TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—I connect the question of Parliamentary Reform with every other kind of Reform that can be carried out in the country, making that of the Parliament in quality to depend on the degree of every other that can be accom plished, and the first necessary to be moved is that of the Church, until it ha restored to its original functions of affording an efficient education in all science to the whole people. Rooting or radicaliz'ng on this ground, lam arrested to notice the trial of Henry Hetherington, in the Court of Queen's Bench on the Bth inst., for a blasphe mous libel, entitled Haslam's Letters to the Clergy. I have seen nothing better than the Times' report of the matter, and know nothing more of the preliminaries than that this is one of the prosecutions instigated by the Bishop of Exeter against the sect of Socialists, and prosecuted, from the Address of the House of Lords to the Queen, by the Attorney-General, under the directions of the Home office. I hope to ha permitted to show that this is a most hypocritical mockery of respect for religion and righteous ness. In the first place the original publisher of Haslam's Letters in Manchester, Abel Heywood, was let off, as under a drawn battle, in consequence of his getting some of the Church booksellers indicted for blasphemous libel. It is as monstrous a piece of injustice to make a bookseller responsible for the contents of a book, as it would be to make a farmer responsible for a bad harvest, THAMES HAVEN DOCK AND RAIL WAY COMPANY. Incorporated by Act of Parliament Capital 450,000/., in 501. Shares, Si. paid. In the re-publication of their Advertisements at the present Moment, when the winter has set in with unusual severity, the Directors of the Thames Haven Dock and Railway Company feel it expedient to call the attention of the Public to the ex treme pressure upon all classes, and especially the poor, occa sioned by the high price of coals in 1837 and other years, when the river has been blocked up with ice. Among many other advantages secured to the public by opening the intended Dock and Railway, it will not be the least important that they will prevent such fluctuations in the price of Coals, as well as greatly reduce it by sending their supply to the London Market wholly independent of the River Navigation ; while the obstacles raised by fogs, ice, and its crowded and dangerous state, to which all passengers by steamboats are now exposed, will no longer impede the passage of travellers to Margate, Ramsgate, or any of the Northern or Continental Ports. Half the Shares are already subscribed and registered. Applications for the remainder, or for Prospectuses and and Plans, may be made to Messrs. Lyon, Barnes, and Ellis, 7, Spring-gardens; Sir George Stephen, 17, King's Arm's-yard; or at the Offices of the Company, 2, St. Mildred's-court, Poultry.

ING THEIR TEETH AND GUMS. itrrasecT FROM MONS. LE DRAY'S " TREATISE ON LOSS OF TEETH. " Among the various disorders of the Mouth, there is none more destructive than Scurvy, which on first entering the Gums "uses them to bleed on the most trifl in g occasions, and pro ;"es the most offensive and freque ntl y p utrid breath. A substance invariably accumulates around the necks vi the Teeth, penetrates into the Gums, which gradually ee *asie away, and the Teeth then become loo se, and mr o p oat whole from their sockets, and it is well known tbei the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. On this subject a distinguished Lecturer makes the followints iservations : see. When the disgusting effects of this accumu lation are considerei, it would appear impossible that any per- Iliasion could be necessary to induce persons to obviate so great tiluisance even on their own account : or if they are too de a7kti to procure th e i r o wn comfort and cleanliness by employ .l a skilful Dentist, they surely have no right to shock the of ethers, who possess more delcacy and propriety of feelingsmell than themselves. Yet, so it is; and the sight and the - .tell are alike constantly outraged by the filthiness of some I tso Ple, who seem to Obtrude their faces the closer in proportion ihe disgust which th e y occasion."—Bell's Lectures, p. 199. n I !Could such persons only see the horrid state of their teeth d gums, or for a moment catch the odour of their own 14 eath, they would not hesitate to seek immediate relief. To rofessiond men, shop-keepers, and trade smen g enerall y , who ate much intercourse with the r efined and fashionable world, . R esides good state dile mouth must be of the greate st importance '.. "'sides is not an offensive breath, which in nineteen cases out " i f twenty proceeds from the had state of the teeth and gums, cry much calculated to prevent the blessing of matrimony ? "Ott how often, from inadvertence or neglect, is the happiness ~; the marriage state most Lrievously interupted by t he same d ell inconvenieneies attending the Loss of Teeth are too knovrn to require comment, but to those who have not ex- Vienced the comfort of Artificial Teeth, Monsieur Le Dray 4 desir ous o f s h ow i ng some of the difficulties more or less en. b es 44l l by every individual without them. When the Teeth are t, it is impossible to make use of solid fond ; and if the th'"lach is then loaded with pieces without being masticated , It ! Patient ie exposed to the most distressing insligestions, the ut uach loses its power of contraction, and becomes weak in S 4 l , ortion as it no longer digests ; besides, when the Teetb : gone, a great vacuum is left in the mouth, which occasions are muscle in the face to be distorted, and the whole features e q ,completely drawn from their original position. e si ! insist on the importance of the teeth, whether in regard k'e'g functions of digestion and articulation, to which they k, 30 essential, or to personal appearance, in which they are te s ,'Yuelt concerned, must appear a waste of words, were it not th"ous that there are many persons who never give themselves 4,,trouble to think upon the subject ; who seem scarcely h e lre that they possess teeth at all, while their gross and cul „Zite negligence renders tha fact too apparent to their friends associates. L' Ai astification is the first process of digestion, and unless it p - ,; (1111 3' performed, the subsequent processes can never go on yerly. i s . ° 0 essential is this preparatory process, that the neglect of it 41ficient to occasion indigestion, a disordered stomach, tinged depression of spirits, the skin becomes mu:lh and of a lead colour, the eyes lose their brilliancy, the lips tor elr vermillion hue, and, in a word, it is no uncommon thing l ax the whol e body to receive such a shock as to cause re rnation of the whole system, which produces an irritable el ' , quite foreign to the natural disposition, whereby t e becom e an annoyance to our friends, and a burthen b eri ourselves. But I need not dwell upon the ORM ri..?" concomitant evils which may thus owe their SQ: to imperfect mastication. It is sufficient to fs in. , that Monsieur Le Dray's improvements will be t e tO be many years in advance of any system now in Eu ti''e and that artificial teeth are brought to such perfection, at Establishment, No. 60, Newman-street, Oxford-street, as o Perform this function in a manner equal in every respect to 'e natural teeth, and may be used with every comfort. They Ire to arranged as to restore the face to its former youthful east, correcting all deformities of the mouth, and entirely doing :way with the old system of springs, clasps, and wires. As an essential point of beauty, the teeth must ever star:. pre-eminent. No regularity of features, no brilliancy of c om- Plexion , no sparkling eyes, or silken braids of jetty hair can r eader that lady beautiful, who when she opens her lips ,k,though they be of coral), discloses a set of teeth irregular or e la is u c o o w loured. On the contrary, even homely features and a complexion are embellished and rendered agreeable by a 11 ,°0d set o f teeth. A mouth large and ill - formed will pass ,;onotieed, when it contains teeth beautifu ll y white and even. "n the other hand the effects of decay , the accumulation of bta r , the blackened and denuded f an g s, and the taint of the which is eltha common concomitant of bad teeth, will - svar , iably prove disgusting and loathsome. Regular teeth, white, and free from all extraneous matter , a ye an ornament equally attractive in either sex. Those per d:23 who d o no t oossess this natural advantage, should en ryoilr, extreme care and cleanliness , and a timely resort artificial aid, to remedy the imperfections, and supply the defi ciencies of suture, in order that their teeth , if no t an agree 'e object, ma yb e prevented, as far as possible, from becoming l'aalsive one. lilonsieur LE DRAY, Surgeon-Dentist, 60, Newman-street, Cle rgy, respectfully acquaints the Nobility, Gentry, eo er gY, and the inhabitants of London and its vicinity, that he ss r„inues to restore Decayed Teeth with his celebrated Mine er ,e 4 armeratum, so universally recommended by the Faculty • .cagland France and throughout the Continent, which osi, sta h t nee be is sole inventor and possessor of.

Mr. Thomas Feaver, woollen warehouseman, Nos. 3 and 4, Friday-street, Cheapside, son of the discoverer, having tested this remedy - by private circulation for several rears, during which time thousands leave been cured, from the nobleman to considers he would be wanting in his duty towards fellow-creatures if he did not give them the full thehis s a p ff s e a r - t i l i t :g advantage of this most important discovery ; he therefore no s to adopt tkis mode of making it publicly Th a' e t cures it has effected in the most violent and longer known. hesitaters ob stiraate cases have been truly wonderful, and a newspaper could be filled with letters and testimonials in confirmation of its efficacy from'persons of rank and distinction, including several from medical gentlemen of eminence.

SOLOAIONS are the most powerful instru ments for the relief of deafness. From their minute construc tion, and convenient form, deaf persons are enabled to wear them entirely unseen, and they may be inserted and removed with the greatest facility.

By SAMUEL WESTCOTT TILKE, Medical Herbalist, Author of " Random Reflections on In digestion, Gout, Tenia Canitis, Scarlet Fever," &c. " Mr. Tilke is one of those individuals who, born with a wooden spoon in their mouths, have, by the alchemy of thrift and industry, converted it into silver. He began the world as a jour neyman baker, but every intermission from the labour of the knead. ing trough, was devoted to the pursuit of medical science. Any man who makes such unceasing efforts as he has done to allevia e the sufferings of humanity, is entitled to honourable mention."— Fimes, Nov. 3. " In this volume we nave the autobiographical memoir of a man, whose career in life has been a chequered one, but who, by sheer dint of perseverance, am: showing a gallant front to misfortune, had the satisfaction of seeing all his efforts crowned with success. The Memoir is an interesting one, as showing what may be accoro plished by energy and good conduct ; and it is written in a cheerful and benevolent strain. As a Medical Herbalist, Mr. Tithe has effected a variety of surprising cures in obstinate cases of gout, rheumatism, and indigestion. His mode of treating some of these diseases is fully described in the course of his Memoir, and he has added reassns explanatory of his system, so that he who runs may read."—The Sun, Nov. 5.

(From the Glasgow Constitutional of lA , riednesday.) There are now 25 in custody, and the .investigation by the authorities is proceeding in due foi EA. We are not prepared to say whether the two men. who are the actual perpetrators of the crime will be ids ntified ; but there is good reason to believe that then 11.1 s been a conspiracy to murder on the principles of rib andism, and that proof will be adduced to that effect. The exami nations were proceeded with on Monday,. in the She riff's Chamber, Stockwell-street, the parties in custody being brought down from Bridewell in noddie s, by twos, with escorts of police and Sheriff's efficers. The pro ceedings hitherto have been strictly p r i ve t ( 1. We have a uthority for stating, that fifteen of the la bola ers have been committed on a charge of murder. The authorities have, in c ourse o f thtir inquiries, found good reason to believe that a labet firer, named Dennis Donlan, is one of the murderers and I a ye offered a reward of 100 1 . for the appr e h ens i on , if f. .)Ilowed by co nviction, of that individual, one -h a lf o f the Feeney to be paid by the Railway Conarany, and the of h er b y the P r ocurator Fiscal of Lana r k s hi re , a t Glasgo ". The following is th e d escr i pt i on g iven of 1 ) oola n Ab o ut 26 or 28 years o f are, fi ve f ee t n ine inches or so in height, long visage, swarthy comp! .0; l?n, large front teeth, thick and prominent lips, smoo th Pee, gray eyes, brown or sandy-eoleurcd hair, win th be wore pretty long.

If a bookseller were bound to read all the books he has to sell in business, he could not get on, he must be master of all languages and all subjects ; his whole time would be occupied in reading ; and he could not possibly so do business enough for a subsistence. The rule of the trade is, that he is the best bookseller who has no opinion to give of his books. In nine cases out of ten in the bookselling business books are got to order, and pass through the hands of a bookseller, as an agency, as they may pass through the hands of a carrier, porter, or errand boy. The binder of a book is as morally respon sible as the seller. And if the bookseller could read at all, how is he to judge of libel, when the very Judges of of the day contradict each other ? Juries must be made ashamed of giving verdicts of guilty in such cases, and Judges of punishing; for most assuredly some of them will iyeto see - the whcrie of these cases followed by solemn udicial and legislatorial reversals or judgment, as in the case of Algernon Sidney and many others. lam neither friend nor acquaintance of Hetherington's ; the little I know of him i dislike; but I would in such a case, do justice to an enemy. The report of the trial took me by surprise ; I had thought this batch of cases at an end, under the compromise with Heywood. But as it is, with your permissian I will put this in a fair, intelligible, and new light. Haslam may be a gross and vulgar man, so to treat the subject of religion ; I believe he is so ; for l am sure that none but a very ignorant and ill-passioned man would write or talk of burning the Bible,' or any other book. This was the point on which the Lord Chief Justice Denman laid stress in asking the jury for a verdict of guilty. What lam about to show is, that all these cases of blasphemous libel arc referable to a bad translation of the Bible, and that the first abuse, the first blasphemous libel, is in the relation of the English authorised version to the original and pure Hebrew text. I have seen some long advertisements in your paper about the translation of the Bible from Mr. Bellamy or his friends, but they are trifles compared with what your neighbours say. From Mr. Straker, 443, West Strand, and Mr. Bennett, 26, Villiers-street, have issued a prospectus and specimen of a new translation of the Bible, by the late Solomon Bennett, wherein we are told that the hagiographical books of the author:zed English version, arc all, excepting the Pentateuch and Prophets, on an average, in two of every three verses, not only corrupt in the translation, but even nonsensical! There is no exception made as to the Pentateuch and Prophets, and it is but a fair inference to suppose this language applying to them also. This Pro spectus was reviewed in the Times newpaper of October 24; the blasphemous libel was copied into the paper, and the reviewer added, that the defects of the translation con stituted a withholding of the divine truths from the people. On the 26th of October there appeared an advertisement of the Prospectus in the Times, in which it is stated that, " the proposed mode of publishing the work has received the approbation of the highest authority."—( See Times of Saturday, October 24, 1840.) Presuming that Hetherington, the bookseller, should not be made responsible for what Haslam the writer has writ ten and printed, we will suppose Haslam standing before the Court and jury defending his writing under this plea— "My Lord and Gentlemen of the Jury, I acknowledge error in my unguarded style of writing. I ought not to have condemned a book, the original language of which I do not understand ; but I have the highest authority fur saying, that the translation, in the authorized version of the English Bible, is, in two out of three parts, corrupt and nonsensical. I know no other, and I claim that it is not unrighteous, to say such a corrupt and nonsensical translation ought to be burnt." How could the Court and Jury meet such a plea? Ba it remembered that neither Haslam, who is a journeyman hatter of Manches ter, nor Hetherington. a printer and bookseller in Lon don, know anything of the Bible in the original Hebrew lan guage ; consequently, all their language applies to the Eng lish version, and I undertake to say that it will very soon be proved, as the settlement of all theological difficulty, as a breaking up of all sects and schisms on the subject, as a reformation indeed, that the first libel on the Bible, and the foundation of all the attacks that have been made upon it, has been the translation itself, changing its lan guage from the pure science and inspiration of ancient mystery into an impure historical narrative, that is no more a revelation of the ancient mystery than is Gulliver's Travels, by Dean Swift ; which, as a satire, or burlesque, or other wonderful narratives, may also be deemed a blas phemous libel. This is not all the case. Catching the Titncs at a blas phemous libel, it was thought great good might be done in a neat exposure of the wickedness of such prosecutions, by indicting the printer and publisher of the Times ; so, on the file of the Clerk of Arraigns, at the Old Bailey, may be found the following ignored bill, presented to the Grand Jury at the November Sessions : " London—The Jurors of our Lady the Queen, upon their oath present (ignored) that JOIIN JOSEPH LAWSON, late of London, printer, being an evil-disposed and wicked person, and disregardiog the laws and religion of this realm, and wickedly and profanely devising and intend ing to bring the Holy Scriptures into disbelief and contempt among the liege subjects of our said Lady the Queen, on the twenty-fourth day of October, in the fourth year of the reign of our Sovereign Lady Victoria, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Queen, Defender of the Faith, at London, that is to say in the parish of Saint Ann, in the ward of Farringdon-within, in London aforesaid, un lawfully and wickedly did print and publish, and cause to be published, a certain scandalous, impious, blasphemous, and profane libel of and concerning the Holy Scriptures, containing therein, among other things, divers scandalous, impious, blasphemous, and profane matters and things of and concerning the Holy Scriptures, in one part thereof, according to the tenor and effect following, that is to say, It is true that portions of the Scriptures (meaning the Holy Scriptures), have been translated by individuals well qualified for the task, and Hebrew scholars ; and professed Theologians have felt the less the want of a new transla tion, because by their acquaintance with the original lan guage they have been at once able to arrive at the true meaning of the text ; but to the public and the great bulk of the Christian world, a defective taanalation has, in some degree, operated as withholding of the Divine truths ; and though portions have been correctly revealed, yet much remained, over which a species of concealment was cast.' And in another part thereof, according to the tenor and effect following, that is to say, Is it to be supposed, that in the period of European barbarism, viz., a period of about fifteen hundred years, during which the prosecution of the Jews violently raged in Europe, and in which many hundred thousand volumes of Hebrew manuscripts were by the Papal Bulls consigned to the flames without exception, and without censure (see Julis Bartolocci's Bibliotheca Magna Rabbinica, vol. 3. p. 679-748)—is it to be supposed that, in a period like this, a correct and faithful version of the Hebrew Bible could have been an essential object of the Church (as then constituted) and its followers ? Even in the last three centuries in which the Reformation took place, and when providentially the discovery of the press has opened an unlimited field fur human intellect, and col leges in all branches of literature, as well as for all lan guages, have been liberally established throughout Europe —even at this period the holy language has not made that progress which is due to its eminence and sanctity, an ex ample of which we behold in the present corrupt state of our received translation, called 'the authorised version' (meaning the English version of the Holy Scriptures) ; nay, of the hagiographical books at large, the subjects of which are of an universal tenor, taking them on an average, two out of every three verses arc not only corrupt, but even nonsensi cal. Such is the real state of the present authorised version (meaning the Holy Scriptures). To the high displeasure of Almigh:y God, to the evil example of an others, and against the peace of our Lady the Queen, her Crown, and dignity." There was a second count, an abridged repetition cf the first. There is too much ground to fear, that if the name of Haslam or Hetirceingtoa, instead of Lawson, Printer of the Times, had been in that bill, it would have passed the Grand Jury as a true bill for blasphemous libel. I ear, show that less offensive language has so passed, and that against a woman. " Bill for a blasphemous libel against John Joseph Lawson, printer and publisher of the Times !' exclaimed the Jury, with surprise. The first quibble was proof of the publication. "Oh !" cried one of the Jury, " we must have proof of the publication from the Stamp. o ffi c e ;" as if anybody would forge a Times newspap er , or as if they would do so, for the purpose of passing •- an indictment before a Grand Jury, t o b e bl own - up when answered. A young man swore that he bought the copy at the Times office, which is preci se ly the extent :s of the evidence against Henry Helherlngton, with the pro bable exception, that II etheringte e ' s name seas not prefixe d or affixed to Haslam's Letters, and if so, without his con , sent, as be was not the original publisher. The young man was asked if he knew Mr. Lawson, to which he an swered in tire negative, imagiac either H o use of Parlia ment so met, on complaint of breach of privilege, and what could be done ? One of the Jury hit on the project of sending the paper to the Judge in Court, Baron Parke, to ask if it we're a ;of which Baron Parke was no legel, judicial, or competent judge, that being the province of the Petit Jury. The paper was scut to Mr. Baron Parke, and returned with the opinion of that Judge, that to say the authorised English version of the Bible was withh o ldi ng of the divine tru th of the ori g inal I Hebrew; and that in two of every three verses the transla. Lion is not only co. -rupt but nonsensical , is not a blasphe mous libel ! Thank You, my Lord Judge ; better late than never. That judg • w true bil an l.

All that I c.. vouch for by witness is, that this was instantly reported by certain parties who were present. This I and others beard. I know not the frame of Hetherington's indictment ; but I have by me in a report of a trial, one that a London ,Grand Jury found about twenty years ago, in the case of the King against Mary Ann Carlile, the sister of that Richard Carlile who was then imprisoned with his wife for similar libels, in Dorchester gaol. The sister, on the im prisonment of the wife, took to the management of her brother's business, and was instnntly prosecuted by a new Society, formed for the purpose of carrying on such pro secutions, in Bridge-street, Blackfriars, calling itself the Constitutional Association ! A more unconstitutional one was never formed, even as a direct violation of statute laws, as a conspiracy to harrass certain individuals. The sub scription for the purpose was six thousand pounds; the Duke of Wellington put his name and money at the head of it, the most disgraceful act of his life. Mary Ann Carlile found an honest Juryman on that her first trial, in Philip Jacob, a merchant, who kept the Jury out 19 hours; and withholding a verdict of guilty, struck a death-blow at the whole Association. She was immediately pounced upon by another Association, miscalling itself a Society for the Suppression of Vice. Here, her defence was suppressed by the Judge, the present Lord Wynford, 'nether honest juryman was wanting, she was condemned, unheard, as guilty, sentenced to one year's imprisonment in Dorches ter gaol, with a fine of five hundred pounds, and kept there two sears, because she could not pay the fine ! She has since gone into society unstained in character, has been since twice respectably married, in the last case, to a Cap tain of the army of high character. After Baron Parke's opinion of what does not constitute a blasphemous libel, you will not be afraid to reprint that for which Mary Ann Carlile suffered two years' imprisonment in Dorchester gaol, where she was worse treated than a felon; because, in their ward, in one of their cells, separately and solita rily, she was locked up apart from them, while they asso ciated by day and night, under the magisterially declared caution, that she might not corrupt the female felons These were the palmy days of blasphemous and seditious libel, under Castlereagh, Sidmouth, Eldon, and Liverpool. It was a small piece of Thomas Paine's writing copied from an American newspaper, and with other pieces mule into an eighteen-penny pamphlet, for which she was prosecuted. Before I make the extract, I will premise, that Mr. Paine was no theologian, and never ought to have written on the sabjcct of religion. He was entirely ig norant of the force and meaning of ancient theological language, and applied his strong common sense to a bad translation of it. In the paragraph about to be quoted, he was decidedly wrong in his statement about the prophecies of the Old Testament not applying to Jesus Christ, but then it was not a wrong of his own originating, but cf the translators. Dr. Lansle, in his Hebrew Hieroglyphics, will set any reader right on this subject. I say this, that it may not be supposed that you or I support his senti ments. We arc dealing only with a publicjudicial record, the indictment of Mary Ann Carlile, in the Court of King's Bench, in the Easter Term of the second year of George the Fourth, 1821. I need not copy the special pleader's verbiage, it is similar to that in the Bill drawn against Laysun. I confine myself to the lan guage indicted. Here it is and this is all !—" Arch bishop Tiliotson says, The difference between the style of the Old and New Testament is so very remark able, that one of the greatest sects in the primi tive times did upon this very ground found their heresy of two Gods, the one evil, fierce and cruel, whom they called the God of the Old Testament; the other was good, kind, and merciful, whom they called the God of the New Tes tament, so great a difference is there between the repre sentations that are given of God in the Books of the Jewish and Christian Religion, as to give at least sonic colour and pretence to an imagination of two Gods." Thus far Tillotson. [We must decline publishing Paine's remarks, because they refer not to a detective translation, but to the religion and montle inculcated in the sacred volume itself, and that, too, in language which will benefit none, but on the con trary, give just cause of offence to every sincere Christian." That is the whole of the blasphemous libel, for the sale of a copy of which Mary Ann Carlile suffered two full years of imprisonment in Dorchester gaol. In another twenty years it will read like one of the trials for witch.. craft. There will be an appearance of romance in the matter, in future ages, and a difficulty to persuade a rising generation that such prosecutions were instituted against women in the nineteenth century. Drop what is cited from the Archbishop Tillotson, for surely that is not part of the blasphemous libel; then sepa rate what is applied to the Popish Clergy as good matter for the Stowell's and 111'Neiles of the day, who say much bitterer things of them ; then contrast what Mr. Baron Parke says is not a libel in the Times newspaper, with the remainder. It is worth a double column : " No libel, to say the B ible " To say, that, because it is corrupt and nonsensical inlis full of contradictions and two-thirds of its translation,lwickedness, we dishonour withholding the divine truths'God by ascribing it to him, from the people." deserves two year's imprison- Times and Baron Parke. ment !"—Lord Tenterdcn.

Sir,--With reference to the question of your " young Dissenting reader," (Sun, Dec. 8,) as to the meaning of the reproachful term " Puseyite," applied to a very ex cellent and pious body of men, I, who am your much older reader (since 1829), beg to offer a few remarks. The doctrine of " Apostolical succession," to which you give so much prominence in your sketch of their tenets, they merely hold, in common with the great body of di vines of the Anglican Church, as well living as dead, and among the former some of their fiercest opponents. They would rejoice in any good resulting from the preaching of unauthorized teachers, and would give them all the respect due to their characters, as pious, though mistaken, fellow-Christians, yet do they consider such teachers as mere laymen, not ministers of Christ's Church ; and are justified in so doing, inasmuch as the bare fact of Ministerial success or personal piety can form no criterion of the validity of ordination, else were Mr. Wilberforce, or even Mrs. Fry, lawful mi nisters. Nor can Dissenters fairly charge them with ilii birality for their conscientious opinions. For, if your cor respondent be an Anabaptist Dissenter, he would not con cede to you or to me (nut having received adult baptism), the name, a true Christian ; at least he would exclude us from participating with his sect in what they deem the Holy Sacrament of the Lord's Supper. With respect to what you term the " old Popish doctrine" that infants un b:-.ptised by a lawful minister cannot be saved, I beg de cidedly, but I hope nut uncourtcously, to deny that it is a Popish doctrine, and certainly it is not an Anglican one. Roman Catholics expressly allow the validity of baptism by a layman, or even a woman, in case of necessity. Sense members only, of the English Church, deny, the validity of lay baptism, the greater number, of which I am one, admit it in case of necessity ; but our Church pronounces no opinion on the state of infants dying uubaptised, or of heathen nations. Her Burial Service is, of course, adap ted only for baptised persons. If you, or your Correspondent, really wishfor informs. lion on the subject of Dr. Pusey's doctrines, you will find subjoined the names of a few short pamphlets, which will enable you to judge whether or not they be " flat popery." But, believe me, I speak from knowledge ; the persons you call "Puseyites" have really introduced no new doctrines at all. They have solely and simply revived forgotten truths, to be found in the pages of Hooker and Hammond, and Jeremy Taylor, and Hall, and a host of our elder divines. In the first twelve sermons of good old Bishop Beveridge (recently reprinted in a small volume), all their tenets as to the Church, tradition, (not Popish oral tradition), and the Fa thers, &c., may be found more strongly asserted than by themselves. Permit me to give you one hint. The persons whom you sometimes revile under the name of " Puseyites,' are not politieo.religious agitators, and therefore. not fair marks foryour hostility. Reserve it for theiltNeiles,Stowelfs, and Al' Ghees, who richly deserve it. The high-minded men I speak of, have nothing to do with politics, they arc quiet, retired students; men of personal piety and self denial. put forth few or no answers to opponents. Moreover, they are NO GREAT FRIENDS TO RELIGIOVS P.S. TABLISIIMENTS. They talk too much of " State incum brance" to please their bitter adversaries the Times and Standard. They believe, and 1 have no doubt justly, that their Church principles would gain immensely in influence by the severance of State connection. Surely you, !qr. Editor, occasionally so felicitous a critic on poetry, cannot really think the author of that garden of roses " The Christian Year," deserving of the coarse in vective you snactirnes bestow on what you call 6. Pu seyism." I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN ANGLO-CATHOLIC, CAUTION TO COFFEE-HOUSE KEEPERS.--.
