Dear Boy,—As the Christmas vacation is nigh, I write you, in hopes of a speedy reply; I hear you have greatly improved at your school, And have never once slighted authority's rule. Se I'm anxious to see you—more anxious than ever, And I mean to reward you for such an endeavour. Your Mama and myself, to encourage your merit, Have purchased you that which you'll proudly inherit : We have bought you a desk, and a scrap •book, and all, And a rocking-horse, too, and a bat, trap, and ball ; And we also present you, for what you have done, 41, A handsome new suit from E. MOSES and SON. Thiasuit is designed en the very best plan, "‘ And I'm sure yuu'il appear quite a smart little man. Ton can scarcely imagine what taste is displayed, In the juvenile garments which MOSES' have made; For what with the cloth, and the cut, and the braid, I consider they honour the tailoring trade. 4 : The strictest attention to fashion is paid, And rivalry, truly, is cast in the shade. I certainly think every rank, , every grade, Should countenance MOSES and SON with their aid, t ; • In the purchase of dress, which if rightly surveyed, 4 Is exactly the style for a smart little blade. 0 LIST OF PRICES.

Numberless and well-authenicatcd cases which hitherto had been considered as incurable by the Faculty, and which in a short time have given way under this treatment, are most unequivocal proofs of its saperlority over every other means as yet employed. t was for a icng period at time a desideratum to discover a mode of cure adapted to all constitutions, and which should be free from the bane ful effects of mercury. We are now arrived t t the solution of this problem by the discovery of a mode of treatment at once simple and easy, and which, without any degree of exaggeration, we can affirm to be infallible in the cure of all secret maladies, however inveterate or of long standing. The method of cure, according to Dr. Albert, is economical and easy, either at home or on a journey, causing not the slightest derangement to the general health, and safe in all seasons aad in all climates. _ _ , sold by E.

One half the world are deoolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em hitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing harry; but the troth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement.

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Hoiorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Ptc. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Cowld the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and Its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many oeuld it he tilted to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific soiree of mischief. and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers.- rite par tlealar excesses, on ,he nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the kamaa frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account •f the Anatomy and Phybielogy of the Iteproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions is health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attentien and study, for what subject can he of more importance than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities of which every man should he possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired In early life or front the follies of advaneed age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shaine and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate digcrimination in ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, lava richly characterise the intelli-gent and practical physician, and to the t Ee pursuits,iti , medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal q L u A a , at r n h s that the b obtainede m u the hlt entitled hcigohnfi t e e sdt rrineesteeee e a m ischaol and respect in his profes sional s h extended.i sdiplomas Dr. u 1 11 od h n ou e r s, a g t e ft s a t ra i fy ,, , tee an i d e: h h e is g pro rea fe t m e i x o t n e a n i t e o x f p e h r t i s en p e r e a: w ti h c i e ch ftr as m ref an e y ren Y ee ear al s m is os a t solely to tf k. savatment of these diseases.

DR. HAMPDEN AND THE SEE OF HEREFORD. The Dean of Hereford has presented the subjoined memorial to the Queen, through her Majesty's Prime Minister : TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. May it please your Majesty,—We, your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subject, John Merewether, Doetor in Divinity, Dean of the Cathedrp. Church of Hereford, most humbly lay before your Majesty the assurances of our deepest and - most heartfelt attach ment to your Majesty's sacred person and government. We thank your Majesty for having graciously granted to us your royal license to elect a Bishop of our church, in the place of the Wet Rev. Father in God Thomas, late Bishop thereof, and for "requiring and commanding us, by the faith and allegiance by which we stand bound to your Majesty, that we elect such a person as may be devoted to God, and useful and faithful to your Majesty and your kingdom." We also dutifully recognise the goodness of your Majesty in accompanying this your royal license with letters missive, graciously announcing to us that out of " your princely disposition and zeal you are de , sirous," as we cannot doubt, " to prefer unto the same see:a person meet thereunto." ...1) And we further acknowledge your Maj es ty' s gra cious intention towards us in "naming and recom mending unto us" by the same letters missive Dr. Renn Dickson Hampden, your Majesty's Reader in Theology in your University of Oxford, to be by us "elected and chosen unto the said bishopric." But we most humbly beseech your Majesty to per mit us, as in duty bound, and in obedience to your Majesty's gracious command touching the qualities of tite„persoß 4 4 ) in . c hosen, by us, to represent (And, if it e deemed necessary, by stifficieht documents to prove), that somewhat more than eleven years ago the said Dr. Renn Dickson Hampden, then being the late King William's Reader of Theology, the said University did, as . by its laws, rights, and privil e ges, a nd by the law of 'the land it is empowered, and on fit occa sion bound to do, judge of the published writings of the said Dr. Hampden, and did solemnly decr-e, and by a statute in the House of Convocation duly made, did enact that the said Dr. Hampden should be de prived of certain weighty functiGns, importing the right of judging of sound teaching and preaching of God's word, which had been specially annexed by former statutes of the said University to his office iherein—to wit, " that he be in the number of those by whom are appointed the select preachers ' before the University ; and, further, that his counsel be taken in case of any preacher being called (as by the statutes of the said University every preacher who may have delivered any unsound or suspected doc trine in any of his preachings is liable to be called) into question before the Vice-Chancellor." And such deprivation of Dr. Hampden was expressly declared in the said statute to have been &creed, " because in his said published writings he has so treated matters theological, that in this respect the University hath no confidence in him." Furthermore, six years afterwards, the Convocation of the said University having been called together to consider the question of the fitness of repealing the said statute, so that the said Dr. Hampden might be restored to the functions of which he had been as aforesaid deprived, the said Convocation did there upon solemnly decree that the stctute should not be repealed, but should still be (and accordingly it still continues to be) in full force and viglur; whereby the said Dr. Hampden stands to this day denounced by the judgment of the said University as "devoid altogether of its confidence in matters theological, by the reason of the manner in which those matters have been treated by him in his published writings." And here we deem it our duty to your Majesty humbly to submit, that not only by the people and Church of England, but by all your Majesty's royal predecessors, the solemn decisions of either of your Majesty's Universities of Oxford and Cambridge on questions and matters of theology have always been deemed to carry with them very high authority, and that such is the renown of these your Aiajesty's fa mous Universities throughout the reformed portion of Christendom, that everywhere their judgment is heard with reverence and honour. Neither may we omit dutifully to lay before your Majesty, that to the office of a bishop, to which we are commanded by your Majesty to choose " a person meet to be elected," essentially adheres the duty of judging of the doctrine of the clergy committed to his charge, especially of those who are to be insti tuted or licensed by him to the cure of souls—which high duty the University of Oxford has decreed, as aforesaid, that Dr. Hampden is, in its judgment, unfit to have confided to him ; the distressing and disas trous consequences which must be expected to result from placing the diocese of Hereford, by the strong hand of power, under a person so vharacterized by so high authority, we are as unwilling as it would be painful to recount. For all these reasons, and not least because, in common as we believe with almost every considerate Churchman, we are desirous and anxious that the prerogative of the Crown in nominating to bi s h o p r i cs should be for ever established on its only firm foun dation—the confidence of the Church in the wisdom, the justice, the purity, the considerate, and conscientious moderation with which it is exercised; — we most humbly pray your Majesty to name and recommend some other person whom your Majesty shall think meet to be elected by us for our Bishop, or that your Majesty will graciously relieve us from the necessity of proceeding to the election till you shall have been pleased to submit Dr. Renn Dickson Hampden's published writings (so judged as afore said by the Convocation of th, , University of Ox ford) to the judgment either of the two Houses of Convocation of clergy of the province of Canterbury which is now sitting, or of the Provincial Council of Bishops of the same province, assisted by such divines as your Majesty or the said Provincial Coun cil shall be pleased to call, or of some other compe tent tribunal which your Majesty shall be graciously pleased to appoint. In order whereunto we have appointed for the day of election the 28th day of December instant, being the eleventh day from the receipt of your Majesty's conga cr aire, and the last which we can lawfully appoint. And we are the more emboldened to lay this our humble supplication at the feet of your Majesty by your known cordial attachment to our holy and apostolic church, and by your faithful and uniform observance of the oath made by your Majesty at your coronation,—" That you will maintain and preserve to the utmost of your power the doctrine, discipline, and government thereof." And even if it could be imagined that these last mentioned considerations apply not to our case, we should nevertheless confidently rely on your Majesty's experienced regard for that dearest and most sacred right of every class and description of your subjects, the right of liberty of conscience, and on your having at the head of your Majesty councils a Noble Lord, the proudest boast of whose illustrious house, as well as of his own public life, it hitherto has been to assert that right for all men against all opponents—a right which would in our persons be trampled to the very dust if, in spite of all our just and reasonable reclamations,:we be coerced under the threatened penalties of preemu nire to elect for our bishop. a person whom we cannot conscientiously believe, so long as the aforesaid judg ment stands against him, to be " meet to be elected" to that most holy office. In conclusion we would add our fervent prayer, as well as our most earnest hope, that youriMajesty may long be permitted by the King of Kings to reign in the hearts of all your subjects the approved " Defender of the Faith," " ruling all estates and degrees of men amongst us, whether ecclesiastical or temporal," as is your sacred and undoubted right—giving alike to all experience of the blessings of your just and beneficent government 4 and .receiving from all the willing homage-of grateful and confiding love. In witness whereunto we have affixed our decanal seal this 17th day of December, in the year of our L or d 1 847. (II S.) DEATH OF ADMIRAL RIBOULEAIL—Vice-Admiral Peter Ribouleau died on the 16th instant. The deceased though not fortunate enough to serve his time for his active flag, nevertheless saw much good service in early life. He was a midshipman of the Prince William, in the late Admiral Lord Hood's well-tnanatuvred action with Comte De Grasse, off St. Kitt's, in 1781; and served under the same distinguished and Gallant Ad miral during; the occupation of Toulon, in 1793, by whom he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. He served as Lieutenant of the Glory, in Lord Howe's action, on the let of June, 1794; and in the Monarch, at the reduction of the Cape of Good Hope in the follow ing year. In the expedition to Egypt he commanded the Astrea troop ship, and was disembarked with the army during the various severe operations, for which service he was gazetted.—United Service Gazette. RELEASE OF BARBER, THE LATE CONVICT.—On Saturday information was received, by private letter in the metropolis, that the late convict, Barber, who was banished from this country some years since, has received a free and unconditional pardon, and that he left Sydney on the 16th of August last. Barber, it will be remembered, was convicted of forgery in the celebrated will case, in whi c h a man o f t h e name o f Fletc h er a l so appeared as a principal. It is stated in the letter that it is not the intention of Barber to come immediately to England ; he intends, it is said, to remain for some time in Boulogne. No information is contained in this com municatiou ay to the reason why the pardon was granted. DR. HAMPDEN'S LETTER TO LORD JOIIN RUSSELL.* My Lord,—lt is indeed painful to an honest mind to have to answer a charge of unfaithfulness to a high trust. And what else is the charge alleged by cer tain parties, who are reviving a clamour agniest me, and agitating .the clergy with their jealousies and alarms, but that of unfaithfulness to my engagements to the church of which lam a minister ? If a per son holds not.in sincerity the doctrines of the church to whose ministry he has been called—if he is no minally and professedly in the church, but in he=art dissents from, or is indifferent about, its faith-- what is this, 'which is the substance, as far as appears to me, of what has been advanced against me, but an imputation of the grossest dereliction of religious and moral duty ? In ordinary circumstances I might treat such an attack with silent contempt. But there are occasions which demand a sacrifice of feeling. And the present appears to be such an occasion, when, by thus publicly addressingyourLordship,l shall at once discharge aduty to her Most Gracious Majesty, and to yourself, my Lord, the First Minister of the Crown, and may hope at the same time, by a simple statement of the truth, to tranquillize the minds of humble and earnest Christians, who may have been perplexed by the im passioned appeals made to them against me. It is, as I have said, a painful trial to have to en• counter such most groundless but most unrelenting enmity. After a devoted service in the ministry of the gospel for more than a quarter of a century, of which the last 12 years have been divided between the labours of the Divinity chair and parochial ministrations, I might well be excused: from replying to accusatiinwhich my whole life passed under the eyes off-minOind in thf -pr 6 . e4 ge of that all : seeing. God who tries the heart, e ff ec tually refUtes—friun being required to deny having impugned those vital truths of our holy faith which it has been my con stant study to uphold and enforce. Alas, my Lord, how commonly in the jealousies and heartburnings of the polemical spirit is that precept of the Divine law, " Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour," carelessly vio lated! The promotion of certain views, or the de pression of an antagonist, is too often regarded by the corrupt human heart as a warrant for any excess of uncharitableness, and even for untruth. If ever there was a time when the circumstances of the Church presented a temptation to this offence, it is the present. The Church has now for many years been grievously troubled by what is familiarly known as the Trac,arian movement—an organized agitation for the purpose of secretly revolutionizing the Church of this country, for un-Protestantizing it, as it has been said by some of the party, or "developing the Catholic principle latent in it.' With what effect the move ment has been working is but too evident. Not only have numbers been seduced from the Church of their fathers to the corrupt Church of Rome, but among such many even of the clergy, forgetting their ordi nation vows and their sacred obligation to the Church which carried them to Christ in baptism, have led the way in the apostacy. Nor has the evil been stopped by these open secessions. Many remain among us deeply infected with the same principles which have carried others openly to Rome. These consist chiefly of the younger clergy, ready, as late events have shown, to respond to the call of their leaders and to throw the weight of their numbers into any question of high interest to their party. In such a state of things no one's theological or pastoral character is safe. Any one who is adverse to the designs of the party, and whom it may be worth while to attack, cannot expect to escape. Nothing is easier, in such times of excitement, than to collect a number of sig natures of persons whose names are already registered with their leaders, and to make such persons zealous and active men , as they are for the most part eager to prove their chivalry in the cause, centres of agita tion in different parts of the country. Nor is it anything strange or novel, my Lord, which is now happening. From the Scriptures we learn how the Apostles themselves, following their Lord in his persecutions, were reviled and evil entreated by their brethren. In our own country, the learned author of the "Defence of the Nicene Faith," Bishop Bull, had to complain of a charge of Socinianism brought against him by a brother minister of the Church. And be:ore him even the excellent Hooker had to defend his opinions, delivered in sermons at the Temple, against the exceptions of an opponent from the same pulpit; and at a later period-4 his life, amidst the simplicity and blame lessness of his daily conversation, to resist a scan dalous attack on his character, which nearly bowed him to the grave. And thus Archbishop Tillotson complains, in one of his sermons, of the evil tongues of his day. "I know not," he says, " how it comes to pass, but so it is, that every one who offers to give a reasonable account of his faith, and to establish religion upon rational principles, is presently branded for Socinian. . . . But if this be Socinianism, for a man to inquire into the grounds and reasons of Christian religion, and to endeavour to give a satis factory account why he believes it, I know no way, but that all considerate, inquisitive men, that are above fancy and en th us i asm, must be either Soc i n i ans or atheists." t int c m : ,trhtahgpeeandt, belynwcteohutolosdelsiaai and ci wmei Lord,ell, ivv hloi k, e i b ne e x instructed es a u n b d i : n e e mys tery of His Providence, has appointed for good that I, humble servant of Hi s as I am, should pass through this ordeal of calumny. What is most afflicting in it is, that I am accused of detracting from His glory and the infinite merits of his blessed atone ment. He knows, however, that I have not done so. lam solaced a n d strengthened with th i s thought. I hope, therefore, calml— y to address myself to the ob jections which my importunate adversaries, with all the vehemence o f an electioneering contest, are recklessly throwing out against me. Let me endea vour to silence that conflict of feelings within my own heart which so unmerited and so base a charge naturally excites. First, then, my Lord, I most solemnly deny the scandalous imputation. As an honest man, 1 say I do not, and never did for one moment of my life, in thought or word, hold or maintain any other doctrine respecting our Lord' s most holy Person and His blessed Work of Redemption, than that which is plainly set forth from Scriptu r e in the Articles and Formularies of our Ch urch. I ho l d, too, and have ever held most firmly, th e full doctr i ne o f th e H o ly Trinity, as stated on the same authority in the same documents of the Church. Nay, I go on to say, w i t h the utmos t co nfidence of my sincerity, that I h ave on every occas i on exer t e d myself to defend the se h oly truths, w hi c h I b e li eve, not with a mere assent, but really love and delight in. My conviction has been that no sermon, no exposition of religious doctrine, or exhortation to religious conduct, could have any unction of spi ritual instruction, any livin g p o wer to teach or to persuade, which did not derive its strength f rom these holy and lovely truths, which describe to us God the Father giving his on l y b egotten Son, his co-equal in majesty and power, "to the end that all that believe in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life ;" God the Son giving himself in love, taking on Him our nature, and born into th e world, living and dying for us men, and for our salvation ; God the Holy Ghost, proceeding from the Father and the Son, the third person in the blessed Trinity, sent down with holy comfort from the Saviour to instruct and guide the Church through all ages. These great revealed verities, no mere opinions collected by speculative reasoning, but the manifest indisputable teaching of Scri pture —without which Scripture would not be what it is—l have then ever taught and enforced both as most certain and most necessary to be believed. It is not my teach in g , w hatever may have been attempted to be shown b y prejudiced e s i n, j ust i f i cat i on a u n d y ice o cl th a e d r ve o rs f a i r t i s es g , that grace, the efficacy of the two sacrament s instit uted by our L or d— are nothing more than th eories f ormed by th e h uman . bf t u h y e n fd d aa o n h t e, r n i p n t ar e el s vt o er n f u tt Scripture ihrisg_ asnudeha s as o si r s tin g mind on the text of Scripture. It is a very great mistake to suppose that I have ever meant this, in what I said of the force of theory, in my Hampton lectures or elsewhere. It is one thing to endeavour to unfold the theories on which a particular phrase ology employed in the systematic statement of Divine truths has been framed and adapted to its purpose; and quite another thing to state that the truths them selves which that phraseology expresses are mere theories, or mere opinions, or probable con clusions, having no positive certainty in them. This latter misconstruction belongs to those who have taken it up. It is not mine; it has no warrant in anything that I have said in theological discussion. My Hampton lectures, indeed, were not written for popular reading, but for such as should come to the study of the subject with some previous knowledge both of theological questions and of ancient to ordi nary readers.

But whatever lias been done by hostile and uncandid expositors in the way of perverting or olpouring my. meaning, I have the sa ti s f act i on of knoAing that many nest and intelligent minds have. apprehended my true intent and appreciated my labours. Thus, for instance, this or that person would - not or could not see, that it is a strong - argument fdr the truth of the catholic doctrine of the Trinity; that even here tics (es I have urger]) have in some sense professed it, however imperfectly and injuriously, thusiacknOw ledging the trillh amidst their vain attempts to cor rupt and destroy it, unconsciously bearing testimony to its existence in disputing it; and the truth,itself showing its vital strength in surviving their attacks. Many such instances of cruel misrepresentation I could allege. But I will not weary your Lord Ship's., patience. Let me, however, be suffered to say, What I would fain have remetnbered only in thanksgiving to Him whose grace enables us to think or do anything good, that I have reason to bless God that in one in stance at least I have not laboured in vain ; but anti a person, now a pious and distinguished :Minister of. Christ, was confirmed and fixed, by what I have ad vanced on the subject of the Trinitarian controversies, in the true faith of that holy mystery. And does 'not this one fact more than outweigh . the assertions of a thousand anonymous writers in newspapers, copying one another and repeating the original false statement of the first mistaken or misrepresentingccitnmentatOrs? Most sincerely, then, and most firmly do I believe. that there is but one catholic faith—one invariable' standard of orthodox truth';' and that. all departures from this, consequentb) are errors of doctriOe and corruptions of the faith, arid not' that " forth of sound:, words" which God has set forth to us in his revelation. I challenge my impugners to disprove this asser tion of my belief, not by sophistical constructions,. not by garbled quotations, such as th e publi c has b een too familiar with from their hands ' • not by mere verbal inferences, not by the false colouring of their • own minds, or by the shadows cast from their own theories; but from plain and direct assertions quali fied and explained, as all assertions must be, by the context and other passages, and the general tenor of my writings. They have hitherto kept certain por tions of my publications as much as possible out of view. They have continued repeating certain sen tences, or half sentences, as if these were so many oracular dicta of mine, striking ever on the same note which they once found to awaken a chord in the minds of the uninformed or the prejudiced, skil fully, indeed, as tacticians, but most dishonestly as men. Let them, then, abandon these mere party polemics. Let them fairly show, if they can, where I have expressed the slightest doubt of the truth, or of the importance of the great Christian doctrines Which are the foundation of our faith. I may appeal to any of my sermons, preached or published (I in clude, in this reference, a volume of Parochial Ser- mons, published by me in 1828, and since reprinted), and to every course of lectures delivered by me, whether public or private, as Regius Professor of Divinity. But, my Lord, whilst I fully believe that there is but one catholic faith, lam not required by this per suasion to treat disrespectfully or uncharitably all that differ from us, or that conscientiously declare that they, for their part, cannot learn that faith from the Bible. I would do nothing to encourage dissent from the Church. It grieves me whenever I see it. But at the same time, I am for a full toleration, if dis., sent be only open and avowed ; a toleration that is extending not only to the grant of civil privileges to Pissenters, but to the equitable and kind .considera don of their statements and arguments, as well as of their feelings. I would try to win them over—l would not exasperate them. I would not presume to surrender God's truth, which is not mine. to. give away, or to call error and falsehood by: the sacred name of truth. But as for candid and indulgent consideration for the persons of, those who are in 1 error, this is in every man's power, and is every Christian man's bounden duty to give. This', tb4n,. I would not withhold even from those who have de parted the furthest from the true faith. If, accordingly, on any occasion I have venturedto call Unitarians Christians, surely this must be undcr stood in the wide charitable sense of the term—not in that strict sense in which it belongs to a believer •in the divinity and, the blessed atonement of our Lord, but in a sense not unlike that in which it is used-in our liturgy, when we pray for " all who profess and call themselves Christians," that they "may be led into the way of truth," &c. What I may have said, then, in charity of the persons, or of the modes of reasoning, of misbelievers, cannot in any .air ness be underitood as indulgence to their tenets. I repeat, I not only regard the doctrines of the Holy Trinity, and of the incarnation and atonement of our Lord, and the salvation of man through faith only: in him, with the truths arising out of, and closely connected with these great doctrines, as most cer tain, but, further, as vitally important to be believed in order to a saving faith and a right prac tical religion. So intimate, indeed, I conceive is the connexion between a sound theology and a right religious conduct, that they alone can properly 'be said to have a right religion who have a sounn ()- logy. Still, the two terms, theology and religion, admit of being separately defined, according to the proper notion of each. For so St. James speaks of "pure religion and undefiled before God ;" pointing out the practical moral duties, the charity and p u rity of life wherein it consists. urely, no one can justly suppose from this, that St. James dispenses with a sound theology as the basis of that religion which' he describes. Nor ought I to have been construed as divorcing a sound theology and a right religion. ; I have insisted, indeed, my Lord, constantly on he supremacy of Scripture as our rule of faith; and what consistent member of the Church of England does nch ? But this very assertion of the supremacy of Scriptke ha,s been taken up invidiously by some, as if I re jected altogether the authority of the Church, al-id undervalued its importance as a visible institution of Christ's religion. This, however, cannot by any means, be justly said of me. I have ever taught that a deferential respect to the authority_ of the Church, as it is laid down and explained in the formularies of our Church, was most incutnirnt.: on Christians, though certainly not that high and trans cendent respect which is due to the inspired word alone. But the fact is, that many of those who are now objecting to me will be satisfied with no view on this subject which is not virtually the same as that of Rome—ascribing to the Church not only an au thority of order, such as is claimed in our articles, but an absolute authority for propounding matters' of faith, and requiring its decisions to be received with unquestioning submission by its members. The Church, in their view, is not simply " the witness and keeper of Holy Writ," but the depository of revealed truth, the authoritative interpreter of scripture, with out which scripture is conceived by them to speak an uncertain sense. But what is this but to suppose that the Chuich is endued with an infallible authority ? For, unless it can pronounce infallibly, how can the Christian be required to receive its decisions as divine truths obli gatory on his faith ? This notion, however, of church authority will be found to be the root of the objections of this class of theologians to the teaching of all who require that all doctrines should be ;drawn from scriptures. With them the reference to scripture is an " heretical principle," because it holds up the authority of scrip ture over that of the Church in all questions of doctrine. Hence that animosity against all who thus establish the articles of faith, and their unchecked boldness in repeating charges of heresy against any confession of faith, however sound in itself, which claims to be simply scriptural in its authority. , A person, in their view, is n o believer, who does not hold their " c hurch-principles"—that is, who does not build his faith on the Church in their sense. But, my Lord, I must notice, before I conclude, the hollevr pretence of those who are resting their objections to me on the statute of the University passed in 183 G. I think it will be found that some of those who are urging this point were the most active instru ments themselves in carrying that illegal measure. Men • are naturally unwilling to acknowledge their wrong. More is the honour due to those excellent persons who have not wished that day of excitement to be remembered against me, but would now gladly erase the record of it. But it is distressing to see that there are others who would fall back on their own wrong and would take a false advantage from it to justify themselves to themselves and to the public, That statute, however, I would observe, has been virtually repealed by two subsequent proceedings in the University ; in the first place, by the New Theo logical Statute of 1842, which placed me, as Regius Professor, at the head of a newly constituted board of TheolOgical Examiners ; and then, in the same year, by the just act of the chief authorities of the Univer sity, with whom rests the initiative of every measure, the board of heads of houses and proctors, who unanimously proposed a form of statute for rescinding it. So far, then, as the chief responsible body of the University is concerned, I am relieved of the burden of that statute; though the Tractarian party sue - ceeded, with a very reduced majority, however, in throwing out the measure in convocation.

I trust, my Lord, I hare not exceeded that reserre which becomes me in addressing your Lordship. I am sure you will not wonder at my feeling strongly on an occasion of such solemn interest to me.

Pascoe.: 1 Long, Walter ASSAULT AND BATTERY EXTRAORDINARY.—About one o'clock on Friday afternoon, two gentlemen were observed in earnest conversation together opposite the Baltic Coffee-house, Threadneedlsestreet. One of them, a pugnacious -looking person, seemed to be resting both hands on the breast of .the other, with his mouth close to his ear, as if pressing upon his attention some im portant matter of business. While they were in this position, we recognised Mr. J— 11—, the eminent merchant, as one of the parties to the dialogue, and Mr. W. M. S., a Russia broker, as the other. In an instant the latter gentleman gave utterance to the exclamation of " liar," threw himself back into a fighting atti tude, and forthwith commenced a most terrific battery upon the face and head of the former, following up his blows until the unfortunate object of his attack lost lii% hat, and, getting entangled in his great coat, stumbled into the street, .when he was rescued by the crowd. From the unprepared manner in which Mr.ll face—w wag ou ld standing at the moment the first blow was lev e ll e d at him, we made sure that every feature of his be so much disfigured as to prevent his app earance on the Royal Exchange for a very long ti me to o obtaining a glance at his countenance, howeevenr,e'as On was crossing the street, towards the Mansion-house, we were glad to fi T n h d at th a at b n l o a t ek so e m y u e ch m as a scrat c h cou ld b e e conflict is more thanawy.eneoatnbuendtheertacokneateo dqiuseeneevee r e e i d . t h guarantee. The origin of this extraordinary scene of outrage did not t ransp i re, but ' we rather think Mr. H--'s assailant pleads, in his own justification, the excuse of having been somehow the first struck.—Post.

The meeting having been declared duly constituted, 203 shareholders being present, representing 11,059 shares, the President called on M. Chaper, the secre tary, . to read the report:— This document commences by expressing regret that the •great tardiness of the Government authori ties, in delivering up to the company the several parts of the line, had delayed the opening- longer than the board_ of directors had calculated on. At the last general meeting, the report had expressed a beli e f thai the line from Tours- to Angers would be opened to the public befor e the end of --the present year, but the works execu ted by the Government had been delivered over to the company only in July, and then not in a continuous line of road, but in four pi,ces separated by unfinished intervals The two first of these chasms would, how ever, soon be filled up, and the line between Tours and Saumur, 64 kilometres (40 English miles), would be delivered to the public in May next, and lls far- as Angers in some months after. The report then enters into details relative to the contracts formed for-the turn-tables, carriages, locomotives, &c. Everything of that kind had been commanded, and nothing re ,mained to be.ordered but matters of inferior impor tante. . The board having now before them full estimates of all the cost of establishment and outlay of stock, fixed and, rolling, could take on themselves to.deelare that the eventual expenditure would not exceed the social capital. The report 'next touches on the circumstances attendant on the last call of 7.5 f. In consequence of the crisis which set in a certain number of shares ,had remained unpaid ; the board, taking into consideration the difficulties of the mo ment, 'successively gave further time for payment, until at last it fixed the 28th of November as the final period of inddlgenee. This prudent course, of giving as much time as possible, was attended with the best results, as not •more than tetween 1,600 and 1,700 shares then remained unpaid, and they m:gre.scad the next day at the 13OUrse. An interest of 5 per cent. was required from such shareholders as had not paid up at the time originally fixed.

The amount would be most probably 50f., and no other call would be required during the year 1848. The accounts were then passed unanimously, after which the meeting separated. LONDONDERRY AND ENNISKILLEN. On Saturday an adjourned special meeting of this company was held at the offices, Church-passage, Guildhall, to take into consideration a report pre sented by a committee at a recent meeting; J. G. Frith, Esq., in the chair. The meeting arose under the following circumstances :—ln consequence of cer tain letters having been published by Messrs. Lea - tham and Bond, two Derry directors, reflecting on the proceedings of the London board, a meeting of the shareholders was held on the 20th of October, to take the charges into consideration, when a committee of five shareholders, not in any way connected with the management of the company, were appointed to report upon its affairs, and Mr. Vandeput, Dr. Conquest, Mr. Laver, Mr. Bates, and Mr. Tuller were appointed the committee. These gentlemen .made a report to a special meeting of the pro prietors on the Stn inst., wherein they stated that, having considered the allegations against Messrs. Bond and Leatlt:ii, they abstained from making a report thereon, believing that the best in tere,ts of the company mould not be promoted thereby. They throw th,- blame of whatever excessive charges appeared on Mr. Leishman's contract for the line be tween Londonderry and Strabane, entirely upon Mr. Robert Stephenson. They advised the resistance of Mr. Leishman's unpaid balance, amountinL to 26,0001., believing that he had already been paid too much, The committee also recommended an extension to Omag,-h or Newton Stewart. They recommended a re iluction of the allowance of the directors from 800/. to 3001. a year, and likewise a reduction of the allowance of the auditors, now receiving 301. a year, to 10/. each. The salary of the secretary it was also proposed to reduce to 501. a year. Other reductions, both in London and in Derry, would, if acted upon as the committee recommended, reduce the company's ex penses by no less a sum than 1,0401. a year. A counter report was now prt sented by the direc tors, in which they complained that the committee had not gone more fully into the charges against the directors, and exonerated them therefrom. Thep agreed with the other recommendations of the com mittee for reducing the expenses at the half -yearly meeting, but they thought it due to the secretary to state that the proposal to reduce his salary had ema nated from his own voluntary offer. After some discussion, in which the directors were generally exonerated from blame, it was resolved to receive the two reports, and adopt the suggestions of the directors. BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION. The adjourned half-yearly meeting of the share holders was held at Birmingham on Friday; P. H. Mont; E)q., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN moved—" That the report and statement of accounts presented by the directors to the shareholders, at the meeting in August, are wholly unsatisfactory, and that the same be not ap proved or passed." The-Chairman said that in the first instance a sub-committee had been appointed to examine the accounts _ The resolution was carried by proxies, the show of hands being against it.
