EvEt4TING RDITIONI MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. (THURSDAY EVENING.) CHRONICLE.— We proceed to give a brief detail of the rise and progress of the transaction by which Brazil stands indebted to Portugal and the creditors of that country. By the convention of Augu.t, 182 a, by Which the independence of Brazil from Portugal was recognised, Brazil agreed to pay Portugal 2,000,000/. sterling as an indemnity. Brazil accordingly, as a con verrience, took upon herself the redemption of 1.300.0001., tontracted by Portugal in England in 1823, of which IPO,OOO/. had been redeemed, and the balance, 500,0001., was to be paid by Brazil to Portuga lin cash. In liJnsequence of this, Brazil assumed the payment of the dividends of that loan (which was then inscribed as z, Brazilian debt), and continued to pay them until "0 r Miguel usurped the Crown of Portugal ; when, Ur .der the pretence that there did not exist in Portugal r 4 legitimate government to whom 13razil might continue to pay legally the amount of the dividends on the loan of 1823, the payment of them was suspended, and so continued dui:ng the usurpation. The Brazilian Go vernmer c, however, continued to demand regularly in their ledtiget the annual sums to discharge these divi dePta which were as rogularly granted. V: hen the Portuguese B. , geney Loan was negotiated, tll, Committee of the Stock Exchange demanded that II reserve should be made of that lova to satisfy all the 'arrears of dividends due on the loan of 1823, without which it was not to be admitted on the Stock Exchange : and necessity trampelled the representatives of the Re ger.ey to aec-..de to that demand. Soon after the Quern Donna Maria was restored to the throe a, and, consequently, the pretext of Brazil for non-pav meat vanished. Po•au 4 al, therefore, demanded of Brazil the reim burr armour of the dividends thus paid upon her account. Brazil then resumed payment of the future dividends, Ir at put forward claims against the arrears, continuing, - nevertheless, to present annually to the Legislature those arrears as a debt to be paid off. In 1836, Portugal, on the faith of this recognized debt, contracted a loan with Mr. Goldsmid for 900,0001., secured on the revenues of the country generally, and e..pecially on the amount of that debt set aside for the - redemption el this loan. Of this loan 200,000/. have been cancelled, and there remain now 700,0001. only outstanding. In June, 1837, the two Governments appointed Commissioners to adjust a settlement of the transac tion, and a convention was concluded in London, by which that power was declared to be indebted to Por tugal in the balance of about 488,0001., or, as we have stated It before, 190,000/. It this convention, the mode of payment Was agreed to be is a new Broz;iian Five per Cent. Stock, at the rate of 8.31. pr An arrangement was entered into at the same time by which this Stock was to "be secured, and to be bona fide applied to the redemption and extinction of the Purtuguese loan of 1836. Portugal honestly adhered to the convention, and waited the ratification of Brazil to carry its provisions into effect, but Brazil has ever since evaded the com pletion of it. The Brazilian Government may plead that they ate no parties to the transaction with the bondhold ers, inanitich as that loan is a Portuguese loan, and not a Brazilian one ; Brazil this much is clear, that by the line of condu c t Brazil has followed, Portugal is doubly a sufferer, first, in having been compelled to create a ;rent amount of debt when the Regency ioan was issued. the price of which was 48, from which the commission and charges were deducted, to provide for the payment of the arrears of the dividends of the loan of 1828, left unpaid by Brazil, and which, by the stipulations of the convention of 1837, is to be repaid at the rate of 85 ; and, secondly, in being com pelled to provide , for the half dividend now in course of payment on the 700,0001. Stock of the provisional loan, secured especially on the debt owing by Brazil, which, by the default of Brazil, continues in existence. • Tile injustice towards the Portuguese bondholders is manifest, and worthy of the consideration and protection of the Committee of the Stock Exchange. W.: arc very much mistaken in the estimate we have formed of the representative of the Brazilian Govern men't, if lie would avail himself of any special pleading to get rid of an obligation so clearly due by bis couetry. We believe that it is only necessary to lay the facts fully before him to iuduce his Excellency at once to acknow• ledge the claims of the Portugeese bondholders to the appropriati n of the balance due by Brazil to Portugal, and that it is incumbent on Brazil to fulfil the terms of the convention of 1837. The case is as plain es sun light. Brazil cannot appear as a borrower with clean hands until the ba lanc: due by her to Portugal in terms of that con vention ;s discharged. It has been admitted by Brazil, and it should therefore be settled by the Government of that country, before new credits are opened in their name. It is of no avail to say that Portugal is in an insolvent state, and Brazil a solvent one. We advocate the cause of the creditors of Portugal, and the assumed insolvency of their debtor only adds strength to our plea. 'lf Portugal cannot pay her debts at present in full, it is surely the more necessary that those in debted to 11,.r should not withhold the money belonging t the creditors of Poti.ugal which they have in their bands. Since writing the above, we have learned that a de putation had an interview to-dly with the Brazilian Minister, for the purpose of representing the hardship of the case to his Excellency, and that the result has Len such as we expected—satisfactory to the claims of the deputation. We trust that we have :wen rightly infot med, in being told that the matter is likely to Le soon adiusted, ai it ought. Our remarks may have been disagreeable to the Brazilian Minister, but we can not see cause to alter or modify what we have said, being satisliad that our views were correct, and that we have merely stated facts. We also understand that his Excellency expressed to the deputation a desire to con solidate the various descriptions of Brazil Stock into one demonstration, a measure which, we are confi dent will meet ohh general approbation, and we hope it Will be followed out as soon as tile requisite arrange. Incuts e .n be carried through. TIMES —ln the Paris money-market much con j •eture is exercised respecting the forthcoming loan, the amount of ir, and the form in which it is to be nego tiated. The total sum required is 600,000,000 f., or 24,000,000/. hut whether it is to take place in Five or in Taree per Cents. seems undecided. If in Three per Cent., the intention of the Minister is understood to be to adopt something like the English method of receiving tenders in loin contracts, that is, to tix a e-rt,.;n amount in stock, and t•, allow the bidding: to take place it) annuities. This mode was adopted with our West India loan. the last contract on a large scale entered into at the Treasury. This impvading measure seems to he regarded with much Mar in atnang the London capitalists, not that they can dislike in themse.ives any transactions that tend t o (nhance the value of money, but because they think that the Bank may take fright at it, and renew those restrictive measures which they are but just beginning to moderate a little, to the detriment of every man in trade, ,vhatever commodity he may traffic in. Nothing c.nt more hilly demonstrate the weakness of the Bank ,rt this sensitive feeling about foreign loans, which ashen prudently entered into, and in a healthy state or our enrainurce, have never done any harm. Let them 011ee get rid of their unav , .ilable securities, and they may safely leave these things to take their own course. It is understood that some further notices to is consi derable extent have been given to the East India Com pany fur repayment of the capital of their bonds. The locking up of money for l • ' month:, and that after notice given, which the present plan renders necessary, is the less liked the more it is considered. SUN.—The business in the public securities, is neces sarily becoming more limited every day, as the transfer books are gradually closing for all the principal Stocks. Con.ols were shut to-day, and according to a recent razulation of the Committee of the Stock Exchange, tlie quotation for the opening is now made without ineludi ug the dividend due on the 15th of January next. This judicious arrangement prevents the possibility of error on the part of the public at large, uninitiated in the art and mystery of St,,ck Exchange affairs. It rimy be as well to - observe in this place, that there is e‘ery expectaticin of a new loan being required by the Chancellor of the Exchequer next year, and this too for some considerable amount, seeing the great and ex pensive armaments England has been lately compelled to set on foot. A u s a t z a:e ti rt:ent which has appeared in the United Service to havethe effect that several large detachments of troops' India, been ordered to r ns g ra i gives a also nti e i g p o a o t d e prepare for embarkation t o ground for supposing that our G o ,, e at , neces3 ify of maintaining a , la w r g il e l r even u taut d a i i n i gfn h rce in that part of the world, which, although present put to the charge of the Company, aye to be provided for, in a greet measure, out of thenationalthe e revenue of England. The Money Markets in t. t o iy' , a t o : a a l a. culacturing districts are understood to be - improving little. and here there wa s less pressure di the Unfunded Debt did not rally from its previous de pression.

Great Western Railway Shares were marked 21i- to 23, the New 9} to 10, the Fifth 4i- to -a, and the Manchester and Leeds 104 premium. In the Birmingham Shares there were no bargains to-day, not withstanding the severe verdict against the Company. M. BERRYER. The glory of the French bar, the eagle of French Oratory and standard-bearer of the Legitimist party, Pierre Antoine Berryer, was born at Paris on the 4th of January, 1790. His father, who still lives, held before the Revolution a rather high station at the bar. Of a prudent and sagacious nature, M. Berryer, senior, beheld the palladium of our liberties in the demonstra tions of independence made by the Parliaments. Eloquent and able, he could, like so many other lawyers of the time, have declaimed in the Constituante and ..egislative assemblies, or in the Convention—like so many others, also, he might have been beheaded by order of the Comite de Salut Public. He preferred to keep aloof, deploring the ruin of the old privi leges of his order, and bringing up his son in the love of the institutions under which France had grown great for so many centuries. When the worst times of the revolutionary storm had passed M. Berryer, senior, entrusted his son to the oratorians of Juilly. Then, as at the present day, the College of Juilly was dis tinguished for substantial instruction, and, above all, for the care bestowed upon religions education. Young lierryor gave early proof of equal intelligence and idle ness ; he was a middling student, working by fits and starts, of mortifying inferiority in Greek version, but on times superb in amplification or French oratory. On the other hand, the student displayed a piety and fervour at remarkable, that after going through philosophy he wanted to become a priest, and it required every effort to prevent his entering a seminary. This first religious education made on the youth's heart an impression which was never effaced. It has been such that although M. Berryer has spent his life is sifting law-suits by thousands, plunged up to his neck in the materialism of affairs and the dissipation of the world, and enjoying the pleasures of all sorts which it has yielded him, he has ever remained a fervent and con vinced Catholic. M. Berryer had not all those obstacles to over. come which most eminent men have had to encounter at their entry into life. His father, who then had a vast number of clients, saw at a glance that he would go quick and far in the career of the bar, and he WAS not mistaken. Nature had gifted him with all that constitutes the orator—a pure and powerful voice, a fine and expressive countenance, broad lungs, and the passionate organisation of a tribune. After some veers divided between the theoretical study of law and the experimental study of life ; after some months spent in the attorney's office to practice law fencing ; after hav ing, when scarcely twenty-one years old, married against wind and tide a young and handsome person, Mae. Gauthier, of whom he was deeply enamoured, M. Ber rycr made his debuts at the bar in the last years of the Empire, and those debuts were so many triumphs. At about the same period, that is to say in 1814, M. Berryer's political opinions were colourless ; he liked neither war nor despotism, and yet participated, to a certain degree, in the enthusiasm with which Napoleon inspired youth at that period ; his father, besides, war. indebted to the Imperial system for the restoration of his fortune, and he himself, as he said later, " was com mencing his career amidst the noise of arms, and waking to the cries of glory of the Empire, rhea old quarrels were stifled." Nrvertheless, when the first restoration occurred, it found in M. Berryer a devoted Royalist, and from that period the line of the political man, taken in its ensem ble, has not varied. On Napoleon's return from Elba, M. Berrycr, faith ful to his recent convictions, entered the ranks of the Royalist volunteers. After the second fall of Napo icon, convinced " that it was not a King's business to pick up the wounded on a field of battle in order to carry them to the scaffold," he devoted himself to the defence of the victims of the reaction. He took his place by his father find M. Dupin in the trial of Mar shal Ney, pleaded before a Council of War for General Debelle, and, after vainly striving to wrest him from his condemnation, succeeded in obtaining from the King a commutation of the penalty. Some days later, on the 26th April, 1815, he won a complete triumph, the young Royal volunteer sheltered with his eloquence and saved one of the most glorious veterans of the Imperial armies, General Cambronne. In the affair of Generals Caneul and Donnadieu, accused of a plot against the life of the King, M. Berrycr violently attacked the De cazes Cabine►, which he charged with being the insti gator of the Lyons and Grenoble insurrections. A pamphlet he published at that period excited much clamour, and from that moment M. Berryer found him self connected with that class of pure Royalists clus tered about MM. de Chateaubriand, Bonald, Lamen nais, Carbiere, and Villele, and sounding the alarm in the columns of the Conservateur. A.Cter the accession of the Villele Cabinet, Ber ryer soon had to combat his political friends in their tendencies restrictive of the lib,:rties of the press. He assisted with his pen the Journal des Debuts, Dra preau blanc, and Quotidienne. At about the 521130 time, M. Berryer co-operated i❑ the foundation of the _ . Societe des Bonnes Lettres and the Societe des Bonnes Etudes ; for the first time he launched into political questions of the highest order in a series of moral les sons. The audience was a numerous one, the orator met with complete success, and perhaps that fore taste of Parliamentary triumphs added to his inclina tion for political life. Already had M. de Villele, on his accession to office, striven to obtain the services of a young man who held out such bright hopes ; but M. Berryer had felt that he would be a loser if he exchanged for the situation of Procureur-General his independent and profitable station at the bar. He refused, and remained an advocate, taking, ne•aerthe less, a part in the various Ministerial transformations — a part conspicuous enough to impair his personal in terests and check the progress of his fortune. At length, when M. Berryer had attained the age qualify ing him for a seat in the Chamber of Deputies, the Polignac Administration, which bad just been formed, hastened to make every effort towards enlisting him under his banner. To secure beforehand his qualifica tions, M. Berryer had just bought the estate of Anger ville, the acquisition of which had considerably encum bered his fortune. M. Berryer hesitated at first be tween Royal solicitations and the embarrassment of his private affairs, and ended by sacrificing his bright station at the bar and the immense resources which his talents yielded him, to the uncertainty of political life. Proposed as Ministerial candidate at the Electoral College of Puy, M. Berryer was returned by a majo rity, and made his debut in the Chamber of Deputies on the 9th of March, 1830, in the debate upon the memorable address of the two hundred and twenty-one. Placed from that moment at the head of the Ministerial phalanx, M. Berryer might expect, as every body else did, an approaching elevation. He was offered a seat in the Cabinet hut declined it, being unwilling to play a secondary part, and to submit to Prince de Polignac's political notions. Tue revolution of July, IS3O, sud denly dispelled his bright prospects. On this event taking place M. Berrycr hastened to his post, and, so early as the 7:h of August, protested against the powers which the Chamber arrogated, de claring that he did not consider himself as having the right to deliberate upon the vacancy of the Throne and the election of a King. The royalty of July was not the less proclaimed. - Most of the I:et;itimisis deserted the Chambers, and M. Berryer soon found himself almost alone, with an oath to take repugnant to his conscience. He was in great perplexity. On the one hand his political friends, who placed their only hopes in his oratorical powers, endeavoured to keep him to his seat, from considerations of devotedness and honour ; on the other, many friends, interested in his welfare and prospects, urged him not to sacrifice his life to a despe rate cause, but to resume his profitable profession at the bar. Of the two courses M. .Berryer followed the most painful and unprofitable. He took the oath with all reserves, continued a Deputy, and from that moment WAS engaged in the lice of permanent Opposition, from which he has since not departed. On the .sth of October, :831, he and M. Thiers met on the same side for the first time, in support of the maintenance of the peerage heirship. On rising some days after to defend the anniversary of the 21st January, and being led to pay a tribute to the memory of Louis XVI., M. Berryer was interrupted by sonic clamour, when he flung to the Gauche one of those admirable apostrophes which he always has at his command On the day he was condemned, it was permitted to dwell on the virtues of Louis XVI. ; I am not aware that the Convention interrupted the defenders of the King." Whilst M. Berryer thus proceeded as a Fabius cuitctator towards a third restoration, a woman, more impatient, betook herself to the more perilous chance of arms. The Duchess de Berry crossed France, and La Vendee, at her call, recovered some of its old energy. A letter was addressed by her to the L,!gititnists of Paris, iufornaing them of her arrival. To the latter ‘a annexed a l ong note i n cyp h ers , w hose key the v Princess had forgotten to give. M. Berrver's sagacity soon found it. I t was t h e words •`Le Gouvernement should dl himself Paris i s nt i t provisoire, ' su b st i tuted for the twenty-four letters of the alphabet. a t was ria d l ecided t n that t attend Berryeri‘t a meeting at Vannes to attempt to join the Princess, and to make her abandon her projects , M. Be the 22d of May at N antes, and on the same evening er was on pro ceeding through the Bocage. H e at length reached the a little farm and humble room wher e our greatest orator was to oppose his eloquence to a woman of feeble body, but with a heart o f steel. The discussion lasted till morn ing,W hen daylight came she Was exhausted, but not convinced ; and M. Berryer withdrew in affliction, for he forsaw the catastrophe. On reaching Nantes he received a letter, announcing that the insurrectio n was fixed for the night of the 3d June. On that day M. Berryer was proceeding towards Switzerland, when, at TRH SUN, LONDON., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, itietct Angouleme, he was arrested, and conveyed back to Nantes on the charge of conspiring and excitation to civil war. Circumstances were serious ; the stage of siege pro claimed in the western provinces had concentrated the whole authority in military tribunals. Various docu ments, said to be of the utmost importance, had been seized in M. Berryer's dwelling at Paris. In vain had he protested against the Judges imposed on him ; he was to appear on the 4th of July before a Council of War, in a city exasperated against the Vendee insur rection. Such was his predicament when the Court of Cessa tion issued, on the 30th June, the famous decree restor ing citizens to the jurisdiction of Civil Courts. After four months of preventive imprisonment, M. Berryer was acquitted at the Blois Assizes on the 16th October, 1832. It was a complete triumph. M. Berryer reappeared at the Chamber of Deputies in the session of 1833, to support the petitions praying for the release of the Duchess of Berry. At the same time he took his seat at the Court of Assizes, and pleaded for M. de Chateaubriand, displaying on the oc casion the talent and feeling he had displayed in 1826 in behalf of M. de Lamennais. In the follov.ing months he successively defended four Royalist newspapers. Whilst praised from all sides, M. Berryer's private fortune was daily getting more and more impaired, and his estate of Angerville put up for sale. A subscription was opened among the Royalists to enable him to re deem it. Purses were slow in opening, and the amount of the subscriptions is said to have been much inferior to that of the admiration he excited. Nevertheless he retained possession of the estate. Whilst this was pro ceeding, M. Berryer paid his respects to the Royal ex iles at Goritz, where the Duke d'Angoulenae delivered to him a document establishing his right to the title of Louis XIX., until a third restoration exclusively. This brought on a prosecution against M. Berryer, whieb, however, was abandoned. According to all who know M. Berryer, he is a mild, easy, cheerful, and communicative man ; an artist from head to foot, passionately fond of Italian music, an epi• curean from inclination,reckless of the morrow, throwing his money out of window, and amply availing himself of the means which nature has given bim of thriving without study and labour.—Abridged from the Galerie des Coniemporains Illustres. (From the Courier.) The remains of Napoleon have arrived off Cherbourg. The interesting report of the Prince de Jainville respect ing the ceremonies observed at St. Helena, when they were removed, appears in another column. One of the Jowl - ills says that the funeral ceremony will take place on TliursdAy next, but from the extensive nature of the preparations in progress for the occasion, it is not probable that they will be completed by that period. There is some idea that Prince Louis Napoleon and his companions will be liberated when the ceremony is over, by way of giving additional eclat to the solemn occasion. The approach of such an exciting event, aided by the effervescence created by the proceeding in the Chamber, has had the effect of stimulating sorre of the irritable spirits of the capital to a renewal of their virulent and insensate demonttra:ions against England. It will hardly be believed that the silly fureur of the politicians of the " parterre" rose to such a height on Tuesday evening at the Theatre du Palais Royal that they furiously demanded that the " offensive word, England," should be suppressed. It cannot fail to be remarked that a great change has come over the views of the Parisian populace since the last Revolution. The English who assisted in it were lauded to the skies, nothing was talked of but alliance and fraternization, medals were struck to commemorate the indissoluble alliance between the two countries, and vows of eternal friendship were " plentiful as blackb.rries." However it appears Nous evens change tout cela, and even the very name of England is offensive. We shrewdly suspect that the shopk,•iepers of Paris—some of whom derive their chief subsistence from the English—will hardly be of the same opinion as these turbulent brawlers of the Palais Royal. They have never yet given any indications of discovering anything offensive in English money, however objectionable may be the " name of England." V ENING EDIT/OX. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURN ALS. !

THE CASE OP THE EARL OF CARDIGAN AND CAPTAIN DOUGLAS.—It will be recollected that at the last session of the Central Criminal Court, an sPP lics i lion was made to respite the recognizances of the Far and Captain Douglas until next session. This proceedinf was merely formal, as the Central Court has only P ° are to respite the recognizances of partie s who 11 charged upon an indictment with any offence frol _,. one session to another, and not for a longer Peri°. The indictment against Lord Cardigan is still 0 . 1 the files of the Central Criminal Court , although id has no jurisdiction, so far as his Lordship is co ncerned, an the recognizances of both the defendants will be formal', respited, from session to session, until the meeting of par foe liametit, when the course that will be adopted wi ll be s ome Noble Lord to bring the subject before the Hoiniur) Lords, and found a motion upon it, and the Lord Chit ''''' cellor will then order a writ to issue, and a period will fixed for the trial of the Noble Earl. The trial of Cir tain Douglas, who is only charged as an accessory , . o f course, not take place until that of the principal ti tided, when the point of law whether the Act in gnostic's' comes within the meaning of the Act 2 and 3 Victoria, g t ; as to make it felony, will be fully argued.

Si CITY INIP It O VEMENTS.—The City authorities have just pulled down three houses at the corner of Cat eaton-street, opposite Aldermanbury, adding their site to the street. The pavement is just laid down, and what was a short time ago a narrow and dangerous thorough fare, is by this judicious alteration rendered convenient and spacious. ST. JEAN D'ACRE. (From the IV orcester Journal.) The following letter respecting the storming of Acre has been received by a person in this city : " h. M. Ship Edinburgh, Jean d'Acre, November 5, 1840. " Dear Brother,—lt is with pleasure I once more take up my pen to inform you of my safety after another engagement at this place (Saint Jean d'Acre), which I shall relate to you as shortly as pos sible. We arrived here on the 2d, late in the after noon, came to an anchor off the fortress, and early next morning we got under weigh ; our ships—seven line-of battle ships, two frigates. two sloops of war, three brigs, five steamers, all English, under the command of Admiral Stopford ; there were also three Austrian fri gates, and one Turkish line-of-battle ship. The wind falling calm, we could not close on the town before two o'clock, and then the action began as follows : The Castor frigate being ahead of us, the town opened fire upon her, and she let go her anchor, and began to return it. We run past her farther in shore, let go our anchor, brought our broadside to bear on the town, and began to fire. But before this an accident happened which damped our spirits a little. Just as we were rounding to let go the anchor, a shell came through one of our quarter-deck ports, burst, and killed four rhen at once, and wounded seven more ; the four that were killed were shattered all to pieces—two sailors, the marine drumtner, and a marine private. Our sails being got snug, our Captain gave orders for all hands to quarters, and then at it we went until about a quarter after four, the upper deck quarters gave three cheers ; for the powder magazine on shore blew up into the sky, and with it 1,200 Egyptians, which made them slacken their fire, so that we had time to look around us ; and then we saw what we had i given and received ; we then saw some large guns playing upon us, and to it we went again. By five o'clock we had silenced their guns, after an action of three hours; and then we went to supper. Next morning we went on shore, and took charge of the strongest fortress in Egypt. (What will the French say to this ?) The only loss of life we bad was by the bursting of the shell, which I mentioned before. In all the ships I think there are about twelve killed, and Ido not know how many are wounded on board the other ships. I was on shore yesterday, and it is shocking to see the dead and wounded lying in all di rections : no care is taken of the latter. I went up to see the magazine, and the sight was terrible : there were about 200 head of cattle all lying dead, and the mangled bodies of hundreds of Egyptians lying about the place and upon the fortifications ; the guns were crowded with the dead bodies. An Egyptian officers that we have taken - prisoner says, that he had charge of a battery of seven guns, and that he had 200 men in reserve to man them in case of death, and he says that as soon as our ships opened fire his men were killed as soon as they could get to the guns, and in two hours' time from the commencement of our firing they were all killed. ' At one time he had pointed a large gun at our ship, and had ordered one of his men to prime and fire her off ; the man was shot, and then be sent another and another, who were also served in the same manner ; and then the officer himself took the powder-horn, and was in the act of priming the gun himself, when a shot struck the corner of the loophole ; a splinter struck his arm and broke it in two places, and now he is on board of our ship. We have received some damage in our rigging, 1 and we are now busy putting it to rights. A steamer is going to bring the despatches to England of our victory, and as we have received a shot right through our mizen mast we expect to get down to Malta to get a new mast. Time is short, and the letter bag is about to close. :MOSES COMBS." THE NATIONAL SOCIETY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN Sir—l have just received a letter from our Bishop, enclosing the Queen's letter in behalf of the National Society, with strict injunctions to read the ser.ne in my church, and specially to enforce the object of it upon my parishioners. These letters are very properly ac companied by extracts from applications for aid, and by a renewed appeal from the pen of the Secretary of the Society, the Rev. John Sinclair. But here lies my difficulty. In the extracts and the renewed appeal, are the most pointed censures of Char tism ; and to stop the prevalence of Chartism is adduced as a most urgent reason why we should s upport the Na tional Society ! Now so it is, that some of my congre gation are avowed Chartists, and many more of them are so in heart most thoroughly and entirely, only they durst not avow it through fear of their employers ; aye, and I myself am a thorough and openly avowed Chartist, firmly believing that it would he far better that the so called Church of England should be at once swept fro m the face of the earth than that the great principle oi the People's Charter—a pure principle of equal-handed justice, namely, a secured voice and vote to every honest man in the laws by which he is taxed and governed—should be very much longer with held from him. I see the narrow sectarian views of the National Society, and I abhor them ; and, as an honest preacher, I must not conceal them from those whose subscriptions I am to solicit on its behalf. The National Society regards all Dissenters as nonen tities, or as things far worse—things to he guarded against ! Its prejudices are absolutely ridiculous and fu ! tile. Only mark and contrast with itself, as it is well known to you, the substance of one of its extracts from appli cations, &c. It is for a population of 23,000. It so licits aid for church schools for only 350 children. This is moderate and well ; and heartily do I hope it will be well responded to. Next, it comes out that 500 children are already educated by Dissenters on that very spot which we find to have been so neglected by the Church ; and yet we are to put down, if possible, at any cost to ourselves, all those who have already so outstripped us in the Christian race ! I think I know my duty, Mr. Editor, as the way of duty is usually a very plain path, though sometimes a thorny and a dangerous one, as to this world. I shall inevitably set the landlords of my parish against me, and also their companions, the Archdeacons and the Rural Dean. But I will seek to act as in the fear of God. I will warn my congregation of the narrow sectarian spirit of the National Society which I am commanded to uphold. I will lay open and enforce what appears to me to really good in the Society, and will thus leave the sub ject upon their consideration and conscience, giving all the opportunity to subscribe as every one may be disposed in his heart ; thus, I think, so far, though compelled to advocate the Society, I shall escape th e iniquity of advocating it basely in a spirit of sectarian bigotry, and shall at the same time comply with all that my Ec clesiastical commanders cats ehristianiy demand of nie. Whenever such commanders demand more, we, the subalterns, of course, must christianly disobey, and submit to consequences. Ten years ago 1 suffered a year's imprisonment for writing, on the part of the poor oppressed workmen, against those whom I deemed their oppressors ; and, although no punishment is joyous of itself, I am ready to suffer again, if needful, for civil and religious liberty. Admiring your efforts for both, I remain your's, truly, NO SECTARIAN, THOUGH A CHURCH MINISTER.
