Instituted at Edinburgh, I GOVERNOR, The Most Noble the Marquis of Lothian. DEPUTY-GO% ERNOR, Henry Cockburn, Esq., Solicitor-General of Scotland. Sutherland Mackenzie, Esq., Manager. THIS INCORPORATION is composed of a numerous, wealthy, and influential body of Proprietors, and affords unquestionable security to the public from the magnitude of its capital—a large proportion of which is invested in Govern ment or real securities. By conducting its operations on an extensive scale, it is enabled to equalise those vicissitudes which may arise from the influence of local causes; and, from the success which has hitherto attended this National Establish ment, it is now permanently placed on a secure basis. A small annual contribution will secure property, real or personal, from loss or damage by FIRE; and, by the same means, all those calamitous consequences may be obviated which so frequently arise from the uncertainty of human LIFE, and the many acci dents to which it is daily exposed. FIRE. DEPARTMENT. Property, real and perional, of every description, may be in sured on the most advantageous terms; common insurances of the first class at the reduced rates, and property involving more than ordinary hazard, at rates of premium commensurate with the value of the risks. ALL LOSSES, when satisfactorily ascertained, are IMME DIATELY PAID; and the Directors of this Incorporation can with confidence refer to the liberality and promptitude whi eh has hitherto ma=k.a sir settlement of all .laiwa the company. LIFE DEPARTMENT. A variety of Tables of Rates have been computed to accom modate those classes of the community who may be desirous of participating in the profits of the Incorporation, and a reduced scale has been prepared for those who may wish to secure a specific sum in case of premature decease. PARTICIPATION OF PROFITS. TWO-THIRDS of the profits are allotted at regular periods to the insured, WITHOUT BEING SUBJECT' TO ANY DEDUCTION FOR CHARGES OF MANAGEMENT. The first division will be made on the Ist January, 1812. The remaining one-third will be reserved by the Incorporation as a compensation for undertaking the whole expense of manage ment, and for the security afforded by their capital against all possible contingencies. The profit will he divided on the most equitable principles, in the proportion that each surviving person has contributed to the profit Fund. A reversionary sum, equivalent to the present bonus, will be added to the original sum insured; or, a corresponding reduc tion will be made from the future annual premiums. The general accounts of the Incorporation are patent to the insured, but the individual transaction? themselves are held as strictly private and confidential. REDUCED RATES. NO PROFITS. To facilitate Loan transactions, a reduced scale of rates has been adopted, which will be found particularly favourable to the insured, especially for young- and middled-aged p ersons . SPECIAL RISKS. Moderate rates are 71emanCiecifor Insurance against the con tingencies of foreign climates, military or naval service, and voyages to distant countries ; also for healthy persons above the age of 60, and for persons of all ages, afflicted with gout, asthma, rupture, or other serious maladies. Each Policy . issued by the Company, makes it imperative on the Directors in the event of doubts or difficulties arising, to submit all such disputes or questions to arbitration ; while, for the convenience of persons resident in England or Ireland, it ' -• ' for the Insured to sue the Corporation if ne nroper writ upon the Company's agent vice was effected. :particularly the various advantages to the public, with Tables of the . 1 , Insurance, may be obtained by appkying top ir. .-- • 'A E.

In the Life Department of this long-established Office, the Premiums for short Periods are lower than in most others, and for the whole of Life at very equitable rates. In this last, the Assured participate in Profits, without the least risk of being liable to make good Losses, as may be the case in Mutual In surance Companies, possessing little or no capital ; whereas the Union has ample Funds invested in Government Securities to meet every demand; and, as a large septennial Bonus (as is expected) will be declared in 1831, the Directors confidently anticipate that the public will perceive it to be their interest to insure (and also to benefit from the Bonus in 1834) in a Com pany combining solid security with handsome Profits.

If au example were, however, requisite, it would be sumcieut to quote tio r.oaat appropria tion of profits, amounting to nearly Two Millions sPerling, by an Office established little more than twenty-five ears, whose original called up Capital was only £lOO,OOO, t Directors do not therefore contemplate calling up more th £2 per Share, which will form an ample fund for condu in the business. In order to make this Establishment a enerally beneficial throughout the United Kingdom as po • le, the Directors have divided the Stock into very small Shares, so as to suit the convenience of persons in every situation of life; and as it pro poses to embody in its regulations all that has been advanta geous to other Societies, and to offer to the public a revised scale of premiums more generally suited to the interest of the Proprietors and the Assured, it is presumed there cannot be found a better investment of Capital than in the purchase of Stock in this Company. It is intended, from the commencement of business, to pay the Proprietors interest, at the rate of four per cent. per annum, on their deposits half-yearly; and, as an inducement for them to bring Insurances to the office, a higher rate of interest will be allowed to those who do so; but the Directors feel assured that, independent of this consideration, each Proprietor will exert his influence to augment the business of the Company, which will ultimately tend to enhance the value of his own Stock by increasing the amount of the dividends from time to time. For the convenience of parties residing in the country, they may receive their half-yearly dividends from the Bankers nearest to their residence, by merely advising the Secretary of the name of such Banker's London correspondent, and autho rising him to sign the requisite receipt. The profits of the Company are to be divided periodically, at intervals of not less than five years, and not exceeding seven years: two-thirds to belong to the Assured and one-third to the Proprietors. It is intended by the Directors to apply for an Act of Par liament constituting the Company; but, in the mean time, all Shares subscribed for are to lie subject to such rules and regu lations as the present or future Directors may deem prudent for the good of the Company, and the Diiectors shall have the power of commencing business on the Ist of January, 1834, or whenever they may deem it expedient. The affairs of the Company are to be conducted by a Board of Direction, consisting of at least twelve, and not exceeding sixteen Directors, a Resident Director, and a Secretary, who shall remain in office until the first division of profits, when four Directors of'the active Board shall retire by lot, but be eligible to be re-elected ; and annually thereafter the same number of Directors shall retire, until all the first Directors shall have so retired, and afterwards four Directors shall re tire by seniority, Any vacancy in the Direction occurring by death or resignation previously to the first division of profits, the same shall be filled up by the Board of Directors, and the new Director so chosen shall remain in office according to the seniority held by his predecessor. The Managing Director and Secretary to remain in office as long after the first division of profits as they give satisfaction to the Directors, who are to have the power of appointment to these offices when a vacancy occurs. The present Directors shall name three Auditors, who shall investigate quarterly, and report annually to the Proprietors the state of the Company's affairs, when one of the Auditors shall retire, but be eligible to be re-elected. The power of re-electing shall be in the Shareholders who have held shares at least twelve months previously, viz. 10 Shares to be entitled to One vote. 20 ditto ditto Two votes. 50 ditto ditto Three votes -100 ditto ditto Four votes. The qualification of a Director and Auditor shall be the possession of not less than fiftz shares, held for twelve months previous to election, after the Company shall have been twelve months established.

The Triune, of 201 tons, with a crew of eight men, and the Triton, of 186 tons, with 11 men, both laden with coals, left Newcastle about eight or nine o'clock in the evening of the 12th of February. About 18 miles Seaham, at o'clock next morning, the wind being S. and by E., the vessels sailing on different tacks, the Triton on the starboard, the Triune on the larboard, the vessels came in collision, and the Triton sunk. The ques tion as to which side the fault should be imputed is involved in much perplexity, the crews of the respective vessels differing . on material points. It is admitted that, according . to maritime custom, a ship on the larboard tack is bound to give way to a ship on the starboard tack, but the mode of giving way must, of course,_ depend upon circumstances at the moment. On the part of the Triton, the sunken ship, it is alleged that it was the duty of the larboard vessel to give way, by taking the most effectual mode of preventing the collision, and not to stand on general rules; that if the Triune had luffed up when the Triton was first seen, the collision might have been avoided; that the Triton was induced to alter her course by the vacillating conduct of the Triune, the helm of which was first put-a-lee, and then a . weather, and that therefore the loss of the vessel was caused by the mismanagement of the crew of the Triune. On the part of the Triune, reliance is placed upon the rule and custom in these cases, and it is alleged and deposed to that the Triton called out to put the helm a-weather (which is one of the disputed points,) that the helm was put a-weather, and continued so ; conse quently the cAlarnity which befell the Triton was caused by the mismanagement of its own crew. • The case was merely opened, and the evidence read. The court is assisted by Trinity Masters. Owing to the indisposition of Sir John Nicholl, Dr. Burnaby presided as locum. renew. Ergat Xotirt. NOTICE is hereby given, that on the fifth day of December instant, an order was signed by JOSHUA THOMAS HoR TON CLERK, and JOHN FORMRY, Esq., two of His Majesty's Justices of the Peace, in and for the county . of , Lancaster, for stopping up a certain Public Foot Way, passe along the top of a certain field, in Ormskirk, in the said con y, called Saddler's Field, and lying between a certain high ay leading from the township of Scarisbrick, in the said ounty, to the town of Ormskirk, in the said county ; and ace ain other Footway on the north-west side of a field there, ca the Church Field, being of the length of one hundred and f r yards, and of the breadth of one yard upon a medium (which said first-mentioned Foot way the said Justices upon a view found to be unnecessary) ; ana that the said order will be lodged with the Clerk of the Peace for the said county, at the general Quarter Sessions of the peace, to be holden by adjournment at Kirkdare, in and for the said county, on the twentieth day of January next ; and also that the said order will at the said Sessions be confirmed and enrolled, unless upon an appeal against the same, to be then made if it be otherwise determined. Ormskirk, 7th Dec, 183.3. It is announced, in the circles of the court, that it is not the intention of the Sovereign to bestow the blue ribbon worn by the late Duke of Sutherland on any other peer. The number of Knights of the Order of the Garter is limited by the statute to twenty-five, exclusive of the Princes of the blood royal. His Majesty, in the spring of 1831, exercised his prerogative of creating Earl Grey an extra Knight of the noble Order of St. George, thus making the number six-and-twenty. By the Duke of Sutherland's death, the Premier naturally succeeds to the vacant banner, and becomes the Junior Knight next to the Duke of Bedford. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. KINGSTON, ,FRID A Y, DEC. 20. Benjamin Bedwell, aged 57, master mariner, was placed at the bar, charged with the wilful murder of Elizabeth Bedwell, his wife. Mr. Jemmett conducted the prosecution; Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Dowling defended the prisoner. The circumstances that gave rise to the present indictment occurred so recently, and all the details were laid so fully before the public, that it will be necessary to give only a brief outline of the evidence as it appeared at the trial. The prisoner and his wife resided at N 0.7, Southwark-square, Borough, and a medical student, named Plummer, lodged in the house. On the morning of November 19, the deceased went into Mr. Plummer's-room, and begged him to make an alarm at the window. She had scarcely finished the words, when the prisoner rushed iu after her, and, addressing Mr. Plummer, said that he would not be insultectin his own house, and desired him to leave it immediately. He then seized his wife and pulled her down stairs. She ran into the area, followed by the prisoner, who at last succeeded in placing her in a chair by the area door. Mary Anne Barnes, the servant, was a witness to what took place, and, upon her crying and endeavouring to givethe alarm, the prisoner pushed her into the back kitchen, and desired her to be off out of the house, and not to stop there making a noise. After she had been there a short time, she heard her mistress, the deceased, say, " Oh, lam stabbed—l am stabbed !" She immediately went into the front kitchen, and observed the pri soner standing by the area-door, and the deceased lying on the floor near him, and blood flowing from her side. The prisoner had nothing in his hand, but a table knife was lying on the table, smeared with blood from the point to the handle. she screamed out "Murder !" and a person of the name of Leech jumped over the rails into the area. He, seeing that the prisoner looked wild, and was in a state of great excitement, armed himself with a stick, and went to the deceased's assistance. She drew up her gown and petticoat, and pointing to her clothes, which were saturated with blood, said, " I cannot get up, he has stabbed me in my side." Upon Leech asking him why he had done so, he replied, "It is done—the wretches have made me do it." He spoke to him upon the cruelty of his conduct, and that he would, probably, he hanged ; upon which he said, in a hurried tone— " Hanged—hanged—take me to be hanged; I'll go this minute— the wretches knew it !" and pointed to a Mrs. Harpley, a neigh bour, and said " That is one of the wretches." In the mean time Mr. Plummer had gone for assistance, others of the neigh bourhood came up, and a policeman was sem. for. The deceased was taken into the house of a friend residing in the square, and a surgeon attended her, but she died in five or six days, in con sequence of the wound she had received. The prisoner was formerly the master and part owner of a vessel trading to Con stantinople, but, in consequence of his rash eccentric conduct, the other owners had refused to allow him to go in command.— The last voya,ge he took was about fourteen months since. For some time he had been in a low depressed state, would frequently get up in the middle of the night, and go away for two or three days without stating where he was going to ; at other times he would walk up and down the room, biting the flesh off his fingers, and exclaiming " Oh, what shall I do." His friends had fre quently told the deceased that he would do her some injury, and advised her to have him taken care of, but she was exceedingly fond of him, and refused to be separated. Her manner was always mild and affectionate, and he was generally so, but sometimes he would not take the slightest notice of her. He had the greatest dread of being poisoned, and always had his beer mixed with deceased's, between whom and Mr. Plummer (he 21, and she 63 years of age) he fancied something wrong had taken place, an (fin consequence he went up into the former's room, and desired him immediately to leave the house. At that time he had only lodged there a few days. Prior to her death the deceased frequently expressed a wish that her husband might not be hurt, for he was still dear to her, and she was sure he would not have done it had be been in his proper senses; and a few minutes before she died, on being told that he was taken care of, she clasped her hands together and said "Thank God," and expired. The prisoner and his wife had been married 28 years, and had a grown-up family. They always lived happily together, and appeareq much attached. the witnesses con curred in opinion that he prisoner for the last 18 months had been decidedly deranged and strange for the last eight years. Mr. Justice Gaselee stopped the case, observing that it was clear the prisoner at the time of committing the act with which he was charged was of unsound mind. His lordship then ad verewi to the act of Puliameut which provides for persons ac quitted for capital offence, on the ground of insanity, and directed them to find a verdict of not guilty, intimating that the prisoner would be taken care of..—.4equitted, but still detained. LONDON POLICE REPORT. MANSION-HOUSE, FRIDAY. The parish officers of St. Swithin,' London-stone, appeared some days ago for a warrant against a young man, named John Stansfield, one of the waiters at the celebrated eighteen-penny dinner house, for having deserted his wife, and Merilies, the constable of the parish, went to Dover to execute it. The par ticulars of the case were curious and comic. Stansfield was in the habit of picking up a good many two pences, and dashed away in his moments of leisure in the midst of the fashionable movements. On the 21st of February, in the present year, he married Margaret, the present complainant, and got tired of her in a few months. He then proposed a sus pension of conjugal rights, and offered his wife a separate main tenance, at the rate of 10s. a-week, which she accepted, for the sake of her health.as well as other comforts. The separation, however, in this inStance, was effected on the part of the de fendant as a means of accomplishing a more agreeable connex ion with another, ancl a second Mrs. Stansfield made her ap pearance. A hubbub aturally arose out of the detection, and the defendant thought e best course he could pursue was to cut and run. He accordingly decamped, bag and baggage, and arrived at an inn at Dover, where he ordered the waiters about " like a real gentleman," and strutted in a furred great coat and a gold watch, with the chain festooned from his neck into his waistcoat pocket. He was not long in Dover when he wrote the following affectionate epistle to his new enamorata : " Deerest Wife,—l write to you wonce more hopping that I shal not have to rite no more til I have the pleasurable oppor tunity of imbrasing you in my harms, I hopes cincerely from my hart that you will Corn with the bayror of thiss note for I am comfortable settled with regard of some things and I ham out of all the trubbles that I was hin when I left you and I hope that I for ever shall remain. My Deer thiss gentleman is the gard of a coach and if you will corn with him, he will bring you safe to me : pleas be so kind as to corn with him, for without you there is no happiness in this life for me, so I remain your obe jant and kind husband till death. 4, J .S. `• If you have no blunt, I'll pay coachman when he brings you down with him, but I do hopu yo'll coin down whether or not." This letter was brought to town by the guard of one of the coaches, and delivered to the lady to whom it was addressed; but the complainant, who had been watching her rival's move ments, managed to get posqession of it, and immediately handed it to the parish officers, who, conjecturing that the 10s. a-week. would be discontinued, toak the necessary measures to secure the body of the deserter. Merilles stated that he saw the woman whom he believed to be the second wife of the defendant get upon the Dover coach, under the protection of the guard, and that he travelled on the same vehicle.. A good deal of caution was used by the guard and the lady, upon the arrival of the coach at Dover, but wit• ness followed them up close, . and, after several twistings and turnings, he had at last the satisfaction to see the wished-for meeting. " Oh, Nancy darling !" said the defendant. " Oh, my Jack !" cried the lady. " Beg pardon," said witness, "but I've got a warrant to bring you to London, to support your other wife, Mr. Stansfield." This intelligence was received in a valiant manner. "I am able to support them both well," said the defendant, "and I shall give bail;" so off they came to town. Mr. Hobler, jun., appeared for the defendant, and said that his client was not married to the lady who went to visit him at Dover, and that he could be charged with no legal offence, for he had paid his wife up to last Saturday night, and had no idea of leaving her to the parish.—The defendant was then remanded. A JUVENILE IMPOSTOR.—The public ought to be upon their guard against a practised young swindler, who is now layin,g the humane and credulous under contributions, by the feigned simplicity and artlessness with which she tells a pathetic and plausible tale. She is remembered by many persons, who have reasons for so doing, as long ago as twelve months, and she has recently been repeating her depredations in the neighbour hood of Aigburth, where several highly respectable families have been imposed upon by her ingenuity and consummate de ception. She presents a note of recommendation, purporting to be signed by the lady of an official gentleman in this town, but which, as there is an error in the orthography, is most likely a fraud; and by means of this she obtains an introduc tion for the purpose of amusing children by playing ou the piano and speaking French, and which, in order, we suppose, that no part of hei performance should compromise the charac ter of the whole, she does, as it is sometimes said, " with a vengeance." But in the tact of her demeanour and conversa tion, the readiness of her replies, and the quickness of her ob servation, she is represented to be a complete adept ; she states herself to be eight years of age, but her appearance indi cates at least two years more; she is a neat Scotch lassie, with a genuine Scotch name, Margaret M'Donald, a broad Scotch accent, and professes great enthusiasm for her native bills; at one house, where her scheme was successful, after being well treated in the kitchen, where, it must be confessed, she least justi fied her own account of her age, she was presented, amongst oL: er articles of apparel, with a pair of plaid trousers, upon seeing wh she exclaimed with gFeatdelight, " Ah, tartan !" and kissed t' with as much affection as if they had been worn by Prince Charles. Her father, she said, had been a serjeant in the 42d Highlanders, and, having undergone the sentence of 150 lashes for spending the recruiting money, had died in consequence : until that happen e d, s h e had been brought up and educated by the colonel's lady ; and this was a part of her story which had some confirmation in her appearance and address. She had on a very elegant satin frock, which she said had belonged to the colonel's lady. Her object, she states, is to obtain a little money and some clothes, that she and her mother may return to Glasgow ; but, as most of her country people find their way here much more easily than they find it back, she and her mother have been going to Glasgow for the last twelve or fif teen months. At another house she pretended to have been directed there by a friend of the family, whose name had suffi cient influence to gain her half-a crown. 'We trust the good people of Liverpool, as well as Aigburth, will in future have caution enough with their charity to be no more imposed upon by this precocious marauder, and that the police will take especial care that neither of the parties are neglected. AMERICAN PAPERS: TAnIF F.—A circular letter had been addressed to officers of the Customs, from the Treasury department, detailing many arrangements to be carried into effect under the last Tariff law. By those instructions the collectors of the Customs will require invoices of brandy, gin, rum, wine, sugar, molasses, iron, and all other articles charged with specific duties, to be sworn to at the port of shipment, and accompanied by consular certifi cates, in the same manner as dry goods or other articles charged with ad valorem duties. For want of these documents such goods will be sent to the Custom-house stores for appraisement, and the consignees will be required to give bonds, with penal es, to produce them within a given time. WASHINGTON, November 23.—The city is filling up with members of Congress, who are thus early on the ground for the purpOse of securing good seats in the house, and making ar rangements for the election of Speaker. The candidates named for this elevated station at. a Mr. Stevensoa, of Virginia, Mr. Wayne, of Georgia, Colotlel Johnson, of Kentucky, Mr. Su therland, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Polk, of Tennessee. It is said that Mr. Stevenson is to receive the appointment of mi nister to England, otherwise he would be elected with little or no opposition, or he may be elected and resign after a month or two. if Mr. Stevenson is not a candidate, Mr. Wayne will proba bly be the Administration candidate, and, of course, the suc cessful one. The house will consist of about 240 members, being about thirty morn than the last Congress, owing to the new census. There will. be a large majority of Jackson men in the house and a maj , arity against the Administration in the Senate, including the nullifiers. There is no doubt but a committee will be appointed early in the session to investigate thoroughly the affairs of the United States bank and the removal of Mr. Duane, The latter sub ject will not probably be discussed in the Senate until the no mination of Mr. Taney comes before that body. The troops at Fortress Monroe were ordered a few days since to embark immediately for Alabama, and two ships were char tered to take them thithrmr. It is reported that this order has been suspended, or, rather, that the sailing of the troops has been delayed, which, it is hoped, may prove true, as there ap pears to be no occasion at this time for the display of a military force in Alabama, particularly when the district attorney has been dispatched on a pacific mission to the Governor of Ala i bama. STEAM-BOAT DISASTER.—LOSS OF LIVES.-By yesterday's mail we are put in posse:ision of the following awful disaster, by steam. It appears 13,tv the Cincinnati Daily Advertiser, that nine persons were buriea at the mbuth of the Ohio, and that about twenty were left at Smithiand Hospital. The paper also states, that the boat had arrived at Louisville, and that from thirty-five to forty persons were killed or injured.—From the Louisville Herald of the 15th instant. ANOTHER STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT.—We learn from Capt. Boggs, of the Free Trader, from Florence, that the steam-boat Illinois, Capt. Bell, on her way front St. Louis to this place, has met with one of those fatal accidents so common to our steam-boats. Oue of hea. boilers collapsed, and an explosion took place, by which twenty-eight persons were scalded, of which number thirteen were scalded to death and lost overboard. The accident took place in the Mississipi, about five miles above the mouth of the Ohio. THE CHURCH AND THE DISSENTERS. The following letters contain so much good sense that we have taken the liberty to transfer them to our columns, and we earnestly= beg the reader to favour them with an attentive 'perusal. The first is from the Manchester Courier, and the other two from the London Times : "TO MR. HADFIELD. " SIR,--I am sorry to find you making yourself exceedingly officious through the medium of the public press, against our national establishment. You, as a dissenter, in conjunction with many of your brethren, discover a mean and intolerant disposition. before you presume again to take up your pen to censure that church to which Britons, and especially British Christians, by whatever name they are called, owe so much, look at home, to your own heart, and that section of the church of Christ of which you profess yourself to be a sincere and true mem b e r. Strive to approve yourself to God, then to reform the evils existing in the little society to which you belong, before you attempt to reform, with your puny efforts, a national church. You seem to be spurred on by -an almost unbounded desire of popular applause; wishing to be thought somebody by the world at large, as you believe yourself to be not half a mile from York-street, You must not forget how you were con fronted to your face at the Collegiate Church some months ago, by Mr. Fletcher, when you were setting up your voice as fhe voice of dissenters. You have not as yet arrived at sufficient celebrity to set up yourself as the oracle of dissenters universally. There are, even among dissenters, some few who are zealous and warm friends of our national church, viewing it in its go neral interests, and its influence upon society—though for the most part the spirit of dissenters is a spirit of the greatest into lerance. Among the aggregate body of dissenters and dissent ing ministers, too, Independents, Baptists, and Socinians, bigotry of the lowest character reigns. 1 hey cannot speak well of our national establishment in any of its branches, liturgy, ministers, or members, though it has been a blessing to our own beloved country, and to other countries for ages—a church which had martyrs for its founders, and within whose venerable pale some of the most heavenly-minded, devout, and learned ministers and members have lived and died; men who, in an eminent degree, were possessed of a spirit of piety, of love to God and man; and who esteemed it to be their duty and privi lege to yield obedience to the laws that be. But when we are assured from observation and experience that dissenters cannot speak well of their brethren who differ with them in some minor points of doctrine or discipline, we are not surprised that they should manifest the same evil disposition of backbiting and slander towards our national church. Here let me ask, what do you mean by dissenters demanding their rights ?' They have liberty of conscience, and can worship God when, where, and how they please ; and as Doctor Ire land, in a sermon on the claims of the establishment,' eloquently remarks, addressing himself to dissenters, ' You experience that toleration which paganism would not grant, and for which the primitive Christians would have return ed their heartfelt thanks and praises to heaven. 'While, there fore, you enjoy the privilege of conscience, learn to respect the rights of that government under which Providence has placed you ; but know that to demand a share of political power from the hands of the sovereign, whose prerogative you continue to deny; to irritate a government which would rather leave vou to repose ; and then to upbraid it with persecution, is neither po litical loyalty nor Christian obedience.' fo me it appears you make yourself officious, and wiite in such high-toned and swell ing language, as dissenters demanding their rights, because our modern Radicals seem to act upon that principle—most of whom have not the fear of God before their eyes, therefore not of man nor of the 'powersthat be;' but whose whole soul seems to be set in them to do mischief and to propagate insubordination.— Rather, sir, study to please your Maker, than to make yourself busy hi interfering with politics in such a manner as would pro duce anarchy and confusion. Do you and your fraternity take heed how you put your unhallowed hands to our church esta blishment, lest you have cause, hereafter, to repent. Where there are pious and talented ministers in the establishment, the churches are well filled, and, in some instances, crowded; and if churches universally were supplied with such devoted and Christian ministers as occupy tile pulpits in some of them, we should heal very little about separation of church and state, &c., and I am convinced there would be comparatively few dis senters. With respect to the union of church and state, I am decidedly of opinion that it is absolutely necessary to the main tenance of social and civil order, and the support and promotion of religious liberty. If the Church of England were not the state religion, there should be another substituted in its place ; but looking round amongst dissenters of all denominations, it appears to me that the excellency and orthodoxy of its liturgy, homilies, and articles, and the loyalty,. toleration, liberality, learning, and increasing piety of its ministers and members, give it a claim tb preference. I revere and highly esteem the church establishment, with all its faults. " I remain, Si:, your's respectfully, " A DISSENTING MINISTER.* "Manchester, December 10th, 1833. • The name and residence of the author of this letter have been communicated to us.—ED. COURIER. " 64 40 THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. " Sir,—Observing in your paper a discussion upon the Dis senters' cause, I wish to correct your statements upon this sub ject. It appears somehow or other to be taken for granted that the Dissenters, one and all, are for the measures put forth by a certain class of Dissenters. I speak the sentiments of our body, and I indulge the gratification which I think has not been de nied, that we are the most numerous class of Dissenters both here and in Amerka. However much we may wish for changes for the benefit of-religion, we disclaim the idea of encroaching upon the national establishment. I, for my part, am too well versed in days of yore ever to expect a church more tolerant than the establishment, and while I can worship God in my way, under my own vine, and under my own 'fig tree, none daring to make me afraid,' I think it not too much in return to abide - by the majority, particularly as I know both in parlia ment and in tha,world this is the only practicable way to secure peace. I could +mention some denominations under whom I should lie afraid to venture my protection, if they were the dominant party. Alien there must be, and I think that coun try happy where the lamb can lay beside him. It is absurd to suppose that there should not be a ruling power—one which - embraces the opinions of the majority, whatever those be. But I fear, Sir, from the tone of some of the Dissenters, that they have left the.old school of their forefathers, and are become too political. I fjr, if some of them were to get an the top of the tree, many of tis would have to repent it. I know, also, many Baptists who disclaim connexion with those who urge exorbi tant demands, and I repeat, for the sake of my brethren, that we are decidedly averse to that attack which some of the Dis senters are meditating against the establishment.—l am, with respect, yours, &c., " A MINISTER OF THE WESLEYAN " City, Dec. 19." METHODISTS. " TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. " SIR,—At a time when so much clamour is raised against the Established Church, and that not merely as to its ceremo nies and form of . government, but in regard to its connexion with the state, I s=enture to suggest that much good might be done by reprinting (perhaps in an abridged form) Warbur ton's Alliance between Church and State. " It appears to me that the enemies of the establishment, whether designedly or not, altogether mistake the real ques tion at issue. They seem to forget that the people of England, in erecting their national church, acted in a civil capacity no less than in a religious. Their character of churchmen, or episcopalians, did not necessarily put aside , or throw overboard, their character of citizens. They considered a public establish ment of religion as a matter deeply implicating the welfare of the state; and in that belief they were backed by precedents from all ages and from every clime. Entertaining such an opinion, what more natural than that the form under which this establishment was to exist should be episcopalian, for none other was known in the universal church ? 'these two points settled, the mode in which such an establishment should be supported, so far as pecuniary means were concerned, was a matter of easy arrangement, for a church revenue already • existed, derived in great measure from the private bounty of pious individuals. '1 hese and many other points, both as to doctrine and .ceremonies, were arrangements which naturally flowed from .that one grand principle on which all religious establishments' in free countries rest—viz., a rational con viction.that the alliance between church and state is a matter of great advdr4tage to the commonwealth. This is a grand truth, and upon, it the Church of England ultimately rests. Until the majority of the nation shall e convinced that they have all along bd\en rnistaken on this fundamental point, the ravings of the optortents of the church, whether infidels or dissenters, their d .lainations on the iniquity of the unholy alliance,' will be only so much sound and fury, signifying nothing.' .

TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 24, 1831 We have received by the John Jay packet-ship, C a ll. taro GLOVER, which arrived on Saturday night, files!, American papers to the 25th Nov.; and by the Bo" America packet-ship, Captain MACEY, whi c h arrived r es terday, accounts to the Ist instant f rom New Yea, and from New Orleans to the 16th Nov. The intelligence which they bring is of little importance generally. i n le t meeting of Congress is fixed for the 2d of the pres en month, and many subjects of interest were likely to oc cupy their attention. The settlement of the Alabenl a question—the appointment of the new Secretary a the Treasury—the removal of the government deposits the United States' Bank—and many other questions oil f which the public attention is fixed, promise a sessi°l2 some agitation. Whether the nullifiers of the states will again take the field, will depend in a g reft measure on the turn that affairs t a k e w ith reference ~, the points standing for discussion in which these state s take a peculiar interest. The boon granted as a pac ifier to them during the last Congress, was of little ; mewl as applicable to those commodities in the tariff upon the duties bore heavily on the inhabitants.
