BREAD -STREET WARD, LONDON. At a MEETING of the INHABITANTS of the WARD of BREAD-STREET, held s t Gerard's Hall, Ba sing -Lane, within the said Ward, on Wednesday, the 12th February, 1840, at One o'clock in the Afternoon precisely, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of peti tioning the Legislature for an alteration in the CORN-LAWS, Pursuant to a Requisition, most numerously and respectably signed, JOHN LAINSON, Esq., Alderman of the said Ward, in the Chair, It was resolved unanimously,— . - " That the Corn-law Bill in its operation has signally failed. Instead of insuring plenty, cheapness, and steadiness of price, its effect has been the opposite. It has caused scarcity, dear ness, and uncertainty ; for, by confining the Consumer of Corn solely to the produce of his own country, he is excluded in sea- Bons of scarcity from that benevolent provision of Providence triade for equalizing to man the beneficial effects of the varia tion of climates and of seasons." " That of all restrictions on commerce, that which checks the free current of national industry is most injurious in its anise- Silences, and lasting in its effects ; and in no manner has the Industry of this nation been more impeded than by compelling the Mechanic, the Artisan, the Labourer, and the Trader, to purchase Corn at a higher price at home, than it might have eon procured for from abroad." It was resolved— " That for a great period of the time during which the pre sent Corn-laws have been in existence, the growers of Corn have been more vehement in their complaints of distress and ruin than any other class of the community ; and this meeting is firmly convinced, by the experience of the pact, that the ad vantage of the growers, interwoven as it is with that of all en±aged in Trade, Manufacture, and Commerce, can be secured olly by a fixed, well defined, and moderate rate of duty upon Foreign Corn." It was resolved unanimously— " That petitions founded on these resolutions - be presented to both Houses of Parliament, praying them to take into consi deration the present state of the Corn-laws, with a view to such amelioration as to them may appear must desirable ; and that Sir Matthew Wood, Bart., be requested to present the petition to the House of Commons, end that our fellow citizens baying seats in Parliament, be earnestly requested to support the same." " That the thanks of this Meeting are due, and are hereby PreTnted to John Lainson, Esq., Alderman, for his ready coin plia.nce with the wishes of the ihabitants of this Ward in call ing this Meeting, and for his impartial conduct in the Chair." " That the foregoing resolutions he inserted in the Times, Morning Chronicle, Morning Advertiser, and Sun newspapers, signed by the Ward Clerk."

HOLBORN INIPROVEM ENTS.-At a Meet:ng of the Friends and Promoters of this ender teking, held pursuant to public advertisement, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, on Saturday, the Bth of February, 1840, to receive a Report of the measures which have been taken to effect this important object, and to adopt Resolutions thereon ; Alderman Sir PETER LAURIE, in the Chair, Re . ad thecreport of the Directors, and also proposed prospectus and regulations of the Company established to carry out the contemplated measures, with reference made to the proeeed ings.produced of the provisional committee of management ; - and the Chairman having briefly stated that object of the meeting, The following resolutions (having been duly moved and se conded) were passed unanimously:- 1. Thut the Report of the Directors, acting as the Provi sional Committee of Management, bs received and adopted. 2. That this Meeting having attentively weighed the great advantages which are expected to accrue to the public by the formation of a new and level street, extending frost Holborn hill to the Old Bailey, by means of a viaduct over Farringdon street, so as to avoid the dangerous and inconvenientdeclivities of Holborn-hill and Skinner-street, consider that every possible facility and encouragement ought to be given to the Company now formed to carry that truly desirable pan into effect, the more especially as it does not appear to be included in the im provements now contemplated by the Ci'y Corporation 3. That this Meeting having before it the plans, sections, esti mates, and reports of the several engineers, surveyors, and archi tects who have been employed to survey the proposes! new line of street, with their respective opinions on the practicability and expediency of the measure, under the immediate superin tendence and direction of ir John Rernie, feels no hesitation in recommending its adoption to public notice and sapport, it appearing to the satisfaction of the Meeting that it being by much the shortest distance between the termini, and the in tended new street a perfect levtl, it will, and at a moderate ex pense, effectually remedythe evil so long and justlycomplained of. 4. That this Meeting is of opinion if such a new street be constructed it will greatly improve the trade of the city in general, but more especially in that particular district W;sere the alterations are proposed to be made ; that for the same reason it will enhance the value of all property in that neighbourhood, and, as ample compensation is intended to be made to private tend t individual s as h ore unays id a b le injury is done to their property affected by th e measure, it appears to this Meeting to be free from any reasona b le objection, and is the more to be recom meennt d l y e d, as, , by o facilitateaffording an a y i s m ign ra i l l l a e r l e t r ho e r : o h u e g r h im far p e r , ev i e t mweonuthilyheiveih d hereafter may be projected on the present line or its vicinity, and especially because it will require no pecuniary assistance either from Government or from the funds of the Corporation, and therefore may be accomplished without delay. 5. That it appearing that, with few exceptions, the buildings required to be removed in accordance with the plan, will be of very inconsiderable value, many of them, indeed, of the most obscure and disreputable description, and taking, besides, into consideration the g r eat na t ura l f ac ili t i es which the whole lo cality affords, especially by giving an extensive double frontage, and also the immense revenues to be expected from the, proposed penny toll, which is to be levied on horses only, foot passengers going free, this meeting is decidedly of opinion that if prosecuted with judgment it cannot fail to be a profitable concern. 6. That this Meeting having carefully examined into the arrangements proposed to effectuate this interesting measure, whereby it appears that none of the preliminary expenses of forming this Company will fall on the subscribers, and that their entire funds (till required for the purposes of the Act of Incorporation) will be placed and remain inviolate in the hands of highly respectable trustees, eventually to be handed over to Directors of their own free choice, whilst a lar g e profit. is gua ranteed to the shareholders under that Act, to be secured on the freehold and other property and revenues of the Company with out any risk of loss in case of failure, this Meeting cannot but believe that it may prove equally desirable as a safe source of private emolument as of public improvement. • 7. That the following gentlemen having accepted the appoint ment of trustees be confirmed therein -I'4z. : Alderman Sir Peter Laurie I Mr. Alderman Pirie Mr. Alderman Farebrother I Mr. Ai lerman Magnay, in whose names the deposits and subscriptions are to be paid into the bankers', and there remain until Directors, to be named in the Act, shall be appointed by the shareholders, at a meeting specially to be convened for that purpose immediately previous to the first reading of the Bill, for leave to bring in which it appears that apetition has already been presented to Parliament in this session by Alderman Sir Alitthew Wood, Bart., M.P., on behalf of the Company. 8. That the Union . Bank of London be appointed bankers to the Company, into whose hands the deposits of 3/. per share are to be paid to account of the Trustees before named, of which deposit it is required that IL per share he paid between the 10th and 24th of February inst., and the remaining 2/. on or before Monday, the 2d day of March ensuing, by which time the Parliamentary contracts must be executed by each of the subscribers accarding to the terms of the prospectus. 9. That the thanks of this Meeting be given it, the gentle men who have so ably conducted the affairs of the Company, and that they be requested to continue their valuable services for the present, with power to add to their number, as a Pro visional Committee of Management, until the Directors be ap pointed, to be named in the Act, and to take over from the Trustees the Administration of the Funds of the Company. The Chairman havin4 vacated the Chair, the thanks of the Meeting were voted to him by acelamatio c f r the very able and satisfactory manner in which he filled the Chair, and for the zeal and talent displayed by him in forwarding the wishes and objects of the Meeting.

" THE GUINEA TRADE."--(To the Editor of The Sun.)—Sir, I perceive that doctors are now ti ,, ' matizing each other resuecting the use of that in s t rument of ruthless butchery, the lancet: that it has been the cause of thousands being sent to a premature grave cannot be doubted. It is time that something should be done to put a stop to the wholesale murders daily committed by its use. I again declare that the theory and practice of medicine, as taught in the schools, are completely wrong, and a disgrace to any enlightened country. am, Sir, your obedient servant, JAMES MORISON, the Hygeist.—British College of Health, New-road, and 2, Rue des Pyramides, Paris, Feb. 11, 1840. In the Dublin Gazette there is a proclamation from the Lord Lieutenant, offering a reward of 100/. for the apprehension of the person who gred the shot at Edward Syng, Esq., of Springfield, parish of Birr, King's County, of Drinduff. Mr. Syng i s a gent l eman of a very w hilst in the house of a m an name d C orcoran, of the vil lage religious turn, and fond of inculcating his own tenets amongst his tenantry and neighbours. He is, I have reason to know, a very benevolent man, and if he were less zealous in the promotion of his own religious opinions, it is probable that this atrocious attempt upon his life would never have been made. This is the second time that his life has been endangered in this way. The local Conserva tive paper, the Leinster Express, states that wh-n the last outrage was attempted, on Sunday evening, " Mr. Syng was holding a meeting for reading the Scriptures, and affording religious tnstruction to some of the poor tenantry at a house of one of his tenants." PRICE sd. MONEY MARKET and CITY NE WS; (watmsoaT EvENINo.) TIMES.—A question of immense importance to this commerce of the country has been rai,uj by the petition of the East India Company presented to the House of Commons last night. It is whether t whole of the de pendencieF and states in alliance with C , cat Britain, as well as our absolute possessions in Int sliJuld not obtain all the rights with /IT ird to trade which belong to actual colonies in other parts of the world. Ti, it the principle thus laid down in the petition is a sound ooe, there arc many persons here disposed to admit, but the pursuit of it seems to involve consequences so serious', and to lead to such a conflict of other colonial interests, that very stre nuous opposition to its progress is anticipated. As a practical question there can be no doubt that the por tion of India which is ours really, as well as nomi nally, could furnish with proper encouragement such a supply of the principal articles of consumption as to make us independent, among others, of America for cotton, and of China for tea, and pour an inexhaustible stream of actual wealth into the country. As an opening of the subject, and proceeding from that powerful corporate body which has seldom adopted the st)le ar. l langusge of petitioners, it ought to command the utmost attention both from the Legislature and the whole of the trading interest, domestic as well as foreign. The petition in substance and for all useful purpose's may be very briefly described. The pnitioners represent, that the British possessions in India contribute greatly io tae power and resources of the British empire. That the petitioners have felt it to be important to remove every impediment to the exercise of agricultural and ma nufacturing industry in India, and with that view have en. deavoured to procure for the products of that country ad mission into the ports of Great Britain on the same terms as the products of the colonies. The petitioners acknowledge the recognition of the principle in the equalization of the duties on sugar, but they represent that this measure is fettered by the neces sity of an application to the Queen in Cyaneil before any part of India can partake of the benefit. The petitioners represent that a narrow construction of the term " Briti=h possesssions" has revented the hat portation of the prcdue,e of native stares in alliance with the British Government, and also o' Al -are, where the government is in the bands of the British. The petitioners then specify, as articles in which ine quality still exists, "spirits and tobacco;" and they fur ther represent, that whilst British manufactures are im ported into India at a low duty, a high duty is levied on the importation of Indian manufactures into Great Bri tain ; and they submit the policy of encouraging the at tempt to produce tea in India by a roziuctior, of duty. The rtitioners proceed to point out that in many in stances the products of India are rreeivcd into the colonies of Great Britain upon less favourable terms, not only than the goods of Great Britain, but also than the goods of fo reign countries. The petitioners finally call the attention of the House to the injurious effect upon India of the navigation laws relating to Asiatic seamen ; and they pray " that the House «ill be pleased to grant such relief as may be ef fectual to remove the grievance ca:npl tined of." Great interest is excited among the city merchants by the facts which have recently transpired with respect to the free town of Cracow, and especially by the circumst a nce that it is without a British Consul, to the manifest injury of the rights of that town, as well a; of our own commer cial interests. The general act of the Congress of Vienna, made by the five great Powers, expres,iy declared the freedom, independene, and neutrality of Cracow and its territory, and it was particulady stipulated that no armed force should enter it on any pretext what ever. Nevertheless one uninterrupted series of en croachments on the constitution and liberties of that town has been carried en by Russia, Prussia, and Austria, and continues to this day, without a single deri sive step being taken by England or France to insure the liberties or even the political existence of a republic whose right they guaranteed at the Congress. Under the form of a protectorate (an office entirely unknown to the ancient constitution of Cracow), every conceivable enor. mity has been committed by the three powers, with Russia at their head. Troops of Austrians and Russians have entered the territory, in the most hercfaced violation of the treaty ; the authority of the Senate has been an nulled, and that Court been filled with chosen creatures made the mere tool of the three Powers, who have also taken upon themselves the right of appointing professors in the University ; the expulsion of refugees has been de manded and effected by military force ; the Cra covians have been required to pay the expenses of the foreign occupation that enslaves them ; a new constitution has been forced upon the people ; the organization of the police is entirely with the resi dents of the three Powers; the militia is in the same con dition, two companies actually wearing the Austrian uni form ; a school has been closed, because principles were taught repugnant to the ideas of the three " protectors ;" and not only has nothing been done by England, but she has no representative on the spot who can even see the existence of evil, and her only knowiteig: of the misfor tunes of a state whose liberties she has bound herself to protect, is to be gathered from vague rum Airs, which may be easily stifled, when convenient, by the residents of the three Powers. But this moral obligation is not all ; the commercial interests of England, as before observed, are deeply concerned in the fate of Cracow. Goods were till lately eent thither from Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, and Birmingham, and zinc, wool, wheat, aril clever seed were taken in exchange. The trade, which was never less than 80,0001., amounted to 140,000/. in the year 1 S3O. A military occupation for upwards of three years and th absence of an English Consul, have, it appears, mused this trade en tirely to cease—a trade which enjoyed ext - aordinary faci lities, inasmuch as no duty was paid on the entrance of goode into Cracow. Before the year I S3O Cracow was a storehouse for English goods, and the central market of Hungarian, Moldavian, and Wallechiau merchants, many of whom now resort to the fair at Leiptoc. This destruc tion of a large beinch of our trade through gross injustice on one side, and culpable lukewarmness on the other, cannot be regarded by all Europe otherwise than with feelings of deep concern, whil e o ur own mercha n ts l oo k on with th se feelings aggravated by personal loss and national dishonour Tho Consol market has on the whole boon heavy to-day, in the morning as high as but, thi; was for a short time, and they closed at 91 (sellers) for the account, 90{ to 1 for money, and 91i to s for th , ..! April account. Money was in abundance, and was obtainable for any period at 3 per cent. Exchequer Bills maintain tli it price of 12s. to 14s premium. POST.—The English Funds open2d this morning at about the same quotations, with but tittle appearance of activity. Later in the day it became known that the over. laid -mail from India had arrived with accounts of an tin .' fa - vouraie import from China—for an actual collision be tween t British naval force and the Chinese junks in the Cilttfin river, whatever may hive been the result, can not butlie considered as an unforiun:te circumstance for the cotiocrce of this country—and prices declined in cot:- sequeot., SUN'—News from China, which reached the City late inthe afternoon, caused a good deal of bustle ha the tea trade, and prices rose from 4d. to sd. per lb. There were no private letters iu the City ; these will come on in the ordinary mi.', and most likely reach town to-morrow. _ . . The Funds were heavy t 3 the close 91 business. Con sols left off at 90- to 91 for Money, and at 91 for Time... , Exchequer Bills were withoit alteration, but Indf4lSonds dropped to Is. prem. here was a slight movement in Satnish Stock, but not at better prices, the latest quotation was 27 to 26i. Colombian fell to 26, but Mexican rallied to 28i. Brazil:Bands improved again to 784. Shaies were heavy. The Brighton realised 10i dis count, and the Birmingham (quarter) 19 to 191 prem. British North American Bank Shares were at 11 disc. OLITICAL SUMMARY OF THE MORNING JOURNALS. The Morning Herald of this day, speaking of Sir E. Knatchbull's motion last Light, respecting the Tithe Commutation Act, remarks as follows : —" The real amend ment that is required, is of a kind very different from that proposed by Sir Edward Knatchbult. The burden of tithe commutation ought. as we have often shown , to be removed altogether from the shoulders of landowners." — The Times observes, with reference to the Ministerial re plies in the Commons on Tuesday night, to Mr. Lid dell's speech respecting Sir John Newport's pension : " The excuse was actually an attempt to mystify the House of Commons and the people of England by an as surance Ora there was no connexion or mutual relation be. tween the Rice half of the job and the Newport moiety; but that, somehow or other, without any artifice at all, nature and accident did the whole work for Ministers, for the Octogenarian, and for Vulture ; that by some harmonious and beautiful concatenation of predestined, no doubt, but uneontrived felicities, the mom-nt at which Sir John Newport became incapable of performing another day's service as Controller, should tally s 3 critically with that beyond which it was impossible for Mr. Spring Rice to retain even one shattered frag ment of his ffice as Chancellor of the Exchequer."— The Morning Post alluding to the just and respectful feel ings of loyalty which have been lately exhibited towards the Queen, says :—" There is no end to the stupidities and inconsistencies of the revolutionary loyalists of the same people wh o p u t f ort h loc h present day.

Russell's speech on Tuesday night on the Church rate Question :—" The Dissenter is willing, like the rest of the world, to pay for one religion, that one being his own. Ho asks not for privilege, he claims equality. Lord Jolts Russell objects to immunity from Church-rate as a bribe ; does he see no evil in the imposition of Church-rate as al penalty ? He is afraid of exonerating the unconscientious ..is there nothing to fear in burdening the conscientious?" The Morning Advertiser, alluding to a recently published currency pamphlq, remarks as follows : —" It is gr,:tifying to perceive from t-he number of pamphlets on the cur rency question now in course of publication, that the sub ject attracts an attention likely to lead to art ameliora tion, if tr.t to a thorough reform of the evil; pervading► our monetary system." SOUTHWARK ELECTION. PUBLIC DINNER. Yesterday evening a large number of the electors of Southwark, dined together at the Bridge Hotel, London bridge, to celebrate the triumphant return of Mr. B. Wood, as member for the borough, at the late election. At six o'clock upwards of 350 Gentlemen were assembled, and the chair was takepoisY Sir M. Wood, Bart., M. P. On the right of the•Ontirman sat Mr. B. Wood, and on either side of the Chairman, at the cross tables, were Mr. George Bng, M P., Mr. Tennyson D'Eyneourt, M P., Mr. O'Connell, M. P., Sir James Duk^, M. P., Sir Benjamin Hall, Bart., M. P ,:Mr. Humphery, M. P., Mr. Pattison, M.P., Mr. Hawes, . M P., Sir De Lacy Evans, M. P., Mr. Hume, M. P., Mr. Law Hodges, M. P.. Mr. Alderman White, John Tracers, Esq., Mr. Harris, &c., &c. After the cloth was withdrawn, and Non Nob is sung by the professional gentlemen present, The CHAIRMAN rose and said he was sure it would be unnecez.sar) for him to bring to their attention the occur rences of Monday last.—( Hear, hear.) He trusted it would be as happy a day as regarded the Queen, and her Royal husband, as the circumstances were interesting to the country. He would, therefore, say no more than pro.. pose t) them the health of the Queen, and her Royal Cun. sort Prince Albert.—( Loud and continued cheers.) " God save the Queen." The CRAIRNIA N next proposed —" The Qaeen Dowager." The toast was drur,k with three times three. The CIIAIRMAII then said that as they bad some con sict!rable business to do during the evening, the company would excuse him if he hurried forward the arrainements of the night. The present toast included one whom every good citizen and member of society must estimate, and who was long known to all who were friendly to education and to civil and religious liberty.—( Hear.) The youngest amongst them must be aware of the talent, the zeal, and the principles of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex.— ( Loud cheers.) He would add to his the name of the Duchcs; of Kent, an illustrious lady. whom every family man must admire for the manner in which she had educated her daughter.—( Loud cheers.) He should, therefore, propose to them " The Duke of Sussex. the Duchess of Kent, and other branches of the Royal Family."—( Loud cheers.) Glee—" Blow, Warder, b'ow." The CHAIRMAN said the next toast on his list was one of great importance, and one with which they all were con nected—it was " The Peeple, the source of legitimate power."—( Loud cheers.) The Citatastax then rose and said that he had now a tot.st to propose which he wished should he drunk in the form in which the Stewards had drawn it up, and as he wished to give it ; for he believed they were all anxious to support her Majesty's Government.—( Loud cheers ) He would ask were there any means by which pro gressive Reform could be carried out, unless they had Ministers who would support it ?—( Hear, hear.) They had no hope of this from the Gentlemen who sat in Parliament opposite to all the Elva. Gentlemen who were now present.—( Hear, hear.) On a late occasion he fancied there was some chance of the Opposition coming into office. They had prepared the way, and he believed that the beds of some of them had been taken down for the purpose of being removed to Dawning-street.-_( Hear, and a laugh.) They had been disappointed, however, and he trusted that the principles of Reform would progress, as they were most consistent with the rights of the people. —(Hear.) He could not help thinking, therefore, that the gentlemen of the borough of Southwark would drink fervently " Her Majesty's Ministers, and may they carry out the principles of progre .sive Reform."—(Enthusiastic cheering.) Comic song by Mr. King. The CHAIRMAN then p: epsed " Tue Army and Navy." They had to-day amongst them a gall Int General, who was not only distinguished as a gallant officer but as a friend to liberty. He would therefore propose to them, " Sir Dc Lacy Evans, and the Navy and Army." Sir DE LACY EVANS rose and was received with loud cheers. He said he was sorry he had been taken in a double sense by surprise; first, on being called on to re spond to the toast ; and, secondly, in finding his name joined to it. He thought that when on active duty the less the service had to do with politics the better; but when not actively employed he considered they should exercise their civil rights, and combine loyalty to the Crown with at tachment to the principles of the Government.—( Cheers. ) The CHAIRMAN then proposed "132njamin Wood, El., and the continued triumph of Reform principles in the bo rough of Southwark."—( Loud and continued cheers.) Mr. B. Wooe, in returning thanks, reverted to the cir cumstances of :he lite election. la'the five months' war wae.l against them they had a long purse, a powerful press, and professions of all descriptions used in opposition to them. What defence had they against this svatem but their own open hands and honest hearts? But they triumphed with a majority if 524 votes, and in every pa rish save one—the small parish of St. Themes. He had gone into that House unpledged hut he never wculd give a more conscieotious vote than he had done on the motion of Sir J. Y. Buller.—(Hear, and cheers.) He regretted the conduct of the Ministry last night in refer ence to the votes on the subject of Church-rates. On all such occasions he would vote against the Government. The depth of hi: gratitude to h s Committee-men he could not explain, but the electors were equally indebted to them, for the triumph was their own, and let it be their motto now and henceforth, " Liberty is our birthright, and by that we will ever stand."—( Loud and continued cheering.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of the other representative, Mr. Humphery.—( Cheers.) The toast was drunk with loud applause, and Mr. Hum phery returned thanks.

LONDON COMMERCIAL REPORT (YESTERDAY.) ARRIVAL OF THE OVERLAND MAIL. TEA.—The arrival of the overland mail, bringing the news that the English and Chinese were engaged in open war, has thrown the market ia'o a very unsettled rate. 3d. is said to be the advance in some kinds of Tea, while 24. is the advance on the more inferier qualities. The general expectation is that the market will still improve, and that the China question will be some time bcfore it is settled. ~..---- SUGAR.—There has been a good inquiry for the various descriptions. Mauritius at public sale brought 31 to 6d. higher prices. In British Plantation the sales exceeded 1,000 hhds. at steady prices. COFFEE. —A good deal done by private contract. But at public sale the lots of St. Domingo a id Java only par tially sold. TALl,Ol9.—The market still keeps up at 503. to 508. 31. , at which there are good buyers.

In this case two persons off,.red themselves as bail for the insolvent's appearance on the flay appointed for the hearing. Michael Pearman, the insolvent's father, was one of the proposed sureties. It appeared that the old man lived a t B ex l ey -h eat h , and he afterwards said he lived in Bexley-town, where he had some things. Mr. Commissioner BOWEN—What furniture hare you . c' Witness—Oh, I don't know ; I suppose a few eticks.--(A laugh.) A few sticks ! Nothing else?—No ; only a parcel of rubbish.—(Laughter.) The Learned Commissioner questioned the witness again, and he answered in the same manner ; all that could be elicited from him was, that he had a " few sticks." Mr. Commissioner BOWEN said he could not accept him as hail, telling the old man that he should not have sworn that his furniture, which he now described as "stick“;' was wort% 80/. The old man appeared unconscious of the result, and soon afterwards an application was made to the Court to rehear the case, the solicitor for the insolvent assuring the Learned Commissioner that the old man had at least 501. worth of furniture, and freehold property worth 1201. a year, besides other property. The Court refused to question the old man, and the application for bail was rejected.

What right-thinking Christian knoweth not that the bona fide Believers in " The God of Our Lord Jesus Christ" shall perish everlastingly? But is it not more than probable, that our youthful Head of the Church, from the almost venial delicacy of her sex, might wish to decline thus, ore rotundo -, more than a dozen times a year all her life long, even so insignificant a fraction of her faithful and loving subjects? And should not such natural, nor, upon the whole, perhaps, unseemly scru ple:, be respected by those who " hare dominion over" the national " Faith." G. Fawdon, May's-buildings, St. Martin's-lane.
