If we have not, or if this all important fact remains in doubt or uncertainty, then we may as well retire from the contest at once, for our ultimate defeat is certain. To contend for a Church, without being clear as to the truth of the religion which that Church is to teach, would be an utter absurdity—an insult to common sense."—Conserva tive Principle, Fraser's Magazine, the Nlorning Herald, No. 17.382. We beg to direct the attention of our readers to an admirable letter on the subject of the ' Ecclesiastical Du ties and Revenues Bill.' The letter is signed ' A Friend to the Institutions of his Country ;' and has reference, chiefly to the false policy which the Duke of Wellington has pursued in supporting the fatal measure. In the sen timents of our Correspondent we beg to express our con currence."—The Morning Herald, Tuesday, July 28, 1840. " False Policy," " Fatal Measure 1" By the Duke of Wellington, " Friend to the Institutions of his Country." " Let laurels, drench'd in pure Parnassian dews, Reward his memory, dear to every muse, Who, with a courage of unshaken root, In honour's field advancing his firm foot, Plants it upon the line that justice draws, And will prevail, or perish in her cause. 'Tis to the virtues of such men, man owes His portion in the good that Heaven bestows." Table Talk, Cowpor. " The Duke of Wellington presented a petition from the University of Oxford against the Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues Bill, in the prayer of which he could not ooncur. The petitioners admitted the inconveniences and evils of the existing parochial system ; and be thought that as they were admitted, there could be no doubt that it would be most desirable for the public, and most particu larly desirable for the Church itself, that these inconve niences should be remedied and those evils removed. He confessed, therefore, that it was with astonishment that he heard that the petition which he had presented had been ' got up at Oxford. He entirely differed from the opinions expressed in that petition, being convinced that no measure could be devised so beneficial to the public and to the Church, as that one which went to remove the inconve niences and evils attendant on the parochial system which existed in this country ; and it would be well if the incon veniences could be removed by a proper application of the means of the Church."—The Sun, Friday, July 24. " University Education."—" The great resorts and seats of learning often outlive in this way the intontions of founders, as the world outgrows them. Our Universities are, in a great me sure, become cisterns to hold, tot con duits to disperse, knowledge. The age has the start of them, that is, other sources of knowledge have been opened since their formation, to which the world have had access, and have drank plentifully at these living fountains, from which they are debarred by the tenor of their charter, and as a matter of dignity and privilege. All that has been invented or thought in the last two hundred years they take no cognizance of, or as little as possible ; they are above it, they stand upon the ancient land-marks, and will not budge ; whatever was Rot known when they were en dowed, they are still in profound and lofty ignorance of." —The Examiner, No. 1,042 ; The Sun, Nos. 14,652 and 14,666.

Part Ist, Genesis, chap. 3, verse 22: And the Lord God said, Behold the man has become as one of us, to know good and evil ; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the bread of life, and eat, and live for ever. New Translation : Moreover, Jehovah God, said, Behold the man was one of us, with knowledge of good and evil ; therefore, now surely he shall put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life ; yea, he shall cat, and live for ever. Note. •• Let us now turn to the pages of Mr. Bellamy, so willingly neglected by Professor Lee, and we shall find a translation of this verse in question, as beautiful as it is literal ; a version, Mr. Editor, for which, had I a doctor's hat, whether of Halle, or any other university, I would cheerfully renounce it in favour of Mr. Bellamy ; in short, a version which, as it shows that the original, instead of a curse, contains the first direct promise of eternal life to man after the fall, is and will he entitled to the gratitude of every sincere reader of the Bible who becomes acquainted with it. Before, however, adding Mr. Bellamy's argu. ments in favour of this translation, I must beg leave to quote the version of Dr. Leander Von Ess, the well known ex-Professor of Marpurg, in his version of the Bible in German, (Sulzbach, 1822), wherein, althaugh he differs somewhat from Bellamy, (the first part of whose transla tion, by the way, was published in 1819), he yet agrees with him in giving the sense of the promise, verse 22 : Da sprach Jehova Gott, Siche I der Mensch cwt unsers gleichen worden, so dass er Gutes und Boses erkennt. Nun-101l er nicht die Hand aus strecken und noels dazu vom Baume des Lebens nehmen und davon essen und so ewig leben ? I have said Mr. Bellamy's version is literal."—Jarchi.

New Translation.—ln this thing, will Jehovah par don thy servant? When my Lord came to the house of Rimmon to worship there, then he leaned on my hand, and I myself worshipped in the house cf Rimmon. Since I myself worshipped in the house of Rimmon, will Jehovah I pray thee, pardon thy servant in this thing? Note. —Mr. Bellamy's Answer to Burgess, Bishop of St. David's. " The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of St. David's having circulated Reasons, why a new translation of the Bible should not be published without a previous statement and examination of all the material passages, which may be su pposed to he misinterpreted ;' and this circular being in tended to induce a delay of the publication of my new translation from the original Hebrew only, I wish to com municate to the public, through the medium of your Jour nal, a few observations in reply. " His Lordship may be satisfied with Mr. D'Oyley's and Dr. Mant's collection of notes, sanctioned by the • So ciety for Promoting Christian Knowledge ;' but it is im possible for him at present to know, as his Lordship says, • the good proposed by Mr. Bellamy would he more effec tually answered' by these notes, than by my translation— foe the plainest reason, his Lordship has seen neither my translation, nor the notes with which it will be accompa nied. A n d notwithstanding the deference due to his Lord ship, when speaking of production he has had an oppor tunity of compar'ng, it will not be conceded that he Gan form • a judgment of that which he has not seen."

Need we seek for any more causes for the production of apostacy, than those we have seen to be sufficient for the alarming extension of infidelity in modern times—namely, the er roneous translations put into the handi of the people. Can any one for a moment suppose that the translation concern ing the unjust steward is a correct translation ? Is it not surprising that the following passages should be put into the mouth of Christ himself, when no such meaning is in the original? viz., And I sa; unto you, make to your selves friends of the mammon of unrightcousness, that when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habi tions.

They stop the way in the road to truth ; or, at any rate, (for they do not themselves advance) they can only be of service as a check-weight on the too hasty and rapid career of innovation. The unavoidable aim of all corporate bodies of learning is not to grow wise, or teach others wisdom, but to prevent any one from being or seeming wiser than thernselveL ; in other words, their infallible tendency is in the end to suppress ino,uiry and darken knowledge, by setting limits to the mind of man, and saying to his proud spirit, ' hitherto shalt thou come, and no farther.'

Church Extension.—" Lord John Russell satisfied him, Mr. Villiers Stuart, that he ought to oppose the motion, by informing the House that, from the measure now be fore it, and of the adoption of one which lie contemplates submitting to its consideration next session, very consider able funds may be rendered available to the extension of religion, without the imposition of any fresh burden upon the people."—Waterford Chronicle, The Times, July lb, 1840. Ecclesiastical Revenues Bill.—" The chapters, it is again urged, ought to be the centre and fountain of the clerical education of the diocese, directing and conducting the studies of the candidates of the ministry. Again ap pears the awkward interrogation, Can you point out an instance in which any chapter has performed such a duty ? But again the defender is dumb."—The Times, Aug. 3, 1840. " The Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues Bill is now the law of the land. It is not to the colleges only, but it is also to their visitors, that we commend the consideration of this subject. If abuses exist in these colleges which their members and governors are unwilling to remedy, it is com petent for the Bishops, who are visitors, at any moment to make the necessary inquiries, and apply the necessary cor rection. At present there is no jurisdiction in existence which has any power within the walls of colleges except that of visitors ; and that jurisdiction has practically slept for nearly 200 years."—The Times, Aug. 12, 1840. Luke xvi. 9.—"' And I say unto you, make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness ; that when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.' Such a command certainly would not be given by our Saviour. This verse remains in the state it was in when first translated out of the native language of Judea, in the early ages of the Christian Church, not translated; and this is the case with numbers where the Hebrew words have been retained by the translators in Greek. I call upon Mr. Todd, and the writer of the Critical Inquiry, to favour the public with the solution of the above difficulty. If they cannot, they are not qualified to translate from the Hebrew." _ _ The Critical Examination, refuting the objections of Mr. Whitaker, 181, see The Sun, No. 14,447, Dec. 27, 1339: The Sun, No. 14,468, Jan. 17, 1839: The Sun, No. 14,482, Feb. 5, 1839.

Your opponents will learn it is not the battle-front we present, but that, had we had your compliance we should have sprung the torpedo.

Is it not incidental matter, that he, who during his life time " to the liege lord of his dear native land" paid a subject's homage, should still be a survivor to do his funeral honours? This must act as admonition to yo" to relinquish all parley.

To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We kayo no hesitation, however, in saying that:there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth muck more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very muck assisted in investi , sting and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless ti . P. evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth: and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the rea' rause of such attack may be, and thus ho will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if not relinquished.

The following is the report of the surgeon who at tended Mr. Mackreth after he had been attacked by the assassin Henry Hodges, Esq., surgeon, Ludlow, resides in this town, was called up a little before four, and was taken to the bed-room, No. 17. The wounded man was just put into bed and undressed. I found him weltering in blood, and, on examining him, found he had two very severe wounds, the upper one on his face, the other on his neck, a short distance below his chin. The wound on the face was on a line with the mouth, and extending nearly from ear to ear, and dividing the whole of the muscles of both cheeks ; the lower wound was very deep, at least seven inches long ; it laid the larynx quite bare, but the edge of the instrument glanced upwards. Part of the wound was so deep that it com municated with the larynx ; and, in giving him a little water, I saw some of it return through the wound. He was not bleeding much when I saw him, but he ap peared to have lost a good deal of blood. The wounds arc very dangerous, and particularly the lower one. I am of opinion the instrument was drawn from right to left. The shirt collar is slightly cut, and appears to be done with a sharp instrument, such is my opinion. Mr. Craw ford was with him, and had slightly bound up the wound. I put several ligatures in it. Several persons followed me in, and a moment after I noticed the prisoner. I had been in a very short time, when I observed the prisoner in his shirt near the fuot of the bed. Do not recollect if he had his trowsers on. Think not but cannot speak with certainty. He made a remark to some one, and I think spoke to me but did not hear what. He went backwards and forwards in his room, and lay down. I think till about seven o'clock. I examined the room, and was led to do it from what I elicited from the wounded man, who said distinctly several times, " some villain has (lone this," he bath said it and wrote it, much the same as he did to you. He made a motion something about pen and ink, and they were immediately brought ; he wrote several words in my presence ; he also asked for a policeman and gave the paper to him, the man who fainted (the paper signed was here produced), and was to the following effect : " Seine villain has done this—he stood on my left—l grasped his arm—he escaped. The door was locked too. W. MACKRETH." " Is there danger—is the wind-pipe cut through—is the man found." In consequence of his statement I was led to examine the room; there were three or four jets of blood from the arteries, and the walls were stained the height of his neck, wherever he appeared to have moved ; I was sur prised to find this jet on both sides of the room ; on th e side next the window and also on the other side ; two panes of the window were broken ; I asked him what he did when he gave the alarm at the window ; I did not tell him I observed the jet on the other side of the room ; he told me it was dark and he could not find the door, and he walked to the other side of the bed : I could not account for the blood on both sides ; he had groped and touched the wall with his hands; he described this to me ; I traced the jetting down the left-hand side of the stairs, adjoining the wall ; I then examined the passage to the right, towards the door where the pri soner is represented to have slept ; I did not find any jetting there, but many drops of blood on the carpet, to the door of No. 20 ; the drops on the carpet were very frequent, and not many inches between them ; I traced the line of blood without difficulty quite up to the door ; they were on the right side ; they ceased at the door of No. 20, that is, the extreme end of the passage ; I saw two or three drops of blood on the door next the prisoner's, No. 19 ; there was one drop distinct on the board between the carpets which cover the passage and the carpet in the bed.-room door of No. 20 ; this drop of blood is about one inch external to the door when closed ; there is a rather dark old carpet, loose in its texture, in the prisoner's room ; I have not seen any blood on that ; I saw some blood on the prisoner's becl-curtains ; they were drawn back, and I saw some blood next the window ; it did not appear as if dropped on, but as if some thing wet with blood had touched it ; this curtain was within two feet of the window ; I remarked if a person was throwing anything out of the window, they would have touched the curtain. There must have been more blood towards the prisoner's room if Mr. Maekreth had gone in that direction ; my impression is the wounded man did not go in that direction. The prisoner's room looked into the yard of the next pre mises. The drops of blood on both the floor and bed curtains were no doubt fresh. Before I had been in the house twenty minutes I requested two policemen to be sent for as there was something very suspicious about the case, and shortly after they arrived I gave infor mation of my suspicions to Richard Hammonds, and requested he would be on the look out. About seven o'clock I saw the prisoner come out of his room. He had no stockings on. I did not make the discovery till the prisoner had left his ro om and had been down the yard. He had all his clothes on except his boots and stockings. He had a pair of boots in his hand and put them down, he observed to me he had lost his stockings ; at this time he was stand ing in the passage near the door of the wounded man. He came inside the bedroom to look for his stockings. One or two pairs were showed to him ; he said they did not belong to him. He almost immediately left the room, and the next time I saw him was down stairs with his boots on. I discovered no instrument in the room, with which the wounds appeared to have bee n inflicted. 1 saw two razors of the wounded man's is single cases ; they appeared not to have been used. Mr. Bradford and Dr. Lloyd looked for them, and found them while I was in the room. I have seen the marks under the bed since the wounded man has been removed. A good many persons have visited it. The marks of the left hand are very plain, and it appears as if some person had been breathing on the floor also. I observed the marks of the points of a man's fingers in the dust of the floor. Did not particularly notice tho height of the bed from the floor. BURNS AND HIS HIGHLAND MARY.—WC have seen in the possession of Mr. Christie, merchant in this city, the pair of Bibles presented by the poet Burns to his Highland Mary. They are in a good state of preser vation. It is rather a curious circumstance that they should have found their way to Canada; but having been carefully preserved in the family, their present owner emi grated from Scotland some years ago—having refused, before embarking at Greenock, the sum of 101. sterling, which was offered for the Bibles, by one very desirous of procuring them. Circumstances having changed, he is now desirous of disposing of them, and has placed them in the hands of Mr. Christie for that purpose, who is about to send them to Montreal.— Toronto Colonist, U. C. It is at length decided that the anniversary of the Abergavenny Cwmreigyddion Society will be held on Wednesday and Thursday, the 7th and Bth of October next, preparations for which are now being made on a large scale. J. E. W. Rolls. Esq , at the Hendre, will preside on the occasion. The arrangements for accommo dating the audience will be much superior to those at the Eisteddfod in 1838. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex has never, we presume, been in this part of the kingdom, and we have no doubt if all things turn out as propitious as expected, he will be highly delighted with his visit. The beautiful scenery with which the little town of Abergavenny is surrounded, and the welcome he will receive from Old Cambria's Sons, will not fail to make an impression en his mind which time itself will not erase.— Merlin, The important subject of Parliamentary Reform is occupying the. attention of the popular Journals. The Bradford Observer strongly commends the principles of the Leeds address, and the Manchester Times argues for a reading-and-writing qualification. The Suffrage question ought to be unceasingly discussed till an extension has been obtained. This may be done without any collision with other measures w kh various classes of Reformers may deem it proper to agitate for. The Tories are weakened by their divisions ; the Whigs are feeble in Par liament; now is the time for the Radicals, by al d attention to the registration, to secure that command of v7fea in the House, without which they must always be weak.—Leices tershire Mercury. As a proof of the extraordinary rapidity of com munication between the two continents at the present mo ment, it may be stated that newspapers published a t Ha lifax, Nov a Scotia, on the sth of August , were rec eived at the British and F ore i gn N ews p a p er Office, Chichester, on the 16th instant, and papers of nearly as late a date were received at the same time from New Brunswick, Ca. nada, and New York. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—The new melo drama of Guy Fawkes, which was to have been represented at this theatre last evening for the first time, has been post poned, in consequence of certain passages in it being offen sive to the Lord Chamberlain. The drama of Seg:Accu sation was substituted in its place. CERTAIN GROWTH of HAIR.—A Gen tleman just returned from a Tour in the East, and a long residence in Constantinople, offers to the Public a CER TAIN REMEDY for the CURE or PREVENTION of BALDNESS. The TURKISH HAIR BALSAM is the preparation of Othman Mustapha, Surgeon-Barber to his Majesty Abdul-Medjid, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, by whom the Advertisers are authorised to make known this valu able discovery. The miraculous properties of MUST.APHA'S BALSAM are unrivalled; the trial of a single bottle will re move the doubts of the most sceptical. In the course of a few days the young Hair may be clipped with fine scissars. In we it w►ll be found singularly agreeable, and as a dressing for Real or False Hair, surpases anything hitherto known. A Depot having been established in London, at No. 10, Maddox-street, Regent-street, the TURKISH HAIR BAL SAM may be had there in Bottles, at ss. each, or in large Bottles containing the quantity of three, at 12s. 6d. each. The supply brought to England being at present very limited, an early application from Vendors (to whom the usual allowance w►ll be made) is recommended. Orders from the country (enclosing a remittance), addressed to Mustapha and Co., 1 0, M.kdilox-street, Regent-street, will be immediately attended to. May also be had of all respectable vendors.

" Wanted, two or three well-bred youths as midship men in a fine East India ship !" So write the good natured people who advertise themselves the patrons of all adventurous young gentlemen, "in town or country, who have no objection to go on board." Shipowners complain, and not without reason, of the accumulated burthens on British navigation. How are we to reconcile this fact with the announcement in the advertisement, which informs us that ro many inex perienced and nautically-lAlpless boys are in high re quest ? They are not wanted as apprentices, but as " midshipmen"--a rating unknown in a merchant ship. " Wanted, two or three well• bred youths as midship men." Here are all the ingenuity and stratagem of the recruiting sergeant :—" He'd have none bat gentle men ; for every man he enlisted would be made a cor poral." Shipmasters covet able seamen ; military officers smart rank and file! A crew of midshipmen would not be less ridiculous than a regiment of cor porals. The sergeant's policy is understood, but it only renders the advertiser's the more perplexing—the results would be dissimilar. We must examine the matter closer. The muster-bill of " a fine East India ship," of 1,200 tons, in the service of the Honourable Company, con tained the names of 135 persons, including the captain, officers, six midshipmen (sometimes only three), and the subordinates. The same ships are now sent to sea with a crew of less than 100 persons, which is considered a sufficient manning under the altered equipment. " A Parent" (who refers us to the advertisement) would be informed, " whether the lads' services are ' vvantel',' as infeired - ; what are their chances of pre ferment ; and of the propriety of his giving 601. to send his son to sea as a midshipman ?" The foregoing state ments will furnish an answer to the first portion of the inquiry. If 135 give six, what will 100 give ? The youth's services may be useful if he be one of the just ' Iproportion thus d e d uce d b y " R u l e o f Th ree. " " A Parent" will be pl ease d t o b e care f u l i n hi s ar i thmet i c, for we have heard th a t th e resu l t h as b een erroneously fixed at sixteen !—so many lads "in buckram suits " having. adventured, each paying 50/ or 601., as midshipmen, in one ship ! As to the chances of promotion : sixteen is an awful provision of young gentlemen, all expectants of the berths of four mates. The reversion is very remote, and this ' should certainly be considered in determining " the pro priety," &c. Our inquirer must understand, too, that future employment does not follow as part of the bar gain. The 601. purchases one voyage ; the mess-money and outfit are extras, which will be duly explained upon application " for further particulars," as per advertise ment. Is the advertiser a slopseller ? The hare proba bility is sufficient for denouncing this system of prepar ing " midshipmen," as exceedingly dishonourable. The drunken sailor is frequently " shipped" by the crimp pre cisely in the same way. The Jew is commissioayd to pick up a crew, and he selects those who have the larg est chest—the crimp's men are all A.B. Is there any objection to announcing that Captain Such• a-one, of such a ship, is willing to engage with the parents of young gentlemen desirous of going to sea ? There can be none to the induction of " well-bred youths" to the sailor's occupation. As pupils to acquire the naval art, it is well they should be placed--whatever their number —under an experienced master ; but there are some things to be observed in the manner of doing it. There is no necessity to call them " Midshipmen," as though they were borne on the muster-roll as part of the ship's company ; for, were this the case, and the Act touch ing apprentices duly observed, a host of evils would result. Too many weak and unskilled hands would be shipped ; greater labour would be unfairly required of the real mariners ; the insurer would run a greater risk ; and the shipper and the passenger would be both placed in a position worse than they should occupy. On the other hand, if these youths are made to. stand as apprentices, not being so, then the Act of Parliament is infringed, and her Majesty, wanting sailors, may find the number of serviceable blue-jackets somewhat the less for the " Midshipman" rig. But against this the re gistrar at the Custom-house is the proper conservator ; he had better look to it in time. UNIV ERSITY IN'T'ELLIGENCE. OXF•RD, AUGUST 22.—The Rev. R. J.Wilberforee, late fellow of Oriel College, has been presented to the Vicarage of Burton Agnes, Yorkshire. The removal of this estimable man from the late field of his labours, East Farleigh, near Maidstone, has occasioned much concern to his late flask, who duly appreci_ted the great advantages they derived from his residence among them, in having fulfilled in an eminent degree the several duties of a Christian Minister. The Venerable Francis Lear, Archdeacon of Sarum, late fellow of Magdalen College, has been appointed by the Dean of that Cathedral to the oflicialty of the peculiar deaconal jurisdiction of Sarum. The President acd Fellows of St. John's College have presented the Rev. Thomas Wintle, Senior Fellow of that Society, to the Prebend or Rectory of Leckford, Hampshire. The Lord Bishop of London has instituted the Rev, C. Berkeley, of Pembroke College, to the Vicarage of Southminstcr, Essex, on the presentation of the Go vernors of the Charter-house. The Rev. Samuel Wilberforce, of Oriol College, Archdeacon of Surrey, has been inducted to the vacant stall in Winchester Cathedral. The vacant Canonry of Christ Church has been filled by the Rev. Dr. Faussett, of Magdalen College, Pro fessor of Divinity. This appointment is according to the provision of the Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues Act, which only became a law just before the promo rtion of Parliament, and by which Dr. Faussett vacates a prebendal stall in Worcester Cathedral. By the same Act Dr. Lewellin, precentor of St. David's, is to be created a Dean, and the title of Precentor will now be extinci. On Saturday night last, about nine o'clock, the Second Dragoons at Abergavenny were ordered out, fully equipped in marching order. The first man was at his post within five minutes of the first sound of the trumpet. So much for discipline. EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUALSTANCE• Last week, Dr. Hamilton, of this city, extracted a large needle from a man about forty-five years of age. The patient from whom it was taken, on applying to the doctor, stated that he some time previously received a severe fall, and, from the pain he suffered, he conceived that one of his ribs had been broken. The doctor, on examining the part, found it much swelled, and to the touch it appeared as if a portion of the lower rib had been fractured. The sufferer anxiously entreated him to open it, but the doctor, fearing that such an operation might be attended with danger, refused to comply. He had recourse, however, to poulticing and other treatment, and in four days afterwards, on examining it carefully, he discovered the point of a needle protruding, and succeeded in extracting it without subjecting tho patient to any violent pain. The needle does not appear much worn, but is greatly discoloured, being quite black, it is very smooth, and sharp at the point, and is supposed to have been swallowed, probably in food, four or five years ago. The man, on its removal, felt at once relieved, and is now perfectly recovered. He had been complaining for eleven weeks before it was ex tracted, and latterly was scarcely able to move.—London derry Paper. The march of temperance in London is appa rently progressive. There is not a publican who does not loudly complain of the falling off of business, although all sorts of attractions in the way of singing and music are enlisted in the temptations to the enjoyment of the social cup. The value of licensed victuallers' houses has fallen off immensely. The United Presbyterian Synod of Ireland has addressed the Lord Lieutenant for the interest his Ex cellency has taken in procuring such modification of the rules of the Education Board, as has enabled them to obtain aid for their schools in strict conformity with their system and practice; and for the special interest he has taken in organizing a system of rules for the en dowment of their new congregations, which they trust his Excellency may still farther modify, so as to fully meet their wishes, and afford unmixed satisfaction. _ In his reply the Lord Lieutenant says , the chan g es made have he bee c n an th h e o s l p d o f n o t r a t n h e n o o h us o a p ct e ofof change the lioard in it t s h e e lt e , n a d nd cm a m dd e s n , t tha re gulations to which they refer. APPALLING DEATII.--111C neighbourhood of Carburton, Nottinghamshire, was, in October last, it may be remembered, thrown into a state of considerable ex citement by the discovery of a diabolical system of poisoning which was supposed to have been carried on by Mrs. Henry Cutts, the wife of a highly respectable farmer. She was be lieved to have caused the death of Mrs. Cutts, her husband's mother, by administering poison to her; and to have re peatedly given small doses of poison to her husband, the effects of which deprived him of the use of his limbs. It now appears that the lady who was burnt to death in so a ppalling a manner in the house of Miss Sankey, of New Ferry, Cheshire , the particul sse a et r apn s naacrm o ea f este odf which w hav e already a ppeared in our paper, was this sam e M rs.

EVENING EDITrO74. 14.1 MK ANI I'lll4 MIN 18TRItS OF STRATIIisOGIE. The Commission of the General Assembly has passed over without deposing the seven ministers of Strath.. hoeie. indeed, under the rernit to the Commission from the last Assem . oly, this step—for what the ministers had dove—was perhaps not within the Commission's power ; but then the brethren of Strati bogie did not even obey the citation id the Assembly to appear at the bar of the Commission, and they refused to p:ead to the libel with which *they have now been served. Here, therefore, there was " enough and to spare " o f f res h contumacy to warrant instant deposition, yet it came not. Th. Commission of the 11th December 1839 suspender/ the seven ministers, because they respectfully reported that they intended to obey the law of the land. " How are the mighty fallen!" The Ceminission of the hAu mist 1840 ordered the same men to be served with a libel, beeau e th e y h a d o p in ly and contumactuus/ 9 / set at defiance the laws and authority of the Church But there is a reason for all this. The dominant party in the Church are great " waiters on Providence ;" and it is particularly coincident that at present they should pause to see what the chapter cf accidents may bring forth. Public opinion is already bearing hard against them for their resistance to the law of the land, and their tyranny towards their brethren, and they DAMI NOT venture to advance. Tile moderate party, with the views which they entertain of a Commission and its powers, did not seek of that body to acquit the seven idmisters, and pronounce them, as they are, loyal sub jects of her Majesty, and not less liege and faithful sons of the Kirk, as by law established. They sought no more than delay in serving the libel, until the next As. sembly should meet ; and for this we observe that they are accused by the Scottish Guardian of having relin. quished the high ground they took at the last Assembly ; and LordAbordeen is exultingly asked where his prophecy is, that the I:2th of August would witness a fearful schism in the Kirk. • And why has it not Clone so ? Because the ruling party had not the courage to carry out their principles in the Strathhogie case. They pretend that they have dealt leniently with the Seven Brethren, and have libelled them, to give them room for repent ance! It was n ell remarked by Dr. Bryce that libels__ have a very different object iii vie v- - -namely, to give the accuser an opportunity to make good his charge— the accused to establish his innocence ; and as it pre sumes innocence until guilt is proved, we lesve it to the wiseacres of the Kirk to say how a locus penitentice can have place. But the great schism threatens the Kirk from ano ther quarter. The Commission has ordered the Prey bytery of Irvine, svho are now under interdict by the Court of Session from dividing a parish quoad sacra, to proceed in doing so, nothwithstanding this interdict. In this case the interdict is at the instance of a layman. This is most fortunate ; for in the Strathhogie case the ministers, though they obtained it, have been re strained from calling for the punishment attached to its violation, from a very natural reluctance to put their brethren into prbon. Mr. Cunningham, of Lamshaws, will be restrained by no such feeling ; and through his Counsel at the Commission he intimated, fairly and ho nestly, that if the interdict is broken the utmost penalty of the law will be exacted. Broken it will be, it there be any "virtue extant" among the ruling party in the Kirk, and although it is lamentable to see such things going. on in the Kirk, every peaceable subject must be gratified at the prospect of witnessing the law vindicated in Scot• land, which in the Strathbogie matter has been so grossly trampled upon by Reverend Doctors of Divinity, Honourable Justices of the Peace, and Magistrates of counties, acting as Elders of the Kirk. THE BRITISH NAVY. (From the Naval and Military Gazette.) Endeavours are again making to " fright the Isle from its propriety," by preposterous accounts of the French Navy, as compared with our own ; and party journals arc as active as ever in the amiable attempt to disparage the Fleet of England whilst they exalt that of our rivals. It is not Russia, but France that is now, ere long, to accomplish the blockade of the Thames ; and accordingly the most exaggerated statements of her means, present and in prospect, are daily heralded. We need no other argument to confute these assertions than what we can extract from the statements of the detrac tors themselves, who, labouring as they do to misrepre sent matters, are obliged to admit cert a i n d ata , w hi c h , when duly examin e d, go at once to prove their fallacies, " The question," observes the Leading Journal, " is not at this moment as to the general resources of Eng land and France, but as to their actuAl application to the point at issue." Now, we arc willing to join issue on this very text ; for we contend that our actual force is equal, and even superior to that possessed by France on the point where hostilities may be expected ; while our Contemporaries are first as - st ling the contrary, and then reasoning upon such assertions. The number of ships-of-the-line bearing the British flag at present in commission amounts to twenty-two, distributed as follows :—thirteen now in the Mediterra nean; two to proceed thither during the present month ; one at Lisbon, available to reinforce the Mediterranean Fleet ; three in the East Indies ; and three flag-ships in England.—First, as to our Mediterraneen Fleet. It is confessedly in the best possible condition for service ; a fact not only proved by the appearance of the crews paid off on their return from that service, but by l etters from the Commander-in-Chief and other officers of high rank and character (Conservatives withal), read in Par liament during the last session by Admiral Adam. The truth is, that every old officer is struck with the great superiority of the present crews over those of the war, which, however, may be easily accounted for, when we consider the different mode in which they are collected - all jail-birds, Lord Mayor's men, and culprits or offend_ ers against the law, as well as foreigners, being now strictly prohibited. O ur Mediterranean Let then' con sists at present of just thirteen sail-of-the-lin e to bo speedily joined by two noble second-rates, Rodney, 9: 1 , and Vanguard, SO, and ode ship from Lisban should circumstances demand it. Taus we repeat that we have at present, in the quarter where hostilities may be expected to commence, a force fully equal to contend with that of France ; for the French fleet, according to the last accounts, conssted of nine ships of the line in the Levant, one on the coast of Africa, and four pre paring for sea a t Toulon, only half manned—total, 14 ; and although some of our ships may be considered infe rior in size to the French, there need be no apprehen sion on that score, if our officers and seamen maintain their wonted superiority, of which no man (Lord Hard wicke excepted) has ever yet expressed a doubt. In fact, there is no comparison between the crews of the two fleets, nearly all of ours being train2d men, while more than half the French are raw levies produced by the conscription. We have three ships of the line in India, their crews made up to the war complement (and we may remark that the crews of the ships in the Mediterranean have also been lately strengthened) ; these, we presume, are sufficient to protect British interests in that quarter, and to bring the Chinese affair to a successful issue, after which two at least will be at liberty. Oa other stations our force is adequate to its purpose, although undoubt edly, in the event of war, it would be necessary to in crease it in every quarter. There is another . passage in our Contemporary's expo:s which we take leave to deny. '• War or no war, the men who have weakened the British fleet have weakened British influence in Europe." Now, so far from the British fleet having been weakened of late years (that is, during the period that our party journals have been so industriously impressing this belief upon foreigners, and upon Frenchmen in particular), the efficient Naysl force of the country has been constantly increased, until it nos, amounts, in that particular, to nearly double the extent it reckoned when this system of de traction I)..gan. In 1885, the number of ships-of-the line in commission (including guard-ships) was I> ; the seamen and marines voted, '26,500. In the present year, the number of line•of-battle ships is c)o, the sea men and marines employed 95,165, and an additional vote of 5,000 men, making altogether upwards of 40,000. We leave the reador to judge, therefore, whether the charge of weakening' British influence abroad, by weakening the British fleet, should be ap plied to the men who have in reality nearly doubled its effective force, or rather to those who, by Ids° and malicious statements, for party purposes, without re gard to the consequences their comments are likely to produce, have laboured so zealously and uncompro misingly to instil such belief. It is surely full time that this unworthy detraction should cease. if war is apprehended, the surest way to prevent it, and to settle at once the long-pending ne gotiations respecting Egypt and Turkey, is to make a demonstration, by putting a dozen ships of the line in commission, and assembling them at Spithead by the Ist of October. Nothing will tend more to raise the reputation of the Government and the nation at home and abroad, and show to the world the utter falsehood of what has been advanced, than such a mznifestation. It is, e"n'eeraalreGaoTevren,maencitu--,esitillo fact, :a s o e ) r i o e u t s one, for the question. o That the Board of Admiralty arc as willing as they are able to effect this, or double as much, we verily believe, and hoe:ever such a proceeding may be looked upon by our neighbours, to our comprehension it appears the most politic that can be adopted. It ,ill reassure those who are in doubt as to our means, and show to France and the world how c omparatively contemptible are their naval resources, when England thinks fit to put forth her strength. It involves a question of expense, but we believe, even in this respect, it will be found the cheapest course in the end.
