The wild, uncultur'd, blushing rose,— Thinkst thou that it the Father shews ? The infant's eye, that sparkles mind, Oh ! canst thou there the Father find? Where wilt thou then the Father trace, When nature is despoiled of grace ? The withered rose, its beauty lost; All nature bound in iron frost ! The lovely babe,—its sparkling eye Is dull'd, convulsed with agony ; It knew no sin, yet suffer'd so, — Say, canst thou thus the Father know? The sun, which shines on all abroad, — Is that the image of our God? Oh ! no—it takes far more to shew The mind of God to man below. Vain man! reflect—thy thoughts call home : The Father 's seen in Christ alone ! Justice and mercy there do meet; In Him the Father 's seen complete. His love is seen, in that he gave His own eternal Son to save Poor ruined man, who, fall'n from God, In Christ alone regains the road. " Shew us the Father !" Philip cried : Our condescending Lord replied— " Have I so long time been with thee, And, Philip, hast thou not known me? " Oh, Philip ! thou canst only see The Father when thou look'st at me; I am the way—in me alone Thou canst approach the Father's throne." E'en so, vain man ! think not to find In nature God the Father's mind: He only can be seen and known In Christ the everlasting Son !

THE GOVERNMENT SYSTEM OF NATIONAL EDUCATION. (From the Morning Herald.) In the evening organ of the Government appeared last night the following portentous announcement " We learn from an authority which enables us to state it as a fact, that the Bishop of Exeter. in the course of a recent correspondence with Lord John Russell on the subject of the government scheme of education, has expressed himself in terms of approval of its principle, and proposes a confer ence between the committee of privy council on education and the bishops, for the purpose of devising measures for carrying that principle into effect. We understand the whole correspondence is about to be published, and will, if our in formation be correct as to its character, induce a satisfactory hope that those who have hitherto most opposed its introduc tion will be found most active in contributing to its success." If " the authority" for the alleged approval by the Bishop of Exeter of the government scheme of national education be as shadowy a one as the "most positive authority" of the paper which enjoys the " immediate patronage of the Queen and court," for the atrocious fabrication touching Sir Robert Peel, and the answer given on his behalf to certain Protestants of Ireland, to engage in controversy upon the subject would be to grapple with a phantom. We recollect when a former correspondence took place between the Bishop . of Exe ter and Lord John Russell, which ended greatly to the discredit as well as discomfiture of the latter. The re sult of that interchange of epistles was certainly scarcely of a nature we should have thought to invite the present Secretary for the Colonies to what Lord Palmerston would call a " renewal of his diplomatic relations" with the distinguished prelate who showed that an over-scrupulous adherence to the truth was not one of the " weak points" of Lord John's political character. Still we are not prepared to deny that a correspond ence on the subject of the government scheme of edu• cation has taken place between the noble lord in ques tion and the Bishop of Exeter, Until, however, that correspondence shall have been published, and we see, under the Bishop's own signature, an approval of the principle of the Romano-infidel scheme of popular in struction, we shall question the correctness of the state ment put forth by the Globe, asserting so splendid, and yet so melancholy, an instance of episcopal apostacy from the high and holy cause of scriptural' education. But supposing that which it requires a great stretch of imagination, on our part, to conceive even for the sake of argument—supposing, we say, it should turn out that its ministerial " authority" has not in this in stance deceived our contemporary, but that the corre spondence with the Bishop of Exeter bears the inter pretation thus put upon it—greatly shall we lament such a defection from sound principle as the conversion of the Right Rev. Dr. Phillpots to Mr. Wyse's scheme of education would show, but we shall not imitate it. The government journal may indulge in its " satisfac tory hope that those who have hitherto most opposed the introduction of the scheme in question will become henceforth most active in contributing to its success ;" but as to ourselves, who were among the first and most • determined opponents of that Jesuitical scheme, both in its principle and details, we are not prepared to emu late even episcopal tergiversation, and vote " black white," in compliment to any prelate, party, or power whatever. The Romano-infidel scheme of education we call the government scheme merely in courtesy, because the government took it under its especial patronage. But we know that it did not originate with the government, but with Mr. Wyse and a certain Jesuitical circle that have long been plotting the unprotestantising of the popular mind of England. If the popish authors of that scheme had no opposing protestantism to over come in this country, they would have framed a plan of education somewhat different—a plan in which the intolerant domination of the papal power would not have been kept in the background, but brought pro minently forward. Under existing circumstances Mr. Wyse and his colleagues had to conciliate the dissen ters, and hold out inducements to the infidels to assist in overthrowing the authority of the Church of Eng land, hoping that the destruction of that great bulwark of the reformation would allow the Church of Rome to crush the dissenting sects—the scions from the mighty trunk—at its leisure and with great facility. The Jesuitical scheme of education was well con trived for its purpose, and that is the strongest reason why Protestants should resist it with unflinching de termination. Has the Bishop of Exeter approved, indeed, of the principle of this Jesuitical scheme ? Surely it is impossible ! We can as easily believe that the I3ishop of Exeter would give his vote in the House of Lords for the repeal of the Act of Settlement, and for restoring the former connection,, so diastrous to England, between the Vatican and St. James's. National education, based—infitorably based upon the pure and unadulterated word of God, is the only system of national education that true Protestants — whether prelates, peers, or commoners—can conscien tiously support. We, of the Church of England, leave all sects free to act in the education of their children as they think best. We do not, after the manner of our "liberal" friends of the Jesuit school, demand that the compulsory power of the state shall be employed to force our views upon those who con scientiously differ from us. We only demand for our own opinions that freedom which we concede to others —a freedom never granted in any Roman Catholic country to any sects of Protestants. Let, then, the political dissenters and infidels place their children, if they please, under Mr. Wyse's system of instruction, which begins by teaching a cold indifference in mat ters of religion, in the hope that the superstitions of Rome may hereafter be easily planted in a soil from which vital Christianity shall have been, root and branch, extirpated. We stand up for that upon which the reformed religion is founded—SCRIPTURAL EDU CATION. If any bishop of the present day tells us that it is expedient to sacrifice the scriptural part of popular education to conciliate the Church of Rome, we refer him to the writings of the fathers and martyrs of the reformation—we refer him to the testimonies in sup port of scriptural instruction sealed with the blood of the men who did not allow the base suggestions of expediency to cross their:minds when the question was about immortal principles. If he thinks those blood sealed testimonies of the Protestant victims of Romish intolerance and cruelty are not sufficient, we refer him to the Scriptures themselves—we refer him to the great mandate to teach the Gospel to all people—we refer him to the beautiful exhortation, " Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not—for of such is the kingdom of Heaven." How can ‘ 4 little children" come to Christ but through scriptural instruction ? An education essentially Christian, and therefore scriptu ral, can alone prepare them a fitting offering to Him under whose inspiration the Gospel was written, and who thus invites the young and innocent to come early. to their God. A journal like that from which we have• quoted, whose opinions for years past have varied with every shifting of the vane of political opinion at Whitehall, may think it natural enough, that because any distin guished leader of the conservative party chose to take an opposite course on a vital question from that which might he reasonably expected of him, therefore the organs of Protestant opinion should instantly veer round, and contribute to the success of false princi ples-and dangerous errors, which they had been stre nuously opposing. But, as one of those organs of Protestant opinion, we must be allowed to say that we respect principles more than we do men ; nor can we, to gratify a prince or prelate, allow those Scriptures which are the foundation of the Protestant faith, and of all sound, moral, and religious instruction, to be made a burnt -offering on the altar of political expedi ency. We imagine the vast body of Protestants who signed the 3,000 petitions and more against the government scheme of national education are of the same opinion, and never will consent to abandon, on any ground whatever, the great principle, that to educate the peo ple we ll—tp educate tkem to good and not to evil, po pular instruction must be of that sound, religious, and moral kind, which has no other foundation than the in/adulterated Scriptures, THE OXFORD TRACTS.--.BISHOP WILSON'S CHARGE TO THE CLERGY OF CALCUTTA. (From the Christian Observer.) A CHARGE DELIVERED TO THE CLERGY OF THE DIOCESE OF CALCUTTA, JULY 6TH, 1838, BY THE RIGHT REV. DANIEL WILSON, D.D., BISHOP OF CALCUTTA AND METROPOLITAN. (Concluded from our last) We will now take a few more of the propositions, it not not being necessary to quote those on which there is no con troversy. " That the honour paid to images is very full of peril, in the case of the uneducated, that is, of the great part of Chris tians." . . " That the received doctrine of purgatory is at variance with scripture, cruel to the better sort of Christians, and ad ministering deceitful comfort to the irreligious." " That the direct invocation of saints is a dangerous prac tice, as tending to give, often actually giving, to creatures tthe honour and reliance due to the Creator alone." " That the Roman doctrine of tradition is unscriptural." What mean such wary qualifications as, "in the case of the uneducated," " received," and " direct ?"* The extracts are intended to conciliate the Protestant reader, who had been alarmed by the statements of the writers in the Chris tian Observer, and other evil-minded persons, respecting the tendency of the Tracts. The strongest detached passages are therefore extracted in reply ; yet even these strongest pas sages are neutralized by saving clauses : and not one of them removes the impression conveyed by the context. What the extract from the Tract softly calls " the honour paid to images," Bishop Hall calls by its true name, •` the worship ping images ;" and instead of confining the " peril" of it to " the uneducated," however numerous, he says, " The book of God is full of his indignation against the practice ;" it is " idolatry abominable," nor will he allow in its pallia tion that " they worship not the image, but, by it, the person represented." But to set at rest the question, how far Bi shop Hall and the Oxford Tracts agree in this matter, we will quote a passage from each. The Tract, No. 71, says:— " The Tridentine Decree declares that it is good and use ful suppliantly to invoke the saints, and that the images of Christ and the blessed virgin, and the other saints, should receive due honour and veneration;' words which them selves go to the very verge of what could be received by the cautious Christian, though possibly admitting of an honest interpretation." Now read the words of Bishop Hall, who, speaking of this very doctrine of the Tridentine Decrees, says, and in the very treatise (c. x. sect. 2.), whose " order," certainly not doctrine, the Tract-writer follows : " All holy antiquity would have both blushed and spit it those forms of invocation which the late clients of Rome have broached to the world." _ _ _ " How would they have digested that blasphemous psalter of our lady, imputed to Bonaventure, and those styles of mere deification which are given to her, and the division of all offices of piety to mankind, betwixt the Mother and the Son? How had their ears glowed to hear Christus oravit, Franciseus exoravit ; Christ prayed, Francis prevailed! How would they have brooked that which Ludovicus Vives freely confesses, Multi Christiani, &c. ; Many Christians worship divor divasque, the saints of both sexes, no otherwise than God himself? Or that which Spalatensis professes to have observed, that ' the ignorant multitude are carried with more entire religious affection to the blessed Virgin, than to Christ their Saviour.' These foul supersLitions are not more hei nous than new." It might have been thought that there was no room for difference between Hall and the Tract-writers upon the sub ject of transubstantiation, which of course they as well as he abjure ; and yet very remarkable is the difference of argu ment in which they address themselves to speak of it. But we have no space left for quotation, otherwise we could easily show that eve❑ where they agree with Bishop Hall, they do not do so upon the grounds of " undoubted Protestantism." We return to the Bishop of Calcutta. May his lordship be long spared to see the labour of the Lord prosper in his hand ; and may our beloved church, through the Divine mercy, be preserved, not only from avowed enemies, but from those who, eating her bread, are sapping her foundations, and, alas ! we fear, perilling the salvation of many souls. * We might have added the epithet " Roman;" for though, in the heading of Hall's Lecture, the word " Romish" occurs, it is not in the sense of distinguishing between tradition as professed by the Church of Rome, and tradition as contended for by the Oxford Tract writers; but in the general sense of making the doctrine of authoritative tradition a Romish doc trine. Hall contends, clearly and decisively, against tradi tion, whether as a rule without scripture, or a "joint rule" with it. "It is not to be imagined," he says, " that the same word of God, which speaks for all other truths, should not speak for itself. How fully doth it display its own sufficiency and perfection." lie goes on to refute the notion that it is " profitable for doctrine," &c., but not " sufficient" without tradition. It is sufficient, he says, for the teacher; " and that which can perfect the teacher, is sufficient for the learn er." The Oxford Tract writers say that we misrepresent them, by making them advocate Romish traditions, whereas they only advocate apostolical or catholic traditions. But this is not a correct statement. What we do say is, that any reference to tradition as authority, is Romish, even though the matter to be proved he apostolical. We do not, nor did Bishop Hall, make the Oxford Tract distinction about Ro mish and Apostolical. He expressly argues that our Saviour forbad reliance upon tradition as authority, whatever might be its character or subject-matter. " Our Saviour's chal lenge," he says, " is general ; to traditions thus advanced, not to these or those traditions." We repeat, therefore, that if the Oxford extract, in using the word Roman, means thereby to keep an opening for what it calls catholic tradi tion, it opposes Hall, who says, " Our Saviour never meant to compare one tradition with another, as approving some, rejecting others ; but with indignation complains, that tra ditions were obtruded on God's people, in a corrivalty with the written word, which is the very point now questioned." RUSSIAN ENCROACHMENTS. Before the reign of Peter the Great, Moscow was unknown to Europe ; Russia possessed not a single point upon the shores of the Baltic ; she was hemmed in by Turkey, then a formidable power, by Poland, as yet inviolate, by Sweden a vigorous enemy. Peter the Great was well aware that to strengthen his em pire and increase its extent its outskirts must be bathed by the sea. Upon this principle it was that he constructed the city of Newa upon a territory wrested by his arms from Swe den. The manner in which it was peopled is already known. He laid the foundation of that system of policy which prompted successively the invasion of Poland, Turkey, Sweden, and Persia. Romanows were not wanting to profit by the les sons of Peter. He was the first to meddle with the affairs of Poland, and a few years later Catherine placed the crown of that country upon the head of one of her numerous lovers. In 1772 she took her share in the first dismemberment, and appropriated Courland to herself into the bargain. Again in 1792 she participated in the benefits arising from a second dismemberment. At the present day Russia is bounded to the west by Prussia and Austria; Poland no longer exists. Although Turkey was not one of the first to be attacked, she nevertheless was stripped of some of the best of her Eu ropean possessions by the indefatigable and insatiable suc cessors of Peter the Great. It is awful to reflect, but not the less true, that Russia (lid not commence her encroachments upon Turkey until about the middle of the last century, and within that short intervening period she has extended her limits to the Pruth, invaded Servia, Moldavia, and Walla chia ; acquired a portion of Armenia, and the Turkish for tresses of (4eorgia, and obtained not long since from Mahmoud the exclusive privilege of the navigation of the Black Sea, and, to crown all, she commands the councils of his suc cessor. _ _ From Sweden the grasping power of Russia has wrested Finland and Eastern Bothnia ; and her maritime territory now extends, on the north side, from the bottom of the Gulf of Bothnia to beyond the Niemen. In the direction of Persia, she has possessed herself of the exclusive navigation of the Caspian Sea; from this sea she has advanced to the west and to the east, as far as the Khanat of Erivan, which she has occupied since the treaty of 1828, and even to the south of the Gulf of Balcan. With the incontestible evidence of so rapid and gigantic conquests recorded indelibly on every map and geographical work, who can for a moment doubt of the ambitious projects of Russia, not merely upon Constantinople, for that is be yond all doubt, but with respect to India, as also of her ca pability of carrying them into execution ? Sufficient atten tion has not as yet been paid, nor can too much be said, with respect to the grandeur, skill, and perseverance of the policy adopted by the Czars from the time of Peter the Great to the present—a policy connecting everything by an indissoluble chain, and which makes everything tend to the same object. Russia finds herself impelled by the force of events to be come a great maritime power of the first class ; the waters of the Baltic could no longer suffice for her navy, and to increase her influence in the Black Sea, the possession of Constanti nople was indispensable. Her armies have already encamped under the walls of that city ; she only waits a fitting oppor tunity of descending once more into the plains of Adrianople; and should this occur she will not stand still there, but will push onwards to that city so much coveted by Napoleon, and hold perpetual possession of it. This was the prediction of Napoleon. Once mistress of Constantinople, Russia would extend her power along the Asiatic shores of the Bosphorus. Persia, which she has coveted for the last 40 years, must finally be come her prey, and, that once pounced on, she will be next door to British India. A Russian expedition will then be seen traversing that empire, and arriving, in a short period, at the confines of Hindostan, aided, no doubt, in their en terprise, by the natives themselves, tired of the English yoke. All this looks like a romance when viewed upon the map ; but when Peter the Great laid the first stone of St. Peters burgh, in 1703, what would have been thought of the judg ment of any one who had predicted that the successors of the carpenter of Saradam would arrive at that pitch of power which they have obtained? According to the designs of the Czars, St. Petersburgh is but a temporary capital, the permanent one being Constanti nople. With regard to the difficulties and obstacles in the way of a Russian army on its route from Constantinople to British In dia, they have been greatly exaggerated: Napoleon, who had always in his mind an expedition against the rich empire of Indostan, bad the road carefully examined, as well as the re sources it offered, and the obstacles likely to be met with, and he traced, almost step by step, the march of a Franco- Muscovite army of 70,000 men, starting from the shores of the Black Sea to traverse those distant regions. These explora tions formed the principal object of the embassy of Gardanne. Moreover the Russians would have the choice of two roads. If they were unwilling to follow that pointed out by Napo leon, they could follow the eastern shore of the Caspian Sea, and the foot of the Ural mountains. Supposing that the accomplishment of this vast project does not take place until long after our times, as must be the case, Russia will sooner or later carry it into execution when events in Europe afford leisure, and if she does not find the French strongly established upon the Nile and the Euphrates. Russian policy must always have a conquering tendency ; with her, one expedition will succeed to another. There can be no cessation nor repose. The Czars must keep up constant warfare so as to employ an active nobility, half subjugated inhabitants, and that mass of people, half savages, which forms the heterogeneous population of the Russian empire. Upon this principle we can account for the prolonged maintenance of the statu quo in the east, offering, as it does to Russia, an opening to the conquest of Constantinople, and, perhaps, subsequently to the banks of the Indus. As we before said, this event may not take place for a long pe riod ; but in the government of a people, and especially of a people like the French, events should be foreseen and pre pared for, not only year by year, but century by century, if necessary. In the anticipation or possibility of an event of this kind, the press cannot be too zealous in stimulating the cabinet of the Tuileries to continue to support the pretensions of Me hemet Ali. This may not only obtain for France an advan tageous commercial treaty, and a market for her various ar ticles and manufactures, but, perhaps, open to her the com merce and sceptre of the world. Russia objects to the basis of the statu quo, as laid down by France, fearing that the latter country might secure foot ing in the east, and throw obstacles in the way of Russian aggrandisement. England rejects the statu quo upon prin ciples still more exclusive. The great question or object at the present moment is to establish French influence and civilisation in Egypt. At a later period, when France decides upon breaking the treaties of 1815, by getting rid of the shackles of dynastic policy, she will find it by no means difficult to block up the road which the Russians would take to Constantinople. She will force the colossus to deploy the wings of his arrnies,so as, to cover the centre. Ancient Poland, Moldavia, Walachia, Servia, the inhabitants of Caucasus, &c., revolted at the instigation of France, and waking common Ms. with her, would 190 A deprive Russia if not of the will, at least of the leisure re• quired for such distant conquests. The present policy of the French government can at the utmost only accomplish the first part of this task—prepare the occupation of Egypt ; the second—to establish her power there and prevent the occupation of Constantinople—is re served for a policy founded upon other principles, and put into action by arms more vigorous than those of our states men.—National. THE CORN LAWS. (From the Morning Herald.) The opponents of the corn laws are busied in descoting on the gloomy prospects of our trade, and in seeking to con nect the evils that impend over our commerce, with the ope ration of that system which prevents the English agricultu rist from being supplanted in English markets by the foreign corn grower. The Sun of Thursday night observes : " We perceive with regret, by the accounts from Man chester, that the markets continue unfavourable, and that prices are falling, and the prospects of the manufacturers are becoming more gloomy. Notwithstanding the momentary abundance of money in the city, there is a general impression that prices will fall still lower, which deepens the gloom. To us the apprehension of a fall in prices, as abounding in evil, seems very strange, and of itself to indicate that some erroneous principle is at the bottom of our political and com mercial relations. * * " The presumed exception we have mentioned to the gene ral law seems to us to supply a solution of what now appears almost an enigma. The manufacturer or the agriculturist can only be prevented from injuring himself by his laudable endeavours to clothe and feed men cheaply, by finding a con tinually extending demand for his produce. Such a demand can only be the consequence of a continual increase of popu lation. The only source, according to the economists, of a tendency of prices to rise, is the increase of people, and that increase is stopped, —cut off by the barbarous law which, in one country, cuts short the supply of food, and stops its in definite increase, and in another diverts industry from pro ducing cheap food to producing dear clothing and cutlery. The laws which prevent the increase of food in England and on the continent of Europe, are the causes by which the fall of price, which the producer labours to effect, become ruinous to himself. "The intention of those who make these barbarous laws is to counteract, so far as the cost of producing cloth and cut lery on the continent, and corn in England, is concerned, the laws of nature to which we have adverted. They wish to keep up the cost of producing corn here, and cotton and cutlery there, and prevent that fall in prices which the ingenuity and skill of the great bulk of the human race are continually en deavouring to effect. Their policy is as short-sighted as it is wicked." _ `• The " wish to keep up the cost of corn," on the one hand, and of " cotton and cutlery," on the other, is a wish most beneficial in its tendencies and in its operation. The classes who produce corn, and cotton, and cutlery, have an obvious interest in keeping the prices of their respective products high ; and all the other orders of producers have precisely the same interest—inasmuch as the influences which suffice to keep up the price of cutlery . and cotton, and corn, sustain the prices of all the other products of industry. The whole body of producers have a common interest in high prices. The " tall in prices" to which our contemporary ad verts, is a result that can be advantageous only to the moneyed classes, end to idle consumers. Every general fall in prices adds to the power of money, and to the enjoyments of the idle. Every general fall in prices tends, on the contrary, to depress the whole order of producers—that order, for whose benefit, in an especial manner, it is desirable that all legisla tion should be devised. In virtue of the fact, that the corn laws tend to keep up the general level of prices, the corn laws are entitled in an especial manner to the support of all who desire that labour should receive a fair reward. EXTRACTS FROM HUME'S HISTORY OF JAMES THE SECOND, DESERVING OF PUBLIC ATTENTION AT TIIE PRESENT CRISIS OF PARTIES AND OPINIONS. " The first act of James's reign was to assemble the privy council, when, after some praises bestowed on the memory of his predecessor, he made professions of his resolution to maintain the established government both in church and state." _ " The King, however, in the first exercise of his authority, showed that either he was not sincere in his professions of attachment to the laws, or that he had entertained so lofty an idea of his own legal power, that even his utmost since rity would tend very little to secure the liberties of the people." " The King, likewise, went openly, and with all the ensigns of his dignity, to mass, an illegal meeting, and by this im prudence he displayed at once his arbitrary disposition and the bigotry of his principles—those two great characteristics of his reign, and bane of his administration." " Is it not the custom in Spain,' said James to the Spa- nish ambassador, for the King to consult with his con fessor?" Yes,' replied the ambassador; and it is for that very reason our affairs succeed so ill.' " " On all occasions the King was open in declaring that men must now look for a more active and more vigilant go vernment, and that he would retain no ministers who did not practise an unreserved obedience to his commands." " It must be confessed that no parliament in England was ever placed in a more critical situation, nor when more for cible arguments could be urged, either for their opposition to the court or their compliance with it." " Then Coke, the member for Derby, rose up and said— ' I hope we are all Englishmen, and not to be frightened with a few hard words,' so little spirit appeared in that assem bly, often so refractory and mutinous, that they sent him to the Tower for bluntly expressing a free and generous senti ment." " The next opposition came from the House of Peers, which has not commonly taken the lead on these occasions, and even from the bishops, where the court usually expects the greatest complaisance and submission."--" Compton, Bishop of London, in his own name and that of his brethren, moved that a day should be appointed for taking the King's speech into consideration. Jefferies, the chancellor, opposed. The Bishop of London's speech prevailed." " The smallest approach towards the introduction of po pery must, in the present disposition of the people, have af forded reason of jealousy, much more so wide a step as that of dispensing with the tests, the sole security which the na tion, being disappointed of the Exclusion Bill, found pro vided against those dreaded innovations." - " Four catholic lords were brought into the privy council." —" The King was open, as well as zealous, in the desire of making converts, and men plainly saw that the only way to acquire his affection and confidence was by a sacrifice of their religion." But it was in Ireland chiefly that the mask was wholly taken off, and that the King thought himself at liberty to proceed to the full extent of his zeal and his violence. The Duke of Ormond was recalled, and though the Primate and Lord Granard, two protestants, still possessed the authority of justices, the whole power was lodged in the hands of Tal bot, the general, soon after created Earl of Tyrconnell, a man, who, from the blindness and fury of his temper, was transported with the most immesureable ardour for the ca tholic cause" " All judicious persons of the catholic communion were disgusted with these violent measures, and could easily have foreseen the consequences. But James was entirely governed by the rash councils of the Queen, and his confessor, Father Peters, a Jesuit, whom he soon after created a privy coun cillor." " The church commenced an opposition to court measures, and popery was now acknowledged the more immediate danger." " James issued his proclamation, suspending all the penal laws in ecclesiastical affairs, and granting a general liberty of conscience to all his subjects." " In order to procure a better reception for his edict of toleration, the King, finding himself opposed by the church, began to pay court to the dissenters, and he imagined that, by playing one party against the other, he should easily ob tain the victory,—a refined policy, which it much exceeded his capacity to conduct. His intentions were so obvious, that it was impossible for him ever to gain the sincere confi dence or regard of the non-conformists. They knew that the genius of their religion was diametrically opposite to that of the catholics," &c. " Yet such was the pleasure reaped from present ease,—such the animosity of dissenters against the church, who had so long subjected them to the rigours of persecution, that they everywhere expressed the most entire duty to the King, and compliance with his measures, and could not forbear rejoicing extremely in the present depres sion of their adversaries." " But what afforded the most alarming prospect was the continuance, and even increase, of the violent and precipitate conduct of affairs in Ireland. Tyrconnell was now vested with full authority, and carried over with him, as chancellor, one Fittors, a man who was taken from a gaol, and who had been convicted of forgery and other crimes, but who com pensated for all his enormities by a headlong zeal for the ca tholic religion. He was even heard to say from the bench, that the protestants were all rogues, and that there was not one amongst forty thousand that was not a traitor, a rebel, and a villain. The whole strain of his administration was suitable to such sentiments. The catholics were put in pos session of the council table, of the courts of junicature, and of the bench of justice. In order to make them masters of parliament, the same violence was exercised that had been practised in England." " The church party, by whom the crown had hitherto been so remarkably supported, and to whom the King visibly owed his safety from all the efforts of his enemies, was de prived of authority, and the dissenters, those very enemies, were, first in London, and afterwards in every other corpo ration, substituted in their place." " The catholics, to whom he had entirely devoted himself, were scarcely the hundredth part of the people. Even the protestant nonconformists, whom he so much courted, were little more than the twentieth, and what was worse, reposed no confidence in the unnatural alliance contracted with Ca tholics, and in the principle of toleration, which, contrary to their usual practice in all ages, seemed, at present, to be adopted by that sect." " Nothing now remained but to open the door in the church and universities to the intrusion of the catholics. It was not long before the King made this rash effort, and by constrain ing the prelacy and the established church to teak protec tion in the principles of liberty, heat last left himself entirely without friends and adherents. " Six prelates—viz. Lloyd, Bishop of St. Asaph ; Kerr, of Bath and Wells; Turner, of Ely; Lake, of Chichester; White, of Peterborough; and Trelawney, of Bristol, met privately with the _primate, and concerted the form of a peti tion to the King." " He struck out two of the judges who had appeared to favour the bishops. He issued orders to prosecute all those clergymen who had not read his declaration—that is, the whole church of England, two hundred excepted. Ile sent a mandate to the new fellows, whom lie had obtruded on Magdalen College, to elect for president in room of Parker, lately deceased, one Clifford, a doctor of the Sorbonne, and titular Bishop of Madeira, and he was even said to have no minated the same person to the see of Oxford." " His eyes were now opened, and he found himself on the brink of a frightful precipice, which his delusions bad hitherto concealed from him. His ministers, equally astonished, saw no resource but in a sudden and precipitate retraction of all those fatal measures by which he had created to himself so many enemies." He replaced the lieutenants and justices —he restored the charters—he annulled the ecclesiastical commission—he took off the Bishop of London's suspension —he reinstated the president and fellows of Magdalen College—" he was even reduced to caress those bishops whom he had so lately persecuted and insulted."

Sabbath Profanation and Intemperance: or a Depraved Population, a Distracted Country, and an Offended God, loud calls to National Repentance. A sermon, preached at Halton, by the Rev. R. Tweddell. Liverpool. Perris. 1859. We feel quite assured that no nation can continue to prosper, or can contain within itself the elements of true happiness, if the Lord's Day be openly neglected, and the Sabbatical Ordinance of God despised. To this cause may be attributed the gradual downfal of the Jewish nation, as set forth in the stringent exhortations and awful warnings of the prophets ; and this neglect of the Lord's Day prepared them for every other sin towards God, and crime to their felloW man. Now we believe this to be true with regard to Christendom, for all times ; and we fearlessly point to the na tion that has forsaken this sacred ordinance of the Omnipotent for a proof, that national degradation and-decay follow inevitably in the wake of national indifference towards the Sabbath. We are firmly convinced, that were every great landowner, manufacturer, master, or any other in authority, to make a fixed rule, that they would have no tenant, artificer, mechanic, or servant, who did not go to some place of wor ship every Sunday, and was no drunkard ; were this, we say, made an absolute rule, we have no doubt that the necessity for a rural, if not an urban, police, would in a great measure cease ; and such a happy revolution take place in our land, that we should verify abundantly the devout thanksgiving of the Psalmist. " Happy is that people that is in such a case, yea, happy is that people whose God is the Lord !" These thoughts have been forced upon our attention by the excellent discourse, the title of which is at the head of these. observations ; and which has been published in accordance with the expressed wishes of Sir Richard Brooke, and other members of the congregation. PRIMITIVE CHRISTIANITY. (From the London Record.) The author of Ancient Christianity has published the third number of his work ; and we think it our duty to call to it the attention of our readers. Our previous notices of the former numbers are remembered, we have no doubt, by most of those who peruse our columns. The favourable opinion we have expressed of this performance is more than confirmed by the present number; and we entertain a strong confidence, that thd remainder of his work will be altogether worthy of what has already been published. The misapprehensions that have long prevailed respecting the primitive Church, will, we trust, be at length effectually and wholly removed. The exorbitant and unfounded notions, entertained of its orthodoxy and purity, have long proved ex tremely injurious to the interest and progress of scriptural truth, and have occasioned most of the discords and dissen sions in our Church since the Reformation. The deference paid to the pristine Fathers has often led many to sanction views and practices wholly unauthorized by Scripture. , The false idea, that they retained and handed down to posterity some things not recorded by the apostles, has no doubt gene rated this deference ; and what has confirmed it, has been the high notion entertained of their purity and abstraction from the world. Let our views on these two points be rec tified, and then the deference, rightly due to the Fathers, will be reduced to its proper measure and proportion. And we know of no work more calculated to set us right on these points than the one now under our consideration. The present number embraces several particulars connected with " the ascetic institue," the bane of the early Church, the overflowing spring from which emanated the most turbid and the most polluting streams. It is shown what celibacy is, according to the New Testament, and that it is quite another thing from what the Fathers made it. The most sa tisfactory evidence is adduced to prove, that the ascetic sys tem includes the particulars constituting the apostasy pre dicted by St. Paul in 1 Tim. iv. The extent of the system, and the sanction given to it by the early Fathers, are deline ated and clearly proved, and also the partial opposition made to it by some reformers even in the Nicean age. Its charac ter is there developed, as dealing in dreams, visions, and lying tales. Its effects also on the monks, on Christians in general, and on the clergy, are very ably and clearly de sFribed. And, lastly, its connexion . ith ritual notions and practices, is proved—and proved by such reasons and argu ments, as must satisfy all who are capable of understanding them and of appreciating their strength and solidity. It is curious to observe how some of the errors of the pris tine Church originated in, or rather, how they were deft nded Ly Scripture. Some portions were adduced, separated from the context, and unrestricted by the modifications included sometimes even in the passages themselves. Our author mentions particularly, two cases of this kind—celibacy and martyrdom. The motive, and the restriction, and the de sign, were wholly lost sight of by the Nicene doctors, though some of these were to be found in the passages which were referred to on the points. There is an if as to celibacy, which was unheeded—" if any man is able to receive it." And as to martyrdom, the fleeing " to another city," when practicable, was commonly deemed a denying of the faith. In both instances the Scripture rule was disregarded, and another was introduced. And thus a door was opened to much that was enthusiastic, fanatical, and superstitious. The marked difference between modern and ancient martyrdom is thus noticed and accounted for by our author : " Why have not our Protestant y preachers been used to spend their choicest rhetoric upon the commemorations of the martyrs of Protestantism ? why is it that a very little of this sort of declamation has been felt to be more than enough ? why have we seen uo pilgrimages to the spots where our Eng lish worthies suffered ? why have we not been used to en treat, for ourselves and the Church, the all-prevailing advo cacy (patrcinium) of Latimer, and Ridley, and Hooper, in the heavens? why have no miracles been wrought by their rescued finger-bones or teeth? why do not our churches boast of bottles of the blood and locks of the hair of our mar tyrs? No such things have been done or tolerated in the Protestant Church, simply because the Protestant Church has understood something of the first principles of Chris tianity, and has in the main been not merely Orthodox but Lvangelic; and has, therefore, abhorred the practices and scorned the sentiments, which were in universal esteem in the Nicene Church."—P. 280. We add the following passage, and view the sentiment it contains strictly correct : " It cannot be necessary in this place to describe what has so often found a place in modern church histories, namely" — first the enthusiasm, then the fanaticism, and then the un bounded superstitions, which were connected with, and which utterly spoiled, the otherwise noble constancy of the ancient church. To say all in a word, the sufferings of the second and third centuries became, the curse and the ruin of the fourth and the fifth. And so •it was, that the enemy, who had altogether been foiled in his rage, tritunphedin his craft." —P. 280. It is a mistake to suppose that the pristine Church sup ported its views and practices commonly or mainly by tradi tion. The alleged foundation was Scripture: and it was by isolated passages and a capricious mode of interpretation, that its errors were iticnicated and &fended. The wily enemy, having failed to des : troy the authority of the Divine word, succeeded early, to an enormous extent, in leading the rulers of the Church to adopt his own way of misapplying and preventing it. No modern enthusiasts have at any time been more led astray in this respect than ,some of the early Fathers. Let us listen to our author on This point: It is even now asked by some Did not the ascetic sys tem support itself by an appeal to some, ? Yes,:—and so has every, superstition of the Papacy,—and so did the enormities of the Donatists —and so the atrocities of the fanatics of Munster ; so the lawless bloodshed and cruelty of the Crusades,—so the horrors of the Inquisition,—and so (to return to our point) the enthusiasm of martyrdom. But in all such cases, how specious soever may be the plea of the deluded party, a simple course, clearing every difficulty, is open to us. Let but the great principle of the Gospel bare "stored to their place in the heads and hearts of Christians, and then the practical misinterpretation of single texts is at once obviated ; for not merely are such misinterpretations then seen to be opposed to the spirit and tendency of the New Testatnent ; but, as they severally spring from modes of feeling, which will not consist with genuine Evangelic feel ing, they, in fact, find no place where better motives are in vigour. A man whose mind is fraught with Apostolic senti ments, will neither adore a relic—nor worship the image of a saint—nor pray to the Virgin —nor burn a heretic—nor offer himself to be hurned—nor drive spikes into his sides—nor, if he be unmarried, will he call himself, or allow himself to be called, a terrestrial seraph. All these follies and enormi ties, whether sustained (ostensibly) by many texts or by few, belong to darkened souls and to a diuk age."—P. 281. We must confess, that according to our author, the religi ous and moral state of the Nicene Church was considerably worse than we ever conceived it to have been. But we see no reason to doubt the correctness of his statements. His proofs fully justify his assertions. His evidence is wholly commensurate with what he advances ; and lf.s facts suffici ently and satisfactorily confirm his reasonings. The depar ture from the faith on many material points, which had then taken place, was truly and awfully great, and very little short in some things, of what Popery is in the present day. The ascetic system—including the doctrine and practice of vir ginity, celibacy and monkery—had, to a great extent, con verted the apostolic religion, the religion of the Bible, into sheer Heathenism. The leading doctrines of the Gospel were, indeet', retained ; but they were incrustated with principles and practices that were wholly heathen in their origin. And this deteriorated Church, whose apostacy in many respects had advanced to an awful extent, is what the wise men of Oxford are now attempting to resuscitate. Were their ef forts snccessful, no greater evil could be brought on this land. That some are helping on this evil work, through ig norance we are inclined to admit. But the main cause is to be found in wrong and defective views as to true and vital religion, eombined with love for pre-eminence and a super stitious spirit. May the genuine religion of the Bible nourish, and then we are safe.

WYNNSTAY. — The anniversary of the natal day of Sir W. W. Wynn, Bart., will be celebrated on Monday neat, on which occasion covers will be laid at Wynn stay for 250 guests. In the evening a splendid ball and sup per will take place. As a sample of the sort of hospitality the Wynns of Wynnstay have been addicted to, we give the following bill of fare provided for the festival in honour of the coming of age of Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, father of the present respected baronet, on April 19th, 1770, on which occa,ion it was believed that there were at one time at least 15,000 persons taking refreshment in the park at Wynnstay —3O bullocks, 1 ditto roasted whole, 50 hogs, 50 calves, 80 sheep, 18 lambs, 70 pies, 50 guinea tbwls, 37 turkeys, 12 turkey poults, 84 capons, 25 pea fowls, 300 chickens, 360 fowls, 96 ducks, 48 rabbits, 15 snipes, 1 leveret, 5 bubks, 421 lbs. of salmon, 30 brace of tench, 40 ditto of carp, 36 pike, 60 dozen of trout, 108 flounders, 109 lobsters, 96 crabs, 10 quarts of shrimps, 200 craw fish, 60 barrels of pickled oysters, 1 hogshead of rock ditto, 20 quarts of oysters for sauce, 166 hams, 169 tongues, 125 plum puddings, 108 apple pies, 104 pork pies, 30 beef pies, 34 rice puddings, 7 venison pies, 60 raised pies, 80 tarts, 30 pieces of cut pastry, 24 pound cakes, 20 Savoy cakes, 39 sweet cakes, 12 backs of bacon, 144 ice creams, 1,300 eggs, 150 gallons of milk, 60 quarts of cream, 50 bushels of potatoes, 1,000 asparagus, 200 French beans, 3 dishes of gre en p eas , 12 cucum b er s, 70 hogsheads of ale, 129 dozens of wine, brandy, and shrub ; rock work, shapes, land scapes, blancmouge, and a great quantity of small pastry ; one large cask of ale, holding 26 hogsheads. — ln little more than a year his son and heir apparent, worthy scion of this ancient family, will attain his majority, when probably the present generation will have an opportunity of witnessing the sumptu ous and truly British mode in which events of the kind have heretofore been celebrated.—Chester Chronicle. SOMNAMBULISM.—Negretti, an Italian servant, whose ce lebrated history is related by two different physicians, would rise in his sleep, go into the dining-room, spread a table for dinner, and place himself behind a chair, as if waiting on his master. When in this place with which he was not perfectly acquainted, he was embarrassed in his proceedings, and felt about him with his hands; and sometimes he struck himself against the wall and was severely injured. He sometimes carried about with him a candle, as if to give him light ; but when it was taken away, and a bottle put in its place, he failed to perceive the difference. Galen says of himself that he once walked about in his sleep, till awakened by stumbling against a stone which, lay in his way. _ Thus it appears that the long-conti n ued habit of performing certain operations en able the individual, with the aid of feeling alone , to repeat them in his sleep,—Medical Jurisprudence of Insanity.

CATMERINE'S DOCKS.--The rat, must certainly he looked upon as the heaviest and most expensive depredator, subsisting on corn, particularly on wheat. Cats are kept in the St. Catherine Docks, London, to destroy the rats, which previously to this mode of insurance, made havoc amongst the sugars deposited, to a vast annual amount. The annual expense of this plan is £lO4. The cats' meat is bought by contract, and two men are allowed to attend and feed them. They are fed in the morning at six, and in the evening at nine o'clock. A proprietor, it seems, some time since, took a fancy to one of the cats, a great 'beauty and famous vermin-killer, and would have it, much against the inclination of the attendants. It was ac cordingly trapped ; and the gentleman himself undertaking the perilous attempt to lay hold and release it, the cat flew at him most ferociously, intlicting very severe wound on his face, and then escaped.-- The Poultry Yard. WINTER MANAGEMENT OF THE DAHLIA.—We have more than once had occasion to speak of the cultivation of this splendid flower. The facility with which it is propagated, as well as well-known beauty of the plant, must always render it a decided favourite. It now blooms the brightest gem in the parterre ; and a more splendid, or a greater acquisiion to any collection of plants, is not at present known in the annals of floriculture. To those, therefore, who admire the dahlia, any remarks calculated to improve its cultivation, or enhance its worth, will no doubt prove ac ceptable. The object at present aimed at, however, is the preservation of the root during the winter season. As the roots of this plant are seriously injured, and not unfrequently killed, if they are once suffered to be affected by the frost, it becomes indispensably necessary that means be employed to prevent its ingress to the place in which they are kept, and at the same time to prevent the roots from shrivelling, and protect the vital principle. To accomplish this requires the exercise of care and skill on the part of the cultivator. The plan we adopt, though at variance with general practices, has never yet disappointed our expectations ; it is as follows : When the stems are destroyed by frost, they should be cut down and removed; but the roots should be left in the ground, as experience proves that the roots so disposed of produce their flowers much earlier in the succeeding season than if they were taken up and preserved in a house. To prevent the frost from injuring the roots, they should be covered all winter with coal ashes, saw dust, or dung, sufficiently thick to prevent the frost from from incrusting the ground beneath. In order to prevent their becoming too bulky in the plant—a circumstance which follows this practice, all the shoots, as they come up, must be pruned off, except one or two, according to circumstances ; and this pruning should he continued during their whole growth, so as to model them into any size or from that may be required. By adopting this plan, as we have just observed, excellent and very early flowers may be obtained—otherwise, it is of little consequence where they are kept during the winter, so that they be dry, and secured from frost.—Weekly paper. 01)ipping intrittgurr.

Our receipts of British Grain, &c. continue small, and the week's arrivals from abroad are comprised in 2800 quarters of Wheat, 500 quarters of Oats, 630 quarters of Peas, and 3,800 barrels of Flour, the latter from the United States. 3,360 quarters of Foreign Wheat and 7,400 barrels of Flour have been duty paid : the rate of im post has now, however, advanced to 16s 8d per quarter, which, it is most probable, will not be paid.
