lioetrp. EARTH'S CHANGES. BY MRS. SIGOURNEY. As waves the grass upon the field to-dLy, Which soon the wasting scythe shall sweep away, As smiles the flowret in the morning dew, Which eve's chill blast upon the winds may strew, Thus in brief glory boast the sons of clay, Thus bloom a while, then wither and decay. Dust tends to dust,—with ashes, ashes blend, • The senseless turf conceals the buried friend : A few may sigh upon the grave's dark brink, A few salt tears the broken soil may drink, A few sad hearts in loneiy sorrow bleed, And pay that tribute which they soon must need. I saw the infant in i is robe of w hit e , Its doating mothers ever dear delight, It clapp'd its hands when toms of mirth went by, And nature's gladness glistened in its eye : Again I came ! An empty crib was there, A little coffin, and a funeral prayer. I saw a ruddy boy, of vigour bold, Who fear'd not summer's heat nor winter's cold, With dexterous heel he skimm'd the frozen pool, His laugh rang loudest 'mid his mates at school— Again I sought him, but his name was found On the low stone that marks yon church-yard mound, Oh ! boasted joys of earth ! how swift ye fly, Rent from the hand, or hidden from the eye ; So through the web the weaver's shuttle glides, So speeds the vessel o'er the billowy tides, So cleaves the bird the liquid fields of light, And leaves no furrirw of its trackless flight. But we, frail beings, shrinking from the storm, We love these skiz2s that gathering clouds deform ; Though wounded oft, as oft renew our toil, To rear our fabric on this sand-swept soil, And still we strive, forgetful of the grave, To fix our anchor on the tossing wave. Yet he, who marks us in our vain career, Oft shows how frail is what we hold most dear, Spreads o'er some face beloved the deathful gloom, Or hides a parent in the lonely tomb, Arrests the thoughtless, bids the worlding feel, Wounds to admonish, and afflicts to heal. Look to that world, where every pain shall cease, Grief turn to joy, and labour end in peace. Oh! seek that world, by penitence and prayer, Sow the seed here, and reap the fruitage there, Where shadowy joys no longer cheat the soul, But one unclouded year in changeless light shall roll. LITERARY 'NOTICES. The Earthquake that occurred on the Island of Juan Fernandez and Takahuana, in the Year 1835. Lon don: Longman, Orme, and Co. 1839. This is a very interesting account of the appalling phenomenon of an earthquake, from the pen of an eye witness, the late Governor of Juan Fernandez, Sut cliffe. The account which he gives of the awful event does not bear out the exaggerated descriptions furnished some time ago, which went even so far as to assert that the island itself had disappeared. The work is illus trated by several excellent lithographic engravings. In an appendix Mr. Sutcliffe has entered into a minute statement of particulars, respecting the insurrection, which took place subsequently to the earthquake, and in which Mr. Sutcliffe himself was a great sufferer. He has completely refuted the charges brought against him in the Nautical Magazine. This vindication is, in our opinion, quite triumphant. Wilson's Tales of the Borders and of Scotland. No. 64. Edinburgh : Sutherland. We are again in possession of a fresh number of this interestingseries of fi ctions, which, judging f rom the novelty of its contents, promises to last for years to come. We speak sincereiy when we say that we believe the public will regret its discontinuance. This number contains several tales of considerable merit, among which we would particularly enumerate those of " Mr. Samuel Ramsay Thriven ; a Tale of Love and Bankruptcy,"—" The Barley Bannock,"—and " The Smuggler's Son." The Poultry-Yard: a Practical View of the best Me thod of Selecting, Rearing, and Breeding the various Species of Domestic. Fowl. By Peter Boswell. Glasgow : W. R. M‘Phun. 1839. The cui bono philosophers cannot but admire the zeal and perseverance with which Mr. M‘Phun brings forward so many works containing practical elucida tions of the every-day business of life. His admirable publications on " The Horse, the Dog, and the Cow" —" Blacklock on Sheep"—" Advice t 6 Purchasers of Horses"—and his numerous " Guides," domestic and commercial, have already obtained very great and de served celebrity. The work before us will be found equally valuable. It contains a careful digest of use ful information respecting poultry-yards and sheds— kinds and breeds of fowls—feeding of poultry—pair ing, laying, and hatching—breeding—peculiar sorts of fowls—aquatic fowl - ---and diseases of poultry. It is decidedly the best work on the subject we have ever met with. A General Outline of the Animal Kingdom, and Manual of Comparative Anatomy. By Thos. Rymer Jones, F.Z.S. Illustrated by numerous Engravings on Wood. Part 7. London : John Van Voorst. Our interest in this admirable work increases as it proceeds. The illustrations which it contains are most elaborately and beautifully executed, exhibiting in de tail the minutest developments of animal structure. The present part continues and concludes the Insecta, which has proved one of the most interesting portions of the work. The chapter on the Arachnida, or spider tribe, is also exceedingly instructive. The part con cludes with the Crustacea, which is a very numerous class. No lover of natural history should be without this excellent manual. An Account of Some Experiments made for the purpose of Ascertaining how far Voltaic Electricity may be usefully applied to the purpose of Working in Metal. By Thomas Spencer. Liverpool : Mitchell and Co. 1839. This pamphlet contains the substance of a paper read before the Liverpool Polytechnic Society on a subject of first-rate importance—the application of vol taic electricity to "the purpse of working iu metal. Mr. Spencer seems to have been very successful in his experiments. lie has produced, by the process de scribed in this pamphlet, a highly finished engraving on a block of copper, similar to a wood-cut. This dis covery, of which Mr. Spencer very justly claims the priority, promises to effect a complete revolution in the art of printing. We refer our readers for an explana tion of the process and an illustration of its results to the pamphlet itself. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE CORN LAWS. (From the Morning Herald.) At the North Essex Conservative and Agricultural Celebration Sir John Tyrrell adverted, with becoming pride, to the beneficial influence which the corn laws exercise, at this moment, on the national prosperity : " Though not a very old man, he was rather an old member of parliament, and it had been often his for tune on the hustings and elsewhere to declare, that if ever the agriculturists should cease to support the corn bill, they would cease to support their own interests and the best of the country. (Hear, hear.) The ob ject of that measure was plenty and security for plenty. (Cheers.) It was not often that it happened to man as it had happened to him--to see it made evident to the senses of all that his predictions were correct. But now those diversities of opinion which formerly existed amongst them were in a great measure reconciled, for they had so recently seen seven millions of hard gold taken out of this country for the purpose of buying foreign corn, that it was vain any longer to attempt keeping up the delusion which the corn-law repeaters had so industriously spread—that the continental states would he but too happy to exchange their corn against our manufactures. (Hear.) It had been proved over and over again that not one of those on the continent had received anything but gold in exchange for the corn which they brought over to this country. They stood on the beach and held out their hands for our sovereigns ; and if the corn laws were repealed, and there were to be a dearth and famine in the land, we should have to melt our spoons, our plate, and our watches, because they would not take a yard of cloth or of flannel in exchange for corn, as long as we could give them gold. (Hear.) Thus it would be seen that not only in supporting the -corn laws they supported their own interests, but also the best interests of the country ; for nothing would be so prejudicial to the ge neral commerce and interests of the country as to de prive it of all its bullion. All the schemes of the free traders had been based upon the argument that the money would be soon returned back to this country and expended in the purchase of our manufactures, and that thus the balance would then be restored to England ; but the events of the last year had suffi ciently shown that they were exceedingly unfortunate in their predictions. Foreigners will not, as experience has shown, take manufactured good in exchange for their corn; and as to the assertion, that the case would be different, if the demand for corn were regular, on our part,—can any sane man believe, that the continential governments will ever, for the sake of supplying a limited foreign demand for corn, consent to destroy the manufacturing system that has taken root throughout the greater part of Europe ? The assumption is preposterous in the extreme. If the corn laws were repealed to-morrow, fo reign corn would still be purchasable, in the greater part, only with gold, as it is now. Sir John Tyrrell has alluded to the delusive anti cipations of the free-trade party, that the gold exported in exchange for corn would immediately find its way back again to England, in exchange for our manufac tures. But Sir John might, farther, have called on the free-traders to explain, how the fact, that the ex portation of gold gives right to commercial distress, may be reconciled with the principles of the free-trade theory ? That theory teaches that gold is only " a commodity ;" and that its exportation or importation affects the prosperity of a country, no otherwise than does the importation or exportation of any other ar ticle ! Such is, we repeat, one of the leading dogmas of the free-trade system. Unless, then, the free-trade system shall be condemned as utterly false, it ought to be maintained by the free-t ra d ers that a large ex portation of gold benefits England, quite as much its a large exportation of cotton kfccAls 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. This Charge is excellent, and full of valuable matter. We find in the Daniel Wilson of Calcutta, the self-same man who nearly forty years ago was commencing his devoted and zea lous career of ministerial usefulness as the curate of his honoured friend Richard Cecil ; and who afterwards at Ox ford, at St. John's, _Bedford-row, and at Islington, was ena bled, by the grace of God, to war a good warfare as a faith ful soldierof Jesus Christ ;—we find, we say, with the weight and experience of mature years, the self-same man, in un wearied diligence, in straight-forward honesty of purpose, in unremitting perseverance, in undaunted boldness and reso lution, all devoted to the glory of God and the salvation of souls ; and connected with, and springing out of, the essential verities of Christ's Holy Gospel, applied to the soul by the transforming power of the Holy Ghost. The preaching and writings of Bishop Wilson have always been characterized, amidst the fluctuating opinions of the times, by a peculiarly close adherence to the spirit and character of the Gospel dis pensation as a combined record of grace and holiness. The cross of Christ—including, in that expressive scriptural phrase, the sacrifice for sin and the ensample of godly life— has ever been his prominent topic ; he has not, in urging it in the one aspect, forgotten its importance in the other; he has not, in preaching salvation by grace through faith, dero gated from the fruits and evidences of faith ; or, while in sisting upon the fruits and evidences, detached them from their source ; extolling a faith which does not lead to sancti fication ; or making sanctification the parent of faith. We should be at a loss to say whether the grace of the - Gospel, or its power; Christ dying for us, or Christ living in us, is most conspicuous in his writings; except that the former is al ways scripturally made the precursor and cause of the latter ; so that while inculcating the duties of the Christian life, no place is given to that monstrous Popish and Oxford Tract perversion of the whole genius of Christianity, that Christ crucified means self-mortified ; that justification is virtually sanctification; and that the Gospel is not—at least after bap tism—hope to the guilty, and shelter to the perishing, when they truly turn to God in Christ, but a covenant of works based upon the condition of not forfeiting the alleged privi leges of baptismal innocence. With respect to the questions between the Church of Eng land and her opponents, Bishop Wilson has exhibited simi lar comprehensiveness of grasp. While gladly exercising ex pansive affection towards all who love the Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity, he has never shrunk from maintaining the scrip tural warrant and practical excellence of that communion in which he is a minister and an overseer. He did this at a time when the spirit of the evangelical dissenters seemed less harsh than it has been of late ; and when they appeared to rejoice in proportion as Christ was preached through the agency of the Church of England ; and he has not receded from his position, because under altered circumstances the love of the churc h is unjustly branded with the names of party spirit and political secularity. But our chief reason for reviewing his Lordship's Charge, is to lay before our readers the substance of his sound and seasonable remarks upon the Oxford Tract doctrines ; or ra ther upon that which forms their basis—namely, the setting forth Tradition as a rule of faith. We have abstained of late from renewing the discussions upon these topics, as we feared we bad overstepped the patience of our readers ; but they have lost none of their importance, and there is still much to say upon them ; and we rejoice in adding a warning voice from India to the salutary monitions which have abounded at home. Of these we have already mentioned many in our former papers. Among the more recent ones, which we have not noticed, the reader will do well to weigh the faithful, lucid, and powerful arguments of the Rev. Prebendary Ben son, Master of the Temple ; an d a l so " N o t t ra diti on b u t Re velation," by Dr. Shuttleworth, Warden of New College, Oxford. The question for examination, says Dr. Shuttle worth, is "Whether we have any reason for supposing that in the Apostolic church, and that which immediately followed, any articles were taught as of Divine authority, independently of those expressly comprehe n d e d i n th e p age of Scripture." He proves the negative of this supposition ; and shews that it was not till long after, that the notion of the authority of tradition in matters of faith became current. If any reader imagines that dependence may be placed upon the Fathers as safe guides, he will do well to correct his mistaken estimate, by turning to the facts adduced by Dr. Shuttleworth. Fuller and more striking disclosures will be found in a work now in the course of publication, entitled " Ancient Christianity, and the Doctrines of the Oxford Tracts, by the Author of Spi ritual Despotism.' " We reserve any remarks which we may have occasion to offer upon this remarkable and original publication, till its completion, as we are far from being sure how the learned and able writer intends to wind up his con clusion ; and he has already disclosed some intimations which we think hear not fairly upon our reformed Anglican commu nion. His chief drift however is to shew how early and widely the superstitious, demoralising, and, we need not add, unscriptural notion of the religious virtue of celibacy spread in the ancient church, and to trace to it most of the errors which corrupted, and the evils which afflicted, it ; and to prove their inseparable connexion, not only with popery, but with the system adopted by the divines of the Oxford Tract school; some of whom have written of the virtues of asteti cism in a spirit akin to that of the most fanatical of the anci ents of their modern followers. To us however it is not pleasing to speak of the mistakes and faults, the superstitions and absurdities, of weak good men of former days ; and thro ug h ou t the whole of our papers upon the practical bearings of the question of Tradition, we have sedulously avoided this exposure ; though it is an argu ment both popularly intelligible, and justly effective. The Oxford Tractators, in publishing the writings of the Fathers, if they select them fairly, will furnish the best antidote to their own arguments. It is wonderful, however, to observe how blind they are as to the effects of their statements. They seem utterly unaware of the extent of Scriptural intelligence, and we add of common sense, which, with all the faults of the age, are to be found in this Christian land ; and hence, after making some astounding declaration, they take for granted that they have proved its truth, or opened the way to its ac ceptance, if they tell us that some person wrote or believed so twelve or fifteen hundred years ago. Thus, for instance, with most marvellous simplicity they say, in the advertise ment to their second volume : " Would not most men main tain, on the first view of the subject, that to administer the Lord's Supper to infants, or to the dying and insensible, how ever consistently pious and believing in their past lives, was a superstition ? and yet both practices have the sanction of primitive usage." The inference of every sound-minded per son upon reading this passage would be, not that the unscrip tural superstitions alluded to were justifiable because they had the sanction of primitive usage ; but that primitive usage is very little to be depended upon, if it sanctioned such unscriptural and senseless superstitions. Should we be forced, as a supplementary argument, (for the word of God is the only authoritative standard of appeal,) to shew how little too many of the Fathers deserve the cha racter of being even ordinarily perspicacious guides —to say nothing of infallible interpreters —we should not have far to seek for such a mass of absurd and often pernicious fancies, as must shock the mind of ignorant persons, who conclude, because they have been told so, that the Fathers are models olsound doctrine, powerful argument, and apt illustration But, while we can, we eschew this invidious topic ; resting our argument, not upon what the Fathers actually are, but upon what, as men like ourselves, they must be, frail and , fal lible ; and upon the wisdom and duty of leaving the filthy " puddles," as the Homily calls them, of human tradition, for the pure fountain of unerring and eternal truth. We concur with Bishop Jeremy Taylor, where in his Liberty of Prophesying (Sect. viii.)—speaking of some who " press the authority of the Fathers ;" and " think they can determine all questions in the world by two or three sayings of the Fa thers, or by the consent of so many as they will please to call a concurrent testimony"—he says : " If I should reckon all the particular reasons against the certainty of this topic, it would be more than needs as to this question, and therefore I will abstain from all disparagement of those worthy personages, who were excellent lights to their several dioceses and cures. And therefore I willnot instance that Clemens Alexandrinus taught that Christ felt no hunger or thirst, but eat only to make demonstration of the verity of his human nature ; nor that St. Hilary taught that Christ in his sufferings had no sorrow; nor that Origen taught the pains of hell not to have eternal duration ; nor that St. Cy prian taught Re-baptization ; nor that Athenagoras con demned second marriages ; nor that St. John Damascen said Christ only prayed in appearance, not really and in truth ; I will let them all rest in peace, and their memories in honour. For if I should inquire into the particular probations of this article, I must do to them as I should be forced to do now. If any man should say that the writings of the school-men were excellent argument snd authority to determine men's persuasions, I must considg their writings, and observe their defailances, their contradict‘ons, the weakness of their argu ments, the mis-allegations Of Scripture, their inconsequent deductions, their false opinions, and all the weaknesses of humanity, and the failings of their persons ; which no good man is willing to do, unless he be compelled to it by a pre tence that they are infallible, or that they are followed by men even into eirors or impiety. And therefore since there is enough in the former instances 'to cure any such mispersua sion and prejudice, I will not instance in the innumerable par ticularities that might persuade us to keep our liberty entire, or to use it discreetly. For it is not to b e d en i e d but that great advantages are to be made by their writings, 'et probs. bile est quod omnibus, quod pluribus, quod sapientibus vide tur.' If one wise man says a thing, is it an argument to me to believe it in its degree of probation—that is, proportion able to such an assent as the authority of a wise man can pro duce, and when there is nothing against it that is greater ; and so in proportion higher and higher, as more wise men (such as the Old Doctors were) do affirm it. But that which I complain of is, that we look upon wise men that lived long ago with so much veneration and mistake, that we reverence them, not for having been wise men, but that they lived long since. But when the question is concerning authority, there must be something to build it on ; a Divine commandment, human sanction, excellency of spirit, and greatness of under standing, on which- things all human authority is regularly •huilt. But now, if we had lived in their times, (for so we must look upon them now, as they did who with ou t p re j u di ce beheld them) I suppose we should then have beheld them as we in England look on those prelates who are of great repu tation for learning and sanctity : here only is the differe nce ; when persons are living, their authority is depressed by their personal defailanccs, and the contrary interests ofTheir con temporaries, which disband when they are dead, and leave their credit entire upon the reputation of those excellent books and monuments of learning and piety which are left behind. But beyond this, why the Bishop of Hippo shall have greater authority than the Bishop of the Canaries, cote ris paribus, I understand n o t." Bishop Taylor goes more fully into the subject in his Due tor Dubitantium. There are some admirable remarks upon the Fathers as good witnesses, but bad expositors, and no authorities. He opens Rule X. of Book I. Chap. 4, with the following striking passage, from which the modern church may learn a humbling but salutary lesson. "Ancient writers are more venerable; Modern writers are more knowing. They might be better witnesses, but these are betterjudges. Antiquity did teach the .Millenary opinion, and that infants were to be communicated ; that without Baptism they were damned to the flames of hell ; that angels are corporeal ; that the souls of saints did not see God before dooms-day; that sins once pardoned did return again upon case of relapse • that persons baptized by heretics we re t o b e rebaptized ; and they expounded Scripture in places innu merable, otherwise than they are at this day by men of all persuasions ; and therefore no company of men will consent, that in. all cases the Fathers are rather to be followed than their successors. They lived in the infancy of Christianity, and we in the elder ages ; they practised more and knew less ; we know more, and practise less ; passion is for younger years, and for beginning of things ; wisdom is by experience, and age, and progression. They were highly to be valued, because in more imperfect motives they had the more perfect piety : we are highly to be reproved, that in better discourses we have a most imperfect life, and an inactive religion. If the reader will turn to the heads of " Catholic church" and " Tradition," in the Index to the Ductor, he will find re ferences to many powerful remarks and arguments upon the whole question. It is impossible for us to quote them at length, but we will adduce a brief specimen. Under the Rule entitled " The Catholic church is a witness of faith, and a record of all necessary truth ; but not the mistress and ruler of our creed—that is, cannot make any laws of faith," he says : _ " The Catholic church", taking ;n the Apostolical, that is, the church of all ages, is a witness beyond exception. For it' she have the spirit ; if she love truth, and if she do not con sent to deceive herself, she cannot be deceived in giving tes timony concerning matter of fact and actual tradition : or if she could, yet we are excused in following that testimony, be cause we have no better, we have no other. Better than our best, and better than all we have, we cannot be obliged to use : but therefore we have the justice and the goodness, our own necessity and the veracity of God for our security, that this is a sure way for us to walk in. But then when this is reduced to practice in matters of belief, it will come to this only, that she bears witness to the Scriptures, that they are the word of God; but beyond what is contained in Scripture, she bath no article of faith." " The consequent of this, which I have largely proved and explicated in the place above cited, is, that all her sermons, and all her explications of doctrines, must be by that measure. If it be agreeable to Scripture, it is that which she hath re ceived : but if she hath not received it, she cannot make a doctrine, nor deliver a proposition, with authority, nor oblige the conscience." " It is to be considered that the Church is a net that hath fishes, good and bad ; it is a field of corn and tares ; and but that the Apostles were guided by an infallible spirit, there could have been no certainty ; but then after them there was no more to be looked for ; when they left we were to use, but to look for no more. For the Catholic church never was, since the Apostle's time, without error. By Catholic church, I do not mean the right believing part of the church, (for in questions of faith the dispute was, which was the right be lieving part ;) but I mean all that profess the faith of Christ, who, when they are divided, will never allow the opposite party to be their judge : and therefore it cannot be supposed that God should appoint one to be the judge, who must al ways be supposed a party, and will never be accepted by the other, unless he had given infallibility to that one part, and we had all known it. To the Apostles he did, and they were the fountains of tradition : but when they were gone, the only way that was left was to see what they left, and that every part was to conform." _ " In most places men dare not speak what they think, and dare not believe what they find dangerous, and dare not in quire into what they dare not disbelieve.; so that if you had been at Trent and asked the Fathers, it would have signified nothing : for whatever their belief was, they were borne down by the congregations, and the congregations by the Legates, and the Legates by the Pope •, and that's the Catholic church." " Councils ecclesiastical have pretended to a power over the conscience, so as to require both the obedience of the will, and the obedience of the understanding. Concerning which I am to say, that nothing can oblige to Divine faith but a Divine authority : to which Councils can no more pre tend for being general, than for being provincial; and to which great assemblies have no other title or pretence of promise, than the private congregations of the faithful, who though but two or three, yet shall be assisted by the Divine presence. But general Councils are so wholly of human in stitution, that though by the dictate of right reason and na tural wisdom they are to be convened, yet to make them a formal judicatory, and to give them a legislative power, or a dominion and magistery in faith, there are so many conditions required both to their indiction and convention, to their con stitution and integrity, to their conduct and proceeding, to their conclusion and determination, that men are not to this day agreed about any one of them ; and therefore they can not be a legal judicatory obliging any but them that do con sent, and so oblige themselves." _ Bishop Taylor - shews in these and other passages, as clearly as Stillingfleet or Tillotson have done in their invaluable and never-refuted treatises, the fatuity of attempting to make tradition, orgeneral councils, or the writings of the Fathers, a rule of faith, or a joint-rule, or an authoritative guide, or any thing beyond a fallible though often useful testimony. As tvitnesses ' the ancient Christian writers are to be respect fully listened to, and their averments are frequently of great value ; as when they depose to early usages, such as the pre valence of episcopacy, infant baptism, and the sanctification of the Lord's-day. In such cases, we are not to make the usage a substitute for Scripture authority ; but it is to be fairly weighed in spewing what Scripture authority was early accounted to be ; nor are we at all disposed to resign, either to Romanists on the one hand, or to Protestant Dissenters on the other, the powerful testimony of the early Christians in favour of the doctrines and discipline of the Anglican Church. As we are reviewing a bishop's Charge, we have kept our remarks very much within the line of episcopal references. Popular nomenclature would assign very different names to the schools of Taylor, Stillingfleet, Tillotson, and Daniel Wilson ; but all happily unite in rejecting the Oxford Tract notion of tradition being a joint-rule with Scripture—nay, equally divine and authoritative with it ! We wish that the Charges of our prelates during the last two or three years, had abounded in explicit testimonies against the dangerous and unscriptural notions maintained in these publications. We think the urgency of the case would have justified, and indeed demanded, such avowals ; especially as this forbear ance has been urged by the advocates of the Tracts in various publications, and still more in private intercourse. to prove that the great majority of our bishops approve of them ; and that, with scarcely an exception, even those who think they " go too far," yet consider their mistakes as " on the right and safe side." A thorough-going publication of the New man and Pusey school, entitled "The Oxford Tracts, the Public Press, and the Evangelical Party," by " G. P. de Sancta Trinitate," boasts that " The Bishop of Oxford hav ing been appealed to for the exertion of his episcopal au thority in silencing the Oxford heretics, [it is very unfair and invidious to pretend that they were called by this opprobri ous name] has pronounced a decision in their favour ;" and the Archbishop of Canterbury is claimed as upholding the same doctrines ; so that, says the writer, " The charge of heresy made against these gentlemen ought in reality to be made against the Bishop of Oxford and the Primate of all England, or be abandoned altogether." The pamphleteer is probably as much mistaken when he undertakes to specu late upon the Primate's opinions, as he is when he says of some other persons, that " The Evangelical party in the Church are only restrained by the accident of their position from the destructive power of Rationalistic and Socinian principles ; the spirit is already there, only its full develope ment is restained." Nor is it true, that we are aware of, that even the Bishop of Oxford " has pronounced a decision in their [the Tractators] favour;" though, as we have often said, his lordship has virtually countenanced them, and in his Charge has exculpated them from all blame but that of possibly going somewhat too far on the right side. (To be continued in our next.) MARVELLOUS LIGHTS AT SKIBBEREEN. It was our wish to have gone from Bantry to Skibbereen, investigate the marvellous appearances in its neighbour hood, about which people were talking through the whole south of Ireland, but circumstances would not permit it. Many well-informed people who had visited the scene, had spoken of it in terms that kindled curiosity. All allowed— the ladies in particular—that there was a mystery about it ; many were persuaded there was something supernatural. In a cottage about two miles from Skibbereen, lived a man of the name of Harrington, poor, yet intelligent, and believed to be very pious. The situation of his honie was singularly desolate ; on a low, dreary beach, the sea in front, and a marshy swamp behind. Its interior was poOr, and like other Irish cabins, without windows; two rooms, with a damp earthen floor—a cheerless home even in health and strength, but in disease and helplessness, the clod of the valley would be sweeter, and the head would ache no more. Three years since, Harrington fell very ill, and was confined wholly to his bed, yet able to read and converse ; his books were wholly re ligious. His only companion and attendant was his mother. A few months afterwards lights began first to be visible in the cottage ; the rumour of them soon attracted people from Skibbereen to the spot, whose report induced others from a greater distance, from Bantry, Cork, and the interior, gra dually to come and examine for themselves. It seems that all were struck, and none satisfied, with what they 'saw. Their appearance was first like a faint moonlight that fell on the wall of the chamber; at times it was a bright light that covered the whole wall, or moved in portions up and down it, and often deepened into a yellow tint. Among the nu merpus visitors were ministers, men of science, families from the country-seats, fox-hunters, and devotees, carriages, pedestrians, and horsemen. It was called at last the Skib bereen lights, and baffled every attempt of the clever and credulous to discover fraud or imposture. In the inner room, on a low bed, beside the wall, destitute of every com fort, lay the desolate Harrington ; in the calm light of whose eye, and the composure of his tone, there was evidently no pain of conscience or depravity of heart. He said he was happy night and day, though his suffering was great. He never solicited help or charity ; the little he possessed seemed to be sufficient for his wants, and he did not seem to care for more. A few of his visiters sometimes left a trifle behind them, but the greater part gave nothing. He was so emaciated, that it seemed as if life could not long remain in such a frame ; the ,arm was but skin and bone; and after nearly a year had passed, those who saw him again were surprised to perceive still the same emaciation. He was about thirty-five, and passed his time in reading and prayer, chiefly it was said in the latter. It should be mentioned that he was a converted Papist ; the deceptions of the Priest hood, said to be so often practiced on the credulous, had nought:to do here, though many were of opinion there might be deception of another kind. A lady of literary powers atuisneeessi related to us, while at henhouse, a visit of some dayvelrieh she had paid to this scene. To the cottage she went often, and saw, again and again, the lights, and ob served them keenly and coolly, but could not trace or ima gine the cause of their startling appearance. They fell suddenly on the wall, always of the sick man's room ; they flashed- brightly before the eye, and moved slowly, or man tled the side of the wall in s steady light, remaining for some minutes, or passing away as suddenly as they came.— There was no crevice or aperture in the chamber through which light could enter. There were a fireplace and chim ney, but no fire was ever lighted while the visitors were there, and cloths were hung over the door and one or two places in the wall, at the wiel of those who came, that no gleam could enter ; so that on these occasions, the dark chamber was darkened still more. The confined floor was often covered with visitors ; handsomely dressed women, and the gay, the serious, and the wealthy were there : and many a face was pale, as if touched by the unearthly light; and every voice was hushed. The dying man as he seemed to.all, was before them ; in whose skeleton hand was the mystery, true or false, of this extraordinary appearance.— They waited on some occasions, long in suspense ; at others, expectation was quickly gratified. A gentleman whom we know, and who was several times on the spot, said that he saw them once at noon. The day is not the usual time of their appearance, but the evening and night. There is no noise or confusion about the house, no Irish sounds of wonder, wail, or alarm ; there is a quiet ness and a decency about the manners and demeanor of the people. Their conduct is closely observed, and at these times, when the mother is generally in the chamber, with an inquisitorial exactness. There is a cabin at no great distance from the home of Harrington, where it was sus pected at first that some collusion might be carried on ; in this cabin, therefore, a person was stationed to detect any suspicious signs, but there were none. The roof also of the sick man's cottage was carefully examined ; no clue to arti fice or hypocrisy was found. So many intelligent, educated, and watchful observers could not thus be deceived ; such at least was their own opinion. It was conjectured that from the desolate and marshy places behind the house some va pour or miasma might be the cause. On examination, this did not appear to be possible. Among the visitors was one of considerable eminence in the scientific world, whose calm and philosophic spirit of investigation could not discover the cause of the celebrated " Skibbereen lights," which he saw more than once. It was a fit situation for the wonderful and wild : the lone cottage of the friendless man, on a dreary shore, on which is the ceaseless moan of the sea, and, half the year, of the wild winds ; and behind is a sullen marsh. Many of those who have come here in the wintry season, or even in a dull and cloudy day, have felt the influence of the scene. If there be deception here, so long and still kept up, there must be exquisite art and management in the actors ; rarely has a spot so delicate, and reft of human agency, been chosen wherein to deceive mankind. The delusion is then as mas terly as that of Mesmer ; and, if the feebleness of the agents be considered, it is more successfully maintained. The sim plicity of the machinery, which requires no aid from the imaginations or sympathies of the observers, gives this mar vellous appearance on the desert shore the advantage over each German pretension. Seeing is believing : one sense only is exercised, and that the most difficult to be mistaken, in so confined a space—the waves in front, the marsh behind —no fire or light within—the only shadow that falls is that of the passing cloud.—Letters from Ireland in the New Monthly Magazine. The present establishment of an infantry regiment of the line, not serving in India, consists of-1 lieut. col., 2 majors. 10 captains, 12 lieutenants, 8 ensigns, 1 paymaster, 1 adjutant, 1 quartermaster, 1 surgeon, 2 assistant-surgeons, 800 rank and file, including non-commissioned officers and drum mers.

SELECT EXTRACTS. ART or PRESCRIBING.—The late Dr. Sutherland, of Bath, when at Paris, attended L' Hospital de la Charite'. One day he accompanied the physician running through one of the wards to visit the patients, a friar trotting after him with his book in hand, to minute down the prescriptions : the French doctor stops at a bed, and calls out to the patient in it, with the utmost precipitation, Toussez vouz ? then suet vous 1 allez Dons ala Selle ? then turning round instantly to the friar, "Purgez le." "Monsieur, it est mart!" replied the friar. " Diable! allons !" said the doctor, and galloped on to the next patient with rapidity." —Physic 8r Physicians. NEW GRASS PLOTS.—Now is a good time to lay down new lawns. Let the ground be prepared by digging, level _ ling, and thoroughly clearing of all root weeds, and sow with a combination of the permanent lawn grass seeds, mixed in proper proportions to suit the soil, at the rate of four bushels per acre. Rake the seeds in evenly, and cover slightly with fine mould, and well roll, to render the surface as compact as possible. A lawn laid down in this way will be found to be greatly superior in every respect, and formed at a less cost than by the usual mode of turfing. Lawns have been thus produced, which, in six months after sowing, far surpass in beauty any of the very best one-year-old turfed lawns. — Farmers' Magazine. The SPONGE FISHERY.—When at the island of Rhodes, I went to the sponge fishery, which is curious and interesting. It is a laborious and dangerous employment, but so lucrative, that five or six successful days afford those engaged in it the means of support for an entire year. The sponge is attached to rocks at the bottom of the sea, serving as a retreat to myriads of small crustaceous animals, which occupy its cavi ties. The fishermen dive for it to the depth of even a hundred feet, and sometimes continue for five or six minutes under the water, unless the quantity of sponge they may have col lected becomes' inconvenient or unmanageable, when they are hauled to the surface by the crew of the boat to which they belong. The divers occasionally fall v i c ti ms t o s h ar k s that attack them under water. The sponge is prepared for the market by being pressed to dislodge the animalculre it contains, and afterwards washed in lye to deprive it of muci laginous matter.—Marshal Marmont. A YANKEE DIALOGUE.—" Well,-now, I'll tell you. You know Marble Head ?" " Guess I do." " Well, then, you know Sally Hackett ?" " No, indeed." " 'Well, that's considerable odd. Now, I'll tell you; Ephrim Bagg, he that has the farm three miles from Marble Head—just as—but now, are you sure you don't know Sally Hackett ?" " No, indeed." " Well, he's a pretty substantial man, and no mistake. He has got a heart as big as an ox, and every thing else in proportion, I've a notion. He loves Sal, the worst kind ; and if she gets up there, she'll think she's got to Palestine (Paradise) ; aren't she a screamer? I -were thinking of Sal myself, for I feel lonesome • and when I am thrown into my store promiscuous alone, I can tell you I have the blues, the worst kind, no mistake—l can tell you that. I always feels a kind o' queer when 1 sees Sal ; but when 1 meet any of the other gals, I am as calm and as cool as the milk way." —Captain Marryatt. NEW SOURCE OF LIGHT.—M. Seguin has communicated to the Academie des Sciences, at Paris, a memoir on the dis tillation of animal substances, in which he states, that he has reduced the process to such a degree of simplicity as to ren der it profitable for the sale of the products of the distillation. Thus, from the carcase of a horse he obtained, by destruC tive distillation, 700 cubic feet of gas, suitable for purposes of illumination, 241bs. of sal ammoniac, and 331bs. of animal black. The gas obtained was found to be composed of one part of olefiant gas, and four of carburetted hydrogen, and might be preserved for months in contact with water without being in any way injured, or its brilliancy, as a combustible, impaired. M. Leguin found that 3,234 cubic inches of this gas, when burnt for one hour, gave twice and a half as much light as a Carcel lamp.—Athenwum. MODERN PERFUMES.—The most costly perfume of the present day is perhaps atar or otto of roses. It is constantly used in the audiences of the great in India, and imparts a most delightful fragrance, being superior, both in power and sweetness, to the essential oil of roses. The oils of nume rous fragrant woods, as well as the woods themselves, are in great requisition as perfumes. The spices, likewise, yield their aromatic odour ;' and fruits and flowers (the former by expression from the peel, the latter by distillation of the blossoms) supply their sweets for the gratification of our sense of smell. Odorous animal substances are likewise em ployed for the same purpose, but they are generally found to be too powerful when used alone. Musk, civet, and ambergris, all obtained from animals, are scarcely endurable in their pure unmixed state ; though, when united with ve getable perfumes , and used in small quantities, they yield an exquisite scent. LONDON IN OCTOBER.—Who has not remarked that the month of October, in London is ever dismal. That the deserted street—the closed houses—the shops en deshabille— the solitary carriage —in short, that everything proclaims that the season of pleasure and business is over. A universal dullness is spread over the vast city. Even the hackney coach horses, surfeited with leisure, have time to doze upon their stand. The porters and link-boys starve, or grow fat with inactivity ; and indeed, from the highest to the lowest, all feel the miseries of inaction. To be alone in a wilderness of houses, the view of heaven obstructed from our gaze, the very atmosphere we breathe loaded with the corrupted air of a large city, is a refinement on melancholy. If we are to be alone, let it at least be with nature, where we may breathe the pure air of heaven, and survey the beauties of creation ; where every instant some sense of enjoyment may be ex perienced alone. Solitude is never so irksome as in those haunts which we have at other times seen filled with the tumult of diversion or business.—The Duke, a new Novel. AWAKENED CLERGYMEN.—About this time, several cler gymen who 'were awakened by the preaching of the Messrs. Wesley, Mr. Whitefield, and their zealous coadjutors, boldly came forth, and according to the measure of light dawning on their minds, bore a faithful testimony to the atonement and grace of the Redeemer. Of these, the Rev. John Hodges, Rector of Wenvo ; Rev. Henry Piers, Vicar of Bexley, Kent; Rev. Samuel Taylor, Vicar of Quintin, Gloucestershire ; Rev. Charles Manning, Vicar of Hayes ; Rev. Vincent Per ronet. Vicar of Shoreham, Sussex; and the Rev. John Mer riton, from the Isle of Man, joined the Methodist S o ci e ty, attended several of the Conference meetings, and laboured zealously to promote the cause of God our Saviour, where ever they itinerated, as well as in their respective parishes. To these was added the Rev. Thomas Bateman, a man of high birth and great natural endowments. He was Rector of St. Bartholomew the Great, London, and also held a living in Wales, where he was awakened under the powerful minis try of the Rev. llowel Davies.—Countess of Huntinydon's Life and Times, 9 Vols. DUPUYTREN'S MODE OF OBTAINING Ins FEES.—The celebrated Dupuytren was more successful in obtaining his fees than Dr. Gregory. He was often cheated by his patients, until he had recourse to the following ingenious device :—He had a faithful servant, who was stationed at the door of the hall. Dupuytren had two bells fixed over the porter's head, communicating with his consulting room. On bowing the patient out, Dupuytren rung one of the two bells. If the fee was paid, one particular bell was rung, and the servant un derstood that all was right, and the patient was allowed to depart without any interruption. if the patient forgot the baron's fee, the "no pa7y" bell was tingled, and the servant understanding the signal, addressed the patient very politely in the following manner :—Mille pardons, Monsieur, I think you have forgotten to give the baron his fee." " Mon Dieu 1" exclaims the patient, "quelle negligence! le void av'ec mine apologies au baron." Zlotwithstanding Dupuytren's immense wealth, he lived in quite a different way from what persons of his rank do in this country. He occupied only one suit of apartments —a floor as we call it—and it was owing to this circumstance that he had it not in his power to prevent a ball from taking place in the room immediately over his head, a night or two before he died ; and which, it is said, greatly disturbed his dying moments."--Physic and Physicians. MATTHEWS AND SIR WALTER SCOTT.—III a letter from Edinburgh, Matthews says—" I know too many people here to study undisturbed ; therefore am obliged to hide myself in the private walks, when the weather will permit. * * I have had two nights, the first £BO, for they would not be persuaded that I was myself, in consequence of the disturb ance Irish Matthews occasioned there. But belieNing from ocular demonstation that I was 1, my second amounted to £132, which, to appreciate, you must be acquainted with cir cumstances too tedious, &c. When I tell you that the boxes will only hold £55, you may suppose what it was. Sir Wal ter, the magician of the north, and all his family were there. They huzzaed when he came in, and I never played with such spirit, I was so proud of his presence. Coming out I saw him in the lobby, and very quietly shook his hand,—`How d'ye do, Sir Walter hoo are ye? wall, how have you been entertained? (I perceived he did not know me.) — `Why, sir, I don't think quite so well as the rest of the people.'—' Why not? I have been delighted. Its quite wonderful hoo the deevil he gets through it all.'—(Whisper ing in his ear)—' I am surprised too ; but I did it all myself.' Lockhart, Lady Scott, and the children, quickly perceived the equivoque, and laughed aloud, w hi c h drew all eyes upon me :—an invitation for tomorrow followed, which I accepted joyfully. I doubt if the players in Shakspeare's time appre ciated his invite as I do an attention from the man who in my mind is second only to him."—Malthews's Memoirs. THE KNIGHTS OF MALTA PROPRIETORS OF FOUR OF THE WEST INDIA ISLANDS.—PauI Lascaris Castelard,Gran d master of the Knights of Malta, in 1650, through the agency of the Chevalier de Poiney, Commandant of Saint Christo phers in the West Indies, acting as representative of a com pany of French merchants who held large grants there, under the French Crown ; was induced to make a purchase, not only of that Island, but of the neighbouring islands of Saint Bartholomew, Saint Martin, and Saint Croix, to which he would have added Guadaloupe and Martinico had it been practicable. The fee-simple of these possessions, with all the plantations, slaves and stores upon them, was purchased for 120,000 livres, about £SCOO. sterling ; but the Grand master, engaged besides, to liquidate the debts due by the former proprietors to the inhabitants. The transaction, how ever, completely disappointed his expectations, and on the death of De Poiney, it was discovered that he had, from selfish motives, betrayed the Order into a most unprofitable specu lation. Twelve years afterwards, in the Grandmastership of Nicholas Cotoner, these transatlantic dependencies were re sold to other French merchants ; and such is the marvellous change which industry and commercial enterprise can pro duce, that little more than a century subsequent to the date of these transferences, English proprietors were to be found in the same islands, who, from one year's revenue of a single plantation, could have paid the whole purchase money which the Maltese Knights had given for them. MR. MATHEWS'S IMITATION OF CHILDREN, AND PAR TIALITY TO THEll.—Like Goldsmith, his behaviour with children was that of a most simple child. He generally ad dressed them in the tones and manner of childhood, always making himself the age of those to yvhom he talked. At first the little creatures would look surprised, sometimes . , frightened ; but this effect soon wore off as he persevered, and it always ended in his being accepted as a playmate. The first wonder over, ever after he was considered by them as a boy, for such was his voice and manner. I remember our travelling into Suffolk once, with Mrs. Richard Wilson, on a Christmas visit, and stopping at a village inn for refresh ment while her horses baited. Soon after, we saw my hus band near the door, with half a dozen boys of about eight years old. playing at marbles, bawling and wrangling about the game, in their childish and rude manner, and every one of his companiOns as grave and earnest with him as if they were all of the same age, and had been used to him all their lives. There he was squabbling. " You, Bill Atkins ! I say, you've no right to that taw—" I have," said " I Say you ha;ent't !"—" I say I have !"—" Ah ! you cheat ! 1 won't play with you no more." And thus even tually he picked a quarrel with one of them, and taking off his coat, offered to fight. He was met with spirit by the boy in question, and, finding this, he resumed his good humour, and made a present to his adversary of the marbles he had won, and left them all pleased with the " large boy." We inquired how he became so regularly installed among these urchins in so sho r t a time, He told us that he went up to them as they were playing, and, assuming the tone and words suited to their age, and the occasion, inquired if he might play with them. They all looked up with something like alarm mixed with wonder, and stared at him in silence for a minute. lie reiterated his wish to join them, and they all looked gravely and sheepishly at each other. He still urged them, till at last, after some demur, the smallest of the party boldly cried, " Let him play ; what harm ?"—" Very well," said another, e ncourage d b y hi s f r iend's example ; " very well ; but has h e got any mar bl es ?"—" No," said the new comer; " but I' ve a penny. "—" Well, then, let him buy some of yours, Tom ; you've got plenty to sell." The bar gain was completed, and he knuckled down,—soon learned several of their names, and thus we found him with them. It was most diverting to observe how completely the boys had ceased to regard him as anything but what he repre sented ; no giggling, no confusion, but a thorough confidence at last in the reality of his being a child, though of " larger growth" than themselves.--Memoirs of Charles Mathews.

Considerable business has been transacted in Butters during the past week, and holders have succeeded in establishing an advance in price of about 2s per cwt. Crane inspected Belfasts 90s to 91s. Banbridge, Derry, &c. 86s to 88s. The unsettled state of the southern part of Brazil, and South America, causes great dullness in Pickled Butter, which may be nominally quoted 86s. Beef and Pork remain as before, and higher prices expected. Bacon of the best quality is worth 52s to 535. A few stale, discoloured lots have been taken out of the market at 44s to 465. The provision, in common with other commercial markets, feels most keenly the pre sent depressed and deranged state of money affairs, and dependent as it is in a great measure, (particularly in the consumption of Butter and Bacon,) upon the manufacturing districts, which we are sorry to say, are still in an unsatisfactory state. No important busi ness or considerable advance in price can be looked for whilst these great interests remain in their present state of prostration. Had we Sir Robert, and men to whom the country could look with con fidence, at the helm now,—what a genial ray of returning prosperity would shine upon the commercial world,—what a national—a uni versal " Jubilate " would be chaunted—but " Eheu !"
