Anioang the various .disorders of the Mouth, there is none tore c estructive than Scurvy. which on first entering the Gums *Ruses 'them to bleed on the most trifling occasions, and pro ' *lutes ,the most offensive and frequently putrid breath. A %ft substance invariably accumulates around the necks ° 1 il ko Teeth, penetrates into the Gums, which gradually !sloe away, and the Teeth then become loose, and . '"rbo oat whole from their sockets, and it is well known tloo the los . of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. Cr, this. subject a distinguished Lecturer makes the followint t ieteet vations :—" When the disgusting effects of this accumu at*, are consideroi, it would appear impossible that any per lasi se, could be necessary to induce persons to obviate so great 4 4 ! Ulli9xn. - cp wen on their .urn .ccount or if they are.too de to procure their own comfort and cleanliness by employ seit'ul Dentist, they surely have no right to shock the roesof others, who possess more delicacy and propriety of ruses than themselves. Yet, so it is; and the sight and the ell are alike constantly outraged by the filthiness of some rvepie, who seem to obtrude their faces the closer in proportion i ° the disgust which they occasion."—Bell's Lectures, p. 199. could such persons only see the horrid state of their teeth 44 1. 1 1 gums, or for a moment catch the odour of their own wseath, they would not hesitate to seek immediate relief. To teofesaional men, shop-keepers, and tradesmen generally, who tve much intercourse with the refined and fas hionable world, ' o ifood state of the mouth must be of the g reatest im p ortance 1 / 4 oesides, is not an offensive breath, which in nineteen cases out !'twenty proceeds from the bad state of the teeth an d g ums, • - • y much calculated to prevent the blessing of matrimony? %lett how o'ten, from inadvertence or neglect , is the happ iness the :marriage state most grievously interupted by the same e ase. ,t:th inconveniencies attending the Loss of Teeth are too 11 k flown t o re q u i r e comment. but to those who have not ex tiemsed the comfort of Artificial Teeth, Monsieur Le Dray ▪dt sitous of showing some of the difficulties more or less en• til by every individual without them. When the Teeth are It * , it is impossible to make use of solid food ; and if the a i lteich is then loaded with pieces without being masticated, 1 7_ ttient 13 exposed to the most distressing intiigestions, the ch loses its power of contraction, and becomes weak in t "" rtion as it no longer digests ; besides, when the Teeth tt 'gtnne, a great vacuum is left in the mouth, which occasions t• 'y muscle in the face to be distorted, d the whole features *c,"ekpletely drawn from their original p an osition. t:to s, e s ;st on the importance of the teeth, whether in regard t; the r u , actions of digestion and articulation, to which they I : so ease vial, or to personal appearance, in which they are oh l .tuseh con cerned, must appear a waste of words, were it not 10 us that i - hcre are many persons who never give themselves ti pubic to think upon the subject ; who seem scarcely i lot ,ts that they possess teeth at all, while their gross and cul -Ze negligence renders tea fact too apparent to their friends ssociat es. 4dastification is the first process of digestion, and unless it 0,! 1 _ 03 7 performed, the subsequent processes can never g o on `"Terry. bu essential is this preparatory process, that the neglect of it Ill!Beieist to occasion indigestion, a disordered stomach, ner ii debilit y, depression of spirits, the skin becomes rou.sh and 41, 4 ged of a'lead colour, the eyes lose their b rillian cy , the li p s . r vermillion hue, and, in a word , it is no uncommon th in g L ''t 1Z; the whole body to receive such a shock as to cause re . Oion of the whole system, which produces an irritable •,.. I _,Per, quite foreign to the natural disposition, whereby t" become an annoyance to our friends, and a burthen I:_,aurselves. But I need not dwell upon the num ,. F l !ss concomitant evils which may , thus owe their r t r igle to imperfect mastication. It is sufficient to 1 1 21°w that Monsieur Le Dray's. improvements will be ound to be many years in advance of any system now in Eu- C Pes and th a t ar tifi c i a l teeth are brought to such perfection, at s establishment, No. 60, Newman-street, Oxford-street, as perform this function in a manner equal in every respect to we natural teeth, and may be used with every comfort. They ltre so ' arranged as to restore the lac e t o it s f ormer youthful st, correcting all deformities of the mouth, an d entirely doir Ve'ay with the old system of springs, clasps, and wires. g As an essential point of beauty, the teeth must ever start .1 1 re-eminent. No regularity of features, no brilliancy of c om ii,lexion, no sparkling eyes, or silken braids of jetty hair can 'elides that lady beautiful, who when she opens her lips (thou,gh they be of coral), discloses a set of teeth irregular or "L''eoloured. On the contrary, even homely features and a io -410 w complexion are embellished and rendered agreeable by a I*„ ° ed set of teeth. A mouth large and ill-formed will pass ogthotieed, when it contains teeth beautifully white and even. ‘ lll the other hand the effects of decay, the accumulation of ta 141 'tar, the blackened and denuded fngs, and the int of the i t : t ea th, which is a common concomitant of bad teeth, will wss'iably prove disgusting and loathsome. t Recular t ee th, white, and free from all extra neous matter, re an b rnam en t equally a ttractive in either sex. Those per ens who do not possess this natural advantage, should en t ea "ur, by extreme care and cleanl iness, and a timely resort It * artificial aid, to remedy the imperfections, and supp l y the e 6 eiencies of nature, in order that their teeth , if not an agree khie o bj ect, may be prevented, as far as possible, from Peconaing repulsive one. Monsieur LE DRAY, Surgeon-Dentist, 60, Newman -street, , ford -street, respectfully acquaints the Nobility, Gentry, e „; er gYs and the inhabitants of London and its vicinity, that he Jstinues to restore Decayed Teeth with his celebrated Mine- Vlarmoratum, so universally recommended by the Faculty ttitt..ogland, France, and throughout the Continent, which h ilataoce be is sole inventor and possessor of.

LIFE DEPARTMENT. For the convenienee of parties wishing to assure for a ape. , cific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower rates, has been calculated, on which, as well as on the partici pating scale, one half the premiums may remain on interest at five per cent. for five years, thus enabling a person to assure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate paymen' of the premium for 5001. For example, on the non-participating scald a man aged :30 may assure his life for 5001. by an annuaal payment of 9/. 18s. 4d., and if he can employ the money better in his trade or profession, one half of it may remain unpaid for five years, on his merely paying the interest till the expiration of that period. So that, for the trifling sum of five guineas per annum, a comfortable provision may be secured for a widow or a family. The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of 1001., one-half of which may remain fur five years by merely paying the interest annually at five per cent., and should the policy becomea claim in the interim the amount due will then be deducted : ---- .

Sir, --I have been a sufferer for seven years, both eves being so swollen as to cause blindness.

Canister, opened it in the shop—took some, and was greatly relieved before I reached my home. I can with truth assert, and make oath if required to do so, that it was your Eye ' Snuff cured me.

" Viecet veritas et prevalebit." LEAVER'S INFALLIBLE EMBROCA TION for GOUT, RHEUMATISM, RHEUMA- TIC GOUT, TIC DOULEROUX, LUMBAGO, SCIA TICA, RHEUMATIC FEVER, QUINSEY, &c., is now for the first time introduced to the notice of the public; al though in the present age of imposture it is difficult to put for ward a truth, however important, that shall not be liable to be confounded with the daily empirical puffs that are obtruded on the publie eye. This consideration has for a long time deterred proprietor el Feaver's Embrocation from advertising it. Fealing, however, a thorough conviction of the incalculable be nefits it will confer on mankind, he conscientiously believes that, by withholding it longer, he would be wanting in the com mon feelings of humanity towards his fellow-creatures, and of duty towards himself. He, therefore, no longer hesitates to adept this mode of making this wonderful remedy generally known, that the afflicted may have an opportunity of enjoying the blessings it offers them. This specific was revealed to the proprietor's father twelve years ago, who then cured him selfo b l e ae s nd t n ra a ol t ot e hmo c a e ft s h e r o o t wn f i tnh months, l a a t m c & a t os he o y en g wh o a u es t eh o na f l l thirtyed beent o eyoena o r i s o n ' f e s d a t a v t n o e d r y n i g a h sfirxomhotuhres noble to the e a p p e p a li s zt t ion h . ase S h in ee c n cured by it. In short, it is n o exaggerat i on to assert e thatwalk ptewr ioomd h l e o s ul T a i n t hi s n , , that it has never been known to fail in effecting a cure, where the proprie ter's instructions have been attended to. Its extraordinary efficacy has been for years tested b y severa l medical gentlemen of distinguished eminence, who declare it to be the greatest discovery every made in medical science. The superiority it possesses over every other remedy consists in its being an in noxious vegetable compound, in the perfect security with which it may be used (outwardly) by the most afflicted and timid patient, and in the certainty of its being a sound safe, and radical exterminator of the above-named maladie s in all their terrible and agonizing forms. Original testimonials in confirmation are in the hands of the Proprietor, Nos. 2 and 3, Friday-street, for the inspection of these who may wish to satisfy themselves on the subject. To be had of Mr. Feaver, Friday-street, Cheapside; Bar clay and Sens, Farringdon-street ; Newbury and Sons, St. Paul's ; Sutton and Co., Bow Churchyard; Willoughby and Co., Biskepsgate-street ; Sanger, Oxford-street; and of most of the respectable Chemists and Medicine Venders in town and country.

" In this volume we have the autobiographical memoir of a man, whose career in life has been a chequered one, but who, by sheer dint of perseverance, atu: showing a gallant front to misfortune, had the satisfaction of seeing all his efforts crowned with success. The Memoir is an interesting one, as showing what may be accorn plished by energy and good conduct ; and it is written is a cheer ful and benevolent strain. As a Medical Herbalist, Mr. Tilke has effected a variety of surprising cures in obstinate cases of gout, rheumatism, and indigestion.

We have in certain habits, no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found i nteresting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, whi c h for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, en perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, wh o perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, hart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in i nvestigating and detecting the ten often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked rums. him through the intricate mazes of this moral s labri 'nth and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of h ealth ' should appear to attack any of his young . charges, what the real iniroper time. He will here find clue to . cause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which 'youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point outs he disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if nut relinquished.

The Directors again take opportunity to congratulate all connected with this Society on the very prosperous state of its affairs. Since .last Anniversary the number of Ordinary Members has greatly increased ; and the claims upon it having been extremely light, its funds have accumulated to such an amount as to ensure its stability, and completely secure the objects for which it was instituted. Originally formed by a few Commercial Men travelling in, or connected with, the Trade of Scotland, for the two-fold pur pose of affording mutual and honourable assistance in case of Sickness, and promoting a more intimate feeling of brotherhood among their numerous bode, the Society has met with general and cordial support, and bids fair to become a leading Institu tion of the country. Already it numbers not only a great majo rity of the Travellers from Glasgow and the vicinity, but many of the most respectable from London and other places in Eng land ; and its benefits having lately been extended to all en gaged in Commercial pursuits, whether they may have tra velled or not, many employed at home have taken advantage of the opening and become Members. The Tables of the Society are framed from the most recent data, upon principles which cannot err, and require only to be impartially examined to convince of the soundness of its basis.

The last offers about Eringo were to bet 20 or take 22 to 1, both prices having been accepted in the course of the afternoon.

DISTRESSING lIIPIVRECK IN TORBAY.— The melancholy shipwreck of two vessels o2curred Lear Brixham on Thursday night or early on Friday morning. The wind, which had for some days previous been blowin from the south-west, suddenly chopped round to the east, , when two vessels, out of many that were riding at anchor in Torbay, parted their cables, and were driven away be fore the wind towards the shore. The sea running vary high, and the wind increasing to a gale, little or no assistance could be rendered the poor fellows on shipboard, notwithstanding their cries were heard on the sur rounding hills. After driving for about en hour the vessels were dashed against the rocks at Broad Sands, near Churston (the residence of Sir J. Y. Buller), and soon shivered to atoms. One of them was a fine brig bound to some port in the Levant with coals, the other an Eng lish schooner from Hull, bound to Zante. Three poor fellows belonging to the Frenchman, met with a watery grave, having been swept overboard by the tremendous breakers, their ages being 18, 20, and 30. Sir J. Yarde Buller and his Lady, in the most humane manner, afforded the poor sufferers every accommodation in their power. To the Kev. J. R. Hogg, curate, Brixham, much praise is due, he having, at the risk of Lis own life, rescued a sailor from drowning, by dashing into the water, and seizing him by the coat. The Hon. Baronet permitted the shipwrecked crews to occupy a house built for the con venience of sea bathing, in which fires were kindled, and clothes, provisions, &c., sent from Churston Court for their immediate use.—North Devon Advertiser. INTERESTING CHASE. -011 the farm of Tul. lodale, on the banks of Loch Maree, Ross-shire, a singular chase was lately witnessed betwixt an eagle and a black cock. The latter was flying across the lake, to one of the wild and shaggy islands in the centre of that noble sheet cf water, ' when a lar ge eagle glided down from one of the cliffs, and darted off in pursuit of the bird. The latter, aware of his danger, flew with the utmost speed and turned against the breeze, in the hope of baffling his pursuer. Turn after turn was made—at one time they rose to a great height in the air, and at another descending to the bosom of the water; when, at last, in wheeling round, close to the surface of the lake, both fell in, about a yard from each other, the eagle having, apparently, fallen with great force. They swam ashore, fully a quar ter of a mile distant, but they were no longer visible to tire spectator, though it was concluded that the eagle would prove victorio4s- ADDRESS OF THE CENTRAL BOARD. The Scottish Central Board for Vindicating the Rights of Dissenters, are induced by certain recent occurrences, which clearly prove the existence eithe r of g ross ignorance of those rights, or an utt er contempt for em, in a portion of the community by whom it has hitherto been supposed that they were held as sacred and inviolable, to address their constituents and country men in general, partly in the hope of averting the evil consequences of the occurrences referred to, and partly to free themselves and their constituents from all re sponsibilities, if they shall prove inevitable. As the institutions of countries which confer peculiar powers and wealth on one religious denomination, inflict upon those who dissent from it political injustice, and expose them to political oppression, so they tend to throw them into a distinct political party, having for its peculiar and paramount object, the abrogation of the Es tablishment, which is the cause of their injuries and dangers. The Dissenters in Scotland have as much reason as the Dissenters in the other parts of the empire, to make this the ruling aim of their political conduct. But hitherto they have not done so, having rather chosen to act in politics along with the common body of liberal minded men, without resorting to any separate organi zation, or pressing any m easures b ut w h at were agreeable to the whole. Whether the postponement of their own peculiar claims, and the temporary ob livion of their own peculiar principles, which this con duct implies, have been quite consistent with their duty to themselves and to the great cause of Religious Free dom, may perhaps be doubted. It has, however, served the good purpose of showing, that the Dissenters are, as politicians, actuated by no narrow, sectarian, or sel fish spirit ; and it has established for them a clear title to the confidence and consideration of all the true friends of liberty. The alliance of Dissenters with the Liberal party is not of recent origin, but dates from at least the k io rious Revolution,—since which period especially, it is notorious that one chief element of its strength in Eng land, has been the spirit and energy of the Nonconfor mists. Hence the friends of liberty Lave ever laboured to preserve, as a thing essential to her interests, a good understanding between liberal Churchmen and Dissen ters, which have been effected by the moderation and self-denial of the Dissenters en the one hand, and by the prudence and justice of the Churchmen on the other, prompting them to oppose, as an injury to themselves, civil disabilities founded on religious opinions, a nd t o make it a prime object of th e libral policy, to remove, as much as possible, all civil incon%eniences from the state of Dissent. The measures which with this view have been pursued by the Liberal party, have varied at different periods, with the changes in the laws, in the number of Dissenters, in the temper of the times, and other circumstances in our condition. At the present time the Dissenting body in the three kingdoms is more numerous than ever, and more con siderable and important, both socially and politically. Men's opinions, also, are now more enlarged, and their spirit higher respecting religious freedom ; while the activity and liberality of the various religious denomina tions are a sure guarantee that, whatever the State may do, religion will be amply cared for. In these circum stances, Dissenters would not be arrogant or unreason able, if they were to expect that the political party to which they belong, should advance somewhat beyond their old defensive policy in religious affairs, and begin the removal of every constitutional distinction between religious bodies. But this they have not asked. They have not attempted to make the abolition of the Esta blishment a term of agreement of the Liberal party, nor ever required its aid towards any one measure which ca❑ truly be called an act of aggression upon the legal r fights of the Established Churches. - They had, however, come to be strongly of opinion, that they might now count on the whole Liberal party resisting, as one man, all acts either of legislation or administration, which went to strengthen or increase the existing distinctions between the Church and Dissent in.. denominations a s s oc i et i es , an d b etween Ceurchinen and' Dissenters as individual. If these distinctions were not to be assailed, it was at least manifest that they should not be fortified or augmented. lii what ever shape such augmentation might be attr:mpted— whether by enlarging the endowments, by extending the juraiction, or by exalting tin) prerogatives arid dignity of the Church Establishment, it was equally unjustifi able, and equally to be opposed ; and that not with a feeble and timid resistance, but as a thing intolerable, and with the whole energy of the Liberal party. Entertaining such opinions and expectations, they have seen, with surprise and indigation, the following recent acts of positive aggression upon their rights and privileges. In 1838, a Bill was introduced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for the endowment, from the Consolidated Fund, of forty schools in the Ilighlands. The Dissenters strongly urged that this Bill should be framed on the principle of respecting the rights of conscience, the only sound principle of a national system of education, and consequently should neither allow of any religious tests in these schools, nor place them and the schoolmasters under the con. trol of the Established clergy, like the old parochial schools and schoolmasters. But all their remonstrances were unheeded. The Government carried the Bill by large majorities at every stage, placing these schools, supported from national funds, as completely under the control of the Established Clergy as the parochial schools, by vesting the appointment and removal of teachers in the same authorities, and excluding Dis seriters from the office of schoolmasters. It is true, Government promised that an inquiry would be in• stituted into the state of the parochial schools, and that a general measure of reform would be brought for ward ; but no inquiry has been instituted, and no re form has ever been attempted. During the same year, a patent was issued by the Crown, creating a Board having authority to grant licences for printing the Bible in Scotland. In this country, as in England, the right of printing the authorised version is a prerogative of the Crown ; which prerogative, whatever may have been its origin, had no peculiar relation to the Esta blished Church, and had been all along administered, accordingly, upon the most common and secular prin ciples, by means of a monopoly granted to printers, chosen with no regard to their religious opinions. But in the commission to the new Board it was specially provided that the Commissioners and their suc cessors in office must be members of the Esta blishment. And thus, for serving the Crown in this public secular office, citizens are incapacitated solely because they are Dissenters, and that most unconstitutionally, if not illegally, not by Act of Parliament, but by an act of the Queen in Council. ' The same principle of exclusion was again acted on in the following year, when a Bill was carried through by the Under Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment, for the laudable purpose of improving prisons and prison discipline in Scotland. In it a clause was in serted in the House of Lords, excluding Dissenters from the office of prison chaplains. This clause was not opposed by the Government, and on its becoming law, a Dissenter, who had held the office of chaplain in the Bridewell of Edinburgh, was necessarily removed from his situation for the sole crime of being a as senter,—it being admitted by all, that in every other respect he was admirably qual:fied for the office. Lastly, in 1840, the office of inspector of schools was created by the authority of the Crown ; this functionary was required to visit c:rtain new schools of which Go vernment had defrayed half the expense of building, and permitted to visit the parochial schools when requested to do so by the Presbyteries of the Established Church; but it was spa - ,ia ly piosided, that a Committee of the General Assem could have a veto on the nominat; of the Crown ; and it was thus, in effect, declared that no Dissenters is el ible, although the salary is payable out of the public revenues of the country. In this case there was no apology fir the exclusion of Dis smter Vecause of religious opinion ; for the inspectors are debarred from interfering with or reporting on either the quantity or quality of the religious instruction communicated in the schools which they visit. These instances, in which the principle of equal rights, irrespective of religious opinion, has been vio lated, although few in number, are, it is believed, more numerous than have occurred for a century and a half, 1 and they are more annoying as having been committed under a Government indisputably the best in other re spects which we have yet seen. Indeed, the practice of making a distinction between Churchmen and Dis- • sonters, in regard to their eligibility to civil offices, is a novelty in the management of Scotch affairs, for since the Revolution settlement, no religious test has beet, required, excepting iu relation to professorships in th e Universities and parochial Sehodmasters ; and the dis abilities of Scottish Dissenters ma. therefore be said to have commenced .inder Lord I.llolhourre,:ag4rGki,soiti•oerniis-, Govern ment in 1838 But in addition tf , the a i attempts:ha , e been made to engage th e natty 3 and credit of the Liberal party in schelees of Church ae• grandisement ; for the accomplishment of which prig ciples have been avowed, and acts done, of the most dangerous and intolerant character. First, Some in dividuals, whose close connection with Governmen. makes it unlikely that they , would t a k e and important step without its knowledge and c oncurrence, in order to carry a Parliamentary election, stooped to bargain for the support of a party who were acting ie open defiance o the law, as declared by the Supreme Courts, at the p r i ce o f promising to assist them to effect what never has been or can be effected without danger to the best interests of society, the securing for a reli gious sect th e exc l us i ve right to appoint about one thou sand public functienesties whose stipends are paid from funds belonging equally to the whole community, and the irresponsible management of a large portion of pub- EVENING E DITI ON . lie property, equal to at least a quarter of a million per annum. i3y these unwise proceedinge, the ueion of Li berals was put in hazard, and Dissenters were pieced na the painful predicament, either of appearing to sans:this. such schemes for Church aggrandizement, or, by with holding their votes, of contributing to the triumph of the Conservative party. And though the peo ties referred to were outwitted and defeated, there are some grounds for doubting, whether they have beet: so taught by experience as to abstain in futu re f rom a caurse so little creditable to themselves, and so hazard ous to the Liberal cause. In the text place, tho bee tior of professed Liberals, called " High Church Nen- Intrusion Whigs," have avowed their determination to make the support of " Non-Intrusion" and "the inde pendence of the Church," the test of a person's fitness for being a Parliamentary representative, declaring their resolution to give their rotes to no Liberal who wi!l not pledge himself to support these sectarian objketr, and to refuse them to no Tory who will—n i cking this pledge, in the one caee,,the indispensable condition of, and ie the other, the sufficient re--aeon for, their ec!'- trages—es if the triumph of the derninant party in the General Assembly were au ohj2et paramount to every other. And, finally, This section of professed lebereis manifested the same principle of intoleraree, to making common cause, in the tnetropelis of tins country, with those to whom they are both politically anti cei siasticelly oppoeed, in order to exclude from the els ie chair, ilerely let:Ruse he was a co,...sistead Dis• sorrier, an iselividual admitted on all hands to he emi nently q'taified to fill it with honour to himself and advantage to the community, and who, by laborious and valuable services, had establishes! fOr himself strong claims "t n the gratitude of his feflow.citizens, and to place in it, by this meet discreditable coalition, one, whose chief, if not sole, recommendation, even to them, was, that he was a zsalous supporter of " the indepecid, once of the Church," having publicly declared, that, " if the law would oppose the rights of the Church, then he was prepared to say, that lie would oppose the law of the land, and support the ecclesiastical judica tories." To the machinations of the saute high Church party which Las ;Liven these exhibitions of a selfish, ambitious, and intolerent spirit, Dissenters have to ascribe the great effort to crash them, by means of additional endowments, which they had so much difficulty in de feating To the same party, also, there is reason to believe, are to be traced the late aggressions of Govern ment upon the civil rights of Dissenters. Yet the most unscrupulous misrepresentations arc made to blind the country to its real character and designs, to represent it as the party of the people and of liberty, and is entitled, by its principles and aim, to the support of Dissenters themslves, whose conduct in refusing to aid its schemes, is branded as inconsistent and unprincipled, and is even hell up by some persons as a sufficient justification of their recta el:friendliness. The Board having already, on former occasions, givto whet appeared to them good reasons why Dissenters could not participate in the schernts of the High Church party, nEght content themselves with referring to these but as their schemes are constantly assuming new forms, and as the non-concurrence of Dissenters is falsely attri buted to unworthy motives, they take this opportunity shortly re-stating their view.; regarding the proposed chances in the censeitution of the Established Church. Dissenters need no arguments to convince them that patronage, the intrusion of ministers, and ecclesiastical dependence on civil power, arc great evils in a Christina Church. They are already convinced, that no one who values at its true worth, either the freedom which is every man's birthright, or the" liberty wherewith Christ has ru tcle his people free," would, for any secular advan tage, submit, even for en hour, to so degrading a yoke of bondage. But it by no means follows, that they are therefore hound to concur either in the objects or the details of the particular plans in agitation. One of the professed objects is to strengthen, per petuate. and extend the Church Establishment, which a growing conviction in the public mind, hostile to Church Establishments, has put in obvious hazard. A contrary effect, indeed, is predicted by many sagacious and clear-sighted adherents of the Church, and feared by a still , rreater number ; but supposing these persona to he wrong, and !het the real circa would be what is aimed at, no Dissenter can, without inconsistency, pro mote it, the very fundamental principle of his system being, that " the union between Church and State is impolitic, unjust, and unscriptural." Another favourite object, is the weakening and extinction of Dissenting Churches, which have grown up under the pledged pro tection of civil power. Any such attempt Dissenters cannot but reprobate, as en attack -upon the most effec tive means ev cr devised for promoting that true reli gion, arid pure morality, which form the main stay of the peace and prosperity of States. Not, indeed, that they can have any apprehension of its success ; on the con trary, they are firmly persuaded that the voluntary system is too clearly sanctioned by Scripture, reason, and expediency, to be arrested in its progress by such means ; chile they foresee, in the agitatiou which filer are causing, nothing to retard, and much that must hasten its triumph. As little, on looking into the det.-.ils of the plans pro posed, do Dissenters find any thing to secure their ap probation. To that claim, indeed, whi c h i s th e found ation of all, namely, a certain undefined independence of the Established - Church of the State, not only Dis— senters, but rational men of all parties, must declare the most unqualified opposition. Of the absurdity awl danger of such a pretension, no stronger example is needed, than is afforded by the recent proceedings of the Church of SeotlAnd, when, acting upon the principle of independence, her courts have set abide Acts of Par— liament, refused obedienee to decrees of the Courts of Justice, and dealt with the legal tights of patrons, pre • sentees, and pariAlioners, as if she were their absolute a ' master. To aim at such autho r aboveit}' the vice of al! church estab:ishments ;and, e law, is it is the interest of every citizen to counteract this tend-• envy, by keeping,; them in stri c t su b or di nat i on to the: chit power. Aore especially is this the interest of D seaters, between whom and the aggressions of the es tablished sect there stands no barrier or safeguard but the supremacy of the law. With regard, again, to the intrusion of ministetc while the object is indubitably good, none of the plans. for effecting it deserve the least support. One of these: plans, the libcrunt arbilriuut, as it is termed, if successK would only transfer the power of intrusion from the pa tron to the clergy —a transference which, both on gene ral principles, and from the testimony of history, must regarded as a serious evil. Another is to alter the law , of patronage, and vest the election in the male comatua nicants, or some other portion of the members of the Es-. talished Church. Such an arrangement, in an esta blished and endoe ed Church, implies in it the political: absurdity of placing beyond the control of the nation go nerally, and its goverement, a body of men specially ap pointed to do what is held to be national work, tested. with national authority, and supported by national funds;. It is inconsistent with the fundamental principles on. which the Church was established in 1690 ; for at that period, when a large proportion of the! heritors were Episcopalians, and consequently Dis senters from the Presbyterian Church, the Par liament of Scotland gave the sanction of its authority (so far as it could censistently with the. maintenance of the political disfranchisement of Romani Catholics, then supposed to be called for reasons of state), to the just and sound rule of public civil control, by bestowing equal powers in the election of mirsisters, on the whole body of the heritors, " being Protestants ;" thus distinctly refusing to vest this right in. any single sect. Again, than this Act was repealed by that of Queen Anne, which established patronage in its pre sent form, the British Parliament sanctioned the same principle, by conferring equal powers on all patrons, without regard to their being Churchmen or Dis senters. But in all the recent movements made by the High Church Non-Intrusion party, they have at tempted to violate these fundamental principles on which the Church was established, by confieing the suffrage to Chu:chme.n. To such attempts, the real object of which was to increase the power of the ecclesiastieel incorpotation, and diminish their Own power, Dissenters can give no support ; for a l e though strongly opposed to patronage, yet they are well convinced that an Established Church, being a p n ii. tited institution, must be held under some restraints and chcele. ; and that if the cheek of patronage is removed, some other must be put iu its room. But the airangetnent proposed would not serve this cud. On the contrary, by transferring , the appointment of the clergy from its present c h i ll holderseto a body of Church members, It would transfer the control of the Church Low held by the State, through the patrons, into the hands of the Established sect, and so would instantly convert the Church into that independent body in reality, which it now claims to be by right, making it an iiniieriunt in imperio, a politico-eceletiasjeal re public, planted within the bosom of the State, under the sole dotnini on o f an ambitious and i rrespons ibl ! c l ergy . For it is to be carefully noted, that no change in the patronage or appointment of the ministers of an endowed Church, tvill ever secure what is the only intelligible aim of honest Non-Intrusionists, namely, the respore sibility of the clergy to the people. Nothing will do this which leaves the clergy pecuniarily independent. of ( S i 0 1 o ti t s l a ncdo,a whichdju tor s, a ft : their thisfirs first reason, plan o f .tlhoch nChurch e vv framed with a peculiar view to keep down a clergy power, gave to congregations not only the first election of ministers, but also the yearly adjustment of their stipends. And, indeed, it is plaiii forthat only effe c tl of the popular election of ministers.life with fix endowments, must be to render them quite absolute 1 irresponsible; to free them, indeed, from the con trol of patrons, and to make them more aspiring a n d presuming, by reason of their apparently Popular title, but not one whit more truly amenable to the people. Still further, the injustice of the proposal, in a pecu niary point of view, is equally manifest ; for, ev e n sup posing the members of the Established sect were them selves to purchase all private patronages, it coetemplates the alienation of the whole Government patroaagee, which are public property, and certainly equal in value to not less than 150,000/. On all these g rounds, the plans proposed appear to be objectionable, but the Board do not mean to assert that no plan for effecting a change
