SOLOMONS are the most powerful Instru ments for the relief of deafness. From their minute construction, and convenient form, deaf persons are enabled to wear them entirely unseen, and they may be inserted and removed with the greatest fa. cility. By their use the lowest whisper breathed at a public assembiy vibrates on the organs of hearing in such a pleasant manner as to af ford the greatest relief to those labouring under the distress , ng ail ment of Deafness. Mr. E SOLOMONS' PATENT SPECTCLES possess the ad vantage of modifying bright and strong light transmitted through the various humours of tho eye, so as to render vision most perfectly distinct by day, or lamps or candles at night, conveyVg also a sense of coolness , and pleasure to the organ, with the additional recom mendation of being free from the pernicious a - tributes of common glasses.

UNION BANK OF LONDON.-At a General Meeting of the Proprietors, held at the Court room of the Banking-house, 8, Moorgate-street, on Wednesday, the Bth July, 1 ,4 40 ; present, Sir PETER LAURIE, Governor, in the Chair; ANDREW SPOTTISWOODE, Esq., Deputy-Governor, e The followin and 127 Propri e t ors . g havin been dby the Screta, the Governor decla ß red eport a dividend of 5 per rea cent. on the paid-u ry p capital which will be payable on and after the 20th July : " The Di rectors have much pleasure in meeting the Pro prictDrs for the first time to lay before them the statement of the affairs of the Bank appended to this Report, which they confidentl y ant i c i pate will prove satisfactory to the Proprietary at large. ▪ et nould not non' be of any practical utility to give a de• tailed history of the formation of the Bank, the Directors wil therefore content themselves by stating its present position. The number of Shares issued at 30th of June, 1840, is 42,005, held by 738 proprietors, representi.tg a subscribed capital of 2,100,2501., on which the first call of Si. has been paid by all the Shareholders; making the paid-up capital of the Company 210,0251. • it List of the Proprietors has been printed and circulated, and the Directors refer to it with pride and satisfaction, a showing the firm basis upon which the credit of this establish ment has been reared. '6 It is gratifying to the Directors to be enabled to declare a dividend of five per cent. on the paid-up capital, out of the net profits of the business to the 30th of Julie, after snaking a full allowance for bad and doubtful debts, liquidating a portion of the preliminary expenses (which, in justice to the present Pro prietors, must be provided for gradually), and setting apart the sum of 2,000/., being nearly one per cent. on the paid-up ca. pital, as the foundation of a surplus or guarantee fund, the establishment of which, to an adequate amount, invested and accumulating separately in Government Securities, in the names of the Trustees, the Directors consider to be a matter of great importance to the future interests of the Bank, •‘ The attention of the Proprietors is particularly directed to that part of the balance sheet, showing the amount of interest paid on current and deposit accounts to be 7,373/. 12s. ed., by which it will be seen that, in addition to the greater security afforded by the sound principle of joint-stock banking, the cus tomers obtain so manifest an advantage by a return of interest on their general balances, which would otherwise have been wholly unproductive. " The extreme pressure on the Money Market at the close of, last year, rendered the greatest circumspection indispensable in the management of the Bank. 'I he Directors, notwitstand ing, refer to the account appendei to this Report, to show the Proprietors that in preferring a safe and cautious course to the precarious profit'which might have attended a less prudent line of conduct, they have been actuated by a strict regard to the ultimate interests of the Company. " The Directors, for the convenience of business, hive opened an account with the Bank of England; and it is due to the Directors of that great establishment, to state that this accom modation was granted in the most prompt and obliging manner. The Directors have also the satisfaction of stating that the most friendly feelings exist between this and the other Joint ; Stock Banks established in the metropolis. "Nothing has as yet been done by the legislature with refe rence to the unjust prohibition which prevents Joint Stock Banks in London from accepting bills at less than six months' date; but from the principle of removing a similar limitation, as respects Ireland, having been admitted in the bill brought in by the Government last session, and the growing opinion in the public mind that this and other restrictions upon Joint Stock Banks are injurious to the public intei eats, the Directors are justified in entertaining the most confident expectation, that when the interesting inqu•ry now going on before a select committee of the House of Commons on the subject of banking shall be completed, the whole matter will be placed on a sou,d and reasonable footing. " A Branch Bank at the west end of the town was opened at temporary offices in Argyll-place, Regent- s t ree t , and the Di rectors, considcrinn- the situation to be v ery e li g ib le, have pur chased the valuabl e freehold of the premises, and erected thereon a commodious banking-house, which will be shortly completed. The success of this establishment has fully realised the expecta tions of the Directors. " The Directors refer with the greatest pleasure to the ap pointment of Mr. W. W. Scrirngeour as the General Manager ; and it is but; justice . to that gentleman to say, that his un wearied zeal and as,idlity, h's peculiar and extensive knowledge of credit and banking in general, much of the success of this Company is to be attributed. They have also great satisfaction :c expressing their entire approbation of the conduct of Mr. Clack, the Manager of the Regent-street Branch. • 'ln conclusion, the Directors would urge upon the Proprietors o consider how much of the success of the Company depends on their active co-operation, not merely by keeping their own accounts with the Bank (which is almost too obvious a duty to require remarl) but by extending the connexions of the esta blishment by every means in their power. It must be evi dent, that with so large and influential a body of proprietors, the elements of prosperity are within their own control. The value of their shares depends mainly on themselves, and the Di rectors look with confidence to increased exertions and assist ance from the Proprietors for the promotion of their mutual interest.

HONEY MARKET and CITY N.II:4VS (WEDNESDAY EVENING) CHRONICLE.—This being the first day for paying , the dividends to the public, a larger extent of business was transacted in the English Funds than has taken place for some time past. Consols, at one period, were quoted at 924 to t, being per cent, advance on yesterday's prices, but left flat 924 sellers. Exchequer Bills, 30s. to .7e2s. premium. Th.: announcement we made exclusively in last Tuesday's Chronicle respecting the determination which the Directors of the Bank of England had come to, to relax the system hitherto adopted by that establishment regarding their mode of banking, so far as related to discounts, has caused much discussion pro and con. as to its future effect on the .‘Laney Market, and on the circulat on,should it bs carried ant tothe extent necessary to be of permanent benefit to the public. Tht re are those to be Lund sib. contend that the r. suit must be to increase the difficulty which time Directors have at times to contend with, when, from an adverse state of the ex changes, and bullion leaving the country, or other causes, they find it necessary to take measures for _suddenly con tracting the circulation. There can be no doubt that its tend•ncy is to make motley more easy, by extending the benefit of discount operations to many deserving persons, who arc at present excluded, in so far as the Bank of Erg_ land is concerned ; but when we consider the principle • n which the discount business will in future probably be conducted, we do nut apprehend that the control of the Directors over the circulation will be diminished. On the contrary, it seems plain enough that although the amount of the circulation will be greater, it will be ex panded through a channel immediately under the eye and power of the Directors. Besides, under the present sys tem it will be remembered that parties who hol I discount accounts with the Bank of England generally draw out notes to the full amount of the bills which they negotiate. It is not, in fact, the practice t leave .any greater balance in those accounts than is requisite to keep them open. When the change of system, however, which we are are now discussing shall come into play, that will no longer be the case, because the drawing accounts will then be operated upon in the same form as at a private hanker's ; and only such , paper discounted as may be pre sented by persona keeping good accounts with the esta blishment. The increase in the circulation will not there fore be so great as at first sight might be supposed, be cause, from the circumstances to which we have alluded, it will be seen that a large amount of the bills discounted may be left in the hands of the Bank, at the credit of the parties for whom they were discounted ; and as the medium of expansion will be an engine directly under the power of the Bank, they will be able to work in such a way as to retain a salutary influence over the extended circulation, enabling them to work it as circumstances may render expedient. What may have been the cause of this important change in the policy of the Bank Parlour, we shall not attempt to predicate at present. The most ob vious reason would be to say that they have been actuated by a desire to put their house in order previous to the ex piry of the charter, and to place themselves in a position of strength adequate to resist the rivalry of the Joint Stock establishments. Be that as it may, 'we cannot but approve of their conduct in this matter; and those best acquainted with banking affairs express their chief wonder to be, that they should have been so tardy in adopting a system which has been long acknowledged by the Banks of France and Amsterdam. TIM E S —The payment of the dividends to day has rendered money easier, and it could be obtained at 4 per cent. In the English stock-market there has been some activity; 50,000/. Exchequer Bills were sold, and the proceeds re-invested in Consols, and there was another purchase in 'Consols to the amount of 100,0001. The money price of Consols had been in the morning 92 to but these purchases caused a greater firmness; and at toe close of the rna4et 92i to was the quotation both for Money and the Account. For August the quotation is 92i to Exchequer Bills maintain their price of 30s. to 325. premium. SUN.—The news of the flight of Cabrera into France, communicated so circumstantially in The Sun of this evening, gave much pleasure to the friends of constitutional Spain in the City. For the opening, Consols brought 92i to 92i ex div., and Exchequer Bills continued to support. with firmness the advanced premium of 30s. to 325. Bank Stock was nominally the same as yesterday, but East India Stock rose to 251 i again. East India Bonds were more dealt in at to Is. premium, and the Re duced Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Annuities varied from 1001 to 1004. Thcre was a little speculation in Spanish Bonds for the 15th instant this afternoon, but not at better prices, the Actives varying from 27* to 268, and the Deferred being dull at 12k. The inanimate state of the market is attributable, we believe, to the rumours in circulation, and which are still discredited by a few incredulous in dividuals, as to the fact of some . of the' new Bonds being in private hands, and actually in circulation. Portuguese New Five per Cents, dropped to 35, and the Three per Cents. to 23g. Colombian Bonds re ceded to 27, and Brazilian touched 79. No bargains of magnitiide were effected in the Share Market, and prices had a downward tendency. Great Western Shares were quoted at 38, New 17 , South Western 20i, Birmingham 97f to 99, and Blackwall Ti t i 9 aright-On Shares were 7i, Greenwich n`d Wadi Midland 7i discoun t . 81'1 KIT of the rtIi3LIC JOURNALS. .(PROM THE MORNING PAPERS QF THIS DAY.) (From the Morning Chronicle.) The new measure for the disposal of the Canada Clergy Reserves is to be bronght on to-night by Lord John Rus sell in a Committee of the whole House ; and there is, we trust we may say, no doubt of its being received as an acceptable measure by tie great majority of the Members, At all events, the fi lends of the Church of England have no cause to complain. Lord John Russell has acceded (and in that we think he has done wisely, looking to the entire 'scheme of settlement of which this is but a part) to the propositions made on the part of that body. The Church of Scotland, too, is also in a good position. It takes a share corresponding to its proportion of population in Canada, as compared with that which consists of members of the Church of England. It might in strictness, we know, be objected that, including the Presbyterian seceders (who in Canada are in reality in nowise distinguished from members of the Scotch Church), that the two Established Churches are nearly on a par, in paint of numbers; but the point is not of sufficient importance to ground opposition on it. The other denominations do not fare so favourably ; but there is reason to believe that the bulk of them are indifferent to the measure as a means of endowment, and would prefer the application of the fund to educational purposes. The measure retains its first and chief recommendation—that of getting rid of large blocks of land in a wilderness state, which offered an impediment in every direction to the progress of the colony ; and the greater number of per.ons who feel an interest in the question on that ac count, and they form the most active and influential of the province, will be gratified on this score. (From the Times.) We must here observe, and with the utmost deference towards Lcrd Stanley, that if he deemed it an a:.vantage to put on record before the country the triumphs which he had wrung from Ministers by means of succcsssive majori ties in the House of Colnmons, it would have cost the Noble Lord but a small exertion, and the Conservative party but a very slight additional expense of time, diligence, or self-devotion, to try whether they could not swell the catalogue by further items, in no degree less valuable than those which he already adduced, inasmuch as one or two nights' debate in the course of this current week have won for him not only an appeal from the assistant barrister to thu judges, but the still more solid benefit of an appeal against fabricated votes, originally registered through fraud, as well as against groundless ob jections. However, the Noble Lord has waved these ad vantages, and we must do him the credit of presuming that he had good reason for such forbearance—albeit to us un known. The domestic circumstances of the Noble Lord and of his family are such as render it more than possible that his further efforts as a Member of Parliament may be displayed on a different field from the House of Commons, and that the •ery important measure by the introduction, the defence, and management of which his Lordship has so highly distinguished himself in the eyes of all his country men, must owe its future fortunes to the guidance of other —we are sure not more vigorous or skilful—bands. ( From the Morning Advertiser.) . _ Though the pressure of various other topics of great though temporary interest has prevented our devoting cur attention for some days past to the Church of Scotland question, e have not been inattentive observers of %hat took place in the House of Lords on the subject on Tues_ day se'nnight. The Earl of Aberdeen must by this time be convinced that he has, to use a very homely but very expressive phrase, " taken the wrong sow by the ears," in his attempts to overreach or intimidate the General As sembly of the Church of Scotland—backed as that As sembly is by the people of that country—on the question of patronage. If he had had any doubts on the subject be fore, those doubts must all have been dissipated by the pe tition which the Marquis of Breadalbane presented, on the occasion referred to, from the Commission of the General Assembly. By this time the Noble Earl must deeply re gret that he ever undertook to legislate on this subject in opposition to the clergy and people on the other side of the Tweed. But of this more anon. (From the Morning Post.) The Government journals are unanimously sneering at Lord Stanley for having given up the Irish Registration Bill. They chuckle and crow at a great rate. They have reason so to do. The abandonment of the Bill is a respite to their patrons, and of course an advantage to. them. Lord Stanley's regard for the public convenience, which the responsible Government utterly disregarded, meets with the usual gratitude of Whig-Radicals. Incapable of acting upon any such consideration themselves, they cannot give credit to any one for really doing so, and they treat Lord Stanley's declaration as a mere profession, which is a meet subject for sneers. Lord Stanley is a proud man, and cares no more, we dale say, for the flouting of Ministerial journals than he does for tho whistling of the wind upon Helvellyn. But it is to tEc public for all that. We caouot bat regret that I\l;nisterial journals should have bad any oppor -tlthity f r Ihe uttera:_c of ilea and boastings, ,ant and tinvi)servuut pgrsous imbibe 84 a cat-laps PRICE sd. milk. The Ministerial journals boast that Lord Stank y has given up his Bill, but they take care to say nothing about the nine battles upon that Bill in which the O'Con- Nell party was detected. They say nothing of the four Ministerial onslaughts upon that Bill in which Ministers were beaten, taking one drubbing after another with every mark of resianation save one. They took care not to re sign their places. _ _ _ - (From the Morning Herald.) T pr h o e ,o ti o m oo e h ot a h s again eirde a e de c ision rr i ved tion for the the Reuse o to Pr ivy Council Ccoommmmoins Commit tee of Education, and its conduct towards the schools of the Church. The vote was only carried by the glorious majority of two in the last Session. It was protested against by a majority of 112 in the House of Lords, and yet the Ministers cling to the desrerate hope of being able to carry it to-night by the indiffcrerce and absence of Conservatives, and by bringing up their reserve of Irish Papists and of EngliA Radicals_ This education vote is, in fact, a vote for or against the exi,tence of any ecclesiastical establish ment, and it is viewed as such by all who can think, whe ther amongst Whigs or Tories. If the Ministers can prevail in clogging the grant with any conalitiems of school inspection, which shall cut off the schoo's of the National Society—if they shall succeed in flooring the inspectors appointed by the Bishop and the Clergy they will succeed in giving a fatal tnrust to the Esta blished Church, and they will secure another year for working out their pians and plots for its final ruin and downfall. The conduct of the Privy Council Committee to the National Society has been marked throughout with all the insolence and tyranny which belong to men clothed in the brief authority of Royal prer,gative. They suc ceeded to the possession of funds which Lad been long virtually pleslu , d to an equal distribution amongst the National and British schools; and then, because the former would not submit to an inspection, which had been never contemplated by their charter or their terms of union, tlißy cut them off from every farthing of the grant, and they now menace the society with the loss of the Royal letters for public collections, if they persevere in their resistance to the Privy Council mandates !

To enter into -the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that:there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth 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 investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the rea 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 charact.r, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if not relinquished. The book will also be found to contain much valuable infor mation peculiarly interesting to those members of society who, from having indulged to excess in youth, find themselves un able to discharge those duties and functions which devolve on them in the ordinary course of life.

This regatta took place on Tuesday and Wednesday, but in consequence of the very unpropitious state of the weather the spectators were net so numerous as usual. The very excellent arrangements of the stewards and honorary secretary (Messrs. George Pocock, Ledicott, and Knight) however, provided some excellent sport. The result of the sailings for the Cups we subjoin. The Arab, in the first match, proved her superiority over her competitors ; she has never yet been beaten, but in this case it was close work, the Zadora being only one minute behind her. Mr. Wright, in the Elizabeth, was well up with ,both towards the latter part of the race, but unfortunately carried away his bobstay, which deprived him of all chance. In the second match yesterday, which was beautifully contested, the Elizabeth was but three minutes behind the Zadora. The other matches were also well contested ; but in that for the 101. Cup the superior sailing of the Vixen threw th• chances of her adversaries into the shade. There will be another regatta during the season, upwards of 1001. being subscribed yesterday for that purpose. The Club Dinner, at the Sun Hotel, was a very splendid affair, and did the worthy host infinite credit. James Weld, Esq., the Commodore, was in the Chair, and R.

To-morrow week will decide the important cup race over Aintree, for which we have now to offer to notice another important change in the premiership. Retriever had obtained decidedly " the call" of Deception ; when he was passed this morning by Broadwath. So strong was the disposition to back the latter, that, at one time, as low as 5 to 1 was taken, and 8 to 1 laid v. Retriever, no one would accept ; 100 to 10 offered, in several quarters, against Deception ; 70 to 10 was offered, in one bet, against Retriever and against the new leader; St. Bennett was in no favour; 20 *o 1 has been offered, within the last hour, against anything of Dawson's, " bar one ;" 100 to 6, and even to 7, was taken early this morning v. Sleight-of- Hand; before, however, th e c l ose o f b us i ness , 500 to 20 was laid by one of our best men, with other bets at the same figure ; 13 to 1 was laid v. Orelia, and then 200 to 20 offered, taken to 16 ; since then 50 to 5 has been booked ; Charles the Twelfth has been backed at 100 to 4, and a bet of 100 to 3i laid against him "conditionally" that the saute was taken on the Doctor; 20 to 1 was asked about Cruiskeen, and we believe afterwards 100 to 6 taken. . At all events she would be hacked against any thing of Mr. Dawson's, bar Broadnath, now the "first fa vourite." The prices will now vary every day; but the fol lowing may be taken as pretty close upon the run of the market this evening : THE LIVEIU'OOL cur. 11 to 2 on the field—off 8 to 1 agst Major Hay's Retriever—just taken 100 to 10 agst Mr. Allen's Orelia—taken then wanted to 9 11 to 1 agst Futwar Craven's Deception—not backed 18 to 1 agst Lord Miltown's Cruiskeen—take 20 freely 20 to 1 agst Lord Westminster's Lord Mayor—off 20 to 1 agst Lord Eglinton's St. Bennett—off 20 to 1 agst Mr. Meiklam's Modesty—off—take 25 25 to 1 agst Lord Grosvenor s Sleight-of-Hand—taken 25 to I agst Major Yarburgh's Charles Xll—just taken 27 to 1 agst Mr. Wormald's Bolus—taken 27 to 1 agst Mr. Ramsay's The Doctor 100 to 3 agst Mr. Eddisun's Recorder—off lOU to 3 agst Mr. Ilaworth's Fair Louisa Offers to take 7 to 20 two brat the field. THE JULY. STAKES.-3 to 1 was offered against sister to Merle, last night, but this morning, we believe, sto 2 was taken; we heard 20 to 10 offered. There was evidently a strong penchant " for the grey." Goonwoon Cur.-4 to 1 offered on the field ;Bto 1 agst Bloomsbury—taken ST. LEGER.-5 to 2 offered v. Crucifix—(take 3 to 1) ; 9 to laid v. Launcelot ; 100 to 3 Vicerey—taken; 25 to 1 Broadwath—taken NEWMARKET JULY MEETING. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. The list for this afternoon contains only two races, and they are utterly destitute of interest; for the first, the D. I. Plate, the entries are, the Duke of Grafton's Montreal, Mr. Pettit's St. Francis, and Mr. Combe's e, by Actaeon, out of Evens ; for the other, a Two-year-old Selling Stakes, Gen. Grosvenor's Blue Pill, 111 r. Newton's c, by Dr. Syntax, out of his Fanchion, Mr. Rogers's Jessica (late Cutty), by St. Nicholas, and Lord Lichfield's f, by Sir Hercules, out of Mr. Cooke's Ulrica. FURTHER, PARTICULARS OF TUESDAY. Handicap.—Bob Peel made all the running, and won cleverly by a length. July.—Sister to Merle took the lead, followed by the York shire Lass colt, Mcssene, and Mosque, to the corner of the Plantation, where the Yorkshire Lass went in front, and won easy by a length, the same distance separating second and third; /Eolian and the Mona colt were beaten off. The winner is scratched for the Chesterfield Stakes. In the course of the afternoon two or three heavy storms fell, the Heath being badly attended. Of the select few per sent the following were the principal : Duke of Graftun ; Earl Jersey, Earl Verulam, Earl of Albemarle, Earl of Lichfield, Earl of Oxford ; Lord G. Bentinck, Lord J. Fitzroy, Lord Villiers ; Hon. G. S. Byng, Hon. G. Fitzroy, Hon. H. Rous, Hon. Wodehouse ; Colonel Peel ; Messrs. Greville, Payne, Thornhill, Worrall, Irby, Neville, Powell, Ha w k er , & c. The betting in the course of the day was as follows.

The Tories have chuckled very much over Mr. Wynn's recommendation, given a few nights ago in Committee on the Ecclesiastical Revenues Bill, to convert the side aisles of the Cathedrals into se many churches, and have preachers to deliver ser mons and perform public worship in them. This is no honour to the Tories, that they should chuckle at it, nor to the Church, which they are se eager to extend. The recommendation was given long ago, and by adopting it they admit that these massive and costly buildings are at present no better than a show, and are not put to that use, the worship of the Almighty, for which they were built. The pro position of the Tories to convert them to use, im plies that at present they are little better than useless. A lesson, however, may be learned from thei r ad missions. Will th e Ch urc h- ex t ens io n i s t s assure the public that the fabrics they now desire to erect will not speedily become, like St. Paul's and the rest of the Minsters throughout the country, rather memorials of ignorant fear or ignorant piety than. temples adapted to the heartfelt worship of a grateful people, resounding habitually, if not daily, with their fer vent prayers ? Will they, or can they, convince the public that in a short time the priests for whom they now demand endowments will not become mere idle sinecurists, like the Deans and Chapters, who at present prevent useful reform by their remonstancee abcut vested rights, as if nothing were sacred but extortion for theirconvenience? A building, whether used or not, is a perpetual charge. It mast be pre , served by labour, cleaned and painted, or it will soon go to ruin. An ordained priest, like the build ing, is also a perpetual charge to the community. He cannot, as the rule, or he must not, turn him self to other occupations ; so that the proposition to build more churches, and endow more clergy men, is equivalent to fixing on the industry of the community an additional national debt. But so ciety is now changing more rapidly than ever it changed before. In particular, as to religious mat ters, the opinions of mankind some time ago reached the barren tip-top hill of deference to the priest. hood, and are now rapidly sliding down to the quiet, peaceful, and fertile vale of deference to na ture. Should the same progress continue and in crease in rapidity, is it not possible, is it not almost certain, that, before another generation has passed, the temples which the priesthood now call on us to incur a debt to erect, will be as little frequented for purposes of worship as St. Paul's or West minster Abbey ? If there be a possibility of that, why build them ? Some of our readers have probably attended public worship in St. Paul's, and have rem‘ked how anxiously the beadles keep people from stray ing to admire the temple, how hurriedly the service is performed, and how speedily, at its close, all the congregation is swept into the street. It is plainly no longer intended to serve the purposes of a church, but is a mere spectacle, delighting the eye and the understanding by its beautiful architectural symme try, hallowed in our hearts as the resting place of our great forefathers, and containing the slight me morials by which the nation has honoured them, but not serving the common purposes of religious instruction. While there are cathedrals and churches in every part of the land which are rarely or never employed, of which, at least, not a tenth part of the use is made which might be made, it is the most wanton and foolish extravagance to build more churches, and endow more parsons, to en tail a perpetual charge on the industry of our successors. At the same time, as the idea of making the cathedrals useful has been adopted by the Church men, may it not be followed out advantageously. There are, for example, hundreds, if not thousands of persons in the metropolis, who must work of a Sunday, such as compositors, coachmen, journey men bakers, &c. Why not open Sr. Paul's and Westminster Abbey, and all the churches, to them on Saturday or Monday, as is done, be it remem bered, in Catholic countries whence Protestantism was borrowed, without being on this point improved? Why, too, cannot the priests give religious instruc tions on those days? Saint Monday, also, let us ob . serve, is a very dangerous day for workmen, and why should not the pri7sts, who pretend to be so extremely anxious for the welfare, worldly and spi ritual, of this class, exert themselves, and endea vour to substitute the worship of the Almighty in St. Paul's or Westminster Abbey, on Monday, for the worship of the gin demon in the public-house? This would be a .glorious rivalry and victory for vocal and inst rumenta l, and a them, could they win it. Let them make their reli gion a s s acceptablesplendid taesmrin)luess an music, make it ; an d( so , seduce workmen on Monday from indulgence in low and gross sensuality to spiritual and heavenly mus e i ngs . There are services performed in most ca thedrals on one or two week-days. There is choir singing and chaunting, though some Deans and Chapters are accused of having robbed the service al God to gratify their own palates. There are services on festival days, and why not also on a Monday, for the purpose of winning the attend ance of those who cannot come on a Sunday ? Their prayers, we dare vouch, would be as accept able to the Deity on Monday as on Sunday, and would be as efficacious in influencing their own hearts and minds. The great objection, We beli , .vc, is, that it is not the Worship On the Sabbath ; and the Jews, a pastoral people, with no diversity of occupations, set apart one day in seven, when the whole of them might join in wonlhip. The more occupations become diversified in society, however, the more division of labour extends—and both are the consequences of an increase of mankind—the more impossible it becomes for a large commercial and manufacturing nation to adhere to the rigid rule prescribed for the pastoral Jews. At the seine time, the spirit of the ordinance which they obeyed will be best observed by following the recommendations here given. The Christians select a different day of the week for rest and worship from the Jews, and why should not the bakers take a diffe rent day from the bricklayers or carpenters ? Why should not compositors and editors who work on Sunday set apart Monday or Saturday for rest as well as the Jews? What day of the seven is set apart seems of less importance than setting apart one, and if all the society cannot by any possi bility worship on the Sun's-day, it is congenial to the spirit of that great ordinance that they should worship on the Moon's-day, or on Thor's-day, or Saturn's-day, or any other convenient day. Our suggestion is more in accordance with the setting apart one day out of seven for worship, than the intolerance of those who will only allow of worship on a day which they choose, or some other persons choose for them. The real ground, however, on which the proposition would be opposed, is the trouble it would give the priesthood. At pre sent those gentlemen labour one day out of seven, while other men labour six. They break the commandtner.ts they preach, and actually reverse its terms for themselves. Let them follow their own precepts, and labour—preach if necessary —six days in the week, and rest one; let them open some of their churches every day, and instead of covering their own idleness by a demand for more parsons and more churches ; let them exert themselves and use the churches they have, and they will find that they possess ample means to give spiritual instruction to the whole people. Till they do that—till every sinecure priest be called into activity—till they each and all labour six days in the week at their calling, like other men, the public, if it have discernment and sincerity, will treat the demand for more parsons and more churches as most. shameless, impudent, and extor- tionate. OPIUM CLAIMS.— Mr. Make] nson, of the house of Forbes and Co., agents for a large portion of the Parsee merchants in Bombay, states that the most disastrous consequences e a e r d e o l i f ke al l l y p t a o t ak r tsofepa India,iee t o i f t s he omcommercial be no t body of done as to the opium claims. The following is an extract from a Bombay Parsee house, dated Jan. 29, 1840, and addres se d t o Messrs.
