Vottrp. THE WOODLAND. BY THE LATE ROBERT NICOLL. (From Tait's Magazine) The Woodland wild!—wilt thou go with me Where the squirrel is perched on his oaken tree — Where the yellow fern doth wave its head— Where the hand of night the dew hath laid— And the winds, that wander to and fro, Kiss the brown leaflets as they go— Where the morning sun peeps in so mild To the dark green nooks of the woodland wild? The woodland wild !—where the dun deer roam, And the song-birds build them a happy home— Where the grass is green, and the turf, so sweet, Seems shorn by the tread of fairy feet — Where the daylight comes, so richly dim, And the cushat's coo seems a hermit's hymn, The care-worn heart might be self-beguiled To forget its woes in the woodland wild! The woodland wild !—where the hazels grow, Where the ladye-broom doth its branches throw — Where the god-built sky is in patches seen Through the roof of leaves. There aye hath been The home of those wild and fairy flowers That gladden all Nature's life and our's. As they bloom by the stream—that prattling child— That wanders along through the woodland wild ! The woodland wild !—if thy heart be pure, If thy faith in the right be firm and sure, Go wander the woodland paths within, And the love of nature woo and win ; - Drink of the cup of beauty there, Where the breath of Omnipotence scents the air; For the Father of beauty in love hath smiled On the sweet green bowers of the woodland wild ! The woodland wild !—long, long ago I have buried myself its leaves below, And dreamed of its beauteous tenants all— 'Tis the linnet's home and the fairies' hall ! 'Tis the spot where the wondrous monk of old - His hermitage reared in the pleasant wold ; . By its door a cry#tal springlet boiled For the pilgrim to drink in the woodland wild! The woodland wild !—what pleasant stories Make sunlight over its olden glories— Of Robin Hood, and his bowmen bold— The raids they made, and the tales they told. In winter, in spring, and in summer time, The glorious forests are aye in prime ; For glad thoughts for ever are round them piled, Ttiose grassy glades in the woodland wild ! The woodland wild !—make haste—make haste Away with me and its gladness taste ; We will wander beside each gashing stream Where flowers in the water reflected gleam ; We will follow its paths, and pluck its flowers And lie on its grass in the evening hours, Till the dying sunlight, soft and mild, Warns us away from the woodland wild ; STATE OF BRITISH GUIANA. (From the Guiana Chronicle, of Sept. 2.) PerhapS there never was a closer coincidence of sentiment among intelligent men, generally holding different political views, than is now observable in this Colony, on the subject of its condition and prospects. It is not pretended that there is any violence on the part of the peasantry, or, indeed, that they are more wicked than other human beings would be, si milarly circumstanced. Having no want unsupplied, no il legal or harsh restraint placed upon them, it would be strange that they should exhibit insubordination, or very glaring symptoms of discontent. What all persons capable of form ing an opinion agree upon, is this, that the cultivation of the country has been going back, with awful celerity, since the Ist of August, last year, and, if a vast addition be not made, without delay, to our labouring population, must, at no dis tant era, be entirely given up. • Our crop, as the official returns show, has diminished and is diminishing, with the regularity of a geometrical series. Every fraction, periodically announced, must be divided again, by another fraction, to find the result for the succeed ing period. Ten thousand five hundred and thirty three Arigsheads, measured the decrease on the first six months of 1839 as compared with the first six of 1838, on one article,— sigar alone. Twenty thousand hogsheads of sugar will not nearly cover the decrease on this whole year, as compared with only ordinary years nnder the coercive system. And that it will amount to much more, in 1840, is clear to every one who knows how desperately our planters have wrought to take their ripe canes off and turn them into sugar, neglecting the processes necessary fdr future cultivation. It was lamen table to see the first-rate ships in the river, waiting for five or six months, for cargoes of produce, and then taking away sand. Our mercantile navy has dwindled down to a miserable show of idle, light, vessels. Nor shall we be less surprised, than gratified to ascertain, that the present panic among the merchants of Water-street is owing entirely to the shutting op of the dollars in the office of the receiver-general, for the redemption of the joe notes, and not partially to a social dis order, more deeply seated, and more difficult to cure. From the retention in the colony, as wages of the money that used to ,enrich the absentee, they who supply, for colonial con sumPtion, the comforts and luxuries of life, will enjoy for a while segaudy sort of prosperity. But it is as deceptive as it is gaudy : for the blast that overthrows the planter, will not long spare the merchant and the artizan. It is not that there is a strike among the labourers, a secret combination, an open determination not to work. That might be overcome. The plan of our peasantry, who, although we acquit them of the charge of collusion, are astonishingly unanimous in their mode of procedure, is, to perform just so much labour, that the planter cannot ab ruptly dispense with their services, but so little, that all his operations are retarded and disturbed. A rustic goes to a proprietor and finds employment at once, being not even asked for a certificate of character. For a day or two, per for a week, he works tolerably well : he receives money, aad it allowed the use of a house ; and the very acquisitions whirls were designed as an encouragement to industry, hold omit a lard to indolence. It is very easy to blame the planter for not turning him off at once, or making him pay hard money rent for his cottage. The thing can never be ac complished but by unanimity : and how shall any set of pro prietors be unanimous, each of whom is himself in so des *Tee a condition, that his outlay for labour is limited only by the length of his purse, and, i►► the case of those who have to do With the mortgagee and money-lender, is irrespective even of that ? Among all our negro peasants, there is a strong disinclina tion to field labour. It is to be mastered in no other way than by operating upon their necessities, appetites, or pas slims. As to endeavouring to reason them or preach them into the culture of the cane and cotton pieces, that is com pletely out of the question. Not one of them will adhere to the tillage of the soil, one moment after he thinks he can do better. The most sober of them are field labourers only until they can purchase, with their easily-earned money, from some proptietor abandoning his estate, a cottage and a provision ground of their own, which shall render them thenceforth, quite independent of both cotton and sugar. For thirty miles or more along the coast to the eastward of the Demerara River, the road, in former times, lay between rich cotton-pieces, that flourished both towards the sea shore, and towards the interior. The road is still there, but it now runs through a country little better than a desert. The cotton-pieces are given up to nature, and the regular inequalities of the banks of courida and black sedge are all that remain to show where the hand of man was. But that desert is being fast peopled. Cottages are rising with extra ordinary rapidity and frequency, built by retired agricultural labourers, who, in twelve months, have amassed enough of money to become, actually, proprietors or tenants of patches of ground, on which they support themselves, and as many more as they choose to admit into their society. Time, in stead of diminishing an evil like this, is continually aggra vating it. Yet it cannot be disputed, that the present good prices of the staples at home, now compensate the planter, in some degree, for the smallness of his manufacture. If things go-on upon the existing• system, the mother country, for a year or trio, will suffer in a heavier ratio than her colonies. B r at great and well-founded alarms prevail, lest the protective system be suddenly exploded, and foreign sugars introduced on the same terms as those of the British settlements. The deficiencies of the national revenue, great as they are, and likely to increase, and the demands of the English people, seem to justify a fear that the burden of the loss caused by the emancipation, will be shifted from England to the West Wins: that England must have, and will have, cheap sugar, dough her colonies sho u ld be r u i ne d. Al rea dy h ave the clamours of the radical press, respecting foreign slave sugar, and of the philanthropical press, respecting foreign free, and the unaccountable silence of the conservative organs, diffused general apprehensio n among our propr i etary b o d y. I t must be recollected, that it is not want of money-capital, that is the caner of the present crisis. A man might come out with the most copious supplies of money, yet he would, in the present state of things, find little or nothing, of an agricultu ral kind, on which to employ it with profit. Hardly higher wages can be afforded than what are now current. Now, we cannot conceal from ourselves, that there are parts of the world, in which, on account of the excess of population, capital may at once be employed by our rivals to the best ad vantage. Therefore, we encounter a double risk : that of being ruined by the frauds of the slave-holder, and that of suffering from the new impetus given to free labour, elsewhere. If the current of commercial prosperity set in towards the East, it will be a very hard matter to bring it back into its old channel. But it is idle to suppose, even for argument's sake, that if foreign free sugars be admitted openly, the door trillnet be thrown open to the clandestine admission of the product of slave labour. A clarions proof of the strong sense entertained by every one_ t ey the imminence of the danger by which we are beset, itifOrded by the readiness of all, to bury old differences, rltllj AIWA In a common effort at self-preservation. The itertitOt who is not to be blamed for the arrival of the crisis, Ina who ? oOrtainly, ought to have seen its sure approach sooner, is willing to do what he can. Planters and merchants lOU in expressing a conviction, that they must do some .. Wog. A public meeting, and a memorial, are still talked of, atal we only want one or two active men to set them on foot. 414 It . has become a struggle for existence, all party feeling is bud Aside. Them* arnmaterials for one f the strongest and most affecting repreenstations to the home government and the British people, tharan unhappy country laid before those who could save it from destruction. Lord Normanby's sentiments regarding the introduction of Emigrants from the East, are generally known. but the conjuncture is too urgent, to be satisfied by the opinion of a ars?gle minister. Immigration may be conducted on a good pnnciple, so as to benefit, incalculably, the two extremities ofthe British Empire, giving the one that which it so much wants, and which the other can so well spare it. In the name of justice, and humane and wise policy : for the sake of consistency and honour : on behalf of her expatriated sons, the fruits of whose long toil are about to be wrested from their grasp, of her merchants and her seamen, once the guar dians of her power and glory, of her artizans, who need a large market for their wares, not dependent on the precarious tenure of foreign caprice, of her negro subjects, about to lose the blessings extorted for them by the wise and the good, let mother-country be implored to rescue her West Indian pos sessions, from the peril which stares them on all sides. No thing but immigration can save us, immediate and to a vast extent. We will enter into every solemn engagement, con sent to every stringent precaution, that humanity can sug gest : and we will support any machinery, however cumber some, that you may think necessary for the protection of the stranger. If, then, England, with this opportunity of great ness and benevolence before her, neglect to avail herself of it, she will deserve to perish ignominiously amid the curses of her children, and to be remembered with the execrations of the whole human family as a nation that was wilful, not humane, and that struck her own light fetters from the limbs of some thousands of slaves, that the avaricious and cruel foreigner might torture the bones and sinews of many mil lions. These are no visionary speculations. Only a year of of freedom has elapsed, and they are being realized, every w here , already, in Surinam, in Cayenne, in Martinique, in Guadeloupe and Cuba, in Manilla and Brazil, in every place in which row the staples, beginning to be neglected over tat portion of the trophical West, which is sub' Great Britain. ject to The Earl and Countess of Wilton embarked on board their yacht on Thursday last, at Devonport, and sailed the same day for Lisbon, where it is the noble lord's intention to pass a few days, and then to sail for Gibralter, and from thence go to Naples, and then return, by Cadiz, t o th e F rench coast, w h en they la nd, and go to Paris for the winter, 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. (Continued from our last.) Dr. Pusey has lately addressed a letter to the Bishop of Oxford, which is sufficiently quiet, guarded, and wary, to si lence the scruples of those who do not go to the root of the whole question, upon the solid scciptural principles, zealously maintained, even to the flames of martyrdom, by such men as those to whom the Oxford memorial is about to be erected; but it contains no argument in favour of the peculiarities of the Oxford Tract system, which has not been again and again refuted in the contests of the champions of Protestantism against Popery. We say " the peculiarities" of the Oxford Tract system, because the defenders of that system, when pressed in argument, always contrive to mix up what is pecu liar to their alleged Via Media, with what really belongs to the true Via Media of Anglicanism, as distinguished from Po pery on the one hand, and non-episcopal Protestantism on the other ; so that in refuting what is extraneous, extravagant, unscriptural, or superstitious, in their opinions relative to episcopacy, the sacraments, and the church, we are exposed to the gross misrepresentation of not adhering to the Apos tolical doctrines and rites of the Anglican communion; whereas the very question is, what those doctrines and rites are; and with regard to the real via media, we beg leave to say that the Church of England opposers of the peculiarities of the Oxford Tract system, (witness the names we have already mentioned) have never swerved from expressing their con scientious and zealous attachment to the Prayer-book, Ar ticles, and Homilies of the Church of England ; whereas the Tractators are always intimating that some things went too far and others not far enough ; that the Homilies are unscrip tural ; the Articles fundamentally defective, though not posi tively untenable ; and the Prayer-book itself sadly garbled, mangled, and diluted, to please the taste of Protestantism ; that we need a reform backward ; and that our " dear sister" Rome—though far from perfect, and requiring salutary amend ment—has been shamefully maligned ; that almost all her al leged false doctrines and superstitions may be accepted in a good sense ; and that, in short, what is really Protestantism (which they deny Anglicanism to be) is worse that Popery. We are not, however, without episcopal remonstrators ; and we trust their number will increase, now that the true character of the Tracts has become notorious, and the great evils resulting from them manifest. The Bishop of Chester has discharged his conscience in the following solemn warn ing to his clergy : . . . _ Many subjects present themselves, towards which I must be tempted to direct your thoughts. One more especially concerns the Church at present, because it is daily assuming more serious and alarming aspect, and threatens a revival of the worst evils of the Romish system. Under the spacious pretence of deference to antiquity and respect for primitive models, the foundations of our Protestant church are under mined by men who dwell within her walls •, and those who sit in the Reformers' seat are traducing the Reformation. It is again becoming matter of question, whether the Bible is suf ficient to make wise unto salvation ' • the main article of our National Confession—justification by faith—is both openly and covertly assailed ; and the stewards of the mystery of grace are instructed to reserve the truth which they have been ordained to dispense, and to hide under a bushel those doc trines which the apostles were commanded to preach to every creature." The question of tradition is not an indifferent matter. The canon of revelation is either closed or it is not. We maintain that is closed with the last chapter of the Apocalypse ; and that " If any man shall add to these things, God shall add to him the plagues that are written in this book." Now there are those who say that tradition is as much the word of God as the written word, they therefore add it to the written word. How do they construe this denunciation ? To us it sounds fearfully, as applied to this case. We have however neither the warrant nor the wish so to apply it ; but, in all solemnity, we must affirm, that we have lately read tracts and sermons on tradition, which we could see no way of excluding from this awful woe. It is no reply to say, "We mean apostolic traditions," for there is no exception made for the case of alleged apostolic traditions ; all the traditions which were di vinely intended to be retained are " written in this book." But after all, what can we prove, in the nineteenth century, to be apostolic traditions ? Of the inaccuracy of oral convey ance, we have a remarkable illustration in our Lord's own history : " Jesus said, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee ? follow thou me. Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that this disciple should not die; yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die ; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee ?" (John xxi 23.) Here then a saying went abroad among the brethren, alleged to be uttered by our Divine Lord himself, his apostles themselves being the ear-witnesses ; and yet it was grounded upon a mistake, as St. John shews by quoting the exact words ; and the words, as written, are clear enough, though orally they were mistaken. Taking this incident with the next two verses, which conclude St. John's gospel, we cannot but think that the Holy Ghost recorded it expressly as a warning against listening to anything as divine or apostolical, but what is expressly " written for our learning ;" for imme diately after shewing what a mistake had gone abroad re specting our Lord's saying, which is corrected by writing down for all ages the exact words, the inspired writer goes on to say that " there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written, everyone, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the book s that should be written." It was probable, therefore, that many deeds and sayings of our Lord would be remembered and spoken of after his death ; but as if to shew us that no authority was to be ascribed to these transmitted recollections, the mistake above alluded to is significantly pointed out, as a warning against placing implicit confidence in oral statements; the inspired narrator immediately adding, •"This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true." In like manner, St. John had said in the chapter before, (the twentieth, verses 30, 31,) that " Many other signs truly did Jesus in the pre sence of his disciples, which are not written in thisbook ; but these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ." One of our Lord's sayings which the Holy Ghost intended that we should possess, though not recorded in the four gospels, is expressly recorded for our instruction in the Acts of the Apostles (Acts xx. 35,) " Remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive." We will now transcribe the substance of Bishop Wilson's remarks : " It is to me, I confess, a matter of surprise and shame, that in the nineteenth century we should really have the fun damental position of the whole system of Popery virtually re asserted in the bosom of that very Church which was reformed so determinately three centuries since from this self-same evil, by the doctrine and labours and martyrdom of Cranmer and his noble fellow-sufferers. " What ! are we to have all the fond tenets which formerly sprung from the traditions of men reintroduced, in however modified a form, amongst us ? Are we to have a refined tran substantiation—the sacraments, and not faith, the chief means of salvation—a confused and uncertain mixture of the merits of Christ and inherent grace in the matter of justification— remission of sins, and the new creation of Christ Jesus, con fined, or almost confined, to Baptism—perpetual doubt of pardon to the penitent after that sacrament—the duty and ad vantage of self-imposed austerities—the innocency of prayers for the dead—and similar tenets and usages which generate a spirit of bondage'—again asserted amongst us ? And is the paramount authority of the inspired Scriptures, and the doctrine of the grace of God in our justification by the alone merits of Jesus Christ which reposes on that authority, to be again weakened and obscured by such human superadditions ; and a new edifice of will-worship,' and ' voluntary humility,' and the rudiments of the world,' as the Apostle speaks, to be erected once more in the place of the simple Gospel of a crucified Saviour ? " My language is strong, my Reverend Brethren, but I think you will agree with me that it is not too strong for the occasion. You shall judge for yourselves. I select as a spe cimen of the whole system, and what forms its basis, so far as I can understand it from the various publications which have reached me, the following passage from the able, learned, and accomplished author of the Sermon on Tradition—for it is not necessary to disparage, in the slightest degree, the high endowments of the leaders in this new way. " With relation to the Supreme authority of inspired Scripture,' says the Professor of Poetry (Mr. Keble,) it stands thus—Catholic tradition teaches revealed truth, Scrip ture proves it ; Scripture is the document of faith, Tradition the witness of it ; the true creed is the Catholic interpretation of Scripture, or scripturally proved Tradition ; Scripture by itself teaches mediately, and proves decisively ; Scripture and Tradition taken separately together are the joint rule of faith.' " " So then Tradition is the primary, and Holy Scripture the secondary, teacher of Divine truth—so then we are to search the inspired Word of God, not as the one authoritative ade quate rule of faith, but as the document of what this Tradi tion teaches—we are to study the Scriptures, not in order to ascertain simply God's revealed will, but to prove Tradition by scriptural evidence—and the standard of revelation is no longer the Bible alone, that is, the inspired Word of the Eter nal God in its plain and obvious meaning, but Scripture and Tradition taken together are the joint rule of faith. " All this is surely sufficiently alaaming ; but it becomes in comparably more so, when we learn with what latitude the word Tradition is understood. It includes, as we gather from the other repeated statements of the learned author, unwrit ten as well as written' traditions, ' certain remains or frag ments of the treasure of Apostolical doctrines and Church rules ' in other words, an oral law, independent of, and dis tinct from the truths which arc directly scriptural;' which traditions are to be received apart from all Scripture evi dence, as traditionary or common laws ecclesiastical.' Sc. that it appears that Scripture, and unwritten as well as writ ten Tradition, are, taken together, the joint rule of faith. " I appeal to you, Reverend Brethren, whether we have not here a totally false principle asserted as to the Rule of Faith. I appeal to you, whether the very reading of this statement is not enough to condemn it. I appeal to you, whether the blessed and all-perfect Book of God is not thus depressed into a kind of attendant and expositor of Tradition. I appeal to you, whether this is not to magnify the comments of men above the inspired words of the Holy Ghost. I ap peal to you, whether this is riot to make Tradition an integral part of the canon of faith, and so to undermine the whole fa bric of the Reformation, or rather of 'the glorious Gospel of the blessed God,' which that Reformation vindicated and affirmed. _ _ _ _ " I am as far as possible from supposing, that the various pious and learned authors, to whose sentiments, and especi ally one of them, lam alluding, have any such intention. I am sure they have not. But the tendency of the system is not in my view the less dangerous. Such will and must be, I think, the general effect of its diffusion amongst a multitude of young divinity students, with comparatively little experi ence, and too apt to follow the new theories of popular and distinguished persons. " And wherefore this deviation from our old Protestant doctrine and language ; why this false principle ; why this new school, as it were, of Divinity ? Ancient testimony in its proper place, who had undervalued ? The dignity and grace of the Sacraments, who had denied ? The study of pri mitive antiquity, who had renounced? The witness of the early Fathers, who had disparaged ? Wherefore weaken, then, by pushing beyond its due bearing the argument which all writers of credit in our Church had delighted to acknow ledge ? The testimony of the Apostolical and primitive ages, for example, to the genuineness, authenticity, and Divine in spiration of the Canonical Books of the New Testament, as of the Jewish Church to those of the Old, who had called in question ? Or who had doubted the incalculable importance of the witness of the universal ancient Church at the Council of Nice to the broad fact of the faith of the whole Christian world, from the days of the Apostles to that hour, in the mys ter.es of the adorable Trinity and of the Incarnation, as there rehearsed and recognized ? Or who had called in question the other matters of fact which are strengthened by Christian antiquity—as the Divine authority and perpetual obligation of the Lord's Day—the institution and perpetuity of the two, and only two Christian Sacraments—the right of the infants of the faithful to the blessings of Holy Baptism—the Aposto lical usage of Confirmation—the permanent separation of a body of men for sacred services—the duty of willing rever ence from the people for them—the threefold rank of Mi nisters in Christ's Church—the use of Liturgies—the obser vation of the festivals of our Lord's birth, resurrection, as cension, and gift of the Holy Ghost—with similar points ; to which may be added, their important negative testimony to the non-existence of any one of the peculiar doctrines and claims of the modern Court and Church of Rome ? These and similar facts we rejoice to acknowledge, as fortified by pure and nncorrupted primitive tradition or testimony. " We rejoice also to receive, with our own Protestant Re. formed Church, the universal witness of the Catholic Fathers and ancient Bishops, expressed in the three Creeds, as a most important method of guarding the words of Revelation from the artful ambiguities of heretics, and as rules and terms of communion ; just as we acknowledge our modern Articles, Liturgy, and Homilies for the same purpose. We rejoice again in tracing back almost the whole of our most sublime and scriptural Liturgy to a far higher period than the rise of Popery —to the primitive ages of the Church in our own and every other Christian country. We thus admit, in its fullest sense, for its proper ends, the rule of Vincentius Lirinensis —Quod semper, quod ab omnibus, quod übique traditum est. And we receive such tradition for this one reason—be cause it deserves the name of just and proper evidence. It is authentic testimony. It is a part of the materials from which even the external evidences of Christianity itself are derived. It furnishes the most powerful historical arguments in support of our faith. It is amongst the proofs of our holy religion. " But evidence is one thing ; the rule of belief another. Not for one moment do we, on any or all these grounds, con found the history and evidences of the divinely inspired rule of faith, with that Rule itself. Not for one moment do we place Tradition on the same level with the all-perfect Word of God. Not for one moment do we allow it any share in the standard of revealed truth. Scripture and Tradition taken together are not—we venture to assert — ' the joint rule of faith ; but ' Holy Scripture containeth all things neces sary to salvation; so that whatsoever is not read therein, nor may be proved thereby, is not to be required of any man, that it should be believed as an article of faith.' And Tradition is so far from being of co-ordinate authority, that even the Ecclesiastical writers who approach the nearest to them, and are read in our Churches—which not one of the Fathers is—' for example of life, and instruction of manners ;' are still, as being uninspired, not to be applied to establish any one doctrine of our religion. Against this whole system, then, as proceeding upon a most false and dangerous principle, and differing from the generally received Protestant doctrine, I beg, Reverend Brethren, most respectfully to caution you." The Bishop of Calcutta goes on to shew the fearful evils which cannot but result from " this whole system, as pro ceeding upon a most false and dangerous principle." On this subject he says : " I confine myself to topics of which no dubious intiina. tions have been given. I say nothing of what may possibly follow—the prohibition of the unfettered use of the Scriptures —purgatory—the veneration of relics—prayer to the Virgin Mary—the intercession of saints—works of supererogation— monastic vows—the celibacy of the Clergy, &c., &c. " Already an amplitude is given, as we have seen, to the word Tradition, which may include anything and everything, and therefore justly awakens our increased alarm. Already texts of inspired Scripture are weakened or contracted to the narrowest and most doubtful sense. Already are expressions dropped on the subject of the holy Eucharist to which our ears are unaccustomed. Already are the idolatries and abo minations of the Church of Rome spoken of in these very books and tracts of controversy, with far too much tender ness. Already are Tradition and the Church too prominently brought forward, and Christ and the justification through his blood and the sanctification of his Spirit too little insisted on; whilst a feebler language is employed on these and other great doctrines of the Gospel even when they are introduced. Al ready are some rather lowering intimations given, not inten tionally I am sure, but conveying the impression to the or dinary reader, concerning our Articles and Homilies. Al ready are appeals made to documents which were superseded by the more purely evangelical formularies of our present Book of Common Prayer, with its Articles and Homilies, at the definitive settlement of our Reformed Church ; and a de sire not obscurely expressed that our Reformation had re tained more of the Traditionary model. "All this is but too natural. The false principle will go on ' eating as doth a cancer,' if things proceed as they now do. The inspired Word of God will be imperceptibly neg lected ; and the Traditions of men will take its place. The Church will supersede the Bible. The Sacraments will hide the glory of Christ. Self-righteousness wili conceal the righte ousness of God. Traditions and Fathers will occupy the first place, as we see in the sermons of the chief Roman Catholic authors of every age, and Christ come next or not at all ; and a lowered tone of practical religion will come in. '• The whole system, indeed, goes on to generate, as I can not but think, an inadequate and superficial and superstitious religion. The mere admissions of the inspiration and para mount authority of Holy Scripture will soon become a dead letter ; due humiliation before God, under a sense of the un utterable evil of sin, will be less and less understood ; a con viction of the need of the meritorious righteousness of the incarnate Saviour, as the alone ground of justification, will be only faintly inculcated ; the operations of the Holy Ghost in creating man anew will be more and more forgotten ; the nature of those good works which are acceptable to God in Christ will be lost sight of : and another Gospel' framed on the Traditions of men will make way for an apostacy in our own Church, as in that of Rome—unless, indeed, the evan gelical piety, the reverence for Holy Scriptures, the theolo gical learning, and the forethought and fidelity of our Divines of dignified station and established repute at home, interpose by distinct cautions to prevent it—as they are beginning to interpose, and as I humbly trust they will still more decisively do ; and as their signal success in the instance of the Neolo gical theories, a year or two since, may well encourage them to resolve on." The Bishop gives in his notes extracts corroborative of his statements. Thus, in illustration of his remark, that " al ready texts of Scripture are weakened, or contracted to the narrowest and most doubtful sense," he quotes as follows, from Mr. Keble's Visitation sermon on Tradition : " The ' good confession made by Timothy' can only mean the Apostles' Creed, or some corresponding formula recited at Baptism. The good thing committed' to Timothy was ' the treasure of Apostolical doctrines and Church rules,' the perfect Apostolical body of government, doctrine, and sacra mental grace.' This is a faithful saying, is an expression indicating a Christian proverb. Ancient Catholic tradi tion sets the Church's seal, as it were, upon one among many possible expositions, as that Melchizedek's feast is a type of the blessed Eucharist.' The Holy Ghost dwelling in us' can only be Apostolical or episcopal grace;' the treasure of sound doctrine was to be guarded by the grace of the Apos tolical succession. It is the Spirit that beareth witness, be cause the Spirit is truth,' or ' the truth,' that which causes the reality and substance of the Sacraments, and hinders them from being mere signs or shadows." In the same discourse, which is far from being so un guarded in its statements as the Remains of Mr. Froude, and some other publications, the Bishop finds such unscriptural language as the following, respecting the sacrament of the Lord's Supper : " ' The oblation and consecration of the Eucharist.' Its virtue as a commemorative sacrifice.' Its being a real, life giving miracle,' including a' mystical, spiritual, true and posi tive presence of Christ's blessed body and blood,' and being of a thoroughly mysterious nature both in Scripture and Tradition.' " (To be continued.) CONSECRATION. On Thursday, the 10th instant, the Lord Bishop of Chester consecrated the new church at Newton, in Mottram, which is dedicated to St. Mary, and contains upwards of 800 sit tings, 400 of which are free. A great number of clergymen, and many of the most respectable families of the surrounding neighbourhood were present. A most admirable sermon was preached on the occasion by the bishop, and the sublime morning service of our church was most impressively read by the Rev. W. Johnson, vicar of Mottram. To the surprise and great gratification of the bishop and all who were present, a rich service of communion plate, consisting of a large flagon, two large cups, silver gilt, and two beautiful silver salvers, was presented to the church, by Mrs. J. Sidebottom, of Harewood Lodge, whose benevolence on this and many other occasions deserves the highest praise. Two surplices, made of the finest linen, were also presented by Mrs. John Ashton, of Newton, who entertained the bishop, clergy, and ma►ay friends with a most sumptuous and elegant repast. The su perior manner in which the church is fitted up reflects much credit upon the wardens and those whom they have employed. The bishop gave directions for the heating of the church du ring the winter months, and offered in the most handsome manner to defray the expense of the whole apparatus. The land upon which the church is erected was given in the kindest manner by James Ashton, Esq., Newton Lodge, whose liberality on this occasion cannot be too highly eulo gised, inasmuch as the gift of a portion of land for the build ing of a temple to be dedicated to the service of Almighty God may be said to pave the way of all those deeds of bene ficence which are subsequently required for the completion of so important and laudable a work. The Rev. G. W. Bower, curate of the parish church of Ashton-under-Lyne, has been presented to the incumbency by the patron, the vicar of Mottram. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY.—This evening her Royal High ness the Duchess of Kent proceeded to town, accompanied by the Princes Ernest and Albert of Saxe Coburg, to pay a visit to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester. Lord Alfred Paget, Lady C. Dundas, and Count Kolowrath, attended the royal party. The above distinguished person ages will return to the castle this evening.

The Bon Accord, Captain Parker, belonging to Aberdeen, has arrived off Stromness, from Davis's Straits, with two fish. She left the icy regions on the 10th ult., and Captain Parker reports only 74 fish being taken at the date of his departure. We cannot state the dates of Captain Parker's communications with the different ships, but, in consequence of the lateness of the season, the fishery may be considered nearly a failure. Captain Parker reports as follows : llull Ships—The Abraham, eight fish ; Ellison, two ; Swan, three ; Duncombe, one ; True-love, nine ; Comet, four. Newcastle Ships—The Lady Jane, six fish ; Lord Gambier, two; Greville Bay, two. Burntisland Ship—The Undaunted, one fish. Kirkcaldy Ships—The Regalia, one fish ; Chieftain, four; Hecla, one ; Caledonia, clean. Dundee Ships—The Fairy, three fish ; Princess Charlotte, two ; Advice, five ; Friendship, two ; Horn, one ; Ebor, clean ; Aleander, ditto. Montrose Ship—The Eliza Swan, clean. Leith Ships—The Prince of Orange, one fish : William and Ann, four ; Clarendon, two. Boness Ship—The Alfred, three fish. Aberdeen Ships—The Bon Accord (arrived), two fish ; Neptune, one. Peterhead Ship—The Hannibal, one fish. ECONOMY IN CANDLES.—If you are without a rushlight, and would burn a candle all-night, unless you use the fol lowing precaution, it is ten to one an ordinary candle will gutter away in an hour or two, sometimes to the endangering the safety of the house :—" This may be avoided by placing as much common salt, finely powdered, as will reach from the tallow to the bottom of the black part of the wick of a partly burnt candle, when, if the same be lit, it will burn very slowly, yielding a sufficient light for a bed-chamber ; the salt will gradually sink as the tallow is consumed, the melted tallow being drawn through the salt, and consumed in the wick."—The Economist. PREVENTING BEER FROM BECOMING ACID.—A patent has been taken out in America for preserving beer from be coming acid in hot weather, or between the temperatures of 74 degrees and 94 degrees. To every 174 gallons of liquor the patentee, Mr. Storewell, directs the use of lib. of raisins in the following manner :—" Put the raisins into a linen or cotton bag, and then put the bag containing the raisins into the liquor before fermentation ; the liquor may be then let down at 65 degrees or as high as 70 degrees. The bag con taining the raisins must remain in the vat until the process of fermentation has so far advanced as to produce a white ap pearance or scum all over the surface of the liqour, which will probably take place in about 24 hours. The bag con taining the raisins must then be taken out, and the liquor left until fermentation ceases. The degree of heat in the place where the working vat is situated should not exceed 66 de grees, nor be less than 60 degrees. THE REVIVALS IN SCOTLAND. SYNOD OF ABERDEEN. This Synod met on Tuesday, and was opened with a dis course by the Rev. Mr. Davidson of the West Parish, from 2d Cor. iii. 7, 1. REVIVALS. An overture was introduced for vote of thanks to M-r. Da vidson for the opening discourse, and a request that it be printed. Mr. Foote moved the adoption of the overture. He remarked that the sermon was particularly interesting at the present time. when, as he believed, God was showering down more than the ordinary measure of the blessings of his Spirit. Air. Murray seconded the motion. A more able sermon he had seldoxn beard. He was sure his excellent friend would not misunderstand him, when he stated that he thought, in discussing such a subject at the present time, he might have adverted to the wonderful work of the Spirit of God now in progress in the west of Scotland. It was matter of complaint by God against us, that we regard not the work of the Lord, neither consider the operations of his hand. If his excellent friend believed, as he (Mr. Murray) was persuaded he did, that the Spirit of God was working signally and extensively, at the present time, in the west, it might have been well if he had adverted to this work. . . Mr. Pirie said - that if the public prints were correct in their descriptions of the proceedings in the west, anything more absurd, more disgusting, and more blasphemous than the scenes called revivals, he had never seen or neard of in the course of his existence. It might be that the Spirit of God was exhibiting itself and was at work in those places ; he was far from denying it, because he had no sure means of ascer taining, to a certainty, the facts ; but if he might speak from the statements of the public prints, he had never heard of any thing so likely to injure the cause of religion and the inte rests of society. Referring to the American revivals, he said, he earnestly trusted that the meetings which bore the same name in the west of Scotland were of a different character ; but was it not the fact that people assmbled together in the evening and continued preaching on, or whatever else that they did, the whole night ; This was one report, and he sus pected that it was true. This was certainly a practice highly objectionable, and he trusted that it would not be continued. Mr. Ferguson, assistant-minister, at Dunnichen (corre sponding member from the Synod Angus and the Mearns) said he had been engaged in the work at Dundee, and could declare it to be the work of the Spirit. He conceived it to be the highest honour which his Maker had conferred on him to have allowed him to proclaim the truths of God in that city. One single fact would shew the nature of these revivals. If they found not one person or two persons, but twenties and thirties, who before had passed their lives in godlessness and prayerlessness ; if they found these people awakened so far as to come night after night to hear the Word of God—was not that the Spirit of God ? Those that cared not for preach ing were awakened to a spirit of,love ; And it was with great sorrow indeed that he had heard the rev. gentleman express his opinions, and he could have wished that he (Mr. Pule) had been present to witness the impressive scene. With re gard to the sermon of their Moderator, he thought it calcu lated to put the mode of the Spirit's working on the best footing, and he could have wished that the gentleman who spoke last had heard it. Mr. Paull would pass no opinion whatever with regard to what he had read in the public prints about the extraordinary events which had taken place in the west of Scotland, farther than that he must be allowed to say that these events, as they are reported, are exceedingly similar to something which has taken place, and which is taking place, he believed in Ameri ca. He did not speak of what he had read in public prints about America, but from information which he had received from a respected friend there, who felt it his duty to know what took place at the revival meetings from his own obser vation, and was present at them, as long as his religious feel ings would allow him to be present, and he did not hesitate to say that they were a disgrace to true religion. He (Mr. Paull) would make no application of this remark to what had taken place in the west of Scotland. The rev. gentleman who spoke last mentioned that he had seen people who had before been careless of religion become attentive to it, and this was one test of the fruits at which he truly and cordially rejoiced—what he found fault with was that this matter, he thought, had been taken up a little too hastily. They ought to have waited a little till they had been able to see more of the effects of this work ; and he thought that in the exercise of their duty as Christians, it would have been more to the honour and advantage of true religion if they had done so, It ought to be the subject of their earnest prayers that these effects would be such as they would all rejoice in. Mr. Gordon defined a revival to be—faith in God bearing fruit unto holiness—and this was nothing new. There was not a Sabbath passed that Mr. Paull, and Mr. Pink, and his other reverend brethren, were not calling their flocks to be converted. They all prayed that the Spirit might come down, and that an effectual change might be produced on the hearts of their hearers ; and, when this change was produced, then regeneration was accomplished : and this was the practical result looked for in all their labours, and what they should all unite in thankfulness to God for. This was his idea of revi vals, and the question was, Were the revivals now taking place such as gave reason to believe that the blessed Spirit had come down amongst them ? Mr. Pirie had referred to what he had beard and read in newspapers. Now, he la mented to say, that numbers of the newspapers were taking up the cause of all that was opposed to the truth of God, and their views on this subject were similar to their views of the kingdom of God. Looking to the character of newspapers in general, he was not surprised to see the statements made in them with regard to this work. But they were not left to reports in newspapers. Mr. Burns had, before the Presby tery of Glasgow, given his unaffected, simple, and judicious report ; and were not the members of the Presbytery of Glasgow, who listened to that report, as learned and as pious as were the members of the Presbytery of Aber deen ? Did be not there assert that it was a work of which God was the author ? Their Dissenting brethren also, in Kilsyth, had offered up thanks to God for this change which had taken place. Influential members of the Presby tery of Glasgow had gone there, and the answers which had been received to letters written to that quarter had compelled many to acknowledge that the hand of God had been seen there. Mr. Pirie should have sought his information from these sources, and not from the worldly and infidel press, as many of the newspapers, which in other respects they did not disapprove of, were. The Presbytery of Glasgow had found that men had been turned from being infidels to read their Bible, and to say to it, as it were, " Thou art my guide for the time to come !" The drunkard had been turned from intemperance, and was living as the servant of God. All quarrelling had been healed, and churelimen and volun taries were meeting together on the common ground of their faith in Christ. These were the effects, and, if they looked to the pure sources of information, these were the evidences of the work. The newspapers were not evidence that a judicious Christian man could go upon. When he looked to America, he found that the circumstances had taken place at Dundee and Kilsyth were like the circumstances quoted in that country by President Edwards and Dr. Sprague. They ought not to condemn these doings ; and when they found that people sat up all night, they should not look to that, but to the deep feeing, and consider that the Apostle Paul had preached late at night. All things should be done in decency and in order. The people did not dwell on time, or on two or three hours later; and it was better that they should be all night there than in the alehouses, and in their infidel club-houses, and in their dancing clubs—(laughter)— where they would have been, but which had all gone down since these revivals had taken place. Mr. Davidson, of Drumblade said, that they should take care not to bring themselves into the awful situation of the Pharisees of old, who attributed the wonderful works of Christ to Beelzebub. He did not say that that had been done here to-day, but he thought that he had heard some expressions of a light kind. (Hear, and a laugh.) Mr. Davidson had, he thought, shown more wisdom and pru dence than some others who had referred to this subject, in not taking up the point at all in his sermon, but in confining himself to the word of Almighty God, and the promises and principles laid down in that Word. Mr. Bisset regretted that, in these revivals, as they were called, there was, in his opinion, so little of the character of reality ; and he was bound to say that they appeared to him to resemble the crackling of thorns under a pot. They seemed to be something like the exhibitions which bore the same name in America, and the scenes enacted on that stage and on this appeared to bear a considerable deal of resem blance. He would, in conclusion, throw out a suggestion to fathers and mothers, that if they wish to have the healthy pulse of religion beat in their families, especially he would warn those who have young and delicately-formed females, to put an absolute inhibition on their frequenting such scenes, till such time as more satisfactory evidence was pro cured that it was the work of God. He would make this suggestion to those especially who had families of young women of easy and warm affections, to inhibit them from attending such meetings. He was much afraid that these things would be as transient and evanescent as they had been in former days.. _ Mr. Robertson said, that from the outward phenomena reported as having appeared at these revivals, be had serious doubts as to their value, especially as recently there had been nothing of the same kind in the church. They were not, however, new in the country. Similar exhibitions had attended the progress of the Wesleys ; and he found that both John Wesley and his brother at first concurred in the views now put forth regarding these things, but they did not continue to hold this opinion ; and Charles Wesley at any rate became convinced that they were physical effects pro duced from physical causes, and, in the latter part of his life, laboured to prevent anything of the kind occurring at meet ings at which he officiated. He had lately read a paper by Dr. Duff, in reference to revivals in India, but there ap peared nothing in these revivals like the demonstrations to which he had alluded. The Doctor showed that the conver sions to the religion of Christ were brought about in the course of Divine Providence, in a solid and satisfactory man ner, without any extraordinary movement ; and in the pre fatory remarks on the paper, Dr. Duff, with that caution, and solid judgment, and deep feeling of piety, for which he was distinguished, said that, with regard to the revivals in this country, the time was not yet come when they could speak of their fruits, and that there was reason to watch them with jealousy before they gave a decided opinion on the sub ject. (Hear, hear.) Under present circumstances, he hoped that the Court would pass no opinion on the subject, one way or another. The adoption of the overture was then unanimously agreed to ; and the Moderator, in the most complimentary terms, communicated the thanks of the Synod to Mr. Davidson for his excellent sermon. THE VETO _____ • _ _ Mr. Robertson brought forward an overture for the repeal of the Veto Act. Mr. Paull seconded the motion. [The speeches of the mover and seconder occupied about seven hours.] Dr. Brown spoke for an hour and a half against the over ture.—Mr. Gordon supported the same view. Overture carried by a majority of 35 to 26. There was only one elder in the majority ; in the minority there were nine. This terminated the Synod public business.—Abridged from,the Aberdeen Constitutional. LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.—The mail train from the north was on Monday morning thrown off the rails about a mile from Fenny Stratford, in consequence of running over two cows. The travelling post-office was much injured, and the horse-box, in which a great portion of the mail bags are deposited, was nearly broken to pieces as well as another carriage. An engine and a second class carriage were im mediately sent for the conveyance of the mails to London, where they arrived two hours and forty minutes after the proper time. In consequence of the travelling-office being broken, all the letters for the towns between Wolverton and London, and for the post towns on this line on each side the the railway , were una v oidably brought on to London, from which place they were again despatched by the day mail to their destination. Fortunately the two clerks and the guard employed in the travelling post-office escaped without injury. FATAL ACCIDENT.—An inquest was held on Tuesday, be fore P. F. Curry, Esq., coroner, to inquire touching the death of Elizabeth Hurst. It appeared that the deceased lodged at a house in Bay Horse-lane, and got her living by hawking crockery ware. She had been for some time afflicted with the jaundice, and was frequently in the habit of getting drunk. Oa Saturday night last, she returned to her lodgings in a state of intoxication. She went up stairs and was en deavouring to enter the room of another lodger, when she fell backwards down the stairs. She was taken up in a state of insensibility, and put to bed. A surgeon was sent for, who found her in a dying state. She never spoke after the acci dent, and died at seven o'clock on Sunday morning. Mr. T. W. Catell, the surgeon who attended her, examined the body and found a great quantity of blood suffused over the surface of the brain, which had caused death. He could not, however say, whether the- effusion was the consequence of intemperate habits, or of a severe blow which she had re ceived at the back part of her bead. The jury returned a verdict of " accidental death." obipping fitttiliwntt.

There is no change in the market since Tuesday, prices continue steady, in a great measure to be attributed to the export demand. The sales to-day are about 4,000 bales-300 American for export; yesterday 5,000 bales-1,600 bales for export. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, OCT. 15. (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.) Since Tuesday last the imports of Grain from foreign ports have been to a very moderate extent, including about 1200 qrs of foreign Wheat from London; and the arrivals of new Wheat, Oats and Oatmeal, from Ireland, have a little increased, but there is not much improvement in the quality of the former article, which varies ex ceedingly, and has found dull sales at 6s to gs per lb; whilst Oats and Oatmeal have been rapidly declining from the late high prices occasioned by their scarcity— , the former of this year's crop, from Ireland, selling at 35 6d to 3s led per 451 b, the latter at 35s to 365 per 2401 b, though from the absolute scarcity of fine old Oats for proven der, little alteration in our last quotations can be made. During almost the whole of the past week the weather has been very favourable for the operations of harvest in the northern and back ward situations of this kingdom, and throughout Ireland, notwith standing which, and the very large quantity of foreign Wheat so recently released from bond, prices for all descriptions of good old Wheat have been steadily supported, though the demand has been only to a very limited extent, and some very superior French Wheat and Flour have exceededour highest quotations; fine Malt, Malting Barley, Beans, and Peas, have fully supported last quotations. The markets in Yorkshire of the past week were a little higher for Wheat; but in Manchester, on Saturday last, there was little done in sales from this port. The only alteration in the duties on Grain from foreign ports, on Friday last, is an increase of 3s per quarter on Rye, and a decrease of Is 6d per quarter on Pease ; some small parcels of very fine heavy Dutch Oats have sold, in bond, for export. at 4s per 451 b. We have had a recurrence of very rainy weather since yesterday morning, which, although of little importance in this district, ex cept for the Potatoes, will still be very injurious to the northern and Irish harvests, notwithstanding which, at this day's market, sales were made only to a very moderate extent, and we can note little alteration in the general prices of last Tuesday, except as above noted in new Oats and Oatmeal.
