" Mr. D. O'Connell denominates the most tolerant man in Europe, the amiable King of Prussia, a • cruel and faithless bigot,' because he will not suffer a turbulent Romish Bishop to make war with impunity on the funda mental laws of his dominions."—The Times, Saturday, Nov. 2, 1839.

" But of the countries we have above mentioned as being peculiarly Protestant, it is remarkable that Protestantism was introduced into England by Henry VIII, and into Denmark by Christern 11., two of the greatest monsters that ever disgraced not only the Throne, but human na ture."—Page 42, Mr. O'Connell's First Letter to the Wesleyan Societies in Manchester.

On which that Prince pitched on them for this purpose, and by his Royal Decree appointed them to make a new translation."—:). 372.

Thomas Earl of Mahon, and Minister of Margate, n Kent, 1739. "We observe in a pamphlet, Anti-Deist,' published by Mr. Bellamy, that Exodus, c. iii, v. 22, is a gross mistransla tion. He notices a number of other errors in the translation of the Bible now in use, equally hostile to the true meaning of the writers. It is not a little curious, that many of these mis translated passages, which give meanings in direct opposition to the real ones, have been as stoutly defended by eminent theo logians as any in the whole t ook, and long commentaries have been written upon them, expressly to show their beauty and propriety."—The Examiner, Dec. 24, 1821. University Education." .‘ The great resorts and seats of learning often outlive in this way the intentions of founders, as the world outgrows them. Our Universities are, in a great measure, become cisterns to hold, not conduits, to disperse, knowledge. The age has the start of them, that is, other sources of knowledge have been opened since their formation, tc which the world have had access, and have drank plentifully et these living fountains, from which they arc debarred by the tenor of their Charter, and as a matter of dignity and privilege .All that has been invented or thought in the last two hundred years they take no cognizance of, or as little as possible, they are above it, they stand upon the ancient land-marks, and will notbudge, whatever was not known when they were.endowed, they are still in profound and lofty ignorance of."—Hazlitt's Table Talk: also, the Examiner, Jan. 20, 1828. " \%ho kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's image ; but he who destroys a good book, kills reason itself, kills the image of God, as it were in the eye. Many a mat lives a burden to the earth ; but a good book is the precious life-blood of a master-spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life. It is true, no age can restore a life, but revolutions of ages do not oft recover the loss of a rejected truth, for the want of which whole nations fare the worse. 'We should be wary, therefore, what persecution we raise against the living labours of public men, how we blight that seasoned life of man, preserved and stored up in books ; since we see a kind of homicide may be thus committed, some times a martyrdom ; and if it er.tend to the whole impression, a kind of massacre, whereof the execution ends not in the slaying of an elemental life, but strikes at the ethereal and faith essence, the breath of reason itself, slays an immor tality rather than a life."—Areopagitica, Milton. National Education.—" The Bishop of Norwich said the race of clergy which was now passing away had had th e mos t favourable opportunity of instituting schools in their parishes, and of educating the people in the principles of the Church of England. If this had been done thirty years ago, and educa tion e::te',ded to teaching the children obedience to and re spect for the law, and the f ru ga l hu s band ing of their meow, it would have been impossible to have raised infuriated bands of ma l con tents like the Chartists of the present day, and Engla n d would have a very different aspect. He did not ca s t a genera l condemnation on the clergy of t hat period, for many of them had fully done their duty ; but he regretted that so golden all opportunity had passed—an opportunity that would take the greatest labour and energy of those anxious to impose on the rising generation to reclaim. The Sun, No. 14,657, August the Sth, 1839. " We cannot on this occasion lay down our pen w i t h out en deavouring to impress on the relitreligious and Protestant part of the community, the unspeakable importance of speedily taking measures to purify and purge the Church." If there be truth or consistency in Tau, sincere Protes tants must turn against those who have given r such prodi g i ous vantages to the Popish superstition.' ' —The Morning Sun, Tuesday, September, 10, 1839. " I may therefore conclude, that upon this revision— Bellamy's—of the Hebrew Scriptures, great st ress oug h t to be laid, as anticipating a c loser approximation in sentiment among all denominations of Christians now at variance with each other, upon certain disputed points of doctrine —tinder this impression, I think all must subscribe to its importance,"__ Chester Chronicle, Feb. 20, 1824. " The Catholic authorized version was fi rs t pu bli shed at Douay in the year 16 09 . It was th e result of forty ye ars ' to il and labour, and can fairly stand a comparison with any o th er version of the Sacred Scriptures, published in any count ry , either Popish or Protestant."

" Surely the elevated patronage which this New Translati( n has deservedly ob'ained, should operate as a general exam' le and incitement.

Hebrew, Part, 7th, 1834, New Translation.—" If I were shapen in iniquity, or in sin, my mother had conceived me." Note.—Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. This verse, as it stands in the common version, is not consistent with the Scripture. The Divine com munication stands recorded in Gen. i. 28. and God said unto them, be ;ruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. Now it must strike every reader with conviction, that as God created man to multiply and replenish the earth, he did not ordain man to be shapen in iniquity, nor to be conceived in sin. The Divine order for the multiplication of the human race is as holy now as at the beginning: it is pronounced to be superlatively good, Gen. i. 31., and this Divine order is sanctioned through out the Scripture, in all its purity, as at the beginning; con firmed by the Messiah, who said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven, Matt. xviii. 14. ; it therefore' ol)bws, that if man were shapen in iniquity, and cunceivedia n, the Divine insti tution of marriage could not have been approved of by him. Mr. O'Connell is a powerful speaker, a skilful politician, an able advocate for civil and religious liberty, but he should not attempt theology.—The Sun, No. 14,672. " Swift seems to have entertained some gloomy forebodings of the melancholy fate that awaited him. On seeing a tree, the top of which was withered, he shook his head, and ex claimed, I shall be like that tree, I shall die at top." Mr. O'Connell, though having received the friendly admo nition of this paper , in our matter of " dying at top," must still wear his feathers "in his cap of vanity." " In London," observes Batista Angeloni, in Letters on the English Nation, 1750—" religion seems to be per iodical, like an ague, which returns only once in seven days, and th en at tacks the inhabitants with the cold fit onl which physicians reckon the most fatal ; the burning never succeeds in this country." " Even on their days of worship in their Churches, there is ten thousand times more inattention to their duty, than to the price of stocks in Change-alley all the rest of the week; and the fervour of their devo tion, to obtain a seat in Paradise is infinitely short to that of procuring one in Parliament, purchasing a good bar gain on the Exchange, or trying to obtain a good place at Court ; they are as cool and inanimated in their acts of devo tion, as they are warm and active in those of getting riches, and their temples and exchanges are accordingly constructed within for those different dispositions, every family having in their chu-ches a snug pew, a kind of closet, where they can sit and sleep, or employ themselves in anything but their duty to the Highest ; whereas in their places of commercial rendez vous there are no scats, they would be useless there, the zeal of gain keeping them standing to their duty." With this accurate delineation of the " Corporation of the City of London," where " the fervour of their devotion for a seat in Paradise is infinitely short to that of procuring one in Parliament ;" and this being the municipal body which gives tone to the institutions of the country, what promoter, we may expect on behalf of a matter " of the utmost importance to the interest of mankind," and " a life beyond life." It is a melancholy reflection that the " two Estates" distin guished amongst us as " collective wisdom" throughout the realm should have had no deeper feeling towards a linguist of a country than the frequenters of " 'Change-alley." It is now more than 30 years since the eminent linguist Bel lamy divulged his biblical emendations, through a periodical of the highest literary character in the country, the " Classical Journal ;" it is 22 years since we became adherents to his pro mulgations, and with an intent watchfulness, The Sun, the Examiner, and the Chester Chronicle, are the only Papers amongst the range, who have promoted the matter held to be " of the utmost importance to the interest of mankind," and " a life beyond life." This enables us to repel the imputation to the " Continental Despots," we rather say Sovereigns of Europe, or " the cruel and faithless bigot," and it may go to assuage the acerbity of vi tuperations against them, when one whose purport was and is " of the utmost importance to the interest of mankind," and " a life beyond life," has received such an act of unexampled injus tice from the press of England. It is pleasingto us ;to observe a conspicuous personage in our triple state, who was equally unmindful in his day, and of the posthumous fame of a Prince. Sir Robert Peel has his proper estimation with a portion of the Press. " The Tories quarrel with the Hon. Baronet because of the feeble, shifting, cowardly pol.cy which he has pursued during several Sessions of Parlia ment. We now find this once trumpeted statesman, everywhere inveighed against by those of his own faction, as a sluggish and irresolute, if not a feeble-minded, statesman."— Sunday Times. When malignancy, the characteristic of, olden time—for Shakespeare wrote " Mens evil manners live in brass ; their virtues we write in water" —is so rife amongst us, we consider it our bounden duty to break a lance with the assailants of the memory of the Prince and Patron of the Work, " of the ut most importance to the interest of mankind," and a life be yond life"—who Di s tort the truth— acc umulate the And pile the pyramid of calumny —English Bards and Scotch Reviewers.

The Morning Chronicle of this day, alluding to the peti tions getting up against the Corn-laws by the monopolists say :—" Several farmers told their labourers, that if the) would not sign the petitions they must get other masters; and labourers have been turned off for refusing to sign the petitions thus thrust upon them. As a proof of the com pulsion under which many of the signatures were obtained. we can state on good authority, that in many instance those who signed their masters' petition also signed peti tions for the repeal of the Corn-laws. This will be foune to have been the case in Leicestershire and other midlaw counties."—The Morning Herald thus refers to Sir Ro bert Peal's conduct on the Privilege question :—" How fo , will Sir Robert, the hope so recently of better men, as hr has been the boast of better times—how far does he mean to follow this phantom flame of privilege ? what depths, through what suffocating mire, under wha. absorbing delusion, at %hat sacrifice of reputation, rt what loss of party, does this Conservative knight-errant mean to pursue the Hansard adventure ? What drean has crept over him? What prostration decays his moral strength ? What infatuation obscures his moral vision —The Morning Post expresses itself as follows, on th subject of the Chinese official documents —" Th^ corres pondence on the subject of the contraband trade in opium reveals, we lament to say, a system of duplicity and perfid on the part of the British authorities in their intcrcours with those of China which wholly deprived the former ol the right to expect that their assurances upon any subjee. should receive the least credit."—The Times comments in the following t crms on the question of the pending wv. with China :—" Doubts have long since been throw out from many quarters touching the morality of that unprecedented contest, which let Lord John Russell qua lily it by what high-sounding terms he may think fit, is i , fact nothing less than an attempt, by open violence, ti. force upon a foreign country the purchase of a dcadl\ poison prohibited by its laws, and punishing the undoubted exercise of the right to confiscation enjoyed by all inde pendent states within whose territories contraband good hive been seized, by extorting from such States at the can non's mouth the price of the articles thus made prize off " —The Morning Advertiser observes, in a leading artiel, on the Tory Church tactics:—" The doctrine of the Tu ries is—aamely, that resistance to the tyrannical preter, sions and exactions of the Church is encouragement to it - - fidelity ; and the argument appears to be this —)e who art not for us are against us—ergo, the man who is not for e. is an infidel." The Marquis of Weile3ley is indisposed at Kink ston House. Lord Cranstoun, who ha 3 been making a tou of several months on the Continent, has returned to this coun try, and is now enjoying the sports of the field at Meltot, Mowbray.

FATAL ACCID 'ENT ON THE RIVER. THREE LIVES LOST. On Friday evening last, an accident, which we regret to say was attended with the sacrifice of three lives, °c ern-led off Putney, and plugged that place and the neighbourhood of Fulham into a state of the greatest anxiety and distress. About six o'clock on the above evening a four-oared cutter arrived at the Six Bells Tovrrn, Putney, a house situated on the south side of Putney-bridge, well known by the amateur watermen of the Thames, and kept by a person named Avis. The party, six in number, alighted ; partook of some refreshment, consisting of half-and-halt and biscuits, and after taking a short stroll through the town re turned to their boat, took their stations, and pushed off. At this time all the occupants of the boat were perfectly sober ; in fact. they might be said to have been peculiarly abstemious. The time of embarkation was about ten minutes to seven, when it was twilight. The boat left her moorings sate, and had reached the central pier of Putney-bridge, when the strokesman, we are gvea to understand, "caught a crab," that is, improperly im mersed his oar in the water, the consequence of which was to throw him on one side of the boat. In falling he struck a fellow oarsman, who fell on the same side, and this action caused the boat to careen, and immediately • turn bottom upwards. A girl passing over Putney bridge saw the gentleman alluded to meet with the ac cident, and very naturally ran to the other side of the bridge to see whether he had righted himself. When she got there, however, she beheld the boat bottom up wards, and its six previous occupants clinging to it. In less than half a minute (as the girl judged) three out of the six let go their hold and sank. The girl then im mediately ran to Mr. Cheescman, the toll-collector, on the Fulham side of Putney-bridge, and he very promptly procured the assistance of two watermen named Freeman and Kelley, who, having unlocked their boat ,which had been moored for the night, put off and came up with the capsized hoot about a quarter of a mile, on the London side of Putney•bridge ; the tide, which was running down very strong at the rime, hating drifted her thus far. Upon their coming up with the boat, they found three gentlemen holding on, and these they immediately took into their boat. They were all, as might well be imagined, much exhausted, and at that time incapable of saving anything. The watermen con ‘eycc ' 1 them to the Six Bells tavern, where they were attended to in the kindest manner by Mrs. Avis ; and, :n the course of a short time two of them became stiff' Hentiv recovered to return the same night to town. The other gentleman remained till yesterday, and the account he gave was, that Mr. Abbott, one of the missing gentlemen, a Proctor, Mr. Pratt, a Lieutenant in the Navy, and who had just returned from the East Indies ; together with himself, the two surviving gen tlemen, and the other missing gentleman (whose name he did not know, he being only a casual acquaintance), left Lyon's, the boatbuiider's, at Lambeth, early on the above-mentioned evening, and proceeded to the Six Bells tavern. . Two of the miss ing gentlemen rowed, the third was coxs;i.ain. The ac count given by the gentlemen of the starting of the boat, and the melancholy accident that resulted, are the same as before detailed. Yesterday the friends of Mr. Abbott came to the Six Bells, with the hope of seeing the body of their re lative ; in that hope, however, they were disappointed, for up to that time none of the bodies had been found. From them we learnt that Mr. Abbott had only been married a twelvemonth ; he had a child ; and Satur day, the anniversary of the wedding, was to have been celebrated at the deceased father-in-law's. The grief that this sad affair has created amongst his friends may be imagined, but not described. Up to the time of our informant leaving Putney (four o'clock) the relatives of the others deceased had not been there, nor had either of the bodies been recovered, though Mr. Avis had kept six men continually dragging during the whole of Friday night and Saturday. PRUSSIAN STATISTICS. The following details lately received, as made up from official and accredited documents, may serve as materials for estimating the industrial progress of Prussia in agricultural and manufacturing pursuits. From 1836 to 1838 the mean importation and export of wool for all the provinces of that kingdom are estimated thus:— Imports Exports For 1831 the import was only 4,700,000, and the export 8.000,000 lbs. The total production of wool, and its valtie, arc thus stated for 1838: — Of fine wools, weighing each 2 lbs per fleece, the total quantity produced, or sheared, was 7,367,934 lbs.: of middling quality, weighing 24 lbs. per fleece, 16,431,763 lbs. ; of common or coarse wools, weighing 2i lbs. per fleece, 10,783,218 lbs. The average market price of this tine wool was 120 thalers per quintal, or eentzer of 110 lbs., the thaler being equal to about 3s. Id. sterling ; of the middling sort, 80 thalers ; of the common, 45 thalers. Thus the value of each was :- 7,367,934 lbs fine 16,431,763 middling 10,783,218 common . . 4,852,410 The total weight being 34.582,915 lbs, aad value 26,839,400 thalers. For 1839 the production is variously estimated from 37,900,000 to 39,000,0001b5, and the value from 25,500,000 to 29,000,000 thalers. In 1838 the number of sheep was thus estimates, and classed : Pure Merinos Mixed Breed . . . . Coarse woolled Total . them so long as they remained bliad to the inefficacy el the measures for putting an end to .lavcry and the siavo trade which they advocated ; and we can as little co operate with them now th•tt one of their organs, Mr. Fow•ell Buxton, has demonstrated the inefficiency these measures, because the measures which it is proposed to substitute are ludicrously and childishly inadequate. True it is, that Government patronize Mr. Buxton's new project, so tar as to propose n vote of :35,000/. of primary outlay and 10,546/. of annual charge to carry it into effect. And the morning organ of Government patronizingly says—" The expedition to the Niger may fail to produce all the good results wh'ol► soine expect from it, but it can hardly to produce much good." It hiss, however, been so long apparent that the chance of any p ro j ect ' s acce pt ance with Go in vernment is the inverse ratio of its feasibility ; and the eulogy of the Morning Clirohicic is so like keeping a door open to slip through, in the event of Lilure, thi:t not ouch stress can be laid on either: Let us thcro• tote br;cflv review Mr. Buxton' s p ro j tct , now i n part . the adopted of her Majesty's Ministers. Mr. Buxton ' s plan is thus stated by himself:-- •' Ist. Impede and discourage the slave-traffic. " 2nd. Establish and encourage legitimate commerce. " 3rd. Encourage and teach cultivation. " 4th. Impart instruction. "To accomplish the first, we must " Increase and concentrate our squadron, and mete treaties with the chiefs of the coast, the rivers, and the interior. " To accomplish the second, we must. " Obtain commanding positions; settle factories; and send out trading ships. " To accomplish the third, we must " Set on foot an agricultural company. Obtain by treaties lands for cultivation, with so much power as may be necessary to keep the slave-trader at a dis tance. " To accomplish the fourth, we must " Establish a benevolent institution, somewhat on the plar, of the Africa❑ Institution, and acquire all ne cessAry statistical information for the use of the mer chant, the agriculturist, or the teacher." The portion of this chain of measures which Govern ment have undertaken to carry into execution, in so far as we can learn from Lord John Russell's Letter to the Lords of the Treasury (in which he declims to enter into a lull detail of the plan itself," or of the ulterior measures to which it may lead) is as follows : " It is proposed to establish sew commercial relations with those African chiefs or powers within whose domi• nions the in!crnal slave-trade of Africa is carried on, and the external slave-trade supplied with its victims. To this end tile Queen has directed her Ministers to negotiate conventions or agreements with these chiefs and powers, the basis of which conventions would be, first, the abandonment and absolute prohibition of the slave trade ; and secondly, the admission for consumption in this country, on favourable terms, of goods the produce or manufacture of the territories subject to them. Of those chiefs, the most considerable rule over the countries adjacent to the Niger and its great tributary streams. It is therefore proposed to despatch an expe dition, which would ascend that river by steam-boats, as far as the points at which it receives the confluence of some of the principal rivers falling into it from the eastward. At these, or at any other stations which may be found more favourable for the promotion of a legitimate com merce, it is proposed to established British factories, in the hope that the natives may be taught that there are method of employing the population more . profitable to those to whom they are subject, than that of converting them into slaves, and selling them for exportation to the slave-traders." Either a voluntary association is to be formed simul taneously with this movement of the British Govern ment, for the purpose of carrying into effect the two last clauses of Mr. Buxton's measure, or the portion of it recommended by Lord John Russell, is alone to be at tempted. In the latter case, the wiser plan will be, to take the money at once and throw it into the sea, for thereby no lives will be lost. The experience acquired by the voyage of Messrs. Laird and Oldfield shows—first, that there is not at present sufficient surplus produce of any kind on the banks of the Niger to furnish trade ; second, that the natives will not be allowed to trade with the white men ; third, that the climate where a factory is to be established is even more deadly than that of Sierra Leone. Now, by a factory we have hitherto understood a Government station for the protection of traders ; but why establish a place of security for traders where there is no trade, and where traders cannot live ? We venture, therefore, to presume that Government takes the step of establishing a factory or factories on the Niger, on the understanding that the two latter branches of Mr. Buxton's plan—his force-pumps for raising a trade where none exists—are to be immediately undertaken by some voluntary association. In this cause we have something more than mere fac tories : we have territorial possessions," lands for culti vation (obtained by treaty), with so much power as may be necessary to keep the slave-trader at a distance." Bri. tain must acquire the sovereignty within a district npoa the Niger, and the Government functionaries in this new colony must " negotiate" with the "chiefs and powers" of the Niger—must plunge into the inexplica ble and inextricable diplomacy of barbarous and broken clans. The issue of this is palpable—either we must retreat with disgrace from the position we have so rashly assumed, or we must play in Africa the same game we have played in India. The former is the mare propable. Spectator. 3,683,967 . 4,313,287 . 15,300,260 For 1839 the number is carried to 17,500,000 or 18,000,000. The number of sheep was reckoned by vari ous authorities, some three or four years since, between 32,000,000 and 35,000,000, as we believe, writing from memory. The mean import and export of woollen yarn and piece goods, from 1836 to 1838, for Prussia was Imports Exports Of which, In yarn Cloths and other stuffs 4,200,000 Carpeting Total 4,500,000 During the same years the aggregate manufacture o woollen cloths was of the estimated value of 6,500,000/ The number of spinning machines, in 1837, was 4.143 ; of spindles. 401,210; of cloth and stuff looms, 16,937 ; of woollen mercery, idem, 4,085. For all the associated states of the German Commercii League, the mean import and export of raw cotton, and cotton yarn, and piece goods, was estimated at the begin ning of 1839 to be as follows : Import of raw cotton Export 4,404,280 Yarns, import Ditto, export Piece goods, import ... ..... 1,486,444 Ditto, export The mean home consumption, on deduction of the quantity exported was, therefore, 33,370,933 lbs. At the same epoch the particular share of Prussia was, on the hverage— Import raw cotton Ditto yarns Export cotton and yarn Import piece goods Export 5,500,000 Total import, 30,500,000 lbs; total export, 17,500,000. The mean home consumption was therefore 13,000,000 lbs. The whole production of printed piece goods, in Berlin alone, was estimated in 1838 at 350,000 pieces, which is about the quantity said, in the report of some of the late touring speeches by the learned Dr. flooring, to be turned off annually by each of several calico- printing establishments in and about that city which he inspected, or talked as if he had.

In Silesia the peo ple were already very apt, and well trained to progress in the cotton manufacture, from the circumstance of its having so long been the principal seat of the great linen manufactures of Germany. And in that province also c apitals had been accumulated, and were more abundant for new commercial manufacturing enterprises. CHARLESTON.—We have received Charleston Papers to the date of Feb. 14. The bloodhounds which, in the pursuit of their unholy purpose to drive the stricken Indians from the homes of their fathers, the Americans, availing themselves of " all the means which God and nature have put in their power," have employed, to hunt down their oppressed neighbours, have been brought into active training. It may be remembered that the fact of the transshipment of those unnatural emissaries, which was in the first instance indignantly denied, has been subsequently confirmed by the reluctant and official admission of Congress itself. And now we are exultingly told by the pat tern Republic of modern days. that after the bounds had been subjected to a series of experiments, "they can rapidly, and with certainty, follow a trail 24 hours old.:— Standard Teeth, THE 'TEETH.—The'TEETH.—The preservation of the which serve to ornament or deface one of tne most e ca xne o s t si be features of the human countenance—them outh, Fair Sex !

UN WHOLESOME FOOD. It is matter of notoriety that a very considerable proportion of the grain of last year was so miserably harvested,as to be unfit for use without admixture with foreign flour, or with the flour of beans or peas. The binding property of sound flour is destroyed in that mad.. from sprouted wheat, and hence the necessity of this or some other admixture,—a necessity which we fear but too frequently prompts to a pernicious adulteration of this first necessary article of food. We call attention to a letter with which we have been favoured by our able colleague in this noble cause, Dr. Epps : Sir,—ln the course of my professional duties, I hap pened a few days since to meet one of the large flour-mill owners in the county of Cheshire, whose flour passes to Lancashire, Staffordshire,and Scotland. He stated the following tact, which cannot be too extensively diffused, namely, so large a portion of British-grown wheat, the produce of last harvest., is unsound, having sprouted in the year whilst in the field, that to make it fit for use. two-thirds of foreign wheat are added to one of British. " Believe me, your obedient servant, " JOHN EPPS, M.D. " 89, Great Russell-street, March 9, 1840." Whilst we do not doubt the necessity of this ad mixture of two-thirds of foreign with one-third of British flour, we do seriously question the fact itself, at a time when the duty on foreign wheat is so high as it now is, :21s. Bd. per quarter, or 2.5. Sid. per bushel. What article may be used as a substitute we know not ; but we well remember, under similarly unfavourable cir cumstances some twelve years since, that the Derby shire spar was largely and perniciously used. At all events, the inquiry is of the utmost importance to the public health.—Anti-Corn-la to circular. DISTRIBUTING SOCIALIST PUBLICATIONS AT TILE DOORS OF CIIIIRCIIES.—A young scan named John Frierson, appeared at the New Bailey yesterday. having been summoned under the :9th Geo. 111. c. 79, s. U. 5, for distri buting a printed publication without the printer's namoattached to it, by which he rendered himself liable to a penalty of 51. The Rev. 11. Fielden stated that on Sunday last, as he was going from St. Mary's Church to the Collegiate Church, the defendant offered to put into his hand a printed paper; in the first instance he refined to take it, but after altrds turned round and took it. Mr. Fielden produced the paper, which was an exposition of Mr. Owen's views On marriage. Mr. R. B. R. Cohhett, solicitor, who appeared for the defendant, quoted a clause in an art which had passed last Session, requiring that . - -- no person shall institute a prosecution for any penalty under the Act unless he were deputed by the Attorney-General ; and the last clause in the Act provided that the two Acts should be construed as one. Mr. Maude said there must be a nonsuit ; lie \vas not previously aware that the Act passed last Session extended to cases of this kind. Mr. Maude said, whether any reasonable man could approve of the sentiments in the paper, he was not going to say ; but it was an indecent thing to distribute a paper of that kind at church doors, among par ties whose opinions are the very opposite. The defendant said, he did it in answer to a misrepresentation which had been made in a sermon by the Rev. Mr. Parkinson. Mr. Cobbett said, he trusted the case would not only he dismissed there, but that no further proceedings would be taken. Mr. Maude said, be should only decide for that day. The matter then dropped.— Manchester Guardian.
