Land Improvement and Drainage (Ireland) Bill ' a third time and passed. rection company morning ae - mously matters The .1 On ti Poor R ie order of the day for the second reading of the lief (Ireland) Bill, Mr. P. SCROPE, approving of the principle of the bill, remarked that it omitted to secure its great object —to provide an effectual ielief for the destitute poor. Relief was to be confined to workhouses, but in order to recon cile this limitation of succour with the principles of humanity, and not make the test too severe, the work houses should be well regulated ; whereas, in many parts of Ireland, no one would say they cßme within this de scription, and some were of such a characi - Cr fm to deter the people from entering them until dying of starvatii37.. He then reiterated his suggestions for the employment of the able-bodied paupers upon productive works—applying the idle labour to the idle land—at once improving the country and reducing the rates. Mr. OSBORNE inquired why, when a committee was sitting upon the Poor Law, the Government should have brought in a bill to amend that law before the committee lied made a report ? He should not oppose the second reading of the bill, but he believed it to be utterly impo3 bible to struggle with the vast amount of destitution under such a Poor Law, or by any pc:ldling legislation upon the subject. Without a national rate—and in addition, lie advocated paid boards of guardians—the land of Ireland would be unable to afford relief commensurate with the existing destitution. Lord C. lIAmiLTox feared that the absence in the bill of any reference to the question of settlement would nullify its operation. After a very few words from Mr. CALLAGHAN, Colonel DUNNE approved some of the provisions of the bill, but others he should oppose in the committee. The measure, however, wovld prove perfectly futile under the it Poor Law. Mr. H. HERBERT, though he considered the bill, with its principle of union rating, a pernicious one, yet, believ ing the Poor-law to be breaking down, should not oppose its second reading, the state of Ireland being at its worst. He enlarged upon the calamitous effects produced, as he contended, by the Poor-law, which had changed the lan guage of honest self-dspendence into that of despair. Sir W. SOMERVILLE showed the inconsistency of Mr. Osborne's charge against the Government. which, when be (Sir William) had proposed the appointment of a com mittee, had been told that it was their duty to bring for ward a measure on their own responsibility, and not to wait for the report of a committee. He then replied shortly to Mr. Scrope—who, he observed, bad mixed up - with this measure matters entirely distinct from it—and in a more specific and detailed manner to the objections urged by Mr. Herbert, especially with reference to there- Zuction of the areas of taxation. Mr. V. SMITH remarked the ominous silence of Irish members upon the novel principle in this bill of a maxi mum rate ; and he asked, when the maximum rate was exhausted, whence the relief was to come? He warned the house of the danger of a national rate or of a claim - anon the Consolidated Fund. Lord J. RUSSELL, in reply to Mr. Smith, said, if the poor of Ireland had been relieved by rates of Bs. or 12s. in the pound, and the house was asked to provide for an excess over such rates, it might lead to some apprehen sion ; but this was not the case, and an abstract declara tion of the law, that the whole property of the unions was liable, would be no security that the people would be relieved. He found that the last rate in Ballina was 3s. lid., and that while in some electoral divisions rates of Ils. and 12s. bad been collected, in those where aid was required from public grants rates of only 35., 3s. 6d., and 4s. 2d. had been raised. These small rates had been collected with the utmost severity, and had in some cases suspended the cultivation of the land. In this state of things there was no way to relieve the destitute but by giving a security and a limit beyond which the cultivation of the land would not be interfered with. But the ques tian still remained ; there might be unions in which, after paying a ss. rate and a 2s. rate, there would be an amount of destitution still unprovided for, and Mr. Smith had asked whence the provision was to come. His answer was, that, as a general principle, a rate-in-aid should not continue in Ireland, and that the maximum of 7s. being found insufficient to meet the amount of destitution would not be a ground of claim upon the Consolidated Fund; he thought it would be better to leave its relief to such resources as existed before the Poor Law of 1847 than to sanction a national rate, or a claim upon the Consolidated Fund. Lord John noticed some of the objections of Mr. Herbert, but reserved his opinion upon others until the bill was in committee. Mr. HORSMAN considered that the answer of Lord John Russell to the important enquiry of Mr. Smith was so vague as to lead tdian inference that the Government had not made up their minds upon the subject, so that the maximum might turn out only a nominal one, and prove a snare to the ratepayer. Ile then entered upon a general criticism of the measure, and of the action of the Irish Poor Law, dwelling at same length upon the neces sity of reducing the area of taxation. The great object of etploying the able-bodied poor was to be arrived at only by adopting a small area of responsibility, which would prove the will and the power of proprietors to discharge their duty; and by a rigid •• test. ,lic - ati6n of the. workhou Air.

FOREIGN Ain SOCIETY.—On Wednesday the ninth annual meeting of the friends of this society took place at the Hanover-square Rooms, the Marquis of Cholmon deley in the chair. His Lordship having briefly addressed the meeting upon the important aid they were lending to the cause of Evangelism on the Continent, the secretary read the report of the committee. It appeared, that although the evangelization of France had been much affected by the tide of revolution which had rolled over the country, and the faith of the converts from the church of Rome bad been severely tested, yet, upon a review of the events of the year, the cause of the Gospel had rather been furthered than retarded, and many formal requests for pastors of the reformed church had been received from Roman Catholic congregations by the committee at Paris. The Republican Government had determined to continue the payment of ministers of religion out of the public Treasury, the only difference made between the churches being the payment of salaries. The consistorial churches were set upon a free footing, and their preachings and prayings in public were under no restriction except that of forwarding notices to the authorities, who attended to preserve order. The estimate for the expenses of minis ters of the reformed church during the current year was £50.000, being £lOOO less than last year. The sum was for the payment of about 70 ministers, besides numerous agents from the societies of Geneva, Paris and Lyons. At Montmoirron in Vaucluse the Catholics had expelled their priest and made a formal request to have a pastor sent to them, and this example had been followed in many other places. The report then detailed the proceedings of the Societe Evangelique de Geneve, which had risen from the depression of the year preceding, was now in a prosperous state, had been enabled to pay off its debt of 20,000 f., and to establish many new stations. The Foreign Aid Society had made a grant of £650 towards the expenses of the brethren in Geneva. The Societe Evangelique de France had taken advantage of the free dom of opinion which followed the revolution to establish a synod, the first which had existed in France since the year 1659. That society had now 27 ministers, and eight colporteurs, besides students and professors. The synod refused to receive the payment from the state. The Foreign Aid Society had contributed £552 towards the support of the synod. The Societe Centrale Protestante de France, a newly organized society, had not gone on so well during the past year. It acted as a kind of direction to the movements of the pasteurs. It was, at present, encumbered with a debt of £l,lOO. The Societe d'Evan gelization of Lyons was progressing, as was also the re formed church in Belgium, and efforts were being made at Lisbon and Gibraltar. In all of these cases the Foreign Aid Society had lent its assistance. The yearly income amounted to £2,863 18s. 7. An express, dated Rome, the sth of May, announces that the Romans under Garibaldi, attacked a body of 2000 Neaplitans at Torre di Mezza Via, between Rome and Albano. The Neapolitans, after a short combat, threw down their arms and fled, the Romans taking 60 prisoners and two pieces of artillery, with which they entered Rome on the evening of that day. Letters from Rome of the 10th, published in the Gazette Piedmontaise, states that General Garibaldi had defeated a corps of 7000 Neapolitans, made many priso ners, and taken three pieces of cannon. The second edition of the Nazionale, a Florence jour nal, states that the Romans gained a complete victory over a corps of 7,000 Austrians on the 9th at Valmonte. The Austrians, it adds, were put to flight with a great loss in killed, wounded, and prisoners. Messrs. Rusconi and Pescantini are going to Lord Pal merston to solicit his interference on behalf of the Roman Republic, and General Oudinot has pledged himself not to attack until the result of their mission is known. POPERY ENLIGHTENED l --- The Roman Triumvirate have issued a proclamation to the people of Rome, in which we find the following assertion, which sneaks well for the good sense of the present rulers of the modern Babylon :—" The temporal dominion of priests is con trary to the doctrines of Christ." Popes in all ages have claimed temporal away over the sovereigns of the earth, have deposed and set up kings, and now the Pope is an exile from the chief city of the pontificate. If the Pro testants of England and Ireland would exert themselves, now is the time to deal out a heavy and effectual blow against the priests of Anti-Christ. HORRIBLE ATROCITIES.—The following is an extract of a private letter from Rome, dated the sth instant Rome may now be said to he a city of ruins. The Villa Borghese and Medicis has almost disappeared. The ruins still encumber the soil. These barbarians only wanted time for their work, and they have been interrupted by the arrival of the French. They are flocking to the bar ricades. It is awful to look at these barricades ; each of them is a regular fortress. Three priests, Jesuits, were discovered yesterday, in a villa where they were in hiding. The mob dressed them up in rags, dragged them through the city, and overwhelmed them with outrages of all kinds. They dragged them then to the bridge of the Castle of St. Angelo, where they cut them in pieces, and flung their palpitating remains into the Tiber. I have received these details from an eye-witness of this horrible scene." FRANCE The elections occupy the attention of the Parisian pub lic, to the exclusion of almost every other subject. In the returns from the country, the Moderates are in a ma jority of 3to 1. In reference to the returns from Paris, nothing certain is known. M. Lacave Laplagne, formerly minister of finance, died of gout on Sunday evening week. He had just been returned a representative for Gers. The total number of election returns in France re. ceived up to Saturday night amounted to 667, of which 476 belong to the Moderate party, 149 to the Socialist Democratic, and 62 whose opinions are unknown. Catalani, the favourite of our fathers, is in Paris, having fled from Florence in alarm at the disturbed state of that city. She is looking as young and lively as when she sang for the last time in London some five and twenty years ago. Her affection for England is undiminished. INSURRECTION AT BADEN.—Accounts from Karlsruhe of the 14th inst., state that the Grand Duke of Baden had taken flight from the capital, under the protection of a troop of horse and artillery. Karlsruhe was on the eve of insurrection, a portion of the military having mutined, insisting upon being discharged from the army. All the we.lthy and influential inhabitants of the town were fast leaving it. Rastadt still remained in the hands of the rebellious soldiers. Freyburg and Breisgau were ripe for insurrection. in all these places business was at a stand, and confusion everywhere prevailed. Appearances were most alarming. _ Later accounts from Baden mention that the Grand Duke was about to take up his residence at Frankfort. His ministers, although still holding office, had no power, for a provisional government had been appointed, who liberated from prison all political offenders, among whom were Struve and Blind, the republican leaders in the Oc tober insurrection, who were chosen members of the above government, and afterwards entered Carlsruhe, ac companied by a number of their partisans. The insurrection in Rhenish Prussia has been effectually suppressed. . The rebellious movement in Germany, on behalf of the Constitution, is rapidly spreading. At Mark, Iserlohn, Hagen, Hessen, and Altenessen, the people have revolted, and are well supplied with all the munitions of war. At Munich, the troops refused to obey the commangs of the government. The King, on the other hand, objected to receive an address in favour of the Constitution, although it contained the signatures of 15,000 individuals. The Duchy of Hesse Darmstadt has furnished 20,000 men to aid the insurgent cause in Rhenish Bavaria. HANovErC—It has been erroneously reported that the King has been obliged to leave his capital, and to repair to the castle of Herrenhausen. There is, however, a strong revolutionary feeling in Hanover. A very serious fire broke out at Rotterdam, at seven o'clock on the morning of the 13th instant, at the sugar refinery of Messrs. Tromp, Suerrnondt, and Co., which destroyed a great deal of property besides the above, in cluding the large warehouse known by the name of us tend, the Ph oen i x sugar ware h ouse; .th e warehouses of Willemse; Ringrcse; Meinhard ; Reibemeyer and Co. ; of grain. The fire was not evening must ha r,- The wind fortunately was calm, 01 been more destructive. It .is estia atej that POLITICAL MISCELLANY. Mr. Shirley has retired from the representation of South Warwickshire. Lord Guernsey, son of the Earl of Aylesford, is the Protectionist candidate. Lord Clarendon left Dublin on Saturday to record his vote in favour of the Navigation Laws Repeal Bill. Lord Plunkett has been summoned but pleaded his advanced years as an excuse. ' Mr. J. Parker, who has been with,Mr. Tufnell joint Secretary of the Treasury, will succeed Mr. Ward as Secretary of the Admiralty, Mr. Hayter will replace Mr. Parker at the Treasury, and Sir D. Dundas will become Judge-Advocate. TilE CANADA INDEMNITY.—On Wednesday was pub lished a mass of official correspondence, and other docu ments relating to the important question of " compensa tion for rebellion losses" in Canada. From this volumi nous and somewhat unconnected series of papers, it would appear that the question of the propriety of granting an indemnity for the losses which " many loyal individuals" sustained during the rebellion of 1837-38 was originally mooted in January, 1838, by the then governor of Canada, the Earl of Gosford, who addressed the Colonial-office on the subject. A report was made by the Executive Council to Lord Gosfcrd in the same month, recommending an advance, by way of loan, to all loyal subjects who could prove their alleged losses, and several commissioners were afterwards appointed, in Upper and Lower Canada, for the investigation of these claims. These commissioners reported, for the information of the imperial parliament, at the request of Lord Normanby, (the then colonial se cretary of state,) the several cases which had been sus tained before them by the parties claiming compensation. An act (the 2nd Victoria, cap. 68) was afterwards passed by the legislature of Upper Canada, (May 11,1839,) mak ing provision for the payment of certain losses sustained by sundry individuals, by the issue of debentures on the part of the receiver-general of the province, and this was followed up by an address from the House of Assembly of Upper Canada to the Queen, praying that the sums granted by way of compensation might be repaid from the imperial treasury. To this the home government ob jected, and the colonial secretary, Lord J. Russell, gave his final decision on the 12th July. 1840, to the effect that the " losses in question were not such as to warrant an application to parliament for the indemnity prayed for." In Lower Canada the same steps were taken by the as sembly, but with no more success, so far as the home government was concerned ; Lord Stanley (the colonial secretary under the government of Sir R. Peel) having declined to make any advance from the " imperial funds." In acknowledging the petition for relief, (in May, 1844,) his lordship suggested that claims from the north sections of Canada should be submitted to the assembly, where they might meet with a favourable consideration, and be compensated by debentures. An act of this kind was passed by the. Assembly of Lower Canada in June, 1846, granting debentures to the amount of £9986, and this was followed, in July, 1847, by an,act authorising the issue of debentures to pay the balance (14e to claimants for losses during the rebellion. in at the expense of the rate-payers.

He then states his conviction that if the Government submit to dictation, a state of dis content will be perpetuated, and concludes by saying it may. be a question with Lord Grey whether it would not be better for him, Lord Elgin, to be removed from office, and make way for one who would not be personally ob noxious to any of her Majesty's subjects in Canada. CAPE OF Goon HOPE.—A Me of the South African to the 29th of March has come t o h an d. A considerable I commotion had been created amongst the Fingoe tribe located within the colonial boundary, in consequence of the circulation of a mischievous report that the Govern ment-was about to reduce them to slavery. The credulous people, giving ear to the fabrication, had crossed the frontier•-to the Caffre territory in considerable numbers, which had subjected the settlers to great inconvenience for the want of the usual labour. Means were, however, immediately taken to undeceive them, and no perinanent bad consequences are expected to arise. PORT PHlLlP.—Papers from Port Philip to the 14th of January have arrived. The emigrants that had arrived in the ,colony were immediately absorbed at high rates of wages, and it is stated that quadruple the number would apparently make no impression on the labour market. This is encouraging intelligence to intending emigrants, provided that attention is paid to those departments of labour in requisition in a new colony. Animal food was at such a low rate that legs of mutton were sold for 6d. in Melbourne, and fat bullocks, weighing 7 cwt., were sold at £2 .15s. per head.

DISSENTING WORSHIP IN A : CHURCHYARD.—On the question which has been lately raised as to the lawfulness of the Dissenting worship in the churchyard of Killdallon, without permission of the officiating minister, the law adviser of Her Majesty's Government in Ireland has given the following opinion • which has b een f orwar d e d b y th e Under-S ecre t ary to the magistrate who was present on the occasion referred to :—" I am of opinion that the performance of the funeral service in a churchyard, by a a Dissenting clergyman, without the permission of the clergyman of the Established. Church, is illegal." We make no commentary on the appended paragraph. In the worst days of Jerusalem, if we except one horrify. ing incident, nothing more appalling is recorded :—" Owen Moran crept into his brother's house and died • the same day his b ro th er L arry was f ound dead in a field ; same day, his sister, Mrs. Whelan, with her mother and child, found dead in a deserted forge. The two brothers, the sister, the brother-in-law and child, all died the same day, of starvation, at Killimore, county Galway." Al though unwilling to withdraw attention from this melan choly statement, we must append the followinc , from the Clonmel Chronicle. : —" M on d a y a gentleman who' resides in the barony of Owney, and who is the nominal owner of a fee simple property, applied to be admitted to the pri vilege of a pauper, by asking to be placed on the relief lists.—Cork papev. -- - IMMENSE ARRIVAL OF BREAD STUFFS.—The largest fleet of vessels, heavily laden with foreign bread stuffs, ever remembered, arrived in Cove on Tuesday, numbering no fewer than 46, the greater portion of which were freighted with wheat, maize, beans, &c., from different and distant parts of the world—viz.: The Black Sea, North of Spain, United States, Turkey, Egypt, &c. In addition to these arrivals, there were entered at the Cus tom-house here, for home consumption, on Tuesday and Wednesday, Minerva steamer, from Liverpool, 360 bags rice, 15 sacks wheat, 250 sacks Indian corn, 55 barrels bread ; Clio, from Vians, 500 qrs. maize; Vindicator, from do., 514 qrs. do.

MANCHESTER, BUXTON, AND MATLOCK.—The first experimental trip upon this line, which is now nearly completed between Anibergate and Matlock, took place on Monday, with a train load of 150 tons, to test the newly-finished works. The line crosses the Derwent, and runs through the High Tor and Wilerley tunnels, of 600 and 800 yards respectively. These, and a handsome bridge at Whatsandwell, are the chief features of engi neering. interest. The line communicates with Matlock- Bath, and some of the most favourable spots in Derby shire. THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.—The report of the committee of investigation into the affairs of this company was issued on Tuesday. The report, in treating of the transactions of the board in the purchase and sale of shares, says Eighty-five No. 1 shares were purchased through Messrs. Pritchard and Dale, of Liverpool; but, notwithstanding repeated applications had been made for their delivery, there is reason to fear, oNing to the em barrassed 'state of the affairs of that firm, the company will not be able to obtain possession of those shares, nor to recover their value. The order given by the directors as to the sale of shares was disregarded. Not only were the shares ordered to be sold not sold, but further large purchases, to the extent of doubling the amount of the original investment, were made of the very description of stock directed to be sold, the acting broker being Mr. M.

The captain got about 250 acres of Ballydoyle, and having a surfeit, of paupers was naturally anxious to provide him self with a rich and improving tenantry. In order to carry out his intentions, the captain and his friends looked towards the sister country, England. The introduction of capital, with a wealthy class of English farmers, a superior race, was a blessing longed for by the captain. Such men would change the face of the country, and im prove the habits of the people; wretched hovels, dung pits, and bad fences, would be succeeded by beautiful slated homesteads, hedges, and stonewall fences ; splendid pasture would be seen on every side, producing beef, mut ton eL f-- "-- ' .;neese ror the market; an improved system of husbandry would be introduced—a school for the pro vince; in a word, complete bliss appeared at hand. Well, iglishman arrived in the person of a 7 orkshire, the friend of Mr. Welst-- eistead, of Ballywalter. Mr. Smith closely viewed the lands, while Captain Eustace waited anxiously to receive his offer, and close with him. The cool, steady Englishman minutely examined the soil ; he saw the land in every state, red ground, pasture, and tillage. At the end of a fortnight, which he took to see his way, he sent in his proposal in writing, and it was exactly this,—He would require the land gratis without a penny rent for five years, and £5OO in hand from the landlord, never to be repaid, to build a suitable homestead. At the end of five years he would pay 95. an acre for 250 acres. The old tenants, as stated before, paid £1 15s. per acre up to the year 1848, the fourth year of the potato blight. Captain Eustace, startled, amazed at the offer, said, "This land paid £1 15s. per acre." " Impossible," said the honest Englishman, " here aro figures and facts; here is the expenditure for labour, manure, rent, and taxes, and here again are the receipts and probable annual profits of the farm. There is no doubt," he added, "a large balance remaining yearly on hands, which I will require to sup port my family, on their usual fare of bread, beef, mut ton, and ale." The Englishman was not aware that the former tenantry did not lose a farthing for labour, having worked their farms by their children, while they lived on the potato, or nothing at all, if you will, so that the whole profits of the farm went directly into the pocket of the landlord, and amounted, of course, to the round sum of £1 15s. per acre. The gallant captain was, I need not say, taken by surprise —the land of promise, a beautiful dream of English wealth and enterprise on Irish soil, soon vanished. Turning to his agent, Mr. Smith, by the way, a good character and a public man, he said, " A bad business this, could we not get back the old tenants ?" " Too late, captain," was the reply, " They are half-way to America." Ballydole is unlet, and producing weeds from that day until this, paying plenty of rates and taxes, but not one farthing rent. I am quite certain that the introduction of English farmers into Ireland would be of infinite service to our agriculturists—such a step would raise the character of the latter ; it would establish their rights, and make Irish landlords do their duty, pay for mprovements and not pocket all.—Cork paper. AWFUL DISTRESS IN IRELAND. The accounts of deaths from starvation, and the dread ful sufferings of millions over immense districts in Ireland, are too appalling for detail. The Limerick Examiner gives particulars of several cases of dead bodies being found on the high roads, of wholesale evictions, of deaths from destitution, of robberies of food, and, finally, of a human body devoured by dogs ! Four unfortunate crea tures, unhousecl on the 30th ultimo, on Mr. Westropp's property, in Kilofin, died from exposure to cold and hunger on the beach at Baliina. A magisterial enquiry was made as to their deaths. A man, named Cox, his wife, and four children, were evicted. The father and one child died soon after from want. The widow went to lodge with a neighbour. Both, with their children and others, were turned out on Monday fortnight by Mr. Dan Molony, Mr. Westropp's agent, who went with seven or eight men, but no civil officer. The house was tumbled down. On the same night, they removed to a little hut on the shore side, and put up some little sticks for shelter. On the following day, Jeremiah Molony came and com pelled one of the girls to knock it down. They had no shelter but a few boards that night, and her mother sickened, and died next night. Molony even burnt the little bit of straw they had left. Another of the children died two days after. Her father said he had built the cabin they were turned out of himself, and that they were one night on the shore without any shelter. On the 7th instant, a poor boy, fourteen years old, sought shelter in a cowshed, being a week sick. The owner, Gibson, carted him to the church field, or grave yard, and left him with a little straw shaken over him. Next morning, his mangled remains were found—his head severed from his body, and the flesh torn from his bones, by dogs. All this was proved before the coroner. Near Killimore, persons were daily found dead on the public roads, fields, &c. A list of ten is given in one number of the Freeman's Journal. In one house, five of a family perished in one day. Ten to twelve died weekly of starvation at Killimore. None could obtain admission into the fourteen Ballinasloe workhouses, as they were crammed to suffocation. The deaths in that neighbour hood the week befere last amounted to 223. In the same week, there were eight hundred and sixty deaths in Ballinasloe. A case is related of a poor fellow, who, after eating some cabbage leaves, as a last resort went into a wood to cut some birch for brooms, which he hoped to sell. He was not heard of for some days, but a dog being seen with a human head, search was made, and his body was found in a pit in the wood, with the knife and some recently-cut birch near it. _ _ The Kerry . ' Post says-" The approaching summer is likely to be one of greater horror and misery than we have yet seen. Disease is cutting away the population at a rate not easily to be estimated ; and the people, under the pressure of their wretchedness, are fast degenerating into brutality. The poor are buried by stealth, uncoffined, and at night. Parents bury their children in gardens and bye-places, to hide the fact of their death, in order that their miserable pittance of meal might not be stopped.' " The accounts from the south are equally horrifying and varied in circumstances. In one case the flesh of a deceased dead mare was devoured by come perishing wretches. The chief relief from the unions is in Indian meal. THE C'OUR7 The Queen gave a state bail (the second this season)on Wednesday evening at BuckingbanasPalace, to a party of 1,900.

By the Rev. James W. K. Disney, 8.A., Incumbent of Christ's Church, Newark. London : B. Wertheim. This little volume is evidently the production of a mind under the deepest conviction of Heavenly truth, regarding it as the great object in which man should ever seek ; the pearl of great price, and for the possession and enjoyment of which he should be ready to part with all else that is attainable in this short and uncertain and chequered life. We earnestly recommend this little work o the attention of our Christian friends ; the perusal will repay the reader, and, if mixed with prayer, may be the source of alarming, awakening, or correcting, as the case may require. One or two extracts from this interesting work may not be amiss : " Am I in my calling working for God ? Am I not only working out my own salvation (remembering that it is God that worketh in me to will to do) but seeking to promote the salva tion of others ?' And again, ' Oh, what words can express, what heart can conceive, the misery of a soul that is lost for ever ! Be persuaded, (to the reader,) without delay, to secure your interest in the work of God.' " Again : " flow extensively Christian England has fallen from that noble subjection to, and that fearless assertion of, the authority of Divine truth, is, alas, too manifest to need proof; nor is it re quisite to refer to public acts of the state, whereby the right hand of fellowship has been held out to falsehood, and parti cularly to that system which our Sovereign, by the coronation oath, declares to be superstitious and idolatrous.' But it is with individuals that we would deal ; and let it be remembered, that in a country like ours, in which public opinion has such a preponderating influence, the public acts of the state are little more than the echo of the private opinions of the individuals of whom the state is composed. Oh, that our readers may deeply feel and act upon the conviction, that those who believe not the Gospel must perish, and that to countenance any form of reli gion contrary to the Gospel, is to aid and abet the murder of immortal souls ! Traitorous and insane is the kindness which would seek to please Romanists, or the votaries of any other unscriptural mode of faith, by glossing over their errors, or aiding in the propagation of their cr ee d s . E very sys t em w hi c h hides Christ from sinners, every species of idolatry, as well Christian as Pagan, must be conscientiously regarded as an abomination ; and thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it ; for it is a cursed thing." And a furthe'r motive may be fitly added, that should the sale be attended with profit, whatever is realised will he devoted to God's service by its benevolent and anxiously devoted author. The Rock of Rome; or, the Arch-Heresy. By J. Sheridan Knowles. London : Newby. This is a work that deserves to be in the hands of every Protestant. The writer is already well known as the author of the Hunchback, Virginius, &c. ; and, though on this occasion he has employed his pen in a very diffe rent field, he uses it with more effect in demolishing the fundamental traditional dogma of the Church of Rome — the headship of Peter. Mr. Knowles has evidently studied his subject deeply; and by arguments, as lucidly stated as they are irrefragably strong, he proves that the Papacy has been palming on this subject the most egregious falsehood on her adherents. The statements of Romish writers are contrasted with the Scriptures and with matter of fact, and proved to have no basis whatever, although they practice on the credulity of so many. The following extract, which forms the conclusion of the work, affords a good specimen of Mr. Knowles's vigorous and pointed style " 1 find the Church of Christ in Scripture ; but I can not find the Roman Catholic Church there except in pro phetic, denunciatory anticipation. Here, indeed, I find her. There is not a single peculiar dogma of that Church which Christ and his apostles have not foreseen, and for which they have not prepared a disclaimer and a rebuke. Not one ! She has been the chief custodian of the Book of Life. She has; and to a strange account has she per verted the trust with which, along with other Churches, she was invested. It was committed to her to be diffused. She has endeavoured to keep it to herself. She has sealed it—locked it up. To other hands than hers are we in debted for its multiplying and its spread—jealous of which, as hostile to her schemes of overleaping ambition, she has prohibited it ; she has burned it ; she has branded it with a lie, denying its all-sufficiency—the all-sufficiency of Omniscience and Omnipotence. Ponder the condition of mankind, wheresoever you can trace the footsteps of her sway. The earth is parched and rotten with arid ignorance, through lack of the living waters, which the Deity has amply provided, but which man has withheld or diverted. She languishes, though she knows not for what. Knowledge, worldly knowledge, now approaches her meridian fast !
