" The history of the world informs us that opinions are seated in the mind, and the mind is not susceptible of change from that coarse instrument of Government—force. They yield to lenity, to reason, to experience."—P. 275. Watson, Bishop of Llandaff. " But the Socialists step in and inform the murderer or the thief that his conscience condemns him only, because lie is an ignorant and uneducated person, who has imbibed the anti quated prejudices set afloat in society by designing men ; and that could he penetrate into the depths of the matter, he would find that, in reality, he had nothing to do with the action for which his conscience and the laws condemn him ; that his physical organization, existing independently of his will, necessarily impelled him towards crime ; that circumstances, Over which he had no more control than over the laws which regulate the peculiar frame of his organization, strengthened what is vulgarly denominated the criminal impulse ; and, therefore, that nature and the structure of society, operating irresistibly and independently of him, were at once the original and proximate cause of the deed Committed by his hand, for which, accordingly, he ought no more to be considered responsible than the knife with which he may cut his neighbour's throat. This, in brief, is, I believe, a fair exposition of the philosophy of Socialism ; and it behoves the public carefully to consider, whether the interests of indi viduals or communities are likely to be promoted by the propa gation of such doctrines. The rise and spread of this sect afford a striking illustration of the pernicious effects attending the introduction of false principles into philosophy The remedy, however, is at hand ; false knowledge must be counteracted by real knowledge ; the people must be instructed Instead of being perverted; philosophy must be made to undo the work of sophistry. And for this Government is re sponsible."—Sunday Times, April 5, 1841. Published in 1819, Parts I. and 11., price 45., The Anti-Deist; being a Vindication of the Bible, in answer to the publication called " The Deist," containing also a refutation of the erroneous opinions held forth in the " Age of Reason," and in a recent publication, entitled, " Researches an Ancient Kingdoms. By JOHN BELLAMY. " But the nature of man and his relations in society would never have been known, had not God, when he had created him given him a law for the rule of his life. And what proves this Without the possibility of refutation is, that the savage hordes, at above-mentioned, who have been listening to the " dictates of nature," to the present day know nothing of the precepts of Morality. The dictates of nature, without the precepts of re vealed wisdom, teach them nothing of the nature of man, or of his relations in his society : " they meet to destroy each other," and afterward s t o f eas t on th e fl es h o f their fellow-men, and offer their children to the idols of " nature." Such has been the practice of the inhabitants of all countries, who have listened to the dictates of nature; and such would be the case with the inhabitants of England, and of all Christi an na ti ons. were t h ey to "li sten to ihe dictates of nature;' they would fall into rusticity and savage barbarity ; and I should expect to see the image of the old multi-mamnue, the many -breasted Mother of Nature, the Dagon of the Philis tines, the Apollo of Greece, or the Molochian abomination of Juggernaut, set up in Christian lands, and temples erected to the Goddess of Reason, instead of the churches for the reason able worship of the Creator and Preserver of mankind, the Lord God Omnipotent. " But let these objectors turn their eyes to the conduct of those who assumed the title of " modern philosophers," sheo philanthropists, pretended lovers of God and man ; who, when there was no king in France, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes,.sent forth the mid night assassin, an d mur d ere d th e i nnocen t b y t h ousan d s i n the true Deistical, Robespierian spirit of showing no mercy ; de luged the land with blood, and carried horror, rapine, plun der, destruction, and death throughout the nations of Europe. but has b een t h e con d uct o f t h ose w h o b e li eve i n no God, t . cinflnite space' worshippers of some inconceivabl e non !linty, which they call Nature,' and who profess with their lips not to believe in a future state, though they thirst for im mortality. Hence the absurdity of supposing that a system of morality may be built upon, what these wild and inconsistent writers call ' Nature ;' her book is a blank, not a single pre cept of morality is to be found in the pages of this non-entity."

THE GALLANT 45TH.—We are enabled to state on good authority, that this brave regiment, which, it was rumoured, would leave this town (Monmouth), on the 25th instant, will not do so for a much longer period. A paragraph has appeared in several papers, stating that the corps of the 45th now stationed here, was abort to be made Light Infantry, as a reward for its services in this and other parts of Wales. We are informed that such is not the cause of this distinction being about to be bestowed, bst in consideration of its gallant and diAinguished services during the Peninsular War, in which no regiment, it is said, b)re a more prominent part. The regiment is daily making rapid progress in its drill, under the able superintence o f it s new Adjutant, Ensign Smith. —Merlin. HAND-LOOM WEAVERS.--The Tories arid Whigs have totally overlooked ono great , !ause of the dissatis faction in this neighbourhood, which ended in a Chartist out break... The great prevalence of want among the hand-loom weavers was the principal cause of their joining in such num bers the physical-force men. A gentleman from the neigh bourhood of Denholme assures us that the best hand-loom weavers cannot earn more than 3s. or 3;. 6d. a week. The difference between hand and power-loom weaving is not more, in many instances, than 3d. This state 4f things cannot stand l o ng. The present state of distress among manufacturers would be a just retribution, did it not affect the hand-loom weavers also, for the former have lost lo opportunity of de grading the hand-loom weavers by grinding down their wages. —Leeds Times.

MEMOIRS OP THE PRINCESS DASCH KAW 2 YOLS• • Colburn, London, 1840. The Prin cess Daschkaw, a Russian lady of ancient descent, and of a bold and intriguing spirit, who figured about the middle of the' last century, is now only re membered for the part she took in that remarkable re volution which precipitated 'Peter the Third from the throne of Russia, and elevated instead his wife, Ca therine the Second. This revolution, which took place in the year 1762, was brought about chiefly by the adroit management of the Princess Daschkaw, who contrived to win over all the troops in St. Petersburgh, the higher orders of the clergy, and most of the great officers of state. In this autobiographical narrative, the Princess tells us that the change was one absolutely neces sary to the best interests'of the country ; and she is right in her assertion, for a monarch more unfit to reign than Peter the Third —more dissipated and extravagant in his habits, more regardless of his people's welfare, and more tyrannical in liis nature—never yet ascended a throne. In the volumes before us, we have many curious anecdotes of him ; but the circumstances attending his murder, w hi c h occurred a few weeks after his deposition, are very briefl y g l anced at, the Princess contenting herself with j us t d ec l aringher conviction that Catherine was in no way Privy to it. Now this assertion we wholly disbe lieve, for it is not to be imagined for an instaat that the Empress's favourites, the Orloffs, would have dared to venture on such an extreme step as putting her husband to death, without having previously assured themselves of her acquiescence in th 3 step. But the Princess Daschkaw is not very scrupulous, whenever Catherine is the subject of her comments. She professes to hare held her throughout life in the highest reverence and admir:tion, notwithstandin g her shameless incontinence, her reckless ambition, her profuse extravagance, and her atrocious foreign wars, which were invariably under taken without the slightest regard to justice, or the law of nations. We therefore place little or no reliance on the estimate formed of Catherine the Second's character in these volumes, except indeed as regards her intellect, which it is scarcely possible, for even such a zealous par tizan as the Princess, to overrate. But though, as a work of authority, we hold these Memoirs very cheap, it is but fair to state that they relate many anecdotes which we doubt not are authentic, and some of which are of an exceedingly diverting character. We subjoin two, relating to the Emperor Peter, and the Empress Anne, of Russia : " It is well known that, during the reign of Peter the First, it was the custom of that tyrant to punish those Nobles who offended him, by an imperial order that they should become fools ; from which moment the unfortunate victim, however endowed with intellect, instantly became the laughing -stock of the whole Court; he had the privi lege of saying everything he chose, at the peril, however, of being kicked or horsewhipped, without daring ) to offer any sort of retaliation ; everything he did was ridiculed, his complaints treated as jests, and his sarcasms sneered at and commented on, as marvellous proofs of understanding in a fool. The Empress Anne surpassed this abominable cruelty, but sometimes mingled in her practices so much of oddity, that it was impossible not to be entertained. Once she decreed that a certain Prince should become a hen, to punish him for some trifling misdemeanour; and for this purpose she ordered a large basket, stuffed with straw, and hollowed into a nest, with a quantity of eggs inside, to be placed conspicuously in one of the principal rooms at Court. The Prince was condemned, on pain of death, to sit upon this nest, and render himself to the last degree ridiculous by imitating the cackling of a hen." PICTORIAL SIIAKSPEARE. PART XV 171.

The present Part of this edition of Shakspeare, by far the completest that has yet issued from the Press, contains the entire tragedy of King Lear, illustrated by a variety of brief, pertinent notes, and embellished with several appropriate plates. FOREIGN QUARTERLY REVIETV—.No. 49. Black, London, 1840. The reading public muse, we should conceive, be by this time quite sick of translations of Faustus, and essays on the genius, &c. of Goethe, for all that can possibly be said upon the subject, has been said a hundred times al ready. We could therefore have spared the critical comments on the " Two Parts of Faust ". which appear in the present Number, inasmuch as they do little more than reiterate threadbare common-places. The Re viewer, as we gather from a hint thrown out in the course of his criticism, is no great admirer of Byron, observ ing that Goethe had a higher opinion of him than " posterity will probably sanction." Posterity will doubtless repudiate the philosophy of the Noble poet, which is generally shallow, and based on a flimsy foundation ; but it will not fail to do justice to his graphic powers of description, his uncommon force of style, his wit, his tenderness, and ready sagacity, as evinced in almost every page of his chef d'(euvre, Don Juan. These are excellencies not to be forgotten, especially as they are rarely found united in the same author, and a hundred years hence will be quite as fully appreciated as they are now. The " Old Popular Bal lads and Songs of Sweden " is introduced by some ap propriate observations on the influence exercised over nations by their ballad literature. Nowhere have these rude, heartfelt rhymes had a more general stirring ef fect than in England ; and if we were asked to mention the book which has had the greatest share in moulding the poetical character of the last half century, we should have no hesitation in namin g ' Percy's Relics," a most fascinating work—though the Bishop had afterwards, the folly to be ashamed of it—which first warmed into life the genius of Scott and Wordsworth, the two master-spirits of their age. " Egyptian Hieroglyphics" speaks in animated terms of praise of the discoveries of Young and Champollion in the valley of the Nile ; and alluding incidently to some of the more gigantic of the ruins of Egypt, the Reviewer says :—" Centuries have rolled on, decades of centuries have passed ; Persians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, have each and all in their turn captured, plundered, mutilated the wirks of art and monuments of this people ; still do they remain, though broken and mutilated, the proudest monuments of the hand of man, bearing upon them in the desolation of the desert, in the hum of the city, the inscribed re cords of the magnificence of their creators. They re main, like the gigantic fossils of an extinct world, the silent witnesses of the mighty dead, only awaiting the rising beams of the dawn of discovery to draw from them, like their own Memnon, the broken and articu lated sounds of what they were." In the article on the " Russian Survey of the North Eastern Coast of Si beria," there are several curious particulars respecting the intense winter cold of that distant region, a portion of which lies completely exposed to the piercing winds that come sweeping from the North Pole. In January, the rigour of the season is so great, that the very act of breathing becomes painful, and the snow itself throws off a vapour! The subjoined anecdote will convey a vivid. idea of the intense severity of a Siberian winter : " M. Von Wrangel made it a point every evening to change his stockings, and his travelling companion, M. Kosmin, had nearly lost the use of his limbs by ne glecting this prudent precaution. The second or third morning after their departure, this gentleman. com plained that his feet were frozen, • He was advised to change his stockings, which he had not done for two nights. But when he pulled of his boots (says M.Von Wrangel), what was our horror on seeing his stockings frozen fast to his feet ! With the utmost caution we proceeded to relieve him from this painful situation, in doing which we found complete strata of ice, of perhaps the tenth of an inch in thickness, within his stockings !" Summer in Siberia is scarcely less annoying in its way than winter ; for, in the early part of July, gnats apprkenear there in such countless swarms as absolutely to d a the atmosphere. And this is the climate to which the t • ever-active humanity of the Russian Nichol as has trans ported thousands of the bravest and most ill ustrious Poles! MASTER HUMP.MREPS CLOCK—Nos. 1., IL machinery sup pose, Chapman and Hall, Londo n, 1840 . " Master Humphrey's Clock," ofdwhichßo z, we pose, will speedily take leave , a s be id of the of the " Pickwick Club," in the livel y Paper s o f t h at name, is merely a vehicle for introducing a variety of odd stories, serious and comic, legends, sketches from life, &c. &c., which, under the hacknied titl e of " Tales, and Sketches of Character," might exc i te little notice, but which, under their present quaint, ad captandum title, can scarcely fail to rouse, if they do not gratify , the curiosit y and expec tations of the public. We cannot say we think the idea of the " Clock " a happy one ; it is, too evidently far fetched ; and the author appears to he of the same opinion, at least if we may judge from the careful, pains -taking manner in which he endeavours to fami liarize it to our minds. " Master Humphrey's Port folio," or " Master Humphrey's Writing-Desk," would have been far simpler and more natural ; but then the title would have wanted that quaintness and novelty clod, which i s now so essen ti a l to the success of a wor k of fiction. B ut t h e mos t cu rious part of the u th ch ing a is e namely, th a t th e clock is not so m as a cupboard, wherein Master Humphery and two other old friends, deposit from time to time such manu script tales and sketches as they have passed their leisure hours in writing ; and these productions the owner of the clock, or rather cupboard, proposes to give weekly, in detached portions to the public, for the small charge of threepence, including embel lishments. The first number is devoted to an auto biographical sketch of " Master Humphrey," a de scription of his pet clock, and a tale, the scene of which is laid at Guildhall on a Lord Mayor's Day. The tale—so much of it, at least as has yet appeared— contains some lively touches of nature, but reminds us too much of the manner of Washington Irving, especially of his admirable city sketch, entitled " Little Britain." Master Humphrey's account of himself is characterised by a pleas ing vein of sentiment and good-humour ; but that part of the number which Boz has worked out with the most care is the sketch of the clock ; and here he has been eminently successful ; infusing into his description infinite warmth, spirit, and, we may add, tenderness. How unaffectedly eloquent is this passage, and how healthy and cordial the spirit of life that stirs throughout it ! Is it of a mere inanimate clock that Master Humphrey is speaking ? No ; he has breathed into it the warm breath of vitality ; he has boldly informed it with consciousness ; put a pulse into its throbbing penJulum ; thrown an expression of hu manity over its staid countenance ; and impressed us with the convictioa that it is, and deserves to be, his best friend! " What other thing that has not life could cheer me as my old clock does ; what other thing that has not life (l ; will not say how few things that have) could have proved the same patient, true, untiring friend ! How often have sate in the long winter evenings feeling such society in its cricket voice, that raising my eyes from my book and look ing gratefully towards it, the face, reddened by the glow of the shining fire, has seemed to relax from its staid expression, and to regard me kindly ; how often in the summer twilight; when my thoughts have wandered back to a melancholy past, have its regular whisperings recalled them to the calm and peaceful present ; how often in the dead tran quiility.of night has its bell broken the oppressive silence. and seemed to give me assurance that the old clock was still a faithful watcher at my chamber-door !My easy chair, my desk, my ancient furniture, my very books, I can scarcely bring myself to love even these last like my old clock 1" The second Number reports a conversatioa.beld at midnight between Gog and Magog, who agree to tell each other stories by way of pleasantly passing away their time—a clumsy device, and certainly not redeemed by any special excellence in the tale which Gog tells to his brother giant. But we must see more of " Master Humphrey's Clock" before we pronounce a decided opinion. It is not fair to judge from two Numbers. THE KIRK OF SCOTLAND. PRESBYTERY OF PERTH. _ - REASONS OF DISSENT FOR THE REV. THOMAS CLARK AND OTHERS. I dissent from the resolution of the Presbytery to transmit to the General Assembly this overture on what is called Non-intrusion, for the following Reasons :-- 1. Because the overture, however carefully and cau tiously worded, has for its object to encourage the Su preme Ecclesiastical Court of this country in a system of passive resistance to the law of the land—a course of conduct as unbecoming Christian ministers, and as inju rious to the peace of society, as a more open and active rebellion. 2. Because such a resistance appears to me to be a direct violation of the oath of allegiance, hitherto re quired of, and taken by, every candidate for the minis try, before he is set apart by an act of solemn ordination to the duties of the pastoral office. 3. Because the plea of conscientious scruples can be no justification for refusing to perform the duties re quired by law, so long as the resisting parties continue to demand and receive the stipulated wages of their ervicc , for, to claim the reward of servants, and yet refuse to do the work of servants, is to act a part not cas'ly to be reconciled with the principles of common equity. 4. Because the interpretation of the law, as given by the Court of Session, and now confirmed by the House of Lords, does not differ from the construction put on it by the Church herself. as manifested by her acts acrd. procedure for a very long period ; and hence it secii4 very inconsistent and unaccountable to raise a clamour about a deliverance, which makes no demand on the Church that she is not bound by law to perform, and which she has peaceably and faithfully discharged for the last 100 years. 5. Because, of all men, it peculiarly becomes the mi nisters of the Gospel to set an example of submission and order, to show that they believe what they teach, viz., that " the powers that be are ordained of God." 6. Because, if all communities and corporated bodies were to imitate the example of the Church, there would be nothing but anarchy and confusion through the length and breadth of the land ; and because I am persuaded that if the Church Courts persevere much longer in their present course of contemning the autho rity.of the law, •it will lead to the most fearful conse quences, both as respects the stability of civil govern ment, and the interests of the Christian religion. 7. Because, if the real independence of the Church and the religious privileges of the people be now in danger—and I sincerely believe they arc—it is not from any encroachment on the part of the civil power, owing to the uncalled. for jealousy, the unseemly agitation, and the illegal procedure of those ministers and members of Church C*irts, who, making their ecclesiastical autho rity an apology for civil disobedience, have brought about a•collision, the end of which none living can fore see, and the consequences of which way be wept over by generations yet unborn. THOMAS CLARK, ROBERT JOHN ROBERTSON, 25th March, 1840. &c. &c. The' United Associate . Congregation of Abbey Close met on Monday night; 'and agreed to petition both Houses of Parliamentob4 they, with the least possible delay, put a total and'finil end to the connection of Church and State. The 'Meeting, was most cordial in wishing their brethren in the Establishment all the Spi ritual independence which they can desire, and which Dissenters crijo'Y',. and entirely concurred in the senti ments which they so publicly express, that i n all matter relative to the government of the Church, the laws and institutions of Christ, her only King and Head, are the supreme and only rule, and that no human power can exercise authority in these, without an invasion of the prerogative. The meeting looked tipo'n the present movements in the Church of Scotland with much con cern, and regretted to see so many members of that body setting at open defiance the laws of the country, and thereby furnishing an example inconsistent with the peace and order of civil society. That the means adopted by the Church to secure the permanence of their civil establishment (felt now to be in danger), by legalis ing the Veto Law, was only fitted to increase the power of the clergy, without adding much to the privileges of the peonle, and would certainly fail in reclaiming Dissenters to the communion of the Church. That while their bre thren in the Establishment, are impressing the Govern ment, the Legislature, and the country, with the idea that Dissenters are not hostile to their object, they resolved to take no part in the controversy of the Established Church within: itself, but to petition Parliament, calling their attention to the mischievous tendency and conse quences of the connection between Ch urc h an d State, and entreat them to put a final end to that connection without delay.—Correspondent of Paisley Advertiser. SEPARATION 'OF CH URCH AND STA T E.--- The peti tion to both Houses of Parliament for the separation of Church 'and State was closed on Wednesday last. After it had undergone a strict scrutiny, and every fictitious name which could be ascertained had been erased, the signatures were found to amount to 18,769. Had it continued a few days longer there is reason to believe that it would have been increased to the extent of some thousands more ; for during the last two days on which it lay in the shops it received between two and three thousand names. We . have thus conclusive prod of the great progress which Voluntary Church principles have made in the metropolis. It is to be despatched immediately to the Duke of Sussex for presentation in the House of Lords, and to Mr. Gillon for the House of Commons.—Scots Pilot. Colquhoun of Killermont has written a long letter,--- the double object of which appears to be to set the non-intrusionists against Ministers, and promote an alliance on grounds totally destructive on the principle, or rather unprinciple, of non-intrusion between the wild men and their old friends the Tories. This, of course, has given offence to the few sincere dupes of the party, and the cry of treason has already been raised against the saintly Member for Kilmarnock. With God's blessing, these dissensions, discouragemebts, and heavy blows, will put a speedy end to the folly that has set the peaceable people of Scotland together by the ears. IRVINE... ANOTIIER INTERDICT.---TiliS Presbytery held a meeting on Tuesday. After being constituted, they proceeded to elect their Commissioners to the en suing General Assembly, when the Rev. John Wilson, Irvine ; C. B. Steven, Stewarton ; A. B. Campbell, Kilwinning ; and J. C. Jamieson, Dreghorn ; Ministers. W. H. Crawford, Eq., of Crawfordland ; and P. B. Mure Macredie, Esq., of Pcrcetora, Elders, were duly appointed. An interim interdict from the Court of Stewarton, the Session, at the instance of Mr. Cunninghame of Lain. Wasshatys, served d tl o ie n t other he m h o e d r e i troartso Moderator of andthe taking Presbytery from pariah Clerk, prohibiting f any steps to divide the garish of Stewarton, or of allocating any part of it to the Rev. Mr. Clelland, or appointing him a Kirk Session, with power over the parishioners in matters of discipline or otherwise, and prohibiting them from allowing Mr. Clelland to sit and vote in the Presbytery in any matter conn ected with the parish. The Presbytery, consider ing that this matter was , at their last meeting, refe rre d , sinip liciter to the Assembly, appointed a C omm i ttee to communicate this fact to the Lord Ordinary, an d , if necessary, to employ Counsel to answer for them, in 14 clays,as required by the interdict.—Ay r Ad vertiser. At the meeting of the members of the Paisley Pres bytery on Wednesday, Sir 'William Napier appeared personally, and objected to any alteration whatever of his parish (that of Kilbarchan), from which the new parish was to be in part taken. He would submit to PRICE sd. none of their divisions, and if they proceeded, be would protest, and carry the case to the highest Court in the country. Sir William then lodged his protest, but after a short conference, and an agreement to adjourn the consideration of the case to a meeting to be held at Bridge of Weir, the protest was for the time with drawn.—Glasgow Chronicle. KETTLE.—Ouring the past week three petitions were sent from this place and neighbourhood to Par liament,—two for the repeal of the Corn-laws, with chtT r he e nhie c ,vie o eds i dpr n teea m dntti e etta ndatio n to ma k e prov i s i on f or t h e i nterests o f tenants under ex i s ti ng l eases , an d one for the ent i re separatio n o f Ch urc h and State, as the only effectual means for s ecur i ng at once t h e i ndependence and free dom o f t h e Ch urch, and the peace and good order of . ianor ndi y f T ffio h o fretuytrhhundred ugs Corn-law nendpa raterud separation tep signatures,i signatures u t i i i t ol i o f t n ch received Church be i u v ie,ri e sna d egn aodmbf State u trna t eet t et h dh r ara e eyn e : double the number of the non-intrusion petition.— Scottish Pilot. THE VETOISTS AND THE GOVERNMENT.—TIIC im •portunate knocking of the Vetoists at the doors of Downing -street has failed in procuring them any shelter or aid in that quarter. On Monday night, Lord John Russell in the Commons, and Lord Melbourne in.tho Lords, in answer to questions, stated (in substance), that the Ministry were of opinion that it would be impossible to bring forward, at present, a measure which Would ef fect a satisfactory settlement, or which would 'be likely to obtain the approval of Parliament. They . therefore did not intend to interfere in the Matter - qt . feast until after the meeting. of the General Assttlibr. Sir Ro bert Peel pressed Lord John to saY wit ' . :5 . r not the Government would be prepared to qat;i4:e•Mler the meeting of Assie4y. ttiKidirellltirt, Lord Jolt replied to this question 'i n woedi‘tiYiali rqt . i t y preted as " rather N o th an Yes.AAkccording to he said, " they wou ld lik - very elYT . rnake so me atte tT p4- Which of these reports is the — cosreect7nrie , We : have net_ means of knowing ; . -butli is' tolerably certain: Chat : Mi-: nisters will not " meddle - or make" in - ibe niateer. - In" the meantime; Lord Ab er d een b as g i ven notice that he will introduce a measure after Easter forthe adjust _ ment of the question ; b ecause (h e says) .such is the . excitement on the subject, that any attempt to enforce the 'law would lead to bloodshed! This, we guess, will be news in Strathbogie. NVhat the nature of Lord Aberdeen's measure may be, it is impossible to guess, as his speeches on the subject have all been so inge niously obscure and " diplomatical" as to leave his opi nions on the merits of the question a matter of total mystery.—Berwick Advertiser. INTRUSION OF ELDERS.—A correspondent informs us that the Rev. Robert Elder, minister of St. Paul's Church, after all his preaching against the intrusion of clergymen, has himself lately intruded a batch of elders upon his congregation, without ever consultin g them. I should like to ask, says our correspondent, ichat is the difference betwixt the intrusion of ministers and the intrusion of elders upon congregations ?—Scots man. The damage done by the Perthshire election to the non-intrusion cans?, in the only sense in which the people need to care about it, cannot well be exagge rated, either as respects its influence on the country generally, or with Parliament and the Government. Perthshire will be regarded as the index to the feeling of Scotland on the subject, and by this test, which can ❑ot with a show of plausibility be rejected, the feeling appears to be neither so strong nor so widely diffused as we Wad previously imagined.—Scoilish GENERAL ASSEMBLY. — Aberdeen, by a majority of 13 to 3, has returned a Moderate ; Banff and Inver ness have done the same ; and, with the exception of Perth, Montrose, and perhaps Glasgow, there will hardly be a town in Scotland that will return a non intrusionist. This is the more remarkable, as it was by the votes and influence of the burgh representatives that the veto act was carried in 1834. CHURCH RATES EXCESSIVE DISTRESS FOR ' A CHURCH RATE IN BETHNAL GREEN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—I have recently suffered a " visitation" for a Church-rate ; I have reason to suppose that the same ex cess of charge, when distresses for Church-rates are levied, is made generally which has recently been inflicted upon me, by the sect who possess the privilege to put the burthen of their worship on the shoulders of others. There are, doubtless, some of your readers of similar opinions to my self, who, whilst they conscientiously pay tribute to whom tribute is due, refuse to offer allegiance, or pay taxes, to any civil Government in matter of religion. It is for the information of such that I send the following statement : In December last the Churchwardens of St. Matthew's, Bethnal-green, accompanied by a broker and their rate collector, came into my house and distrained, and took away three silver teaspoons for 4s. 21, a Church-rate claimed from me, and ss. 6d. claimed as expenses for doing sa. At the same time they left with me the following no tices : " To Mr. William Kincaid, or whom it may concern :" " Take notice that on behalf of Messrs. George Morris and John Tilly, Churchwardens for the time being of the parish of St. Matthew's, Bethnal-green, in the county of Middlesex, I have this day distrained upon your several goods and chattels, as expressed in tEe inventory hereunder written, for and towards the payment of the sum of four shillings and two-pence, being so much in arrears fur a Church-rate made and duly allowed, on the 25th day of January last, and now due and owing and or dered to be paid according to law, for }our dwelling-house, messuage, or tenement, situate and being No. 13, Mape street, in the parish of St. Matthew, Bethnal-green, in the county of Middlesex. And further, take notice, that unless the above-named sum of four shillings and two pence, together with all expenses attending this distress, be paid, or the said goods and chattels replevied within five days from the date hereof, the same will be appraised and sold according to law.—Dated this 20th day of De• cember, 1839.

" Dated this 20th December, 1839." " Mr. Kincaid--Take notice that the three spoons named on this inventory are removed and impounded at Mr. Thomas Bliss, the collector of this rate above named, No. 123, Church-street, Bethnal Green-road, until the rate and expences are paid or the time is out to sell the same according to law. " E. B. WEARING, Broker. " Witness, THOS. BLISS, Collector." I heard no more of my spoons until the 24th February following, when I received the following account flora the broker:—. " An account of the property distrained on belonging to Mr. Kincaid, of No. 13, Mape-street, Betbrial Green road, for the sum of four shillings and twopence being for a Church-rate made and duly allowed on the 25th day of January, 1839, at the parish of St. Matthew's, Bethnal green : Rate due and distrained for Expenses levy on goods.., Man £0 4 2 0 3 0 0 2 6 Stamp inventory Two appraisers valuing 0 2 6 0 0 4 Rate and broker's expences Of,. • • Three tea spoons sold for . .. £0 12 6 0 15 0 Balance due to Mr. Kincaid on this ac count £0 2 6 " Dated this 24th day of February, 1840, " E. B. WEARING, Licensed Broker, Ward's-row, Bcthnal Green-road , You will thus see that I was charged 2s. 6d. for a man said to have been brought to aid these four gentleman to carry away three tea-spoons. This appeared to me to be so monstrous, and it being important to prevent those less able to afford it, from having expenses thus unnecessarily and oppressively in. creased, I determined to learn if the Law Church was entitled thus to put an extra leech upon every sufferer; and I found that the Statue 97 Geo. 3, c. 93, regulating the costs upon small distresses for rent was ex tended by the 7th and Bth Geo. 4, c. 17, to Church-rates, and that the 57th Geo. 3, enacts, that if any broker charges for any act not really done, he is liable to treble the value and expenses. As the letter of my solicitors to the broker states the whole case; I send a copy of it : " Mr. E. B. Wearing. Friday, 28th Feb. 1840. " Sta—On or about the 20th of December last, you, with the two Churchwadens, and Mr. Bliss the collector, entered the premises of Mr Kincaid, and took therefrom as a distress for 4s. 2d. for Church -rates, and ss. 6d. ex penses, three silver tea-spoons, which you have since re turned as sold for 15s. " We are instructed by Mr. Kincaid, to point out to you that you proceeded irregularly in distraining for a greater amount than you were entitled to distrain for, and have taken and detained from him a greater sum for ex penses than you are by law entitled to take. " Mr. Kincaid feels deeply the cruelty and oppression of the law, which compels him, as a Dissenter, to build places of worship for the Established sect; but he has no wish to proceed at law against you, who are a mere in strument of working out, what he conceives to be, oppres sion, and he has therefore instructed us to give you notice of the irregularity, and an opportunity of refunding the over-charge which you have made. " We beg to refer you to the 57 Geo. 111., c. 93 (ex tended by the 7 and 8 Geo. IV., c. 17, to Church-rates), as the Act regulating the costs you are to chake, and to point out to you, that if any person charges for any act not really done, he 13, by the first of those statutes, made liable to treble the value and the expenses. By distraining in the first instance for more than you were entitled to, you and those who accompanied you, were guilty of an exces sive distress. " You have charged for a man in possession of the three silver spoons one day. _ . " NOw in this case there was no man in possession, for the Churchwardens and their party walked away with the spoons, and, upon your attention being called to the fact, you must be conscious that such a charge cannot be sus tained, ;here can be no necessity in any case for a man, in addition to the broker, to keep possession of three silver spoons. " We are therefore instructed to request that diat item of charge may be refunded on or before Wednesday next, or our instructions are to take legal proceedings to enforce it. " Mr. Kincaid does not go to this expense for the sake of the 2s. 6d., nor from any feeling of personal unkind ness towards you, but from the determination that that which is oppressive in itself to Dissenters, shall not be made more so by the exaction of illegal charges from those who can less afford it and are unable to vindicate themselves by legal proceedings. " We are, &c., &c. " ASHURST and GAINSFORD." On receipt of this letter Mr. Wearing called upon me, and stated that he had perused the Act and found the charge was illegal, and returned the overplus of the sale as well as the overcharge. I should do Mr. Wearing the justice to say that be con ducted himself with personal civility through the whole matter. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, 13, Mape-street, Bethnal- WM.

Joseph Proctor, aged 48, described as a broker, was in dicted for forgery and uttering a certain receipt on a gen tleman, with intent to defraud the Receiver-General of ber Majesty's Customs. Messrs. Adolphus and Chambers conducted the nro3e cution on behalf of the Customs, and Mr. Thomas defended the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence that Mr. Cabber is the proprietor of a wine-vaults at King's-cross, and a short time back he purchased a cask of brandy in the London docks, and paid the duty for fifty-four gallons, the quantity which it was supposed to contain, but upon its being brought home it was discovered that there were only fifty gallons in it, and the prosecutor upon this employed the defendant, who had before acted as agent for him, to get back the excess of duty he had paid. The prisoner after wards tuld him that a difficulty had arisen about getting the money back, but that he expected to obtain it ulti mately, but that it would be paid to no cue but Mr. Cab b,:r. himself. It subsequently appeared that the defendant had obtained the money from the Custom-house and had produced a person there who was represented to be Mr. Cabber, and that he signed a receipt for the amount, 41. 10s. The priscuer received a go )cl chsralter. The jury found him Guilty, but recommended him to mercy. Jostph Davis was indicted for feloniously leaving a ce ,._ taro deep hole, in a common and public highway, i ns , cure and unprotected, whereby one John Brook Daly was cast and thrown into the said hole, and did thereby receive a mortal fracture of the log, of which he languished and died. Some other witnessses were summoned, when Baron ALDERSON expressed an opinion that the evidence was complete, and directed an acquittal.

THE LATE WOOLWICH MURDER.--On Fri day morning a large concourse of persons were attracted to the churchyard at Woolwich, to witness the ceremony of erecting a column to the memory of Sergeant-Major Shepherd, late of the Royal Artillery, who was shot through the body by Willi s , a gunner and driver, while doing duty on the parade. NAPOLEON'S TAX SYSTEM.—The finances of a great State, in the opinion of the Emperor, ought to fur nish the means for meeting extraordinary circumstances, and even the vicisstudes of the most obstinate wars, without being obliged to have recourse to fresh taxes, the establishment of which is always attended with difficulty. His system was to institute a great number of taxes, which in ordinary times might be little felt by the people, but the amount of which might be raised or lowered, according to the pressure of the moment, by means of what was called additional centimes,---- Opinions of Napoleon, by Prince Louis.

POSEN, MARCII 27.—1 t has been lately affirmed here that the Archbishop has lately become more tractable, and this is generally considered to be in consequence of a c - ,nl; munication made to him from Rome.

BERLIN, APRIL 6.—From the expressions of some per sons in the suite of the Grand Duke Alexander during his visit to Berlin, it has been inferred that his Imperial High ness and the persons about him, were not quite satisfied with their visit to the capital of Poland ; only the admir able manner in which the extensive fortifications had been executed in so short a time was highly commended.

These persons, while persisting in upholding the policy which by utterly pro hibiting a modified and well-regulated outdoor relief to such labourers as are temporarily, partially, or wholly out of employment, generates a migratory legion of me nacing beggars, footpads, sheepstea!ers, shoplifters, pick pockets, and housebreakers, manifestly deprive themselves of the Strongest of all grouuds upon which the new Con slahulary Bill may be unanswerably opposed—namely, the facility and expediency of removing the causes that consti tute the undeniable foundation of its alleged necessity. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. (MONDAY EVENING.) CHRON IC LE.—ln the English Stock Market the jobbers and brokers were principally occupied in ar ranging their accounts for the settlement in Consols, which lakes place to-morrow. The fluctuatiot.s, how ever, have been extremely limited, the continuation to the May Aceount varying only from 5-16 to per cent. Exchequer Ells remain without alteration, being 23 ,;.to •?ss. prem. The Corn Market was flat to-day, both English and Foreiga wheat being quoted from 2s. to lower ; very fine samiles of the former may pro bably not he more than Is. to 2s. per qr. lower. Bar ley was likewise Is. to 2s. per qr. cheaper. SU market for Teas this afternoon was in a firm state, hut it is almost impossible to give anything like accurate quotations. The deliveries last week amounted to :325,000 lbs. • The principal proportion of the business transacted in the . Stock Market this afternoon was in the balancing of accounts preparatory to the settlement in Consols for the present month, which is fixed to take place to morrow. Money is becoming more plentiful. On Stock it is scarcely worth :31 per cent. for short periods. It is still said that the bold investments by the Govern ment Brokers were on account of the East India Company. • We hear nothing as yct of the British Quer n steamer. The Stock Market closed firmly, Consols at 91? ; Exchrquer Bills at 255. premium ; and Bank Stock at 173. Mr. Coie bought 12.000/. Reduced Annuities, sai 1 to be on account of the East India Com pany. Money is so easy, that few parties were inclined this afternoon to carry over their accounts to May. Spanish Consols left off at 2Si ; Portuguese New Five per Cents, at an improvement to 36 ; Colombian Bonds at 2.5 ii-; and Mexican at 28 ; the two latter being rather heavy. Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. rose to 34k. The Railway Shar e s arc still advancing. The Bir mingham touched 71 premium this afternoon.; the South Western 4 a premium ; the North Midland 2i discount ; the Greenwich 10$ discount ; and the Great Western 9! premium. The Brighton were rather hea.vy at 11-; , discount. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. CH/ ,S TER; APRIL 11. • " THE CHARTIST TRIALS. The" whole of tbd'ay and yesterday the Learned Judge (Sir H. W. MAm:E) has been engaged in trying the Chartists, who traversed at the last assizes, on charges of conspiracy, sedition, riot, &c. There was nothing novel in the majority of the cases, the offences having arisen from the political excitement in July and August last year. I n the cases of James Barton, Isaac Armitage, George Ware_ ham, Thomas Howartte, John Wright, John Broadbent, James Duke, and John Livesly, who were indicted for, and convicted of, a seditious conspiracy, it was preyed that the prisoners had attended the illegal meetings after her Majesty's proclamation for their suppression, and that they had acted with others in various parts of the kingdom with one common design, for the purpose of endeavouring to obtain an alteration in the existing laws by force of arms. It was also shown that they had made use of vio lent and seditious language at the different meetings spoken to by the witnesses, and that a number of pikes, guns, a quantity of ammunition, and some seditious publics. tions had been found in their dwellings. Among the let ter were Colonel Maceroni's instructions to the people in the art of street fighting. • Seditious placards, signed by all the members of the late National Convention, collect ing books for the national rent, in which the names of those who refused to subscribe to the funds of it were marked in red ink. The Learned Judge sentenced these prisoners to twelve months' imprisonment, at the end of which period to find sureties in 501. each. to keep the peace for three years, and to be bound in their own recognizance of 1001. Isaac Johnson, of Stockport, who was convicted of ut tering seditious language at Stockport in August last, was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment, to find sureties, himself: in 2001. and two sureties in 1001. each, to keep the peace for two years. This prisoner spoke for five hours in his defence. NVitliam Benbow, of Manchester, late of Londe,n, found guilty of uttering seditious language in Stor:aport, was sentenced to sixteen months' imprisonment, addition to the eight months he has already undergone, The prisoner made a'defence attic principles of Char-ism, which occu pied:the C"urt for ten hours.

It is pleasant to observe one or two good symptoms in re spect of public matters. First, as tofibe Anti- Corn-law agi tation. We perceive there are frost edvcrtisements out for lecturers against the Corn-laws. , We' thitik. it inky ..be fairly concluded that, if there were anything like a natural and growing dislike to the Corn-laws' among the populace, no such additional artificial means would be found neces sary. That must be a strange sort of grievance which it is found necessary to hire lecturers to put the populace in mind of. We believe the truth to be that it has become extremely difficult to "keep up the steam," as the phrase is, of Anti-Corn-law agitation. 'The whole affair wants reality, (From th e M orn i ng H erald.) Nothin g can be more obvious than that, in legislating for Canada, a mistake of no great apparent magnitude may involve the loss of those invaluable colonies. The great object to be attained is the establishment on .the firmest possible footing of British supremacy throughout our North American provinces. It is, of course, most de sirable to secure the largest measure of justice to the French Canadian. Their grievances, if such exist, ought at once to be redressed ; but they must be made to feel that 'the ascendancy of British views and opinions is the great end in reference to the Cauadas of English policy. As yet it might be unsafe to repose much Confidence, during times of danger, in the French Canadians. (From the Morning Chronicle.) Lord Stanley, when he moved for leave to bring in his Bill to destroy the Elective Franchise in Ireland, by way of exhibiting the factious spirit of the opp os i t i on be had to contend with, stated that the Irish Registry Association had, without any knowledge of the measure, instructed the Liberal Irish members to resist it, whatever its provi sions might he. We are authorised positively to contradict his Lordship's statement ; at the same time observing that no man has so little right to complain of the conduct falsely imputed to the Registry Association as he who so lately proclaimed his resolution to act upon the self-same obstructive principle upon every question brought forw ar d by her M a j es t y ' s Mi n i sters. Th e association referral to gave no instructions of the kind : they merely communi cated with the rep resentat i ves o f t h e I r i s h peop l e to direct their attention to the contemplated measure, and deal with it according to its merits—rejecting it if found to be hostile and destructive, supporting it if found to be a bona fide reform of abase, and calculated to promote the public in terests.
