Not even Boz has come up to its autlior in the powerful delineations of criminals. The scenes, too, in which these are engaged are drawn with a great force, and with a fear ul nakedness; yet they are nut so melo-dramatic or merely phy,ical as some of a similar character i❑ Oliver nor are they done with such appearance of effort.

The remarks which we mane on Saturday, con cerning the Friday debate, had a merit which we did not dream of when we wrote them. They served to refute, in anticipation, some observations of the Morning Post of Saturday. That slip-slop journal, little in thought and big in phrase, feeble in matter and pompous in manner, was pleased to find in our straiqht-forward mode of dealing with the Dish Registration question a disregard of cer tain moral principles. What we complained of, how ever, was that the Tories considered nothing in the Irish Registration question, but that they were kept out of office by the independent Irish vo!er, and, under the hypocritical pretence of a holy regard for morality, they wanted to pass a law which would so harrass the humble man that he should never be placed on the registration, whatever might be his rights, except as that might suit his opulent "fury landlord. We condemned the whole pro ceedmg on tae part of the Tories 'as another ex a•rple of that detestable hypocrisy which is the dis • tinvishing feature of their political sayings and d:Jings. O. r efence of the Irish electors amounted to this, tl at they, according to the worst accusations f their foes, imitate once every three or four years •he daily and habitual practices of the 'rories. Even that defence, however, was not put forth in Lehouf of the Ministers, for in our' remarks on Friday we cordially and sincerely reprobated the ► orntenance which they give, by Mr. PICOT'S B I, to the mumbling hypocrisy and calumnies of the Tories. We si elk. of them as politicians, not as private individuals, when we say that they have no epugnarice to false swearing—witness Cambridge and Ludlow—to the most detestable bribery and corruption ; they only sham a horror at such vices wi.en it suits their purpose. Their whole case, so far as the arc concerned—Lord POWERS COURT'S as onion, to wit, of false statements— consists of falsehood, calumny, spite, selfish bigotry, and subornation of perjury. We have no partiality for such vices, hut the political system of the country teems with them and encourages them. To attain political eitds they are habitually tied !y all political patt;es. We see no reason why the Irish Catholics &one should he the objects of the v Lupus indgnation of the Tories, except it be, as we have a:ready said, because those vices are not piaciised for behoof of the Tories. For them to preet:d an aversion to the ordinary means they employ to attain their political ends, is only adding li-spocrisy to all the sins of which they accuse the Cu holie s . We will add, as an illustration of the character of the TwieF, who prwe about perjury and an in and a dominant priesthood, that the debate of Friday night revealed to every o!istlv,r that in Ireland such a thing as an inde pt ndent franchise is rarely net with. Mr. SIT TEL, 1o: example, spoke of Mr. FA UCITT'S freeholders as if the votes belonged to 'the landlord, not to those who are nominally intrusted with the franchise. Dr. LEFRoy and Mr. Sergeant JACKSON, unques tionable authorities, spoke repeatedly of Lady Loss's voters, and Mr. LEFROY'S voters, and other Meintlei-s spoke of other landlords' vottrs, con vincing us, mote certainly than if they had so said, that , the- votes, though given by the tenants, are re gariued as belonging to the landlords. The voters are only the vehicles for carrying the landlord's wishes to the 11011, and then registering thei:i. Sometimes the voters have h a d t h e audacity to regard the votes as their own, and h ave di sposed of them according to their own fancy or conscience, and then the, rage of the landlords that their slave s should dare to rebel is boundless. In fact, and in short, the whole case may be stated in one se,nertieunicyg: mean Th landlo r d s , w hil e they complain of p independ ence , an d w hil e they talk of immorality, mean that they are not allowed to bind the . con sciences o f men i n t h e i r fitters. But the licks o f their tyrannic c h a i n are b ro k en , and their hypo critical screaming will never again rivet them on the people. We received la , t night the Flanders and Dutch nails. They conta i n no news. The Funds have not materially varied since our last accounts. We have received the Flanders and Hamburgh Mail, but their contents are !destitute of interest. The only circumstance deserving notice is contained in a letter fro:r.l3 , ,rli n to a Hamburgh journal, which states, that the late King of PRUSSIA enjoined his son above all things to use his utmost endeavours to preserve the peace of Europe, t o maintain a strict alliance with Ausr,ria and Russia, and to beware of innovations, with out g .,,i ;) ,-; into the contra ry extreme of being swayed w ithout reason in favour of whatever is old. The French Chamber of Deputies voted the Tram. atlantic Navigation Bill on Th urs d ay . T he lines are to be established baween Bourdeaux and New York between M arse ill es and the fur North America , and River Plata for the South. The Opposition Journals sae no advantage to the country in this measure. They appear persuaded that the English Companies beat the French out of the field. This is not at all unlikely. The following extract of a letter from Constan tine, contains the only news of the slightest interest in the Pais Journals of Thursday : CONSTANTINE, MAY 23.—The ex-Bey Achmet, who had stil 1,500 horsemen, has just been driven from llyr, where he Lai taken refuge, and robbed by his own people, who were near bringing his head to Constantine, as a proof of the good faith of the Aras, who hive made their submission to the Lieutenant. General. _ _ . Fifty Chiefs of various tribes situated on the frontier of Tunis, in the environs of Tepsa, with the Kaid of that last place at their head, have come to announce to the Lieut. - General that they re present theNemenchas and the Amarons, and that they submit to the French authority. We have hitherto had no intercourse with these tribes. The Arab chiefs told the Lieutenant-General that they had attacked Achmet Bey, had killed several of his people, and forced him to retreat into the mountains on the frontier of Tunis, after having captured his tents, several camels, and a part of his flocks; that the ex-Bey had a horse killed under him, and that he narrowly escaped falling- into their hands. This event deprives Achmet cf all hopes of recovering his power ; he lately received, it is said, the diamond insign'a of some order from tlie Sultan ; and he boasted of it in order to gain credit for a report which had spread, that he was going to receive Turkish troops to make war on the French, lint now he must consider his cause as tot ally ruined. A column of 1,200 men • com mand d by Col. Livasseur was sent against Achmed-el-Cherif, which perfectly succeeded. The chiefs of tribes of Riga, which are subject to us, have been protected against the hostile Arabs ; the flocks which had been taken from then have been restored, and the column brought back a good number of cattle. Achnied-el-Cherif fled, and the chief: who had not yet acknowledged El-Mokrany, the Kalify of Medjana, threw themselves at the feet of the Lieutenant, asking pardon, vs hick was granted on their furnishing hostages. This p irtion of the Medjana is now tranquil. Tho.,e tribes will stop the battalions of A bd-el- Kader, should they attempt to move to wards Biscara.— Ls Constitutionnel.

At present we must content our• selves with stating that, as compared to 1837, there was an increased expenditure for the relief of the poor in England and Wales ; in 1838, of 283,3031., or in England an increase of seven per cent., and in Wales of twelve per cent. Unfortunately the tables, though compendious, do not include the average number of persons relieved in the two years, and therefore we can not tell—which we, however, think should be knoWn— how much of the increased expenditure is due to an increase in the number of persons re lieved, or how much is due to the rise in ihe price of provisions. We apprehend, however, that there has been no great increase in the number of paupers, particularly as the increase is greater in the agricultural than in the manufacturing districts. This fact bearing on the Corn-laws, and demonstrating that there is neither a great increase of employment in the agricultural districts nor a lessening of their burdens with the Corn-laws, is we think of considerable importance. Thus in Lancashire, the head quarters of our manufac turers, there was no increase wl.atever ; in the %Vest Riding of York an increase of two, in Stafford two, and in Northumberland one per cant. In Chester there is a decrease of one per cent. ; while in Sussex, the Duke of Richmond's flourishing county, where there is such an abundance of work for the labourers, the in crease is eighteen per cent ; in Berks it is twelve, in Bucks nine, in Cambridge fifteen, in Dorset twenty, in Kent fifteen, and in Somersetshire twenty per cent. In Middlesex, again, almost wholly covered by a town population, the increase is only one per cent., while in Wiltshire—where we know the standard, not of living but of starving, if the workhouse dietary be not greatly superior to the food of the labouring man, is very low— the increase is fourteen per cent. The only instance we see of decrease amongst the agricultural counties is Huntingdon one, and Westmor:and two per cent. ; for Nottingham and Leicester, in which the decrease is three per cent , and Derby and Cumberland, in which it is two per cent., are as much manufacturing as agri cultural counties. The next year's returns, when they come, embracing high prices through the whole. year, for in the first part of' 1838 the effects of the Corn laws were not felt, will, we have no doubt, be still more instructive, and still more demonstrative that the Corn laws add to the burdens of pauperism.

Sia—There is one point in the case of Feargu; nor, which I believe has escaped notic, but which I con tend will not only lead to the ruin of many Editors (if continued), but also to aff.ct materially the liberty of the press. Lord Normanby was made to say that F. O'Connor should have every indulgence, save only corresponding with his paper. Now a paper must be ruin,:d if severed from the Editor. Should a paper be so perniciou4 from the opinions of the Editor, let the Judge say so ia passing sentence, and not the Minister of State. To make the ruin of the press more striking, indulge me with a supposed case. The Sun speaks of some powerful individual opposed to its views on the Corn-laws ; a verdict for libel is obtained against the Editor; the prosecutor presses fur no punish ment further than the Editor shall not communicate with his paper. The result.—The Editor is ruined, and with him the cause he may advocate. In the case of O'Connor he suffers a severe imprison ment, and when released hi; profession is ruined from his not having been allowed to carry on his necessary corre spondence —a double punishment, 'which I hold to be con trary to JUSTICE.

LIVERTOOL COTTON MARKET, FRlDAY.—Although the market is not entirely relieved from flatness, there has been a growing improvement in its api , earance, and prices of Ameri can descriptions have increased in firmness, so as to afford a much more ready sale at very full prices, approaching almost to A advance upon the closing quotations of last week. The disposition to purchase on speculation is rather more general, evincing an opinion that little harm can attach to holders at the present rates. Brazil have again declined, and are now at a point which induced buyers of Penang to operate more largely and to give a more settled character toprices. Sea Island and Egyptian are steady at our last quotations, but Surat and Madras are of heavy sale at easier prices. Speculators have taken 10,600 bales of American, and Exporters 1,000 Ameri can, 270 Bengal, and 300 Surat. The Sales to-day are up wards of 6,000 bales, with a healthy market.

EFFECT OF MONOPOLY. Table showing the ex-duty price of West India Sugtr in Mincing-lace, and comparing the same against that of foreign Sugars:— London, June 19, 1840. The Gazette of this evening will quote the average price of British Plantation Muscovado Per Cwt. Sugar, exclusive of duty, at 44s. 6d. The actual quantity of West India Sugar sold on account of the importers, in the week ending the 16th instant, ac cording to the returns made upon o a th by th e W est India "Sugar Brokers, in conformity with the Act of Par. liament, and pn which quantity the above price is com puted, consisted of 1,331 hhds. 118 trs. and 81 brls. Foreign Sugars raised by free labour may be bought this week at from 19s. to 235. per cwt. ; being quality for quality 235. per cwt. cheaper than West India Sugar, and 155. per cwt. less than the industrious classes of this country have to pay to the West India proprietors for tre,:cle of ordinary quality—admitted to home consumption duty free—on the pretence that the poor man may supply himself with a cheap sweet—in reality that the indolent West Indians may enrich themselves at our expense. The West Indians have now had from this country .R20,000,000 and putting the profits arising from their monopoly in all descriptions of colonial pro duce at five millions a year, which is below the real sum, they have had in the seven years since the emancipation 35,000 000 making together the enormous sum of fifty five millions sterling. It has been determined by the Government to eppore any proposition for the alteraticein the Sugar duties; the West ladiaes arc to be indulged with a permission to have the full run of our pockets for another year. This is really too bad, but the plea for imr_roving such a frequent griev =ice on this suffering nation is worse, because it add: in sult to injury. The plea for maintaining the colenial mone poly is. that it would be an act of injustice t 'wards tt e West led:ans to deprive them of any portion of the ad vantages which accrue to them through cur fiscal prohibi tory Caws; b-2cause, as it is alleged, the people of this country compelled them to relinquish the nefarious system of apprenticeship two years sooner than the period origi ne:ly appoieted. Was the apprenticeship clause introdu ced into the Emancipation Act for the benefit of the plan ter- ? Certainly not. It is notorious, and the declaration was made in the House over and over again, that the ap prenticeship clause was passed with the intention of allow leg sufficient time to prepare the negroes for the recep tion of the inestimable blessings of absolute freedom. These negroes, however, acquired in a much less time than it was thought they could do, a perfect acquaintance with the rules of society, and were prepared to fulfil, and have since fulfilled, the duties incith nt to the new state of things around them ; they needed, therefore, no further instruction:; the object for abich the apprenticeship laws acre enacted, was attained. When, however, the friends to the blacks took this view of the question in the House of Commons, up stinted the West Indians, and claimed that the apprenticeship forme...! part and parcel of a com pact with the legislature of this country, that is to say. they claimed, besides the twenty millions compen sation money munificently granted by the nation for the entire liberation of the negroes—a positive right to the labour of their bodies for seven years. This preposterous assumption of power would, nevertheless, have passed un noticed by the British nation, had the quondam slave drivers behaved with moderation and forbearance towards their unhappy victims. No interference was attempted by the public on behalf of the black population, until intel ligence reached this country that the planters were perpe trating scandalous acts of cruelty upon the negroes, under the pretext of carrying out the apprenticeship laws—acts paralleled in atrocity only by proven guilt in the worst days of s l aver y. Did the Legislature of that time put a stop to these horrible proceedings? An attempt to do so was made in the House of Commons, but it ultimately failed.

A LETTER TO THE RIGHT REV I THE LORD BISHOP OF LONDON, ON HIS LORDSHIP'S OPPOSITION TO THE IRO .POSED REFORMATION OF THE LAWS OF CLERICAL SUBSCRIPTION. BY HENRY ERSKINE HEAD, A.M , RECTOR OF FENI TON. DEVON, AND CHAPLAIN TO HIS MA JESTY THE KING OF HANOVER. RECTORY, FENITON, JUNE, 1840. MY LORD,—I hurab'y beg leave to address a few words to your Lordship on your Lordship's recent op position to the Protestant petitions, presented by his Grace the Archbishop of Dublin. Sentiments which closed a debate of such importance to the Reformation of the National Church, and which have met with no reply that I am aware of, require a closer examination than appears to have been bestowed upon them. An eminent person with whom 1 lately had the honour of holding some correspondence, observed to me that " the daainatory clauses of the Athanasian Creed are held in aversion by many pious Ci.ristians, and by many of the most zealous supporters of the National Church." This important, though ob‘ious, remark should be considered with reference to its bearing upon the cage of candidates for offices of trust in the Church of England, who are required to " declare their unfeigned assent and consent to all and everything (the danmatory clauses, &c. &c. included) in the book of Common Prayer." We may offer plausible arguments in favour of the retention of such declarations. But what says Scripture to such declarations " Cease to do evil, loose these bands of wickedness, undo these heavy burthens, and break these spiritual yokes."—lsaiah, chap. SS, v. 6. Every reasonable person will acknowledge that, with all its excellencies, which are not small or few, human imperfections are to be found in the Prayer-book. These imperfections are being held up every day more and more to public view, not only unanswerably, but unmercifully ; not in the spirit of reform, but of change ; not by those who deal in herbs, but by those who deal in iron ; not by physicians who would cure, but by combatants who would conquer ; not by Jhpyx, tucking up his tunic to assuage and soothe, but by Entellus, grasping his gauntlet to kill and wound. Modern improvements arc cherish kg the spirit of inquiry. The Post-office and the rail roads lend their aid. Pamphlets, full of strictures and criticisms on the faults of our rituals, are flying through the length and breadth of the land. Meetings are held. The Church canons, and other ecclesiastical laws, arc brought to the test of common sense. Opponents, not ignorant of polemies,' and exasperated by many an overt act of ecclesiastical exclusiveness, are assailing our vul nerable points—and the worst of their arguments is, that they are just. I mean as far as regards the laws of sub scription. Oa the other hard, the champions of the Church, for the most part, avert their eyes from those things which imperatively demand their attention. The Archbishop of Canterbury asserts that there is nothing in our rituals to give offence to any denomination of Christians ; or some such reckless assertions, which his Grace never appears to have retracted. Many of our preacher; are so busy in preaching the Establishment that they have no time to repair its breaches ; and many more surren der their minds and judgments to the Oxford tract writers, men as much opposed to the true gospel of Christ—the " faith which was once delivered to the saints"—as the idolators in Ezekiel worshipping their idols, and turning their backs upon the temple of the Lord. What is to be feared for the Church of England is, not that gold should depart from her coffers, hut that the leanness of Popery should enter into her soul ; and that the alarms which menace her from without should stimulate the concentration of mendacity, my Lord, which ferments within. The conventional significations of the term " Protes tantism," is —adherence to the 1311 c alone ; that of " Popery"—adherence to tradition. According to this interpretaiian of the term, the Church of England seems to he rapidly receding from the former, and ad vancing towards the latter. The most feasible mode of checking this retrograde course, and carrying out the principles of Protestantism ,which are interwoven in constitution, (for, in spite of her friends, she is a Protestant Church,) will be, I do not say radicaily to correct the errors in rur rituals, &c., for that, owing to its extreme difficulty, is perhaps rather to be wished for than attempted,—but to neu tralize them by modifying such anti-Protestant and stringent declarations as that which is found in Charles the Second's Act of Parliament, on the prin ciple of " fas est et ab hoste doceri." For the power of such declarations in giving the human mind a bias to wards the most erroneous conclusions, though it may escape our observation, my Lord, does not escape the observation of our opponents. It fares ill with the clergyman who speaks of the weak parts of the Establishment, with a view to their emendation. He may point to the black rock of apos tucy to which the Church (like the ship in the Arabian talc) is drawn every day nearer—in vain. He is sure to be censured, to say the least, as one that steps out of his sphere. So, when the ship's carpentcr reported to his commander, before it was too late, that the Royal George v4as sinking, he was haughtily repulsed. as me that had presumed to dictate to his superior; his advice was derided„ and the gallant ship sank beneath the waves. Such censures, however, are not confined to the in ferior ministers of the Church. Two of her Prelates, the Archbishop of Dublin and the Bishop of Norwich, have called the attention of the public to the question of modifying the terms of clerical subscription —a mea sure which strikes at the root of much that is evil in the Establishment, and promises to promote its enlargement, reformation, and stability. But have they—has the Bishop of Norwich especially, received the thanks of his brethren for his patriotic exertion in this righteous cause ? Yes—such thanks as the generous men of Judah awarded their deliverer, when they gave him bound into the hand of the enemy at Raruoth Lehi. The Bishop of Norwich had asserted (and the asser tion is corroborated by the first ordination vow in the Ordination Service), that the Church was founded on liberty of conscience and private judgment. This Protestant principle, however, is strenuously opposed by one, loaded by the nation with honours and emoluments, in consideration of his maintaining this very principle—l mean the Bishop of London. " Now he (the Bishop of London—l quote from a Newspaper tivourable to your lordship and unfavour able to the Bishop of Norwich) had always supposed that Church was founded on truth—( Hear, hear) — that it was the depository of the truth, and that it was its duty to interpret those truths, &c. &c It had also to teach authorized expositions through ca techisers and certain forms of faith." It is clear that your Lordship means to deny, not withstanding the authority of the first ordination vow, the principle of liberty of conscience. What your Lordship means to assert is not quite so clear, by rea son of the equivocal niture of the term " Church." Your Lordship's meaning, however, esidently amounts to ti's, that the laity and the clergy are not autho rised to make their own inferences from Scripture ; but that intend of the doctrines of Scripture, they must, in some instances, receive those doctrines which the dig nitaries of the Church find it convenient, my Lord, to inculcate or fear to deny. Your Bishop Lordship makes some also h.id admitted. But y our L or d s hi p observes, If ProtestantisM be advoc a t e d on t h ese P op i s h principles, the Papists, m y L or d, w ill soon have the rbei:sitrtyo.fnitnhee Ar.ielese, n iv t. hich tof Norwich a*aument, egtim just observations on th e i nexpe di ency of altering the " A sub scription to its Articles (the Thirty-nine) was not re quired from all its members ; it was merely demanded from the ministers as a security against error. He hoped, therefore, they should never:ost! the use of the Articles—(Hear, hear)," &c., &c. Here is an insinuation that "losing the use of the I Articles" would result from a modification of the teens of subscription. This is a conclusion which by no means follows. Many Prelates have advocated the latter who have been as able to appreciate -he former as your Lordship. The Articles indeed were "in use" hefose that. unholy innovation of stringent subscription was superadded. Our anc e s tors saw what your Lord ship s eems s l ow t o perce i ve , nam ely that it i s one t hi ng. to recommend th ese A r ti c les to the candid a t e f or holy orders, and another thing to say to him—" You shall subscribe to them or you shall nut be ordained." Now, is there anything in the passage wide:. your Lord ship quotes from the writings of Burke, which in the least degree militates against this modification of sub scription tests? Moreover, it is reported of your Lore.- ship's speech— " He knew that an immense and preponderating ma ; eracons should t a k e pl ace Amongst the laity, as well as jority .of the c l erg y an d l a ity desired that no e . the clergy, th ere wes a strong indisposition to med dle with the formul ar i es o f the Church. This is a disputable point. The question ought not thus to be h us h e d u p. Tne just demands of British subjects are not to be withheld from them, null° certa miue, because they are unpleasing to a Bishop or a party. Will this vast " majority"of the laity sufFer the cler g y men o f t h e i r parishes to say to them, " I have subscribed to such and such doctrines, there fore you must believe them ?" Such is the logic to which your Lordship's opinions will inevitably lead. fie thing should be fairly put to the vote before it can be confidently assumed that the nation at large depreca..es the correction of what is erroneous in our lorrnularie.,, c!ergy and Adm itting , however, the assumption in its full force, it Proves nothi ng at a ll .

And these are to be" contended for"-- Jude 3 —more than secular grandeur, my Lord, or con. ven . ience. doubt " a stron g indisposition" to have the i r f avour i te theories `'medd led ,ith." B u t t h e Apostle Pau l s h ar ply rebuked th ese The Galat..os manifested no theories, without pausing to consider whether he was in the " majority" or minority. The immediate ques- tion, however, is not the alteration of the formularies, ' but the alteration of the terms of sul.scription. More () ye r•--- " Ile (the Bishop of London) thought that if they svere to.permit a clergyman, declaring that he subscribed the articles ex animo, to take them in any sense he pleased, they might as well permit him not to subscribe them at all." Now the fact is, the clergy do " take them in any sense they please." The great giant who was shut up in a little box—Milton's angels, which were all of a sudden transferred into pigmies —suffered less in their corporeal dimensions than the Articles suffer in their grammatical sense. They are made to be, contrary to their own nature, so wonderfully and notoriously elastic es to suit the creed of every clergyman in the Queen's dominions, from the stumbling Pelagian to the supra lapsarian Calvinist. Yet your Lordship would have us believe that ri gorous subscription is a " security against error." This yoar Lordship will not find easy to prove. It :night be easier to show that the abolition of rigorous subscription would be a " security" against endless prevarications and perveesons of plain language. Agaicst what " error" has rigorous subscription ever proved a " security '?" Which of U 3 has ever been hindered by rigorous subscription from blundering in many points of doctrine To preserve the Articles reverectly in the Prayer Bock is one thing ; to exert r . gorous subscription to there is another. These two things are perfectly distinct. If any of us have been benefited by the Articles this has been owing, not to our having rivetted them upon ourselves with oaths and adjurations, but to the blessed influence of the Eternal Spirit,who has gradually developed to our minds and hearts the inestimable sys tem of doctrine they contain. The truth is, that that principle of private judgment which your Lordship so strenuously deprecates is em braced and acted upon every day, even by those who disavow it. On the principle of private judgment and liberty of conscience, every clergyman gives h:'s own interpretation of the Articles. So obviously necessary is this principle in the ministerial office, that it will shay and exert itself maugre all subscriptions, and everything that can be said or done against it. Hence, it is to be inferred, that that which is acted upon by general con nivance, should be openly recognised as an established principle. This is just and reasonable. He who is tit to be admitted to the sacred office is fit to trusted to pi each his own interpretations. And, if he seek the teaching of the Eternal Spirit, these interpretations will become more and more disen tangled from error, and the individual will " wax riper in his ministry." Ignorance in many points of Christian doctrine is to be expected in young ministers, pardoned in aged ones, and tolerated in all. We raise the stand ard of spiritual attainment too high if we insist oe a very great degree of light in candidates for holy orders. Willingness to learn might supply its place. Your Lordship observes, "No man was forced to eat the bread of the Church.—(Hear, hear.) A man ought to be so well versed in what he should have to do .. . that a hen the time of ordination came, he ought to subscribe the Articles with a clear conscience or not at all.— ( Hear, hear.) This was an abundant censure of the doctrine, that the sense of the obligation of subscription of the Articles ought to be expanded.—(Hear, hear.) It was now the question whether they ought to alter the Articles of subscription or not." I should like to kilow bow many of the clergy have " clear consciences" in this respect. If your Lordship means to predicate what your Lordship calls " clear consciences" of all the subscribers to the Articles—if your Lordship means to intimate that the majority cf the clergy who subscribe actually understand at the time of subscription the sys tem of doctrine from the 9th to the 17th Articles inclu sive, your Lordship exhibits to the public the picture of a state of things utterly inconsistent with reality and truth. But if your Lordship means simply that the clergy ought to subscribe with a clear conscience—that is, with a competent understanding and approbation of the scope of the doctrine to which they assent, yr or Lordship advocates a system of pernicious rigour which was neither required nor practised in the primitive Church. I allude, for instance, to the account given of Apollos in the Acts of the Apostles. He had sub scribed to no Articles, yet this omission did not hinder him from learning " the way of God more perfectly," and thus, from correcting, at a period sobse pent to the cononencewent of his ministry, those blunders into which he had fallen, from his imperfect knowledge of Scripture. Ti-)is is a clear example that where " strong meat,' cannot be administered by reason of the ignorance of the preacher, " milk" may be profitably received at his hands. The existence of national churches depends in a great tnea sure on their admission of this principle. The doctrine to be preached to the public isr;;.L . 7. - iirr.tAoc,(Eph. iii.lo.) or multiform. The pastures which the Gospel affords are various, and suited to different degrees of spit.tual light. In these pastures, the candidates for the minis teria office, when once launched forth by ordination, should be le!t to range at liberty, not coerced by the hedges and ditches of an over-stringent system of subscription, but committed with affectionate prayers to the teaching and guidance of the great Shepherd of Israel, who, though we mistrust him, never fails to feed his flock. Illiberal suspicions, vexatious difficulties, contradic tory doctrines, and insuperable tests, answer no good purpose, and never were the invention of the Apostles, who were generous and confiding, communicative and tolerant, and accustomed to give the right hand of fellow ; ship to all who loved the Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity, and who desired to preach his word. This has been perceived by some ofour Bishops. What says Bishop Burnet ? " The requiring subscription to the Thirty-nine Ar ticles is a great imposition I think it a better way to let such matters continue to be still the standard of doctrine, with some few corrections The greater part subscribe without ever examining them ; and others do it, though they can hardly satisfy their con sciences about some things in them." " Our worship is the perfeetest would bring in the much greater part of the Dissenters to the communion of the Church ; and are in them selves desirable, though there were not a Dissenter in the nation. Ido wish, and I will pray for it as long as I live, that some regard may be had to these scruples," &c. And what says Bishop Stillingflect ? Whether a solemn using the Liturgy, and appro bation and promise of the use of it, may not be sufficient, instead of the late form of declaring their assent and consent, which bath been so much scrupled by our bre furen ? These . . . . I suppose, may be granted without detriment or dishonour to our Church." It is much to be prayed for, my Lord, that some of that wisdom which appears in tie remarks of these ght Reverend Prelates should be poured from on High upon the Heads of the Church. In conclusion, I would remark that a more righteous adjustment of the law of subscription (the only point I would at present contend for) needs not afford any precedent for any alteration in our formularies, far less in our Articles. That on the supposition that " all and ever ) thing in the book of Common Prayer'' is strictly accordance with Scripture, the exactio❑ of the de clarotion s of " unfeigned assent and consent" to it is wrong, nevertheless, as there are many truths which are not at times perceived, even by true Christians ; and Scripture is always tender, and Christ himself is tender of forcing upon his 'disciples doctrines which are beyond their strength. " I have many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now."—John That, on the contrary. and more probable supposition, that th..re ma!, be found something erroneous in the Pryer Book (which is a human compilation, and in some respects the production of discordant minds). The impropriety of the declaration is still mere obvious. That iu either ca,e it is the duty of the Church of Erl - hind, come what may, to take the necessary steps for effr , cting this reformation, and to leave the results with God. When th, proposal for a new translation of the Bible was maiie in the time of his Majesty King James the First it gave great. displeasure to the Bishop of Lon don (your Lorddlip's predecessor). It happened, how ever, to please the King. And it is owing to the interposition of Royal au thority, overruling prelatical opposition, that we are indebted, under Divine Providence, to the inestimable translation which we have at present. The evil which presses now is very considerable. I have no hesitation, my Lord, in asserting, that it is ba , ely possible for any having a clear view of the leading principles of Scripture, to remain in the Church of England as a Minister; and quite impossible for such a man to enter it as a Minister, oAing to the itrinwency of clerical subscription. This is the ftict, though, of oaurse, it will be denied with the utuaos.t viru lence by those who are interested, my Lord, in conceal ing the truth. The Queen in Council (I speak from good authority) ought to be addressed on the present occasion—ad dressed with all reverential loyalty and submission—by a humble petition, praying that a general promise of con!Ormi,y to the Liturgy, &c. be substituted for the slringent declarations now is use. And may God preserve her Most Gracious Majesty. I have the honour to be, my Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient bumble Servant, HENRY ERSKINE HEAD. Thi; It.w, the Lord Bishop of London.

THE BRICKMAKER AND THE ARCHDEACON. A correspondent of ours, recently in a provincial town, heard an Archdeacon's charge, and, what edified him still more, a Churchwarden's remarks upon it. He soon learned that the Churchwarden was a brickmaker, and evh'ently a man of observation. " Our Arch deacon," said the brickmaker, "is a clever man ; he sees his way clearly and firmly; but then, after all, it is but his own way, and of those about him. We hear now a-days of people going a-head ; but our Archdeacon is not one of them, that's plain ;he is rather going a-tail ; I think he'll soon find himself behind; and yet he is for guiding all, as though he and his friends were first, or ought to be, and would be. Now, though lam a Church warden—because I cannot very well help it, without being fined, and displeasing those I would not—l am more of a Dissenter than or a Churchman. As for the churches. I had rather they were all down together, than that they should be upheld as they arc in all their corruption. Why, the-e is a parson near me who has thousands for doing nothing, and there is another who can hardly live for po verty and hard work. Another parson in my neighboer hood, lately preaching a club sermon, was describing a Christian. He said—' No Chartist can be a Christian (though he plainly did not at all know what a Chartist really meant). No Christian can object to tithes ;no Christian can object to Church-rates; no Christian can object to the taxes, whatever they may be, or however burdensome;' and so he went on, not above half ue quainted, I thought, with what he said. Such seems to me the case with our Archdeacon. He thinks, if the Church is not everything, it ought to be everything, and should be. As for Dissent,' he says, ' Dissent is nothing, or worse than nothing ;* and one of the arguments he used te-day, for the building of more churches, was, that there was so many Dissenters, and meeting-houses, and schools, covering the face of the country.' I thought it downright nonsense ; for though I see folly enough amongst Dissenters, it is folly that costs us nothing unless we like ; whereas the folly of the Church forces money out of our pockets whether we will or no 1 If a man puts on a fool's-cap himself, he does it for his own humour ; but that is very different to having it clapped upon his head by another, and by force. Our Arch deacon is for having the fool's-cap clapped on us all by force. He wculd have all the clergy petition the Government for more Church, whether or not. The Dis. seaters arc not at all to be regarded, except so far es to wring money out of their pockets, and to imprison them, as poor Thorogood, if they refuse. Now Ido declare that though I am a Churchwarden I would rather give all I am worth to pull down all the churches, than one sixpence to keep them up upon such principles." Such, according to our correspondent's statement, upon which we can depend, was part of the Churchwarden's remarks, which we deem not a little ominous. Mark the man, not in appearance above the more reputable of those overlooking the working grades. The superior orders had not lost all their Ltd upon him. He submitted to be Churchwarden partly not to displease them ; yet had they evidently no hold upon his principles. He was ready to pull down, under a given case, though at the loss of all he was worth. This speaks volumes. The enemies of the Church arc those in appear ance nearest her, and most respectable. Men of principle, who abhor her iniquities, and are most to be feared by her. We have no doubt there are numbers such, though appa rently in her communion, sho, under circumstances de scribed by the brickmaker, would lend a willing bend to raze her very foundations; and yet those circumstances are, of all others, such as Archdeacons are most eager to promote. We think the brickmaker right. The whole Church is behind the times. THE ARCHIMEDES SCREW PRO- PELLER STEAM SHIP. This important experimental vessel, of which we have recently heard so much, and which may yet be the fore runner of a revolution in steam navigation, made her appearance at the Bromielaw on the forenoon of Sa turday last. left Liverpool on Thursday morning, and steamed to Douglas, in the Isle of Man, a distance of at least 70 miles, in seven hours and a half, beating the Mona's Isle steam-packet full two hours in this passage. The Archimedes left Douglas on Friday morning at a quarter past nine A. M. and without loosing a sail, by the assistance of the screw alone, reached Greenock at half-past twelve the same night, though during thv latter part of the voyage, from Ailsa Craig, the wind blew a strong breeze directly a-head. The distance from Douglas to Greenock is not less than 135 miles, which was performed as already stated, in fifteen hours and a quarter. At a quarter-past nine on Saturday morning, the Archimedes left Greenock for Glasgow, which she reached at 11 a.m. As the vessel passed the various ship-yards and steamers in the Clyde, her appearance was greeted by the satn,-,, round of welcome cheering, which may be said tc have echoed from port to port in her circumnavigation of the kingdom. Mr. Smith, the in -ventor of this application of the Archimedean screw, has attended the vessel in all her trips, and he is accom panied by Captain Chappell, R.N., who superintends the trials, and has been sent down specially by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to report thercoa. Of the courtesy of these gentlemen. and their readiness to grant every information regarding the workings of the steam-screw, we can speak in high terms. The appearance of the Archimedes in the Clyde is an event of no ordinary importance, considering that it was upon these waters that the genius of Henry Bell, as applied to steam navigation, first developed itself, and that ever since our river has worthily maintained its sta tion es the nursing mother of the art. Steam naviga tion, however, despite its mighty results, is yet only in its infancy ; and in this quarter the trial trips of the Archimedes will be regarded with much interest. Indeed, it is scarcely a proper term to speak of trial trips, for Captain Chappell states that the experiment has peen neither more nor less than u triumphal voyage from one. end of the kingdom to the other. We believe we are justified in stating, that in all her trips the Archimedes has come up to the expectations of Mr. Smith and those connected with hint. As she was not built for speed, she has been beaten in a few in stances in calm weather by first-rate steam-boats ; but she must be a crack v e s se l no t w i t h s t an ding, and her fine points are seen to best advantage in a stiff gale and an angry sea. As relates to the Clyde in particular, Capt. Chappell states that the importance of the Arehimedcan method of propulsion is manifest. Frst, the getting rid of pad dle boxes leaves more space for vessels passing each other ; second, there being no commotion of paddle wheels, boats can go alongside without danger of swamp ing, even when the vessel is going at full speed ; third, the Screw Propeller, throwing off water from every part of the periphery, is found to stir up the sediment from the bottom of the rivers and canals to a considerable depth below the keel, so that, should the principle be adopted, every oteamer would be acting as a scouring machine in keeping the deposit agitated, by which means it would be prevented from accumulating. The advantages of the Screw over paddle wheels in ocean steamers are of greater consequence ; as the propelling instrument not being affected, or lessened in power, by the leaning over of the ship when under sail, admits of the same taunt masts and heavy rip, as in ships wholly propelled by calvass—consequently, in leading winds, which are upon 20 points of the compass out of 32 points, the fires might be extinguished, all the fuel saved, and the vessel be navigated as a sailing vessel in all re spects. These are a few of the chief points arising out of a first consideration of the Screw principle, to which we shall probably advert more fully hereafter. Oo Tuesday (to-morrow), she will proceed into the Gairloeb, and land her passengers at Greenock. She afterwards pursues her course northward, and will run through the Caledonian Canal on her way to Aber deen, Leith, Hull, Amsterdam, and Antwerp. The Archimedes haring been built, not for but to show how effectually steaming and sailing q!).1- hies can be combined in the same vessel, an rtle:n4 with river canoe steamers, constructed expressly for sheen s has been, and will be, strictly avoided. An iron canoe boat, however, is now building in London, to test the power of the screw against paddle, wheels, when em ployed to obtain great river speed ; and this vessel when finished will be immediately placed in c ,mpetition with the fattest paddle-wheel boats in the kingdom. A German gentleman, sent by a company at Ham burg for the . express purpose, joined the Arcliimedm yesterday, and will proceed in her upon her cruise round to Leith, to witness the action of the Screw upon an extended scale. Should the Brilaiihia sail from the Broomiclaw at the same time with the Archimedes, sbe will form a beautiful point for witnessing the evolutions of the latter. It is one r€-markable feature in the "ItTigimeles that she answers the helm with amazing rapidity, and can thread her way throughout an intricate channel or amidst a crowd of shipping, with the ease and safety which belongs to a thing of life.—Glasgoui Herald. The place where Courvoisier deposited the plate which has been so opportunely produced, and which has, be yond doubt, operated greatly towards his conviction, has not yet been accurately stated. It was at the " Hotel du Port de Dieppe," kept by Messts. Piolaine and Vincent, No. 2, Leicester-p!ace, Leicester-square, one door out of the square on the right hand. It was formerly Sturmer's German Theatre, and it it also known as having been the " Sans Souci" of From the inquiries w 9 have made, we understand it was coon alter Cuurvoisier's arrival in England that he was engaged as waiter by M. Piolaine, in whose service, however, he remained only about a month, when he left, having obtained a situation in the establishment of Lady Julia Lockwood, from whose service he went into that of Mr. Fector, M. P. Mrs. Piolaine states that she cannot positively speak to the precise day on which the parcel containing, the spoons and forks, &c., seas deposited in her care by Courvoisier, except that it was on a Sunday evening ; but there is every reason to believe it must have been on the evening of the Sunday preceding the perpe tration of the dreadful deed, which conclusion is streng , hened by the fact, that the brown parer in which the parcel was wrapped has been identified by Mr. Molteno, the printseller of Pail-mail, as being, to the best of his judgment, the wrapper in which he forwarded to Lord William Huss:ll a framed print of the " Vision of Ezekiel," on the 27th of April last, nine days before the murder and the discovery that the articles were misting.
