Nothing is more uncertain than the life of a single indivi dual, and the sense of this uncertainty has given rise to the establishment of Life Assurance Companies, their object being to equalize vicissitudes and to render the pecuniary relations of mankind independent of individual casualty. The Managers have availed themselves of the numerous au thentic sources of information applicable to the subject, and caused an original and extensive set of Tables to be constructed, which, for all the ordinary cases of Assurance, present the Lowest Rate of Premium that can be offered, without compro mising the safety of the Institution. The Premiums for each particular case may be ascertained at the Office. ADVANTAGES presented by this COMPANY. The Board of Management is composed of Shareholders and Policy-holders, tie majority being assurers to the extent of 2,0001. each with the inatituf on. The Trustees to be nominated by the Metropolitan Board, and by the Local Committees, the majority of the latter in each case to be the holders of policies for the term of Life for 1,000/. and upwards. The Funds of the Company to be vested in the Trustees, none of whom are to be Shareholders, but all of whom may be Policy-holders, who are to have a power of intervention in the affairs of the Institution for the protection of Assurers. No severance to be made of the assurance fund, nor any dividend paid upon the capital stock, until a Report, approved by the Auditors, shall have been made of the debts, credits, and precise state of the Institution, showing the estimated pro fit, a cautionary reserve to protect against casualties, and the sum applicable to meet the outstanding engagements to the Trustees, who are ♦ested with a veto against th.. payment of an excessive dividend. No claim upon a policy to be resisted, except upon the autho rity of a special report and recommendation of the Committee of the district within which tile policy was effected, showing a fraud upon the Company, or some well-grounded objection to an unjust demand. All claims payable within one month after proof of death. Ten per cent. on the sum assured may be received imme diately after satisfactory proof of death shall be afforded, when ever the circumstances of the claimant shall render such an accommodation essential. No proof of birth required after a claim shall arise, as the age of the assured will be at all times admitted in the policy. Fraud only to vitiate a policy, and all disputes to be settled by arbitration, at the option of the assured. Policies assigned, or duly deposited, as equitable securities with creditors, not vitiate by suicide, death by duelling, or the hands of justice. Policies forfeited by non-payment of premiums renewable upon satisfactory certificates of health, and the payment of the premium in arrear with interest thereon, with a small fine to be fixed by the Board. Females and others to whom it maybeinconvenient to appear before the Board will be attended by the Medical Officers of the establishment. A Committee of the Managers and the Medical Officers attend daily for the dispatch of business at the office, where every practicable facility is given for the completion of proposals for Assurance, and where every requisite information relative to the establishment may be obtained. C. F. KIRKMAN, Esq., Resident Manager. A reserve of Shares has been made for appropriation in the country, and applications for them, and for the office of Agent to the Institution in the different towns of the kingdom, are requested, addressed to the Resident Manager, at the Office of the Company.

Binary practitioner. To enter into the dtails of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that7there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this Vi ork be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relati - in and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practict a so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultin.z.tely the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless tko evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to ' amide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the rea: cause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will hgre be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if nut relinquished.

DitEADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE HULL AND SELBY RAILWAY. -- INQUEST ON THE BODIES. On SAturday morning the Coroner for the County arrived by the train at the place 'where the catastrophe occurred. The three bodies of the persons killed on the spot had been removed into the jurisdiction of Howden, to a public-house, called the Railway Tavern, at the Bowden station, about half a mile from the place of the accident. The jury then proceeded to the extremity of Brind, where alter remaining about an hour, three shells con taining the corpses, arrived on a truck, drawn by a horse, when the lids were removed, and the Coroner and Jury took a view of the bodies. They presented a most awful and terrific spee'acle, every fe aure being dis figured or obliterated either by wounds or blood ; and the bones, especially of the female, almost all crushed into atoms. The lids were again screwed down, and the truck was drawn back to the inn. The bodies were each dressed as when taken up from the fatal spot, and their tattered garments testified bow awful must have been the crash which, in the twinkling of an eye, plunged them into eternity. On returning to the house witnesses were called to identify the bodies. The first called was Henry Ennis Ainsworth, who deposed that he lived in Worship street, Hull, that he had seen and knew the body of Mr. Nicholas Veltman. He was a general merchant. Saw him the day before yesterday at hik own house in Hull. Had just seen all the three bodies, and could posi tively swear to that of Mr. Velttnan. John Holmes, auctioneer, Leeds, ,sworn.—Had seen the three bodies, and had some lithe difficulty in re cognising his cousin's ( Mr. Stead's) body, but if he saw the papers, &c., taken from the body, be might be able. ( A messenger was here sent to the station for them, and in the interim the Coroner called for any one who could identify the body of the female to come for ward, but no one answered.) Charles Farr, living in Howden, was sworn—Had seen all the bodies, but did not know them. Had taken particulars of the female. She was a short person, and appeared about thirty-five years of age. She lay out two feet from the north side rail, and was quite dead when he found her. He got females to search her person, and found 6s. 6d. in the pocket, a silver thimble, some trinkets, a penknife, and a white pocket-handkerchief. She wore a dress of good qua lity, but not a costly one, and looked like a person in a state of mediocrity. He should have taken her for a housekeeper, or something of that kind. Her gown was brown, and the shawl was nearly the same colour. From the pocket of Mr. Veltman was taken 181. 11 s. Gd. in gold and silver, from another a gold watch, and four bills of exchange, all of which were given to the police at the station. From Mr. Stead's person he took a gold watch and silver guard, which were very much crushed, and the glass broken ; a toothpick and memorandum book, which were given to the same po lice, No. 1, on the station. Jonathan Dunn, police No. 21, deposed that he was on duty at half-past eight yesterday morning, 500 yards west from the place of the accident. He was on the north side, and all was then right. When the train had passed he went to the south side, and saw some thing hanging over in the first carriage next to the ten der, called a truck. He noticed this to a man named Blanchard, who was close by repairing the road. He had no sooner done so than they heard a great crash, and they ran to the spot, First, saw two people under the waggo n , w h om t h ey got ou t a live, o ne w i t h hi s l eg broken ; next th e y saw t h e wo man lyi ng on the line quite dead ; also two gentlemen between the rails with an overturned carriage upon them ; seven carriages were all passenger carriages. When they had got the bodies out be saw a large iron casting laid cross-corners on the north and south line, over which the wheels of the car riages had gone. It was the corner over the north rail of the north line, and was quite sufficient to overturn the carriages. By a Juror—Not one of the three bodies either breathed or stirred. The carriage on which the casting was, was not thrown over, but all the rest were. He saw a rope over the casting, but no chain. The rope seemed severed and cut into pieces by the friction of the metal. It was half-an-inch in diameter. The articles found on each of the deceased parties were here produced, sealed up, when Mr. Holmes was recalled, and identified the hand writing of Thomas Stead, io his memorandum-book, &c. The brown silk purse, containing 3/. I Is. Gd. could not be identified, but was supposed to belong to Mr. Stead. The property of Mr. Veltman was here handed over to his nephew, Mr. Kuhling, of Hull; and that of Mr. Stead to Mr. Holmes. The CORONER inquired if the Jury were satisfied that the two bodies were those of Stead and Veltman ; and, being answered in the affirmative, be made out warrants for their removal and interment. [The rope was here produced which had been used to fasten the casting on the truck ; it was evidently nearly worn in two by friction in several places, and had been cut by the casting.] A Juryman asked if the weight of the iron had been ascertained ?—A gentleman replied about three tons. Examination continued—Neither the engine nor the tender was thrown off the road, nor the truck upon which this casting was laid. They were all on the road, as was also the truck on which the casting was laid. Seven carriages next to the truck were all thrown off the rails, and crushed to pieces. All were overturned. All the seven were laid upon the road, under which the two bodies were laid. I did not notice many persons upon the road. The carriage train was only coming at its usual speed. They my idea, from twenty to twen ty-four miles an hour. to werileytr,avellipngh,illaicpcso, according —When you say that the ear was on the rails, do you r m i a e g a e n containing the r tlt e casting roadlt was on the rails, until hold in my hand is about two inches in circumference. we took it off. The rope I Richard Hesketh—l live at Selby, and am an en gine driver on the Hull and Selby railway. Yesterday morning, about seven minutes after eight o'clock, I started from Selby with the train, I managing the engine. Everything was right at Selby. I got off the engine and examined the coupling, w hi c h i s t h e c h a i n th a t at taches the first carriage to the tender. This carriage was the truck upon which the metal was placed. I cannot say whether the casting was either fastened or tied to the truck by chain or rope, or whether it was not. I did not make that observation. The casting was laid fair and level on the truck. It projected a little over each side, as it was longer than the truck, and over reached about an inch and a half on each side. It did not reach more on one side than the other. All was right until we got near to the Howden station, at least I saw nothing that alarmed me until the time the acci dent occurred. I was about half a mile on this side of the Howden station fa , l w l the fm h r e o n the a i i n n e gave a jump. I before the engine perceived nothing jumped. I had been looking forward. en looked ba c k e ngine king f o rward. The engin e , after the jerk, began t o g o faster. t and saw that the e n g ine, and tender, and one truck, we re separated from the rest of the train, and t hat I had left the passengers' carrages behind. The engine was not off the line at all, but the two bind wheels of the tender were off. All four wheels of the trnck were off the line. Neither engine, tender, or truck were over-turned. As soon as I could stop the engine got off and went to the passenger carriages. 1 tender n r e dme r the ere e f n ro g m ine. 6 0 Theto lo ohied yards wheels s T toted w were thrown off, in my opinion, in consequence having stopped the engine so suddenly. According t y o my idea, as near as I c an speak, .I was goi ng a t t h e rate of 23 to 25 miles an hour. This was about our u sua l speed. It is customary to let off our speed when ap proaching the station , but we had not got to the spot where we usually do s o. This was not a dangerous rate to travel at, provided the road had been clear ; it is slower than that at which passenger trains generally travel. I have been em p loyed upwards of seven y ears as an engine-driver ; first, on the i Bo.ton, Leigh Junc tion, then on the Liverpool and Manchester—after wards, in Belgium; for Brussels, and Antwerp, and now upon the Hull and Selby.. I . Th e Jury expressed them selves perfectly satisfied with this witness's conduct.] William Greaves, whose face was severely c ut, was n ext examined. He said --I reside at Leeds. lam a guard in the employ ! Jf the Leeds and Selby Rail way Company. I was in charge of . the train that left Leeds at seven o'clock on Friday morning. Wh en we ar rived at Selby, the engine era s attached t o t h e Selby and York train. The carriagesf r om Leeds, whi c h I h a d accom panied, were put the last on the train. Before we started for Selby, I went from one end of the t ra i n t o the other, and ascerta in ed that all the " couplings 7, were safe. I noticed that a truck follo we d, an d was attached to the tender, between it and th e passenger train. There were s i x carriages from Y or k an d S e lb y , and five from Leed s, and 000waggon with passengers' l ug gage, making altogether eighteen. Everything ap pearea to me, as far as I could see, to be saf e an d r i g h t . I observed nothing calculated to excite any alarm, or apprehension of danger. having ironn that it would be safer to put trucks, . or castings upon them, behind the passeng,er:carriages ; for if anything fell from them, they v ! ou.d in that case do no harm to the passengers. It is c onsidered conducive to the safety of those who may be passengers to place the pas segers' carriages a t a distance from the engine. It is, n therefore, usual to place the goods between the engine and the passengers' earli ages, as in safer thecident hap pening to the engines it w . ould be for passengers that the passengers' carriages should be placed last. In this case, were the engine to get off the line, the car riages at the greatest distance from the engine would be the most secure. I have seen this occur, and it is the cause from which accidents are most to be apprehended on railways. Before we started from Sol'iy I did not observe whether the casting was fastened to the truck by any ropes. This casting bad come from Leeds, but not by the train which I arrived by. The CORONER asked how the casting had come from Leeds to Selby? One of the Company's servants answered that it came by the goods' train. Mr. Blarke, in the Company's employ, stated that the speed of the carriages having been slackened, they might have gone over without being overturned. Examination continued—We were travelling, at the time the accident occurred, at our usual speed. The inquest was then adjourned till nine o'clock on Tuesday morning, at Loftsome-bridge inn. The table of the machines, which was the occasion of the accident, now lies at the side of the road, and is a ponderous article, weighing upwards of three tons and a half. In falling on the south line, from which it re bounded under the cariages, it has penetrated the earth, and actually cut in two a stout sleeper. About one o'clock a hearse arrived from Hull, ac companied by a post-chaise, containing a relative of Mr. Veltman, and at two the unfortunate gentleman's mortal remains were removed for interment at Hull. What renders this awful catastrophe still more la mentable, is the heart-rending bereavement created in the young family of Mr. Veltman. His amiable wife was awaiting his return in the station-house at Hull, when, instead of her eyes being gladdened by his arri val, she was destined to hear the appaling intelligence of the tragic event. She is left with three young chil dren, and is now enciente. Mr. Veltman was only 36 years of age, was a native of Germany, and has been in an extensive business as a general merchant in this country about-15 years. The only clue as yet found calculated to lead to the identity of the woman is the following mark on her chemise—" E. Lee, No. 3." SWINDLING-CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC. An account appeared in the London papers a short time since, of a " gentleman,' accompanied by a " lady," having hired a valuable horse and gig of Mr. Mellett, of Egham, under the pretence that he was only going to Hounslow, and that he would be back in two or three hours. The parties were traced the next day, by Mr. Mellctt, to the New Inn, at Bedfont-gate, where it appeared they had had an excellent luncheon without paying for it, and that the "lady" had borrowed a silk cloak of Mrs. Retthew, the landlady, under the pre tence that they would return to dinner at four o'clock, having ordered lamp chops and peas to be ready at that hour. Nothing further was heard of their movements, or of the horse, chaise, harness, or cloak, until within the last day or two, when Mr. Mellett, after driving over a great part of Surrey and Middlesex, at last got scent of the party, and traced them to Twickenham. At that place he found his chaise in the possession of Mr. Smith, a respectable coach maker of that town, with whom it had been left by the swindler, to be " thoroughly repaired and newly paint ed." The fellow, however, diddled Mr. Smith out of a much better chaise, which be borrowed for a fort night, while his awn chaise was undergoing the repairs. He represented himself as Captain Shaw, of Hampton Court, and stated that be had bad six weeks' leave of absence. Mr. Smith, not exactly liking the appearance of his customer, dispatched a person to Hampton Court, to make the necessary inquiries, where he found that a Captain Shaw had certainly just had leave of absence for the time he had named. The coachmaker, thus deceived (for the fellow must have had some knowledge of the respectable gentleman he personated) lent him his chaise, and has not seen it since. During the short period that the messenger was gone to Hampton to make inqu iries, Mr. Smith asked the swindler (who was not aware of this) to walk into the dravring-room and take a glass of wine, for the purpose of beguiling away the time. The moment the soi disant Capt. Shaw entered the roo m be cast his eyes upon some old portraits, and exclaimed, with great apparent warmth of feeling," Why bless me, Mr. Smith, those are the very same old family portraits 1 have been anxiously looking for ever since my poor father, rest his soul, died in 1830. Pray, where did you get them ?" " I bought them at a sale, some years ago," replied the coachmaker. " Aye, that's very likely," replied the other. " I dare say they have been hawked about from sale to sale ever since the dear old man died. If you've no objection to sell them, fix your price, and I should be most happy, my dear Sir, to buy them." " I don't set much value on them," said Mr. Smith, " but I should not like to take less than a guinea each for them." " A guinea each ! my dear Sir," said the victimiser ; " I'll give it with pleasure—put them into the chaise." Into the sm w h e h re as going nots o seen on, in a few ay thechaise the five portraits were put, and off drove d s s in , ce and . sharper the swindler, promising to return, to see how the re pears to his m chaise r. it at the five same time with the guineas for " the family portraits." After leaving Twickenham, Mr. Mellett traced him to Richmond, where he found the horse he had hired of him at EBham, at the livery-stables of Mr. Wayland ' at Cumberland-yard, of' whom he had hired another horse, under the pretence that his own was unwell, and that he would return the next day. Mr. Weyland has not since seen either " Captain Shaw" or his horse, which the harness the knave " borrowed" of Mr. Mellett exactly fitted. Upon further inquiries being instituted, it was disco vered that ho had got one pound advanced upon the cloak (his "lady" bad borrowed of Mrs. Retthew)at the George Inn at Twickenham, and that he had offered to dispose of the " family portraits" as undoubtedly Van dyke's and Sir Godfrey Kneller's, to a party at the Black Horse, at Richmond, for two guineas. The sale, however, was not effected, but there is no doubt that, long before this, they are safely deposited in the store of one of hi: " uncles." On the day before he hired the horse and chaise at Egham he was at Wind. sor, where he sold a fine Norwegian puppy to an inn keeper (who had not the most remote idea of the cha racter of " Captain Shaw") under the pretence that " it was a great bother to him, and he wanted to get rid of it." There is very little doubt that this is another of his " borrowings" or unpaid for purchases. THE SABBATH• TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sut,—ln the debate of the 14th inst. (The Sun re port) on Mr. Hume's motion for opening the British Museum and National Gallery to the public on Sundays after divine service, at such hours as the houses of the licensed victuallers, or sellers of beer, and gin-shops, are now legally open, Sir R. Inglis and Mr. Goulburn as sumed to themselves a high religious superiority above the proposer and supporters of the motion : " systema tic desecration of the Sabbath—commencement of a system by which the Lord's-day should be treated as a common one—by which, as far as the a musements of the people aro concerned, there should be no differ ence between the Sunday and the Nonday—dang,er ous step of sanctioning, any species of amusement on the Sabbath —of recognising Sunday as a day of amusement—of violating the Sabbath by epel;ng places of amusement —thence other and worse innova tions—thence a revolution fatal to the morals and reli gion of the people "—such are some of the expressions, whereby these two eminent organs of religion, that is, of the religion of the Church, or what claims to be the Church of England, declared their conscientious aver sion and opposition to the motion, upon the ground and principle of the amusement of the people being a dese cration of the Sabbath. Now, what says the Lord and Founder of the Sabbath what commands he concerning his own institution, and the observance of it ? " Remember, that thou keep holy the Sabbath day ;" to keep a day holy, is without a doubt, to devote it to its appointed use—whether the days of labour to their labour, or of rest to its rest ; " six days shalt thou labour, and do all that thou hest to do ; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God ; in it thou shalt do no manner of work, thou and thy son, and thy daughter, thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, thy cattle, and the stranger that is within thy gates :" he forbids labour on that day—nothing more, nothing else ; he does not forbid play ; rather, by forbidding labour he would seem to permit, to sanction, play ; I had almost said, and why should I not say, that he actually invites and encourages to it ? Yes : unless there be found elsewhere some modification of the commandment, or some definition of the term, to the effect that in certain passages the word labour is to be taken as meaning also play—otherwise I am free to confess the persuasion which I feel, that both the gambols of the liberated labouring cattle, and the pastimes of the liberated labouring people, were con templated by God as parts, and pleasing parts of the appropriate celebration and consecration of that da - . which he ordained to be peculiarly his own—to be observed in a peculiar manner to his honour and glory. He proceeds to give the reason of the institution : " For in six days tise Lord made heaven, and e arth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day ; wherefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it." And the probability is that be had so ar ranged the order of his creation for the e xpress purpose of providing, stamped with that high authority d a re st nd ora ex- ample, such a grateful recurrenc e of repose an tion for those who should be doomed to the lot of ser ‘itude and habitual toil. The repetition of the com mandment in Deuteronomy, c. v., s peaks more decidedly to this point, where the following emphatic addition is made to it—" That thy man-servant and thy maid servant may rest as well as thou and sympathy with LINCOLNSHIRE.

The Maronites, who with the Druses and the other tribes of Lebanon, are now exciting so much interest as the opponents of Ibrahim Pacha in Syria, are, ac cording to De la Martine, brave, and like all moun taineers, warriors by nature. They could muster, in 1832, at the bidding of the Emir Beschir, their head, to the number of 30 to 40,000 men, either to defend the passes of their mountains, or to rush upon the place, and make Damascus or the towns of Syria tremble. Their population is upwards of 200,000 and increas ing daily by their attention to agriculture, which has covered the sides of Lebanon with terraces of mulberry, fig, olive, and plum trees, almost up to the highest crags. Their villages exceed two hundred, each having its well-built monastery, occupied by about 100 monks, who are, besides, all laborious pea sants, raising silk, corn, &c., and are models of piety and industry. Though rigid Catholics, they have ex torted from the Pope permission for the clergy to marry, and no where are this body of men so pure, so venerable, and so truly pious, so that crime is almost unknown throughout the country. In short, De la Martine observes, that should he ever be obliged to ex patriate himself, he should make choice of one " of the peaceful villages of these Maronites, at the foot or on the descent of Lebanon, in the bosom of a simple, re ligious, and benevolent population, under the palm and orange-trees of one of the gardens of their mountains, within view of the sea. . " I may deceive myself (says he), but I imagine that great destinies may be reserved for the Maronite people—a virgin nation, primitive in :its morals, religion, and courage ; possessed of the tra ditional virtue of the Patriarchs, of property, a por tion of liberty, and much patriotism ; and who by similarity of religion and other relations of faith and commerce, are every day more and more impregnated with western civilisation." . . . . " Should a man of talent spring up among them, capable of estimating the future and disposed to ally himself with European powers, he would have no difficialty in re-enacting the wonders of Mehemet Ali, Pacha of Egypt, and would leave behind him the veritable gem of an Arabian em pire."7-Pilgrinzage to the Holy 155, 162. 39, ALBEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY, AND 76, KING WILLIAM-STREET, BANK OF ENGLAND -- DEAFNESS AND DEFECTIVE VISION.—A greater proof of the value of the Messrs. S. and B. Solomon's Invisible Operative Voice Conductor and newly-invented Spectacle Lenses, cannot be adduced, than the circumstance of the many thousands of individuals who have obtained the greatest benefit and instant relief, and the constant immense de mand there is for them, and the patronage they have and daily continue to receive. The Messrs. S. and B. Solo mons disclairs all connection with persons of the same name, and the sale of amber spectacles ; the pernicious use of amber spectacles being now well known to the public, and the vendor being aware of it, he has therefore altered their name, by leaving out the word " Amber," and calling them " Patent Spectacles." Dr. Andrew Ure, Esq., M. D., F. R. S., &c., states amber is most powerfully electrical by friction, very hot, to such an ex tent as to explode into fragments. The workmen, too, are subject to a nervous tremor in their wrists, arms, &c , they encounter great danger by handling such dreadfully-ex cited electrics. Amber is of such a soft and sticky na ture, that it is apt to take fire ; and when exposed to warmth, it swells, bubbles up, and will burn away with flame. This statement is further confirmed by Sir D. Brewster and Pliny, and also by Parks and Hearns on chemistry. The pernicious and destructive use of such a msterial for spectacles to imperfect vision may be ascer tained at any respectable optician's in London.

Rest—including in the term refreshment, without which there is no rest ; rest and refreshment after toil, and preparatory to the renewal of toil ; rest and re freshment to body, and mind, and heart, and soul, suit able to the nature, and station, and age, and sex, of those partaking of it—only avoiding vice, which at all times, and upon all occasions, is alike objectionable and damnable—this is the virtue, and this is the grace, of the commaedment concerning the Sabbath ; and this is a principal part of the honour and glory which the good Lord and God challenges to Himself on that His own delightful day ; and woe—woe to the wretch —heartless as he must be certainly, not to say impious —(to be heartless is to be impious)—who denies it to him, or (for it is the same thing) who denies to the la bouring people that grateful and useful recreation to which they are intitled, and of which the fourth com mandment is their charter ; woe be to him who, under the pretext of preventing profanation, profanes himself most odiously and cruelly the sacred day—who does so, by withholding the poor from their desire, and their need, and their right—their right coeval with and planned for them before the foundation of the world— who does so, by condemning the guiltless, which to do argues a deep guilty stain in the mind that is prone to such envy and calumny—and who does so, by demon strating a total ignorance of, and utter insensibility to, that principle and sentiment of the Almighty Spirit and truth and loving-kindness, whereby he has declared that it is not sacrifice, but mercy which he requires, and that there is no other offering, however costly, or however holy, which, in its stead, he will accept from men In a late communication (Chronicle of July 18) I had occasion to allude to the " mistery of iniquity" spoken of by St. Paul (2d Thess. 2), which I am very much disposed to interpret as indicating a cer.ain consummate scheme of diabolical guile and dexterity, whereby Satan has contrived to avail himself of the Gospel as a choice instrument for the propagation of his own religion (which in fact is nothing, and need be nothing in the world, but the Gospel without the grace of God—the form of faith, without the power and faith ful works thereof) ; and has so breathed his own spirit into the exterior figure and letter of the Gospel, as to make its doctrines to be, or answer the purpose of be ing, his doctrines—its ordinances his ordinances—its ministers his ministers, and by means of such craft, and such teaching and preaching, has effected the produc tion upon the earth of a character of wickedness—a " man of sin" indeed—in whom, under the name and profession of a Christian, and with a most imposing, though perfectly unchristian, ostentation of being so, and an abundance of eager zeal for one religious, or anti-religious, watchword or another—in whom every motive acts, and every passion works, which the true— the sincere and simple—the single-minded and single hearted Christian—the lover of his God, and of his brother also—the man of grace in contra-distinction to this man of sin—which such an one would shrink from, and with his whole soul abhor. Now, Sir, the opinions which prevail respecting the Sabbath, and which are generally received as scriptural, appear to me to furnish a striking illustration of the manner in which this " mystery of iniquity" has wrought to the effect of making the Word of God seem to speak a language very different from what it really does, and in consequence lead to results the very re verse of what it is legitimately calculated to pro duce. Cessation from toil—respiration from fatigae —relaxation from restraint—liberty, case, enjovment— this is the letter, and this is the spirit of God's enact ment regarding the Sabbath : in some way, however— by some mysterious means—some sleight of cunning craftiness—all this goodness and kindness of his has been intercepted and prevented ; his word forbidding labour has been strangely, and with an assumption of extra ordinary solemnity and piety, expounded as forbidding also that recreation after labour, which its main object is to bestow ; the hilarity, and merriment, and sportiveness, which, with gratitude to the author of the boon, and within the limit of temperance, con stitute, I do not hesitate to assert, the proper and acceptable celebration and consecration of the day 1 —these have been made out to be, and awfully denounced, and penally suppressed, as being, its desecration and profanation ; and upon the hearts of the industrious people yearning for relief—and that relief with forethought provided for them, and by a special act confirmed to them, by their heavenly Father— nevertheless, in the name of that very gracious Father himself, have they been deprived of it—sacrilegiously robbed of it—and in its stead, and in the same gracious name withal, upon their poor worn and galled hearts has been imposed a burthen of irksomeness, heavier far than their customary tasks, and from which they find no resource—no escape left open to them, except amongst the horrid haunts, and the stimulating and soul-destroying gratifications of vice. Aye—here it is : here is the wisdom of the serpent, and here, alas, the triumph of his mortal sting 7 no snare that he ever laid has, I believe, captured so vast a prey as this : by this at once he throws his net over all the youthful, and all the laborious of the community, and takes them with the persuasion that the entertain ment and refreshment which they seek, and which their natures require, is to be had with him alone, whilst with God is nothing but severe condemnation of the same. The child is made to feel himself a transgressor, or as if he were one, through his game of harmless play, which his heavenly Father is pleased the while to see him engaged in, and in which his angel perhaps is playing with him ; he cannot resist the inclination nevertheless, neither is there any reason that he should : Sunday by Sunday the temptation returns ; the ban is repeated ; the face of God, represented to be black with frowns, whilst in reality beaming with gentle ness and encouragement, is fled from ; and a sense of the sweetness of evil (that being represented to be evil which is not so) takes possession of the breast ; the heart becomes habitually hardened to the voice of con science, and to the voice of religion so injuriously belied ; thence indulgence upon indulgence—vice—crime—the gaol—the gallows—and, with the victim's last gasp of forfeited breath, his whole melancholy history leading to that fatal pass attributed to his early violation of the Sabbath (violated it was indeed, but not by him, poor victim, who accuses himself, and is comparatively blame less)—and thus is another impetus given to that dam nable delusion, whereby superstition and bigotry, and fanaticism, and hypocrisy, and inordinate folly, and con ceit, and ignorance, and impudence, are occupied every Sabbath day, and every other day too, in severing thousands, and tens of thousands, and millions, from the hold and control of reason, and religion, and Leith, and grace, and precipitating them into the power of the Devil. Such, -'..,.. are my views of the Sabbath, which, how ever they may in general, I believe vary from those of the religious worl d to be derived from no other source than that of the Scri p ieres. The views of Messrs, Inglis and Goulburn I corda, myself to consider as nothing better, and nothing else, than an exhalation from the infernal pit, sent up thence on purpose to s to pr d ca im d a o n v d er tu a r s n w siu it it h H a e n a d v e to n o distil spiritual and moral po ison into the vital element of, f the healthful f li a g i l r it le o e f e da o f ., human life.

MAURICE JAMES, B.D. D o ver, July 25, 1840. Rector of Pembridge. y. On the arrival of the Fame steamer from Rams gate, at London-bridge-wharf, on Sunday evening, a most hear t-rending scene took plac e . A respecta bl y- d resse d w oman, with an infant in he: arms, and two fire children by her side, was waiting the arrival of the vessel for her husband, a master shoemaker, lately residing in Spital fields, and who had gone to Ramsgate ten days previous for the benefit of his health. All the p ass enger; having left, and he not corning on s h ore , s h e went on board to make inquiries of the captain. The melancholy part of the case remains to be told, namely, that a letter had b een brought by the cr ew f rom the inspector of the police at Ramsgate, addres se d t o th e City po li ce , that a mari.had been drowned whil e b a thi ng th ere on aturday morng; , and upon a desc r ipti on being g i ve n. it turned out to b the , h , husband of the poor creature. She left the wharf e inm state bordering on madness. • But the habitual readers, who contrive to procure a chair and a book, are, in general, happier than either employes or librarians, alChough the saA readers have the ofterkr neither stockings in their boots, nor shirts be neath their cravats. They present features of infinite variety ; but all resemble one another by their punc tuality at the opening of the doors, by their constant attendance, and their tenacious perseverance in cling- Ing to their seat and and book until the garcon de rifle solemnly proclaims that it is three o'clock. In gene ral the habitue rises in the morning, saying to himself, " At ten I shall be at the library," and he gods to bed at night contented with bis day, and promising to em ploy the morrow in the same way. The habitue has always a candid soul, simple man ners, and limited tastes ; be cultivates lottnes and sue_ flowers on his acrid window ; he educates canary birds in a cap ; he possesses a yellow cat or a black dog ; ho is a bachelor and a renkicr ; he lodges in remote suburb, so as to turn his walks to the library to the benefit- of his health, for he knows how wholesome exercise is to his age and oen- stitution ;he is, oe,ides, proof against - all the incle mency of the seasons, he who remains nailed to a table without fire, and without breathing into bis fingers when Chevalier's thermometer falls to ten de- grees below zero—he who crosses the Place Louis XV. or Chu7-up de Mars bareheaded, which the dog days' sun gives us at Paris a foretaste of the torrid sons. The habitue of the public libraries never feels too hot nor too cold ; he dreds not more wind than rain, hail than fog ; but be never separates from his eternal um brella, except at the library doer. He bows tb the concierge and to the concierge's wife, child, and dog ; he takes a pinch a snuff with the floor-rubber, and utters to him a " God bless you." The floor-rubber therefore esteems him, and inquires about his health with amenity. When a wedding or a burial has prevented die habi tue from repairing to his post, when the habitue has not made his appearance for three days together, a tear may be given to his memory, for if he be not dead, he will soon be. Several are mentioned who have crept in a dying condi:ion to the library, and expi.red in it, sit ting on the very same chair they had occupied for 20 years, and closing their eyes upon the same book they had worn out by turning it over. The habitues, however, differ in mien and drees ; they do not all take snuff ; they have not all a handkerchief in their pocl‘et : their character depends also upon their old education. One will salute his neighbours, speak to and smile at them ; another keeps within himself, and leaves you to doubt whether he be deaf or dumb. But, whatever they be, they never prove unfaithful to the library. There are concentrated their present and fu ture affections. Were they offered the honou aof a justice de pair, or of a Minister's conciergerie, and were they to accept such irksome greatness, they would soon exclaim, " Let us be taken back to the library." Behold this one with red ears and a florid complexion, although not of Tartuffe's family ; he weara, both sum mer and winter, a heavy great coat of coarse canilet a la proprietare, whose pockets his hands never forsake. He slowly reaches the table most distant from the door of the conservator's bureau, and from the passage of those who go and come. He fetches himself a large folio volume deposited by himself in the corner where he daily tiads it ; he opens at random the soft folio in the way of a cushion, bends his head over it, and quietly falls asleep, as Adana under the shade of the tree of knowledge. He will wake when three o'clock strikes, and perhaps the contact of the learned volume may communicate to him in his dreams the disease of know ledge. Near hiM is an old man wide awake, and dry and yellow as parchment, but sprightly, and almost jolly ; he rubs his hands, crosses and uncrosses his legs, shakes and swings his bald head, starts at times, bends over the book he is meditating upon in such a man ner that his hooked nose seems to be fishing the words out with a line. Surely that merry personage has discovered in his blessed volume the art of grow ing young again, or of living as long as a parrot ? Not. so ; he is reading over for the hundredth time the " Ad ventures of Telemachus," and is enraptured with the wisdom of Mentor. But look at the other old fellow, graver, more se vere, more solemn, who has heaped up before him ten volumes covered with marks and counter-marks, and who is extracting its text or spirit with conscientious minuteness. He is not reading, if he have ever read, Fenelon's prose poem ; but, for half a century past, he has been in quest of the philosopher's stone ; he is sift ing. compiling, and commenting the writings of the al chymists ; he is retracing their steps which are rather obliterated by the neglect and contempt of the present generation ; he is never disheartened in his searches, because he has faith ; and, the moment he hits upon the secret of making gold, he fully intends to buy a hat, boots, and a pair of trousers, for his present troll ; sers, boots, and hat could not extract three francs from the crucible of any pawnbroker. He looks sideways at his: neighbours, and conceals the titles of the books he consults, lest the fruits of half a century of patient labour may be stolen from hint. His neighbour, however, by no means thinks of the numberless manifestations of alebymy ; be is deeply plunged in his reading, and completely abstracted from all about him ; the noise does not reach his organs of hearing ; he is no longer in the library : be is in the seventh heaven with S:vedenborg's angels, or penetrating into the bowels of the earth with the invisible spirits and Becker's gnomes. He is, perhaps, the only man in France who gives himself up to the devil ; he knows all the dreams of Wier, Lavater, Delrio, and Bodin ; be learns by art the invocations and conjurations ; he knows the power of the magic circles and triangles ; he wor ships the demonologists, and, after so long exploring their dusty books, wonders that he has not yet perceived the tail or horns of Satan. If you say " Good day" to hits, he will reply, " Abracadabra ;" when three O'clock strikes he fancies he hears the Sabbath signal, and when be takes up his cane at the door he is tempted to wield it as the brooms which were wont to carry witches and necromancers through space. The King's library is to him the sanctuary of the occult sciences. - Farther on, a less fantastic reader hums a military tune, and drums the table with his fingers ; the ardour of battle glitters in his grey eyes, and the blood rises to his gashed brow ; he is a brave fellow of the ex-Guawl, who is perusing the " Victoires et Conquetes" in Ge neral Beauvais's compilation ; he chafes with delight at Marengo ; jumps on his chair at Austerlitz ; twists his mustachios at Wagram ; and weeps and sobs atW aterloo. " What's the matter with you ?" asks his neighbour on on the right. "La garde incurt, et ne to rend pas!'" replies with a groan Cambronne's soldier. Every reader has his favourite, or rather his habitual book ; he who feeds upon the . " Dietionnaire dee Sciences Medicales" is a ma/ark imaginaire ; lie who so plentifully drinks at the sources of the French language in the " Dictionnaire de l'Academie" is a ci-devaut cur rier. big fellow, classical unto death, has come to study divine Racine ; that emaciated scare-crow has already consumed three copies of the " Cuisiaier-royal ;" that tall pale creature is withering on the Ilioniteur ; that polypus with a human face does himself justice by handling only books with pictures ; that species of beggar, of hideous aspect, has as irres.st able penchant for the " Lettres a Emilie" and " L'Almanach des Muses ;" there is a competition to obtain the five codes, the Bible, the " Diet;onnaire Philosophique" of Voltaire, " L'Emile," and the " Contrat Social" of Rousseau, Anquetil's " History of France," and the " Magazin Pittoresque." • And it is for such intellectual cravings that every year, the Chamber of Deputies prove themselves almost generous! and our most honourable men of learning, chained to the librarian's hulks, are at the roe.rey of the first scamp who wants a book before he hatilearnt to read ! Who will restore to us the King's library such as it was in the times of the Dupuys and Capreronniers ? Instead of between five and six hundred halzilues, only ten or twelve laborious readers were to be seen in it ; but the latter were the Godefroys, Duchesnes, Bonau l ys, and Sainte-Palayes.—The Bibliophile Jacob. On Monday afternoon, between three and four o'clock, a messenger reached this city, bringing intelli gence that a fire was raging on the premises of Mr. Wm. Ireland, of the Church-farm, Himbleton, and requiring the immediate dospatch of the engines. Tboae of the Phcenix and Birmingham offices were accordingly sent off to the scene of destruction with most commendable alacrity, but the flames bad nearly exhausted themselves before their arrival, having destroyed the greater part of a rick of hay of between thirty and forty tons, a barn, and a rick of straw. The engines, however, were serviceable in extin gtubting the burning embers, and preventing further mill eller. The accident arose from the over-beating of the hay-rick. We do not understard that any portion of the property was insured. — Worcester Herded.
