CONTEIIIPOIL4IIY PRESS. ARCHBISHOP WHATLEY'S LOGIC. NEW EDITION. ( From the Dublin Evening Mail.) The admirers of correct reasoning will be gratified to learn that a learned gentleman has in preparation a new edition of the above excellent work; we do not mean the distinguished author himself, whose impor tant avocations—especially as he has undertaken the task of compiling an epitome of the Rosary of the Blessed Virgin, for the use of the national schools—no longer afford leisure for secular literature ' • but one even more distinguished as a rhetori c i a n, an d perhaps equally great as a philosopher —we mean Mr. O'Con nell, the member for Dublin. The principal improvement effected by the learned editor on the Aristotelian system, appears in the third figuFe of syllogisms, which has hitherto been very in adequately exemplified, but all the propositions belong ing to this figure are now, we think, through his laud able exertions, rendered consequential to the meanest capacity.

We are sure that it must have given our readers and the Christian public great joy to learn that the decided stand which has been made by the Presbytery of Edin burgh, and other ecclesiastical courts, has been suc cessful in putting an end to the Sabbath desecration which had begun upon the Dalkeith railway. All par ties, and especially the poor and working classes, are deeply indebted to them and to the influential. pro prietors who came so promptly forward for this protec tion against incipient, but what in all probability would ere long have proved wide-spread slavery and oppres sion. While the Sabbath is the day of God, and there fore property which no one is entitled to appropriate for any . purposes but those which He has authorised, it is eminently the birthright and privilege of the poor; and those are their greatest enemies, under whatever name of freedom they may attempt to disguise their tyranny, who would break down the barriers of that day, and rob them of its peace and cessation from labour. Once legalise the desecration of the Sabb a th, an d w h a t be gins with pleasure would soon terminate in toil. his gratifying, and we trust it will be useful to other com panies, to see how strong and warm is the religious feeling of the community after all that has been done to poison and debase it. The proprietors who passed the obnoxious resolution represented but twenty shares, and consisted only of five or six persons. Those who rescinded it represented nearly 140 shares, formed a large body, and passed their resolutions una nimously. If we have not been misinformed, dim was a sensible diminution in the gains of the com pany, not only in the number of persons, but in the amount of the merchandise conveyed on the week af ter the profanation of the Lord's-day bad begun. We know that a number of persons agreed together that they would travel no longer by that railway to any of its destinations, and that some of its best servants would have resigned had the outrage been continued. We hope that Christian men will feel it to be their ditty, and will be encouraged by this case, to use all the influence of their property, as well as of their ex ample, in protecting the sanctity of God's day where it is in any danger of violation, and that they will combine to apply a remedy where the evil exists Why should our Exchange be open to Sunday newspaper reading? Is it much better than Sunday railroad tra velling ? No one will wonder to be told that the Edinburgh Scotsman newspaper has signalised himself on the present occasion by his advocacy of the railroad desecration. Some papers have taken miserably low ground in defence of the Sabbath—such ground as would have sanctioned the profanation, if it had only happened to be agreeable to the feelings of the Scot tish people; but he has the unenviable distinction of being the patron and defender of Sabbath violation, under the pretence of regard for the poor. And yet this is eminently the paper of dissenting ministers and dissenting laymen. What will they say to this ? What can they say, but that the Scotsman is following out their own voluntary principles—that the state has no thing to do with religion—that the civil law has no business with the Sabbath—and that all men should therefore be left to trade and traffic, oppress each other, and amuse themselves on its sacred hours as they please, without let or hindrance. And Volun tarism is the friend, and the only friend, of religion! Pity the religion which is left to such a friend ! We need scarcely say, that the feeling in this quarter, and throughout the Church, in behalf of Sabbath protec tion, is so strong, that had the Presbytery of Edin burgh been obliged to go to the house of Lords with the railway company, they would have been cordially supported. THE LATE PARLIAMENTARY SESSION. (From the . 0 rt'or,l Herald.) A fragment of a paragraph in our last number af forded room enough for a recapitulation of the minis terial achievements of the ten months' session ; but if we are called upon for a list of the failures and defeats of her Majesty's advisers, we must decline the task, on the plea that the columns of a weekly journal cannot contain them without excluding all other matter, " so great"—to borrow Johnson's phrase in alluding to the worldly circumstances of his friend Goldsmith—" so great is the negative catalogue" of their services and successes. This necessity of silence on our part, and on the part of other weekly journals, is of less oonse (pence, because ministers and the country are sure to hear of the desertions and disasters in the loud voice of the disappointed " movement." .Already that voice is audible at Birmingham, Manchester, Aberdeen, and Edinburgh, and throughout the whole length and breadth of Ireland; and it. will be still higher and more angry before many weeks shall pass. Now, if Lord Melbourne and his colleagues were guilty of nothing worse than defeating the hopes of the revolutionist factions, they would merit our grati tude rather than our hatred and contempt; but when, as is notoriously the fact, they stand before the coun try guilty of having themselves, for lucre sake, in spired the hopes that they have disappointed, and ex cited the fierce passions which thee now vainly labour to repress—hatred ;i1(1 contempt are almost too mild feelings to entertain toward, tin authors of thissordid, two-fold treachery. In such a cacti, one can look with out compassion upon the victims of their own crime perishin in the fire that they have kindled for a wicked gain. Such seems to be the approaching doom of the Ca binet. Ministers have no longe r the Monarch to place between themselves and the indignation of their radi cal disciples and auxiliaries, as they did most traito rously place the late King. They can no longer shift upon the Home of Lords the responsibility for their defections and failures. They have not even asked the House of Lords to pass any of the favourite mea sures of the British radicals ; and the bill which is now put forward as a pretext for fanning into new rage the old flame of Irish rebellion, is a bill brought in by mi niiterc themselves—namely, the Irish Tithe Bill. This is the position in which Lord Melbourne and his col leagues stand with relation to the Radicals and Pa pists—they have broken faith with their allies, and nave no apology to ofie.r but treachery or weakness, or both. To expect, h owever , th a t th e R a di ca l s an d P a pi s t s will resent the injury in an honest and manly manner, by turni ng their. hacks' upfin " tile squeezable cabi net," would be to pay an unmerited compliment to these parties. The - Radicals are just as mean, as tricky, and is unprincipled, as the men in Downing street. Were the latter in any serious difficulty to morrow, their present accusers would fly to the rescue as promptly as they did in 1835, and as they did last summer, because the thing upon earth most dreaded by them is the possession of office by a firm, vigilant, and upright administration. Nevertheless, the parties are ruining each other beyond any chance of recovery. Their reciprocal abuse makes them both despicable and both odious in the judgment of thinking men; and thougllthere are slight deviations now and then, England \ is governed by thinking men upon the ave rage of years. It may be supposed, at first, that the belligerents will see this necessary effect of their war fare, and, therefore, put an end to it; but of such* consummation there is no possibility. The ruling principle of the men composing the parties is an in tenAe and profligate selfishness. This selfishness causes them to postpone the interests of the country to the interests of their united faction, and will cause the m em b ers of that faction to sacrifice its general interests, if necessary, to the interests of the respective sections to which these members may happen to belong. They will persevere vigorously in heaping dirt upon each other until the accession of a Conservative ministry shall awaken them to their dan ger ; then they will once more rush into union, bui then it will be too late. Meanwhile other circumstances are working to ac celerate the catastrophe. The increased naval power of France, and that ambition which is so often the at tendant upon augmented power Of every kind, are dis playing themselves in the war of Mexico and of Bue nos Ayres, and in the wider range of operations pro. jected in the district of Algiers. Accounts, also, have reached this country of the capture of a second British vessel by the Russian vessel in the Black Sea. The state of our war, for war it is, with Persia, or rather with Russia in Persia, is at best precarious. The country will demand stronger hands at the helm than those which have by their weakness run the ves sel of the state into these difficulties and dangers. That capricious intifference which too often induces wise, and honest men too, to regard the great strife of politics as a game in which they are no otherwise con cerned than as the spectators of a sport; will disap pear, as it always has disappeared, at the first unequi vocal manifestation of present danger, and the effect will be to dismiss the whig-radicals from office at once and for ever. PERSECUTION, POPERY, AND PETER DENS (From the Leinster Express.) A young girl, of excellent character and much intelli gence, who had been living as servant with an elderly widow, one of the Society of Friends, having had, for the last two years, many opportunities of reading the Bible, and receiv ing some light, began to entertain doubts as to the scriptu ral truth of the religion (the Roman Catholic) in which she bad been reared. Those doubts, she declares, were still further strengthened by the extraordinary and revoltingly indelicate questions put to her by the priest when at confes sion—questions which appeared to her as devoid of utility as of decency, and which she could not answer without the most painful reluctance. Her unwillingness to attend the confessional having been noticed by her parents, she candidly disclosed the cause, stated her reasons for not wishing to go, and alluded to the shameful and searching cross-examination which, as a female, she was subjected to by a priest, but ne vertheless a man. The poor deluded people, however, gave her to understand that she should reply to, without attempt ing to investigate the nature or object of her catechist's in terrogatories. But the girl continued to read, and new light continued to break upon her mind, until on the Sunday pre vious to the last she determined, with a courage which no thing but an ardent longing after truth could inspire, to go to the church and hear from the lips of a gospel and Protes tant minister, the " glad tidings" of what she so fervently sought. Without the knowledge, we believe, of her parents or Catholic neighbours, she went and returned; and pleased with the simple and soul-refreshing purity of the gospel faith as contrasted with the obscene ordeal to which she was subjected in the confessional, she resolved to go again.— Steady to this resolution, she was accordingly on Sunday last proceeding again to church, carrying with her a prayer book, a present from the Protestant clergyman, when she was suddenly set upon by her ig norant parents, who tore the prayer-book from her, reviled her as a " turn-coat," and, despitefully using her, ordered her back. The young wo man, notwithstanding, contrived to escape from them and the crowd which was collecting, and succeeded in reaching the church before they could intercept her. On returning from church she was not so fortunate : a great part of the Catholic congregation, after "receiving mass," proceeded towards the church, and on the girl making her appearance, commenced to hoot her, and yell in a most savage manner. Her brutal pursuers continued to annoy her in this manner—some of them, we believe, throwing dirt, and many of them display ing a strong disposition to lay hands upon her—until she reached her mistress's house. which she succeeded in enter ing, not without much danger and difficulty. But the Sabbath day's work did not close here. Disappointed at being de prived of their humane pastime —outrageous at her escape, and the interruption to the pleasure which they promised themselves in the prolonged torment of a " turn-coat," the crowd gathered about the house (a strait one inhabited by only two lone females) and in the most ferocious and violent manner demanded that the young woman should be delivered up to them, threatening, if their reasonable request should be refused, to tear down the house. Upon this, some of the respectable protestants of the town, knowing the unprotected state of the inmates, and fearing, from the infuriated state of the mob, that they would wreak their bigoted rage upon the young woman, proceeded to the place, and by steady and de termined conduct succeeded in preventing outrage, which otherwise seemed-inevitable. One of those protestants had had his clothes torn by the crowd for his humane interference. So bad and black a feeling, however, continued to be dis played by the Roman catholics against the young woman, and many threats having been also expressed, the Rev. Mr. Cuffe, protestant curate of the town—fearing to leave her in a house where she could not be protected, generously deter mined to take- her into his own service. For this purpose he he proceeded next day to the place where the young girl lived, and, having engaged her as his servant, was bringing her to his own residence, when her parents, attended by a large and furious mob again met her, and she having clung for security to Mr. Cuffe, attacked both, beat the girl and dragged her away from her master, who was shamefully abused, and had his spectacles broken while attempting to save her from their brutality. The magistrates having been presiding at the time at the petty sessions, Mr. Cuffe entered the court, and demanded protection for himself and his ser vant; but that protection the magistrates, owing, we will suppose, to an overhasty and erroneous view of the matter, (for their characters as gentlemen would not justify us in coming to more unworthy conclusion,) peremptorily refused, and ordered that the young woman should be given up to her parents. Mr. Cuffe, who deserves much credit for his christian zeal and courage, complains of a want of courtesy on the part of the justices. The young woman is now in the custody of her parents; and a more cruel course of persecu tion, insult, annoyance, and outrage, than she is suffering from those unnatural parents and bigoted neighbours, no poor creature has ever undergone. Every person who enters the house has unlimited license, and appears to think it me ritorious to strike her; while each act of insult or vi o l e nce i s followed by the brutal demand, " Ha, will You go to mass now?" ! Still, with a fortitude which is rarely to be found in the class to which she belongs, she declares she never will— that she will never kneel before a priest, nor submit to another repetition of the indelicate examination which she too often before endured in the confessional. SAM SLICK ON THE BRITISH COLONIES. " It is admitted on all bands now, by tories, wbigs, and radicals, that the time is not far distant when the provinces will be old enough for independence, and strong enough to demand it. lam also happy to say that there is every dispo sition to yield to their wishes whenever a majority shall con cur in applying for a separation. It is very questionable whether the expense of their protection is not greater than any advantage we derive from them. "That, said the Clockmaker, is what I call, now, good sound sense. I like to hear you talk that way, for it shows you participate in the enlightenment of the age. After all the expense you have been to in conquerin', clearin', settlin', fortifyin', governin', and p r ot ec tin' th ese co l on i es , from the time they were little miserable splindlin' seedlin's up to now, when they have grow'd to be considerable stiff and strong, and of some use, to give 'ens up, and encourage 'ens to ax for 'mancipation, is, I estimate, the part of wise men. Yes, I see you are wide awake. Let 'in look out the next mornin' arter they are free for a visit from us. If we don't put 'em throu' their tacin's its a pity. Tho' they are no good to you" they are , sorth a Jew's eye to us, and have 'em we will, by gum " You put me in mind of a British parliament-man that was travellmn' in the States once. I seed him in a steam-boat on the Ohio, r(a'most a grand river that, squire; if you were to put all the English rivers into one you couldn't make its ditto,) and we went the matter of seven hundred miles on it till it jived the Mississippi. As soon as we turned to go down that river, and stared, and scratched his head, like bewildered. Says he, this is very strange, very strange indeed, says he. What's strange? said I; but he went on without hearin'. It's the greatest curiosity, said he, I ever seed, a nateral phe nomenon, one of the wonders of the world; and he jumped right up and down like a ravin' distracted fool. Where is it ? said he. What the devil has become of it? If it's your wit, said I, you are alookin' for, it's gone a wool-gatherin' more nor half an hour ago. What on airth ails you, says I, to make you act so like Old Scratch that way? Do, for goodness sake, look here, Mr. Slick, said he. That immense river, the Ohio, that we have been sailin' upon so many days, where is it? "Where is it? said I. Why, it's run into the Mississippi here to be sure; where else should it be? or did ' you think it was like a snake that it curled its head under its own belly, and run back again ? But, said he, the Missis sippi arn't made one inch higher °cone inch wider by it; it don't swell it one mite or morsel ; it's marvellous, ain't it.— Well, gist afore that, we had been talking about the colonies; so, says 1, I can tell you a more marvellous thing than that by a long chalk. - "'There is Upper Canada and Lower Canada, and New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, and Cape Breton, and Prince Edward's Island, and Newfoundland—they all belong to the English. Well, said he, I know that as well as you do. Don't be so plaguy touch! said I, but bear me out. They all below ' , to the English, and there's no two w ay s a b ou t it ; it's the best part of America, too; better land and better climate than ourn, and free from yaller fevers, and agues, and nigger slaves, and hostile Indgians, and Lynchers, and alligators, and such like varmint, and all the trade and com merce of them colonies, and the supply of 'factured goods belong to the En g li s h t oo , an d yet I defy any livin' soul to say he can see that it swells their trade to be one inch wider, or one inch higher; it's gist a drop in the bucket. Well, that is strange, said he; but it only shows the magnitude of British commerce. Yes, says I, it does; it spews another thing too. What's that? said he. Why, says 1, that their commerce is a plaguy sight deeper than the shallerpated noodles that it belongs to. Do you, said I, jest take the lead line, and sound the river jist below where the Ohio comes into it, and you will find that, though it tante broader or higher, it's an everlasting sight deeper than it is above the jinin' place. It can't be otherwise in natur. " Now, turn the Ohio, and let it run down to Baltimore, and you'd find the Mississippi, mammoth as it is, a different guess river from what you now see it. It wouldn't overrun its banks no more, nor break the dykes at New Orleans, nor leave the great Cyprus swamps under water any longer. It would look pretty streaked in dry weather, I know. Jig so with the colony trade; though you can't see it in the ocean of English trade, yet it is there. Cut it off, and see the raft of ships you'd have to spare, and the thousandsof ships you'd have to spare, and the thousands of emigrants you'd have to emigrate to us! and see how white about the gills Glasgow, and Greenock, and Liv erpool, and Manchester, and Binning fiCirus,s an n chance if i t ttt sneeze eonevftz oven tehrent that st h ih a ae n p t roo w vo r e r t u rs l to d hr elao very er k re . ye wind ; t o l i n k , et comes; n tbelanowt, rig o h i ff tt don't, the leaves curl up, turn y a ll er , and tall off a fore their time.

The luxuriance is gone, and gone for ever." DR. HOOK'S SERMON, PREACHED BEFORE THE QUEEN, IN THE CHAPEL ROYAL, ON THE 17TH JUNE, 1838. " Hear the Church.—Matthew, xviii. This little sanctuary, in which we are now assembled, will always be regarded by the English churchman with feelings of pious sentiment and respect. Here, from time immemo rial, our sovereigns have worshipped and our bishops preach ed; and these walls were the first which heard the sound of our English liturgy. Here young Edward imbibed the prin ciples of divine truth from the lips of Ridley and Creamer; and here, in the reign of Elizabeth, her bishops, supported by her united firmness, wisdom, and piety, manfully upheld the principles of the English zeformatiou, maintaining the equi pose against the papist on the one -hand, and, on the other, against those ultra-protest ants who wereauxious to introduce the foreign system, and to revolutionize religion instead of reforming the church. Here, too, Charles, who died a mar tyr for the principles of the church—for the church of Eng land boasts the only royal martyr in the calendar—sought that strength from on high, which enabled bins to lay down his "grey' discrowned head" upon the- block with a blessed peace of mind, which a rebel nation; while depriving him of everything else, was unable to take away. Here, ever since, by faithful pastors, our British sovereigns have loyally, duti fully, and respectfully, but, at the same time, I hope with firmness and fearlessness, been reminded of that solemn ac count they will one day have to render to Him who is King of kings, and Lord of lords, and the Ruler of princes—here they have been admonished of the awful responsibility of high office, of the temptations by which they are surrounded, of the example they are bound to set, of their duty at the nurs ing fathers and nursing mothers of the church—and here those sovereigns, in the ordinances and sacraments of the gospel, have sought for that divine grace, of which they have stood in need as much as, yea, from their increased respon sibility, from their greater temptations and difficulties, if possible, more than the very meanest of their subjects. In such a place, then, it cannot be deemed improper if I briefly lay before you the claims, the character, and the pri vileges of the church. May God the Holy Spirit be with me while I speak, and with you while you hear; with me, that I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak: with you, that you may receive the word with pure affection; with me that I may not give, with you that you may nut take, offence. Now, at the very outset, I must state that I refer to the church, not as a mere national establishment of religion, but as the church, a religious community, intrinsically independ ent of the state; that is to say, I am about to treat of the church, not in its political, but simply and solely in its reli gious character. No one who reads the Bible can for one moment doubt that religion is, or ought to be, a national concern, so long as the Bible contains such awful denunciations- against national apostacy and national vice, and while, among the predicted blessings of Christianity, it was foretold as one, that kings should be the nursing fathers, and queens the nor sing mothers of the church. And to desire to belong to that religious so ciety. which happens to be established in our native land, is a sentiment patriotic, praiseworthy, and honourable. But there is a still further question to be asked; namely, whether the society of Christians established by the government, and in vested with certain emoluments and privileges, be a pure branch of that church which was instituted by our blessed Lord and his apostles? And if it be nut such, however will ing we might be to preserve the peace of society, by refusing to injure a national institution, we should, nevertheless, be amply justified, as religionists, in refusing to conform to it. If the mere tact that a religious society is established by the civil government, be sufficient to claim for it our adhesion, see what the consequence must be; we should be obliged, on such principles, to become presbyterians in Scotland and Holland, papists in Fiance and Italy ; nay, in some parts of the world, worshippers of the mosque, and votaries of Brahma ! whereas the consistent protestant could not, of course, con form to the established in Franc e o r It a ly, un til those church es have undergone a thorough reformation; the consistent English churchman cannot conform to the presbyterian esta blishment iu Scotland, but in that part of the island attends the services of the Scottish episcopal church, which, though at one time established, was, at the revolution in 1688, from political considerations, deprived of its endowments, which were then given to the community of presbyterians, which has there become the established religion. Bless God, then, we may, that the truechurch is established here in England, and that, while as patriots we would sup port its establishment for our country's good, we can also, as Christians, conscientiously conform it; yet it is not on the ground that it is established by the state, but on grounds much higher and holier than these, that in this sacred place we are to state its claims. So entirely independent is the church (as the church) of the state, that were all connexion between church and state at this very moment to cease, (though we may be sure the monarchy would be destroyed), the church, as the church, would continue precisely as she now is; that is to say, our bish o p s , th oug h deprived of temporal rank, would still exercise all those spiritual functions, which, conferred by higher than human authority, no human authority can take away; still to the vacant sees they would consecrate new bishops, still ordain the clergy, still confirm the baptized, still govern the church; our priests, assisted by the deacons, would still administer the sacraments and preach the gospel; our liturgy, even though we were driven to upper rooms of our towns, or to the very caves of the desert, would still be solemnised. We may be sure of this, for this very thing has happened in times past. When the United States of America were English colohies, the English church was there estab lished : at the revolution, the state was destroyed. Monarchy has there ceased to exist; but the church, though depressed for a time, remained uninjured : so that these—among the American republicans—under the superintendence of no fewer than sixteen bishops, you will find her sacraments and ordinances administered, and all her ritual and litdrgical services celebrated, with not less of piety, zeal, and solemnity than hear in England; there you may see the church, like an oasis in the desert, blessed by the dews of heaven, and shedding heavenly blessings astound her, in a land where, because no religion is established, if it were not for here, nothing but the extremes of infidelity or fanaticism would prevail. And so you may perceive what is meant, when we say, that we wish to speak of the church, not as an establishment, but as the church, a religious society, a particular society of Christians. We will commence with an indisputable fact. In this country there is at the present time a religious society, known by the name of the, church. The question is, when and by whom was this - society . instituted? - Now the lionian cat hulks or papists assert that it was in stituted and founded, like the generality of protestant sects, by. certain reformers in the 16th century, and thence they would deduce a strong argument against us. They would ask us, whether any man can take unto himself the office of the ministry, utiles he be sent by God; and if we are scriptural Christians, if we take the; Bible for our guide, if we act on that sound protestant principal, with the fifth chapter to the IlebrewS open before us, we must answer, no. Then they proceed to ask how can you prove that your ministers are called of God to the office. And if their assertion were true that our church was founded at the reformation, we could. give them no answer at all. • But at the period of the reformation, when Cranmer and Ridley flourished, there was a church existing and established in England, and as archbishop of that church, Cranmer; our celebrated reformer, was consecrated. That church had ex isted,, as all parties admit, from the first planting of Christi anity in England. But Archbishop Cranmer found, that in his time, it had become in certain. respects corrupted; that the Bishop of Rome, fur example, bad usurped over it an au thority and influence which he did not possess by right; that many practices prevailed, some of them contrary to scrip ture, and some of them much abused to superstition ; such as" the worshipping-of saints and images, and the use of the li turgy in a language not understood by the people,—while opi nions were prevalent (such as those relating to transubstan tiation,) decidedly erroneous, which the church did not . pre test against, but, on the contrary, rather seemed to sanction. Now when once these errors were pointed out and proved to be unscriptural, our divines would have been guilty of heresy had they pertinaciously adhered to them. Before the refor mation, those who adhered to them were not guilty of heresy, for they held the doctrines which, (ever since the reforma tion,) we have renounced, front a mere error of fact. They supposed them to be revealed doctrines, and therefore they in humble faith received them; we, on the contrary, have ascer tained that these doctrines were not revealed, and therefore, influenced by the same faith, we reject them; so that it was by one and the self-same principle, that both before and since the reformation, the true members of the church of England have been actuated. They said, and we say precisely the same, whatsoever is revealed that we will not question but be lieve. But as to the fact, whether this or that doctrine was revealed, they were less cautious than we are now; we who perhaps err on the very side of caution. But to return to the archbishop and the prelates who aided him in the work of reformation. They discovered that all the errors which they detected in their church were innova tions gradually and imperceptibly introduced, and not belong ing originally or essentially to the church of England; that, even in the seventh century, five councils were held in Eng-, land, when the doctrines denounced by the reformers were unknown. What, then, did the archbishop and his associ ates determine to do? They determined, as they had ariun doubted right so to do, not to overthrow the old church and establish a protestant sect in its place, but merely to reform, to correct abuses in the existing chur ch. And, aided by the civil powers, this they did, by asserting, first. their own inde pendence as bishops against the usurpe authority of the pope,. wbo had no more authority of right in England than the Bishop of Canterbury had in Rome; by discontinuing practices which led evidently to unscriptural superstitions; by protesting against certain prevalent erroneous doctrines; by translating the scriptures and the ancient ritual and liturgy, which latter (the ritual and liturgy we still retain) besides translating, they re-arranged. But, though they did this, they still re mained the same bishops and divines of the same church. An attempt was made to revive the old superstitions in Queen Mary's reign, but, by the pions firmness of Elizabeth, her bishops were enabled to complete the work so happily com menced in the reigns of her father and broth e r. _ Now, from this - historical statement, you see the absurdity of which the papists are guilty when they accuse us of having deserted or dissented from the old church, and of having reared a new church of human origin —the absurdity of their speaking of theirs as the old church and the old religion. About two years ago, this very chapel in which we are now assembled was repaired, certain disfigurements removed, certain improvements made: would it not be absurd, on that account, to contend that it is no longer the Chapel Royal? Would it not be still more absurd if some one were to. tittild a new chapel in the neig,hbourbood, imitating closely what this chapel was five years ago, and carefully piling,up all the dust and rubbish which was at that time swept from hence, and then pronounce that, not this; to be the ancient chapel of the sovereigns of England ? The absurdity is at once ap parent; but this is precisely what ,has . been done by-the Ro man Catholic or Papist. The present church of England is the old Catholic church of England, reformed, in the reigns of Henry, Edward, and Elizabeth, of certain superstitious errors; it is the same church which came down from our Sri and Saxon ancestors, and, as such, it possesses its original endowments, which were never, as ignorant persons foolishly suppose, taken from one church and given to another. The church remained the same after it was reformed as it was be- fore, just as a man remains the same man after he has washed his face as he was before; just as Naaman, the leper, re mained the same Naaman after he was cured of his leprosy as he was before. And so regularly, so canonically, was the reformation conducted, that even those who thought no re formation requisite, still remained for a time in the church; they did not consider what was done (though they did not prove of it) sufficient to drive them into a schism. It was not till the twelfth yeai of Queen Elizabeth's reign that, listening to the exhortations of the Pope, they quitted the church and formed a new sect, from which the present Romish dissenters have descended, and iu which were retained ail those errors in opinion and practice, all that rubbish which the Catholic chin:ch. in England had at the reformation corrected and swept away. Let it alwas be remembered that the English Romanists separated from us, not we from them : we did not go out from them, but they from us. The slightest acquaint ance with that neglected b ranc h o f l earn i ng, ecc l es i ast i ca l history, will convince us of this. They lett the church of England, to which they originally belonged, because they thought their bishops had reformed too much, had become too Protestant; just as Protestant dissenters left us, because they thought we had not reformed enough; that we were, as they still style us, too Popish. The one party l e ft u s bec a us e they wanted no reform, the other because, instead of a re formation, they wished a religious revolution—the reformers oft he church of Eniland carefully preserved a middle path. The church of England, then, that church to which we belong, is the old Catholic church which was originally planted in this country. But the founders of the church Of England—remember I do not mean the reformers—for no thing but ignorance, the most gross, will s p ea k o f t h em as our founders; ignorance, which concedes to th e P ap i sts an argument of the very greatest importance—the founders, or planters of the church of England, both Britons and Saxons, were bishops ordained by other bishops, precisely as is the case at the present time; the catalogue has been care f u ll y and provid en ti a ll y preserve d f rom t h e beginning. The bishops who ordained them had been ordained by other bishops, and so back to the apostles, who ordained the first bishops, being themselves ordained by Christ. This is what is called the doctrine of the apostolical succession; which is a doctrine of the apostolical succession; which is a doctrine of consider able importance. For unless the ministers of the gospel are sent by Christ, what right have they to act in his name ? If we were passing through a foreign land, we might be perfectly competent to act as ambassador for the Queen of England; but would any - foreign potentate receive us as such, unless we could produce our credentials? Many a lawyer may be as well qualified to perform the duties of the Lord Chancellor as the Chancellor himself, but is he able to act as Chancellor ? No, certainly; pot unless he has first received a commission from his sovereign. And so with respect to religion. What right has a man to take upon himself to act as God's ambas sador, unless God has commissioned him so to act ? An eloquent man he may be, and one mighty in the scriptures, but he has no authority to speak in God's name, until God has given him that authority. How, asks St. Paul, shall they preach, i.e. preach lawfully, except they be sent, i.e. sent by God ? No man, says scripture, taketh this honour to himself, but he that is called of God. Nay, even Christ, says the apostle, glorified not Himself to be made an high priest, but He that said unto Hiin, "thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee," even lie entered not on his minis terial office until lle was externaly appointed thereto. As the Lord Jesus Christ was sent by the Father, so were the apostles sent by him. "As my Father hath sent mr„' Ile says, soon after his resurrection, "even so send I you.', Now how had the Father sent Him? He had sent Him to act as his supreme minister on earth ; as such to appoint un der Him subordinate ministers, and to do what He then did, when his work on earth was done, to hand on his commission to others. The apostles, in like manner, were sent by Christ to act as his chief ministers iu the church, to appoint subor dinate ministers under them, and then, as He had done, to hand on their commission to , others. And on this commis sion, after our Lord had ascended up on high, the apostles proceeded to act. They formed their converts into churches: these churches consisted of baptized believers, to officiate among whom subordinate ministers, priests, and deacons, were ordained, while the apostle who first formed any parti cular church, exercised over it episcopal superintendence, either holding an occasional visitation, by sending for the clergy to meet hint, (as St. Paul summoned to Melitus the clergy of Ephesus,) or else transmitting to them those pasto ral addresses, which, under the name of epistles, form so im portant a portion of holy scriptures. At length, however, it became necessary for the apostles to proceed yet further, and to do as their Lord had empow ere d th em to do, to hand on their commission to others, that at their own death the go vernors of the church might not be extinct. .Of this we have an instance in Titus, who was placed in Crete by St. Paul, to act as chief pastor or bishop, and another in Timothy, who was in like manner set over the church of Ephesus. And when Timothy was thus appointed to the office' of chief Pastor he was associated with P au l, w h o , i n writ i ng to t h e hilippians, commences his salutation thus:—" Paul and Timothens to the servants of Jesus Christ who are at Phi lippi, with the bishops and deacons." Now we have here the three orders of the ministry clearly alluded to. The title of bishop is, to be sure, given to the ,second order; but it is not for words, but for things, that we arc to contend. Titles may change while offices remain : so senators exist, though they are not now of necessity old men; and most absurd would it be, to contend that when we speak of the Emperor Constantine, we can mean no other office than that held under the Roman republic, because we find Cicero also saluted as emperor. So stood the matter in the apostolic age, when the chief pastors of the church were generally designated apostles or angels, i. e. messengers sent by God himself. In the next century, the office remaining, the designation of those who held it was changed, the title of apostle was confined to the twelve, including tilt. Paul ; and the chief pastors who suc ceeded them were thenceforth called bishops, the subordinate ministers being styled priests and deacons. And thus we see, as Christ was sent by the Father, so Ile sent the apostles; as the apostles were sent by Christ, so did they send the first race of bishops ; as the first race of bishops was sent by the apostles, so they sent the sent the second race of bishops, the second the third, and so down to our present bishops, who can thus trace their spiritual descent from St. Peter' and St. Paul, and prove their divine authority to govern the churches over which they are canonically appointed to preside. Like the apostles they have the right to appoint under them the subordinate ministers and so, let the papists say what they will, the clergy of England can establish their right by com mission from Christ to minister in sacred things. Such was originally the consitution not of one or two churches only, but of the church universal—the church ca tholic. Against the church so constituted in various places, sectarians arose, even in , the apostolic age. These sects were generally, like modern sects, distinguished by the names ,of their founders. But true churches disdained to be called after any human being whatever, since of them Christ was the author and finisher. The episcopal churches persevere ing in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, were styled col lectively the catholic church ; and in order to distinguish it from the surrounding sects, the true orthodox church, some times the catholic church of that place, and hence the tern) catholic came, by degrees, to signify (as Bishop Beveridge remarks) much the same as our term orthodox—the orthodox . church, and orthodox members of the same—that church which-adhered to the scriptural discipline and doctrine uni versally received, as distinguished from the discipline in vented, and the doctrine propounded, by individual teachers. You see here, by the way, the folly (if it be not sin, for it calling "evil, good—and good, evil,") of styling the Romish dissenters in England, as some persons in extreme ignorance, and others perhaps with bad intentions do, catholics; for this insinuates, that we of the church of England ate heretics, whereas you have seen that ours, not theirs, is the true and orthodox church of Christ in this country, the real catholic church in and of England. If they dislike the name of papist, we may speak of them as Rornanists, or even Roman cat holies, Roman catholics they may be styled, for (though schismatics and dissenters in England,) itt France, and Italy, they belong to a church true by descent, though corrupted by Roman or popish superstitions, A bad inanas still a man, and you may refuse to associate with hint before he reforms,—But still yuu will never perntit him so to style himself a man as to imply that you yourself are an inhuman being. Pure in its doctrine, apostolic in its discipline, and edifying in its ceremonies, this catholic and apostolic church diffused blessings, and preserved its purity for many hundred years. In the middle ages it existed, still working good and administer ing grace according to the exigence of the times; emitting a ray of light when all around was dark. But the surrounding ignorance'und gloom prevented the detection of various cor ruptions and disfigurements which by degrees crept into it; until, in the sixteenth century, the sun of learning having dawned upon Europe, its,defects iu this country began to - be= tray themselves too obviously to be any luuger tolerated. Of . these defects, so far a s th e E ng li s h b ranc h o f t h e c h urc h w a s concerned, the bishops of the church of England, as I have before • stated, by degree s became aware, and while they venerated the fabi ie which apostles had-reared, and Of whish Christ himself was the chief corner-stone,- they carefully re moved the incrustations which disfigured it, and sweeping away the rubbish by which it had been overlaid, displayed the real-rock upon which it had been built. 'Thus was the catholic and apostolic: church, of which we profess our belief in the creeds, rescued in England from popish domination, and (re formed or brought back to its prtinit ive purity, dignified its its Siinplicity) it retained the ministry in regular succession from the apostles, and a ritual and liturgy which can themselves iu great part - be traced back to the apostolic age. s Although causelessly to separate front such a church must he a schismatical act, yet %se do net uncharitable pronounce sentence of 'condemnation upon those who have, by circum stances over which they have no controul, have brought up Without its pale. In error, of coarse, we believe them to be, but certainly not in such error - froio that circumstance as to endanger their salvation : and if We suppose theist, as we must do, to lack our privileges; this ought only to make us respect them the more if at any time we find them (with fewer advan tages)surpassing us in godliness. We do not confine God's grace and revolts to the church, for we remember that though Job was not a member of the then church of God, still lie was eminently pious and highly-favoured; we remember, that though Balaam was not in the church, yet he was an inspired prophet; we remenierretosteh the Jethro also, the father-in-law of h y e te l t s o rae l l s i r t a e c o l (;tadnsd yetti the s church ervant n at t t to t se t s i;n tu e ho na g s h trot a p confined ii God; we remember, that the Rechabites were actually com mended by God at the very tithe He passed censure upon those who were then his church—the people Israel. Remembering all this, wetlay not that other denominations of Christians are cast out from the mercy of God - through the Saviour because they belong not to the church ; all that we say is, that it does not follow that these concessions must ren der-void the divine appointment of the church, the divine command to all nations, and of course to all mankind, to be united with it. or the scriptural evidence for episcopacy as the divinely sanctioned organization of its - ministry,—and we con tend, that a treasure having been committed to us, we are not undervalue it lest we should offend others, but are to preserve it in its purity, and in all its integrity to transinit it our child ren's children. And let, me ask, is not the privilege of belonging to a church thus orthodox in its doctrine, and true by descent, thus both catholic and protestant, a privilege for which we should be deeply grateful to the providence and grace of God ? And will not the account we shall have to render be awful, if we neglect, despises, or forego, the advantages thus placed within our reach,? - Let us ever remember, that the primary object for which the church was instituted by Christ, its author and finisher, and for which the apostolical succession of its members was ;that she primary ohject for whiCh s through ages of persecution, and ages of proiperity, and ages of darkness, and ages of corruption, and ages of reformation, and ages of Latitudinarianism, and now in an age of rebuke and blas phemy, now when we have fallen on evil days and evil tongues, the primary object for which the church has stiil been preserved by a providential care, marvellous sometimes if not miraculous in our eyes, was and is to con ve y superna turally the saving merits of the atoning blood of the Lamb of God, and the sanctifying graces of his holy spirit to the. be liever's soul. In the church it is, that the appointed means arc to be found by which that mysterious union with Christ is promoted in which our spiritual life exists,—in her it is, that the. third person of the blessed trinity abideth for ever, gradually to change the hearts of sinfnl man, and to make that flesh which He finds stone,—gradually to prepare us for heaven, while our ascended Saviour is preparing heaven for us. And, oh ! my brethren ! what a privilege it is to have this well of living waters in which yoit may wash and be clean ! You know that you are sinful creatures, very far gone froM righteousness; you know that yourcondition issuch, that you cannot turn and prepare yourselves by your own natural strength and good works to faith and calling upon God; you know that by nature you cannot love the Lord your God with all your heart, and soul, and strength; you cannot discharge . the various duties of your various s it ua ti ons i n lif e; y ou knovi that whatever your condition now may be, the hour must come of affliction and sorrow, of sickness and sadness, the inevita ble hour of death ; and the church is instituted to convey to you pardon upon your repentance, and grace in time of need ; it is instituted to instruct you in your ignorance, to comfort you in your sorrows, to elevate you in your devotions, to bring von into communion with your Saviour, your sanctitier, your God; to prepare you for the hour of death, yea, for the Clay of judgment; and this she chiefly does through the gos pel, and other divinely appointed ordinances of religion, if of them you will but avail yourselves. But this is not all; while the church thus ministers grace to individuals, it is part of her business to preserve, hand down, and proclaim the truth, the whole truth, as it is in Jesus. And our duty, therefore, it is—especially, if we happen by God's providence to be called to situations of influence, rank, or au thority—by all the means in our power to increase her effici ency in this respect, to place her on the watch-tower, that her voice may he haard through the length and the breath of the land; our duty it is, to take care that her faith be preserved intact and pure; our duty it is, to vindicate her from the glosses of ignorance, and the misrepresentations of prejudice and malice; our duty it is, clearly to define, and zealously to maintain, those peculiar doctrines and that peculiar discipline, which have always marked, and do still continue to mark, the distinction between the church of christ, administered under the superintendence of chief pastors or bishops who have re gularly succeeded to the apostles, from those sects of Chris tianity which exist under self-appointed teachers. Against the church the world seems at this time to be set in array• To he a true and faithful member of the church re quires no little moral courage. Basely to pretend to belong to her, while designing mischief against her in the heart, this is easy enough; but manfully to contend for her because she is the church, a true church, a pure church, a holy church. this is difficult to those who court the praise of men, or fear the censure of the world. May the great God of heaven, may- Christ the great bishop and shepherd of souls, who is over ail things in the church, put it, my brethren, into your hearts and minds to say and feel (as I do,) "as for me and toy house, we will live in the church, we will die in the church, and if need shall be, like our martyred forefathers, we will die for the church." The Alercen comet, the appearance of which has been an nounced fur 1838, will be visible with a telescope in a few days. MECHANICS' INSTITUTION. LECTURES ON THE STRUCTURE AND HISTORY OP TIL ARTICULATED MOLLUSCOUSCLASSESOF ANIMALS. On Wednesday evening Dr. Grant delivered his seven lecture. The shells of the gasteropods are commonly met with in the form of a cone. The limpet is one of the most simple specimens of this order. But we observe these cones become very much lengthened in some of the genus, especially in those Is Inch we call stentalia ; indeed, so much so as to re semble the red blooded worm rather than the gasteropod. Of these cones there is an endless diversity. They generally consist of spiral convolutions, closed at the apex and open at the base. By this means the animals within have the means of additional growth, without any necessity for casting off their shells. Their shells are composed of carbonate and phosphate of lime, agglutinated together with an albuminous matter. A great change takes place in the form of many of these shells during the lifetime of the animal, so that a person not conversant with the subject would be apt to con sider the young and the adult shells to belong to different species of animals. The animal is attached to the shell in ternally, but to the exterior of its body there is a thin cover ing of carbonate of lime, called the operculum, which closes up the entrance of the shell so as to protect the animal from danger and enable it to retain a sufficient quantity of water within the shell to supply its wants during the recession of the tide. When the ammal is alarmed it draws its opercu- lulu more within its shell, and thus forces out the water which it was providing for such an important purpose. The limpet has no operculum, as it fixes itself to the surface of the rock, and the rock thus becomes its operculum. In the spiral shell the body of the animal is fixed to the internal column around which the spiral exterior forms itself. There are a number of plants which are enabled to float upon the surface of the water by means of the gases which they secrete in their air sacs. These plants are the food of numer ous gasteropods which atta c h th emse l ves to t h em. I n t hi s manner, without being able to swim, many creatures belong ing to this tribe are enabled to remain on the surface of the ocean. Many of them, however, are attached to plants at the bottom of the sea, or ri se t o t h e sur f ace by their own buoy ancy. Several of the species feed upon animal matters, and others upon vegetable. The common garden snail belongs to this order of animals. The pteropods swim through the water by means of fins. They in common with the gasteropods are perfectly organ ized for their condition in the water, whether destined to prey upon animal or vegetable matters. Several of them seem to he like the peleniites. On a beautiful still sunny evening, the whole surface'of the - ocean swarms with myriads of them.' It is then that the contemplative naturalist can behold the living habits of these animals, and conceive the uses of those organs which they present upon their exteriors. Such is the condition of the pteropods, which we seldom see unless in this tranquil state of ,the ocean. Some of them abound in such amazing abundance as to change the colour of the ocean, others of them serve as food for whales. Both the gasteropods and the pteropods assist in throwing down those layers of calcareous matters which will form important strata in our globe at a future period. We find their remains in the sto machs of numerous fishes, which show that predacious fishes, make great havoc amongst this class of animals. Indeed, the acalepha, and other floating animals, depend upon them for food. 31ntcliigcncr. FRI DAY, AUGUST 24.—Wind W.N. W.

Of Oats and Oatmeal we have this week had rather better sup plies from Ireland than for some time previous, hut'of all other artieles of the trade the imports have continued to be extremely limited. On Tuesday last the market was noted dull, with a de cline in prices generally •, those of free IVheat being reduced 6d, those of Oats 2d per bushel, those of Flour 4s per sack, and those of Oatmeal 2s per load below the quotations of this day se'nnight. Bonded Wheat also participated in the decline. A return of had weather has, Iniwever, imparted renewed confidence to holders, and.several transactions have since occurred in this article, at 4d to 6d per bushel above the rates obtainable on Tueilday; 9s 3d to 9s 9d have been paid for good fair runs, and lOs to lOs 3d per 701 h. for choice. In free Wheat there has not been much business, the millers buying cautiously, and we make no change in its value beyond that tkove noted. At yesterday's market English red Was sold at Its to Ils 6d, white up to 125; Irish red at 103 to lOs 9d per 701bs.—Flour moved slowly at 5Cs to 63s per sack.. Oats and Oatmeal were both offering on rather easier terms : the best Irish Oatmeal at 30s per 2401b5. 3s 9cl per 451 b. in ay be considered the extreme - quotation for Oat. A few Irish new Oats have appeared, and also a little new Bore : the former brought 4s 4d per 451 b, the latter 5s 6d per 60Ib. Beans and Pease. remain as last noted, and not much business passing in them. Barley is still in small supply 5s lid to 6s are the quotations for good qualities, and 4s 6d to 5s per 601bs for.ordinary runs. IRISH PRODUCE AND MANUFACTURE. • DUBLIN, August 23.
