By Charles Augus tus Hulbert, formerly Tyrwhitt, Hebrew, and Crosse Theological Scholar of the University of Cam bridge, and now Perpetual Curate of Slaithwaite, York- Newling. London : Washbourne. Liverpoo This work consists of a sermon on the song of the ble: Virgin, and an historical discussion of the question, " is Mary to be called the mother of God ?" Circumstances of a local nature which are not explained by the author, but to which allusion is made in the prefaee, occasioned its publica tion; but as it grapples with one of the points controverted between the defenders of the reformation and the abettors of the Oxford heresy, we regard it at the present motfient as worthy of all the publicity a we can give through the medium of our cola In the sermon the author under- takes to bring together the various assertions contained in _ - _ Scripture respecting the virgin mother of Christ, and pro ceeds, step by step, with a candid and dispassionate exami nation of the bearings of ,ch on her position and character in order to ascertain what amount of homage or veneration le Christian church ; and he ar rives at is due to her from ture affords no justific. .tion of the the conclusion tha lofty titles wh cribed to her in the Rotnish ritual, ct of the Oxford tracts and their some of which it is the obje abettors in the provinces to revive in the church of England In the " historical di s cussion" which follows, shows that, though he has used great plainness of s i , the sermon, he is fully prepared to meet his antagonists on the broad ground of antiquity, by an appeal to the decisions of councils, and in the use of quotations from the Greek and Latin fathers. The points which he elucidates in this section of his work are the following : " I.—The origin of the term Theotokos, and its lawful the writer leech in sense as opposed to the Nestorians. " ll.—lts perversion into " The Mother of God" by the church of Rome. " lll.—The heresy and corruptions which arose in conse- quence of its abuse. " IV. The consequent abandonment of it by the re- formers. "V.—And the general inutility of reviving it." In the discussion of these points the author has so com pletely sifted the whole matter, and disencumbered it of its difficulties, as to leave on the mind of his reader but one im pression, namely, that the phrase " The Mother of God" is highly objectionable, not only as unscriptural, but as imply ing more than can possibly be true, or was originally intended by the Greek term Theotokos. And the man, who, after a careful perusal of this small volume, would still persist in using such a phrase in reference to the Virgin Mary, we should regard as more remarkable for his bias to Romish error than for his love of scriptural truth. We are delibe rately of opinion that the time is come when the advocates of the popish tenets, put forth in a refined and modernised form, in the Oxford tracts, must be boldly a nd every where met. The champi ons o f protestant truth must buckle on their armour and prepare to combat these enemies of our national church who are lurking within its walls, with ser mon for sermon, tract for tract, letter for letter, and speech for speech, for it is already begun to be whispered, and in some quarters loudly prollaimed that the form er shrink from the contest from a consc i ou s ness of their inability to encounter the talent and learning of the tractarians. But such we know is not the fact, and we are confident there will be a movement in the right direction by and bye. As an in dication of this we hail the appearance of the present publi cation, and beg to recommend it to the attentive Peru sal of our clerical readers, and of such of the laity as take an in terest in church matters.

A TAILOR'S REPARTEE.—A person being seated at table between two tradesmen, and thinking to be witty upon them, said, " How prettily I am fixed between the two tailors." Upon which one of them replied, " Being only beginners in business, we cannot afford to keep more than one goose be tween us." It appears from a recent statistical return, that there are in Austria and its dependencies, including its Italian terri tory, 25,500,000 Catholics, 3,500,000 members of the United Greek Church, 2,900,000 of the non-United, 1,260,000 Lu therans, 2,240,000 of the Reformed Church, 45,000 Socinians, and 600,000 Jews.

In the course of the last ten years no fewer than 5,794 fires have happened within the limits of the metropolis. The number of houses totally burned down has been 269 ; partially consumed, 1,611; and slightly damaged, 3,894. The number of persons that perished by houses taking fire during the period are as fol lows :-1833, 12; 1834, 3; 1835, 11 ; 1836, 14; 1837, 13; 1838. 24 ; 1839, 25 ; 1840, 25 ; 1811, 11 ; 1842, 20—total. 158. These are the lives lost where the firemen were called ; but many others have occurred through clothes taking fire, &c., of which no notice has been received. '1 he chief portion of the fires broke out in the following trades. Their number during the ten years are attached. At booksellers, binders, and stiltioners, 79 fires; bakers, 140 ; brokers, 48 ; cabinet makers, 84; carpenters, 245; chandlers. 48; chemists, 40; drapers, woollen, linen, and mercers, 107; grocers, 59; hat makers, 57; brothels, 60; lodging-houses, 440 ; private dwellings, 1,935; public-houses (chiefly from carelessness,) 318 ; oil and colour shops, 87; inciter match-makers, 63 ; stable;, 113; and sale shops of different descriptions, 325. A great numb& have been proved to be wilful, and the of fenders escaped punishment on account of the want of a prosecutor. DINING WITH A BISHOP.—Mons.

Good, come and dine with me this evening : I expect the bishop.' Dine with the bishop exclaimed the uncle—l, a poor parish priest : I fear I should not have courage.' It strikes me,' said the duke, ' that au uncle may venture to dine with his nephew. I shall expect you at five o'clock.' At the hour appointed the timid ecclesiastic arrived in the drawing. room of the minister, where he looked in vain for his superior. In a few moments the duke said, id we will sit down to table.

NG ANECDOTR.—A ye assumed the command of the Queen's, a soldier, whose ap pearance was remarkable, drew my attention. He was a par ticularly clean and nice -looking soldier; but he seemed odd in his manner, and did not appear to associate with or spe ak to any one. On inquiring of the adjutant, he informed me that the man in question had once been a sergeant; and he had attempted the life of his commanding officer in the West Indies, for which crime he had been tried, found guilty, and sentenced to be reduced, and to receive eight hundred lashes ; that he had been reduced accordingly, but that, through the clem enc y of his commanding officer, the corporal punishment had been remitted. The adjutant further stated, " that a better or cleaner soldier was not in the service;" but he was, he said, so sullen, that no person associated with him, and the officers of the regiment looked upon him with a sort of horror. I continued to observe this man for some little time longer, till one day, as he crossed me in the barrack-square, in my way to my quarters, leaned to him by name, and desired him to follow me. When I got to my room, I told him, after he had entered, to shut th door. I then said to him, INTERk short time after I had He raised his band to his cap, an said, " I have observed you for is much in your favour.

You once contemplated a crime of the most re volting nature—that of murder. You attempted the life of your commanding officer. You were tried, found guilty, and sentenced. All this is true; is it not?" He touched his cap again, and said, "Yes, sir ; " but not a muscle moved. " Dudley," said I, " your officers have a horror of you ; but such a feeling on their parts is not to be wondered at." Still his countenance remained unchanged. " Now attend to what lam about to say to you, Dudley. I have watched you for some time, and I pity you; I should like to give you an op portunity for recovering your place in society, and for regain.

Britain's trade claims the whole habitable globe for its opera tions. Her colonies are placed in every direction where man can exist. Upon her dominion the sun never sets ;—her flag waves upon every sea, and a volume would be required to detail the results of her maritime enterprise and internal trade upon the aspect of the city which forms the centre of these mighty operations. In population London is a nation in herself; the number of inhabitants has doubled in forty years, and now amounts to one million nine hundred thousand. In 1845 it will contain two millions ! In length, from east to west, the houses extend in one line between five and six miles, and in breadth, from north to south, nearly four. But if we include Chelsea at one extreme, and Blackwell at the other, and take the breadth from Walworth to Holloway—and these are now certainly portions of the Great City,—we shall have London covering above thirty square miles of ground ! And then her river, bearing upon its surface the ships of every nation ; and her docks—the East and West India Docks, the London Docks, the Commercial Docks, and the St. Kathe rine's Docka, together covering more than five hundred acres, teeming with valuable commodities ; and one of them, the West India Docks, capable of accommodating 500 large ships. To the port of London alone, in 1840, there belonged 2,950 ships of 581,000 tons burden, and manned by 32,000 seamen ; in the same year there entered the port from British colonies, 1,683 ships ; from her own coasts, including colliers, 20.205 ships ; from I reland, 907 ships; from foreign countries, 2,355; which, with 3,166 British vessels, formed one year's trade. What can compare with this? London contains one hundred thousand inhabited houses, one half of them having shops attached. The yearly consumption of porter and ale is 2,000,000 of barrels, all brewed in the place ; of sheep, 1.403,466 have been sold in Smithfield in one year, together with 183,000 head of cattle. Many miles of ground in the vicinity are occupied as market gardens, and have spread over them many hundred acres of glass. 70,000,000 of foreign eggs are imported, to say nothing of the millions pro duced at home ; 12,000 cows afford an insufficient supply of milk ; the Irish and Dutch send immense quantities of butter; Ireland also supplies bacon and pork. The water companies send into the houses 237,000,000 of hogsheads of water in a year ; the gas companies produce 10,000,000 cubic feet of gas, daily, which feeds 100,000 lights; the paving for a year costs above £200,000, the sewer rates £400,000. There are six thousand hotels, taverns, and coffee-houses, and twenty theatres, besidy concert-rooms and exhibitions of various kinds. London issues nearly 30,000,000 of news papers ; has steam-boat accommodation for 10,000 passengers daily; from London extends 1,000 miles of railway, laid down at an expense of £47,000,000; with fifty-nine canals dug at a cost of .E 14,000.000. Through the post-office pass 70,000,000 of letters in a year, whilst the amount of cash paid by the London bankers through the cleari ng h ouse i n 1841, averaged .£45,000,000 monthly .

The ledv has- tened to display her wares, which the young man examined like a perfect connoisseur.

At the appointed hour Madame B--, by way of Precaution, took her son with her, and proceeded to the Rue Tournon,. The house was a fine one, and she was directed to a handsome apartment on the first floor. The gentleman was ready to receive them, and taking the pendule entered into another room, leaving the door open. " Look, my dear aunt," he said, " here's the present I spoke to you about. Can anything be more simple ?" "It is too handsome." replied the voice of an aged woman—" far too good ; it must have cost you a pretty sum—always doing something foolish." " No, my dear aunt, not this time. It has only cost 70f." "well, that is not too much—but the other things, the pre sents fur your sister and your cousins." "Oh ! I have them—all equally chea. will sho w th em t o you, if you like, with the rec e ipt." "Ah ! mauvais sujet—l see you want me to pay for part of them ; well, well, let me see them." The young man brou g ht back the pendule to Ma dame B—, and taking u p th e o th er t hi ngs sa i d " My aunt is in excellent humour; I should not be surprised if she paid for all." He then returned to the inner room, still leaving the door open. " Here, my good aunt, see what good taste I have displayed. These are the car-rings and brooch I in tend for my sister." " What !" cried the old woman's voice, " Brilliants !—very bad taste ! a young girl should never wear anything but pearls. You ought to have asked her opinion." " But, my dear aunt—" " I say you ought to have con sulted her—go and call her. Let us hear what she has to say on the matter." " With all my heart, my good madam." He came out again, and addressing the lady and her son said, " It is only an old woman's fancy ; but she is a good old soul, and you shall see how pretty my sister is." He tnen traversed the ante-chamber, and went to call his sister. A quarter of an hour, however, elapsed, and no person ap peared. Madame B—and her son coughed and scraped their feet to attract the attention of the aunt, bnt no person seemed to mind them. They then ventured to enter the aunt's room, which to their astonishment and alarm was empty ! They immediately ran down to the porter and asked for the gentleman. "Oh ! he has been off some time in the cabriolet which he hired." " But you know him ?" asked the alarmed lady. "Oh not 1," said the other; "he took the apartment yesterday, gare 10f. as the dinier-a- Dieu, and took possession this Morning." There could be no doubt about the matter. An impudent robbery had been committed by means of ventriloquism, and the ingenious rival of Alexandre has not yet been discovered. INTREPIDITY AND HUMANITY OF ELLISTON.—An ad venture took place about this time, which, by one particular, was rendered somewhat remarkable. A musical star being in the ascendant, and opera, consequently, the zenith of the " bills," Elliston's duties did not call him to the theatre until late in the evening, when he had to play the part of Don Juan, for about the fiftieth time. Passing down an ob scure street, on his way thither, his ears were suddenly startled by indications_of terror and distress, and he disco vered, on turning abruptly into a narrow court, the lower part of a house enveloped in flames. The occupiers had es caped unhurt, and most of them, miserably poor, were watching, either in stupid agon y or with unavailing cries, he sure destruction of their crazy chattels ; while others, rracted to the spot by mere curiosity, looked on the scene an exhibition prepared for their special gratification, ' 7.vidence of ruin but as a coup de thedtre, ....cy welcomed with applause. Amidst the bewildering appeals of the surrounding sufferers, the most heart rendine were those of a middle-aged female, who, running from spot to spot, and threading the crowd without any identical pur pose of action, exclaimed—" Poor Jamie! he's gone—he's gone !—no one can help poor daft Jamie !" By the language and manner of the woman, it was clear some one yet re mained unrescued, and at the mercy of the element. Ellis. ton instantly pushed forward to the frantic suppliant, and soon understood that, in an upper apartment, some helpless being was still imprisoned, whose awful fate was momentarily expected. A. side-door of the house afforded still the possi bility of ingress. Of the chance Elliston availed himself— he rushed up the staircase, followed fortunately by a by stander, emboldened by this example, and found himself instantaneously in a wretched attic, where, on a still more wretched pallet, lay extended a poor bed-ridden being, whose state of idiotcy seemed roused to a glimmering sense of some proximate danger, but who had neither power of utterance nor ability of motion. Amidst the varied evidences of decay ground hirn; this wreck of humanity —age, idiotcy, and in- Do -►y, each in its extreme— Lost for a qwent to the frightful firmity, with their attendant pov )werfully progress of the element, he stood motionless and app"alleci. " 'Tis useless !" exclaimed the man who had followed him— "he cannot be saved ! the stairs are already in flames !" —he shall !" ejaculated Elliston—" be steady, and accomplish it." Approaching the bed, Elliston 'or creature in his arms, and binding about him • , ,iiant of sheet and clothing—as much to disarm feet:nu attempts to be free, as for the covering t might afford—carried him to the head of the stair case. The mingling clamour of apprehension and encourage meat from the mob below kept his energy at its pitch, but to descend the flight thus encumbered was impossible. The fire was mounting, and suffocation inevitable. With difficulty he had passed to the first landing, where, forcing a side window, he presented his nearly-rescued charge to the mul titude. But the shrieks and straggles of the sufferer—the d,fficulty of making the crowd understand that they were to assist him from below, all, imperatively, the work of a few seconds—had nearly left them in one common ruin. At " H e can— raised the :ver, by the aid c le living burden le tackle, and f as lifted on the sill, lowered , unhurt, into the contrived by the f of the people. The two liberators now effected their ape—not terrific, indeed, in descent, but within nutes the whole interior was in flames. Disentang ling himself from the embraces of the women (as little be fitting Don Juan as his escape from fire), Elliston now, like good Launcelot, " took to his heels and ran," reaching the theatre just in time to see a substitute Libertine, like other tagouts, " dressed on the shortest notice," and ready to be served up in his place. An apology had been made to the audie ce fur his absence, bnt the cause of it was still in in -1 tC own e, ing mystery. In a few worr',s, he explained to his apo logist the event of the evening, who, taking the opportunity of Elliston's dressing, again presented himself before the curtain, and repeated the slight account he had received with considerable point. " Don Juan," he added, "as announced in the bills, had already descended in a shower of real fire,' but having set his very fate at defiance he had effected his return, to receive, as he richly deserved, a still warmer sentence at the hands of his judgesinow present." His wel- come, as may be well supposed, was most enthusiastic. Called upon to tell his own story, Elliston wasas much in his element as Don Juan—for he had to make a speech; a faculty which, though in after life he greatly improved, he by no means inconsiderably possessed at this present. The above incident gave such additional attraction to this drama. that it was scarcely out of the bills at any part of the season. So m uc h for the adventure itself; but Elliston, who, it will be readily believed, took the earliest opportunity of search- unhappy patient be had rescued, discovered that no bad originally been an actor, and frequently a fellow-la bourer with the great Macklin. Indiscretion, and conse quent want of employ, had brought on this state of mental aberration and wretchedness. Elliston continued bis kind ness to him till he died. — The Elation Papers in Ainsworth's Magazine.

Scorrtsx BAN KING.—We have frequently noted, of late, the too palpable symptoms of a desire, if not a determina tion, on the part of a considerable interest in England, to interfere with the monetary concerns of this portiori of the empire. The statements and arguments of the parties in England, to whom we allude, are remarkable for their ex treme ignorance and presumption. They not only know nothing of the system which they assail, but they wholly misconceive, and, of course, misrepresent, its true objects and effects. Two of the common objections these parties urge will show this beyond all question. They assert that the circulation in this country exceeds the capital of the banks, and could not be met in specie: in short, has no re ference to the legal standard. The facts are, however, the very reverse—the capital of the banks greatly exceeds the issues, and they possess precisely the same facilities of paying in gold as the Bank of England. The Scottish banks have no advantage whatever in this respect. Then, we are 'told that our banking establishments are no better than many of the joint-stock banks in England have turned out : that they are based upon mere speculations, and, in the event of a crisis, could not meet their obligations. These assertions argue the grossest ignorance, not only of the banks them selves, but of the Scottish character for caution and foresight. We beseech our English contemporaries not to agitate this subject without some inquiries —without some knowledge of the system they wish to destroy. Meanwhile, we may frankly tell them, that any attempt, fromnyhatever quarter, to carry out the ideas they entertain, must prove futile and abortive.—Edinburgh Standard. . ,mmimomembrommo 1 illtelitgriirc TUESDAY, JANUARY 10.—Wind W.N.W. a gale.

The arrival of Potatoes during the past week, both from the Isle of Man, Scotland and Ireland, is only on a small scalefor the season of the year, which may in some measure be attributed to the exceedingly boisterous and unsettled weather prevailing for the past few days ;—influenced by this cause, the demand both in retail at the quays, and reshipment, has assumed a more steady aspect, and although the business done has been by no means ex tensive, yet a small advance has been realized in some instances for fine runs :—the best description of Manx, Scotch and Irish Cups are selling in retail at from Is to Is Id per galbs. ; inferior 10d to lid.

A moderately fair supply of Oats and Flour, with a further liberal accession of Oatmeal, have arrived from Ireland into this port since Tuesday last, but of Wheat and other grain thence, or of any article coastwise, except Malt, we have little to notice; and from abroad the imports consist merely of 444 bags of East India Flour, with 1404 qrs. of Beans from Egypt. An indication of amendment in the leaning markets of this district last week, and the rise in London yesterday, commu cated a better feeling to the Wheat trade here this morning ; and, having a tolerable appearance of local and country buyers, an increase of 2d. to 3d. per 70Ibs. over the rates of this day week was paid upon most descriptions of both Irish and foreign, whilst English Wheat, although rather scarce, barely commanded a proportionate improvement; the ad vance, however, evidently tending to check any extensive demand, the transactions on the whole were but moderate in amount. Irish Flour was taken off zither freely, and prime marks were Is. per sack higher, States, as well as Canadian, at the same time fully supporting late prices. English Malting Barley, in the absence of arrivals, would realise the increased terms noted on Friday ; but in grinding qualities, or in Malt, Beans, or Pease, no change was per ceptible. Oats met some inquiry, resulting in sales to a moderate extent at an amendment of id. per 451bs ; and Oatmeal may be noted 6d. per 2401b5. dearer, but was not readily saleable above the rates of this day senrright.

OLICAL —On Wednesday night last, about 12 o'clock, some vagabonds fired the contents of two guns through the club-room windows of Mr. Pitt, of the Plough Inn, Longclon ; the report awoke the landlady, Mrs. Pitt, who fortunately did not succeed, for some time, in her 'en deavours to arouse her husband, or the consequences might have proved fatal, for in a very short time the inhuman wretches fired through the window of the bed-room in which - Mr. and Mrs. Pitt were sleeping, situate on the other side of the house, and entirely demolished the window, strewing the glass iu all directions ; but providentially the inmates did not sustain any injury. The parties appear to have fired from a rising ground in front of the window, and about 15 or 18 inches above the level of the bed. There is every reason to suppose the first report was intended merely as a decoy, the wretches naturally thinking if Mr. Pitt heard the report he would immediately go to his bed-room window to ascertain the cause. The only parties on whom suspicion falls are certain poachers who infest the neighbourhood, and to whom Mr. Pitt has made himself obnoxious by refusing to harbour them in his house, and otherwise annoying them in their un lawful pursuits.— Worcester Journal. *larhtt . , WARRINGTON CORN MARKET, JAk.

COTTON MARKET, JANUARY 12. Our Cotton market wears a quiet and unusually tame aspect, considering the present position of tne manufacturing interest. On all hands it is allowed that both the importer and consumer are in a better position than for some time past; the latter has what is termed a remunerating business, whilst the former is en abled to realise a fair profit on his importations. The quantity sold yesterday was 5000 bales, and to-day only 4000. The disposition to purchase sparingly may be accounted for by the fact of a fair average stock being held in the interior.
