Ittraturr. NOTICES. The Church Visible, and th- Church Invisible. Perris, Liverpool. We have here two scriptural discourses preached in St. Michael's Church, in this town, by the Rev. Mr. Carpen ter, the truly estimable, incumbent, wherein Le shows that in the new testament, and in the standard, of our Church, the word " Church" has the two following principal meariinzs:— " 1. It signiffi.s that vast body diffused throughout the world, which has been baptised i , )to the name of Christ, which professes faith in his word and sacraments, and obedience to his cinarnknds. This body cln be seen by the eye, and it , a profession known to ail, being distin guished from Jews, Heathens and Mahommedans, by its outward religious badges and its public acknowledgement of Christ. Hence this body is denomina►ed visible. And from its being extendel through many d fferent nations of the earth, and rot like the J,v;is, church confined to a single people, it has received the epithet of catholic or universal. _ . _ "2. Now, within this great body of the baptised. that is, within the visible ;•athefic Church. every real servant of Christ under heaven way be found: where else are we to look for Christ's true disciples, my dear brethren, if not here? Snail they be found in the ranks of Judaism, Heathenism, or Mahomedani7sm, for these divide the world with Christ. No - surely amo, , g these. Every true believer on earth is somewhere within the borders of the visible church. Yes! blesscd be our God and Saviour ; many, very many dwell within the precincts of this visible church, who not only outwardly prafess Christ, but in their hearts have a living faith in his saving name. Mul titudes are here, who are wasiied indeed by His Holy. Spirit: but, all these, thus inwardly sashed and sancti fied, are Christ's spiritual am! mystical body ; or, as they are often designated, His Invisible Church on earth. In visible, I say, not because the members of it are not per sonally visible; for this they are: not because they do not wear the outward badges of Christ; for this they do but because that faith which unites them to Christ is in visible to man, being dis erned only by God ; and because their inward sanctification is known, with certainty, to His all-searching; eye alone, and must necessarily be in visible to their fellow-men." The rev, author establishes with unanswerable force and chtarness that these views of the church are ac cordance with the scripiiires, and with the formularies of our national church. Mr. Carpenter also cites in an ap pendix a great number of autnorities from the writings of the most learned and godly men of different ages, and of diffecent schools, all concurring, substantially, with the definitions above given. Hints to Promote a Life of Faith. London : Hatchard ; Liverpool: Grapel. This is evidently the work of a very spiritually-minded man, who dedicates it " ti his sons on their entrance into the world," and who has wr tten it " chiefly to assist the inexperienced inquirer in the dil.gent and profitable peru sal of the Holy Scriptures." The work is divided into Meditations, which are each headed by a number of pas sages from Scripture. The chief divisions are the follow ing :—" To glority God the design of creation"—" The worldling admonished"—" The practical call to self examination"—" The two sacraments"—" Tiie Chris tian's answer for the hope that is in him"—and " The end of faith." The sub ivi,ons of these subjects" enter deeply and practically iota the experimental " life of faith" which it is the design of the writer to unfold; and though the author s.-ems to think the work will chiefly commend itself to the young, we teel confident that the most matured will derive profit from is perusal. There is pious fervour, scriptural faithfulness, and practical appli cation, in almost every line. The Library of Travel. Chapman and Hall, Strand. The number of this work for the present month, and which nearly completes the s&cond volume, is a continua tion of Egypt and Nubia, by J. A. St. John (being Part 7), and is rep!ete with highly- interesting m4ter relating to these extraordinary countries, their stupendous ruins and monuments of antiquity, their present condition, and the manners and austoms of their inuabitants, together with a narrative of stirring adventures and perils experienced amongst them by the author and others. The descrip tions of many of the ancient temples and palaces, and of much of the scenery on the upper part of the Nile, are pe culiarly graphic, and we do not remember to have derived greater pleasure and information rem any former number of the work than from that before us, which is moreover Ilustrated by fine lig7lette woodcuts. Christ our All in All. London : This is another volume by the Rev. Robert Montgo mery, who issues his works with such rapidity, that were it not that his recent publications contained the substance of discourses previously preached to his flock, at Percy Chapel, we should rnervel how the reverend gentleman, consistently with the performance of his ordinary avoca tions, could find time for the publication of so much in structive and important matter, especially as his writings exhibit, in the main, such contit;uous arguments, such lucid arrangement, and, generally, such classical language. The work is founded on Cul. 3 c. 11th v. ; and in consi dering his subject Mr, Mont emery divides it into three heads, " A mysterious person contemplated," " A vast assertion vindicated," and "A spiritual economy gars trated." In treating this glorious theme the rev author unfolds the scriptural attributes and offices of the blessed Saviour, and with becoming ministerial fidelity proves Him to be the " All in All" to his church, both as regards the government and glory of God, as also the character and salvation of every member of that church. Appended to the volume is the admirable essay which accompanied the author's poem " Luther," entitled " The Reformer and the Reformation." Though the doctrinal views of Mr. Montgomery are associated in some minds with an estrangement from church order and discipline, the sub joined passages will show that in his case (as indeed is the fact with all true evangelical churchmen) a confident be lief in such doctrines is best calculated to bind us firmly to our scriptural establishment. We cannot but admire the following glowing description of the Church of Eng land as respects her relation to the social state of the em pire : " May we not at once assert with a grateful largeness of expression, that she is the spiritual Centre,from whence our domestic morals pre-emint ntly derive their sacred force and beautiful expansion? Circulating, as she does by her varied ministrations, a rich life-blood of celestial influence through the vast framework of the social body, —who shall duly estimate the pervading energy with which she purifies the hearts arid households of the land ? Con sider, for instance, that when on every Sabbath-day she opens in the gospel the gates of mercy to mankind, and causes the freshness and the fragrance of eternity to breathe over the deadness and dryness of our sin-fevered world,—how much of all that constitutes the moral heaven of the coming week—how much of all that is chaste in love, refined in thou:At, exalted in idea, and benevolent in action, might be traced up to the truths she expounds, to the ordinances she ad ministers, and to the motives which she is authorised to supply ? Around her as the sun of our social system, the graces of private life may be said to shine and act; while from her they derive the evangelic beauty of their expres sion, and the philanthropic form of their development. How many crushed hearts does her soothing voice revive! How many chilled and desolated natures does she warm and cheer! flow many dark, doubting, and depraved spirits does she enlighten, convince, and restore! And on the bosom of Jesus how many a threading head has she pillowed in peace! And consider. too, bow finely adapted is her ritual to that varied round of experiences, which are commensurate with the circles of social life. Whether present at the bridal altar, to hallow the bonds of human affection with the principles of divine purity; or placing in the baptismal embrace of the child-loving Redeemer, new-born inflincy ; or hovering with all the watchink eyes of a spiritual mother beside the solemnities of a dying bed; or chanting over the cherished du-t of some departed saint the august requiem of immortality : in a word, whe ther you contemplate social life at the height of action, or in the depth of affliction,—may we nce pour forth a na tional hymn of gratitude to the Most High for the influ ence, the character, anti the principles of the Church of England ? Surely he that toucheth Her toucheth the apple of the Nation's eye !" Nor can we refrain, from extracting the following elo quent appeal in defence of the church's suitability to the nations wants:— _ _ " Against all these varied elements then of existing enmity, (combined in their action though clashing in their principles,) is there ought in the ruling doctrines and ritual apparatus of the Church of England, calculated to make head ? Under God, we believe there is : and in her, we venture to aaert, amid the rising waves of revolution and the tossing sea of popular discontent, the peace, hap piness, and glory of the empire can alone be safely arked. To illustrate this would require a volume ; yet may the whole be concentrated in this one inviolable fact,—the saving principles of our church . are in absolute harmony with the revealed promises of Heaven; and the more the nation is taught to embody the purity of the one in her character, the more she will realize the blessing of the other in her welfare. For demonstrated it may be with the precision of mathematical proof, that " righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." True, in the eye of our church no relation which man bears to this world is forgot ; but it is pre-eminently over the destinies of his eter►ial conscious.:ess that she bends her watchful and unwearied gaze. In order to discipline the infant of time for its manhood in eternity, she per petually brings before the responsible soul its ever-awful relationship to Godhead, in the ti bine aspect of Creator, Redeemer, and Judge : and in all the detail of that super natural hidden life which religion inculcates, there is a celestial provision for counteracting the infection of that lower form of visible and acridly life, which our blended experience must continually !ace. heavenly and holy in deed must that church be, that unteaches human pride before she teaches Livine knowledge—that everywhere subordinates the intellectual to the moral, the temporal to the eternal—and in contrast with the baseness of expe diency, and the vagaries of opinion, authenticates sacred principle as the only sand rd of what is right, and the Word of God as the only test of what is true. Above all, while by her Litany our venera'ed Church interprets the national conscience in reference to sin felt and salvation needed,—what irradiations of j y does she attract from the sanctuary of peace above, %herewith to illumine this blighted world of darkness, graves and tears! Mindful that the begun heaven of the spirit consists in that moral reflecticn of our Maker which holiness begets within, — she ever sets before the eyes of her people the promotion of the Divine glory as the great purpose of their I:ves, and the exhibition of Divine love as the great motive of their hearts ; and teaches them - that not in wealth acquired, not in rank enjoyed, not in the palms of intellect, not in the pursuits of science, but that in spiritual reconciliation with God in the conscience,—the perfective erandeur and ennobling happiness of our nature can be found. Pro foundly indeed does she show the way to be happy, by affording the means how to become holy. And if it can be proved that universal truth is the object of the intel lect, and universal gond the object of the will,—what is the Church of England in her doctrinal voice but the spi ritual echo of this almighty text—" Christ is All and in All?" SELECTIONS. A PILGRIMAGE PERFORMED, YET NOT ACCOMPLISHED. " I remember when I was yet a boy, in Dresden. that the late king. being affliced with a super-delicate senti ment of virtue, ordered al Titian's Vennees, and indeed all other pictorial nuclides, to be ejected from the royal gallery. Never did king or subject better illustrate the truth of an assertion made by a countryman of mine, whose name aas Swift, viz., that a nice man is a man of nasty ideas. The old King of Saxony's religion, too, had something of the hyper-complexion which distinguished his virtue. I can very well recollect all the Romanist por tion of the German Florence being in an ecstacy of admi ration at the announcement that the monarch was about to perform a pilgrimage to the holy sepulchre at Jerusa lem, on foot. A fever of expectation shook the whole line of road, at the idea of beholding a Chri,tian king again turning to the neglected shrine. The expectation was not altogether fulfilled ; but the monarch, neverthe less, performed the pilgrimage." " We never heard of it !" exclaimed the two travellers, looking at each other with manifestations of very great surpise. " That is to say (I resumed), that his majesty performed it after a fashion. He asked the distance from his own country-house, at Pilnitz, to the Armenian convent in the Holy City ; and in spite of his education, he was nothing less than astonished To find that it was something more serious than a promenade to Toplitz. I do not know if he had a vision of boiling his peas, as an English pilgrim did, of whom I can tell you something; but he certainly experienced some unpleasant sensations at th., idea that, the way being so long, he might chance to find himself without peas to boil. He wept at the reflection that he might be a devout, but a hungry king, while one-half of Dresden were solacing their appetites on the terrace of Braila, and the other at the baths of Link and the Bastei. He thought of the dangers, but he would be devout. The attendant pains were great, but the resulting pleasures were not to be denied. In short, he would not go to Je rusalem, but he would perform the pilgrimage. Accord ingly, the exact distance having been learnt, he set out round his room, and walked the entire number of leagues by pacing up and down a long gallery—deducting only the amount of water passage, which was but fair. If ad miration had been great at the commencement, surprising fun was excited during the performance. Every evening the citizens of Dresden knew how far their religious ruler bad proceeded on his way, or how far he would have pro ceeded if he had but set out. Now he was breakfasting in imagination at Breslau—sleeping in fancy at Olmutz— and passing. by a pleasant fiction, through Buda. During two days that his majesty suffered from a real bilious at tack—the result, perhaps, of a Barmecidal repast at Esaek on the Drave—'he king rested at Belgrade while confined to his bed in Dresden. But his holy zeal soon reinvigo rated his liver; and, as he glided by his palace windows, the mystified multitude below learned that the monarch was lodging in the house of the chief mufti at Ist irnboul. The pilgrim traveller suffered a little from the heat (of the room) as he descended from the western coast of Asia . Minor; but the inconveniences of the route were things beneath the thought of him who, whether at Btarsa, Smyr na, or any other locality on his way, could ring his bell in the desert, and order champagne from his own well-pa tronised Hotel de Pologne. The king was puzzled one mid-day (he had. by calculation, just reached Beyrout), that his progress was checked by the unexpected arrival of a portion of the imperial family from Vienna. Visitors of such condition must be attended to—nevertheless, his pilgrimage must be continued ; and he, like the clever and facetious palmer that he was, did both—he attended his guess with much politeness during their stay of two days, and put down the time thus spent as c:msumed in a sea voyage from Beyrout to Acre. The moment they left, the royal pilgrim went ashort again, and happily accomplished the remaining distance to Jerusalem, through Nassara and Nablons, without any other hindrance and obstruc tion than bis going one night to see a French vaudeville. while supposed to be enjoying his well-earned repose at Rama or Muddin. And thus was accomplished that royal pilgrimage that was never performed. The king went to Jerusalem without going there ; and the people saw him return who had never departed. My narration, gentle. men (said 1), is more real than the pilgrimage, which was, however, actually executed as I have told vou."—" Re miniscences of a Ride in a Schnell Wagen.l'—Fraser. LORD ABINGER'S OPINION OF THE MAYNOOTH GRANT.—A letter from the la'o Lord A hinger to Lord Ashley on the grant to Maynooth College, written in 1839, has just been re-published, and from it we take the following extract :—" Though it is an essential part of toleration to permit those who dissent from the religion of the state to educate their children after their own fashion. there ought not to be any system of education at the national expense that does not comprehend as an es sential Dart of it instruction in the estlblished religion. To tolerate is one thing—to cherish and to propagate quite another. The sower of good seed, though he may not separate or gather tl , e tares until the harvest, is not enjoined to sow them with the good seed." SCENERY ON THE NlLE.—Egypt is always singular and interesting ; but under an autumnal sunset it is beautiful. The sun sinks behind groves of palms in a goldsn sky, upon which their most delicate Patherings are distinctly de scribed. A rich amber light glows over the landscape, and makes the meanest and most uncouth objects beauti ful : soon the feeblest star has lighted its lamp, and the black vault of heaven seems thickly studded with brilliants. Such is the purity of the atmosphere, that you may watch a setting star till it touches the low bank of the river. Profound tranquillity reigns through the universe ; or is only broken at intervals by the mellowed murmur of a dis tant water-wheel. The moonlight streams upon the bo som of the ancient river. A beautiful meteoric phenome non heightens the interest of the scene. Ever and anon bright star seems to shoot away from amongst its fixed companions—glances horizontally across the heavens, throwing off a long luminous trail, then, bursting like a rocket, leaves all nature intensely tray-coil as before. But wherefore all night long shine these? for whom This glorious sight, when sleep bath shut all eyes ?" " Millions of spiritual creatures walk the earth Unseen, both when we wake and when we sleep, Celestial voices to the midnight air, Sole. or responsive each to other's note, Hymning their great Creator !" Library of Travel. FATAL EFFECTS OF LITERATURE IN CHINA.—One of my domestics th;s morning was called away by the sudden death of his grandfather, an old man, nearly 80. The immediate occasion of his death was a journey of a hundred miles, in order to attend a literary examination. That such a man should attend as a candidate for literary honours, after perhaps nearly sixty years of unsuccessful application, shows at least ardour in the pursuit of his object. The present case of perseverance, which proved fatal, and similar attempts, , re caused by a good-natured ►aw made by the Emperor Keen-lung, who was a great patron of old people : he decreed 'hat ;Al Sew-tsae gradu ates cf seventy, who would attend but once and go through the exercises after that age, should receive the next de gree, called Keu-jin, by a special act of imperial favour, without any regard to the merit of their essays. But this ►aw, which originated in the most gracious intentions, causes annually, in different u Ills of the country, the death of several persons. The candidates at these exa minations have to sit, whilst composing their essays, two days and two nights at a time, in little sentry boxes, where they cannot lie down. and surrounded by the smoke caused in cooking for them ; and this is repeated thrize— so that altogether they sit up often, in extremely hot wea ther, six nights ! This toil and inconvenience, not at all pleasant to young men, is frequently fatal to the old per sons who attempt - it —Piddinu's Chinese Olio. BORIIWI.ASKI THE DWARF.—I knew Bornwlaski -a a private gentleman. Towards the end of the year 1785, he and his family came to Birmingham, and took possession of a vacant house belonging to my father. and nearly ad joining the one in which we resided. We paid our shil lings. for such was the sum demanded, and we saw Bo ruwlaski. I was so charmed with him, that, with the per mission of my father and mother, I invited him and his family to share our roast betf and plum pudding on Christmas Day. They came; the little gentleman, his wife, and Monsieur de Trouville, the lady's uncle. From this time, 1 sent tht m a regular invitation to tea and supper once in every week during their stay in Bir mingham, I never saw a more graceful man nor a more perfect gentleman than Boruwlaski. He spoke but little English. He uttered the few phrasea he had learned wi. h assumed vivacity, when in public ; but at our fireside, where he was no longer obliged to exert hin self, he was frequently silent, and sometimes sad. Oree, after supper, (unasked of course), he sent for his guitar, and danced a dance of his country to hi. own music, the guitar being sus pended from a ribbon rind round his neck. I cannot imagine it possible to excel either h's performance on the instrument, or the grace and agility of his dancing. Madame Bornwlaski, though born in Poland, was quite a Frenchwoman. She was of a middle size, very In nd sorae, and very lively ' • her dark eyes were p trticularly fine. She spoke English well, and talked much, and laughed, and sang French songs. I should think she was fifteen years younger than her husband, who was then forty-six years of age. She was a woman whom any man might love, but certainly not a woman whom it was pru dent for Bornwlaski to marry. I admired her ; but. ear siderine how she was situated, Ircuid not like her. Their eldest child was still with the Mar, rave of Anspaeh, the two others were with their parent.. The elder, a most lovely and charming little creature, was frequently with us ; the younger was an infant in is mother's arms. In 1807, I was at a sea-hathine place on the northern, coast of Yorkshire, where I met with a lady from the neighbon , - hood of Durham ; and Boruwlaski being accidentally mentioned, I expressed a great desire to know what had become of him. " I can tell you," said the lady; "he lives at Durham, and is much respected. His savings, and a subscription among us,havc enabled him to ict ep house, and haveawoman servant. He walks along unnoticed and alone; _ _ and if I, or any other of his friends, chance to see him, we join him, and take his hand instead of his arm." I need not say that 1 had great satisfaction in learnimg that this extraordinary and deserving little man was allowed to pass his latter days in repose and independence, atter a life of such exertion and anxiety. He was now sixty eight years of age. Time passed on. I sometimes thought of Boruwlaski, but 1 always concluded that he was dead; and great was my astonishment u hen, in 1821, 1 beard that he was not only living, but in London ; and that, at the age of eighty-two, this apparently fragile being had travelled 259 miles. He died in 1837, at the age of ninety-eight. —Berilltyls Miscellany. SIR ROBERT AND THE CHURCH. — Sir Robert seem.. to have forgotten that the present royal family was placed on the throne chiefly for the support of the Protestant as cendency; then, how can he reconcile it to his consci ence, as the minister of that crown, to endow that faith which will ruin his royal- mistress if it gain the ascen dancy ; and which it will probably do, if he continue to oppress the Church of England as it is now oppressed ? Whilst be is thus exalt . ng the Papists, what means of de fence has he left in the power of the Church of England ? Where are her legislative assee:blies ?—they do not exist. Where is the independence of the catbedrals?—in the hands of commissioners. Where are the tithes?—forced from her by a violent commutation. Where are the church rates ?—refused by the law courts. Where are her poor members ?—forced from her protection by the Poor Law Commissioners. Where are her registers ? crossed by the national entries of births without baptism. Where are her marriages ?—transferred to the registration office. Where are her parishes I—on the point of being absorbed in the unions. Where are the church schools ? there has been an attempt to transfer them to the home secretary. And if ye may judge from the success of their schemes in Ireland, the attempt will be repeated in Eng land. Can any reasoning person after this enumeration doubt the schemes of government ? Is not the direction of events too marked to be mistaken; In another gene ration, the forced commutation of tithes will pass through a second forced form ; and the established clergy—once an estate of the realm, and an estate of parliament—will be pensioners of the sate, dependent on the frowns and smiles of ministers. Sir Robert Peel, in speaking of the Irish tithe. has expressly declared himself on this point; and when he has created the same overwhelming neces sity for England, which his wily confessions have brought to pass in Ireland, an overwhelming necessity introducing Sir Robert's plaes will absorb all things. No churchman —no Protestant can ever trust Sir Robert. No English farmer or landowner can believe what he says ; and what is far worse, Sir Robert cannot trust himself. He has advanced on theory as to all things too far to recede ; he has tampered with a variety, and complexity, and exten sion of affairs too vast for the comprehension of any one man ; and unless he is removed from office, England will be made to pay the price of his presumption and his ex periments.—Church and Stile Gazelle. THE TEMPLE OF LUXOR.—At a few hundred yards from the river is the temple of Luxor, the first object that strikes the eye on approaching Thebes. It stands on an artificial foundation, sufficiently elevated to place it above the inundation. We turned into the Arab village imme diately before it, and approached it on the north side. A stupendous propylon, more than two hundred feet broad, and eighty feet high, gives entrance to the temple. Two colossal statues, half buried in the sand, are placed against the propylon •, and immediately in front of them were two beautiful obelisks, eighty feet in height, anti covered with hieroglyphics, cut in the eranite, near two inches deep, with a finish and niceness of touch that is as fresh now as when first sculptured. One of these obelisks is now in the Place de la Concords at Paris ; the other maintains its original position. The whole surface of the propylon is covered with representations of battle scenes, cut in inta glio rilievata. The prodigious number of human figures, horses, and chariots, is no less astonishing than the spirit and animation which pervade the whole. It is a speak ing picture, and excites the most vivid emotions of sym pathy with the vanquished. and exultation with the proud victors, that are seen riding in triumph over the battle field. The flight of the enemy, the rapid pursuit, the con tending cohorts, the rise and fall of glittering standards, denoting the alternations of success and repulse, the in vincible victor of the day, discharging clouds of javelins from his chariot, the fiery steeds of which are urging their way over the bodies of the slain, with all the tumult. shock, and confusion of a great battle, are depicted upon the wall of the propylon with a spirit and truth that may rival the happiest efforts of the pencil. This is a most in teresting historical picture of ancient warfare. The hero, whose glories are here so vividly celebrated, is most pro bably Sesostris, whose victorious car, if we believe the an cient writers, rode in triumph over all the known regions of the world. Passing under the portal of the propylon, we entered into a court, two hundred and thirty-four feet long by one hundred and seventy-four feet wide, where the remains of a double range of pillars, with the bell-shaped capital, are still to be seen. This court is much obstructed by an Arab village built within it, the huts of which, erected against the walls and columns, much impair the effect of the whole. A portion also serves as a magazine of grain. Beyond this court are other propylaea, behind which is a double row of seven columns, with lotus capitals, each twenty-two feet in circumference. This row of columns conducts into a court one hundred and sixty feet long, and one hundred and forty wide, terminated at each side by a row of pillars. Beyond this is another portico, of thirty two columns, and then follows the sanctuary, or inner most part of the temple. It is impossible. by description, to give an adequate idea of these extensive ruins. The temple of Luxor is supposed to be of great antiquity. Vast cost and labour were expended in its construction ; and though it does not equal the grandeur of Karnak, it exhi bits much of that gigantic architecture which character ises ail the works of the Egyptians, and displays a finish and skill in its sculptures that denote a highly-advanced period of art. The interior of the t , mple is, however, so much filled up with sand-heaps and Arab huts, that it is impossible to get an idea of it in its original state. The exterior colonnades remain in almost unbroken lines, while the interior is completely unroofed and ruined. It is still the skeleton of a magnificent temple.—Lib. of Tray. SKETCH OF THE PREMlER.—Sometimes a sturdy Ra dical, or an indignant agriculturist, determines to catch the eel by the tail and electrify him. He puts some plain, direct question, and demands an answer. You think Sir Robert must now,he fairly posed, his veil must be rent, parties must soon resume their old habits, for he must say something positive on which a war-cry can be raised. He rises, leans forward on the table, playing with his glasses, or puts his hands under the tails of his blue frock coat; and, in the most open and candid way, declares his determination to answer frankly the question that has been put to him. This is satisfactory, it propitiates. All are on the qui vice. There is hushed silence; all heads are stretched forward in expectation of the announcement of policy. Perhaps Lord John Russell and Lord Palmer ston exchange a glance or ensile of incredulity, for they know their man. Meanwhile the soft bland voice has poured itself forth, its faintest tone heard in the most re mote corner, the bearing bespeaks a full consciousness of the responsibility of the duty of the moment, the face wears the placid expression of innocence. You are fairly preporsessed for such a man. But what is he saying? By that cheer from Mr. Cobden and his Sancho, Mr. Bright, he appears to have said something pleasant to the manu facturers. But that roar of delight from the other side? Oh, be has convulsed the country gentlemen by some well-timed compliment to agriculture. Another cheer, more general, is the reward of some pompous maxim of ' the public good. It is clear the house has warmed to him. The more kindly they entertain, the more candid grow the speaker's tones, the mere earnest is he to do the best which the state of things allows. An elaborate statement follows of the different courses open to him, of their se veral advantages and disadvantages, in all of which he adroitly rouses the prejudices slumbering for the moment around him, and establishes a sympathy with each ; cen tering hopes in himself, and setting old hatreds against each other, until, having thus led the various parties into a mental melee, he winds up with an • upon the whole,' leading, with pompous affectation of resolve, to a declara tion of what he means to do, which, in fact, comprises— in an artful woof of phrases, sounding, but bodiless—al. most every thing that he does not mean to do. Meanwhile he has skilfully diverted the attention of all from the real point at issue, to their mutual jealousies and asperities. Ten to one lie sits down ' amidst loud cheers,' having ut tered much, but avowed nothing. It may be asked, how can such a body be so transparently cajoled ? The answer is, it is done—done every day, in almost every speech ; and. the more it is done, the more they seem to like it." —Fraser. MELANCHOLY FATE OF ONE OF THE HEROES OF WA TERLOO.—Mans in the first returning force from Cabool will carry to their graves the recollection of the Jelum's treacherous ford. But a few marches more, and the force expected to be within the provinces ; it had reached the banks of the Jeluna, or ancient Hydaspes, and, to point out the ford, stakes bad been driven diagonally into the bed of the river. Next morning, the advance-guard crossed, and discovered that the river had risen from six to eight inches during the night : the additional power produced upon troops crossing may, therefore, easily be conceived. It was considered necessary, however, to at tempt it with the main body. Each took the stream with his own corps; horses ree►ed, quivered, and snorted in terror, losing a footing at one moment, and regaining it the next ; the crisis required presence of mind, as even a good swimmer might not have reached the further shore amid struggling horsemen and trampling columns. Be hind was rt troop of European lancers, and, anxious not to be detained by the infantry, thee had entered the tiger some few yards too low down. Ere they had got mid channel, their horses were swamped; heads of horses and riders alone were above the water, except when, by a ter rific effort, some charger almost sprang from out of it. Then occurred a fearful scene : the immediate struggle of man and beast for life itself. There was an old man. whose life had been spent !n arms, who had fought in Spain and Portugal, and on whose breast hung the silver badt-,e of Waterloo. tie was an old officer to be only in command of a troop. He snuggled well, often lifted his powerful horse with hand and knee, and the medal of Napoleon's last fight ever and anon appeared above the current ; but these exertions only expended the strength of both, end at last he gave it up. Oh ! to see the old man's grey locks floating on the oily eddy, as he and his charger sank to gether! it was horrible !

THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND NEVER SUBJECT TO ISOM R.--lt is clear that the Church of England is not, in the sense in which many of the Protestant actions may he so c , nsidered, the offspring of the Beformltoti. She had an existence in this coun'ry prior to ,he introduction of Popery, and she never thoroughly submitted to Rome. When Augustine came into England, he was resisted by tie remnant of the British Church in his endeavour to impose the yoke of Gregory upon the priests of Bangor. The Anglo• Saxons did not completely recognize the su premacy of the Romish Pontiff, nor admit the doctrine of transubstantiation ; and it was the knowledge of this, doubtless, that induced Alexander 11. to favour the en terprise of the conqueror, hoping by that means to receive in return the obedience of the nation, which, in its un conquered condition. had refused to acknowledge his authority. The suEmisu ion of England to Rome was the act of her Norman conqueror, and not of the people; and it may be well conceiv. d, that, the bulk of she'popuhvion being Saxon, these regarded the recognition of the Papal supremacy, not as a matter of religious faith, but as one of the hard conditions of their conquered estate. The rule of Rome and the domination of the Normans were by them put into the same category. The higher bene. 'Ha: LIVERPOOL STANbARD. fives of the Church were bestowed upon ecclesiastics of a foreign origin ; and, although the fiery passions and selfish nterests of the Norman kings prevented the state from becoming ultramontane, the clergy were in general the slaves of Rome. Between these dignitaries, whose inter ests were those of a class obnoxious to the lend and the people, there was no sympathy ; and whoever reads the history of the times will see, in the indignant and frequent memorials of wrong and grievance suffered by the laity at the hands of their spiritual lords, which were sent to the higher authorities, both the amount of irritation that ex isted and the just grounds for its existence. That the conqueror and his immediate descentlan's did not recog nize the supremacy of the Pope is evident. Hildebrand, i. e. Gregory VII., in 1079, sent to William, one Herbert, an under-deacon of the Roman Church, and a monk named Teuzon. demanding that the king should take the usual oath of fidelity and submission to the Pope, and pay the usual tribute. He answered, " that he granted the one, but refused the other. As to the oath of fidelity, I (said he) have not been willing, nor am I now willing to take it, because I never promised, and I do not find that my ancestors have taken it." The money was however sent ; the king apologizing for its deficiency, on the ground of its having been carelessly collected during his stay in France. The Pope complained to Lanfranc ; but the pre late could only answer by expressing his sorrow that, though the king would pay the money, there was no hope of his yielding the homage. The controversies of the successors of the conqueror with the Papal see, especially in the matter of Becket, are sufficiently known. —Church of England Quarterly Review. AN ARTFUL DODGER.—Among the cleverest of the Ro man picture-dealers is Signor A., a most fair-spoken fel low and facetious withal, who, conscious of his own ta lent, is ever ready to adduce some instance of its happy exercise. 'Tis but a year or two since he made a whole sale transaction, which in a short half-hour, transferred to a young Irish peer the accumulated .übbish of his maga zine. At the lucky moment of tailor's visit, there arrived a liveried servant with an official-looking missive, which A. apologised tor opening, and after glancing at it, said, " Very good, but I have no time now to look at your pic tures ; come again." The servant hesitated, and to the inquiries of the stranger, A. said it was only the particu lars of a lot of pictures which had been sent to him for sale, the heritage of an old Bolognese family, but that he had never had leisure to open the boxes, which must stand over until he could attend to the matter. On his lordship pressing to have a sight of them. A. reluctantly opened the cases, protesting that it was of no use, as it would take much time to clean and arrange and value this collection, before which, of course, the pictures were not for sate. The list exhibited Guidos, Domenichinos, Ca raccis, Carlo Dolces,—in short, just that class of names which impose upon an Anglican amateur,—and the dingy ca ,vasses were freely acknowledged to be so completely obscured by dirt and old varnish, that their merits were undistinguishable. The more the dealer seemed anxious to divert his customer to the brightly vanished ornaments of his own walls, the less willing was he to lose sight of this singular chance of procuring" a genuine gallery ready made," and ere the parties separated, a transfer was made to the peer of a mass of trash which scarcely merited the outlay of cleaning, in exchange for a thousand louis-d'or. A still bolder coup-de-main was successfully played off by the same worthy some years before, at the expense of an experienced purchaser and acknowledged connoisseur. He persuaded the late Mr. Coesvelt to look at a picture of high pretensions and some merit in his house. Whilst they were discussing it, the jingle of posting bells was heard in the street, and the proloneed crack of a courier's whip echoed in the doorway. A. started, rushed out, and beheld an express, booted, spurred, and splashed. who handed him a letter. Tearing it open, he appeared struck with confusion, and exclaimed, Well, here is a fine scrape I have got into." " What is the matter ?" " Why I am talking of selling you this picture, arid here is the courier from Ancona to buy it, by a Russian gentleman to whom I offered it last week, for such a sum." The price was a large one, and Mr. Coesvelt would not have thought of giving it for the picture, which did not interest him much ; but so cleverly did A. contrive to transfer to it the interest of this dramatic scene, that, in the excitement of the moment a bargain was struck • and our countryman went off delighted at the idea of having done the Russian —the latter being an imaginary personage, and his courier a Roman pdstboy, hired to gallop up in the nick of time ! Foreign Quarterly Review. ASPECT OF POPERY IN ENGLAND.—In Eeglaad, Ro manism wears its most courtly dress, and speaks in most gentle accents. All that can ensnare a fastidious taste, or charm a generous disposition, is brought forward ; tales of ancient faith and holy martyrdom are told in win ning words, and every thing that is graceful in antiquiay claimed as an integral element in the constitution of the Rom;sh Church. Charity is the phrase that is ever on her lips, and she would fain persuade men that it is with a breaking heart she seeks them, that the erring children may be restored to a suffering mother; but to him who, in the first impulse of a confiding nature, has listened to her voice and believed her testimony, how sad and start ling is the conviction which a closer acquaintance with the reality must ever bring ? Ancient faith and holy martyr dom were in the days when Romanism was unknown ; persecution and cruelty have marked her sway since she came into existence, and the mam rs who have fallen have suffered at her hands; she has been no sharer of her Lord's sorrow, but a despiser of his grief, and a writer of his children. She has seized upon the intellectual Neut. ties and genius of every ae,e through which she has passed, as appliances of her regal state and the tribute to her worldly dignity : she has enriched herself with the mer chandize of souls, which she has sold into dark•!ess, that she might revel in wealth and earthly grandeur. Llz any man who would put faith in her professions f charity and maternal love cast his eye over the record of the Inquisi tion : let him remember the years of persecution to which she has submitted the children of God, and the blood she has shed : let him reckon up the anathemas of the Coun cil of Trent : let him steadily consider every indication which the present century has afforded of the hnchangea hie nature of her spirit, and let him judge, how for she who speaks of charity can feel it—how far she, with the word of love in her mouth, and the blow of cruelty in her hand, can ever have humanity at heart. Men may talk as they will of schism and heresy. 'Where can more he found than those which Rome has harboured ? Men may mourn with maudlin sentiment over the evils of the Reformation, and cast their small censures upon the mighty spirits who, under God, brought it to pass. What would Christendom have been without the Reformation, but a corrupting mass of spiritual wickedness and abomination ? And it ill becomes those who breathe the atmosphere of Christian liberty, and intellectual freedom, to despise the men who purchased the privilege which they enjoy with their own life's blood and labour. If men will know what. Ron an ism is, let them not learn it from the holiday phrases and scholastic sophisms of Oscott theses, or of Oxford tracts ; but let them look at it in the face of Rome : let them mark it in the full exercise of its degrading influence in B- lgium : let them gather it from the tra-h which the Jesuits sell, and the debasing doctrines which too many of the eccle siastical dignitaries of France sanction.—Church of Eng land Quarterly Review.
