MEETING OF THE INCORPORATED SOCIETY FOR THE PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL IN FOREIGN PARTS. On Tuesday at twelve o'clock, a meeting of the members and friends of the above society was held at the Music-hall 3 in Bold-street. At the opening of the proceedings the attendance was but scanty, but shortly afterwards the numbers were so far aug mented that the room was completely filled. The Rev. Rector Brooks took the chair, in compliance with previous arrangement. On the platform, and in its im mediate vicinity, we observed the Rev. Rector Campbell, the Rev. Archibald Montgomery Campbell, Rev. Hugh Stowell, Rev. Hugh M•Neile, Rev. "Fielding Ould, Rev. It. P. Bud dicom, Rev. John North, Rev. J. B. Monk, Rev. Robert Davies, Rev Mr. Wray, Rev. James Hassell, Rev. C. Law rence, Rev. Mr. Leicester, Rev. R. Bold, Rev. I'. S. Bow stead.- Rev. Edward Oldfield, Rev. R. L. Townsend, Rev. E. Bates, Rev. T. G. Leigh, Rev. T. C. Gladwin, Rev. R. Gardner, Rev. C. Morrall, Rev. NV. Hesketh, Rev. J. H. Stafford, Rev. R. L. Pain, Rev. J. Cheetham, Rev. John Jones, Rev. J. Picton. Rev. P. Crawford, Rev. R. Appleton, Rev. T. Hatton, Rev. R. Mclver, Rev. William Maynard, Rev. Dr. Tattershall, Rev. W. Gibson, and several other clergymen; Messrs. Adam Hodgson, T. B. Horsfa ll, David Hodgson, W. Jones, J. B. Clough, Cyrus Morrall, C. Groves, T. Porfer, Samuel Holme, and others. At the request of the Chairman, the Hey. Rector Campbell opened the meeting with a short and appropriate prayer. The Rev. CHAIRMAN said, in opening the business of the day, he would concisely state the object of the society, and the reasons which induced them to make a general appeal throughout the kingdom at the present moment. He believed he was right in conjecturing that to the majority of those pre sent this society had, till recently, been unknown. He must suppose that the people of this town were entirely ignorant of its merits, or he was confident there would have been a much larger attendance. Its claims to the sympathy of the people at large, but more particularly to those of the national church, were very great, as it had extended its influence over the greatest part of the known world. That influence had com menced in North America, and extended to India. Its claims had, for a length of time, been acknowledged by the govern ment, and during a number of years a sum of money was an nually voted for the propagation of the gospel, the govern ment making this society its almoner in the expenditure thereof. For reasons and motives w Bich-it did not fall within his dut y to investigate, this amount had been withdrawn by the legislatnre, and unfortunately it was withdrawn at a time when it was more than ever wanted, from the claim upon their exertions in the .7.ast and West India Colonies and in Aus tralia, to the Protestant inhabitants of which they ought to feel an interest in communicating that Word which was so much required. When their means was so much reduced, they had only one of two alternatives, —either to give up the work in despair, or to appeal to the liberality of the great mass of the people of this country. He hoped all those who were assembled there that day would feel bound to support, by their contributions as well as by urging the consideration of their friends, a society which had been the means of esta blishing the hierarchy of the Church of England in the East and West Indies, in North America and in Australia. The rev, chairman concluded by calling upon the Rev. Rector Campbell to move the first resolution. The Rev. Rector CAMPBELL having read the resolution, (for a copy of which , as well as of all the other resolutions, we refer ti - the advertisement,) said, as he was sure his name sake, the secretary for the parent society, would have much interesting information to , give them, he would not trespass long upon their time. He would confine himself simply to the proposition, that the .society was entitled to the cordial support of every consistent Churchman. He would endea vour first to obviate the preliminary objection taken by some, that they ought not to expend their means oa foreign missions, when they had so many calls at home. He would not under estimate the responsibility at which this observation was di rected, as he wished they were more awake to the necessity and propriety of building schools and edifices for worship, as the citadels and strongholds of religion. (Cheers.) He wished they were able to produce funds sufficiently ample to enable them to pay efficient clergymen to act as school masters to the people. But he could not admit, that because they had to preach the Gospel at home, they were not to preach it abroad. They must not, because they had one duty to do, neglect another. If they were well supplied with the good things of the Gospel at home, it was not proper that they should neglect others who were not equally blessed; they were rather bound to suffer every one, as far as possible, to partake of the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table. It was said, " Why waste your mo ne y on foreign objects, when there is so much to do at home?" 'They were not foreign objects—they were national objects; for it was their wish to send the light of the Word to those who were obliged to leave this country to seek their subsistence on a foreign shore. They wished to spread the doctrines of that pure church which was established here; to preach that true Protestant and tolerant Christian Church with which we were blessed; to distribute that excellent book of Common Prayer • to diffuse that form of worship which we reverence as the best encouragement to practical holiness and charity in this life, and the sure guide to brighter worlds than this beyond the grave. He thought they of the Church of Eng land ought to be animated by a feeling of holy jealousy, when they saw what was done to promote the spread of its doctrines in foreign parts by the Church of Rome. (Hear, and cheers.) He was not going to enter into the discussion of the Popery question : he would be sorry to take that out of abler hands. (Loud cheers.) When they considered the situation of the clergy in Canada—when they were told that the British government paid from £ 5OO to £ I,OOO per annum each for the support of Catholic bishops abroad, he hoped the Protestant clergymen would not be permitted to starve; and if the government would not take care of the clergy, he hoped the people would do it themselves. (Cheers.) He earnestly requested that each of them would contribute to this society according to the power which they possessed. As treasurer to the society for this district, he urged them to contribute in annual subscriptions, which would be received in any amount, according to the ability of the subscribers. (Cheers.) The Rev. ARCHIBALD MONTGOMERY CAMPBELL, secre tary to the parent society, in allusion to the latter part of the speech of the reverend junior rector, said, from no town in the empire had the society received more support than from Liverpool. The particular reason for which the society had desired him to attend this and other meetings was detailed in the report. The question was• whether the great colonial empire of Britain should be Christian or Infidel—whether in those dominions Christianity should be taught in any form whatever, he meant in any form but according to that of the Church of Rome. The present period was a crisis in which ever direction they turned their attention. If the crisis ter minated favourably, it was well, but if unfavourably, Christi anity would be totally extinguished. He need not say how this applied to Canada. A new constitution was in course of formation there, and if a provision were made for religion it was well if not, it would be an opportunity suffered to pass away, the advantage of which could not be regained, With regard to Australia there was a crisis there also, from the changes that were to take place in respect to sending con victs. In the West Indies the emancipation of the negroes had caused the commencement of a new epoch which ren dered the present moment a crisis as regarded those colonies. This was almost a most important and interesting epoch in India, which urged them to rise and be doing in that land. The subject had been spoken of for a whole century without anything material having been done for religious instruc tion. It ought to be that the first thing provided for a colony should be religious instruction. With the first ship load of colonists, there should be not only a governor and officers, but a minister to support and comfort them. As the colonists increased so ought the number of those who could administer to their most important 'xants, their spiritual wel fare, to be increased also. This had always been admitted to be the duty of the govern ment. By the Canada act one seventh portion of the land was set apart for the benefit of the clergy. The rev. gentleman here gave an outline of the history of the progress of the clergy in Canada during the war. The clergy reserves, he said, had not yet been pro ductive, but they were a rich store in prospective. The go vernment made annual grants of money for their support till the amount reached £16,000. It had been argued that the people of England were not called upon to pay for the reli gious instruction of the people of Canada out of their taxes. This on a first glance looked plausible enough, but those who thus reasoned left out of sight that the money was not paid for the instruction of those long resident in Canada, but for British emigrants. (Hear.) Not for those settlers who went out 50 or 200 years ago, but for their countrymen, who, to the number of 501,000, every year, emigrated to those colonies. Many of them were sent °M e at the expense of their respective parishes in this country to those places where land was abundant, and labour wanting. It was a difficult thing to say that we should send out our superabundant population, and that the settled colonists ought to provide them with schoolmasters. They were sent there to save our own pockets, and the religious provision for them was a debt which we were called upon to liquidate. They were sent away from us because we were peopled; we sent them away from all that was dear to them, and we would refuse to let them have that which was most dear, the means of edification and grace. The Bishop of Nova Scotia had stated the dif ficulties which were to be contended with from the want of clergy. They were followed, by fathers of families, who with tears in their eyes begged of them to furnish pastors. One man, a father of a sendfamily , who ad beento save bred a Presbyterian, begged him to his children from - infidelity, for he had not been visited by a teacher of religion for twenty years. (Hear, hear.) Ihe Itoiriin catholics were taking advantage of this state of things, and numbers, for want of protestant pastors, were becoming members of the church of Rome. The result would be, that they had founded a mi g hty empire, the people of which were Britons in blood, but different in religion; it would be an empire godles s and worthless. There might be a few scattered efforts made to keep alive the true faith, bat nothing effectual. (Hear.) In Newfoundland tbe state of things was even worse than this, and it was the same in Australia, with this difference, that there were convict colo nies there. We, for our comfort and satisfaction, sent our felon population to found an empire in Australia. The rev. gentleman alluded to the parliamentary documents under the late inquiry, and asked those who had read them if they had ever conceived anything worse than the state of those coin pies. We kept sending out annually six thousand felons to Australia. We did not allow those colonies to mend. As it was remarked by Judge Coleridge, we did not allow the ferment to purify itself, but kept adding largely to it by new materials of corruption. The rev. g entleman went on to ex press his satisfaction that it had ben decided to keep the felons in our own country. He believed it would be seen that it might have been as cheap to build churches and schools to their instruction as to keep them in penitentiaries. The Rev. gentleman made allusion to a passage in a speech of Lord Brougham, which, be said, displayed the most un qualified ignorance. Lord Brougham had stated in the most positive language, that all the religious instruction in the 'West Indies had been communicated by others than those connected with the church. He did not think this figure of speech (hear and a laugh) was an intentional misrepresen tation, hot he believed it to be the result of profound and utter ignorance. t Hear.) Mr. Campbell next proceeded to give a sketch of the progress of religious instruction in I n dia, Since 1813, he said, religious education had made some progress in India. The Hindoos were taught at the Hindoo colleges; they learned English, and with a know ledge of English literature came a knowledge of religion. In allusion to Rammahun Roy, the rev. secretary said he thought the christianity of that individual problematical, because he knew that he had said, when be wished to send his son to England for education, that he did not like to entrust him to the c are of any of the sects who had offered. He did not like to entrust him to the Baptists, for they would make a Baptist of him ; he did not like to entrust hint to the bishop, (the learned and pious Bishop Heber,) who had offered to take charge of him, because he would cause lihn to become a member of the church of England. "I do not want him to be brought up in any sect," sai d he, "I want him to learn bow to make a steam-engine." (Hear, hear.) Ihe society, instead of flinching, was prepared to double its expenditure, by the aid of the people of Great Britain. The preserit call was made, in tt.e first instance, by the archbishop to th e bishops, and by them through the deacons to the clergy, who were requested to urge the cause upon the attention of their congregations. The resolution was put by the Chairman, a nd carried. unanimously. The Rev. R. P. Bub otcom proposed the second resolution• The Rev. M. Campbell had stated that there was a crisis in the affairs of the great colonies to which the resolution al luded. Military men had stated that in every battle there was a point of time and circumstances which they called the crisis. All the event hinged upon that point, and it was then that every exertion ought to be used to bring the conflict to a successful issue. He thought we were arrived at that time with respect to the colonies, and it was now time, when the Catholics were already making such efforts, for every indivi doal in this Protestant country, as well as the clergy, to use their best exertions. He had read a letter from the Arch deacon of Newfoundland, who mourned over the decay of Protestantism in that place; for, while they could not get any help for the Established Church, there had just been a vent of eleven acre 4 pf fine land, for the purpose of building ~-~, - ~ ~~. ~:, a cathedral, a palace, and a monastery for the Catholics. The reverend gentleman concluded by an earnest appeal to the assembly to support the society in their efforts. The Rev. HUGH DPISTHILE rose to second the resolution, and was loudly cheered. He said, the resolution which he bad been requested to second affected two facts, and des cribed a duty as resulting from these facts. The facts were, first, that the government grant had been, withdrawn from the society, and, second, that the society bad undertaken to contribute towards the maintenance of forty additional cler gymen : and the duties described as resulting from these facts were, that all who wished to preserve Protestantism in Canada, should supply, by voluntary contributions, the defi ciency caused in the society's funds by the withdrawal of the government ;rant. if be rightly apprehended the two ob jects of the meeting, it was to press on every individual pre sent his or her share of this duty. And further, by means of the report of the meeting, to influence in the same way such as were not there present to hear the statements made. It had not been deemed sufficient merely to state the facts in calling the meeting; a design was manifested from appeal ing and urging from those facts • and surely with the resolu tion before him, approved by their respected secretary, he should not be travelling away from the subject—he should not be going out of his record, as the lawyers expressed it, if he endeavoured to appeal to these facts stated in the resolu tion; first, that the government grant had been withdrawn, and, second, that the society had undertaken to contribute towards the support of forty clergymen. But before he ven tured to touch on such an agitating topic as the withdrawal of the government grant from the society—before he ven tured to allude to the Christian wisdom of the increase of the grant, or the anti-Christian folly of its determination, (hear) he wished to meet and to repel the slanderous objections by which they would be assailed at home, as turbulent intruders into public political matters. He was glad to have an oppor tunity of so doing, before that large and respectable assembly of his fellow townsmen—he was happy to say so enlar g ed s ince the chairman had first addressed the assemb l y , that his complaint had ceased respecting the then attendance, and was turned into a congratulation at their full room. (Hear.)f Now, if it were desirable to maintain true religion at all, whether in England or in the colonies, then it was equally desirable to use the proper means for so doing. It was en thusiasm in its most objectionable sense, to expect ends with out means; while it was practical wisdom to anticipate that if means be fully used, the appropriate ends would follow. What, then, were the legitimate means to be used for the maintenance and propagation of true religion? He thought they were of a twofold character : first, the statement of truth, and, second, the exposure of falsehood. This twofold cha racter had marked the labours of the faithful servants of God from the beginning. The father of the faithful himself was not only a witness for the true God, but also a witness against idolatry. Moses was not only an inspired advocate for the delivery of the Israelites from bondage, but also the inspired censurer of the king of Egypt. The prophets were not only the advocates of God's word, but also the sharp rebukers of governors. John the Baptist was not only a preacher of the word of God, but a reprover of vice—so sharp and pungent in the case of a king and queen, that he lost his head in the service of God. Our Lord Jesus Christ was not only a teacher of truth, but a controverter of falsehood. His ministry contained a series of controversial discussions against the Sadducees, who, not knowing the power of God, nor the principles of truth, denied the first principles of reli gion ; against the political fraud of the Herodians, who tried to entangle him in his talk, and against the hypocrisy of the Scribes and Pharisees, who magnified the traditions of men into religious commandments, and thereby made void the commands of God. The inspired Apostles were controver sialists: they were not sent to speak the truth directly—they were not only scrupulously appointed to feed the flock of God, but they were also watchmen called to warn men of the dangers they had to encounter on earth. He need scarcely say that these things were written for their learning. Every true Evangelist was compelled therefore also to become a contro versialist; and for this simple reason, that not only was true religion not natural to man, hut falsehood, in some one or other of its shapes, was natural to man. True religion meet not only with one indisposed to receive it, but with a pre-oc cupied soul; they had, therefore, not only to plant what was right, but to root up and pluck out what was wrong. There was no new thing under the sun. They were at that moment surrounded with the counterpart of the ancient Sadducees, who not knowing the scriptures, nor the' power of God, de nied the very statements of true religion; they were also sur rounded with Herodians, who desired by raising a cry of po litical parsons to neutralize their advocacy, when they could not answer their arguments.—(Hear.) They were also sur rounded with Pharisees and Scribes, who having no spiritu ality, and yet desiring to have a character for religion, mag nified man's traditions into religions duties, pressing them upon human authority, and by these traditions of men making void the glorious gospel of the grace of God. What should they do then? Should they refrain from all controversial testimony, and so leave matters alone, or should they modify their testimony, and then dignify their temporising trem blings with the name of discretion and prudence? Should they become useless in order to remain peaceable? Should they withdraw the pungent controversial testimony . to which they were called, and become really traitors to their God, in order that they might continue apparently charitable amongst men? Their repudiating all such things was utterly un worthy of them. Should they stand forward and speak out ? Should they maintain their cause boldly against all those sur rounding mischiefs,. against the sneer of the scoffer, showing how little argument he had for it, aaainst the sneer also of the wily politician, and refusing their statement to render unto God the things that are God's, seeing that their glorious mas ter had said - also, tender unto Caesar' the things that are Caesar's ; and also against the Pharasaical formalist and Scribe, who could change the simplicity of the word of God, for the cold and stupifying and wordly paralysis of the tradi tions of men. He thought their course was fixed; they in effect had but one course ; their course was plain, they were put in trust for the defence of the gospel, and as ministers of the church, he conceived they had but one course. They came then to those facts stated in the resolution, that from a society whose sole and glorious object it was to propagate the gospel of Christ in the colonies of Great Britain, the govern ment of Great Britain had withdrawn all national support, or nearly all. He said nearly all because there remained a -paltry residue, of which he must say that the residue was as characteristic of cowardice as the taking of all the rest was of meanness. He now referred to a part of a speech spoken in the House of Commons—and admirably well spoken—by Mr.Par tington. • (The rev. speaker here read a long extract from Mr. Partington's speech, stating the first origin of the Episcopalian Church in Canada, and that one-seventh of the Canadas were then set apart as clergy reserves. This, though more than required if the lands had been cultivated, and made to yield a return • from the lands not being so cultivated, was not found sufficient, and a grant for the propagation of the gospel was made to the extent of £16,000 per annum. This was continued till 1832, when it was repealed, and ordered to be gradually reduced by £4OOO per annum, and it had been so reduced till 1835, when it would have ceased, but the go vernment found, if they carried out the restriction, the distress caused thereby, and the public indignation would be so strong that they did not dare to take it away.) This was what he alluded to as characteristic of cowardice. If they thought their vote right, why did they not carry it into execution ; if they did not like to carry it into execution, why did they not boldly set it aside, instead of doing it sub silentio. This was what he called cowardice. Mr. Partington having made this statement, proceeded to say, " I cannot suppose that her Majesty's ministers have been actuated by anything like hostility to the Protestant Church in Canada, but I believe them to have acted incautiously." He was willing to make the utmost allowance for parliamentary courtesy. He ad mired too, exceedingly, the avowal of their reverend friend the secretary of the society,_ who had designated—what cer tainly wore a strange appearance in a man whose boast was universal knowledge—as a, form of speech, or as,ignorance, a statement to which simpler minds, giving the noble lord (Brougham) credit for understanding a subject on which he had been inquiring for many years, would have designated with a very different word. He would not name it, but it was impossible not to think it. Parliamentary courtesy did not say what it thought, but it very often thought what ought to be said; and he wanted them to think what ought to be said, though lie should not say it. (" Hear," and laughter.) He did not believe that her Majesty's ministers had any ab stract hatred of Protestantism, or any abstract love of Po pery, but he did believe that her Majesty's ministers loved place better than Protestantism. (Loud cheering and clap ping of hands.) Ile supposed that if they could retain their places by doing Protestant acts they would prefer it; but when it came to the point, and they must be either pro-papists or ex-ministers, then it was their pocket and not their con science—no, it was not their pocket, but it was their con science that was discovered to be composed of squeezeable materials. (Loud cheers and laughter.) One of them, a noble lord, with whom they had specially to do in the busi ness before them, a noble lord who presided over the destinies of the colonial interests of this mighty empire, in all the dig nified composure and tranquillity of a gentle and graceful slumber—(laughter)—this noble lord was reported in the public prints to have said, at a meeting of a religious society, that " he left his religion behind him when he went to the senate, and he left his politics behind him when he came to the platform." This was, undoubtedly, a most convenient course. Who had not heard of " two faces under a hood ?" (Laughter.) This was a perfect illustration of the two master mischiefs in the land—politics without religion, and religion without politics. (Loud and continued cheering.) /against such men, the wily politicians of the Roman court found it easy to prevail, and they bad prevailed so that in the language of Mr. Bettridge, already more than once alluded to, the Romish church, in Canada, had two bishops paid by government, the Roman Catholics forming but a small part of the population, while to their own church the right of having a bishop was distinctly refused. How could the church of Rome prevail better? They knew how to advance quietly ; they knew how to be content with instalments. It would be sufficiently mortifying to them as members of the national church to find men giving to anything but to the church; but the mortification was deeper when the thing so preferred was 'the accursed thing—the thing denounced of God as hateful to him and as productive of ruin to fallen sinful man. The Papal system was based on the assump tions of a sinner of the offices of the Saviour. A bishop of the Christian church, instead of living contented in subjec tion to the temporal powers ordained of God, availed himself of his metropolitan position of influence, assumed in troub lous times authority for himself, extended his influence by means of that position and influence which connexion with the metropolitan gave him, and trained the consciences of men by a bold and blasphemous mis-interpretation of scripture, in order to back up his aggressions of ambition, and turned them into engines of tyranny; and he has con trived by the most consummate skill to get his usurpation conceded as a mere speculative opinion, and to get his tem poral dominion defended in this mostthinking land, by argu ments against intolerance. The Bishop of Rome had suc ceeded in raising in his own behalf the cry of liberality of conscience. He had succeeded in getting the cry of English men in favour of liberality to help on him who was against all liberality. Why was this remarkable phenomenon, that this greatest of all tyrants, this commander of thanksgivings and striker of medals for the destruction of Christians, should be so defended? He was uttering in English ears words of charity and love, and prevailing on English minds to quietly submit to their doctrines as if they were mere spe culative opinions; until at last having obtained scone sup porters, and won others, he will at last assume a different po sition, throw off the mask, and turn round and say—" Now, through your folly you have put me here ; you have bailed me in the colonies and at ho me ; I told my people to cry liberty to you, to lead you to "deal heavy blows" to your own Protestantism (cheers), but now, I have you; now I am on the vantage ground from which you cannot dislodge me; now look to yourselves for tyranny is in my heart; it was always there, but in my hands was gentleness and in my tongue was charity and you know me not." This sounded very uncharitable against the whole Romish system. It was a system which spoke lies in hypocricy, and that was the reason now that Englishmen with all their knowledge and pride, with all their national attachments they were so en tirely run away with by the word " liberty," that even when raised as a decoy by the Pope, off they went after " liberty" —(cheers)—now there was another tact referred to in the resolution; i v t t w h a e a w t i h t a nd tt r h a e wei soci ety o f t h the government althoughshorn oT o a f n a t had portion ne vertheless undertaken to contribute to 40 additional clergymen in the colonies, to do what? to preach the gospel of the grace of God, and to execute the ordinances of the church of God ; to preach controversy as members and ministers of the church, and the all perfect redemption of the Saviour of the world; to go and testify that the doctrines of the church of Rome were " dangerous deceits" and " blasphemous tables," to testify that the pretence of the priest to sacrifice for the quick and dead is a vain thing fondly invented, not to be found in tho Word of God, but rather repugnant to it; to go and testify that to bow the knee before the consecrated wafer was nothing less than idolatry. Forty additional men, to go forth healing the souls of a poor afflicted, distressed popula tion : a population consisting of what? —consisting in a large measure of emigrants from their own country; and he would say, former)' of Protestant emigrants from his own native land ; men driven from h ome b y p ersecution, the worst used men in her majesty's dominions, really deprived of their rights, under sold, or under bought, in the holdings of their fathers for years. Catholics were instructed by the priests " to go and offer large rents at the expiration of the leases of Protestants, which, to the disgrace of the landlords, had been in many instances accepted; the coming in Catholic tenants being contented to live like hogs to pay this rent, rather than, as Christians, in decency, as their Protestant prede cessors. But the landlords were finding out their mistake, which had swelled the tide of emigrants by the very flower of the Protestant Irish peasantry. It was to teach these men that the 40 additional clergymen were to be appointed. They asked the meeting to do out of their penury what the government ought to do out of its abundance. It was fitting: that the mischief should be probed to the bottom; and the real state of the mischief laid here : the rulers of the land had not been taught their Christian duty. The young men who had become senators, and so had become progressively, rulers in the land, had not been taught what a Christian senator's duty was. They had taught the people what their duty to a ruler was—to obey people in authority; hut the rulers had not been taught what their duty to the people was (cheers). There had been preachers to tell the people what they should do, but where were the preachers to tell the rulers what they should do? (hear.) There were faithful ministers throughout the land, who told the people their duty, but where were the court preachers? He was com pelled to ask, where were the Bishops, to tell the ministers — to tell the Queen, what their duty was to the people of this realm ? (Loud cheering, and a cry of Dr. Hoo k. ) He did not know whether it would ' be revelant to the question before the meeting, to allude to that observation, but he confessed he was only restrained from the propriety of the case. He would most gladly avail himself of the opportunity thus afforded of hearing witness against the half and ball testi mony which even that celebrated testimony contained, (cheers). For while he saw there a distinct and discrimi nating reference to history, and a clear statement of the true succession Queen her responsibilities as a Queen, or her per sbnal duty as a Christian to lean upon Jesus only. He never told her to trust in Jesus only. It was a deficient testimony, and still he asked—" Where were the teachers to tell our rulers their duty to the people ? (Loud cheers and clapping of hands, amidst which the rev. gentleman resumed his seat.) The resolution was put from the chair, and carried unani- mously- Mr. T. B. HonsFALL moved the third resolution. He said, there had a mighty change taken place in the colonies of the West Indies. If the experiment were successful, it would unfurl the banner of liberty over the whole world; if it failed, it would strengthen the hands or the slave-holders wherever slavery existed. Mr. Horsfall proceeded to advocate the cause of the society. He alluded to several letters, bearing dates to the 11th of August, which gave extremely favourable and encouraging accounts of the practical working of the new system in the West Indies. One correspondent expressed his opinion, that the negroes would perform twice the work under the new system of remuneration, that they did under the old one of slavery. Another correspondent informed Mr. Horsfall, that where the negroes had not gone to work, itwas in consequence of the overseers having offered wages that were too low. Mr. Knibb, he believed, had caused the ne groes to require wages as much too high as the planters had offered too low; but, he believed all would be satisfactorily adjusted. He attributed the good order that had prevailed, entirely to the efforts of this society. Mr. Horsfall concluded by reading and moving the resoluti on. by Rev. FILCH STOWELL seconded the resolution in a speech of some length. He suggested the establishment of colleges in the West Indies for the education or negroes who should preach the Gospel in Africa in their native language. Mr. CAMPBELL informed the meeting, that it was the in tention of the society to carry into effect something similar to the proposition of Mr. Stowell. The resolution was put and carried. Mr. ADAM HODGSON proposed the fourth resolution, which was seconded, with a few words of comment, by the Rev. F. OULD. • Mr. BENJAMIN SADDLEE moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which was seconded by the Rev. C. T. GLAnyv IN. The Chairman responded, and the meeting broke up about half-past three o'clock. MINISTERIAL PROSPECTS—PUBLIC OPINION. (From the Dublin Evening Mail.) According to wont, we arrange under this bead the sentiments of prints and parties opposed to our own political views, in order to display, that on one politi cal question, at least, there exists a perfect unanimity in the popular mind—and that question is, the merits and existence of the whig cabinet. Tait's Edinburgh Magazine is a very influential and able periodical. It is Radical to the back-bone. As long as there was a peg in the Cabinet on which an honest Radical—perhaps we should rather have said Liberal—could hang up his hat without blushing for the disgrace, Tait was the friend and advocate of ministers. Where is he ranked now ? Not, certainly, on the Tory side, but " on a hill apart"—where he scrutinises the measures of his former friends, and passes sen tence cf death and execution on them : The whig-tory ministers," quoth he in his last number, " must stand or fall together. 'rhe tories, like men of sense, shun and disdain alliance with persons so hopelessly da maged; and no acute, forecasting liberal, who is merely wise in his generation, and has any little character to risk, would take office in so rickety a cabinet. Nor can Lord John Russell and Lord Melbourne save that most fickle of all earthly possessions—the favour of a young queen held by an elderly courtier, who chances to be her minister, and for the endurance of which he mue t tremble every day he rises. If there be any difference, it is rather in favour of Lord John Russell:" He accuses the Whigs of the manifold delusions by means of which they obtained office and still endea vour to retain it; and contrasts the meanness of their conduct in this respect with the candour and consis tency of the Tories: - - " To those real, though very, very moderate reformers," quoth he, "who persist in going over the old ground, and using the old language of superstitious dread of the Tories, we speak more in sorrow than in anger, when see inquire bow they vindicate their further trust, or place any hope of good in men, who, imbecile to a proverb, have also shown a reckless-profligacy in their abandonment of their principles, unparalleled since the revolution. Tory governments, the worst of them, at least possessed the vigour which placed them above the necessity of practising such manifold deceits, ending in the shameless desertion of the measures to which they were solemnly pledged. How does it sound to hear, in this extremity, the ministerial advocates, hired or voluntary, bid them stand forth like men, and save themselves by the adoption of some new principle of reform, such as ballot; or more futile still from finality men—the reform of the reform bill? The matter can only be reconciled in the view, that, to keep their offices, it is imagined by such men as Mr. Ward, ministers will at need do any thing—and hence, in the eyes of reformers, their superiority to the Tories. They will do any thing to which they can be compelled, while the Tories would probably have the honesty and the manliness to resign, as Sir Robert Peel did, to make room for Lord Melbourne and his 'principle." As an instance of the shameful desertion of princi ple by which the Whigs accommodate themselves to office, he refers to the abandonment of the tithe ap propriation clauses, which they proclaimed to be the sine, qua non of a satisfactory settlement of the Irish Church question, and the vital principle of their offi cial existence : " They were pledged." says he, " as gentlemen, as well as in their official capacity. Lord Melbourne, in'particular, the chief of the cabinet, roused himself from his ordinary com placent mood of pleasant drowsihood, and displayed energy foreign to his disposition, when the cause was merely public, and not personally annoying. And how could he do less in that question upon which he said his government was based? Great pains were taken by . ministers individually to proclaim • that, on the carrying their Irish bill, their existence as a government depended;' and we have all seen how much they will peril and sacrifice in that dear cause—their official exist ence !—Accordingly, when Lord Lyndhurst moved the des truction of the grand palladium, up got Lord Melbourne. in huge wrath. The proposition was almost a personal affront, in his peculiar circumstances. He declared that he would not accept of the bill when deprived of the principle to which he was pledged. He and his colleagues stood .on that prin ciple. They stood on that to which they were pledged; and [now mark the noble viscount's stalwart determination] if. they were not longer sustained in the maintenance of that principle, they were rea d y to resi g n the offices they held !' How we all crowed—poor simpletons, as the Tories called us, and the Whigs thought us—at this brave declaration of the premier. Here was a manly minister! Here was a vigorous government!" Tait is of opinion that it is their connexion with Mr. O'Connell and Popery that, by leading them through the slough of every infamy which a British statesman should, and was wont to, scorn, has so itre trievably damaged the character of ministers. The Examiner, he says, first blabbed that the appropria tion clauses had - been " extinguished" by the impera tive decree of Mr. O'Connell and the Irish members: Mr. Ward has reiterated the charge, especially against Mr. O'Connell, without contradiction : " Is it then true," says Tait, " as the tories declare, that the Irish chiefs make the British minister yield to the screw as often as they have a mind? But, above all, is it true that the Irish chiefs forced Lord Melbourne to give up the appro priation clause, and carried that infamous tithe bill which the Irish nation spurns? O'Connell's choicest flowers of blar ney, and his direct denials of a fact so incredible cannot blind his countrymen to the part he so openly acted in par liament in support of that bill, and its pleasant collateral, the million; which last, however, more nearly affects us than the Irish. But, if it be true that he was the instrument of compelling the government to disgrace itself, and abandon whatever was of valise in the bill—namely, the assertion of the great principle, that church property is public Froperty, and to be dealt with as such—what then shall we say ? The thing appears monstrous - , and yet it cannot be denied. The fact is reiterated; and O'Connell takes no notice of it. It passes with Mr. Roebuck's, and now Mr. Sharman Craw ford's letters; and is, like them and Mr. Davern's epistles, cushioned by all the Irish papers that are under O'Connell's nfluence." . -- We now turn to our old and .honoured antagonist, the Splectator, whom we find, in his last number, just now come to hand, hasping upon the very same string touched by Tait in the foregoing extract. "There is no one proceeding (quoth our Radical contem porary) which has created so much disgust in England and Scotland, as the passing of h tithe bill, such as the Tories would have given in 1835, without the appropriation; but . Mr. O'Connell, ' the leader in whose judgment, patriotism, and integrity,' Mr. Yates and the Irish Liberal members rely so confidently, was the foremost man, it seems, (we have the high authority of Mr. Ward for the fact) who induced mi nisters to take this fatal step, and to carry a tithe bill which Mr. O'Connell himself denounced as worse than any im posed by Turkish conqueror upon Christian slave. This is a flagrant instance of the evil operation of the Irish influence upon the measures and character of the administration. — Another consequence of that policy which, but for the Irish alliance, ministers could not have followed, has been the 1 secession of the masses in England from what is called the Liberal party. A union with the great body of the English people, on fair terms, was practicable; and no ministry could h ave withstood it. Not only would an impassable barrier have been raised against the Tories, but the Whigs would have been forced to proceed in the path of reform. Instead. of which, they have always had the corps of Irish Janissaries to marshal against the English and Scotch reformers; and the result is dissatisfaction and weakness, the certain return of the 'lories to power, unless the system be changed, and their probable re-establishment in Downing-street and Dub lin Castle, in spite of every effort to repair the consequences of past blunders and treachery. " As to the vituperation of the Irish members, and the fomenting of antipathies and jealousies, we beg to remind Mr. Yates, that before Mr. O'Connell's entire subserviency to the ministry and to more temporising expedients was dis covered, he was warmly received in En g land and SCotland ; that the nickname of `Tory-Radical,' intended as an oppro brium, however silly anti pointless in its application, was not invented on this side of the channel; and that the Irish leader has ostentatiously repudiated all alliance with the English Radicals, in the same letter which contains the de plorable admission that his own policy has been an utter failure. Nodoubt ; there is method in the madness of the Derrvnane fulmination; O'Connell sees that the English and Scotch Radicals will not any longer lend themselves to a policy which produces no better fruit than salaries and patronage for a few Whigs and their Irish satellites, while it I would leave Ireland in a worse state were the Tories again in power, than she was when they were turned out—their re turn to power being the most probable• event in the political future. ' " Some of the arguments of ad mi c e ricordiam urged in be half of the 'seven millions' by those who profess to repre sent them are of a kind to provoke dis gust rather than in spire sympathy. One would suppose that Irishmen were destitute of every thing like manliness, self-reliance, and even physical strength. The Scotch are not half as numer ous as the Irish, but there is not a man in North Britain who would not laugh to scorn the idea of being ridden over rough shod by Tories, Whigs, or any other party or comb ination of parties. The Irish nation, Mr. Yates alleges, can only be ' preserved from a revival of slavery' by keeping Sir R. Peel out of office. We refuse credence to such a libel on that people ; but if it be true and no calumny, then the 'seven millions' are qualified for slavery and unfit for free dom." We wind up our remarks on this subject for to-dav, with the following letter addressed to the Spectator, which we borrow without infringing on his right : " WHO IS THE TRAITOR ?" "London, 27th September, 1838. " Sir,—ln a recent number of your journal, Mr. 'Ward, the able and independent member for Sheffield, was remind ed that some further explanation and particulars of the charge brought against Mr. O'Connell and the Irish members, of urging ministers to give them a tithe-bill without the appro priation clause, would be very desirable. Mr. Ward, I understand, professed to speak of his own knowledge to that important fact. Knowing so much, it is difficult to con ceive that he could not, if he chose, tell more. And it is fit that Mr. Ward should be aware that some additional infor matioq is considered necessary, to show that he, a ministeri alist, did not lightly hazard the statement in question with a view to aid ministers—to suggest something like an apology for their dereliction of principle. Such was palpably the motive with which a similar explanation of the ministerial backsliding was originally given in a newspaper notoriously prostituted to Downing-street uses. But, independently of personal considerations, Mr. Ward owes it to the public to state what he knows of a transaction which so materially affects the character of no stnall number of the Irish repro sentatives. If the truth is precisely what has been stated then, 1, for one, shall know what to think of Mr. O'Conne' and his set " I am, sir, your obedient servant, " A FRIEND '2O PLAIN DEALING." PROSPECTS OF THE TORIES—REGISTRA TION OF VOTERS. Having in the foregoing given a view of the Whig prospects, we may be allowed briefly to advert to those of the Tories. Our British bret bren, at least, are taking the means to secure themselves of victory, whenever the time conies for a struggle. In fact , the battle is half won in Parliament which has been so successfully fought at the Court of Registration. (FROM THE SPECTATOR OF SATURDAY.) " The Parliamentary registration proceeds in the manner anticipated from the lazy indifference of the Liberals and ' the hopeful activity of the Tories. With scarcely an excep tion, the latter have succeeded in beating down the numbers. of their antagonists, and augmenting their own. The Me . tropolitan County is clearly lost, and the Tories may reckon: on returning two members at the next election. In London city, a reference to the comparative numbers of claims and. objections shows Toryism in the ascendant. In the coun ties, and in some of the principal boroughs, the same result. is obtained. • Were an election to take place before the re gistration next year, there would be a large Tory majority . returned for England. Sir Robert Peel, the Times now plainly announces, is only waiting till he can be sure of a. majority in the House of Commons,- to turn out the present. Ministers. The Morning Chronicle eagerly snatched at the• admission of the Times that the Tories were not yet ready l to take office; and asked how they were to get 'in ?' Look at: the proceedings in the Revising Barristers' Courts, and the! process will be plain enough : it is going on now. The- Tories are assiduously making a majority; and the work. once completed, there will be no longer any coquetting with: the Whigs, no more shy reluctance to return to power, but. an eager onslaught on the enfeebled foe . . The way may be. opened any day after the meeting of parliament by the Lords, who, by an address to the Crown for the removal of Minis ters, or the rejection of necessary bills, might compel a Cabinet with a majority of only 15 or 20 in the Commons to. retire. Probably this operation will not long be delayed, it the registration goes on as it hhs commenced." To AN OLD ENGLISH VILLAGE. What unto thee are cities vast, Small village here among these elms?

Few sounds are thine, and clearly heard The whimple of one only brook— The woodman's axe that distant sounds — Doe's bay, or cawing rook. How with quiet are these fields! Far off is heard the peasant's tread ! How clothed with peace is human life! How tranquil seem the dead! Here Time and Nature are at strife— The only strife that here is seen: Whate'er decay has tinged with gray, Has nature touch'd with green.

The maypole, hung with garlands sere, Thou fondly dost retain as yet, AU good old pastimes of this land Unwilling to forget. The Gothic church, the manor hall, And cottages low-roof'd with stone, With waving grass and lichens all Are grayly overgrown. Haunt for the meditative mind ! Some hermit long has near thee dwelt, And breathed his soul forth on the air. In quiet that is felt. I round me look some monk to see, Some stately old monastic fane; Nor should I start, were Ito meet The Norman or the Dane. Here, as to all the world unknown, And sage seclusion dost thou keep; And here Antiquity enjoys A deep and mossy sleep. Across the moors far have I sped, Intent upon a glowing theme; And heie the first time round me look, Awake, as in a dream.

THE EGRE.-A few days a gentleman from Lincoln went to the Trent side, near Gainsborough, to witness the return of the tide, when, not being aware of the meaning of " Ware Egre," as the boatmen call out to one another on the ap pearance of the wave, although but a moment before he was standing, on dry land some feet from the water's edge, he found himself, to his astonishment, up to his middle in water. This phenomenon, we are told, is only to be seen in one other river in England. In other places the tide is, seen to run regularly one way till it arrives at the lowest, when a flood takes place, then a gradual turn the other way, which continues to increase until it arrives at high-water mark; but here the tide continues to ebb until it meets with the returning tide, which makes its appearance in the shape of a large wave, bearing down all Opposition, and - sometimes in creasing the height of the river three feet in a moment. Nis a very interesting sight. —Lincoln Mercury. EXTRAORDINARY . ATTACK ON STANFIELD HALL, NORFOLK, BY A MOB. On Monday, one of the most extraordinary o utra g es ever perpetrated was committed on the seat of Isaac Jeremy, Esq.,• by a large mob, headed by a man named Larner, and another person, also from Loudon, calling himself Daniel Wingfield. Larner professes to be a claimant to the Stanfield property, and went so far, on Monday last, as to take possession of the mansion ; and it was only with the assistance of the military, eventually called out in support of the civil power, that the intruder and his adherents were expelled from the premises, and, to the number of more than eighty, -taken into custody. The following are the facts connected with this remarkable case : Isaac Preston, -Esq., who lately, by royal license; assumed the name of Jeremy, is the son and heir of the Rev. George Preston, of Stanfield Hall. His father succeeded to this es tate by virtue of the will of his elder brother , also o f Stanfield Hall, in May, 1786; and Mr. Jeremy came into possession on his father's death in 18,37, the property having been a cen tury in the family. In June last, an auction took place of the Rev. George Preston's effects; when, on one of the days of the sale, a servant informed Mr. Jeremy that there was a per son below whoclaimed to take possession of t fie place as heir at-law to the property. Mr. Jeremy, in company with Mr. Colley, the auctioneer, went to a room on the first floor, where he saw two men, one of whom was the prisoner, John Lerner, and, asking hint what business they had there, de sired them to leave the house. The person who accompanied Lerner said—" This gentleman is Mr. John Lanier, the heir at-law to this property, and he has come to take possession of his estate." Mr. Jeremy asked the speaket if he were a lawyer; and, on being answered in the negative, he told them, that, if they had any claim to his property, the way was open to them to put it forward by means of legal, and not illegal proceedings. The intruders were again desired to leave the house, which they refused to do; and Mr. Jeremy sent to Wymondham for the police-officers, who removed them from the premises. Some time atter the above occurrence, the following handbills was distributed through the county of Norfolk : "TO WORKMEN, LABOU,ZERS, AND OTHERS. "Whereas, Isaac Preston, Recorder of the City of Nor wich, (lately styled Isaac Jeremy,) having publicly acknow ledged that he had no right or title to the Stanfield estates, mansion, and manors, but naked possession only, workmen, labourers, and others, are therefore cautioned not to assist the said Isaac in attempting to prevent the heir-at-law, John Lamer, from taking possession of his family residence, Stan field Hall, otherwise they will be liable to be prosecuted fur a breach of the peace "JOHN LARNEII 'Cross-street, City Road, London, August 22, 1838. " Witness: Daniel Wingtield." On Tuesday, the 11th September, eight or nine persons violently entered the mansion, which was then occupied by a Mrs. Sims, and demanded of her the-keys of the house, de siring her to leave the place. Constables being called in, the people left the.place. On the following day Lerner en tered the pleasure-grounds, cut down an ash tree, and with others carried it away. On the 20th of September Lerner again entered the premises, 'accompanied by a blacksmith, when assistance being at hand, and finding that he should be taken into custody, he took to his heels and escaped, de claring that he would return again. On the following day, handbills against - Mr. Jeremy were again distributed. Monday last, Lerner appeared in front of Stanfield Hall, with a very large party of men, collected from the different parishes of the neighbourhood. They entered the park by the drive, and commenced cheering and waving their hats. About eleven o'clock in the morning, they demanded admit tance of Mrs. SilllF, declaring they would break open the house if it were refused them. Sae did refuse them, upon Which Lerner took a crow-bar, and broke in the door, when the party rushed into the place, Soon after entering., the mob followed Lerner up stairs to a bedchamber, in which Mrs. SiMs had taken refuge; Lanier entered first, and de -1 sired her to leave the house, which she refused to 'do. He then said, that she should be carried Out by force if she did nut go. Miss Bloomfield, of Wymondham House, at this time came up stairs into the room, and joined Mrs. Sims in her refusal to leave the house. After carrying Mrs. Silos out of the house, Lanier scent up stairs again, seized Miss Bloomfield in his arms, and forcibly carried her out. The mob then carried the furniture, bedding, &c. out of the house and placed it on the lawn ; after which, they broke open all the cupboards, throwing their contents out of the windows; from one of them they took out a sum of money belonging to Mrs. Sims, part of which they gave up to that lady, the fel lows declaring they found no more. They afterwards bar ricaded the windows and doors, letting do person in or out 4 of the house except their own party, and placed a heap of paving stones, brickbats, and other missiles, before each of ithe upper windows, in preparation for a siege. During the time this outrage was carrying into effect, Mr. Jeremy, who is a county magistrate, received information of what was pas sing, and hastened to the scene with two constables, when he found the furniture of the mansion lying on the .ground exposed to a heavy rain: he read the riot act to the mob ; and calling upon them to listen to him, informed them that every persons would be guilty of felony if they did not immediately disperse. Between three and four o'clock the'Reverena Robert Wilson. and It. Cann, Esq., came up f with a civil force, and succeeded in taking some o the bludgeonmen into custody ; but the rioters made a sortie from the house, and instantly rescued them. Finding the civil force inadequate, the military were sent for from Norwich, and at about a quarter before six a de tachment of the Dragoon Guards, under the command of Major Makepeace, came upon the ground. Before their ar rival, however, the fellows in toe mansion rushed several times out, and very severely beat the magistrates, particularly Mr. Jeremy. The military having been desired to load their pieces with ball cartridges, the magistrates again read the riot act, and called on the misguided men to surrender rather than there should be a sheeding of blood. The military took up a position so as to surround the - house, and cut off all at tempts at escape ; the men inside then, having had five minutes' grace given to them to snake up their minds, de clared, before the expiration of the time, their intention to surrender, and, opening one of the doors, came out one by one, and were tied together by ropes, to prevent their escape, to the number of sixty-three. They were put into waggons, and conducted to Norwich Castle, under an escort of the military. The other men, being known, were held to bail to appear at Norwich the following morning. The whole of the prisoners arrived at the gaol at eleven o'clock at night. The persons engaged in this most extraordinary outrage came from different parishes in the county of Norfolk ; only twenty-five of them are labourers, the others being little tradesmen, by whom ignorance cannot be pleaded as an ex cuse for their conduct, thirty-four of them being able to read and write, seven can read only, and thirty-nine can neither read nor write. Three of them were liberated on bail; the others remain in custody until the next examinaiion.— Abridyed from the Norfolk Chronicle. Entt:ltigtazz. TUESDAY, OCT. 2.—Wind N.E. moderate.

The market the last two days has been rather dull—The sales yes• terday were 2,500 begs, and to-day they are 3,000. Prices arc with, out any material change. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, OCT. 4. The currency of dry Butter is nominally as noticed in our last, and nothing is asked for but the finer descriptions. Supplies con tinue abundant.—Pickled Butter is steady.—The Provision trade is dull, and prices both of Beef and Pork are lower. The former we quote at 105 s to 110 s per tierce, the latter 72s Gd to 77s Gd per bar rel. it is expected that new Pork from the North of Ireland may be laid down in Liverpool during the present month at 70s.—Bacon rather flat at 46s to 48s. fine short middles at 49s to 60s. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 2. The first three days of the past week were rainy and injurious but, since Tuesday, the weather has been very favourable for the operations of harvest, now about half. secured throughout this dis trict and to the northward. A great many fields are still covered with stooks, and no small quantity of Vi heat and Oats still uncut. The imports from Ireland and Coastways continue to be to a very small extent, but of Wheat and Flour from the European continent they are increasing weekly, and some part of the imports coast ways are of foreign Wheat, duty paid. There has been a fair market here,. since Tuesday last, for Wheat and Oats at fully last Tuesday's prices ; for Flour and Oatmeal, at about Is per sack ad vance, and for all other articles at about last quotations, in sthich , by an error of the press, grinding Barley was quoted Is per 6/11b too high, the increased quotations of new Irish Weat. below,.proceed from an improvement iii the quality and condition thereof. 1. the London and Yorkshire markets of 'the past week there was a small imProveinent in the value of fine Wheat, but at Manchester on Sa trirday there was a limited demand for Grain from this port, being still undersold for Wheat from Wakefield. Reports of the Wheat crops in this district, and in the most influential counties of the United Kingdom, excepting those immediately around London, continue to be very unfavourable, both as to quality and quantity, to an extent which it is to be hoped may prove exaggerated ; and it is yet too soon to form any decided opinion on this subject. 'Fire duty on Wheat from foreign ports is this week increased, as anticipated, two steps, having since Friday last become 10s 8d per qr. and 6s 5d per brl on Flour ; on other sorts of foreign Grain there is no alteration : next Friday the duty will be further increased on Wheat to 13s Bd, or very likely_may then again increase two steps, and become 16s 8d The present duty will probably be paid on Wheat, if not on Flour, but any further increase will be virtually prohibitory—we do not quote in bond at present very nearly 200,000 qrs of : Wheat and 10,000 brls of Flour have been released here recently, and it is estimated that nearly one-third of the Wheat has already been disposed of to consumers; for all other kinds of Grain in bond there has been very, little demand, and prices there fore may be considered the same as free, less the duties, except for Oats and Pease, for which there is an occasional demand for export to the West Indies, at our quotations. At this day's market we experienced an unexpected dullness in the demand far almost every article in the Corn Trade, and sales were effected only to a very moderate extent; the prices of last Tuesday were barely supported, and in some instances a small re duCtion was submitted to, but not sufficient to warrant any decided reduction in the general quotations.
