FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. -® FRANCE. The Red Republicans are outrageous against General Cavaianac for having dispatched an expedition to Civita Vecchia to rescue Pio Nono, in case his personal safety should be endangered. The Era Nouvelle says:—" The silence observed on Saturday in the National Assembly by M. de Lamartine and M. Francois Arago is significative. It was attempted to induce M. de Lamartine to speak. M. Gamier Pages said to him—' I shall put interpollations to you, and you must speak.' M. de Lamartine replied—' I will not do so, for neither myself nor the Executive Committee is in volved in the affair ; get out of it as well as you can.' M. de Lamartine also declared that he was far from enter taining towards the Chief of the Executive Government any feeling of hostility or ill-will." In the sitting of the National Assembly on Wednesday, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and the Minister for the Interior, gave certain explanations as to the alleged mea sures of severity which had recently been adopted in the treatment of Spanish refugees. It was reported on the Bourse that in consequence of the recent arrivals from Rome the expedition to Civita Vecchia would be stopped. On Tuesda r y, upwards of 1200 National Guards; With the colonel at their head, had an audience of General Ca vaignac in his garden, congratulating him upon his de fence on Saturday last, and expressing the confidence they entertained of his character and conduct. Gen. Cavaignac replied in a few words of gratitude for the sentiments pro claimed, and the parties separated. The Paris journal, the Reforme, hints rather signifi cantly, that the order given by Gen. Cavaignac, to for ward 3500 troops to the assistance of the Pope, was merely an electioneering manoeuvre, to forward his ambi- tion in obtaining the presidency. The number of burials in Paris, which amounted to 21,505 in 1845, rose in 1846 to 23,822, and to 24,187 in THE INSURRECTION AT ROME In the STANDARD of last week we gave the particulars of the insurrectionary proceedings of the populace of Rome, to obtain from the Pope a democratic ministry. This the Pope yielded, but since then, it has been ru moured, that his holiness, after being kept prisoner in his own palace, had succeeded in effecting his escape. Accounts from Rome of the 23d state that the report of the Pope's flight was premature, his holiness not having quitted the city up to that date ; but whether he was a willing occupant of his palace, or detained there by a con- tinual - watch upon his movements, does not appear. Certain it is, that every arrangement was made to aid the escape of the Sovereign Pontiff, should his holiness be anxious to avail himself of the opportunity for so doing. The new ministry had issued their political programme, which declared their adhesion to the principles contained in• the resolutions of June s—resolutions that had been received by the deliberativ enthusiasm. a assembly with so muc The French government had determined upon despatch ing 35(V) troops in six steamers to the assistance of the Pope. for his personal safety. This has been asserted, by the Reforms, an opposition journal, to be only a stroke of policy, on the part of General Cavaignac, for gaining po pularity wi.h a view to the Presidential election ; but the fact that such a demonstration is looked upon as likely to gain popularity proves that the assistance thus proffered on the part of France, will be pushed forward vigorously to its os nsible purpose In the mean time there is good reason to hope that other means of succour to the Pontiff have already anti cipated the French government. The news from Naples states that the misfortunes of the Pope have been expected there for some time, and that Admiral Parker had a fort night before despatched her Majesty's steam-sloop Bull- dog, Commander A.

During twenty years he suffered excruciating torments from its presence, and at last resolved on proceeding to London to consult the faculty there.

He was accordingly thrown by ether into a state of stupor, and the operation com menced. The circular saw had indented the bone round the bullet, when the intense agony roused the patient. The operator became alarmed, but Bern reassured him, called for his pipe, lighted it, and commenced smoking while the operation was resumed, and was crowned with complete success.

A new church, far inferior in architectural beauty, has been erected much nearer the clergyman's residence, half a mile from the old church. The Rectory of Bishopwearmouth has been conferred the Rev. John Patrick Eden, M.A., perpetual curate of St. Andrew Auckland, and son-in-law of Lord Brougham. In connexion with this appointment a re-distribution of the revenues has been made, but it has been confined to the parish of Bishopwearmouth. The distribution may be summoned up in a few words. £2OOO is to constitute the income of the Rector. St. Thomas' Church, Bishop wearmouth, is to have £200; St. Andrew's, Depford, £l5O ; St. Mary's, Hylton, £lOO ; Trinity Church, Ry hope, £lOO. The surplus (X 1,450) is to be funded, and disposed of hereafter, according as the experience of the working of the above arrangement during the next three years may point out to be most necessary. _ EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN SCOTLAND.—DIOCESE OF GLASGOW AND GALLOWAY.—CONFIRMATION.—On Sa turday, the 11th ult. the Bishop of the Diocese held his first confirmation in Glasgow, within the temporary cha pel in Catherine-street, A.nderston. The Incumbent read the usual prayers ; and the Bishop having delivered a most impressive address, proceeded to administer the solemn rite to fifteen candidates. After service a meeting of the clergy and churchwardens was held in the vestry, the Bishop in the chair, at which it was agreed that as the subscription now amounted to nearly £l2OO, immediate steps should be taken for the erection of the new church ; and that in the meantime, till the completion of the struc ture, a resident curate should be engaged, whose whole time should be devoted to the poor of the district, nearly 2,000 of whom are living estranged from the Church in which they were baptised. His Lordship was pleased to sanction these arrangements, subscribing £5O to the building fund, and £lO to the curate's stipend for one year, when, the church being built, it is believed there will be ample resources from the increased congregation for the due support of a clergyman, without extraneous aid. HORFIELD CASE.—Tt has been known that there is evidence that Lord Melbourne entered into an under standing with Bishop Allen, that the valuable leases should be allowed to run out and go to augment the re. venues of the Church ; that the estimated value of the Horfield tithes and estates are £3,000 a-year ; but that the incumbent has only £BO a year, besides £6O allowed by Government for doing duty at the barracks near Bristol; that, consequently, the incumbent and his curate have, on the average, between them, about £l4O a year ; and that the bishop has neither continued his prede- thing for the schools of the parish; that his lordship has an income Which aVerages £6,400 on the last septennial calculation, and will, on an average, amount to at least £5,700 a year in future, besides his palace and several valuable commendams, the amount of which is not stated, but which would probably be underrated at£2,ooo a year besides. It is under these circumstances that the bishop proposes to renew the lives, instead of allowing the lease to depend on one, which is expected to drop from month to month. To prevent this catastrophe, the commissioners have agreed to pay the bishop £11,500, which might otherwise have been employed for the general good of the church.—Record. ORIGIN OF THE GRIEVANCES IN THE TEMPORALITIES OF THE IRISH CHURCH.—A century since, if a peer or a bishop had a son or a nephew needing a " good living," and none offered at the moment, how obvious the tempta tion to make a rich benefice, by uniting several small ones ! In such a state of things, and among such persons, can it be doubted that arrangements of this sort were often made ? The principal law authorizing such " unions," and making them legal and permanent, was passed in the 2d of George I. And Bishop Mant tells us, that between 1721 and 1799, he finds mention of sixty one such unions having been formed, embracing, some 'me three, some ,four, and some even five and six But either this is an imperfect statement, or f f • have cont;..-- LAW INTELLIGENCE IN RE J. R. Pima.—This bankrupt again appeared before Mr. Serjeant Ludlow on Friday. Mr. Rowe, solicitor, stated that the accounts were still unsatisfactory. ,There were £26,000 in bil!F, not explained. The bankrupt stated that £17,000 of them were for bills payable, but they did not seem to have any connexion with the estate. The official assignee said he never saw such unsatisfactory ac counts. The case was adjourned sine die, with protection for a month. IN RE GOULDING.—This bankrupt, late a builder in this town, applied for a certificate. He was opposed on the ground of reckless trading. and that he had erected and obtained mortgages on worthless property. Mr. Sergeant Ludlow said this appeared to be the case of a party who, having no capital, or, at all events, a very small capital, made a number of contracts for land which he did not pay for ; after putting together a few stones and other materials on that land, obtained a mortage upon it, in consequence of the increased value which he appeared to have given it by so doing. He thought that was a mode of dealing of which the public had a right to complain. The result of such a system was the incessant demand for interest on mortgages, the payment of stamps, and other liabilities, under which it was impossible almost for a party to bear up. He could not, therefore, make his judgment absolute, but must suspend the bankrupt's certificate for twelve months from the date of his last exa mination. Mr. Barber, the solicitor, who, a few years since, was sentenced to transportation, with Fletcher and others, for alleged forgery of testamentary documents, and whose sentence has been recently reversed, and free pardon granted him, appeared on Saturday in the precincts of the Court of Common Pleas, Westminster, Mr. Sergeant Wilkins having been charged by him to make an applica tion to the Court to have Mr. Barber replaced on the rolls. The novelty of hearing such an application or motion made attracted a considerable crowd to the Court. In the course of the day the Attorney-General entered, and had some conversation with Mr. Wilkins, after which the lat ter gentleman withdrew, and it was understood that, on consulting with Mr. Barber, he agreed to the postpone ment of the application until next term, or at least for the present. - The proceedings in the Court of Common Pleas on Fri day, the 24th ult., afford some evidence of the correctness of the opinions we have expressed with reference to the Acts of Parliament lately passed applying to Joint-Stock Companies. It appears that certain proceedings had been taken against a shareholder in the Universal Gas-Light by the Act sec. 67, not having been given —the lawyers appearing not to have carefully read, or understood, the clauses of the Act ; but, with the view of remedying the defect, counsel for the plaintiff subsequently obtained a rule against the defendant, calling upon him to show cause why execution should not issue, under the 66th sec tion of the Joint-Stock Companies Act, 7 and 8 Vic., c. 110. Mr. Serjeant Talfourd now contended that such rule must be set aside, inasmuch that the former application to the C- which the plainfur was ' was ..,ourt, ‘,. uereatea, against the defendant as a '• former shareholder," while the pre.ent was as a shareholder "for the time being." After argument on the part of counsel in support of the application, the Court granted a rule absolute for the is suing of execution against the defendant, on the ground that having been a shareholder once, and signed the deed, by the 3rd and 12th sections of the Joint-Stock Compa nies' . Act, he continued a shareholder until he had di vested himself of that character by the transfer of his shares, RAILWAI I FFAIRS The Oswestry extension of the Shrewsbury and Chester railway has been opened.

Seabirds and different kinds of game have also occasionally been found dead, having probably come in contact with the invisible wires at night when in full flig ht.—Carlisle Journal. THE EUSTON STATION.

Act, which requires, in order to give au• opportunity for aeration, -a solicitor's bill - to be delivered a month before action tb the party to be charged therewith, or left at his counting-house: office of nosiness ~, , ening-nouse, or last known place of abode: It was not denied that the bill had been so left at the company's offices in Moorgate street, but it was urged that the "company" was then defunct, although a plate bearing the name of the com pany on it was still affixed to the door. The rule nisi any argued on Saturday last, when the court differing in opinion, it fell to the ground, and the verdict accordingly stands. DEPOSIT OP PLANS. — Thursday was the last day for the reception of plans and sections for new lines, &c. The number of plans and sections lodged in connection with railways up to the close of the offices was twenty-nine. two only being for new lines, namely, the Brentwood, Southall, and - Pinner Railway, and the Faversham to Chilham Railway, and twenty-seven for branches, exten sions, or deviations. Besides these, but not requiring the deposit of either for upwards of t Tans or sections there are.appliedi eight . in Scotland; six'cases of relinquishment or aban.: donment of portions of lines; five for extensions of time for making railway or purchases of land; and a great many plications is that of future economy in constructive works, lid. for internal mutual arrangement. Including all asses of applications, there are about 110 applications ores this year t session of parliament for rail 140 in th n invention GREAT BRITANNIA. TUBULAR BRIDGE.—The works of this great structure, which are of twice the stupendous character of those over the river Conway, have been put in full operation this week, and are already in an advan ced state. The platform for this purpose across the Menai Straits alone is half a mile long, and four large tubes, each weighing 1,700 tons, are now nearly comple ted. Each tube is 472 feet long, and will have to be floated half a mile along the straits, and then raised 106 feet home. The end tubes are also much advanced. The scaffold or platform on which they are being put together is 100 feet high, 230 feet long, and 60 feet broad, capable of sustaining a weight of 1,500 tons on the top. The cast-iron work of the bridge weighs upwards of 2,000 tons, and the chains used for raising it will alone weigh 100 tons. It will be floated on eight pontoons. Two of them are of iron, of 100 feet long, 28 feet broad, 10 feet deep, and capable of carrying 400 tons each. The middle pier, rising out of the water from the Britannia rock, after which the bridge is named, is to be 230 feet high. There are two other piers of the same elevation, and the entire length of the tube-bridge across the straits will be 1,420 feet, or one-third nearly of a mile. RAILWAY MANAGEMENT.—Captain Huish, the general manager of the London and Nerth Western Railways has published a letter on railway management, in reply to a letter recently written by Mr. Whitehead, late Secretary of the South Eastern Railway Company,—whose object was to show that the present rates for the carriage of goods by railways is too low, and entail loss on the com panies —sinking a considerable portion of the profit derived from passengers ; and he contends that the North Western Company are losing much by the goods traffic, and that either the rates are too low. or the passenger fares too high. Captain Huish examines Mr. Whitehead's data and assertions, and supplies some statistical facts. He states that the total receipts from for the year ending 30th June last, were £2,140,035 ; namely and mails, £1,417,659 ; goods and coals, £722,376. _ total cost of working the railway in every department was only £751,172. It thus appears that the merchandise receipts about covered the entire expenses of the line, leaving the passenger traffic net ! " The goods train earns as much per mile run as its vaunted competitor the pas senger train. The total weight of passenger travelling for the year was 399,956 tons, about equal to the merchan dise conveyed in eleven weeks; so that a run of 238,732 miles was sufficient to convey a weight of goods which it required 4.220,078 miles to transmit when converted into passengers." LIGHT LOCOMOTIVE,— passengers The Messrs. England's new engine cs had several triaic lien. Ali ua ieei O 111CLEC, carrying wheels 3 feet diameter ; fire box, 3 feet diameter ; boiler, 2 feet diameter, with sixty tubes 11 feet 4 inches long, 1 inches diameter. The tender is placed upon the same frame ; the extreme length of which is about 20 feet, and the weight, we are informed, is about 9 tons. The whole of the working parts are in sight, and within the immediate control of the driver while at work. From nu merous trials, during which a distance of nearly 1,000 miles has been performed, we have ascertained, that for express purposes, with one or two carriages, a speed of 60 miles p hour is well maintained ; and that a tiain of five carriages, with passengers equal to 20 tons, is run at 40 miles per hour. With this load she ascended the heavy incline at New Cross-1 in 100 for three miles—at the rate of 20 miles per hour; and upon the level line, one mile was passed in 80 seconds, being at the rate of 45 miles per hour, with a load of 20 tons—the consumption of coke not exceeding 6 lbs. per mile. This performance, we believe, is unparalleled in the histoi y of the locomotive eligine. The fact that a load of 20 tons was propelled at the rate of 45 miles per hour, with 6 lbs, of coke per mile, while the quantity required for any of the heavy engines to perform the same wo"k, would not be less than 25 lbs, per mile, shows, we think, the mistake of making loco- Motive engines of enormous weight—engines which spend two-thirds of their immense power in propelling their own weight. During the experiments, we were highly pleased with the very safe and steady working of the engine. NEW ELECTRIC LIGHT.—On Saturday night week, an experiment was made on the Great Western Railway, to test the power of a new species of light produced by elec tricity, particularly with the view to its being used by railway trains. The light is produced by an apparatus invented by M. Le Mott, a French gentleman, who has been for several years employed in electrical experiments in Russia, and whose discoveries in that department are o'clock a truck, containing a wooden square box, about the size of a sentry-box, and having a galvanic battery of some sixty or seventy small jars deposited around it, was attached to the last carriage of the train then about to proceed from Paddington. The light was produced inside the box, and the rays, condensed and heightened by a powerful reflector, were emitted by an aperture contrived for the purpose. The light was produced before the train left Paddington, when a dazzling blaze filled the whole of ... F amous station, casting the numerous gas-lamps there completely into the shade. As the train proceeded on its way, the reflector left a long train of clear bright light for the distance of a mite and more behind it, in -1, a manner as to - it -- fteri- - - .d render it ut, iy impossible that any train coming up behind should run into it, except as the effect of deliberate intention. The reflector, as seen from the carriage, was very beautiful, the prismatic colours being distinctly and vividly delineated along the cuter edg3 of the circle of radiation; and as these fell upon the dense column of smoke ascending from the engine, the effect was singular and striking. The night was dark, but clear, and so far favourable to the experiment ; and objects, such as a bridge, wore rendered distinctly visible —•1 TT as tar as Mough, On arriving at which station the truck was detached from the train, and continued there for about half an hour, till the up-train arrived, with which it returned to , town. While at Slough the light was turned in the direction of 'Windsor Castle, as it the expectation of M. Le Mott, who accompanied the expe riment, that it would be seen from thence. While there, a gentleman stationed himself at the distance of 200 yards or so from the apparatus, and read a newspaper by the light produced, which he found he could do with perfect ease. The apparatus then returned to town in the same manner, the light being continuously intense during the whole of the journey and return ; and it was stated by the ingenious inventor that there could be no difficulty in keeping it up for the whole night. The experiment af forded great satisfaction to all who witnessed it, the only drawback being that the apparatus, having been in the conside motion with ea . . ;rably from the jolting inseparable from railway. ~a defeet'which the inventor considered might be se overcome in any future experiment. This is :o railway purpc and if ktind practicable, there can be no doubt that it will~add greatly to the safety of night travelling by railway. POLITICAL SCELLANY. ituminautm un - .

Sir Ralph Lopez !conservative) has been brought forward. He was formerly member for Westbury. and is a sound parishes the practice o, .orming unions must have continued in full activity after the Union. For the Commissioners of Inquiry, in their Report of 1835, state, that they found 907 benefices consisting of a single parish ; and 478 unions, two or more. Now if these ur+;-- Limons consisted entirely or two parishes only, it is clear that there would be 956 parishes, or more than half of the whole, held in union. Supposing, however, the averaye of these unions of two, three, four, five, and six parishes to be three, we should then find 1,434 parishes held in union, while only 937 had a pastor to themselves. Some other lamentable facts appear in this same Report of 1835, which may as well be given in this place. The Commissioners report, that they found 210 parishes without any church. And this was the settled state of things, to amend which scarcely any effort was making ! Of a piece with this was the further fact, that in 157 parishes there was no resident clergyman, and no service of any kind ! And this was the state of things in 18'' after a great revival of religion had long seen going on, and when, beyond all doubt, there must have been far more vigour and strength in the Church than at any former period. What, then, must have been the state of things a century back ? Is it not wonderful, in existence, after such a system of neglect and had existed for more than a century ?—Record corruption NEW CHURCHES AND DISTRICTS.—A very important meeting of the incumbents of new churches and districts was held at the National School, Etruria, Staffordshire, on Tuesday, for the purpose of considering the present position of district churche s, especially as to theinade quacy of " the voluntary system" in supplying funds for the maintenance of divine worship and the repair of the fabric, and to adopt memorials to his Grace the Archbi shop of Canterbury, the Lord Bishop of Lichfield, and the first Minister of the Crown, humbly praying that means may be devised to form all Chapelries and Districts into separate Parishes, and likewise to nominate a depu tation to present such memorial. The Rev. H. Wynter, of Etruria, presided; and on the motion of the Rev. F. Wade, a memorial to the dignitaries mentioned, was agreed to, praying for the entire separation of all districts and chapelries, as regards all rates, fees, and appoint ments of church officers. The latter gentleman, in the course of his speech, alluded to a case "exhibiting the hardships to which churches erected under Sir Robert Peel's Act were exposed. The case was that of a church with which he was well acquainted : it was erected prin cipally through the munificence of a benevolent indi vidual : a district was assigned, but by being taken out of a district parish, the inhabitants had two rates to pay without partaking of any benefit from them. The sti pend. of the clergyman was little more than £lOO, of £5O ,was a grant from the Additional Curates for repairs and all other expenses, about .f 9 per annum had been raised, £6 of which was derived from an nnual collection. Was it, he would ask, reasonable or ust that the parent churches should be freed from the 2,000 souls, and yet enjoy all the rates Society e of upv _ of the district , in addition to m a ki ng a claim on all the fees which were collected in the poorer church ? Or was it to be expected that the ill-requited clergyman was continually to have his mind harassed as to how he was to provide for the support of his church ? He honestly believed that, at this moment, there were many clergy men who contributed largely out of their inadequate sti pends to carry on the services of their churches." THE HON. BAPTIST NOEL.— On Sunday week, St. John's Chapel, Bedford-row, Louden, was at an early ded to so great an excess that it was barely pos )tain even standing room. A large number of ere evidently attracted to the chapel by curiosity the " reasons" assigned by Mr. Noel for his cession from the Established Church.

On Wednesday .1 weekly service at St. John's Chapel, 'ere Air tt Noel has officiated for the last 26 years, the rev. gent'eman selected for his text, Rev. i. 5,6, " Unto Him that loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and bath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father, to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever, Anien ;"—and then proceeded as follows :—" My dear Christian brethren, many of you have beard that, as the result of opinions deliberately formed, which I know not how to alter, and the force of conviction which I am ,ot permitteu ,een obliged to announce my intention of leaving this congregation,' where I have ministered for so long a period with comfort and satisfac tion to myself, if not with profit to others.

But let Ay; not think of little matters; let us indulge in meditations on the best of all subjects; and I hoie chosen the words of my text. because they speak of our best friend, and are calculated very much to console and animate us." The rev. gentleman then proceeded with his address, but in no degree further alluded to the pain ful subject of quitting his flock.—The chapel of St. John's is held under a lease from the trustees of Rugby School, and the term of years, which formerly belonged Bisl to tht, —lop of Calcutta, is now vested in his son, the Rev. Daniel Wilson. The Globe says that it was not Mr. Noel's intention to leave the church until Midsum mer next, in order that due time might have been allcwed his people to choose a successor and make the necessary arrangements for carrying on the schools and the various religious and charitable institutions' maintained by his congregation ; hut on Tuesday the Bishop of London sent for the rev. gentleman, and, after ascertaining from him that the reports of his intention to secede from the church were true; at once intimated to him that he would be pro hibited from preaching again in any church dr chapel within the diocese of London. Mr. Noel, on receiving this intimation, said, in the most respectful manner, that he could not consent to act in accordance with the prohi bition, as he had not yet spoken to his congregation in their collective capacity or) the subject of his intended secession. The Bishop said he was determined to enforce the prohibition. It was eventually agreed that Mr. Noel should be permitted to preach on Sunday in his chapel, on the understanding that that is to be the last time on ie is to officiate as a mini His " Reasons for Seceding from the Church have been put into the hands of the printer. parch c of Englan. met, when they nnanitnously resolved to present a me morial to the rev. gentleman, entreat ing him to reconsider 1118 resoiution to leave the church, and expressing an ardent hope that the result of such reconsideration would be his still remaining with them.

As an instance of the division in the Whig-Radical ranks, we may observe that the Manchester Guardian (whig paper), supports Mr. Denison, the Yorkshireman (radical paper), supports Mr. Roebuck, the Leeds Mercury (another radical paper), supports Sir Culling Eardley, and the Liverpool Mercury recommends " the liberal party to stand aloof and take no part in the struggle." This is evidence of a worse split than that which has taken place among the Conser vatives. POPERY AND MORALITY.—The Pope is practically de throned. His Prime Minister having fallen under the poignard of the assassin, and his Secretary by a ball of the rebels, he, by the last accounts, was a prisoner in his palace ' • anxious to escape, but wat c h e d by hi s d u tif u l subjects. An expedition has sailed from France for Civita Vecchia, composed of six war-steamers and a division of 3,500 men, with a view of affording security to the Pope. It is surmised that our noble fleet in the Bay of Naples, which, we believe, has on board an unusually large com plement of marines, will probably move in the same di rection. We only hope they will not bring the Pope here. What are the ripe virtues of this spiritual mother, under the immediate eye, and enjoying the fulness of the reli gious influence, of the assumed spiritual father of the faithful ? Virtues ! religious and spiritual virtues ! Let the Times journal of last Monday reply. It says, in one of its able leading articles :—" It is a mockery to talk of national independence and constitutional government in a country where the ordinary duties of police are not per formed, where law has no authority, and religion no power but to absolve from crime." Well may a correspondent say, referring to this judgment of the religion of Rome, by a journal which, under evil influences, is doing much to strengthen it,—" Surely the most ultra Protestant never expressed a severer opinion of Popery, and surely if this witness of the Times be true, as I assuredly believe it to be, what greater sin and folly can this Protestant nation commit, than to foster in her bosom a system which turns the religion of the Redeemer, designed to be man's greatest blessing, into a means of his degradation, misery, and increased depravity ?" Romtsu ENDOWMENT.—There is, after all, no way of dealing honestly with the question of Romish endowment, save that adopted by the Rev. Dr. M'Neile in his address, a few evenines since, to the three thousand listeners in Exeter Hall, to hear portrayed by the eloquent speaker " the distinctive features of Protestantism and Popery." If there be truth at all in revelation ; if that which we call Holy Writ be not a fable ; if our churches are not the scenes of abject mummeries, and our preachers the most the ject perpetuation of huge hypocrisy, there can be no sub. rto the people of England, and to the people of every country on the globe, as that which involves the consideration ofina mortality, and the hopes and prospects of a future state. Party questions sink into insignificance at the side of this. To be a Whig or Tory, Conserva tive or Radical, may be to assume a badge indifferent to one whose political views are subservient to the duties claimed by the IfiGuEsT. It can never be a matter of indifference to the conscientious, let him belong to what party he may, whether he holds the truth or not with reference to the faith upon which results the most tremendous hang. Commence the work of retro gression, and where shall you stop in the backward move ment ? Confound the minds of the unreflecting with the public declaration that the state is bound deliberately to propagate that which the state acknowledges to be false hood, degrading to man, and blasphemy to God,'and upon what other points will you have courage to enlighten them ? Can it be an act of intelligence or liberality to foster and encourage openly and unreservedly the errors for en tertaining which the recognized teachers of our church declare eternal punishment awaits us ? Is it left for the most advanced age of the world to make known aloud and unblushingly, that it matters little what you do, pro vided only that you preach ? Is it, to be t 90 _ae crowning work of our " expedient" legislation to lift a veil from the rising generation, and to make them mock the creed their fathers worshipped ? We cannot drag ourselves away from an open confession of our faith. We make it in the church ; if it is worth a straw we carry it with us into our daily occupations ; if it influences our private prayers, it follows us into our public acts. Truth may be disliked, d.

(A. voice—" No : Earl Fitzwilliam did not.") And that is the reason, T suppose, why you did not like his son. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) My own grand father was as humble a man as any one I see before me this day. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) His son obtained a good education, and worked his way up to a somewhat distinguished position ; and I hope I do not occupy a despicable position. (Hear, hear, and applause.) I say, then, it is your own faults if you do not get yourselves and your children well educated ' • and, when they are well educated, it is in their power to rise to the most educated and prominent situations that there are in the State.
