4T; r , '~ DrS;ENIAER 21, 1:835 tical crititagiori, &c. In connexion with this, I will.now quote to von the doctrine of intolerance; as it is expressed in the Caiechisni of the Council of Trent :—" Heretici repo, et schitt 4matici, qui ab ecclssia descicerunt—tton neyandum quin in Eccle sice petestate sint, at qui ab co in judicium vocentur, puniantur, et anathensate damnantur." Protestants are heretics—baptized heretics, and consequently within the power of the church, which has a divine right to re strain, to coerce, to compel them to submission, and, failing in this, then in the last resort to inflict upon them a salutary pu, nishtnent. This is the modern explanation, given for the decep tion of liberal protestants, of the meaning of anathema. It is a . salutary punishment in the way of warning to the survivors, as every judicial execution is salutary, or intended to be so, to the surrounding thieves. Hefe'the chairman interrupted the reverend gentleman, and intimated to him that the object of the meeting was to raise a subscription, Mr. M`Netas said—l bow at once to the chair. My object (he continued) was to show that , as the cause of the distress was systematic, so unless something systematic was devised to counteract- it; we should hare an annual recurrence of these appeals for relief. - (Cheers.) But I am reminded by our re spected chairman, that the business of the meeting is to-,make a subscription ; and I say, then;the Irish conspiracy has almost attained its golden goal. If the ministers of the christian church can be starved out of their parishes, the thing is done. Are we prepared to allow it to be done? If not, let us prevent the success of the blockade. Let us throw in provision to the garrison. We call for a liberal—a christian contribution. And, with regard to the application of the money, it is to be employ. ed exclusively in relieving the distress personally endured by the protestant clergy. Other funds are set on foot for sustain ing the rights of the clergy in a court of law, and for other collateral objects. This is for a separate and exclusive use. There is a lay association formed, whose object is to assist the clergy in recovering their legal dues by the expensive process of bills filed in the Court of Exchequer. There is also an asso ciation for the seppert of a school for the sons.of the Irish cler gy.. These are to be kept altogether distinct from our present object. We are, however, hereby supplied with a most tri umphant answer to those persons who refuse to join our subscription on the plea that it is to support the voluntary system, and so play -into the hands of the present opponents of the church . properly. To-those who urge• this, not as a mere evasion, but a real bona fide objection, see say, " Join the Lay Association, and vindicate the majesty of the law by compelling the enemies of the church to pay their tithes;" while to those who hesitate about what might be considered political interfer ence we say, " Join our subscription to feed the hungry and clothe the naked." The organized system of relief has two hands ; one is held out to the advocates of voluntary relief and the friends of suffering indigence, the other 'to those who wish to see the law vindicated; but every Englishman who is true to his profession will take the cause by both hands. (Laughter and cheers.) ,If the Roman system, pledged as it is to, the extirpa . a-as oor eueity, "V . 1 1 :61t.11 iave nothing to `ear— If every protestant in name Were It protestant in deed and in truth—a protestant of Bible principles and reformation steal—if England were wlia(she . is said to be, Protestant Eng land-if her principles were not undermined and sapped to the foundation by miscalled liberality, we should have nothing to fear. (Applause.) Nay, instead of receiving appeals for a hare:subsistenee from th e clergy in Ireland, England would be putting forth a christian hapd to multiply missionaries in that country—instead of extinguishing the light of the. gospel be cause the number of Christians was few, she would see the yreater the necessity for christian ministers. (Cheers.) It is because there exists a system busy in enslaving . men in labours cif self-righteousness, while it leaves him in unmitigated enmity against God and man, that we are constrained to interfere, to ptoclaiin to him the free gospel of . :Jesus Christ, the righteous ness which is of God by faith; which, while it brings a man in to peace with God, never fails to expand his affections towards his fellow men ; so that his heart, being lifted up to commu nion with God in private, there gains an elevation front which the charities, the ciYilization, and the tetideruessei of life flow forth and radiate on every aide, and make his neighbourhood a blessing to himself, and to all around him. (Loud cheers.) The Rev. R. P. BUDDICOM had great pleasure in seconding the resolution. He believed there was not within the pale of Christendom a more meritorious, as there was not a more suf fering, class of men than the clergy of Ireland.—(Cheera.)— Those individuals ought to be assisted by them on their own ac count. They were fighting the battle of the Church of Eng :and, and that not only of the ministers but of the laity, who had as great an interest in the maintenance of religion as the iclergy.—(Hear.) He spoke not of pounds, shillings, and pence; he should be ashamed to do so. He spoke from higher motives. He spoke of the . value of the church to every im mortal soul as a mighty instrument establiShedbv the providence of God for the advancement of true religion, and the spread of everything that was valuable in life.—(Cheers.) He did there fore hope that they would resolve in the spirit of Christian love and Christian liberality that though persecuted their protestant brethren should not be destroyed—though cast down, they should not be forsaken; and whilst attempting to relieve their necessi ties, he felt confident they would be taking the most effectual method of doing good to the Whole population of Ireland. The Rev. J. B. Mom: moved. the , appointment of a commit tee. He considered it a cause of great thankfuluess that God had pa it into the hearts of the people to Owe forward, and relieve the distresses of the Irish clergy. He need not enlarge on the assistance that the Church of England had often render ed to the cause of religion, when the churches abroad had been drooping and in want. Whatever might be the cause of the dis tress of the . Irish clergy, it did nut release them from the obli gation to relieve it. God had thrown the opportunity iu their way, and happy ought they to consider, themselves in being made his instruments. The Rev. C. T. Gr.a PWIN seconded the resolution, which, in common with the preceding, was carried unanimously. The Rev. Mr. IIORNBY, seconded by the Rev. C. G. T. DRIFFIELD, proposed a vote of thanks to the chairman for his able and judicious conduct in the chair. The chairman briefly returned thanks, .and the meeting separated. At the doors a collection was made, which amouuted to the handsome sum of £BO5 ; praiseworthy alike to the liberality and - right feeling of the contributors. REVISING BARRISTERS' COURT, Teasel r. The barristers proceeded with the revision of the list from the letter Dto H. No ease possessing the least interest occurred. Out of 470 names called over, rot more than 150 persons suc ceeded in establishing their claims, and these appeared to be about equally divided between the conservatives and reformers, WLDNESDAY. . The court commenced with the letter 1, and proceeded to the end of M. An immense number of claims were disallowed, in -consequence of the claimants not having paid their rates : these were principally of the reform party, and persons in the lowest grades of, life. There were only too or three cases of any in terest. A person in thereform interest, of the name of Jones, claimed for a house in Hurst-street. A portion of his rates had been ex cused by the magistrates, under the 54th Geo. 111., c. 170, which gives them power to remit the rates of persons who apply to them for that relief on the ground of poverty. Mr. Penington contended, that, although under that act of parliament, a person excused from payment of any portion of his rates was no longer liable to the parish, yet that this was by no means equivalent to payment—that the capability to contri bute to all the local expenses of the borough, and to the poor's rate particularly, was the test of a person's being considered worthy of possessing the municipal franchise—that the muni cipal. reform act din, in fact, expressly provide that no person who had ,received,' parochial relief, within a certain period, should .b* entitled to vote; and what. else could a remission by the justices he considered but a species of parochial relief. This was not a payment within the letter, and certainly not within the spirit of the act. Mr. Atherton, in support of the claim, laboured to show that a discharge to the party was the same as payrneut; and that he being on Linger liable to pay, he stood in the position contem plated by the reform act. The Barrister.—There is no doubt, as between the parish and 'the party, a remission is equivalent to payment; but that is not sufficient to meet the object of this act. Here a franchise is conferred upon certain conditions, and one of the most material of these to an actual contribution to the public burthens; and the claimant not having complied with this condition, we must disallow the vete. Mr. Samuel Johnson, Churchsstreet, appeared on behalf of .frisson, Mr. John Harrison Johnson, who lived with him, and contributed to all the expenses of the house, and had an equal control in the domestic establishment, and was also jointly rated to the poor's-rate. Mr. Penington, in support of the claim, contended that this was sufficient to constitute Mr. Johnson, jun., au inhabitant Isousehblder. Uppo cross-examination by Mr. Atherton, it appeared that no rent was paid to Mr. Johnson, sen., the owner of the house, and that the furniture belonged to the hitter. The revising barrister, after a long deliberation, disallowed the vote, on the ground that no rent was paid by the son. Mr. J. B. Lloyd solicitor, endeavoured to establish his claim fur an office. He proved that he was a moue) , scrivener, and had extensive accounts in that capacity with several parties, and bad epe a er r . oons in his office exclusively appropriated to his book -1: . The barristers said the business of an attorney was the essen tial necupation of Mr. Lloyd, and that they should still adhere to their decision. ,that, an attorney's office .was not a counting house within the act..., Mr- Joseph Motinsey, blacksmith, (Who, we are informed, is a very facetious,gentleman in his neighbourhood and a good Cory',) claimed for a waiehouse in SpartiugLstreet. Upon exa. _suinatien by Mr. Carson in support of his claim, he stated that lie appropriated a room over his smithy as a store for na . ls, chains, and Other articles. Cross-eiainined by Mr. Atherton.—Now, will You tell us what all these important goods, wares, and merchandize consist of, which you keep in this magnificent cock-loft of your's ? Clannant.—Why, I keeps every thing I sells. Mt. Atherton. —But tell us what vou keep. Claimant. —To he sure, I Sells what I have to my shipwrights —(laughter)—they want . nails, and I get things from the coun try, and I makes nails and challis,- and I makes jamb/es, and anchors, and every thing.—(Roars of laughter.) Mr. Atherton.—But do you keep these in your smithy? Claimant.—Surely I sells them to my merchants. I wish you would buy a ton of nails.—(Laughter.) Mr. Atherton.—Now.-Where are your bellows? Claimant (with surprise).—My bellows? Mr: Atherton.—Yes ! Dont you keep them in this very room ? Claimant.-4 keeps nails end chains and jumbles, and any thing else, there.—(Roars of laughter.) Mr. Atherton —Now, you keep nothing in this room but the bellows of the forge. Claimant.—Dont I ? I keeps all manner of things, and I sells them. Mr. Carson.—ls it your practice to blow down the chimney Or up, as they will have the bellows up stairs ? Claimant--There is no chimney. I keeps every thing there. Mr. Atherton to the Court.-1 submit this is not a warehouse Within the letter or spirit of the act. If a miserable small loft, Such as this, which, it appears, is principally appropriated as a Place in which to fix the apparatus necessary for working the forge of a blacksmith is to he construed a warehouse, then any fraction of a building, where any old iron or rubbish is placed, Will give a man a vote. Mr. Carson.—He has spoken 'of new nails, chains, and anchors., Mt. Atherton was proceeding, when a smithy-faced looking radical who was present in the court, and apparently a rival of the claimant, volunteered to prove that there was nothing in the room but the bellows; but, upon cross-examination by Mr. Car son, he said there were bags there, which appeared to be full of nails, arid,iron, and other articles The latter gentleman, there fore; iSrshoritted to the court that this evidence, in lac!, corrobo rated the Claimant's, 'rhe Batrister.—Will you sell a small quantity of any thing? Claimarit.—Yes; I'll sell sixpen'orth of nails. The Barrister.—Well, you shall have your vote, and you may call this a Warehouse or a shop. Which will you have ? Claimant.—l'll call it a warehouse. The'clairttent left the box, apparently much pleased with bis success' in puizling the learned advocate of the reformers. Theatinay..

As there is every probability that the people of the United States will rush headlong into a war with France, and in which they will be encouraged by the wily but treacherOus Russians, we beg leave to present them with a list of the French ships of war, which they are likely to meet "along shore" of the Atlantic sections, or have to encounter upon the ocean. We borrow our information from an article in . the United Service Journal, for. May, 1834, the writer of which we have the honour to know; and a more upright and intelligent officer, holding a high.office in the ser vice of his king, does not exist. The facts are taken al most exclusively from official documents, so that the ut most reliance may be placed on them. SHIPS OF THE LINE—FIRST cLASS.

In 1832 there were cast in the arsenals of France, for the naval service, 1493 guns, and 1241 carronades, all thirty pounders; and the estimates for the service of 1833 state that there were a sufficient number of thirty six pounder.guns and carronades to complete, with the new pieces of thirtyil,the armament for fifty ships of the line, twenty frigates, 'and twenty corvettes. Fifty of PArxrtArt's pieces of eighty had also been cast." This is enough we hope to satisfy our American friends that they have a powerful enemy to engage with. They will find by this, if they rush into the war, that to use a Virginian phrase, they are likely " to come out at the small end of the horn." In the meantime we would most earnestly recommend our friends to ship their goods only in British vessels. It would not surprise us if some "of the American vessels at present an the Liverpool docks should never reach America ! A word to the wise is enough. We congratulate his Majesty's ministers and the peo ple of England that O'CONNELL has left them no excuse for misunderstanding his meaning or misapprehending the nature of his •intentions. If the former do not de nounce him in the King's next speech, as they did in a previous speech, the people of England perhaps will, be fore the expiration of three months, come to the almost unanimous determination of denouncing both the minis ters and their ally, and making short work with the power of the one and the head of the other. DANIEL has addressed a long letter, a compound of bom bast, falsehood, and insolence, to a Leeds paper, which purports to be a reply to Mr. BAINES, of the Leeds Mer cury. In this letter the character of the thief's attorney is transparent enough. - It is DANIEL pleading his own cause. He consequently does not attempt to Meet any of Mr.jimislES'g arguments, hut • contents himself with an explanation of his views, which we shall notice by and by. O'CONNELL feels most hurt - at being called a blun derer. This is like the man. Prince TALLLEY RAND is said to hold as a maxim, that in diplomacy a crime may be forgiven, but that an error is unpardonable. DANIEL entertains the same opinion. He would rather be con sidered a successful scoundrel than the more innocent blunderer--in other words, he would rather be called a rogue titan a fool. _ _ ; This, after all, is purely a matter of taste ; but did it never occur to the Irish beggar that a man may be both Viltany is rarely successful for a long space of time; for it generally, if not invariably, happens that the knave is his own dupe at last, and sinks into the grave an unpitied blockhead, the remains of a very much despised and "unintelligible vagabond." This fate may be O'CoN NELL'S, and at no distant day. In the letter referred to DANIEL explains at considera ble length the nature of the reform in the upper house of parliament which he advocates, and with less than which the imperious mendicant will not be satisfied. He com putes the whole' number of English, Scotch, and Irish peers, those who are and those who are not members cf the House of Lords, to be 620. He proposes to add to this number 180 new peers, new creations by the King, of course, thus increasing the peerage to 800. Of this body of nobles, or rather of degraded nobles, he is will ing that 150 shall constitute the upper house of parlia ment, and thatAhey shall be elected by householders of every grade, as common councillors are elected under the municipal bill, with this difference, that the voting shall be by ballot, and that elected peers shall only remain le gislative lords fo'r five years, one-fifth of their number going out by rotation, and bring elected, or rt , -elected, as the case may he, annually ! This is atran's House of Lords, Or . , .a 4 it ought to. be +~«E-.~- claimants it is eßtietteiv difficult to classify or to ascertt.in wh4 are conservatives and who are reformers. The political bias of such only as claiM to be inserted on the list, on the ground of removal, are generally kown; and the class of voters most likely to be disqualified by frequent removals—those who seldom re side more than six months in any one residence—chiefly belong to the liberal ranks. All new Claimants are, for the most part, necessarily untried men. REVISING BARRISTER'S COURT.' - TILE Barristers will commence THIS MORNING irday,) at.

The absurdity of. the scheme .is not ex ceeded by the arrogance of the Irish bland Pier. At pre sent a member of the lower house can only be elected by a constituency inhabiting dwellings rated to the poor at the minimum scale of £lO per annum. But in O'Cox. NELL'S new assembly of nobles every inhabitant house holder is to have a vote ! To call this insolence, to call it preposterous, and in sulting to the people of England, were using terms by far too mild for the occasion. It is the downright black• guardism of a ruffian revelling in assumed authority—of a vulgar bully whom the King's ministers should be im peached for not having put to death—of a bold, malig nant, and audacious'Araitor, who has too long been al lowed to cheat the gallows, and upon which every man that is hanged is murdered, while O'CoNNELL is walking abroad unmolested. He says he would not touch any of the other privi leges of the House of Peers. He touch! What right has he to challenge the institutions of England in any way?. Are. we so miserably reduced in our own estima tion, so poor in spirit, so cowardly in disposition, so feeble in inte:lect, and so depraVed in morals, that we must take lessons in reform, lessons in improvement, from an Irish swaidler, a fellow eitpelled from all good society, a rapacious vender of seats in parliament, a man who, by his gross venality and corruption, has brought even the reform bill into contempt, who has cheated a poor sim pleton of two thousand pounds, who allowed his own son to sit as judge with the base bribe warm and fetid in his pocket—the bribe received by the said son for the use of his own father—a paltry slave who kneels in the mud before a . barbarous priest, and yet employs him whom he worships to collect pence and farthings from wretched peasants under the terrors of eternal wrath—a fellow like this to offer his treasonableand popish schemes of reform to the protestant people of England, is an outrage upon the, moral feelings, of atir , countrymen which ought not, which must not,•which :cannot, and will not be endaredl If . we-need e must have revolutionis there no honest Englishman of a sufficiently enthusiastic temperathent to lead the way ? Must we import a vile Irish and knavish papist from the wilds of Kerry—a po pular advocate of felons in the criminal courts of Ireland--- a lawyer who has. traded too successfully upon crime— who has made money by the number of his victims, and who has raised the 'cry of oppression in order to placethe wretches at the bar of justice as their hired and paid counsel whom he had wilfully seduced into rebellion ? No, we cannot stand this a single moment longer. If we must have revolution, in the name of decency and national pride let it be commenced by an Englishman— a-madman if you please—but not by a dishonest and un principled Irish. " vagabond" like O'CONNELL. _ . Reader! we have given words to our free thoughts in this matter. We have applied epithets to a vile impos tor—to the enemy of our country and religion—to a base, bad man, who, long ago, should have, by.the fiat of law, either been in his own purgatory or working in the slave chains of New South Wales. But it is riot neces sary that you should indulge •in any such, in our case, necessary vituperation. We are of counsels you are the jury, We know the case; you must judge by the evi dence; and, as far as you find our charges 'proved, you must decide accordingly. Now what is the first charge in the information ? O'CONNELL demands a new creation of 180 peers. Why.? Because he knows that any selection from the present body of 620 legislators would not answer his purpose. Why again ? Because the peers are, by a considerable majority, almost an unanimous one, opposed to the Irish beggar's revolutionary views.' He therefore proposes that 180 new peers should be created. Who is to create them ? The King; but is Lord MELBaURNE, or DANIEL, the master of Lord MELBOURNE, to have no voice in the selection? This is the sore point. We feel assured that no King of England—no member of the House of BRUNSWICK—wouId ever make a peer either at the request of Lord MELBOURNE or any body else, if he felt Convinced that the recommendation was made . . merely for factious purposes. But why, by this popish scheme, founded in fraud and usurpation, create any new peers That itrilear. DANIEL kDOWS that if the present peerri were - exclusively eligible, a strong tory house would be elected. But this would not answer his purpose. He demands 180 new peers, himself, of course, being one, and - his electors the•vile and depraved popish priests of Ireland. He, the thiers attorney, aspires to be a lord. • He is anxious to rule England as he rules Ireland. He asks the people of England to admit an Irish swindler into the first rank of elective nobles ? DA NIEL, the friend of RAPHAEL—the lying voucher for Mr. PATRICK EGAN, of Moate—the solemn liar in the case of ,DAVID MURPHY—the coward with a vow in heaven—the skulking:recreant and police informer against himself, f o r self-protection, in the case of Sir ROBERT PEEL—the leading ruffian in all revolutionary communities—DA- NlEL, with all your impudence, thls. is too' glaring! Humbug Irish priests—train them to the gallows—rob the ignorant—turn the Mass-house into the Fives Courts,, and compel every slave to subscribe his penny—butbear in . mind that the English nation, though of an easy disposi tion, are not so simple or so readily imposed upon as to swallow the garbage of popery even as physic. Certainly your new peers, to be made, according to your scheme, for the benefit of yourself, will not be made or recognised, or honoured or respected, by the people of England. A Derrynane peer would be held in immeasurable contempt. The King pricks a sheriff, and the club: of BROOKES'S elect their members, but a peer elected by O'CONNELL would be deemed an unpardona. ble insult ! But we are disposed to pass over all this as empty swagger and bravado ; and we throw it aside, for the present, in order to arrive ut more important matter. O'CONNELL, in his letter to the Leeds paper, after in dulging in these blustering menaces against the lords, and the people of England, suddenly starts from one ex treme to another, and takes refuge in his favourite pa nacea. He tells us that unless the electors of this coun try, and their representatives in parliament, support him in his revolutionary project against the House of Peers, he will, " with eight millions at his back," repeal the union This isspeaking out in intelligible language, which we trust his present ministerial friends have the capacity to understand. :It meatis this—" If you do not obey me— if you do,not legislate as I direct-4f you do not make• England the ready handmaid and subservientssla%:e to, the popish priests of Ireland, I DANIEL, with the millions at my back, will repeal . the union, dismember the em pire, and convert my ignorant serfs into the citizens of an independent republic, of which I shall be president at first and king eventually."' That is, in plain English, DANIEL'S threat. Lord MELBOURNE and Lord JOHN RUSSELL must understand it in this light ; and they will be traitors to their king and country if they do not so understand it, and make O'CONNELL answerable fur it at the risque of his neck. But we quote his own words : " But, to be serious ; as he has introduced the repeal, and in sinuated that I have abandoned that measure, I deem it but candid to inform the British reformers that I have not abandon• ed the pursuit of the repeal of the union ; it is, on the contrary true, and let Baines make the must of it,that I am as thorough ly convinced as over I was, that Ireland will never be well or honestly governed until she has a domestic legislation of her own. I, therefore, have not abandoned, I have only postponed the agitation of that measure; and,! have postponed it for two rea sons—first, to give, in the full spirit of candour and perfect fair play, room for the entire working out of an experiment of whe.. ther Ireland can have a just and beneficial government withou the repeal of the union. I enter into that experiment fully, heartily, actively, energetically. Should the experiment suc ceed, and Lord Mulgrave and Lord Morpeth are as yet doing all they possibly can to make it succeed—if it succeed, then my judgment will prove to be wrong; but my heart will be con soled by the prosperity of the loved land of my birth. If it fai —as fail I think it must—l will then turn round an the hones reformers 61 Great Britain; I will point out the sincerity with which I have made out the experiment of an imperial legisla tion; I will point out the natural and unpathrble obstacles to its success.

Is he otherwise than selfish who makeS the poor of Ireland his Trey ?—who dines upon the alms of the destitute ?—who robs the starving peasantry.?—whace carriage wheels ate greased with the tears and the blood of his unfortunate countrymen ?—who, with his family, goes to mass in vestments procured by fraud and extortion, and whose very means of subsistence are gained by what is Ire land's curse ?—is this man not selfish. fr Oh no, DA NIEL is a patriot ! ! ! But. in the above extract from his letter we see the plan of agitation which he means to plane. Something must be done to secure the rent, no matter what. If the lords are not extinguished—if our nobles are not degraded. the union must be repealed ! This gentlemen, whigs of England, is your doing. Your Irish taskmaster is deter mined .first to kick your coronets into the kennel, and then make Ireland a kingdom for himself. If he is per mitted to do the one, he will most assuredly do the other. The walls were yesterday placarded with the informa tion that Mr. GEORGE CROSSFIELD, from "conscientious motives," declined standing as a candidate for Lime-street ward. Whether these "conscientious motives" may be an unwillingness to co-operate with Socinianism in attack ing the established institutions of the land, or whether it be thit he has no chance of success, we do not take upon ourselves to determine. One thing, however, is clear, that by the far fittest roan of the three reform candidates has wisely and judiciously withdrawn himself. As from all we hear, Mr. CROSSFIELD is a man of talent and prin ciple, and possesses excellent business habits. Of course- Ow rads. of-the ward,' boiling over with patriotism and. independence, must substitute some person unknown to the present council, somebody at least standing to these gentlemen like puir MATTIE to the Laird of Limmerfield's cousin, seventeen times removed. These flamers, who have published lists over and over again, to exhibit to the town the sin of Sir Thos. BRANCI:ER being Alderman BRANCKER'S son—the iniquity of his worship being the nephew of Sir JOHN TOBIN, and de - claiming with such vociferous lungs as patriots only profess, that municipal reform was wanted, if only to put an end to relatives sit ting at the same council 'board. We say they must surely substitute some independent man who is guiltless of the sin of relationship with any one of the present candidates, Alas ! for coor human nature ! Mr. JOSEPH LANGTON, the brother-in-law of Mr. WILLIAM EARLS, is the gentle man chosen to pop into the vacant niche ! We really must tell Mr. KEET, of Church-street, a resident of the 'ward, that he is a very ill-used man. However talented lie may be, (and his address will not suffer by comparison with those of many of the reform ers) lie must see that after all he is not considered re spectable• enough by his party for a seat in council. His address is excellence itself compared with the dis gusting nonsense of some creature or other who signed ALISON", a week or two ago. We have no objection to Mr. LANGTON if the bur gesses of .Lime-street have not, because he is too good humoured and aristocratic to do any mischief, and as it is likely enough that the new council will require a mas ter of ceremonies to show them how to behave them selves, we know no one more fitted than Mr. LANGTON for that office. As for you, Mr. KEET, and your section, depend upon it you may do very well to help the reform candidates in to office, you are convenient stepping-stones good scaling ladders—decent fascines to fill up the fosse, but they do not think you respectable enough to sit in coun cil with the EARLES, and EWARTS, and LANGTONS, and all the etceteras whose humanity adorns the liberal benches of the tabernacles of Renshaw-street and Para dise-street. Put that in your chibouques, gentlemen, and smoke it as fiercely as you please Among our advertisements will be found an address to our reiiseetable representative iMr. WILLIAMt-RWART, signed, " J. ORANGE," on behalf of the Guardian So ciety of Liverpool. Our readers will perhaps agree with us in thinking that it is as grave and bitter a piece of irony as could possibly be written. We do not say, be cause We have no means of knowing, whether it is or is not a jest, but we judge of the matter by him to whom it is addressed, and in do . ;soit is impossible to read it and refrain from laughing. LONDON LA7'ES7' NEWS. City, Wednesday Ecening, Half-past Serest o'clock. War risks have been done at Lloyd's to a considerable extent to-day, and astrong impression prevails that General• Jackson's message will be anything but amicable. We have seen private letters from New York to-day, all expressing the same feeling. As high as 10 per cent. has been given to-day that there will be war between the two states within the twelvemonth. This idea continues to . depress our market, Consols for the account closing at 911 j , the reduced 31 per cents at 981, and the three per cents. reduced at 90k. Money is by uo means scarce consider ing the time o f year, and this is borne out by the firmness of Exchequer Bills, which bear a premium of 16 to 18. India Bonds are flat at 3 pm. In the Foreign market, those precious delusions, Portuguese and Spanish Securities, continue the chief objects of speculation, and the former were done for the 5 per cents. this morning as IoW as 821, and for the 3 per cents. at 53g. As the day advanced, however, a strong effort was made to advance them, and the former closed at 84 and the latter at 55. In Spanish Bonds, the active bonds left off at 451, after being• at 411. The cause of the heaviness in Portuguese Bonds was 'chiefly a report that the Lisbon letters this morning stated that De Campos, the new Portuguese minister, had expressed his opinion that, in the embarassed state of Portugal, it was im possible that faith could be kept with the public creditor. Of course, this has been stoutly contradicted by the parties here interested in supporting the bonds, who not only deny this but add that, to enable him to duly meet the dividends, it was the intention of the minister to reduce the salaries in all the offi cial departments to the lowest scale and abolish all sinecures and useless offices. From this it would appear that the future disbursement of the interest on the Portuguese liabilities is not secured by any actual fund, but is to depend upon the future savings of the minister. An advance has occurred in Mexican Bonds, which have risen to 39, but we can give no reason for this, as the intelli, gence from the republic is as unfavourable as it well can be. 'Colombia)) Bonds have recovered from their extreme depres sion, 32 tiring the last price this afternoon. Chilian bonds are 43, and Brazilian at 881, very flat. The depreciation in •0118 latter security has been caused by the receipt of advises from Rio Janeiro to the 27th Oct., announcing the fall of the ex change to 38, and the detention of the packet in consequence of the death of one of the regents. Our Northern Bonds have within the last day or two been affected by the warlike rumours prevailing. Belgian Bonds front 1001 1 have been at 991, and they closed this afternoon at 991. Dutch 5 per cents. left off at 1001 x,, the 21 per cents. at 54i Danish Bonds have declined to 751, and Russian to 108. _ _ Our "Share market has betti almost entirely neglected. THE PARTING DINNER! We understand that Mr. Jamer Brancker gives a dinner this evening at the Adelphi to Mr. William Ewart, and sixty-nine other persons, the aristocracy of the Liverpool radicals. Who are the favoured guests we have heard, but do not at present choose to say. But if the weather be favourable we shall have a bone to pick with them on Tuesday next. Meanwhile we may as well state that some of the uninvited are in high dud geon, and are excessively indignant at the partiality of Mr. James Brancker, who, in entertaining the friends of Mr. Ewart, has capriciously and illiberally overlooked his real and only friends—the respectable shopkeepers and small master trades men, who assert that Mr. Ewart owes his return to parliament wholly to their exertietis and influence. Whether these " citi zens" complain justly or otherwise we have no means of know ing; bat that they feel sore, and consider themselves slighted, is openly stated: They have, however, this consolation. This is a parti4 dinneri Mr. Ewart is to be informed that he has no chance at the next elettion; and he in reply is to adMit the fact, thank his aristocratic radicals for past favours, and assure them that his eyes are fixed upon a more convenient borough.

(in Wednesday evening Dr. Thorburn—at the request of the committee—delivered in the large lecture-room Of the Royal Inititution, to the members of the literary,` scientific, and com mercial institution, the first of a course of lectures "On the Ohjecti, AdYantages, and Pleasures derivable front a know ledge o Botany, with some of its applications to the arts, sciences, and purposes of life." A numerous and itighq , re spectable assemblage of visitors and members of the Royal Institution, in addition to the subscribers to the St. Anne street institution were ptesent. Dr. Thorburn first drew the attention of his audience to the necessity for observing a general plan in the exposition of the various and complicated subjects, which the philosophy of botany, in the extended acceptation of the term, embraced. He next gave reasons for describing rather than prematurely attempting to define the ideas and scope of the term "Botany;" and successfully showed by his illustrations how limited were the notions entertained of the nature of a science whose rela tioni are in reality boundless. The progress of scientific botany, from its infancy in Egypt,—Pythagoras's volumes upon plants, &c. Ste. were traced and adverted to, and the views of one of Aristotle's pupils—Theophrastes,' the divine s4ieaker;-4ere compared with those entertained by one of the most modern and able of British botanists. The essential agreement of those views was striking, and the more deserving of remark, inasmuch as the true objects of the science were appreciated fully two thousand years before the birth of Christ. The lecturer then explained the value of sound botanical theory in guiding colonists in their enterprises. After a series of practical examples of the recent applications of vegetable physiology in advancing the progress of agriculture and coin fierce, the lecture was concluded by an interesting account of the enterprise of the celebrated engineer Bremontier in teclaim ing from sterility the shifting sand-hills along the sea coasts, by planting vegetables having peculiar roots, duly availed of for the purpose in view. The results of Bremontier's plan has proved so successful as to have supplied the materials for an ex tensive manufacture of rssin and tar. The applications of the philosophy of vegetable physiology to other sciences, and to the practical purposes of life, were pointed out' durin g the evening in a most satisfactory manner. Dr. Thdrburn's lecture was listened to with matlted attention. This must have been as gratifying to himself as to the comMitie of 'the" institution: We regret to have to announce the death of the Honourable Chas. _Robert - Lindsay, of the Bengal • civil service, second son of the late Earl of Baleactas. He dted at Singapore on the 4th July'last. MY DAUGHTER'S BOOK.—One of the most valuable little presents which can be made at this season of the year is a hand somely got up publication, which has already gone through three editions, called .I.y Daughter's Bouk. We refer our readers for further particulars to an advertisement of this publication in our paper of to-day, by which they will perceive, that it is highly recommended by a respectable portion of the press. CONSERVATIVE LECTURE.-011 Wednesday evening Mr. Lloyd, according to previous announcement, delivered a lecture, on conservative principles in the large room at the Golden Lion. Shortly after seven o'clock, the tune announced for the coin meneement of the lecture, there were in the room from 100 to 200 gentlemen. Mr. Lloyd, on entering, was received with loud cheering. THE IRISH CLERGY.—A meeting was held . at Whitchnrch, Salop, on Thursday last, for the relief of the distressed Irish clergy, Lord Combermere in the chair. The sum of £291 was collected in the course of the flay. CAUTION TO PUIILICANS AND BEER-SHOP KEEPERS.—Three men are going about the outskirts of the town, committing va rious depredat►ons at the beer-shops and public-houses. They paid a visit to Mrs. Dewley, at the Jawbone, Bootle, on Wed nesday evening; and while two of them engaged the landlady in conversatiou, the other contrived tii find his way up stairs, and snake preparations for a removal of everything portable.— One is a tall man, with light-coloured hair; the other two are sharp set—one has bushy black whiskers, and is about 30 years of age. AccroENr BY FlRE.—Early on Sunday morning, the inhabi tants of a lodging-house, in Preston-street, were awoke by the, screams of a negro girl, whose clothes had accidentally caught' fire. Buckets of water were thrown upon her, but the whole.of her clothes were reduced to tinder before the flames were ex tinguished. She was immediately conveyed to the Northern Hospital, where she still continues in a very dangerous state.— Her legs, arms, and body were dreadfully scorched. It appears she was sitting by the fire, having no bed to go to. DETAINING SAILOR'S CLOTHES. —Yesterday, before the Mayor, Anson charged Isaac Tennison, the person with whom he had been lodging, with refusing to give him up his clothes. He acknowledged owing his landlord a balance of 12s. for lodgings, which he had offered to pay if he would give him up his clothes, but which had been refused. Tennison put in a bill for £3 125., in which he charged for seven weeks nursing at a Shilling a day. Anson said he had tendered the money, 125., provided his landlord would give him his clothes, and had paid all just demands against him. This had been refused till he would pay the bill put into court, which he knew nothing about, and he "brought defendant up" in order to compel him to "bear a hand" its " discharging ' his clothes. The Mayor said he doubted whether they could interfere, the debt not . being .a "pretended debt." Complainant had admitted that he owed something for - his lodgings, and therefore the case did not come within the words of the act "pretended debt," and they must settle it between them. His, worship, however, went into the particulars of the bill, when it appeared, as well as it could be gathered from the: conflicting statements, that Anson had al ready paid more than waS'due. The case was adjourned in or der to allow each party time to produce their bills and receipts. BALL AT WARRINGTON. —The attendance at the ball given its Warrington last - ivetl4 - lOr the - henefirof - the Dispensary' and Infirmary, was both numerous and fashionable; nearly three hundred persons were present.

Several other families were un avoidably prevented from partaking of the festivities of.the evening through the lamented death of Sir Henry Hoghton. Dancing was kept up to a late hour.- DEATH OF LORD VERNON.—This nobleman died at Gibral tar on the 18th ult., in which garrison he had settied Lady Vernon for the winter in consequence of the delicate state of her health. His lordship's death was occasioned by a sudden attack of dysentery. Lord Vernon is in his 56th year, and is succeeded in his titles by his son, the Hon. George John, now Lord Vernon. A. Portsmouth paper states that the Harlequin yacht had arrived here with the remains of Lord Vernon on, board last week. The Harlequin has not yet arrived, but is expected every day. ' SIRTRANCIS BCRDETT AND THE WESTMINSTER RADICALS. —A , great meeting of the Westminster radicals took place on Tuesday evening, at the British Coffee House, Cockspur street, Charing-cross, to take into consideration the letter of Sir F. Burdett to the committee of‘Eirookes's Club•house, and to con sider the expediency of inviting 'Mr. O'Con.rie4to stand for that city in the room of Sir Francis, who it was ejected would re sign whenever requested by his enlightened constituents so to do. At half-past seven o'clock there were ten electors and seven reporters present. At eight, with about forty electors as sembled, the business commenced. A Mr. Prout thought that Sir Francis had written the letter for the purpose of breaking up the ministerial majority in the House of Commons. Resolu tions condemnatory of the conduct of the Hon. Baronet were passed by the enlightened forty, who, of comae, are " The Electors of Westminster.", ORGANIZED BANDS OF ROBBERS.-It is stated in a London Morning Paper, that Farnham, Salisbury, Devizes, Basing stoke, and other large towns in the south of England, are in-, Tested with orgaeized gangs of thieves, who not only corninit: nightly depredations upon the inhabitants, but have :also com mitted highway robberies to a considerable number and of alarming extent. GREECE.—The French ministerial journals continue to ac- . cuse Russia of fomenting the troubles in Greece. They insinu ate that England and France are seriously meditating an ex— pedition to maintain the authority of the Bavarian prince. THE LATE CALAMITY AT GREENOCK .—Sir James Shaw. Bart. Chamberlain of the city of London, has remitted a bank . post-bill for twenty pounds to Provost Nlacfie, of Greenock, for the relief of the sufferers from the late afflicting accident which occurred in that town. Hugh Matthie, Esq., of this town has remitted ten pounds to the same gentleman fur the same pur pose, aid William Lindsay, Esq., fifty pounds collected in Li verpool on the 27th and 28th ult. , , Tut?. ST. JAMES'S TM EATRE.—A new Theatre, bearing this ,designation, has been erected in the almost inc redible short space of thirteen weeks, on the site of Nerot's Hotel, ring street, St. James's-square, London, and will be opened in a few days. Mr. Braharn having obtained a licence from the King, purchased the freehold ground on which the Theatre stands at an expense of eight thousand pounds. This specula tion would argue a total change in Brahmin's opinions respect ing theatrical property. When on his examination before a committee of the House of Commons, on the state of the Drama, he said, in answer to the question " Are you the proprietor of arty theatre?"—"No, Sir; I thank God, no part of my pro perty is invested in any theatre, and I intend that it never shall be so invested." Theatres are now almost as numerous as gin palaces in London. Whether they stand in the relationto each other of cause and effect, and their effects acting in combina tion upon the morals of the people are questions that the guar dians of public morals may do well to take into consideration. AN AR A N ANECDOTE.—God gave a king a son, who was extremely cunning. 'l'he king placed him under a tutor, to learn knowledge. The child said to his preceptor, "My dear master,.l see no end.to study; life itself is not long enough to ac'..iire all the sciences; teach me one that can be speedily ac quired, and which will afford me happiness in this world and in the next." "Then practise silence,.' said the tutor. The youth from this moment became mute. His father was in great distress. Supposing the taciturnity of his son to he the effect of disease, he had recourse to physicians and enchanters; all was in vain. The king one day went out hunting, and took his ton with him. A heath-cock uttered a cry, and was taken. "If this bird had been mute," observed the prince, "he would not have been caught." Some one told the king his sot had spoken. The king sent for his som..but could not gei.a word from him. The king was wroth, and beat his son; whereupon the latter exclaimed, " My master bad good ream to inculcate silence ; if I had held my peace I should hate escaped these blows.

Papers tare been received on Wednesday ifte r n oo n f r o n t the Cape of Goo f Hope to the 4th Octoher.. They cornmuni 4 erste, intelligence of some moment, pe a ce having been concluded between hi s excellency the lieutenant-governor and ,the Caffree chiefs, who, 'without, exception, . have irreid. to terms. The treaty Was signed on the 17th September last; at 'Fort Wilt. - shire. It consists of thirteen articles, in the first of which the chiefs and representatives of the.diderent tribes bind them. selves to bear true . allegiance, .and be, good. subjects of his majesty. and to treat Isis enemies. as their eneMies.. By art.. 2, the chiefs,, their tribes, and farnilies, sigree to be. come amenable to the British colonies,• laws,., and to their penalties, , even to those punished with death, and that such' penalties shall he equally incurred if committed by any of the members .of the tribes or families against each other. The' Fingee nation are also to be regarded as, fellow subjects of England.. All. proceedings against the : nretended crime of witehcraft are peremptorily ; forbidden by th; laws. By art. 3, the chiefs engage to send immediate orders for the recall of the depredators in the colony. By art. 4, they engage to deliver up all their muskets in their possession. By art. 5, the governor promises to. afford all the chiefs and tribes protection fur the support and maintenance of their rights and property. By art. 6, the governor ,agrees to allow locations of land to the various tribes, the etteut to be determined by commis sioners, and states the tracts so to be given. Art. 7 states that each chief, in token of fealty, shlrcleliver to officers duly appointed on behalf of his majesty, one fat ox yearly, or, in failure thereof, forfeit his lands, unless granted anew . by the governor. Art. 8 states that ministers of the gospel, schoolmasters, and, when necessary, English magistrates will be appointed within the above locations, and the chiefs and heads of families are to act as magistrates when so required by the governor, each in his location. Art., 9, states that the chiefs and , others shalt not fail to,mako kboicn 0,0 danger they may be aware threateuslbe ,ccilotiy. Art. 10 states the chiefs awl others must, so far as they can, prevent depredations against cattle, &C. Art. 11 appoints she commissions for dividing the lands among the various families. Art. 12 states that when the arrangements are complete, et agent will be appointed to reside on or near the location, with whom the chiefs may communicate.. J . t Art. 13 states that, until the governor shall deem it sate eta beueticial, none of the new subjects can be allowed to cross the Chuznie or the Keikanuna river below its confluence with the former, or by any other wav to enter the old colonial border without a pass front one of the commissioners, on pain of being shot.' - The ratification of the treaty appears to have given great satisfactruo. . • THE UNITED STATES AND FRANCE:—We have just seen a letter from a highly respectable gentleman, win, had very re cently some conversation with the President of the trnited States, in which he informs his correspondent here that Gene ral Jackson expressed himself very strongly on.the subject of the difference between France and America;, andthat, if no thing more satisfactory be, received from France in the interim, the President's Messdft'e will be a " fiery one." But, he add:, the making of war does not rrst with him ; and from all that he can - learn the Senate will pursue a prudent course, and not suf.' fer the Union to be involved in a dispute Wit would he so dins.; trous. The gentleman referred to, and who has the best access to information, has no idea that there Will be any war, though the affair, as it stands, is a check to foreign commerce, which may continue till after Congress meets, when it will be taken up and disposed of in some way.—Oiuricr, Berri.Es.—lt is sotnewhai extraordinary that the legislature in enacting laws relative to weights and measures should have excluded any particular size for bottles. The public are daily defrauded, and that to a con s id era bl e extent, b y w i ne an d ot h er liquors being sold in picked bottles, six ti) the gallon imperial measure. A respectable housekeeper, the other day, purchased a gallon of spirits, which was sent home to him in six bottles. The bottles were emptied in one gallon, imperial measure, and a deficiency of one pint was discovered. This species of fraud and loss will he practised until a legislative enactment be passed, enforcing bottles of every description to be in uniformity with other standard measures. THE WEATHER.—It is curious that while the wenifiericrin tinues so mild, perhaps unseasonably mild here, great com plaints are made of its severity in those places abroad which have acquired a celebrity for their bland temperature. In Italy, so severe is the cold that the people say their clim a te must have been changed; In Paris the c o ld has been intense; arid upon the Rhine, where, during the " season," an unclouded sky is generally observed, no inconsiderable degree of Inconve nience appears to be felt from the weather. its ettetiordinnry severity is noticed in accounts from Drarnstadt ; and at Cob-. lentz the number of wolves is complained of. They are said to, perambulate the fields unmolested in broad day-light, and it is very lucky that the city has walls, otherwise they.wo-uld certain- , ly ravage it. No doubt it will come to us in our turn. S U BS T ITUTE FOR STEAM,—Mr. Galt hai addyesseda letter to the Greenock Advertiser on the subject of his discovery, in which he deprecates comments nn that part of his discovery which he considers "best in the first instance to coMmunicate." Mr. Galt thinks the discovery the most important that has seen made in hydrostatic science, and an nnmeaiureable means of application. " I will develope it," says Mr. Galt, "so that every one may as easily try it as boil a kettle; for, like all trutbs, it is very plain, and. rests on a law of nature as simple as attrac tion. It is indeed a seeming cause of it, and may he essential to it. I only beg a short tune's indulgence till I collect may evi dence together." . ICE WINDOWS.—Sit John Ross, in. the appendix to his Work on the Arctic regions. describes the following ingenious contriv ance among the Esquimaux to obtain windows to their snow huts. " Fur this purpose (says he) a seal-skin is laid on the snow, so managed at the edges that it may contain two inches of water in depth, procured by thawing snow before the lamp. This is immediately frozen into a transparent plate; and such, I presume, is the esteemed value of the fuel used for this pur pose, that these windows are always removed and carried with them in their migrations." AM E RICAN ORATORS.—In peeping in upon the proceedings of retired courts of justice, or listening 'to the harangues deli vered right and-Jett for political purposes by the public men of the United States, whether in the stump or in • the senate i -the Englishman cannot but be struck with the general diffusion of throughout the United States of that gift usually called • the gift of the. gab." • Nothing can be more provoking thaq the fluence of the country •lawyers, in spite of theirtshabbytt!dat4 and to one who Would be inclined to consider quantity tathee than quality, their unhesitating delivery, command of language. and long-windedness, might indeed be a subject of envy.

INDIAN NoRsEMANSHIP.—There is nothing upon which the Indians pride themselves more than their horsemanship. • Al most living in the saddle, they are as much at ease when mount ed as When sitting upon the floor of their own lodge. Many e time I have seen two or three urchins beset some unfortunate horse while quietly dozing or ruminating upon the inairie. After sundry coaxiugs and efforts, they .would succeed in mounting upon its back, and then, without saddle or bridle, and with . a whoop and yell that terrified the sttutliug steed iuto. full gallop; they would scamper madly along, clinking to his mane and to each other with a tenacity which would have asto nished any one but an Indian . — The junior Irriny's Indian Sketches. SAINT NICHOLAS ' S DAY.—Sunclav last was St. Nicholas's Day. Camden tells us that St. Nicholas was the patron of scholars, " beying a learned bishop; but more particularly .of schole boles, as he was remarkable for verie eailie pieties" Chaucer:— " But as', when I remember on thys matere, Saynt Nicholas slant ever in ins presence. For he to CHRIST so' dvd reverence." On his day, in some cathedrals, a boy-bishop was chosen, who; continued in office until Innocents' Day (Dec. 28.) Str v p esa yi that "the memory of St. Nicholas' was solemnised by a child,, the better to remembere the holy man. The popish festival. save ' that while he lay in his cradle he fasted Wednesday: and Fridays, sucithog but once a-day on those days; and his meek - nessand simplicity, the proper virtues of children. he maintained from his childhood as long as he lived,' and therefore,' says' the festival, 'children did him vorship before all othersaints.'" A Rum Svonv.—Mr. Hunt, of North Cartilina, said at a tem perance meeting at New York some time since. that the lovers. of rum are distinguished for inventing modes to dhtain it. In illustration, he said, a man in Orange County, North Carolina, came home with 41 keg of rutu, but was immediatelysiiinnioned, to w.tend court as a juror, and lie was greatly puzzled to knOw what to do with his runt, for his wife, beiug hn intemperate w-n- man, would find it, though he should hide it. He 'finally lasbed a strap round it, and suspended it from it beam above the good wife's reach, and she being lame and infirm, wati•striiposed un able to get at the rum. r - he sy , is gone she placed the sVaili ing-tub underneath, and tt.lf,k a gun loaded with a bullet, held it underneath, and ptilled'ihe trigger. The ball pierced the keg, and let down the contents into the tub. . '•,' . SQUINTING.—ChiIdrn, when they first begin' fri . .perceive,• • always turn an%ieutily to the light--besides the agreeable sen sation, the 'tibia is strengthened by the action of rays. Whenever, therefore, care is not taken so ai to place the in fant that the light may strike both eyes equally, one generally becomes stronger than the other, and It is . not stillieienti ) : known to parents and nurses, that one primary cause of " ocular indecision" (as squinting has been sometimes styled) is an ine quality in the strength 9f the eyes. --- • • A LITVRATIY CURIOSITY.—TayIor, the water-poet, who lived in the time or Charles the F4st;gave the fellow* line a s re - a d.; ing backwards and- forwardi the same Lewd did live—evil 1 did owel." • And adds, " I will give aril man five shillings ' fin' as Mane asi he can make in English." We do not know that the prize 'wag ever claimed.' A recent hislOrian, alluding to the powerful effect of., Sheri dan's eloquence, sayi that he on one .occasion so d e li g h te d i n d electrified the House, that had he irrooediately gone up to the speaker and pulled off his wig., they could not • have brought thcinielies to testify any displeasure. CeSURCH PsALsionv.—lt would be well if all our parochial el/Caches would imitate the example tet in a portion of those in this city, with respect to the performance of what ought to be the most inspiriting and delightful pail of public worship, unit ing in the vocal Praises of God. The invitation of the clerk— " Let as sing to the praise and glory of Ge,d"—is in the gene rality a merely empty form of words. The, congregation in- - deft' . stand up, but, as to joining in the Melody; that is no• part, of their business, and the clerk is left to quaver unsupported through a solo of five or six stantas,.Ontil that winch should awaken the most sublime feelings nufortenately tau often produces,jt ludicrous effect. What is it that gives to the dissent- , Int* congregations its fulness of flow and its soul-euttortong effect?—the united harmony of the congregation. Eut in,sonio of those churches to which we allude, it en arcompanyingtulte of praise, from any pew, should accidentally . thingte itself with the clerk's feeble tenor, the congregation will turn round and fix a look upon the poor vocalist, as much as to say, "1 woo t iee' . who that person is, who is so rulyor.as to sing." We are.glad that in. some of our churches a better spirit prevails ; it is. to be regretted, however, that it is not general:— nrk Cesitrcsvit.
