The profession of letters in China is adopted- with a view to office in the civil service, to attain the judges' bench and magistracy, or, perhaps, the government of provinces, or, it may even be, a seat in the ministerial cabinet, guiding the'coutrils of the great emperor :him self. Such elevation is possible to the poor scholar, the humble student of Confucian principles; and, tempted by the prospect, almost every family of a little property dedicates one or more of its sons to the study of books. But, of the myriads of candidates throualiout the empire, a few only can attain the degrees which, render them eligible to office; and, of those who are so far qualified, but a very small number are actually chosen to office. But those who are not chosen, and who have property,. can, of course, get on well enough in the world ; others are usually a burden to their kindred and friends.. Some become private tutors or public schoolmasters; but the frequently recurring examination for higher degrees calls persons away from those duties, and they seldom do well unless they abandon the profession and pursuit. He who lives in the country, if he has attained the sew tsae degree, mud repair, however distant his residence, to the provincial chief city to be examined for the next degree, that of kJn fin. And he who has acquired this degree must repair, every three years, from the extremities of the empire to Peking, to try for the tsin sze degree. In this manner a man's time and resources are frittered away, and, if unsuccessful, he passes through life a continual prey to disappointment. Besides, there is a pride of caste cherished by these tuft shoo jin, or book-reading men, as they call themselves, which is a hindrance to to their entrance on any useful calling. They would rather beg of their kindred or friends, or even of the pub lic, in the character of " gentlemen scholars," than put their hands to some useful occupation. It is to be re gretted that the government allows such an idle course of life as is that of the unsuccessful candidate, by at length rewarding those who, without merit, have persevered to old age in this unproductive occupation, rewarding them with the degree they have so long sought, when its at tainment has ceased to be advantageous. The following is a portrait of a living unsuccessful scholar. A few days ago, a man about forty-eight years of age, with a respectable head, but clothed in filthy, ragged, worn-out garments, passed and repassed before my window, now and then looking up. Being engaged, I took no notice of him at the time. The next day he came again, and seated himself on a stone opposite the window, looking up occasionally. Observing this, I sent a servant, one of his own countrymen, to ask him if he wished for any thing. The man returned and said he was a north-countryman, and did not want any thing; lie was waiting for somebody. Knowing the unwilling ness of natives to reveal the truth to each other, I sent and asked the poor ragged stranger into the house that I might speak to him myself. He came, and, as soon as the back of the other Chinese was turned, he knelt down before me and knocked his forehead against the floor, then rose and unrolled a dirty paper, containing. a state ment of what he was. He Was a native of Fuhkeen province, a ken jin gra duate, and had been thrice at Peking, trying for the next degree, without success. He had exhau s t e d all his own money, and had tried to earn a little by writing scrolls and papers, but could seldom get above two hundred cash a-day ;he had not sufficient fond, and his raiment bad been reduced to what I saw. The other day• he wanted .to kneel down in the street and beg of me, but Chinese were constantly passing and he was ashamed. I gave him a dollar to satisfy his immediate want of food, and bid him come again in two days, that I might have time to think what to do for him. I then sent natives to inquire about him. All they could learn was, that he was one of those north countrymen who, beingfriendless and without employment, sink into a state of beggary; instances of which frequently occur. There was no sus picion of his being a bad man. He came, according to appointment, in the same filthy rags, but having his head clean shaved and his beard dressed. I had been thinking" how to clothe him, and feared it would be expensive should f employ my own people, who would make a job of it, and take a large per centage. I therefore asked my beggar friend himself fur what he could get a second-hand suit of clothes. He immediately made a minute estimate of the cost of each article, and thought that for two dollars he could dress hirtiself in a summer suit of clean second-hand clothes. Pleitfd at being able to supply his wants so cheaply, I gave him three 'dollars. He returned in about two bout* bringing a complete suit, neatly wrapped up in paper, and three-quarters of a dollar left. Yesterday, he appeared in clean decent rai m ent. I converse d two hours with him concerning Formosa, Ningpo, Soochow, Peking, &c. He is, of course, acquainted with his na tive dialect, Fuhkeen; be also converses in the Manda rin dialect elegantly. He read and wrote in my presence. I have no doubt of the general truth of his story. His father held the office of Ghekeen for many years, from which he retired about twelve years ago, at the age of eighty, having acquired or saved only about six thousand dollars. Part of this he distributed among three sons, of whom my friend Dr. Ting is one. Allured by the fame of its riches and lib era lity, h e came t o C an t on . He has thrice been assisted to repair to Peking, to seek higher honours and office; but he almost despairs of further aid, for " How," said he, " can I hope tkat Heaven will rain down three hundred dollars ?" HoWever, he means next year to try his patrons once. more. If he fails this time, Ting intends to abandon the pursuit, for he will then be in his fiftieth year; he will then conclude that it is his destiny to he pour. Like most of the Confuscianists, lie is intellectually a proud, self-sufficient fatalist, apparently resigned and yielding, but not humble—giving up ex ertion and submitting to opposition, but with undiminish ed pride of spirit. For these men never take blame to themselves, but charge all the ills that befall them to their destiny. Such is a specimen of an unfortunate Chinese literary adventurer. He has classical learning, but not much use ful knowledge beyond an acquaintance merely with what he has seen. He asked me, when we sail beyond Eng land and go as far as it was possible for us to go, what it is we at last find—on the supposition that the earth is a plain surface! As long as China secludes itself from the rest of mankind, it must remain ignorant and conceited. If men were merely brute animals, the present policy might be a wise one; but, since a rational nature is cha racteristic of man, the Chinese certainly injure them selves by their exclusiveness.—Chinese Repository. =rum .... THE PROFESSION OF LETTERS IN CHINA. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. DUBLIN COMMISSION.—The case for the petitioners closed on Saturday evening, not abruptly, as it is stated by the radical papers, but advisedly, and in strict accord ance with the course of proceeding agreed upon by the parties two months since. All the classes of votes ob jected to had been disposed of, and the result is, that the clearest evidence has been given, shewing that upwards of five hundred individuals polled for Messrs. O'Connell and Rutliven who were legally dis,qualified, and w h o possessed no right w h atever to the franchise. Of the nature of the decision no one can entertain a doubt— no, not even the a d v i sers and supporters . of the sitting members ; and hence all the-rigmarole about conspira cies, and the affectation of horror at the development of a plot exclusively of their own 'contrivance. That a conspiracy did exist, and one as deep and flagitious as ever was concocted, is perfectly true; and that it was hatched by those who sought to bring discredit on the petitioners and their case,- is equally- certain. Indeed, the thing is so perfectly apparent—so self-evident to every one 'who looks at the case with a dispassionate eye; (and so morally convinced are we that it will so appear when the knot comes.to .be unravelled in a court of justice,) that we shall not condescend to ot&r a word in defence of those who have been made the subject of unmitigated slander. The Freeman's Journal of to-day says:—" Neither Mr. O'COnnell nor his friends and agents, nor Mr. Costello nor his agent, need the prof ferred services of the petitioners and their agents." We can very well imagine--the object and determination of the latter being to bring every minute and collateral branch of this iniquitous plot into the face of open day, that their " services" may be very inconvenient to those who have other and different ends in view ;but it will not do. Mr. W es t an d th ose engage d with him are resolved to prosecute with the utmost rigour of the law those who, f or th e b asest purposes , m i s l e d an d d ece ived him ; and if we are rightly informed, there be some now before the public who are likely to cut anything than a respectable figure in the transaction. This is not the first attempt at gross deception that has been essayed— although from the extreme ingenuity with which it was prepared, and the corroborating circumstances by which it was supported, it. succeeded better than the plan by which a certain person was to have been the seconder of Mr. West upon the hustings. The persons engaged in that plot will understand us, and for the present it is not necessary that others should.—Dublin Evening Mail. We learn from the Morning Chronicle, that the Irish agitator has at least one copyist in the celebration of the Recess-Saturnalia, when, as by a natural process, the dregs come uppermost. "On Friday," says our con temporary, " the blues of Newark gave a dinner ; and after the multitude had been gratified by walking in pro cession around the well•stored tables, tha dinner being a cold repast, the sergeant, as he is familiarly called by his friends, entered the hall, which was very tastefully feet_ rated with flowers, flags, &c." It must be owned that the radicals of Newark are more easily gratified than their brethren of the north, since the sight of .a cold dinner, which they are only permitted to look at, serves the purpose. One hundred and seventy only, it appears, sat down—the gratification of the rest was the least gross possible ; awl yet, if we are to believe the reporter, these abstemious admirers of a cold dinner are commensurate with all the honest and industrious inhabitants of Newark. , Well, the 170 sat down to honour, in the person of Griffith Jenkins, attorney, the fitting representati their honesty ; and that person, now in the dignV character of Sergeant WildeAktdressed the compan, The John Bull reminds us of several public men, the worst and meanest of wham is degraded by a comparison with Mr. O'Connell; and one of whom (the late Mr. Cobbett) is, we think unjustly, placed in such associa tion, and otherwise unjustly dealt by—the John Bull, we say, reminds us of a list of public men who have suc cessively .occupied the agitator's stage, without producing any permant evil to the country. The following is our contemporary's list : "The conservative papets play O'Connell's game by talking of him. " Do they not recollect that poor Mr. Henry Hunt, the re spectable burner of rye and maker of blacking, infinitely a braver wan, and of a better breed than O'Connell, was once a great creature, and had a triumphal entry into London? He saw his folly, and repented—he found that be could do nothing, and he went out of the world unheeded and disregarded. Cob bett, ten thousand times the man that O'Connell ever was, or ever will be, as to intellect, placed himself on a pinnacle under every disadvantage. Cobbett made a splendid income of his talents—not by begging. He did not preach up the'poverty of. the people, and screw the pence wit of the pockets of the poor; by the display of talent he acquired a splendid fortune—kicked down again by speculations, injurious only to himself. He was a political giant—he died at Barnes of a cold in his head, and it' a rushlight had gone out, it would have created just as much sensation. . _ . " - Colonel Despard, a gentleman of high character and cou rage, went one step beyond these patriots, and linked himself with the people, and founded a society, consisting of Lander the cobbler, Broughton the milkman, and God knows how many other unhappy wretches, for the purPose of murdering the king, and overturning the government. Dcspard, we say, was a gen tleman : he had accomplices—we go farther, and say, we know those accomplices, and know that they still live—live, loyal and unsuspected. He might have betrayed them, and saved him self—he chose the Roman alternative, and died. Who cared ? In twenty-four hours after this man and his victims—for his they were at second-hand--were sledged, hanged, beheaded, and quartered, no human being cared for them or their fate, and their names even now are forgotten. Later came Thistlewood and his associates: their scheme was of an infernal character—nothing more than annihilating the cabinet ministers at dinner at my Lord Harrowby's—shoot ing the covey sitting—and what a disclosure of feelings and principles was there then made. There was a hitch in the plot —one fellow could not be ready to bring up the artillery from a depot in Gray's Inn-lane, because he had to carry home a pair of shoes at seven o'clock; another man could not undertake to seduce a battalion of the guards, because he had to go round with milk to his customers ; and yet Thistlewood, an extremely clever man and a good orator, had the power to enchain these men, and lead them to an enterprise wh,ch was as nearly suc cessful as possible. " What happened to this man ? He was a patriot, and idolized by the ' unwashed;' and when he was tried and con victed, the ' unwashed' said, • Hang Mr. Thistlewood NEVER. ! ' !' and we perfectly remember it being currently reported that this' would-be deliverer of his country would never he executed, or if lie were, it must be on the top of New gate, for that two hundred thousand men were ready to rescue him, or die, if he were hung in the ordinary place of execution. " When the morning came, the illustrious patriot was hanged, exactly as every other murderous scoundrel had been hanged oreviously, upon the new drop in the middle of the Old Bailey. His head was cut off, and held up as the head of a traitor, and the same process was performed upon all the rest of the party who had proposed to drop in sans facon at Lord Harrowby's dinner; and sn perfectly indifferent was the mob to the signs, that—it is positively true—towards the end of the protracted execution, the mob, who tame to weep, began to laugh. " Why, what is O'Connell more or less than these, as to po pularity ?"—Standard. An erratic body was discovered early in ,the morning of yesterday, (25th inst.) .in the direction of Largs; but the morning being wet and cloudy, an accurate observa tion, from the passing glimpse obtained of it, was im practicable. It has been seen, however, in many other places; and the best astronomers are of ! opinion, that its orbit is absolutely unique—that its body is not self-lumi nous, appearing biggest when in 'opposition—and that the radiance or tail (a long one, though little of it seen here) is like the body of the Comet itself, a lucid vapour, so diaphonons that.even without the aid of a glass it may be readily seen through. This Comet has been distinctly visible from the Calton Hill Observatory, the Glasgow Observatory, and the Brisbane Observatory at Largs ; and though from the latter seen at an early hour in the morning, it has appeared a la soirée in other parts of the land. The tail of this Comet will be gradually seen lengthening as it advances towards the west, and some astronomers are even afraid,. that, from the immense length 'of that tail, its vast tendency to ignition, and its coming so much- in contact with some parts of our Planet, the British Isles may be scorched, or even, in some places, set on fire. There seems to be some differ ence of opinion among astronomers, about the period of its return—it being so very erratic, that they have no data on which to ground any thing like accuracy of calcu lation as to its time of re-appearing; and its return, attended with so much risk, that they trust if it does appear . again, like many other luminous bodies' of . that description, it will be after a long interval, and when shorn of its ignious heatns. There is supposed by some to be a peculiarity in the Jaws of attraction, as regards this Comet, and it is supposed we are likely to have some interesting remarks upon this subject front the scientific pen of a Brewster, who, through the aid of a few good glasses, has had better opportunities than most philo sophers of viewing the Comet in the greatest proximity. But others again believe, and I think more correctly, that the same laws of attraction by which the other parts of our -Planetary system are regulated, may be also traced to, the O'Connell Comet—namely, "that the ten dency of bodies to be arttacted towards it is in the inverse ratio of their magnitude." - P.S. The above Comet will be seen to great advan tage in the Papal States. , 26th Sept., Duelling and the Laws of Honour examined, upon the Principles of Common Sense and Revealed Truth. By J. C. BLIJETT. London : Seely and Co., Fleet- street. In this volume the author has embodied all the argu ments that have been advanced—perhaps all that can be adduced—against the practice of duelling. Although we are not disposed to enter the lists with Mr. Bluett in de fence of duels on slight and trivial, or, indeed, on any occasion, we much question whether duelling be an evil of sufficient magnitude to require his interference, parti cularly at a time when there are no good grounds for sup posing it to be on the increase. In seeking to improve the moral and religious feeling of the people, we should not altogether overlook their manners, by which the for mer are . so powerfully influenced. The dread of sum mary- vengeance, the fear of being called to a personal account, the horror of sustaining an argument at twelve paces distance from an antagonist, with the chance of be . - ing silenced by the touch of a ltair trigger, represses those wrongs seising from intemperance of speech and action and a thousand other imOertinences and insults which no positive laws can prevent or adequately punish. The professed duellist may be very safely left to the punishment invariably inflicted upon him—the scorn and contempt of the world. 111Wa a speech (let not our readers be alarmed at the awful an nouncement; for we will neither copy nor analyse the prodigious thing) of two and a half hours' duration. The speech was, on the whole, as cold as the dinner ; and, un doubtedly, left a fair balance between those who had par ticipated of both, and those who escaped the learned ser geant's eloquence. There was a repetition of all that was said last year. about the impropriety of dismissing the Whig ministers; with ,a new reading by the learned sergeant of that maxim of the British law, that " the King can do no wrong." Blackstone had given an ex position of the rule which . was satisfactory to our fatherS. Et was as follows : " Besides the attribute of sovereignty, the law also ascribes to the King. in his political capacity, absolute perfection. The King can do no wrong. Which ancient and fundamental maxim is not to be understood, as if every thing transacted by the government was of course just and lawful, but means only two things. .First, that whatever is exceptionable in the con duct of public affairs is not to be imputed to the King, nor is he answerable for it personally to his people; for this doctrine would totally destroy that constitutional independence of the crown, which is necessary for the balance of power to cur free and active, and therefore compounded, constitution." Mr. Sergeant Wilde improves upon this. He asserts the real meaning of the maxim to be, that " the King, great and powerful as he is, armed and protected by pre rogatives of all sorts though he be, has yet no preroga tive, nothing attachable to his kingly state, which will warrant his doing any wrong." Now, this is vastly fine balderdash ; but, with submission, nothing but balder dash. When was it ever heard that any one was .armed with an express power of doing wrong ? Who, indeed, would regard the offer of such warrant as anything short of the grossest insult ? Why, even if a drunken client inserted in his warrants to an attorney a license to cheat him, the client, out of his estate, there are few attorneys who woaa not prefer erasing the license and acting upon it by the aid of ingenuity not expressly authorised. The meaning of the maxim, like the meaning of all law maxims, is practical, not theoretical. It is not that "the King can do no wrong" in any abstract sense of the pro position, but simply that the King cannot be questioned for doing wrong in anv court of law or Parliament; fur it is of s uch things that laws treat. What would be the use of the maxim, according to Mr. Wilde's reading ? All the disputes,that have divided mankind from the creation have had reference to this single point—what is right and what is wrong? Whops to judge in the case of a ICing ? Are we to have another high court of justice in West minster-hall, and another Sergeant Wilde to manufac ture a " great seal" for its commission to hang loyal men like poor Burley of the Isle of Wight, as a first ex ample in the revolution, and to make himself recompense for his trouble from sequestrated estates?—Standard. POPULARITY-A PARISH SKETCH. Our curate is a young gentleman of such prepossess ing appearance and fascinating manners, that within one month after his first appearance in the parish half the young lady inhabitants were melancholy with religion, -and the other half desponding. with love. Never were so many young ladies seen in our parish church on Sunday before ; and never had the little round angels' faces on Mr. To..litin's monument in the side aisle beheld such devotion on earth as they all exhibited. He was about 'five and twenty when he first came to astonish the parishioners, parted his hair on the centre of his forehead in the form of a Saxon arch, wore a brilliant of the first water on the fourth finger of his left ,hand (which he always applied to his left cheek when he read prayers); and had a deep sepulchral voice of unusual solemnity. 'lnnumerable were the calls made by prudent mammas on .our new curate; and innumerable the invitations with which he was assailed, and which, to do him justice, he. readily accepted. If his manner in the pulpit had created -an impression in his favour, the sensation was increased tenfold by his appearance in private circles. .Pews in .the immediate vicinity of the pulpit or reading desk rose in value: sittings in the centre aisle were at a premium: an inch of room in front of the gallery could not be pro cured for love or money; and some people even went so far as to assert that the three Miss Browns, who had an obscure family pew just behind the churchwardens', were detected on Sunday, in the free seats by the communion table, actually laying wait for the curate as he passed to the vestry! He began to preach extempore sermons, and even grave papas caught the infection; he got out of bed at half-past twelve o'clock one winter's night to half-bap tize a washerwoman's child in a slop-basin; and the gratitude of the parishioners knew no bounds—the very churchwardens grew generous and insisted on the parish defraying, the expence of the watch-box.on wheels, which the new curate had ordered for himself to perform the funeral service in, in wet weather. He sent three pints of gruel and a quarter of a pound of tea to a poor woman who had been brought to bed of four small children, all at once—the parish were, charmed. He .got up a subscrip tion for her—the woman's fortune was made. Ile spoke for one hour and twenty-five minutes at an anti-slavery meeting at the Goat in Boots—the enthusiasm was at its height. A proposal was set on foot for presenting the curate with a piece of plate, as a mark of esteem for his valuable services rendered to the parish.----,The list of supscriptions was filled up in no time; the contest Was, not who should escape the contribution but who should be the foremost to subscribe. splendid silver inkstand was made, and engraved with an appropriate inscription; the curate was invited to a public breakfast at the before mentioned Goat in Boots: the inkstand was presented in a neat speech by Mr. Gubbins, the ex-churchwarden, and acknowledged by the curate in terms which drew tears from all present—the very waiters were melted. One would have supposed that by this time the theme of uni vet sal admiration was lifted to the very pinnacle of popu larity. No such thing. The curate began to cough four fits of coughing between the Litany and the Epistle, and five in the afternoon service. Here was a discovery —the curate was consumptive. How interestingly me• lanchuly! If the young ladies were energetic before, their sympathy now knew no bounds. • Such a man as the curate—such a dear—such a perfect love—to be con sumptive ? It was too much. Anonymous presents of black currant jam and lozenges; elastic waistcoats, bosom friends and warm stockings, pouted in upon the curate until he was as completely fitted out with winter clothing as if he were on the verge of an expedition to the North Pole ; verbal bulletins of the state of his health were cir culated throughout the parish half-a-dozen times a-day ; _and the curate was at the height, indeed in the zenith of his popularity. About this period a, change came over the spirit of the parish. A very quiet, respectable, dozing old gentleman, who had officiated in one chapel of ease for twelve years previously, died one fine morning, with ' out having given any notice whatever of his intention. The circumstance gave rise to counter-sensation the first ; and the arrival of his successor occasioned counter-sensa tion the second. He was a pale, ttiin, cadaverous man, with large black eyes, and long straggling black hair; his dress was slovenly in the extreme; his manner un gainly ; his doctiines sterling ; in short he was the very -,„ • Alio antipodes of theeura te. C rowds of our female parishioners flocked to hear himi at first; because he was so odd-lOok ; ing, xo expressive, then because he - preached so ! and at last, because they really thought that, after all, there was something about him which it was quite ion possible to describe. As to the curate, he was all very well ; but certainly, after all, there was no denying that • —that in short the curate.wasn't a novelty, and the •other clergyman was. The inconstancy of public opinion is proverbial; the congregation migrated one by one; the curate coughed till he was black in the face—it was-in vain. He respired with difficulty—it was'equally in effectual in awakening sympathy. Seats are once again to be had in any part of our parish 'church, and our cha pel of ease is going to be enl arge d, as it i s crowded to suffocation every Sunday! THE CYCONNELL COMET. TIIE LIVERPOOL STAN DA [U) UNNECESSARY OATHS. The new act for the abolition of unnecessary oaths comes into operation to-morrow, and as no voluntary declaration will be received by the magistrates except in the form prescribed by the statute, without alteration or omission, because an indict ment could not be sustained for...making a false declaration, if the prescribed form, were not strictly adhered to, it. may be use ful to present it to our readers : "I, A. B. do solemnly and sincerely declare that and I make this solemn declaration, conscientiously believing the same to he true, and by virtue of the provisions of an act made and p asse d in the year of the reign of his present Ma jesty, intituled, 'An act to repeal an act of the present session of parliament, intituled an act for the more effectual abolition of oaths and affirmations taken and made in various depart ments of the state, and to substitute declarations in lieu thereof, and for the more entire suppression of voluntary and extra-judi cial oaths and affidavits; , and to make other provisions for the abolition of unnecessary oaths.' " Declared and subscribed at this - day of 1835, before me." It is to be observed that the blank as to the year of the King's reign is not.to be filled up by referring to the heads of the pa g es of the act "sth an d 6 t h G u l ie l m i IV., cap. 62." It would he correct to say that the act was made and passed in the session of Parliament, but to the particularyear in which the act was made and passed; and as it received the royal, assent on the 9th of September, which day occurred in one and not in two years of the King's reign, the blank must be filled up with the word "sixth." And seeing that the bill was not concocted till long after the sixth year of the King's reign had commenced, it is puzzling to account for the blank having been left, it being a matter.of certainty that the word sixth must be inserted. • The 18th clause gives the magistrate unlimited discretion as to the matters which may be declared before him. It recites that it may be necessary and proper in many cases not enumerated in the act to require coufirmatiun of written instruments, alle gations, proof of debts, execution of deeds and other matters. It therefore anthorises the magistrate to receive a declaration on those matters " in the form in the bc tied ule to this act an nexed, imnd if any declaration so made shall be false or untrue in any material particular, the person wilfully making such false declaration shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanour."--- London paper. THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND Durand() saecula v cit."—Virgil. CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATIONS. WORCESTERSHIRE.—The first anniversary . meeting of the West Worcestershire Conservative Association was held on Wednesday last, at the Hop-pole Inn, Worcester, John Brown, Esq. of Lee Castle, in the chair. The meeting was resp e ct a bly attended by the principal gentlemen and yeomen of West Wor cestershire and gentlemen of the city of Worcester. Sr ROUD.—The Gloucestershire Chronicle of Saturday contains an account of the first anniversary dinner of this association, which took place on Wednesday last. After the toasts— " Church and King," "The Queen," "The presumptive heiress of the throne, the Princess Victoria, and the rest of the Royal Family," "The Duke of Wellington and the Army," and "'l he Navy of England"—had been given, the Chairman proposed the health of that patriotic statesman, " the cotton-spinner's son," which was received with enthusiastic cheers. The Chairman, W. Playne, jun., Esq., in thanking the com pany for having drank his health, concluded by saying, " May the noble machine framed by our ancestors never be put out of order by unskilful workmen. Grease the clogged wheels with conservative fat, put your shoulders to the wheel, raise the steam, and all will be well." Mr. Ilallewell gave—" Prosperity to this loyal and patriotic Association." In explaining its objects, he said, " This asso ciation, you are aware, was formed twelve months ago, when we achieved that memorable victory which secured the return of our worthy and excellent representative, Mr. Codrington, to parliament. The sole object we have in view is, the mainte nance of the British constitution in church and state, the funda mental principles of which we have briefly, but emphatically, described as A LIMITED MONARCHY—AN HEREDITARY PEER AGE—A FREE HOUSE OF COMAIONS—AND AN ESTABLISHED CHURCH.' " About eighty gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood at tended the dinner, and thirty-three new members were admitted. Lord John will not be permitted to walk over the course at the next election. SPECIMENS OF DISSENTING MODESTY. Extracted from Advertisements in the " Evangelical Magazine" jfirr August, 1835. "To destitue Churches of the Independent denomination within thirty miles of London.—A Minister of Christ, called by God to the Work, whose labours have already been blest in the conversion and edification of souls, is desirous to be found amongst a united and praying people who love. a faithful and spiritual dispensation of the truth, and where a field of useful ness [mind the phrase presents itself. Salary, to obtain food and ra►ment, is all that is required."—(4l) "To Destitute Churches.—A pastor of 'On Independent Church is desirous of removing to a large sphere of usefulness.—[Mark the phrase!]—He is an acceptable preacher, 'decidedly evan gelical, trury pious, zealous. and devout; and has fur several years been a successful minister of 'Christ."—(l2.) " A Minister of Calvinistic principles would be happy to sup ply any congregation iu the country. Salary will not be any objection, ►f there !s a prospect of usefulness—[again F]"—(2B.) _ . So much for the modesty of the Mawuorms. Now come we to evidences of the exelusicism which we have denounced. Here be woofs : " Wanted a steady youth as an apprentice to a tailor in a Dissenting family."—(::s.) "To Silkmercers.—Wanted immediately, in a Dissenting Es tablishment, a pious young man of respectable connections, who is gentlemanly in bis address and manners, a thorough trades-, man and efficient salesman."—(B2.) •' To Drapers, &c.—Wanted, an active young man as assist ant—a Dissenter would be Preferred."—(Bs.)—This advertise ment passim. " Wanted, a youth of Dissenting principles and good educa tion as an apprentice to a chemist and druggist?'—(ll2). Here we have a pretty array of arrogance, hypocrisy, and uncharitableness, blended together under the guise of humility and godliness—the leading feature in each advertisement of piety being (be it remembered) opposition to the Church. "When bad men combine (to use the well-known sentence of Burke's), good men should unite." The Dissenters have . grown to the power they possess by union—let Churchmen be wise in time— " fas est ab hoste doceri." They must slumber no longer. When the objects of their opponents is mere ungodly, Worldly gain, they must be met and foiled with their own weapons. SHIPWRECK AND Loss of LIFS.-It is our painful duty to record that the Brothers, of Galway. commanded by Mr. John M'Donogh, laden with marble, from Galway for Belf ast , was overtaken with a tremendous gale of wind from the so ut h west on the 20th current, when about thirty milt:: to the n ort h of Enistrahull Lighthouse, and at three o'clock p.m. she w as s t ruc k by a heavy sea, which carried off everything on deck, and com pletely disabled her. One of the crew was swept off the deck, and immediately disappeared. In the course of ten minutes after she was struck by the sea she sunk. The captain and those surviving of the crew betook themselves to toe boat, bring_ ing nothing out of the vessel. To increase their misery the boat was so much damaged that two could hardly keep her free. They remained in this perilous situation, at the mercy and fury of the Atlantic, for nearly two days and two nights, having no thing to subsist on except a few biscuits soaked with silt wat er , and blowing the whole time a very heavy gale of wind from the south west. About two o'clock on Thursday morning they were driven on the shores of Searbro', where, to the credit of Mr. M'Kellar, the tacksrnan, and other inhabitants of the island, they were kindly received, and their distresses timeously and humanely relieved. They were so reduced by their sufferings, when cast ashore, as to be almost unable to walk. They are now , taken on beard this steamer, to he conveyed to the Clyde by Captain M'Pherson, who has done every thing in his power for their comfort which their weak and destitute state so much de manded. When the state of the weather and the dangerous sea, through which they passed in such a miserable boat are consi dered, it will be admitted that it is seldom so miraculous an escape falls to be recorded, which can only he attributed to the kind interposition of the Almighty God, who lots out the desti nies of his creatures, and in his wisdom relieves them in their distresses.

From AIOaTALITY, A Poast, SUNG IN SOLITUDg." By Thomas Cambria Jones, Esq. Laud, laud - to Hire who gave delicious sight, That I may, warned by thee, thou marv'llous sphere Of the good Spirit's glory, wisdom, light, Behold thy face, as now thou (lost appear ! I could bow down in adoration here, And proffer prayers to thee—thou art so bright— So like a palace of the Infinite— So like the Omnipotent in all thy ways— Walking unchanging through the boundless clime Companionless—with unexhausted rays, Blessing the earth; whilst all things lade away, Thou, god-like, goest on with mighty Time, Ucalter'd in tby lustre— Spring of day— And universal visible sublime ! The idol yet of millions! Mystery, Whose birth no intellect can date—whose fall Is desolation to existence— Thee I could adore in love continual. 0 I have often wished that I could go And live within thy realm of warmth and glow, Transfigued to a beam of the tine fire, That the Most Holy ray'd thee with, when He Bade night and chaos from thy face retire, And angel minds gazed on thy brilliancy, Then sung their loud rejoicings unto Him, Wlio said, " Arise, 0 Light !" The primal one, Who saw thee moving through the peaceful heavens, When this roared earth a matchless Eden shone, Must have been fill'd with pleasuance, and given His feelings in the hymn of cherubim. The spirit now of man is low and dim; It keepeth not communion with the High; In lust and appetite its days roll on, A stranger to the liner sympathy That strengthens it to blend in unison With the good ways of Providence, and rise Above all common dust to God's sublimities. The lovely bow 's thy child, that, in the hour For musing, bends o'er the descending show'r, Well known to us, a gentle messenger, Sent after storm to calm our faithless fear. 'Pun the proud hiving, and the lowly dead, With equal warmth thy golden streams are shed. Adieu! thou goest—thousands lit by thee Never again thy pleasing light shall see; Yet thou wilt rise o'er mountain, wild, and river, And they shall rise—when thou has set for ever.
