Mw DEAR MR. GROVES,—In acknowledging, with grateful thanks, the kind and liberal aid you have so promptly afforded towards the relief of the suffering poor in this locality. (the amount received by your hands be ing now £46,) I am desirous of affording the friends who responded to your appeal, as well as yourself, the gratifi- cation of learning that your Christian liberality has brought joy and gladness to the hearts of several families, all of whom would otherwise be plunged in despair, with starvation staring them in the face, and no friendly hand stretched out to save them. When I first addressed you a private note, seeking your assistance, I hoped for little more than would enable me, in some of the most pressing cases, to satisfy the cravings of appetite for a brief season, trusting that God would, in His infinite mercy, afford some means of deliverance from the horrors which seem to threaten our suffering people. He has indeed graciously come to our aid already, in sending us, through your in strumentality, a sum much beyond our expectations ; and I am so much encouraged by past success, as to feel can. guine of yet further means of usefulness being afforded me from the same source, the merchants of Liverpool, who are ever foremost in every good work, and, while ready and willing to aid the starving Roman Catholics in the southern and western portions of our island, will surely be found equally prompt in administering out of their abundance to the necessities of the poor Protestants of loyal and peaceful Ulster, many of whom are to be found equally destitute, but with this wide distinction, that while the peasantry of the outh and west are stimulated by their deep distress to d ads of lawlessness and crime, the Protestant suffers on in quiet resignation, trusting to that God whose word he respects, and whose promises he knows and believes to be sure, that He wil,, in his own good time, deliver him out of all his distress. Such is the character, at least, of those on whose behalf I have ap pealed to you. They are an industrious, a moral, and a religious people. On the Sabbath Day our places of public worship are crowded, many coming four miles, and the great m rjority of my congregation two miles, t.) hear the Word of Gud; while, so great is their thirst for mil knowledge, that at any time a few hours' notice of a cot tage lecture, even in the most remote mountain district, would be sure to bring together about 100 persons, and these all the poorer class of farmers and cotters, for of such alone is my fi ck composed. I must pray you to pardon my thus digressing from the more inimethwe object of this letter, which is to acquaint you in what manner I am turning your remittances to account. I have for the last fortnight afforded the means of support to ten families, all of whom, I firmly believe, would have otherwise been in actual destitution. From the men and hors of these families I take a return in labour, having employed them in improvements on my glebe land ; but where they are unable to work, either from illness or the severity of the weather, I continue the support of their families just the same. I have purchased a quantity of meal, which is given to them at the com mencement of each week, in proportion to the number of their families—either gratuitously or at a reduced price ; and I now only wait a fall in the markets, and further aid from Christian friends, to purchase one or two tons of Indian meal for future support. One of the families con sists of nine persons, father. mother, and seven children, with the immediate prospect of an addition. They have a wretched bed h scarce' ,oin where all sleep in on, wit►. _.y a rag to cover them by night or by day. The number of the families vary, but all are in pretty nearly the same destitution. To carry on the support of these ten families would require. I estimate, about £3 per week, and though some may say what ate these among so many, yet I can not but think Ul4 the best principle to act on is to do what we can, and not to remain inactive because we are unable to do what we would I already see good results from my undertaking the support or these persons ; some of the better class of far ood wing my example, and are giving both and clothing to the poor around them. I confidently ex pect to see this continue, if only I am enabled to perse vere, and this I cannot do without further aid. The pub- nnerCare cers are pleased to admit. about one in every ten men seek ing work, and the meanest of their operations are out of this remote mountain district, being five miles distant. The landlords are making great and liberal exertions, 7 in large numbers. meat to their tenantr .„, . but they cannot reach all, and those whose cause I plead arc not a tenantry, but tenants' cotters, and we must not expect them to be supported by the tenantry who are in want themselves. No doubt my case is not a solitary one ; many similar exist. Let each person then, clergy man or layman, use I , is best exertions for his own hnme diate ne , gbbours, and Christian charity will . oe called forth, and the people not be left to starve, while our al ready impo*.erished country is to be taxed to support a staff of engineers, pay clerks, and needy placemen. It is a time to call forth Christian exertion in the cause of suf fering humanity. When the spring corms round, and the small farmers have consumed the last of their corn, I know riot what is to become of them. They will then be as bad as the cutters are at present. Our poor-house is already full to excess. None more can be admitted. Let me ask an interest in your prayers that the dancers which threaten may be averted, and that this chastise ment may yield to the people of this unhappy country the peaceable fruits of righteousness.... .. fam yours faithfully, P S.—l have added two Roman Catholics to my list. Mr. Groves, of Rumford-place, we believe, will be happy to receive and forward any contributions.

MORE DEATHS FROM BURNING.—OH Wednesday night, a girl, five and a half years old, named Margaret Ellen Wet, living in Crown-street, was burned to death, her night dress, which she was holding to the fire, having caught the flame. On Saturday, a little girl, named Ellen Finch, six years and a half old, living in Beau-street, was burnt to death in the absence of its parents. When found, she was literally burnt to a cinder. On Sunday, a little girl, named Maria Thompson, aged four years. living in Preston -street, died in the Infirmary, from injuries received from her clothes having caught fire the Friday previous, when her mother, who is a widow, was absent. ANECDOTE OF CANNING.—One peculiarity he pos sessed, which is but partially known—his thorough re membrance of a voice, and his ability of connecting it at any interval of time with the party to whom it belonged. More than one instance of this faculty is remembered at Hinckley. He was dining with a large party at Mr Cheshyre's, the medical gentleman before referred to, when a note was brought in and handed to the host, with an intimation that the bearer begged to see him for five minutes. Mr. Cheshyre left his party with reluctance, and was absent some time. Wi,en he returned, he pre faced his lengthy apologies by observing, he " had been detained by one of the roost remarkable men ofthe day ;" that the gentleman " was by accident passing through Hinckley, and could not pause on his route ;" that he " purpoeed placing one of his family under his (Mr. Cheshyre's care ;" and that "he (Mr. Chealtyre) was obliged to listen to ell his arrangements." " I will name hiM," said Canning, gaily ; " and then drink his health." " The latter point may be very easily managed ; but ihe former will, I believe, bailie your acuteness, Mr. Can ning." This was said with a degree of tartness ; for among other affectatiuns which the wealthy quack in dulged in was 'that of profound mystery with respect to the most trivial occurrences. " Your visitor, sir, was Wilberforce," said Canning, stoutly. " How cent' possibly discover that !" cried his annoyed host • - • , conversed tn i t h closed doors—he sent in no card ; as we parted he spoke but five words."

TH UPS AND DOWNS OF A SCOTCHNIAN.—From the Tenth Report of the Inspectors of Prisons we make the following extract:—" A poor fellow named Joseph F—, committed to Lancaster Castle fur begging, and about to be discharged in a few days, gave the following singular outline of his past life :—" 1 was born in Scotland and brought up a millright. At fifteen years old 1 entered the 32nd Foot, in which regiment I served eleven years. I was in Spain and Portugal; I was at Quartre Bras and-at Waterloo. At the former place the duke twice over placed himself in our square. I received two slight wounds at Quartre Bras, and two' more, also slight, at Waterloo. I went to Paris with my regiment, and got my discharge in 1816. A Polish general engaged me (through Sir John Rennie) as a millwright, to go to itoxoaco (Rosienna ?) in Lithuania. I made £l5O a-year wages for four years, and saved a hundred a-year. I then came to Warsaw, and learned to brew from a coup. tryman. I commenced the trade of a brewer in 1821, in conjunction with two other persons., talso had a mill wright concern, and a flour-mill. Some little time atter, Mr. M'Call, the missionary, came to Warsaw, and I en gaged myself to him as interpreter, being able to speak Rus-ian, German, and Polish. I went with Mr. M'Call to S . Petersburgh, Moscow, Astracan.' Tobolsk, Arch angel, Vi.-nna, 'Rome (where Mr. M'Call dined twice with the Pope), Naples, Genoa, Sicily;- then through Austrit into Hungary, Pestb, Brodof (Brod or Brpd ?), where there are a great many Jews, Cracow, and Wa rsaw. During the ten years we were in business the firm to which I belonged realized about .£30,096, my share bring £tl.ooo. Then came the bombardatent of War saw in 183 U. A child and two of my workmen were killgd, and all my property was destroyed. I was re duc-d to nothing. In 1833 the Emperor Nicholas came anti 1 sent a petition to him. He granted me an inter. view, and ertiered are £2OO (in ducats). I afterwards engaged tmsell as a manager to a brewery ; but the prin. cipros failed: I then engaged with another e‘tablish meat, and made a mere living of it, everything having been ruined by the revolution. 1 left Warsaw in 1842, and came to London, where I spent a short time with Mr. M'Call. Lord Dudley Stuart was kind to me, and gave me £lO to carry me to the north. I was on my way from Scotland to seek some friends in Liverpool, when my money being ail gone I was taken up for bug- Otg.' This singular story was given in answer to nu. tnerous questions. - F. does not seem aware that his life has been more eventfpl than that of other.men."

PROTESTANT AND REFORMATION SOCIETY The annual meeting of the members of this association was held on the evening of Friday last, in the Concert Hall, Lord Nelson-street. The patron of tie society, the Rev. Hugh M'Neile, presided, near whom there was a considerable attendance of clergy. Among those present were, the Rev. J. B. Owen, of Bilston, the Rev. W. Pollock, the Rev. F. Parry, the Rev. W. Falloon, the Rev. G. Groom, the Rev. W. Maynard, the Rev. W. Hughes, the Rev. D. Anderson, the Rev. T. M. Gosling, the Rev. W. Gibbons, the Rev. W. Warre; Mr. Webster, Mr. Parker, Mr. Ewbank, and others. The proceedings opened by the offering of prayer from the Rev. W. MAYNARD. The CHAIRMAN, after some introductory remarks, re minded the meeting that Protestantism might be received under three aspects, and with regard to three great sub jects—politics, religion, and education. Politically con sidered, Protestantism might be thus expressed: " Liberty for good, with encouragement to do it ; re straint from evil, with effectual guards against the com mission of it." We held that the civil ruler was the minister of God, not bearing the sword in vain, but commissioned to use it for the punishment of evil doers, and for the praise of them that do well. We therefore protested against all conspiracy to do evil; we protested against ell injuries inflicted or designed by others because of their differing in opinion with us. We protested against all hypocrisy, against all pretences to what we did not feel, against all dispensations to profess what we do not believe. We protested against all combinations to injure men because of their religious opinions, whatever those opinions might be. Thus we were found in direct antagonism to a system which was a great conspiracy for the injury, in person, and property, and life, of all who do not agree with it in what was called religious opinion. It was the persecuting character of the Romish system that forced us into opposition to it. Viewed in this respect, our Protestantism was a compelled antagonism. We wished to hurt no man on account of his creed. If all felt the same wish, there would be no desire for political restrictions; but if we found a set of men who avowed such on account of their creed, then we certainly wished to save ourselves. Ours was a field well stocked with lambs not able to run so fast as wolves; and if it must be that there should be wolves in the field, we should like to have them tethered, so that the lambs could get out of their way. We did not wish, on that account, to hurt th , ,, wolves, but only to keep them from hurting the lambs. (Hear.) This was the precise position of Protestantism considered politically ; and he for one would not wish to carry it one whit further. He wished to hurt no one; but be wished at the same time that no one should hurt him. We, Protestants. would hurt no man for his creed; but we detested and abjured that abominable doctrine, that a man was to be excommunicated because he was a heretic—for Rome was pledged, wherever and whenever she could, to exterminate heretics. We were, therefore, thrown into antagonism with Rome; but Rome denied everything; and this was what made it so difficult to deal with her professors; for they would swear to and deny the very same thing. Their own sworn documents had been denied I The bishops of the Church of Rome in England bad signed a document, addressed to the nation, protesting they never held opinions which .they must have sworn to before they were made bishops Yet in declaring these things it was said he was failing against "-- t Hr ten" - t• 4 h, and if .1-- ,atholics e was only -.ling the trut.., ine were railing, whose fault was it? (hear, hear.) It was high time Englishmen should be made aware ( f the dan ger they were at this moment undergoing, not for their religion only, but for personal liberty. The Tlonei.h system would never be content with equality. Equality was its claim until it reached equality ; then, ambition became its object, and supremacy its aim. The supremacy of the world was the sworn aim of that system ; and our with Romanism as if it were nothing but a false theology : they forgot that it was a practical conspiracy. Every man engaged in conspiracy ought, if detec , ed, to be re strained, that the conspiracy might not be injurious to his fellow-men. It was on this ground that restraints were r en ,fired on Romanism, for the safety of English- men ; and if restraints were not imposed, the time was not for distant when there would be no safety for Eng lishmen. Ttieie must be exclusion of one sort or other. Exclusion, he knew was an ugly word; but there must be either exclusion, from political power, of all not protestants, or exclusion from earthly existence of all not Romanists. (Hear.) Religiously considered, our Pro testantism was expressed by the Christian Church as reformed and established in England. We &sired no better expression for our Protestantism than that given by our own church. And here, for a little enlargement, he gladly availed himself of a newspaper [the Leamington Spa Courier, of Nov. 28, 1846,] which bad fallen into his hands, where a writer upon this subject declared what the doctrines of our Protestant Church are, by contrast — that was, by telling what they are not. In telling what they are not, he told what the doctrines of the Romanist church are, in a few particulars. " First, our church does not teach that modesty, if brought to confession, is a crime that renders a woman unworthy of absolution." (hear.) Yet this doctrine was taught in one of the class books of the col'ege of Maynooth, which last year had been endowed by the:British Parliament ! This doctrine was taught at the 164th page of Dr. De La Hogue's Traciatus de Penitentia. (Hear.) " Second, our church does not teach that such pleas as the following are 'a scriptural ground for absolution : " May the passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, the merits of the blessed Virgin Mary, and of all the saints, what soever good you may have done, or evil you may have suffered, be unto you for remission of sins, increase of grace, and reward of eternal life, Amen." Our church taught that Christ was " the end of the law for right eousness; " that " there is nri , forgiveness of sin but by the blood of Christ." (Hear.) Again : the Church of England did not absolve the dead. (Hear.) Whoever tried to absolve the dead ? Listen.to this : "If the body is not buried of one who has died without absolution, it is to he lashed with stripes and then absolved, and after being absolved is to be buried in holy ground." This was to be found in the Rituale Romanum of Paul V , printed at Lyons in 1517 ; so that their work was not finished with the living. (Hear.) 'Was it not a hard case, the R ,manisra having themselves made the truth concern ing them so abominable, that when Protestants told that truth it should bs called railing against their neighbours? . • England were so excessively kind, - that they would not even tell the truth when it was unkind. So the rogue escaped because it was unkind to say he was a rogue; and so these corrupters of divine truth escaped, because it was held uncivil and uncharitable to call them corrupters. (Hear.) In contrasting our Protestantism with the se corruptions, his object was not to excite any unkind feelings towards the poor people who were involved itt the corruptions, nor towards those priests who introduced them ages ago ; but to instruct the meeting so that they might know upon what ground they stood, and that they might have a guard against being betrayed into the corruptions themselves. There Nere not a tew emissaries of these corruptions going about, endeavouring to en tangle the protestant poor ; and they boasted of the converts they were making. Free course had been given them to try their hand in England; no longer under any restraint, they were trying what they could do. Was it a crime in the clergy of the English church to warn the pe ple of England of what was going on ? Was that meeting prepared to embrace the opinions he had de scribed ? (Cries of " No.") Was it fitting that the emissaries of the Church of Rome should have free course over the whole kingdom, tampering on every side with every one they chose—that some of dew should go into garrets, some into cellars, some into drawing-rooms, and " liberal " press thought it quite right they should go everywhere making converts: and the momenta Protestant clergyman said a word about it, the Protestan►s were "the worst men in the world," they were" the most abominable, bigoted, narrow-minded, persecuting wretches that ever were bcrn." (Hear.) H e was exceedingly sorry so many of his reverend triends seemed to be so tbin•skii the "liberal" press. (Cheers.) For his part the only is he very regret ne nan, wnen ne s often did, ( for som. kind friend generally sent him a strongest feeling be had on such occasions, was com passion for the writer who had so exposed himself. (Cheers.) Another item of our Protestantism was set down in the fourth place, viz., "the Church of England does no. teach that any sin requires the fire of purga ory to cleanse ir." The Church of Italy did so teach (hear), and there was a gross case mentioned in the same paper arising out of it. The San new-paper contained the r. port of a lswsuit in a book entitled " Lite and Death." [Sun of Fehrpary 3rd, 1832.] The lawsuit related to a curious Spanish con.est "Arising out of the circumstance of a rich man having left money to the Church, sufficient (at the usual rate) to purchase twelve thousand masses for his soul. The Church gladly ac cepted the whole bequest, but demurred as to the labour re quired. In this emergency, those on whom the services actu ally paid for more immediately fell, interceded with the Pope for curtailment, and he, under his own hand, certified and de clared that twelve masses would have the same effect as twelve thousand. So far,*therefore, as the Romish Priests' case was concerned, enough had been done, if we are to believe the then Pope: for the counsel of these priests urged, that the end or purpose being obtained, evidence of which he held in his hand (the Pope's infallible certificate) ? it came to the same thing— the value, in short, was given in return for the money—the soul having actually got free for twelve masses 11l The heirs, however, who had paid the money for the 12,000 masses. claimed restitution, on the ground of the stipulated work not being performed. This lawsuit surely explains the present de plorable condition of unfortunate Spain. No marvel that she should now be amongst nations that are fallen, and enrolled with kingdoms whose glory is departed. Icabod may be writ ten on her Church, and infidelity is rank in her land 7 -may the truths of the Catholic church yet flourish there—for these blessed truths teach no Romish- uoctrines ; but, contrarywise, that it is by His stripes we are healed, who being the brightness of hi s Father's alar.V,and express' imageof his person, and up • holding all things by the word . of has power when he had BY HIMSELF eititoeo OUR SINS, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high." (Cheers ) H,re then was our protest. Hold fast to it I (Grew cheers.) Nothing availed in heaven but the work of.,Him who came down from heaven—the Son of Man. *ho is in heaven. (Hear.) Vain tbe'toits, vain the sinpro fessions, the labours , the p enan c es, the masses, of poor fallen the guilt Llul U'n". They touched nor the high place wl , ;ch sin had infected and left a stain (hear) ;_•they touched not She tit rnitig• poi, t of the government of God --the law of God ; they touched not the majesty of that God which requires "the soul which sinned), it shall sure - It' (lie," which proclaimed " the wages of sn is death " N.. ! lie whip el , . old touch 'hat high point must, in his nature, be as high as Git - d in the majesty .of .his moral go verntrent. He wt o could rescue us from sin must, in his nature, he one with us, touched with a feeling of our.' infil mine, oppress• d under the penalty that we deserved, hiuiselt whilst he obeyed the law we had vio-'1 fated. Thi. was the II gh, the Mighty One and the Just. the flivine t),., arid t l.e ilutnan, the Son of God and the S. n ..f Man, Jesu4 Chi int t he Lord. (Cheers.) This Wag our protect; this was OPT linty Protestantism; thi9 was our religion. (Cheers,) Connected with this corruption, he would read a curious paper which was also given in the same book, "Life and Death." It was af fixed some years since to the chief churches in Madrid. It had reference to the Monte di Pietad, and it declared that the " Sacred and royal Monte di Pietad of Madrid, has relieved from Purgatory since its establishment, in 1721, till November, 1826 1,030,396 souls, at an expense of .t 7,720,437 11,402 ditto, from Nov. 1, 1826, to Nov. 1, 1827, 14,276 1,041,797 £1,734,703 (hear, hear). Here was a marvellous account for the de ceiving of the poor people. 'Wretched, wretched people, to be deceived by such pretences as these! Should it ever be that the people who walked the fair streets of England would be ground down by such absurd superstitions as these ? (l o, no, and cheers.) Yet the Itomanists were creeping on ; and he called on all Protestants to take care of the education of their children. (Cheers.) There was another feature of our Protestantism he wished to speak about. We were content with the Holy Scriptures. We wished neither to take away from nor add to them. Our glorious Protest declared before the whole world—" Holy Scripture contains all things necessary to be believed for salvation, so that nothing is to be required of any man as an article of faith unto salvation but what may be found therein, or proved thereby." (Cheers.) But had any professing Christian body been found to say other wise, and to deal otherwise by the Scriptures? Yes: and he could tell the meeting of a great many who said, and of some who had sworn, that they received the tra ditions of the Fathers with equal piety and reverence as they received the Scriptures. (Hear, hear.) These same traditions were very hard to be found, for the writ ings of the Fathers were in as many books as would reach, close-packed, to the other end of the room. (Hear.) He could tell ot men who had sworn they would never take or use the Scriptures except according to tile unanimous con sent of the Fathers, although that unanimous consent could not be found. But these men did more. The meeting had heard of the index Expurgotorius—tbat was a list of books kept at Rom- which were to be forbidden to the taithlul. They would be rather surprised when he read the following : " ' The Bible of Robert Stephens, with about two hundred places in the margin, and one or two in the text, was com manded to be purged by the Inquisition of Spain and Rome. I will show you a taste thereof, that you may know whereof the purgation is made, and what ingredients are in it.' Then he gives numerous instances of inquisitorial purgings, and from - amongst them I only select a few, to explain the why and wherefore these men, with the authority of the Pope, expurgated this edition of the Bible. They blotted out the text, " ABRA HAM WAS JUSTIFIED BY FAITH." And again, "The Lord our Righteousness." Nay more, that very text which our blessed Lord himself made use of to beat down Satan, in his temptation in the wilderness, this they ordered to be erased,— mark the passage, ' Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.'" Once more. The bishop of Poictiers, one of the famous writers of the Church of Rome, called the Bible " an inanimate and dull thing." Ekius called it " a black gos pel and theoloey of ink." Sylvester Prierisa, in contro versy with his opponent, declared " That indulgences have not been made known unto us by the authority of .kcripture, but by the authority of the Roman Church, and of the Roman Pontiff, which is greater." He urged the people therefore to read for themselves, and maintain the liberty of private judgment. He Rad men tioned a third item—education. Our protestantism, in reference to education, was against one particular thing ; it was against Indifferentism. (Hear.) It was in favour of a definite creed. (Hear.) Children should be taught a definite creed. Do not let their young minds be left fallow aithout some distinct teaching. (Hear.) We were protesters against indifferentism in education; therefore protesters against what had been called " godless education." We were protesters against the extravagant and atrocious sc leme. the system of national education without religion. He was for "no surrender" on this point ; and if the Chancellor of the Exchequer could levy an education tax, and direct the collector to put down to what sort of education the tax-payer would wish it to be applied—Church of England, Romanism, or Dissent —he knew on which side would be a preponderating mojority ; and it would be shown that the Romanists and Dissenters were guilty of what they charg d uprn Pro testants, namely, that they want our money to educate their children. (Tremendous applause ) The reverend chairman concluded by saying the next business will be to • V sl read the report. Mr. HARDY read the report, and also the treasurer's FICCOUTIIS The Rev. W. POLLOCK in an elcvent speech moved the adoption of the report, dwelling earnestly upon the necessity lor a bold perseverance in the pi inciples of the Reformation, as the best means of preserving the people from popery. The Rev. F. PARRY seconded the resolution, and it was carried unanimously. - aa The Rev. J. h. OWEN, of Bilston, moved the next resolution, which was for the appointment of the usual officers of the association. The rev. gentleman delivered a most effective address, marked by a humourous felicity of illustration, admirably adapted for popular controversy. What, he asked, were the hest weapons with which to li controvert popery ? The constant introduction of the Scriptures, and the spirit of prayer. The Bible, as "the bread of life," was the true commisariat of controversy ; and without prayer there would be neither success nor progress. Next to these, the best weapons to assail the strong-holds of povery, were thirty-six, at least, ont of the " Forty stripes save one," by which the world distin• guished the doct,inal standard of the Church of England. It he wanted to s-e popery,• and every other form of Anti-Christ, Ceyeloped, contradicted, exposed, where did he go? To the thirty-nine articles. If he wanted to kit w w h a t he must believe, and what he must not believe, for his catholic symbol, as well as his Index Expurgatorius, be found it in the thirty-nine articles. If he wanted to see a church. reformed, without being revolutionized, divested of tho accumulated errors of ages, without losing a fragment of the truth, and acknowledging, in all its parts, the great Head of the church, he went to •the thirty nine artier s. If he wanted to bring palpably be fore the eyes, the abstract precious truths for which the noble army of martyrs resisted unto blood, striving against sin, and in defence of which truths, if the argu ment of the faggot was to be lighted again, whenever the national darkness became so deep, others would be found to take their place by Cranmer, Latimer, and Ridley, those truths would be found embraced in the thirty-nine articles. (Cheers.) Just then, as be could collect from the lessons of the evangelists, the prophets, and the apostles, what were the peculiar heresies of the Sad ducees, the Pharisees, and the Gnostics, so, the bane and antidote being together, he could obtain all the informa tion he required of the heresies of popery, from the thirty nine articles. (Cheers.) He was not going to preach a sermon in thirty-six divisions. (A laugh.) His object in drawing attention to these thirty six articles was, to to follow out the admirable remerks of the chairman, and give brief instruction what those articles contained. The second 'trick. was a protest against the Romish heresy, that Christ atoned only for original sin, leaving actual sin for the -meritorious expiation of indi viduals. The third article was, a declaration of our Lord's descent into Hell in order to com plete all the conditions of a human being ; and it contained an -implied protest against the doctrine that Christ went to preach to the spirits that are in prison —the first link in the doctrine of purgatory: The sixth article .( which was the next on this subj-ci) de clared the scriptures to be the sole rule of faith, against the consent of the fathers. The seventh article declared the unity of Christ's mediatorship against the multiplied rnediatorships of the Church of Rome; and declared it to be the uniform doctrine of the Old and New Testa .ishth sirt named that thrPa Csithnlin sourioua and modern symbols of the papacy. The ninth article condemned the Pelagian view of ortginial sin, and the Rornish view, that man, of his own mind, was not inclined to evil. The tenth article was a protest against the ultimate Pelagianism of Rome, that men, of their own free will, can do good works acceptable to God. The eleventh. twelfth. thirteenth, and fourteenth articles w- re protests against the figments of Rome as to works ttnd deservit.gs, and proclaimed that mu was justifiA by faith without the deeds of the law. In their •erinut phases these four articles presented that excellent doctrine of the Church of England, without which'we had Christi anity stripped of its blessings : a sacrifiee without an atone. merit, a grapel without the c, oss, a creed without a faith, a church preaching a fitlicidal altar, a man-like Isaac, bur where was the Lamb? (Che. rs.) The fifteenthirtie/epuestred the same analogy by declaring the exclusive sinlessness of the Redeemer. The sixteenth article implied• our protect against the unauthorized dktinction between venal and mortal sin. The seventeenth rescued us from the damnab'e and practical perversion of that glorious my-tery, aivine election, wherein Rome made her notions of election, like those of salvation, dependent upon the merit of the individual. The eighteenth article closed a loophole against any other name being- given under heaven whereby man can be saved, except that.of Christ. The nineteenth at tide defined the Script Oralronstitntion of the Church of Christ, and declared Rome's absolute apostacy from that high and holy standard. The twen tieth article admitted the church's authority in rites and ceremonies, arid as a judge in controversy; and itiiinited doginHtical teach'ng. The twenty-first article iniolved, in the first portion, the universal acceptance or receiving of the three first councils, by the yet) , terms of its detini-' tion; but it went on to deny consiliar infallibility, and the right of convocation without 'the will 'of' Christian princes: The twenty-second article—Oh, what a clutter of Romish errors were there implied to hang together He wished they were 'hung. 'lt denied the Romish doctrine concerning purgatory, paidont, WorshiPping and adoration—as well of images as ,of relics—and also the intiocation•of nitrite: 'The twenty-third Yindi caud the clerical orders: apart from the 'Romisli 'hier archy. ' The tvienty-fou'rth article' contended for ' the ever-blessed right of Christian worship in the mother tongue, in the tongue " understanded of the, people." This article was our protest against Latin worship. The Latin was a dead language; it therefore - suited very well the put poses of a dead church. But we were more lively; and would worship in the living mother tongue. 'What a deep tar-sighted policy was that of the papacy to keep up the old language of the empire, the rePrestutative of dominion and it•fluence as the medium of universal devotion 1 It was like the policy that sustained the throne of the Caesars, when they stamped the cerient coin of their subject territories with their own " imige - ace superscription." It accustomed the people throughont the world to deat.nd upon Rome. Latin devotions, 'like the old imperial coin, became gradually and insensibly the representative and' stand , rd of value and beige the people accepted it. The Reformation, r, gave a conpg , d'ilire to the practice as 'concerned the people of England. The 25th article rejected the'tve sscramentS of the Pope. The 26th,, by implication, involved the condom nation of that unholy doctrine of priestly ii4tert!iiiti.- The 27th asserted the spiritual character of holy baptism. The 28th esehewrd the opus operation cf popery. It' protested against the singular tallary of trOsubstantiation ; against what Mould very calla '• the incarnation parodied in paste." The 29th article contained the Scriptural argu ment against masses. It declared that bad men cannot receive Christ in the Lord's Supper. If bad men could not receive him surely the dead could not. Therefore this article was an important confutation of the doctrine of masses for the dead. The thirtieth article inveighed against the denial of the cup to the laity. The thirty first article, in bold language, presented us with a wel come and refreshing contrast to the disloyalty and denial of those who declared that in the sacrifices of masses, the priest offers Christ for the quick and the dead, for It pronounced them " blasphemous fables" and " dangerous deceits." We wanted some of this hone t protestation. (Cheers) The thirty-second article denounced that tin scriptural fallacy and historical falsehood, the celibacy of the clergy. The thirty.third stripped the Romish church of its notorious abuses through the medium of penances, dispensations, plenary indulgences, and the like. The thirty-fourth turned the waters of the river of lite through the Augean stable of tradition that turned the world aghast at the mighty mass of evil and corruption which it involved. The thirty-fifth presented us with the honest and invaluable book of Homilies, wherein instead of terming the Church of Rome, as certain persons now did, "our erring sister," she w3s denounced as that "evil, old, withered, harlot." There was no mistaking what this. meant. The thirty-sixth article rescued our ordinations from the superstitions by which prelates were consecrated in papal times. The thirty-seventh repudiated the Pope's supremacy, temporally and spi ritually. The thirty-eighth condemned the error of the riches and goods of christians being common, as touching the right, title, and possession of the same. The thirty ninth and last, protested against the morality of priestly perjury, whenever his judicial oath e.rne into collision with the seal of confession. (Hear ) There articles were the Protestantism of the Church of England; and if he had made out a case, as he trusted he had, in favour of this view, he trusted we should all be led to value more hi g hl y the hurch of which we had the privil-ge to be members. (Loud cheers.) The rev. gentleman closed wi.h a stir ring appeal to the auditory to read the Bible for them selves, and to exercise the right of private judgment -1i right which was denied to the people by the apostacy of Rome.

In the play of " Hamlet," your conception of the part of the hero was striking and ori- kinal, and your delineations of the various passions of sorrow, anger, melancholy, and pity, were regarded as of the most masterly character; Ltthe same time the spirit and purity of your elocution gave general and great delight. The unanimous thanks of the audience, which t had the pleasure of conveying, proved that the attention with which they had listened for two hours, nad been well rewarded. Your reading of "Macbeth" gave me equal pleasure with " Hamlet "; and, having had other opportunities of hearing your Shakespeare Readings in private cram 1 am bound to add my suffrage to • the many you have alre ady received in England and France. By your pictures of the tender passionsin " Romeo and Jo liet' my friends were delighted—and equally by the broad humour with which you brought out the very numerous parts in the " Merry Wives of Windsor."
