'SINGULAR CURE FOR -BIBULOUS PROPENSITIES. • (From Sharpe's Lond , :n Magotioe.) Once upon a time there dwelt in one of th- little streets which run do • n to the bottom of the :`lane. a c bia r named Hans Fuchs, or as we should say, Jack. N x. He wait a good-htarted merry little fellow, a favourite with every one, and so good a workman that he must have thriven had it not hetn for one unfortunate fining which threatened to be his ruin. Hans was a great deal tuo rand of good beer, and many a customer he lost and ninny a pa'r of boots he sooi!ed in const (pence. in vain 'lid his mother scold and his wife entreat, Hans could not get over this weakness.

How ever he staggered alone, with some difficulty keepioc out of the river, • till came to the bridge. Tne moon was sinning brightly, and the old statue 'it the Emperor stood out in strong relief against the dark houses ots the o her side. Somehow the idea struck Flails that he would go and have a look at the figure b. f re finally returning ! wr i t e. Accordingly he walked over to the centre of the bf Lige, and leaning ppinst the vtrapet, sto- d gazi , g int, oily at , ue.

A more false not i on c ool. ' n t he in.t Pe.l iLtn the casßowele the cases of boe few members of the royal family, it is no doubt true that their support or patronage is asked without reverence to any personal fit ness or association with the particular obj-cts which are sought to be obtained. But this is a part of the cfficial homage paid to royalty, and it is because the people are known to be loyal, and to set a hige value on the support of the throne or its immediate coettexions, that those il lustrio is personages are so much sought after. But we altogether deny that when the active support of particular members of the peerage or the aristocracy is sought for, :t is in the eoirit of tuft-hunting ; that when members of the mercantile or the general middle classes have some benevolent or national object in view, and reek the aid of those who occupy the firer rank in society, it is merely because they are peers. We deny that the Lord Ash!eye or ler rd Robert terosvenots. the Lord Keeyons or the Broughams and the Merpethe. are asiocia•ed in such undertakings for any other reason than that they are deemed the most fit, by their talents and information, and moral and intellectual worth, for their position. We are almost ashamed to find ourselves engaged in enf et. cing a position which must appear so natural and true, but that .he contrary is so often said and written, and has insensibly produced an effect on the unreasoning Portion of the public. A pride of class h. s been by this mews generated among the middle and lower orders of the state, and a conceit that they are by far more fist d for the tail( of government than these n whose culture such pains have been bestowed, who have been trained to statesmanship and legislation, and on wham the noblest moral and religious cr nsiderations act, inducing them to abandon that retirement and indolent eejeyment of life which toe law guarantees them as the holdets of iede pendent property, and whit h the nobles of ether countries too of en gieedity seize up-n. in total obliviousness of their duties to their fellow countrymen. The aristocracy of these three kingdoms are, we maintain, with one or two brilliant exceptions of men who have sprung from the people. the real leaders of public opinion in this country. They are so, not on account of their rank bet of their talents. They are not the eft': to -and inactite class, useless and not even (elemental, which they are represented to be, but are deep teitikers, earnest. reit ious-minded men; their prieciples deeply engrafted in their minds; and their general knowledge irneroved by a practical expetience of mankind in general. not often enjoyed by the classes below them, who have I ss leisure, end look at life from a more confin d point of view; and .vith faculties and powers as highly cultiva•ed and as eadily brought to I:;war pract.calty on medic Hffatrs as hose of the most active and ehergetic of the bourgsoix Wi h the latter. such qualiti •attons are almost the serptiou to the ride; with the former, they are nearly universal.—Fraser'R thwazine.

POPERY AS A POLITICAL AND AS A RF.LIGIOUS Sys- TEM —'l'he Romish system. a+ a req.:ions inatttu'e, is re pidly losing its hold on the minds of the peopl . This appears in a hundred unmistakeable instances. The better arid purer faith—the faith more in accordance with scrip tural truths—is daily evidencing its power to engage the minds and wits the hearts of those who are led to 'Asti's guish between its rituals and a reasonable service. SuJii is the indiffer -nee with wh ch the mssre wealthy of the Rota in Catholic community regard their Church, that they have never het been led soar to tax themselves as to make a suitable provision for the maintenance and the education of their clergy. Left to itself, the system mos' fall to the ground, from sheer - on the part of its nominwl supporters ; who would very soot) console themselves fir its loss, by commingling wiih the Protest ant community in any of the various de ttttt tviontississ sunder which it exists, or becoppipg incorporated with the Este.- lished Church. But if almost defunct as a rnligion, what is it as a political system ? Is it not the great bond ut union by which the masses are held together, and ani: mated by the spirit and directed according us the purposes of those whose end and aim is a repeal of the legislitive union? The coming of Christ was never regarded by the Jews in our Lord's rime with more joy as the advent of their deliverance from the Romans, than the enlargement of the borders of the Iturni•h Church in Ireland, by the more ardent repealers, as the ins'iumet.t which is best capable of working the deliverance of their country troth the tyranny of the Saxon rule. And what has been Sir Robert Peel's policy,—lei' favourite nostrum for the inn qudization of Ireland ? To augment this power, in the hope of changing its nature, and taking it into an alliance with the British governosen., by which it noglit be ten dered, not a stimulus to, but a curb upon, the rebellious tendencies of the people. We believearcore onfouoded expectation never was entertained. vi e believe that every addition made to this power (more especially when it pro• seeds from conce•usions to virulence), will but i..crease the rorboletsre which it was intended to allay, and augment our dangers. We believe twat the Romish priesthood are irrevocably pledged to courses from which, by the miser able truckling policy which would play t a ni ( er t rs ie rs ir , personal or pro'essional, against their pa and principles, they never ran he diverted. Talk of the en downient of M-syrinoth ! "'the bait is carefully nibbi r d o ff, but the hook is rejected. They will take good care that " the boy " shall be " father of the mars ; " and whatever that ins itute wit, in spirit and in principle. m the days of its poverty, such and no other it will continue when in creased wealth enables it to enlarge its numbers, arid when the luxury and effluence oh its profess rs offer stronger inducemen.s to the aspiring sons of our peasant population to be admitted yr; hin eta walls. No One is absurd enough to suppose, that a different class of indi viduals will become candidates for she effi .e of Romish priests. because of the higher standard of tiviog to which that body, its their educational progress, may now become accustomed. Were that the case, the endowment would be dispensed with, and the Romish Church would he sup , plied with clergy as the Established Church is supplied, by individuals educated at their own expense, and for whole preparation for holy orders a large outlay is made. either by themselves or their parents It remains, t here. fore, that no policy of our rulers can exercise any b e ns fi cial influence upon the chatacter and the spiri t of toe Church of Rome in Ireland. Upon that c haracter and spirit we have freely off-red our opinion; britwe must add, that we think it positively respec able in cs Inparison with the despicable and unprincipled course of Policy wl:Pch was adopted towards it by our late rulers; a volley * which tbose it was intended to cajole, or c mated at its real value ; and which, so tar from silencing the clamours it was expected to allay, if it only be cons'.. tently carried out, must lead to the separation of Great Britain and Ireland.—Dublin University Magazine. .. THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND THE GREAT BARRIER AGAINST Roeut.—Of all the ddrerent Pio:es!ant inhea, there is none but our Church. and the Churches in com munion with her, that can make a permanent and power ful resistance against. Popery, because she alone, a ii h her sister Churches, takes her stand upon the ep iginal consti tution and the ancient faith of the Church Catholic; she alone opposes to the corruptions and usuroations of Po pery, a complete system of pure, primitive, apostolic Christianity. This the Rotnish Church knows right well; and, therefore, it is, that she concentrates her efforts more and more upon this favonrite oi.ject of her ambitious hopes—the overthrow of the Church, and the subjugation of the State of England. The Prot. want cgmtnunions of the continent gi% e her little uneasiness. they are so divided among themselves ; and each one within itself so void of fixed principles, of either doctrine or discipline, that they can never present any compact front of opposition to the aggressions of the Papacy. They w.nld fall an easy prey to the machinations of the Church of Rome, if once that cfureh could succeed in sweeping away from the face of Christendom our church, whose very existence, founded as it is on the primitive and apostolic constitution of the Church of Christ, is a standing testimony against the Papal usurpation ; even as her learning, her pure worship, and her orthodox faith, is a standing witness against the ignorance, the abominable superstitions, and soul-destroy ins errors of the Church of Rome.—Dr. Biber'a Speech at the National Club. THE CITY OF 1.

Cheshire then hecame a county palatine, with eon is peculiar to itself ; so that any oft nee against " the sword of Chester" was visited with as severe perathies as a similar offence against he crown at Westminster. Hugh resided in the castle at Chester, where he held his courts and parliaments, in which sat the superiors of the religious houses of the rountey, together with his eight great sub-infeudatories. The succeeding earls maintained the same state down to the reign of Henry 111., when the eathlom of Chester was se z-d and united to the crown ; the large tenures created by the Compteror having, for the most part, re verted to the• crown by forfeiture or mart itige. The an el tit earls of Chester had the power of granting Privilege or sanctuary to criminals, a power which is generally supposed to have been exercised by the church alone. (Jur space will not allow t do n ore than select a few itistortctl events, of which Chester h , is been the scene.

Tne nogess, Mrs. Erg beth Mottershed, rivet heard this by accident, and having a broth. r in Ireland, who was a Prates ant, she became alarmed for h's safety, and took the opportunity, while the doctor was attending the mayor down stairs, to open the leathern box. take out the commis-ion. and leave in its p!ace a pack of eau's with the knave of clubs placed the upte rawst.
