EASTERN ROUMELIA.

The long threatened Roamslien insurrection has broken
out, and whether or not RusMa helps the insurgent
cause—which it officially say. it will put down by
force, hut it appears the Roumelians intend not to
enter the 'eaten part of the country until it it evacu-
ated by the Ruselans—there are Sclam enough In the
newly-liberated provinces to audit theta straggling
brethren with men, money, and arms, and it is scarcely
to be expected that Russians individually and "
officially" will suddenly desert the principles which
have guided their national policy hi flat wad.
against the Porta—Resat imiseindma.

The late Sir Walter Trevelyan was an ardent adherent
to teetotal principles. Hs went even further than Sir
Wilfred Lawson in his dogmatic abstinence; for not only
did he abjure wines and white himself, but he also tried
to force those who visited him at Wallington into the wa
of tie United Kingdom Alliance—not • drop of alcoholic
Squat wail allowed to be imported into the house, or.
hided, on to the estate. Guest., however, with tastes
superior to lemonade and milk generally smuggled bottles
ci something stronger in their trunks, and retired after
dinner to COOIRMIO the same in tin privacy of their bed-
rooms. Sir Walter took considerable pride in showing his
beizzi.cenniladre, swept and giredles arnished with bins innocent of
yloadsof
malt. Tobacco was also an especial aversion ofhi.; for he
always declared the" fragrant weed" to be injurious both
to body and brats. Albeit he was, despite his crotcheta, •
kind-hearted and popular man, of infinite learning, as
readers of the 4 theisanon and Nadu and Queens know
well, and as well preserved an old gentleman of eighty as
was to be found on Tyneside.

Suppose we take • glance (we have no time to do more)
at the present state of our religious system, first What
Is the public aspect of the thing called Christianity, in the
England of our day? A hundred different sects all at
variance with each other. An established church, rent in
every direction by incessant wrangling—disputes about
lorck gowns or white ; about having candle-sticks on tables,
or off LOA« ; about bowing to the east or bowing to the
west ; about which doctrine collects the meet respectable
supportiuod possesses the largest sum of money, the doctrine
in my church, or the doctrine in your church, or the
doctrine in the church over the way. Look up, if you like,
from this multitudinous and incessant squabbling among
the rank and file, to the high regions in which the right
reverend representatives of state religion sit apart re
they Christians? If they are, show me the Bishop who
dares assert his Christianity in the House of Lords, when
the Ministry of the day happens to me its advantage in
engaging in • war I Where is that Bishop, and how many
supporters does he count among his own order. Do you
blame me for using intemperate language—language
which I cannot justify Take • fair test, and try me by
that The result of the Christianity of The New Testa-
ment is to make men true, humane, gentle modest,
strictly scrupulous and strictly considerate in their dealings
with their neighbour,. Does the Christianity of the
churches and the sects produce thesis results amoog us?
Lock at the staple of the country, at the occupation
which employs the Largest numbor of Seglishnieu of all
degree,.—Look at our Commerce. What le its social
aspect. Judged by the morality which is in this book in
my hand? Let those organised system' of imposture,
masquerading under the disguise of banks and companies
answer the question—there is no need for me to answer
it, You knew what respectable names are associate;
year after year, with the shameless frdsilicatlon of ac-

that thesis cruel and wicked deceptions, and many more
like them, are regarded, on the highest authority, as
"forms of competition" and justifiable proceedings in
trade. Do you believe in the honourable accumulation of
wealth by men who hold such *Oakum and Perpetrate
such Impostures as these? I dos% I Do you find any
