that • humid% of that association bad ems formed in

to preserve the Protestant :tharaeter of our Chinch by

a very oompset sad organised body, on white soorant

there bad been no organisation to oppose and resist them.

for if controversy was foxed upon them they mut be

how it was sail the followers of the fain) prophet

pet abomination, and each he feared, a pet delicately, and
so in the midst of much indignant protesting, the evil
flourished. One earnest protester against all kinds of

In the church: another, who was a perfect Puritan on
that point, considered music as • gift of God to be
used in his service, and therefore could not see what
objection could reasonably be made to Chun& services:
another, while mediating as popish W. X. Serum's
priestly notions, had • secret satiefutioe in thieking that
he bisswif belonged to the Apostolic church, Ina
wholmoine contempt for all Nonconformists as an
Inferior orier of Christiana. It is no wonder, therefore,
that there is so little real and hearty opposition to the
threatening attack of superstition and sacerdotal
tyranny. It was not thee that our forefathers over-
came the same evil principle. They knew what they
were contending for, and acted upon certain fixed
principle., to which all fancies, and natural tastes, and
prejudices were made to give way: and so they were
innietible. It was only by the same path that the
Protestants of England could achieve • eisibir victory.
His object was to lay down one of thou broad principles
of truth upon which all rysteme of religious worship
Pout be built in order to be pure and scriptural—it out
at the very root of all ritualism, and would perhaps
offend the prejudices and feelings of some anthritualista,
but if it was true and if the history of the church bore
ttstimemy to its truth, we could not afford, in the
present day, •hen truth itself was on its trial, to
sacrifice one jot or tittle of it, to please any one. If any
of Is conclusions appeared too sweeping, be asked
them to weigh well his premise., and Dundee candidly
and carefully whether any other could be fairly mired
at. His proposition was, that the art of Ban cannot
help the cause of true spiritual religion—that wherever
It is eilisted, except in a very nhordioate position, it la,
and ever has been, a great hindrance to it—and that the
most spiritual worship haa ever been the most simple.
'The reason of this was that the art of man whether in
music, or painting, or architecture, only aPpealle to the
senses, which, by the fall of our first parents, are so
polhatedluld degraded, that they are no longer helpers
but hinderers of the Spirit's work in ihO soul, and the
soul's intercourse with God: they are called the
" windows of the soul" in the modern style of slipshod
theology, but they are windows wham transparent
medium has been so distorted by prejudice and dis-
coloured by the pollution of sin, that every figure con-
veyed thereby to the mind is incorrect, and only
lawmen the darknew and confusion that is already
there. He se anted that the history of the Chereh
eatabliabed • pennefacit case in support of his position.
It would, he was sure, be granted that the Church was
never so pure in doctrine, so rich in spiritual blessings,

Tertuilian to the period Immediately preeedhu the
Reformation, when Alexander Vi, was Pope. Turning
from this sad MMus he pointed to the Waldenses, who
had take* refuge in the Alpine (satsuma, as setting
forth Christianity. He then referred to the gorgeous

DlO9 he described the horrors of the 13 Inquisi-
tion, and these existed side by side with the most
elaborate 'esthetic aids to religion. So far from being
handmaids to sound teaching, ;esthetics had ever been
associated with • most degraded superstition and a weed
marvellous for it, absurdity. In illustration he quoted
a prayer of St. Appellee* and an invocation to St.
Blasius, which is said to be • run remedy for bones
that stick in the throat. Next be referred to the
attempted restoration of sesthetios in religion on the
ineitoration of Charles 11., the preparatory step to
which was the expelling of some hundreds of the most
exemplary, pious, and MU ministers by the Act of
Dnilerrnity. From these facts it must, at least, be
allowed that esthetics in religion are compatible with
the lowest degradation of morals, most puerile Blueish-
Cm, cad meet appalling cruelty. He then showed that it was by the introdootion of 'esthetics. that Bishop
Itelaelai perverted and Romanised the once pare and
glorious Charelt of Ireland, and went on to remark that
the same simian are excited by seetheties in the minded heathen, Mahornmedans, infidels, and belivers ; could,

The Mayor of Dorchester briefly proposed a vote of I
tbmtita to the Rev. & W. Pears, for ha lectors.
The FGT, H. Moule, in seconding the melee, observed
that the tree from which Mr. Pears had read • glowing
and laudatory description of & ritualistic service, was
written by a elorayman of the Church of England, in
the diooese of Salisbury, and arehdeaeocry of Dorset,
occupying • prominent position, and the Bishop of
Salisbury knew the eters of that tract.
The Rev. Reginald Smith proposed • vote of thanks
to the Chairman. This was not the er4 time that Mr.
R. ff. Eliot bad ems forward in defence of the truth

tant Churels—(applam). He wished to remind them
of the Important meeting to be held at Salisbury next
Tetedey (to-day). Many of them would remember the
mestuig at Dorebester not many weeks ago, under the
presidency of Lord Shaftesbury, which stirred up the
Protestant feting in the country which had been
slumbering before, and he treed it would never
slumber again till this leisi•popery, hardly to be distin-
guished from real popery, was case root and branch
out of the Church—(ao{llam). All who possibly could

One word with respect to the lecture. There might
have been some few etatements in it which came into

felt that one or two of the statements were extreme,
but be felt certain in his own mind that the leatnrer
had proved his point— (applause). He felt • little
startled when he heed him say "human art hal noth-
ing to do with spiritual religion," but he considered
that every point wee proved by an overwhelming
amount of testimony from history in all ages. The
principle Mr. Pears laid down as the bees of his lecture
had been folly established—(applause). Human en had
really nothing at all to do with spiritual religion. He
had lately seen the strongest evidence of it. He
returned from Italy a short time bek—the country
where /esthetic religion was carried to its I
, greatest height with every aid of consummate art in
arelsiteturs, painting, and mail.; and there he bad
seen evidence of the truth of what Mr. Pears had
asserted as to the ahem of any connection between
Indbetie religion and spiritual religion. He had been
tmit at soma of the towndeet oeremonisla of the
Catholic church in the great cathedral of St.
Peter'., than which a inch) magnificent building had
never been erected, but as for It. effect upon the minds
of the people, it did not even teach them to behave

mention one ceremony he saw in SR Peter's, in the

however, considered the helene. of evidence was in

At the conclusion of these Oillst, his Honour read his
decision In the action against the Hon. Ormitlay

ander *Molt the plaint was laid, he proceeded to
remark that if it had been proved that the dog white
had been secured by the defendant was not in pursuit of
game with the knowledge of the plaintiff, then the object-
ties raked by the plaintiff's solicitor, Mr. Teaber,would
have been velid. He then very minutely west
the evidence, pointing out that thehlthd
previously told one of the defendant's keepers he bad
fis mneb tight to hunt the dog as be bad • that the dog
was proved to be in pursuit al game when ought, and
as the deputation from the lord of the Millor gave the
keeper power he had perfect right to retain the dog.
He then considered In how far the credibility of the
witnesses affeeted the cue, and showed that though
not the least evidence was addmied spinet the
wertildlity of thou brought fortrard by the defendant,
both the plaintiff and his witness had been convicted,
the former once for on assault and one. for poaching,
and the latter several times for the same offense. He
therefore considered that the balance of testimony was
strongly in favour of the defendant, and accordingly be

THE NAVAL REVIEW.

The greet naval spectacle at Spitheed on Wednesday
was a partial failure, through the unpropitious state of
the weather. Toe meteorological observers predicted
dirty weather, but even they could not have expected
that it would be oohed salt really was. Al five o'clock
al Portsmouth the heaven was bright, but Glen was •
brims which smelt damp, and which grew every half-
hour strainer and yet stronger from the south-west.
With any other wind the review could hardly have
Whitto be the grandest spectacle that the world has
ever men. From the north it would not have hurt •
jolly boat- from the south or the neat the sea would not
have had specs to grow; but the wind was precisely
front that direction which drove up between the Needles
and Must Castle the nasty swell that it generated In
the open waters below Portland, and of such • etrength
that it made the pbrue "the yeast of waves" rather an
unhappy reality than a mere pieturesque figure of
speech. And as the day waxed older the weather
become worse. Black squalls crept up Chemist, and
dashed upon Spitheted in too frequent succession after
noon. "Channel weather"—end everybody knows how
very had such weather can be—tried to equal the white
squalls of the sunny Mediterranean in foroe, and sue
needed in eclipsing them in naskiness. For this muse
the Grand Review of the Horne Fleet, long thought of,
long talked a, long prepared for, was • failure ; and
with the exception of an imposition of the fleet, and •
certain amount of gun-practice, and • mimic contest, not
between heavy Iron and gnat wood, but between little
iron and sundry earth and stone works, there wu little
to repay the visitor for his toils or to sandy his reason-
' able expectations. The House of Commons suspended
its eittinp and the members went down almost to a
man to thud. The Sultan, too, and the Viceroy,
and the rince of Wales also went thither. The Ten-
Jere, Bangalore, China, Seine, and Le Plata, which were
all chartered by the Admiralty, weighed anchor shortly
before ten o'clock, arid steamed down Southampton
Water with flne weather, though ominous clouds had
begun to show to windward. After passing Netley
Hospital the fleet came into view, but apparently the
vessels comprising it were disposed in no regular order,
and it was only on a near approach that it could be seen
with whet precision places had been taken and kept.
They were arranged in two parallel lines, the port divi-
sion being made up of 16 wooden ships, and the starboard
division of 15 ironclad.. beaded respectively by the
Victoria carrying the flag of the Admiral, Sir T. 8.
Pulley, and the Minotaur bearing the flag of Rear'
Admiral Warden. Them lines extended from opposite
Hyde pier nearly to the Wane, Light. The total
strength of the whole fleet wee of yeenels of war (Mau-
sive of armed troop ships, M.), 49, mounting 1,092
pus, and having an &predate horse-pnwer of 92,500
horses and • burden of MOOD tons. This in nimbus
exceeded the diet that left for the Bettie under Sir
Merles Napier in 1854. The Victoria, the repreeenta-
tin of the old woodeallee of beetle ships, so nugnificent
itnnsizearthee, so 11/111•1111 now in actual warfare, showed
grandly at the head of sue line, while the Minotaur, far
1., handsome but far more effective, headed an array of
armour-plated vessels which could easily diem& of all
the rest of the ships in the British navy either put or
pressure One could not fail to be Meek with the style
and contour of the old-fashioned vessels. Perfect, or
damn perfect, in form, they only wanted the aseuranee
of strength, and no one could have doubted their
strength if it had not been for the line of armour-plated
vessels which lay alongside them. Setting aside the
magnificent flegahip tbe Victoria, there were few leads-
men who would not have rested all their hopes upon
such craft as the Donegal, the Revenge, the Irresistible,
the Mersey, the Liffey, or the Liverpool, had not par-
liamentary debates and newspaper controversies ac-
quainted them with the infinite superiority of the dark
and ugly-looking vessels beyond them, the Minotaur,
the Achilles, the Warrior, the Black Prince, the
Belleropbon, the Royal Sovereign, the Prince Albert,
and the Wivern, to say nothing of the Viper, the
Vixen, and the Waterwitch, which in their means
of annoyance, if not in their powers di destruction,
would probably °drivel any vessels in the fleet.
The arrive' of the Sultan ma first made known by •
flash of flame and • mem of emoke darted with violence
from the side of the Viotoria, and then gradually rolled
out upon the ocean till it died away. The Viceroy was
an hour after the time fixed for his arrival, and the
salute in honour of the Sultan was speedily followed by
that which welcomed his Lieutenant in the land of
Egypt. The preemies of the Sultan and Viceroy was
formed from the harbour, and with the wind whistling
through the rigging, and • cold leaden-coloured sea,
flecked with white mehories surging aphist their bows,
the Osborne and Helicon stood out towards Spithead,
followed by other vessels which were entitled to take
part in the pageant, and by some non-official steamers.
There were few yachts to be seen at sea as the Sultan
and the Viceroy approached the fleet, and by that time
the shore was almost shrouded from view by the send
which flew to leeward from the island, and no small bone
would venture out. Not till the Sultan's yacht was
clam upon the flagship* did the salute begin, and there
was something stately and magnificent in the style is
which the hue vessels fired gun for gun almost simul-
taneously with each other, till the Channel was wreathed
in clouds of white curling smoke which, mounting higher
as the wind took it landward, shrouded alike spars and
hull in its thick mass—thicker even than the mists which
had preceded it. Then, almost before the report reached
the spectators' ears the act was repeated.by each of the
vessels in inooolll6oo. and as the ••1101[13 cleared away,
yards were seen to be maned throughout the fleet, and
the Osborne, with the Sultan on board, passed between
the ironclad* and wooden ships, followed by the Helicon
with the Viceroy on board, and by the Admiralty yacht
Enchantress the two peddle-Mainers, Gladiator and
Terrible, acting as escort. The three yachts proceeded
then to Osborne, where the illustrious visitors were re-
ceived by her Majesty on board the Victorie and Albert
*yacht, on the quarterdeck of which her Majesty in.
vested the Sultan with the Order of the Garter. The
royal yacht then took the Mund between the line or
war ships, fellowed by the Syria and Ripon carrying
the the members of the Homes of Lords and Commons,
and the vessels loaded with spectators, and steamed on
towards the position she was to *coupe in the review.
As the little equadron with the Turkish and Egyptian
ensigns flying, and the Admiralty yachts in attendance
passed between the lines, the crews out on the yards—
even on the topgallant yards, in spite of squalls which
made the great line-of-battle ships heel over visibly—
cheered with that deep yet ringing resonance winds
pierces even through the thunders of the cannon. As
the yachts approached Osborne, the Royal yacht could
be discerned through • fresh squall which wiped out •
gleam of ennalnite, but it was WM that the Royal
standard was flying. There was • short delay off
Osborne, daring which the rain fell with considerable
spirit, and the wind falsified the prognoeticatioes that
the rain would beat it down. Soon the standard of
the Turk and the Royal standard of Ragland flew to-
gether from the main of the Victoria and Albert, and
proclaimed that the Sultan was in the presence of our
Queen. The first aired made had put an end to all
hope of naval manouvres, end obliterated the most
eagerly-looked for portion of the day's programme.
It was "annul weighing." It was 1.40 when the
Queen's yacht moved slowly ahead, preceded by
the Trinity yacht as pilot, and followed by the
Osborne, Helicon, Eneliannees, and other vessels
placed at the disposed of visitors. A rumour ran from
ship to dile that, by the desire of her Manny, no Mute
should be fired, end that the yards should not be manned
as she steamed between the lines of the Best. Bei
whether this was a false alarm or a momentary lull in
the weather caused • change in the Royal purism,
certain it is that as the Victoria and Albert draw Deal

by another from the Italian corvette, seemed to unloose
the muzzles of the British flak and from ship to ship

the abating storm, or dying away in • hearse rough
murmur in the midst of an angry squall. The effect of

as if determined to show that they had not in these days

Majesty's gracious consideration of the opportunity of
exhibiting themselves at the end of the royal yard-
arms, insisted on decorating the truths, and to the
admiration of the epeetators as they passed now the
Bleak Prime, now the Warrior, men were IND aloft
waving their cape or eying pima of bunting, and lead-
ing the cheers which were almost lost ip the norm. The
smoke of the salute had cleared away before the Royal
yacht had well entered the path marked out by the lines
of the fleet, and by the time her Majesty had cleared
the Minotaur and the Victoria there was • profound
silence from one extremity of the armada to the other.
The Queen's yacht slowly rounded the Serapia, and then

Scarcely had the answering pennant been cleared before

Now gun after gun, now by volleys of three or four or
more et • time, mid now by broadsides, the ships hurled
harmless Ihnudere at each other, and soon e whole
fleet was enshrouded ill • dense mope of smoke, from
amid which were ever and anon discernible bright sharp
flashes of fire, and out of which came a hoarse dull roar
produced by the old smooth-bore inns, varied ever and

The Minotaur fired amend broadeldes. Ones or twice

might imagine to he imprisoned within bee Icreg bleak

weigh rather than to float upon the water, her fireman.,
and her double topsail yards, the Minotaur is to the eye I
of the admirer of our old style of men-of-war—indeed to
that of any one who prefers beauty to utility—altogether
odious in her &epigram!. ; but even the most prejudiced
of her detractors cannot fall to admit that she seems the
very embodiment of strength. Although every the

Gpacceeccion (indictment) read by the registrar narrates
tbe circumstances of the crime as set forth by the
" Chamber of Accusation." Bermowski, in answer to
the interrogatories of the President, admitted all the
circumstances of the crime. He went to look at the
Cur at the Northern Railway station on June I, in
order to see whether be could punish him for what he
had done and prevent him from committing the sacrilege
of setting his foot on French soil. Not from that
moment only, but before, be was resolved to kill him.
He had long thought of revenging on him the wrongs
of his country. He did not exactly think to kill him
when he was in Poland; bat when he saw the Czar in
France, end found it wan possible to get near him, he
resolved to do it —(earasatioo).
The Judge here said the jury would observe that
the prisoner spoke with SOME hesitation. Thu was
the result of a nalaral defect in his omens of speech,
and they must sot &twos* it arose from any remorse.

but by killing him I gave him a chance of expiation,

The esamination of the witnesses for the prosseutlon
was short and simple. The first was K. Iteimbeaux,

for his master the munificent reward of £12,000 in

occasion was the undisputed clannant (nothing being

Beresowski, confirmed the statement (as, by the way,
did other witnesses) that persons in the crowd wanted
to subject Beresowslod to lynch law then sad there.
Several gendarmes and policeman deposed to the

It was further deposed that in the prisoner's 4tr

M. Russesewskl, formerly colonel of the Wolhysia
Lasers, knew Bereaossaki at the time of the Polish
insurrection of 1863. He csuld give him a first-rate
character as a good, brave, and zealous soldier. When
the insurrection was put down be was terribly &filleted.
He was like a child who bad lost his mother. Witness

Bat his love of country woo intense and persistent. Hs
recionneed the hope of seeing his country resusci-

Insurrection. On account of his extreme youth, for be

were kept back (men him • but he gummed them, got
arms for himself, and collated. When in the ranks be
invariably set an example of obedience to his officers
and hearty so-operation with his comrades. He was in
despair when the insurrection tailed. His character warn
in every point of view excellent.
U. Bewsputowaki, also an offieer of the immensities
of 1863, said he knew Beresowski. The officers wars
doubtful whether they should enlist him on account of
his extreme youth. Bat he made • lane, for himself
and joined. Never knew a better soldier or • more
moral man. After the fame of the war he, with other
officers, endeavoured to pet the young soldiers in some
