FIVE RINI:TEN TOO LATE:
Or, AN ELOPEMENT TO 1111E111%.
Sketched fo. the purpse of Introducing • superb Display of the
LURONATION OF CHARLES X, KING OF FRANCE.

Las forbidden the practice in all discussions in

the rules of order and decency are observed. We
like by with disdain ; and we call upon the
advocates of the new system to meet us in the fair
houourabie field of deoate. Let them prove that
regard for religion" can only be " pretended"
requires that the study of theology should constitute
essential part of the education of youth, and that they have
. regard for it who purpose to discard it altogether.
can •be substantiated, we will admit that our objec-

unfounded, though we will never subsetibe to the
scandalous and malevolent imputations which those objec-
_ have called forth. An argument, however, is at-
tempted in defence of the new system of education without
religious instruction. It is said that " the new University,
not being a mere nursery for the clergymen of any particular
sect, but calculated for the wants of a population of every
variety of religious creed, cannot, of course, possess a theo-
logical faculty." If, indeed, a knowledge of religious truth
were of no importance but to clergymen, it might be as well
that theology were not taught where clergymen certainly
*ill not be educated, but the assumption is wholly false.
The Universities of Oxford and Cambridge are not
" mere nurseries for clergymen," nor is it true, that
because there may be some differences as to doctrine
or discipline, a theological faculty is "of course" inad-
missible, In the fundamental principles of Christianity all
classes of Christians are agreed; and as well might it be
pretended that no science should be taught in the new
" University" in which the Professors have differed from
each other, as that theology should be wholly excluded,
because in every particular article of faith all men may not
be in a perfect state of conformity.
The principal recommendation of the new metropolitan

seminary is the cheap rate at which instruction is to be
afforded. This advantage, we believe, is greatly over-
stated: the charge, we are informed, will amount to about
301. a-year ; whilst at Oxford or Cambridge, the expense
for lectures on every subject, not excepting religion, does
not exceed half that sum. It is true that a collegiate edu-
cation will altogether amount to five times as much as
the expense of the lectures at the intended London Aca-
demy. But board, lodging, and apparel are included
in the fermer case, while in the latter instruethm alone is
all the Students are to receive.

To those parents who live in the immediate vicinity of
the new Institution, and who may be satisfied with an
education for their sons without religious instruction of
any kind, the embryo scat of learning may have irresistible
attractions. But fcr those, whether Churchmen or Dis-
senters, who wish their childrim to be good Christians as
well as good scholars, or whose residence is more remote,
the new "University" will be no place to be selected for
imbuing youth with the principles by which their man-
hood is to be guided.
Again, we say, let the Dissenters have an Academy or
S:minary, or University (if they arc pleased so to term it)
of their own, and let Churchmen have another; bat let
theohwy he a prominent featut eof both. Let not the CRC..
ceasors of a WATTS and a DODDRIDGE amongst the one,
and of a Bannon, and a SHERLOCK amongst the other,
unite in giving countenance to a plan, which, pretending
to regard religion as supremely important, leaves it out of
consideration altogether.

A strange misrepresentation of a late speech of Mr.
Ca NNI NG appears in a Morning Paper of yesterday. The
Right lion. Secretary, after explaining the circumstances
under which he had judged it proper to decline receiving
the Minister from Buenos Ayres, added that " a partner
in a highly respectable mercantile house in the City had
been appointed Consul by that State, and had in right
of that appointment called on him (Mr. CANNING)
and tendered his credentials, offering then to enter upon
the discussion of points of the highest importance. "But,"
the Right Hon. Gentleman continued, " he felt it his duty
most positively to refuse entering into any negotiation with
that gentleman on the subject of his mission. Ile could
not acknowledge hint in any diplomatic character whatever.
Besides which, that gentleman was the very person of all
others from whom it would be most needful to conceal the
particular information which would be disclosed in the
course of that discussiun into which be proposed to outer."
Mr. CA NNI NG'S objection was simply on principle that
mercantile men ought not to be appointed Consuls, espe-
cially hem the new American States, with which our re-
lations are more of commerce than of polities. The
British Consuls abroad have been strictly forbidden to
enter into any mercantile pursuit. If they should be
fewid transgressing this irjunctien they will imme-
diately be removed. The grounds of Mr. CANNING'S ob-
jection arc clear and intelligible. Every body must approve
them. 'flee new States have undoubtedly erred in appoint-
ing mercantile men, however respectable, as their Consuls.
But Mr. CANNING was careful to avoid casting any reflec-
tion on the individuals who had received these appointments.
He spoke of them, as they deserved to be treated, as persons
"highly respectable." In a Morning Paper of yesterday,'
however, there is a quotation, purporting to be from "Mr. •
CANNING'S speech in the House of Commons, July 5, 1823,"
in Which the Right Hon. Gent. is represented to have said
that, "with respect to the case to which he had just alluded,
he would only say, that if there was one Man in the City
of London he would not trust with the intentions of
Government towards South America, it would be the per-
sons appointed by the States of that Continent." The
writer who selects this passage afterwards makes a general
attack on the agents of the New States, who, he says,
"do nothing but injure and disgrace those who have placed
confidence in them." He adds, "To what an excess must
not their base practices have reached, when the Minister
for Fagot Allsirs, one of the most astute men of the age,
roused to indignation, stands w 2 in his place in the House
of Commons, and denounces the South American Agents
en maw, Envoys, Consuls and all, without one redeeming
exception, as a pack of jobbers and tricksters that he
can hold no communication with ; nun who have
sold their official influence, and prostituted the name
of their country to the schemers of the many con-
spiracies got up in London to defraud the public." No
misrepresentation was ever more groundless or inex-
cusable than this. Mr. CANNING, so far from treating the
South American convoys and Consuls as " a pack of
jobbers and tricksters," spoke in well deserved terms of
personal rerpect concerning these to wham he had occasion
to refer. lie objected on principle, and we think justly,
to the employment of British merchants as Consuls from the
new States in this country, when there was no resident Mi-
nister, because it would in such cases be necessary sometimes
to enter upon discussions which it would be peculiarly de-
sirable to conceal from them as being actually,engaged in
mercantile pursuits. But there was not the 'Ugliest inten-
tion on the part of Mr. CANNING to throw a shadow of
suspicion on the characters of any of the " South American
Agents."
