REPRESENTATION OF FIFE.—We under-
.tand that in some parts of Fife a repot prevails that
Wemps is about to retire from Parliament, and,
- It, in this case, the Reformers are likely to unite in sup-
Tt Nlr. James Aytoun.—Scotiish Pilot.
GRATITUDE.—On Saturday afternoon a la-
!)-jurer, named Champion, digging in the chalk-pit rear
,lisbury. was buried under a mass of chalk, which sud-
)..nlv fell in. The Earl of Radnor, hearing of the acci-
-immediately went to the spot, behaving with the
natest humanity end kindness, and when the sufferer was
leased from the rubbish, his Lordship accompanied him
o the infirrnarji,.to prevent the men from hurrying on too
much, or from giving him liquor, which they were desir-
mis of doing; but this considerate conduCt was rewarded
the most insolent abuse, which these ruffianly levellers
i!oaped upon the Noble Earl, telling him that, " though
were Lord Radnor, he WAS nothing better than one of
Wilts Gazette.

*LIE EDUCATION SCHENIEAND THE METHO-
c ...)ISTs.—The part which the Wesleyan Methodists have taken
ad arc taking in this affair, it is scarcely possible to contem
plate without mingled feelings of contempt and incligna-
! t;n—lontempt for a body of men who, at the mere beck and
.. ,c 1 of their priests, and in utter ignorance of the facts,
-Quid consent to oppose the first step that has been made
J.l bilis country towards establishing anything like a system
' . ''. national education for the poor; and indignation at the
• :jotry and intolerance displayed by their leaders. These
t ,4raons have discofered, forsooth, that the Catholic ver-
. Sion of the Bible is " corrupted," and that " certain
' notes are generally connected" with it which inculcate
she most pernicious errors in doctrine and practice."
i Why, have the men who now set up their judgment as the
afalNble test of right, not a version and notes of their
own, to which the Churchman refuses to assent, and
l do they consider that a sufficient reason why their
children should be refused admission to public
schools? Do they imagine that, by excluding
the Catholic from all participation in the bene-
fits
of the State provision for education, by
treating him as ae, alien and an outets,/, they will prevent
the Catholic Bible from being taugrito the children of
Catholic parents ? The scheme has been tried in Ireland
for nearly three centuries, and vain has been the *tempt
Do the Wesleyans imagine that,it will prove•more succes-
ful in England ? Do they think that the reign of intole-
rance can be re-established here ? And if they do re-esta-
Wish it, let them not imagine that the Catholics alone will
be the sufferers. The Church that would put down
lila Catholic by force, would be as little scrupulous in
Itching the Dissenter, were the opportunity to arise. The
Conference is now the useful ally and pliant tool of the
Church
—ady instrument in all dirty work ; .ind is,
therefore, piffled on the back and flattered : but if another
John Weblpy should arise, with a conscience somewhat
less pliant Than that of Mr. Bunting or of Mr. Newton,
"he Church would soon teach him and his followers that
Dissent wjia as little to be tolerated as Catholicism by those
who are Pid for raising their "mitred fronts in Courts
and palaces."---Carks/e Journal.
