CHRISTIE'S DISCOURSES on the DI-

Who was the God of our Lord Jesus Christ ? One only, say
the Trinitarians, of three Persons, in whom we live, and move,
and have our being. Upon the showing of the Scriptures, ar©
these things indeed so ? That they are not, we neither ask, nor
need any other demonstration, than that the patrons of the ,
hy-
pothesis are not, and never have been, content with the phrase-

Last eVening Mr. .aak„i, th 6 ._Cirafte
patteOed on Friday last, re-assembled at the London _.
pita!, for the Of further prosecuting their inquiey
tout,::!ng the death of Haynes, the trainer of the
animals, who, it will be recollected. died from the cff et of'
the bite of a leopard, at p esent exhibiting in the etiltection
wi'l'd bffa.t!ts at the St. James's Tlyeatre. At the conch./
sion or the eiYiVeilce the Coroner observed, that so f.o. as
respected the present unfOrafnate accident, the act of the
deceased in going into the den was perWctly voluntary and
of his own tree will. The case would be very different
had he been forced into it by any person. or compelled fu
enter it by his master. In his (the Coroner's) opinion the
case did not amount to anything beyond mere accident.
The Jury were of a similar opinion, and returned a verdict
accordingly.
TOULON, MARCH s.—The packet from the
Levant brilvs the following- news from Smyrna, dated
February 20 :—The packet from Constantinople announces
that the Capitan Pasha had been for some days in the
Dardanelles, where he left two engineers, who had received
orders to place the port in a good state of defence. On
his return to Constantinople the Capitan Pasha will inspect
all the fortifications of the coast, and will leave instructions
respecting the works to be executed. The news from
Constantinople was uninteresting, but the preparationq or
the armament of the fleet were proceeding with activity.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES.

lily the operation of the same new principles, the Society is
enabled to afford to the public a plan of DEFERRED ANNUITIES
far more advantageous than any hitherto offered, whereby an
individual, by the contribution of a very small annual,
monthly, or weekly saving, may secure either a comfortable
provision for himself in advanced age, or at his option, a large
sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death.
The industrious classes, hitherto obliged to resort to Savings'
Banks and Benefit Societies, will find in this scheme a far safer
and more profitable application of their savings. This Society
is enabled, by judicious and accurate calculations, to afford a
Deferred Annuity of a much greater amount than has hitherto
been offered, beside, the option of exchanging this annuity
when payable, for a large sum in cash, or a still larger Policy,
payable without premiums at death ; while, by giving to the
purchaser, at any time preceding the stipulated term of the
Annuity's commencement, the power of borrowing two-thirds
of an previous payments, it removes all risk of forfeiture from
inability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample re-
source during sickness and want of employment ; and, should
the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
The purchaser has also the power of converting, en equal terms,
his deferred into a prese It Annuity.
The following tables are a specimen of the great and varied
advantages which the judicious application of a small saving can
sesure through the Society.

ATTACK UPON ADEN.

Lord LYNDHURST said he understood that an
attack had been made upon the fortress of Aden by
a force sent from Bombay, and considerable slaughter
of the natives bad taken place. Now, as the
Sultan of that country had always been friendly
with England, he (Lord Lyndhurst) wished to
know what explanation the Noble Viscount could make
upon the subject.
Lord MELBOURNE said an attack had been
made, from the fortress of Aden, upon a vessel
belonging to her Britannic Majesty, and negotiations
had been commenced, upon a demand for satisfaction,

for the sale of the fortress to the East India Company,
and an agreement to that effect was made; but when the
forces arrived to take possession, the son of the Sultan
said his father had no right to dispose of the fortress, and
demanded mere for it, upon which the fortress was attacked.
In answer to Lord L YND HU RST the Noble
Viscount said he would lay on the table the documents.

London, England, 1839-03-12

ANTI-CORN-LAW DELEGATION,

The Delegates are arriving in considerable oumbera
again, to return to their labours. Already have Man-
chester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee,
Halifax, Huddersfield, Leeds, Derby, Nottingham,
Leicester, Bradford, Preston, Bolton, Stockport, and
some other places, sent:their Anti-Corn-law representa-
tives, and resolved to agitate the great question of free
trade until all prohibitions and restrictions are removed,
The refreshing which the Delegates had received at 1
the Manchester meeting, has invigorated them for a
another campaign, and the Ministers and Parliament
may look for constant annoyance both in and out of the
House, until the claims of the manufacturers be
granted.
The men who have taken this matter up,
will never lay it down again until they have
obtained their purposes : and every temporary
check which they receive will but accelerate and
accumulate their force. Indeed there is no place for
them to retire. They cannot go on, with the Corn-la w
unrepealed, for the ground is taken away from under'
their feet, and they must perish in so doing. They
go back with it unrepealed, for they find that
can ra;.f.
ruin stares cm in the face, and the country sighs with
foreboding desolatioiL They must either take the field
and commit themselves to the chances of an economico-
wLich‘they must spend much
political struggle—during
money, time, and talent—or tt;7 must submissively
see themselves plundered by legislator.al ignorance and
knavery, until nothing shall be left them but their up-
rightness.
Information continually comes in illustrative of the
baneful effects of the Corn-laws. In the completely
agricultural districts the misery of the labourers and
little farmers is very great, and if, with all the
pretended protection for them, this is the best
condition that can be afforded them, they can lose no-
thing surely by a change of system, and would have the
greatest natural chance that can be afforde,-1 them of
improvement.
What kind of prohibition would the shopkee);ers of
this country think it was for them if their landOrds
could impose a high tax upon everything which th,"'Y
sold—the loaf going into their landlord's pocket
Would the shoemaker find that he sold more shoes,
and at better profit, if every pair of shoes
were doubled in price by a landlord's tax ? Mould he
not rather sell few';'r shoes at less profit ? Would the
tailor be better off for ii direct tax on clothes, for the
benefit of his landlord or clothier ? Would there n,,t
be fewer, clothes purchased, and a smaller profit upon
them ? And can the farmers expect to profit by taxes,
restrictions, and prohibitions on their produce ? if they
do, they will be the first set of men that ever did profit
by such a system, and most likely will be the last.

CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.

Mr. DEN NISTOUN presented a petition from Glas-

POST-OFFICE

The Bishop of LONDON said that, exactly a month
ago, he had moved for certain returns res:)ecting a
proposition which had excited a great degree of
feeling in the metropolis—he meant the sub-
ject of a Sunday delivery of letters at the post-
office. A memorial had been presented to the
Treasury, signed by 1,600 attornies and solicitors of
London, against this measure. To that memorial no
answer had been returned, nor had even its receipt been
acknowledged. He would therefore ask the Noble
Viscount at the head of her Majesty's Government,
what were the intentions of the Government with regard
to this proposition ?
Viscount MELBOURNE said the proposition was
not yet before the Treasury.
The Bishop of LONDON said that the Noble

Viscount's answer was not satisfactory, for although the
proposition inioa not have been as yet brought before
the Treasury, yet still it would be satisfactory to the
memorialists, and to the country at hsrge, to be assured
that they need entertain no apprehensions with regard to
this subject.
Lord MELBOURNE was understood to say tl:at
nothing bad yet been done upon the subject.

CHRIST'S HOSPITAL.

Saturday being St. Matthew's Day, and the day on \
which the two Senior Grecians leave Christ's Hospital
for Cambridge, was celebrated at this admirable institu-
tion in the manner prescribed by ancient usage, and the
Great Hall once more presented a scene not exceeded
in interest by any which the metropolis affords. The
doors were thrown open at twelve o'clock, and the Hall
soon became filled. Shortly before two o'clock the
Lord Mayor, accompanied by the Duke of St. Albans,
the Sheriffs, and a considerable number of the Gover-
nors, entered the Hall, having previously attended
divine service in Christ Church, Newgate-street, when
a sermon was preached by the Rev. Edward Bice,
D.D., Head Master of the School. When they
had taken their seats the business of the day com-
menced. George Henry Farr, the second Grecian, de-
livered a Latin oration on the benefits of the Royal
Hospitals. The delivery and composition of this essay
deserve high praise. It commenced with a well-merited
tribute to the memory of Edward VI., the founder of
Christ's Hospital ; referred to the difficulties in which
that Prince was placed at the time of his accession,
and described with accuracy and vigour the demoralised
state of society at that period, the natural effects of the
darkness of ignorance which then covered the land. With
a just tribute of respect and gratitude to the patrons of
the Hospital, who had carriedout the design of the founder,
and with a prayer tor their eternal welfare and its con-
tinued prosperity, the oration concluded. The loud-
est testimony of approbation followed. The next ora-
tion, in English, was similar in its effect, and was deli-
vered by Robert Andrews, the first Grecian, so well,
that it would indeed be a difficult task to decide to
which of the youthful orators the palm was due. Five
others went through the same task with equal credit to
themselves and to the school. A Greek Sapphic Ode,
on Britannia, was delivered by Hugo D. Harper ; a
Latin Alcaic ode, in praise of commerce, which dwelt
especially on the commercial greatness and prosperity
of England, and breathed a prayer fur its continuance,
by Henry Newport ; Greek lambics, on " Napoleon at
St. Helena," by Samuel Phillips ; Latin Hexameters, on
" Moses conducting the Israelites," by John A. L.
Airey ; and an English poem, by H. J. Sumner Maine,
on Christ's Hospital.
At the conclusion the boys, about 800 in number,
sang " God save the Queen," with great spirit and
effect.

WORSHIP-STREET.

Marta Howes, a poor, hard-working woman, was on
Friday fully committed for trial, on a charge of stealing a
shirt from her employer, a straw-bonnet maker ; the case
was purely one of suspicion, and the poor woman most
solemnly asserted her innocence. This day the prosecu-
trim and her husband came to the office in great trepida-
tion, and prayed that the poor woman might be instantly
released, as they had found the shirt under their bed. The
Magistrate sent for the poor woman, Howes, who was
brought from gaol and discharged; when the prosecutor
entered into an arrangement with her to give her 11. down
as a compensation, and undertook to find her constant
work.

HATTON- GARDEN.

ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Elizabeth Cuthbert, a mid-
dle-aged woman, was placed at the bar charged with
stealing two squirrel skins, the property of Thomas Med-
calf. It appeared that the prosecutor is a furrier, and the
prisoner, who was in his employ, was in the habit of
taking her work home to finisk. She came on Friday as
usual to the shop for work, and the prosecutor's wife ob-
served her take one of the skins off the counter and put
it into her pocket secretly, the other beneath her shawl.
On the prisoner leaving the shop Mrs. Medcalf
informed her husband of what she had observed,
and the prisoner was pursued and given into custody.
When taken, she denied having taken the squirrel skins,
which, however, were found upon her.
The prisoner seemed deeply affected by her situation,
and fainted away in the dock during the course of the pro-
ceedings. She made no defence but begged hard for
mercy, declaring solemnly it was her first offence.
The prosecutor stated he had frequently missed squirrel
skins of late.—She was fully committed for trial.
George Hutting, police constable of the G division, was
summoned by his superintendent for neglect of duty. This
being the first time this clause of the Metropolitan Police
Courts Bill had come under the
~cognizanee of the Magis-
trates, it excited great interest. By the Act, any police
constable neglecting his duty is liable to a penalty not ex-
ceeding 101., or to one month's imprisonment and hard la-
bour, at the option of the Bench. The defendant's wife
came to the station and reported him ill. On the next
morning he was sent to the surgeon, who thought him
shamming, but reported him off duty for that night. On
Saturday morning the surgeon ordered him on duty, and
last night in going the rounds he was found sleeping on the
door steps of a house. The defendant said he was ill." The
Superintendent said if that had been the c.,.se he could have
reported dimself, and he would have been sent home.
The MAGISTRATE said the case was proved to his satis-
faction, and fined him IL, which was immediately paid.

QUEEN- S QUARE.

Alfred Stevenf, a youth aged seventeen, was placed at
the bar, charged, on his own confession, with causing the
death of a man named Thomas -, by shooting bim with
a gun, at North-end, Fulham. The prisoner and the de-
ceased were in the employ of a market-gardener, named
Styles.
About nine o'clock on Saturday morningthe prisoner went
into the cottage and took a gun from the hand of a little
girl, and carrying it to the door began snapping the trigger.
There were two females present, who advised him to put
it down ; but he said it was not loaded, and pulled the
trigger, when the piece went off, and the charge, consist-
ing of two ounces of swan shot, entered the breast of the
deceased, and killed him almost instantaneously. The
prisoner, when he saw the man fall, became frantic with
grief, and, after running for a doctor, gave himself up to
the police. _

The two females, and Mr. Styles, the master of the
lad, confirmed the above facts, arid the prisoner, in the
most pitiable agony of mind, made a similar statement.
The Magistrate said that there was evidently no ill feel-
ing or intention to injure the deceased man; he should,
therefore, discharge the youth, who bad done all that the
innocent cause of so great a calamity could do.
On promiiing to attend at the inquest, the youth was
set at liberty.

these charges sufficiently demonstrates that both can-
' not be true. Every attentive reader of Mr. Wyse's
speeches and publications very well knows that both
are false. His admirable volume on Educational Re-
form is a masterly exposition of the principles on which
spiritual training may be combined with mr:ntal instruc-
tion, and sectarian animosity abated, without infringing
any just facilities for the early inculcation of sectarian
peculiarities. But what matter to these assailants the
differences between a papistical and an infidel tendency?
Both are ugly words, and excite alarm in certain
classes. Any other term having the same tendency
would be employed with the same alacrity and iteration.
Had the superstitions of two centuries ago been preva-
lent now, it would have been vehemently asserted, from
day to day, that Mr. Wyse's views of education had a
direct tendency to the damnable sin of witchcraft."
The Morning Herald, speaking of Maroto's affair,
and the downfall of Carlini in Spain, indulges in the
following fine moral flourish :—" We observe that the
grateful Liberals' of Madrid, in congratulating each
other upon the defeat of an enemy whom, at all events,
arms did not subdue, cried out that ' this was a triumph
in which no foreigner had any share—it had all been
achieved by Spanish arms and Spanish policy alone.'

We could most devoutly wish t had, and that noEnglish-
man had the remotest co. section with the blood-b,-,-
grimed treason. The whole affair is, indeed., warily
of Spanish politics and Spanish morals. But what a
tale it will be for the future historian to tell Of moral,
of Christian, of Protestant England, if the Whig jour-
nals should be correct in fixing the infamy of these pro-
ceedings on our own Government 1"
The Morning Advertiser remarks, with reference to
the late remonstrance of some of the Ripon Clergy
with the Marquis of Londonderry for his duel with
Mr. Grattan :—" In our opinion the Clergymen who
remonstrated with his Lordship are entitled to all praise.
Their holy office justified them in their appeal ; and the
rank and church livings possessed by the Noble Marquis
proves its Christian character. Would that the Clergy
in every part of the country would thus manfully de-
clare the Christian law to be the same for the rich as
for the poor—for the noble as for those who cannot
boast of titles—and we should hear but little of Dissent,
o,
and still less of the senseless cry of the progress I
Catholicism, and the downfall of Protestantism.'

SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE.

We on Friday paid this theatre a visit, which we were
happy to find crowded long before the rising of the curtain.
The performances commenced with a new nautical melo-
drama, entitled Paul the Pilot, or the Tirrech of the Raven
in 1692, which all admirers of splendid scenery, would
do well to see. There is a view of Portsmouth harbour,
which, as a work of art, is entitled to the highest praise.
To this succeeds a moving diorama of the scenery along
the coast, terminating with the departure of his Majesty's
ship Raven—the Raven being a perfect and complete model
of a large class frigate, which is manoeuvred in regular
seaman-like style upon the stage. The illusion is complete,
and the working of the frigate reflects the greatest credit
upon the machinist. Another magnificent effect is pro-
duced at the conclusion of the piece. The wrecked crew of
the Raven, are on a raft in the midst of the ocean. A sail
is seen, and a large ship, the Andromache, occupying the
whole length of the stage, sails in and rescues
them. Honner must have gone to immense expense
in the getting up of this piece—but the public seem
to appreciate the exertions of their indefatigable
caterer, and The Wreck of the Raven will, we doubt not,
prove the fortune of the manager. The Merchant's
Daughter followed, to the success of which the admirable
acting of Mrs Honner and her husband, materially con-
trih impressive
style, Cathcart's somewhat heavy, but very mpressile
style, told well in the character of Mark Freeland. and the
Old Merchant of Williams was worthy the well earned
fame of that sterling actor. The entertainments at this
theatre are altogether of a superior class, and we recom-
mend tbris.lovers of melo-drama to pay a visit to
all
