ing, Dec. 29, 1838, in the large room of the WORKING-MEN'S
ASSOCIATION, Thomas-street,

" That this Meeting having heard, With tnt wt rnost indignation,
of the arrest of the Rev. J. R. Stephens, of .Astitco. 'Tuder-Line,
cn a warrant from the Secretary of State, 'cannot bu. -fw this
proceeding (coupled with the late proclamation against forch-
light
,Meetings) as an evidence of the 'intention of the Traitor
White .Government, backed by the DespOtic Tory Faction, to stay,
by FORCE, the present peaceful and legal movement in favour- of
the PEOPLE'S CHARTER. This Meeting, therefore, feels it
to be its duty to call upon the people to watch closely the proCeed-
ings of the Government, anjl to prepare by all legal and constitu-
tional means to resist any encroachment upon their present right
of PUBLIC MEETINGS and FREEDOM. of SPEECH.

BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY.
CHRISTMAS SUPPLIES.

T. I3ETTS, and CO. respectfully request their
• friends not to postpone giving their Orders for the PATENT
BRANDY beyond the 20th instant, as the multiplicity of orders
from that time to Christmas, renders it impossible for them to re-
gulate their deliveries with that piinctuality which it has ever been
their anxious wish to observe.

The Patentees in consequence of the numerous imitators of the
Patent Brandy avail themselves of this opportunity to state that the
peculiar wholesome properties of their Brandy, attested by many
eminent Chemists and frequently published since its introduction in
1429, are secured by Patent Right, which in itself forms a sufficient
uarantee, if purchasers be careful to establish the identity of the
article.

" Let no such man be trusted."—Shakspeare.
" It is a just observation of Rapin, that in the fifth century
Christianity was deba-ed with a vast number of human inventions,
the simplicity of its government and discipline was reduced to a
system of clerical power; its worship was polluted with rites and
ceremonies borrowed from the Heathen, and the Bishops of Rome
had begun to claim the right of exercising authority over such
parts of the Christian world as were slavish enough to submit to
their jurisdiction. Thus Popery was first formed, although it was
many years afterwards before it advanced to such a state of com-
pletion so as to resemble, in every thing but name, the proscribed
religion of the Pagans."—P. 19.

EFORM OF CHURCH AND STATE
LITURGY. APOSTOLICAL HETERODOXY.
Error in an Established Church, we well know, there can be
none. But the Apostles! The Apostles! We confess our heart
yearns towards such estrays from the fold. True—most true—
they had not the advantage of being born in the second or third
Century of the Christian era : nay, we will, without hesitation,
admit that they were possibly, perhaps, prejudiced from the force
of example, in favour of the worship they adopted, and its phraseo-
logy, nor bore up as they might otherwise have done against the
disadvantages of the Century in which it pleased Providence they
should live. But, after all, what if the Church of England should
boast her triumph somewhat more meekly ! If there is no insolence
meant to them in the term Trinity, it looks like it, and such a
hazard might well be spared. It is surely showing up an omission,
whether voluntary or involuntary, a little too bluntly and harshly.
And without being the dupe of her philanthropy (we cannot forget
the men the Apostles were) could she not still preserve a certain
doctrine (which, from the extreme unwariness of their expressions
might, it must be owned, almost seem absolutely unknown to these
earlier preachers of the Gospel), by praying to the Father, in the
name of the Son, for the Holy Spirit ? Would the Church of Eng-
land plunge herself at once into a desperate and unholy Unit-a-
rianism, by good.naturedly throwing a veil over the defects or
obliquities of the only Apostolic model of devotion ?
