render effective assistance to the good cause. Since
the year 1821, the number of habitual worshippers at
Blackburn, in connection with the Established Church
has increased tenfold, while the increase of population
has been in the ratio of only one to three. At the for-
mer period there was only one Church in this great town.
There are now four, and it has been determined to
erect a fifth. We sincerely hope that the other towns
of England will not disregard the admonition which.
this example conveys. The chief cause which deprives
people of England of the full measure of advantage
which they ought to derive from a national Church so
pure and so excellent
,as that which is happily esta-.

Wished- in this country', is, we are persuaded, the want
of accommodation in our existing, Churches com-
mensurate with the numbers of our people. It is
a duty the performance of which is sure to be attended
by the immediate recompence and glory of success, to
provide suitable places of worship in. connection with
the Church for, the people of England everywhere, in
proportion to their actual number, without the least re-
gard to the question whether a larger or a smaller pro-
portion of that number may at the present moment
swell the ranks of Dissent. The strength and influence
of the Church cannot be known until it has the means
of inviting the whole nation to worship within its
sacred portrals ; nor until the means of offering this
unlimited invitation are given to; the Church will the
affluent among its members have adequately discharged
the duty which they owe to their country and to them-
selves.—Morning Post.

What a practical commentary upon the veracious
accounts of the Moniteur and the Queenite Journals,
both of Paris and London, is afforded by the fact that
the Carlist Chief Gomez—whose army and himself
have been so often cut to pieces and " annihilated "
in the columns of those journals—had been able to
enter Palencia on the 20th ult., and, after levying a
large contribution on the city, to pass into the province
of Burgos. It is true, the Gallant Espartero, who
had put him to the sword so often, was still in pursuit,
and while always keeping at a respectful distance, this
Spanish Bobadil will, no doubt, obtain fresh victories
on Taper, emulating his former fame when campaign-
ing against the Carlists in the North, where, according
to his own bombastic despatches,

" Thrice he routed all his foes,
And thrice he slew the slain."

Basilio Garcia, too, who more than once since his

entrance into Castile, has been, with his whole band,
made'' crows' meat," upon the authority of Queenite
Journals, has, it appears, escorted in safety to the
frontiers of Navarre the recruits and the immense booty
he had raised in Castile, and had returned into that

province, provoking once more the process of " anni-
hilation" of which one would have supposed he already
experienced quite enough. This is the Chief who, as
our readers may remember, not long before the out-
break of the, drunken soldiers, at the secret instigation
of the revolutionary conspirators behind the scenes, put
the Court of the Regent into a terrible panic, by tra-
versing the country within a few leagues of La Granja,
where the virtuous mother of the " innocent Isabel"
was then solacing herself from the fatigues and anxieties
of State in a way only that Cupid himself could describe
—the fitting historian of her " wise and vigorous Go-
vernment." On that occasion a precipitate and ludi-
crous flight of Grandees, Statesmen, and Military Chiefs,
took place to the capital ; but the brave Constitution-
alists, who are so courageous in the work of patriotic
assassination, did not march out to " annihilate" the
audacious Carlists, though there was no Cordova at
,La Granja to restrain their impetuous valour 1 Such
are the heroes who, according to their own account,
" drove the terrified eagles of Napoleon from the sa-
cred soil," leaving Wellington and his troops nothing
to do but to witness their
_admiral prowess and asto-
nishing exploits I Our readers have seen the more
than Royal proclamation of Sergeant Garcia, the mili-
iary:puppet of more crafty conspirators ; but who, in-
toxicAted by success, now evidently considers himself
the ii,:ster of those who employed him as their tool.
In th4proclamation all difference of political opinion
is pro, -bited, on pain of the Robespierrean process
of con' tion. The logic of the absolute Sergeant is
summ it is that which has always been employed
by su ful democrats to produce unity of opinion,
from , saniello to Marat. When employed by a
single `.''spot—a Nero or a Constantine, it is called
savage ? ".. abominable tyranny ; but when exercised
by bloo4. ; hirsty mobs and their leaders, it is only
a just d necessary means of enforcing " liberal
sentime " and putting down all opposition to
the glori cause of ,democratic freedom. One of
our Ma • Correspondents thus describes the " re-
generate, ondition of Spain, under the murderous
and plun ng system of the revolutionary brigands
who are at the head of affairs :—" The disorder
that now, ts in the financial affairs of this country
is such t , 'ts effects must be felt for several years to
come, at he systematic plunder exercised by the
Presiden nd Members of the Juntas has been a
hundred . c greater than that which took place this,
day twel ~ with. The nation is ruined—irremedia-
bly ruin. s, thanks to the financial operations of pa-
triotic M.'s sters, and the revolutionary schemes of the
emigrants f 1823. This state of things cannot last.
The. pres., t; system must fall before long ; but it is
horrible , d obliged to think that, previously to its
i
fall, the pr eht agitators in this country, convinced
that their r gh is to be short, will reduce the nation
to beggary, or deluge it in blood." Such is the de-
graded and demoralised Spain, into whose civil con-
tentions England has been dragged as a party by Lord
Palmerston and his "Whig colleagues, who proclaim
non-intervention as the Spanish revolutionists pro-
claim liberty, only to show how atrociously they can
violate it.— Morning Herald.

A letter from Berlin states that great alarm is
created in that city by the great number of suicides and assassi-
nations that have lately been committed there.
CAPTAIN IVIARRYAT'S NEW WORK, " MR.
MIDSHIPMAN EASY."—" Captain Marryat's writings* depend
for success on the truthfulness of the general impression they
make, their broad effects, their sustained humour, and the ra-
pidity with which incident follows incident. In the present
work the humorous subterfuges of Jack at Tetuan, his abduc-
tion of the Vice-Consul in disguise, and the cross purposes to
which he reduces the two ladies and their lovers, remind us of
those complex Spanish novels in which the interest consists of
a curious complication of mistakes and characters. The escape
of the gaily slaves, the burning of the house at Palermo, and
the adventures of Mesty, who is cleverly supported through-
out, and the Priest in the mountains, are each excellent, as in-
deed arc the numerous underplots and episodes that fill the
volumes. But we must refer to instead of extracting them."

Letters from different parts of Ireland speak of
arrangements being contemplated to introduce bone manure,
hitherto much neglected in that country, into use, on a grand
scale. Twenty bushels ground into dust are said to be the
proper quantity for each acre of land. Its effects are asto-
nishing—vegetation is quickened, and the young plant soon
gets into that state that it is no longer assailable by the de-
stroying fly. The expense of bone manure, mixed with other
manures which may be advantageously connected with it,
seems to be about one pound per cart-load. Large supplies of
bones, however, are now pouring in from abroad, and it is
more than suspected that some of our continental neighbours
scruple not to, sell bones of their " buried ancestors" to the
merchant. If such be the case, the supply is not likely soon
to fall off, and the price may be expected to decline ; but,
according to the views of experienced agriculturists, both in
Scotland and in England at present, the value of the article
is moderate.

Thomas Bates, who is now in Aylesbury gaol,
charged with the murder of Colonel Hanmer's gamekeeper,
has conducted himself in a way suiting his awful situation. He
spends best part of his time in praying and reading the Holy
Scriptures. The village of Heath and Reach is still in a
wdeeraethc;ircthuloat oneed most
as
state of great excitement owing to the vast number of idlers
who visit the spot where the murder was perpetrated. When

believed was, that he had destroyed himself—for since
he had the misfortune to kill his friend, who was out shooting
rabbits with him last autumn, his spirits have been deeply de-
pressed ; when the mangled body was discovered this report
died away. Any one seeing the wild spot where the piece of
the gun, which led to the apprehension of Bates, was found,
would say that there was truth in the old proverb of " murder
will out," for had the piece fallen among the fern no one could
have discovered it.
