THE EPISCOPAL PRIESTHOOD.

If the Church have any principle at all, as exhibited by the
conduct of the Clergy and their panegyrists, that principle
assuredly is involved in the words " pelf and self." For
Mammon and the things of this earth, how many of the Clergf,
show that they are willing to sacrifice the best interests 0.!
society, and at the same time actually to sell themselves as !:
were, to man's enemy I We meet daily with evidence of tle.
sort of clerical criminality. Almost every Newspaper that is
published contains matter illustrative of the craft and dis-
honesty, which men now are accustamed to regard as charac-
teristics of the Establishment, whilst nearly every public do.
current either is in itself or gives rise to some strong an
damning proof of its inveterate vices. We are, therefore, net
at all surprised to see the Parson=, particularly in country
towns, where their srvey is less controlled by public
opinion.. than in larger districts, stirring heaven and
bring into contempt the Acts for registering Births, Nlarria.ges,
&c. The practice of the hyper:Veal Parsons is, we
to borrow the columns of the Tory paper, circulating in t
neighbourhood of the victim whom it is intended to sacrifice on
the altar of orthodoxy, and publicly to anathematise any indi-
vidual whose religious feelings lead him to take refuge in the
registrar's office, for the purpose of contracting 1115;:,

of repeated outrages of the detestable description to whi.n.

to a flagrant instance, where, only a week ago, the privacY

ever, be assured that attempts to vilify the good and conscicn;

run their length in this way. It is plain to every man wb°

the popular call for a reform in Parliament.

SUCCESS Ole SHIPPING COMPANIES IN Ilit
NORTH OF ENOLAND.—The first Company established in th
port of Stockton was called the Union Shipping Company
It was formed in 1822, and at its commencement the capita,.
was small, but is now 12,0001. This Company has paid 50 Pe;
cent, for the three years ending December, 1835, being on aa
average 162 per cent., notwithstanding the loss of a ve!!,
which has been replaced. The second was established in 176
and called the Commercial Shipping Company, and in a l'`„
from the Manager, dated January 20th, 1835, the folloW11;
passage occurs :—" The Committee have great pleasure jeii
stating to the proprietors that the profits have exel
their expectations. The amount of the siAscribed capita la'
2,9251., whereof 2,0151, has been invested in three veaseol
which have made fourteen voyages, and cleared the sutlL,„

they have been employed, averaging about five months:
Since this.note was written the capital has increased to 12,000.120

presented by the Directors, together with an abstract of

passed as follows:—" That the abstract of the accourat.rt

profits within one month ; and that the further tara.rat

date these Companies were scarcely formed., and yet ea,..e",,e,
them had paid about 17 to 21i per cent... in fact, the
