REYNOLDS IN THE CASE OF THE MATCHLESS.

This was the case of an appeal from the Vice-Admiralty Court
of Newfoundland, which had condemned the Matchless"
schooner from Halifax, as having on board corn, flour, and other
goods, under the management and controul of one-Chiever, a
subject of the United-States, in the character, as was contended,
of factor. It was admitted that the latter was an alien born,
but it was asserted that the cargo and vessel were the property
of British subjects, that the consignor and consignee were Bri-
tish, and that Chiever was merely a supercargo. The chief
point Was the real character of Chiever, and whether he was a
factor within the meaning of the different Acts for regulating
our colonial trade.

Lord STOWELL intimated that he should take time to con
cider his judgment.

DISGRACEFUL TRANSFER.—A fellow of Not-
tingham, wearing his MAJESTY'S uniform, on
Saturday last, delivered his wife (a decent look-
ing woman) with a halter round her arm, to a
man dressed in a smock frock, who had previously
agreed to give the vender ss. for his goods, and
paid the purchase money on delivery. The trans-
action took place in the open market-place of
that town.

A man, whose real name appears to be John
Harris, and who turns out to be a deserterfrom the 2d regiment
of Foot, was apprehended in a street row on Monday night at
Leeds, by the watch. Harris was disguised in the dress of a
gamekeeper. The Captain foun'd upon him a valuable diamond
ring, a 101. bank-note, and silver; he then called himself John
White. The accoun t being unsatisfactory he was detained, and the
following day led to his identity and the discovery of 93 sove-
reigns which he had deposited in the hands of a person that was
known to him. He has since admitted that he was a servant
to Lieut.-Col. be Burg, the gentleman wha no doubt has been
robbed by him, of the 2d Foot, whom he left abruptly about
a fortnight ago, 'at his house, 23, Chapel-street, Grosvenor:
place, London.—( Lineoln Gazette.) .

The scarlet fever is still raging 'very severely
in Brechin and its neighbourhood, particularly among the
young. Last week three of one family died of that malignant
disease, within a few days of each other.

FOR THE SUN.

BIBLE ASSOCIATION.

MIL EDlTOR—Omitting all discussion as to the
truth or inaccuracy of your late Correspondent's
statement respecting this Institution, in his master-
ly critique, or review of Mr. NORRIS'S Work, I beg
permission to state• that he has committed a-gross
error in his zeal for the welfare of the Esta-
blished Church, in an attack upon a private in-
dividual, whom he unhesitatingly pronounces to
be a Calvinist ; I mean Dr. 0. Gregory. Now,
Sir, I will venture to affirm, that the Author of
the Article to which I have alluded, knows no-
thing whatever of the Gentleman whom I have men-
tioned; and, moreover, that be never opened
any religious Work of which that individual was
the author. But, I imagine, that it is only from an
inspection of these works that a correct statement

of his principles can be made; such, I appre-
hend are the regular criteria by which we are
to judge of individuals who present themselves,
or are presented by others to the notice of the
Public. Yet your candid and manly corre-
spondent has been content, I think, to take the
rumours which malice or envy have spread abroad,
without troubling himself any further in the mat-
ter, than as the introduction of a name or
two into his well-selected and made-up
article, might give an air of importance to it,
which otherwise were they omitted, nothing
worthy of attention would remain in it ; the
whole of it being composed of materials which your
Paper presented for his judgment some weeks ago.
It happens that I am not one of those who take
every thing as fact upon hearsay, or think myself's()
delicately minded, that I shall be warped in my
principles by the perusal of any work upon the
subject of religion, which may happen to be pub-
lished. Among others, I have had the satisfac-
tion of reading Dr. Gregory's Letters on the
Christian Religion, from which, I subjoin an ex-
tract :

" I have not argued, nor will I argue, exclu-
sively in favour of Calvinism, or Arminianism,
or Methodism or any set of opinions of human

fabrication ; but shall endeavour to attain that
middle point, where all that is good in either
seems to meet, and all that is excevionable to be
excluded ; and therefore, shall defend those sen-
timents and doctrines which are so clearly con-
tained in the Bible, that none deny them who are
not in consequence compelled to give up the au-
thority of some parts of Sacred Writ, which were
held and taught by the ablest and best men in
the three first centuries—which warmed the
breasts of saints and martyrs,—which have in-
spired the hopes and regulated the conduct
of a great majority of pious men in all ages of
the universal Church, which, through the provi-
dence of GOD, have been inserted in the formu-
laries of most established Churches, and which,
if language have a plain and obvious interpreta-
tion, are defined in the Articles, incorporated in
the Ritual, and enforced in the Homilies of the
Church of England." And in further illustra-

tion of the principles of this individual, he has
added the note, which now follows, " Let it be
observed that when the Rernonstrants assert that
Christ died for all mankind, merely to purchase
conditional salvation for them, and when those
who profess to be the strictest Calvinists assert

that Christ died only and merely to procure ef-
fectual pardon and salvation for the elect ; it is
not because the whole Scripture every where ex-
pressly or plainly reveals or asserts the particular
sentiments of either of these sects, with an exclu-
sion of the other, but the reason of these diffe-
re'nt assertions of men is this, that the Holy
Writers in different texts, pursuing different sub-
jects, and speaking to different persons, some-
times seem to favour each of these two opinions ;
and men, being at a loss to reconcile these by
any medium, run into different extremes, and en-
tirely follow one of these tracks of thought and
neglect the other. But, surely, if there can
be found a way to reconcile these two doc-

trines of the absolute salvation of the elect, by
the.obedience, righteousness, and death of Christ,
procuring it for them, with all things necessary to

the possession of it; and also of the conditional
salvation provided for all mankind, and offered
to them in the Gospel, through the all-sufficient
and overflowing value of, the obedience and suf-
ferings of Christ; this will be the most fair, natural,
and easy way of reconciling these differenCtexts
of Scripture, without any strain or torture put
upon any of them."—Dr. Watts.
In the Preface to the 'Work Dr. G. has said—
" I have therefore entered pretty much at large
into the establishment and defence of the leading
doctrines which distinguish Christianity from
all other religious systems. In the 'choice of
these ',have kept almost entirely out of sight
the higher points which separate the Armenians
from the Calvanists ; while I have attempted to
illustrate and cafirm, as essential, those grand
doctrines in which both Armenians and Calvinists,
and, indeed, the great majority of
,Christians,
differ from the Socinians. The truth is, that
upon most of the questions which have long di-
vided, and still continue to agitate, the Christian
world, my mind is nearly in a perfect state of
neutrality ; so that I cannot bring myself to
attach much importance to any question which
is not .•bviously favourable or unfavourable in

its moral tendencies or which does not appear to
me fundamental, that is, which does not in some
way affect the grand doctrine of man's redemp-
tion through the crucifixion of " the Soh of
God," with all Christians who in this respect
" hold the head" and live conformably to the
doctrine they profess, however they may be se-
parated upon minor topics, I am anxious to main-
tain and long to see universally prevail " the
unity of the. Spirit 'in the bond of peace." If
such is the language of a Calvinist, Mr. Editor,
I confess, I do not know who can be e:tcluded
from the accusation, if possessing the same, con-
ciliating and christian-like sentiments, constitutes

such a theractee: Believe trte,' Mr. Eclidt°r/.theist
time is not far distant, indeed, I think it nOWary
when the folly of placarding over the Sanctuous
of the Established Church, " Be not righte.ous
overmuch," will be too manifest : the licentil nf
will eagerly (and how lately have we heara;
their doing so) carry it beyond its nleaning?.--1.
a total dereliction of every Christian
It is to be regretted that there are writers h

have vanity and impudence enough to foist t e ,
selves into notice, under the false pretence ft
criticising the work of others : who too barren in
their own minds, desire to engraft a_slender re:

foolishly imagine they have summed up the mat'
ter with the acumen of an old and experienced
