CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE EVANGELICAL VOLUNTARY
CHURCH ASSOCIATION AND THE CHRISTIAN INFLUENCE

SOCIETY.

Bedwell Park, Hatfield, March 2, 1840.
Sir,—l have the pleasure to transmit to you the annexed
Resolutions, to which I shall be obliged by receiving as
early a reply as possible.
Trusting that all our discussions may be so conducted as
to conduce to the glory of God and salvation of men,
I am, Sir, your faithful servant,
CULLING EARDLEY SMITH.
To the Chairman of the Christian
Influence Society.
(ENCLOSURE.)
At a Meeting of the Committee of the Evangelical Vo-
luntary Church Association, held 2d March, 1840, Sir
Culling Eardley Smith, 13.;rt., in the Chair, the following
Resolutions were agreed to :
This Committee having learned with great satisfaction
that the Christian Influence Society have determined again
to bring the subject of State Establishments of Religion
before the attention of the public, in a forthcoming course
of Lectures,
Resolved,—That a communication be made from this
Committee to the Christian Influence Society, suggesting
to them the desircableness of a Public Meeting for the
discussion, in a fair, open, and Christian manner, of the
question of State Establishments of religion, by one, two,
or three individuals on each side ; the convenience of both
parties being consulted, and the expenses equally shared
between them.

..........,.....„....
Resolved,--That the Chairman do immediately transtnit
this Resolution to the Chairman of the Christian In-
fluence Society.

Old Broad-street, 9th March, 1840.
Sir,—l have received and laid before the Committee of
the Christian Influence Society your letter of the tad
inst., with the resolutiins annexed to it; and beg to in-
form you that it appears to the Committee that the plan
already adopted by them, in arranging for the delivery of
successive courses of lecture, deliberately composed and
subsequently printed, is that best calculated for the ad-
vancement of the cause of Divine truth.

I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your very obedient servant,
A. GORDON, Hon. Secretary.
Sir Culling Eardley Smith, Bart,

We can now state that a Lecture on the Voluntary
Principle will be delivered by the Rev. G. Redford, D. D.
and LL.D., Minister of a Voluntary Church at Wor-
cester, on Wednesday, the 25th inst., at Freemasons'
Wall. We understand that his Royal Highness the Duke
of Sussex has signified his intention of being present.
Strongly as we have been impressed with the amiable
and candid tone of Mr. M'Neil's lectures, our sincere re.,
spect for the individual must not prevent us front saying
how deeply we regret that such a man should have misw-
presented as he has done (unintentionally, we are rured
the meaning of Scripture. We rejoice, therefore, flat the
Voluntary Church Association have determined not to al-
low a day to elapse after the conclusion of Mr. M'Neil's
series, without vindicating the truth of Goa, and placing
before the public what they deem to be right and scriptural
views on the subje A of National Establishments.
As it will be impossible, at so short an interval, for Dr.
Redford to undertake a formal answer to Mr. M'Neil, We
believe it will be very shortly in our power to announce
that one or more further lectures will be delivered in direct
,
reply to that gentleman. For the present, the treucheg
will be opened on Wednesday 1
Or rather, might we not say, a flag of truce will beset
out? For such is our view of the question. It is 011'11
incidentally that our principles are hostile to any se`.
of men, or rather to any class of principles. Our direct
aim is the reconciliation of Christians, and the restoration
of the purity of the Church of Christ—" peace on earth
and good-will towards men." If in order to attain these,
and in obedience to the great Head of the Church, it be
necessary to assail an existing system, we ought not, we
trust we shall not, be accused of mainly desiring the sub-
version of what is dear to others. We wish to subvert,
only because we wish to establish. We desire peace--
but it must not be a hollow one. It must be founded on
truth. We wish to be peaceable,—but we must have
purity first.

We earnestly hope that the attendance of persons who
occupy influential stations may be numerous. No °ne
will be in the slightest degree implicated by attending'
We have ourselves attended Mr. M.Neil's Lectures with-
out feeling that we at all committed ourselves to an aPPrt
bation of his principles; and it will be well that those who
are constantly called upon to legislate upon questions more
or less connected with this great discussion, should know,
if only as a matter of fact, what are the views really en-
tertained by voluntaries.

.
In the meantime we would shortly state,
I. That the ruling motive of voluntaries is the desire
that the Bible should be obeyed. They believe that Es-
tablishments involve disobedience to God.
.. if a
2. That voluntaries do not contemplate touching
hair of the head" of a single vested right. In all their
arguments they presuppose that every life-interest Will be
preserved, and every patron compensated.

FUNERAL OF JOHN TEMPLEMAN.--(This
day. )—This morning, at a quarter before seven o'clock, tbeis
mortal remains of this unfortunate man were removed fronl
late residence for interment in the new burial-ground belon6
ing to the Chapel of Ease to St. Mary's Church, Isling;
situate a short distance from the Holloway-road. The infer•
ment at so early an hour was arranged for the purpose of Pr:d-
venting a crowd assembling. The grandson of the decease
was chief mourner.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.--It appears that MT.
Beale's proposition was 3,700/. Upon a calculation lately made,
it seems that 5,0001. a year will only yield to the shareholders
(after paying the ground-rent, taxes, and other unavoidable ea-
penses) the poor dividend of about sd. per night. They are,
by arrangement made some years since, entitled to is. 3d. rr
night, each night the theatre remains open. This even n"
reduction from the original dividend; for in the high an/
palmy days" of the drama, when Elliston paid his 10,00.
a year, and for years after the erection of the present theatre,
they invariably received 2s. 6d. per night.
COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.-MISS IVbrita.
gue, who, it will be recollected, recently appeared at Drerht
u
lane in Juliet, played that part at this theatre last night'
Having before expressed our opinion of her merits, we "
now only to observe that we are confirmed in the correetner
the place which we assigned her. Her deficiencies are suell_!.
time and practice will supply, while her great natural ear's
tares require nothing but the aid of study to secure to her
distinguished position on the stage. We think her infill' e
more successful in the gentler than in the more storMY an
tragic scenes.
