Smith have been most assiduous in their labours, 00'
thing daunting them, especially Mr. Acland, who ball
rendered invaluable services, In addition to the nightlY
meetings in the Dragon room, a series of similar facet'
ings arc being got up in the suburbs, which arc

extensive, thereby precluding many from being able or."
veniently to attend the former. from these meeting
we anticipate a vast amount of good to flow, knorcid
that a considerable number of manufaeturei.s reside:oo
these districts, who, by having the question plainly anu
honestly discussed before them, and the respec Live we'

PUSEYISM.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. co
Sts,—lt appears to me worth while to take Oil,
of a remark in Mr. Gladstcne's last letter to the e 7„
tors of Walsall, which is to the effect, " that the A%
Corn-law League were making unwarrantable quota
from the Bible in ort of their vises.
Mr. Gladstone,zupp in speaking thus, s:"ere's to forges
that the doctrines of the Oxford Tract and pulled
party are not, as yet, so universally r.cAved And %cli
upon, that this opinion of his can have' re,4o
weight. Things are not already come to such a ty,
that people must inquire of Mr. Gladstone what til°lte
tions from the Bible are warrantable or otherwise. too
cording to his notions, they ate, I presume, expects fit,
wait for the approbation of Church authority, he ,
they can even venture to quote from the Bible set:1111:f
sages as shall appear to suittheir purpose ; in thesatne
es they are also required by hiel to accePt
interpretation of its meaning solely from the p,
hands. But until that despotic power is' ,acknowledill

I cannot help thinking that the public are p1ace,,,,4
a most embarrassing position in respect to the 54'01}

The electors of Walsall will, doubt!ess, con.sl'h;
the Anti-Corn-law agitators have as much "15/
