RELIGION mid HER NAME. A Metrical
Tract, with Notes.
By JOHN SEARCH,
" Shall men love freedom, and not dare to think ?
Love Truth—nor dare her footsteps to explore ?
Love God—nor claim their birth-right, link by link
To trace each proof—each sign—each record, o'er,
Proffrr'd b' man as tokens to adore
In them His hallow'd will 7—shall freedom guard
Her earthly dross, and yet men's spirit soar
To God, by Statesmen's law, and Priests'award,
From question, doubt, or search, by policy debarr'd ?"

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec-
tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either
altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
difference, by the ordinary practitioner. To enter into the
details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to
mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical,
which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits,
would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have
no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of
society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe-
ther we consider such person to hold the relation et a PA-
RENT, a PRECEPTOR. or a CLERGYMAN.
Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their
residence, No.. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and
Five ill Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re-
quested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their cases,
—as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge-
neral habits of hying, and occupation in life of the party ; the
communication must be accompanied by the " usual Consulta-
tion Fee of 11.," without which no notice whatever can be
, taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable
secrecy may be relied en.

GRIMSTONE'S EYE SNUFF.—Under the
Patronage of his late Majesty, liPr Royal Highness the
Duchess of Kent, and the Lords of the Treasury, is universally
recommended by the Faculty for its efficacy in removing Cs-
orders incident to the Eyes and Head.
SIGHT RESTORED !—NERVOUS HEAD-ACHE
AND DEAFNESS CURED !
By the most simple, delightful, and fragrant Compound!
Its mode of application is fraught with pleasure ; many thou-
sand cures have been accomplished by its use, at a trifling ex-
pense, yet certain in its operation. If testimonies be necessary
to induce the sufferer to make trial, Kings, Lords, and Com-
mons have used it. The Lords of the Treasury have sanctioned
its use. Their late Majesties, the Duchess of Kent, the most
eminent Oculists, Medical Practitioners—with that gigantic
balance, the Press—have eulogised Grimstono's celebrated
Herbaceous Compound, known as " Grimstone's Eye Snuff,"
for its efficacy in removing all diseases incident to the Eyes and
Head. G. J. Guthrie, Esq., F. R. S. See J. B. Lachfield,
Esq.'s Letter, Whitehall. Dr. Thomas. Dr. Andrews calls
it a national blessing—see his Reports touching its utility. The
late Mr. Abernethy, with many others, recommend Grim-
stone's Eye Snuff, and call it " Man's best Friend," and the
" Student's Vade Mecum."—See the many thousand Letters
of Testimonies, of undoubted medical authority, with others of

inquired if I bad tried your Eye-Snuff, en which I purchased
a is. 3d. Canister, opened it in the shop—took some, Ora was
greatly relieved b4ore I reached my home. I car. with truth
assert, and make oath if required to do so, that it was your Eye-
Snuff cured me. Shal be happy to answer any inquiry.
I am, Sir, yours gratefully,

The County is the only Fire Office which has constantly
made Returns to its Members, and for a long series of years.
These Returns have varied from 10 to 25 per cent. and have
amounted to upwards of 100,0001.
In the Life Office, nearly the whole of the profits are divided
among the parties insured. Their effect may be judged of
from a Policy taken out by his late Majesty on his own life
for 3,0001., which additions increased to 3,9631.
Upwards of thirty Insurance Offices having been broken up
within a few years, and about fifty new ones having been pro-
jected within the last two or three years, it may be necessary
to observe, that all the substantial advantages promised by such
new Offices have been long realised under the plans and ma-
nagement of the Provident Life Office.

THE REV. MR. M,KERROW ON
THE REPEAL OF THE CORN-LAWS.

[The following is a fuller report of the Rev. Gentle-
man's excellent speech at Manchester than appeared in
The Sun yesterday. A Correspondent, referring to this
address, observes, " Had you been preent to witness
the effect produced on the meeting by this address, I
know you would have required no solicitation to give it
publicity in your valuable columns. Even the Chartists
(who, up to the time of Mr. M'Kerrew's speaking, had
conducted themselves in the most noisy and indecorous
manner) were evidently silenced and captivated by the
eloquence and force, the truth and genuine Christian
tone of the Rev. Gentleman's appeal, for they not only
listened with attention but frequently applauded the
speech during its delivery.")
The Rev. Mr. M'Kettaow, on coming forward to
second the resolution, was received with much applause,
He said he had been alwae s the friend of the people ;
and he appealed to the justice and generos;ty of the
people in his own behalf, and on behalf of the Dissenting
ministers now present, for a candid and patient hearing.
—(Hear, bear.) He had risen to identify himself with
the Anti-Corn-law movement, and to support the reso-
lution which had been so ably advocated by his friend,
Mr. Cobden. When he had received the invitation to
attend the meeting, he did not for a moment hesitate to
comply. He was one of those who, having principles,
was not ashamed to avow them ; he would not entertain
principles that be did not think worthy of support, advo-
cacy, and extension.—(Applause.) When ministers of
the Gospel appeared at any other meetings than those of
bible and missionary societies, and other institutions of
a similar character, there were always some of tae timid
and time serving of their own party, as well as the in-
veterate of other views, who accused them of political
agitation.—( Hear.) No man of conscience and spirit,
however, would regard such reports ; for himself, he
never heeded them ; they passed by him as the idle
wind which he regarded not.—(Appl sine.) He would
freely admit that they who ministered in holy things
should keep themselves as much aloof as possible from
mere party conflicts, and from those needless discussions
which frequently arose about Parliamentary Bills and
Parliamentary men. But he asserted that when any
great and important question was to be considered, any
question affecting the welfare of the country, the inte•
rests of the labouring poor, the rights of conscience, or
the progress of the Gospel, every minister of that Gos-
pel was bound to come forward to avow his sentiments,
and to give his aid in behalf of truth, equity, mercy, free-
dom, and happiness.—( Applause.) It mattered nut to
him what appellation men might give to such questions
as that on which they were assembled, whether they
called them political or religious : he was satisfied that
many great political movements of the present day were
intimately connected with the interests of religion ; and he
was sorry to think that the interference of the State with
the province of religion had made many of these ques-
tions appear more political than they onght to have been.
Let their nature or names be what they might, he should
never he deterred by the charge of interineddling with
the politics of the world from coming forward ; he should
never be deterred from asserting his rights ; he should
never consider it as his duty to forego his claims as a
ct;zen, end to be regardless of his temporal interest as
a member of the family of man. He was required by
no law or reason to be regardless of the physical condi-
tion of his family, his neighbours, or of mankind at large.
Hence, had he considered this question merely a politi-
cal one, and not having anything of a religious aspect,
he should have deemed it his duty, on account of the
imp(); tance he attached to it in a temporal point of view,
to be present, and to vindicate his right to he there.
He was satisfied that the Corn-law question was a most
momentous one, that tho Corn-laws were not unjust in
their nature, but most ruinous in their operations and
results. He did riot say that these laws were the only
cause of the existing evil ; there were many grievances
which they all felt ; but they were met there for a special
purpose ;
• and he was satisfied that the Corn-laws were
the great fountain-head of the evil, and that to them
might be traced up many a dark stream of physical and
moral evil, which was now flowing throughout our land.
He would not stay to argue the question ; for he took
it for granted that all must agree with him, whatever
little differences of opinion might exist on other matters.
His friend, Mr. Cobden, had, he thought, proved his
case. Commercial arguments and statements I.e should
leave to be dealt with by commercial men ; but he would
bring before them the religious aspect of the question.
He held that the law by which the sepply of food and
the demand for labour were restricted, was condemned
by every principle of religion, whether natural or re-
vealed. It was at variance with the requirement of
equity; for why should the few be enriched and pam-
pered at the cost of the toils, the wants, and the suffer-
ings of the many?—(Applause.) It was at variance
with the progress of moral and intellectual elevation and
importance ; for we frequently found that poverty was
the parent of crime ; and how was it to be expected
that they who were constantly beaten down and re-
pressed, should cultivate the means of growing in know-
ledge, religion, and virtue ? It was at variance with
the &dates of the divine word ; for it was said—
" Blessed be he that cansidereth the cries of the poor ;"
and again—" He that withholdeth corn the people shall
curse him." It was at variance with the whole genius,
design, and tendency of Christianity ; for the very es-
sence of the gospel was not only " glory to God in
the highest," but " peace on earth, and good-will to
men."—(Applause.) If, then, there were anything
religious in these matters, he certainly thought that
religious men were bound to identify themselves with
such a movement as that. He was confident that
the Corn-laws were opposed by all the intimations
which we had, both from nature and Scriptures, of the
good pleasure and purposes of Heaven. It was the
will of God who had made of one flesh and blood all
the nations of men to dwell on the face of the earth,
that they should maintain friendly intercourse with
one another ; but the Corn-law forbade it. It was
die will of God, who had given to the different coun-
tries of the earth different kinds of soil and productions,
that they should interchange their respective corn-
mod:ties, and thus promote each other's mutual com-
fort, and the individual advantage of all ; but the
Corn law forbade it.—( Hear, hear.) It was the will
of God, who had revealed himself as a God of peace,
that war should be turned into peace from one end of
the earth to the other, and that nations should form
those mutual dependencies which would render it im-
possible that the strife and bloodshed of the battle field
should be exhibited, but cause to prevail over all the
earth a spirit of mutual affection ; but the Corn-law
forbade it.—( Applause.) It was the will of God, who
had lavished on this world so much of beauty and
luxuriance, and had opened up to us all, in the diver-
sifying scenes of nature, numberless sources of enjoy-
ment, that all should enjoy happiness ; but the Corn-
law forbade it.—(Applause.) Holding these sentiments,
he had deemed it his duty to come forward and avow
them. He had no sympathy with the religion of cant
and hypocrisy— (Cheers) with the religion that
showed itself in merely singing psalms and in attend-
ing meetings--(Hoar, hear)—ho had no sympathy
with religion that manifested itself only in bodily ser-
vice, which profited little, and in occasional and scanty
almsgiving, extended to the poor and needy.—(Ap-
plause.) The religion he professed was the religion
of that Bible which taught him to do good unto all
men as he found opportunity ; and he contended that
he far better obeyed the Divine precept by endeavouring
to remove a very serious evil, and thus enable his bre-
thren the better to provide for their temporal wants,
than by merely extending to them a little transitory
pecuniary aid, which left all their sufferings as strong,
and severe, and unmitigated as ever. Therefore, whilst
he held that it was his duty to feed the hungry, he
held also that he ought to try to enable the hungry
to feed themselves, and to procure for themselves
those comforts and enjoyments which the God of Nature
had intended them to realize.—(Applause.) Let them
work for themselves, and they would be kept from
crime ; let them work for themselves, and they would
rise in tho scale of moral and intellectual elevation-
But all this was contrary to the strain and spirit ofd ti
Corn•laws as now existing. Were be not afraid of
trespassing too much upon their time—(" Go on, go
on," from all parts of the meeting)—he would just ad-
vert to another matter which seemed to him to be very
important—another religious aspect of the question.
Unless labour were obtained, and unless labour were
productive, how were our benevolent and religious insti-
tutions to be supported ? How were they to be sup-
ported, especially among Dissenting congregations, who
recognised the voluntary principle as the only scriptural
principle, as the only just princTle ? They maintained
their own church, and their own forms of worship, by
the voluntary contributions of their people ; and they
had been enabled to spread the knowledge and influence
of the gospel to far distant nations of the earth. They
had done not a little in this way. They had not amongst
them the wearers of the mitre and the coronet ; they had
not many rich, save those who were rich in faith and
good works ; not many noble, save those who were noble
in mind, in enterprise, arid activity—(applause)—and
therefore, it was likely that the pressure. of these
evil
times would bear more especially on their religio.us in-
stitutions. Why was it that so many benevolent and
religious institutions in the manufacturing and co.mme.r-
cial districts more especially were st.ruggling..with dif-
ficulty ? Why was it, he would ask his good friend Mr.
Hadfield, that, at the present time, the
.fu.ncl.s of the
London Missionary Society had been diminishing ? It
bread was dear, and
was because labour wag scarce,
tnoso who had I:ttle property could not afford to be so
liberal as they would wish to be, and as they had been ;
and because the poor man, wh r o ,elt an interest in the

TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.
The Derby betting yesterday afternoon was kept up with
great spirit until after the usual time of closing, and was pro.
ductive of some highly-important changes. The chief fa-
vourite, Coronation, was backed for between two and three
hundred pounds at, and for at least four hundred more at 10 to
1, having a very slight call of the Rosalie colt, about whom
11 to 1 was taken in two or three quarters. Eringo had one
backer, we belie .e, in the early part of the afternoon, at 14 to
1, which after went begging. The grand movement of
the day, however, was in Scott's lot, some of whom were
tried at the latter part of last week. Van Amburgh opened
at 40, and in a short time reached 25 to 1, and had so many
friends even at that improved quotation, that we can-
not venture to quote his last price at more than
23 to 1. This advance would have lel us to infer that he was
the nag, had it not been for the eagerness shown to back The
Knight of the Whistle and Marshal Soult ; the first was backed
in conjunction with Van Amburgh at 11 to 1 ; and, judging
from the final offers against him, which did not exceed 20 to f,
was the better favourite ; the Marshal had a powerful supporter
at 25 to 1, which must have been taken to three or four hun-
dred pounds ; three points more were laid once, in ponies, but
at the finish no offer exceeded the odds at which he was first
backed. The Duke of Wellington, instead of suffering frem
these movements, found favour at 30 to Ito 1001. Ralph im-
proved slightly on last week's betting, but neither Palmmon
Prince Caladoc, or Cameleon, were in demand. Several other
horses were backed, but beyond an improvement ha Knights-
bridge there was nothing worth dilating on.

THE OAKS.
A death-blow was given to the backers of Kedge by an an-
nouncement from her owner, T. 0. Powlett, Esq., that she
had met with an accident on Saturday morning, which left
little chance even of her surviving. It was said that she had
broken her back.
