PRESBYTERIANISM.---The Puseyites and all the
believers in apostolical descent, and the unsanctity
of sacraments administered by any other hands
than those 9fa priest ordained by a Bishop who
has derived grace from the Apostles, assert and
contend that Presbyterianism is no Church 'at
all. They are at direct variance with Mr. Car-
lyle, who thus speaks of Presbyterianism :
" But in our islands there arose a Puritanism
which even got itself established as a Presby-
terianism and national Church among the Scotch,
which came thrth as a real business of the heart,
and has produced in the world very notable
fruits. In some senses one may say it the
only phasis of Pi otestantism that ever got to the
rank of being a faith, a true-hearted communica-
tion with heaven, and of exhibiting itself in his-
tory as such." We take ;ides with Mr. Carlyle
so far as to pronounce that the Anglican Church
is, in this sense, no faith, no true-hearted com-
munication with heaven, but rather a " simul-
acre" which has no heart nor truth in it.
POST-OFFICE.—On the motion of Mr. Goul-
burn a return has been laid before the House of
Commons of the number of chargeable letters
which have passed through the London General
Post-office (inwards and outwards) since the first
general
reduction of Postage on the sth of De-
cember, 1839, dividing the time (as fir as prac-
ticable) into periods of four complete weeks each,
and distinguishing as regards each period the
unpaid, paid, and stamped, and total number of
letters ; also a similar return of the estimated
number of letters for the year immediately pre-
ceding the reduction. The following extracts
show the rate of increase since the 30th of
March, 1839 the four weeks ending on
that day the total number of letters which passed
through the General Post-office was 1,604,356.
On 'March 28th, 1840, the number had increased
to 3,372,667 ; and on the 27th of March, 1841, to
5,060,127. Under the old rate of postage the
number of paid letters was about one-sixth
part of the whole, while for the four weeks
ending Mat ch 27, 1841, the number of paid and
stamped letters was about eleven times as great
as that of the unpaid, the numbers being
4,624,739 paid letters, and 435,388 unpaid. For
the United Kingdom the total number of letters
including franks delivered in one week, ending
the 24th November, 1839, was 1,585,973, and in
the week ending the 22d November, 1840, it
was 3,456,115. The net revenue for the year
ending the sth January, 1839, was 1,659,5091.,
and for the year ending the sth January,
1841, 465,927/. The cost of management in
1839, was 756,9991., and in 1840, 903,677/.

THE PRESIDENT STEAM-SHIP.

441.
LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY NIGHT.—We regret again to be un-
able to give you any satisfactory intelligence of this vessel,
now thirty-eight days at sea. A great many ships from the
westward have reached our port since the last post for London,
none of which, however, bring any intelligence of the Presi-
dent. Amongst the number is the Maria, Collins, from St.
Michael's, who reports that nothing was known of her at Ter-
ceira on the 27th, at Fayal on the 28th of March, or at St.
Michael's on the 2d inst. The probability, therefore, of her
beirg at the Western bland, is much diminishedby this arrival.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
LATEST BETTING AT MANCHESTER—FainAv.
THE CHESTER. CUP. —lt was a very close run at noon for
the premiership ; 11 to 1 was freely offered on the field, and
12 to 1 agst Gallipot. However, before leaving, we noticed
60 to 5 booked twice v. Gallipot; and immediately after 12 to
1 was offered v. The Plover; thus, in our opinion, Colonel
Cradock's horse is entitled to " the call." Tubaleain presses
both so nearly, that probably before the sun rises to-morrow he
will be. made first favourite. We noticed one or two gentle-
men in the room from the banks of the Mersey. One appeared
much disposed to" get on" Prince Caradoc for the Derby, 14
to I was the outside figure. By the other, Tuly and Cowboy
would both have been backed pretty freely, had not the layers
hung fire.
We subjoin the prices as near as we could make them out :

BELGIUM.
BRUSSELS, APRIL 17.—The Prince de Joinville arrived at
Brussels yesterday with one of his aides-de-eamp.
Yesterday his Majesty presided in the Council of Ministers.
Count Lealaing, our Charge d'Affaires at Madrid, has ten-
dered his resignation.
Captain John Prissick, formerly Admiral of the Fgyptian
fleet of Mehemet Ali, died yesterday at Schaerbiek, at the age
of forty-nine years. He was one of the bravest officers of the
English navy, esteemed for his private virtue as much as for
his military courage.
The Moniteur of to-day says—" Several journals have stated
that the troops of the garrison were ordered to remain in
their barracks during the evening of the 14th. We are autho-
rised to declare that this assertion is wholly destitute of foun-
dation."

A letter from Durfieldorf of April 10, says—" The iron
railroad between this and Elberfield is so far advanced that the
locomotive was tried to-day, on the first section, from Erkrath
to Frohwinkel, which it is probable will soon be open to the
public. It is thought the whole line to Elberfeld will be open
in a few weeks."
