fore to which he has been raised on the present
occasion may be considered as the due tribute of
gratitude and justice on the part of his fellow
Citizens, and there can belittle doubt that his
official, conduct will fully justify their respect for,
his talents, their sense of his services, and their
confidence in-his consistency.

The communication in our present Paper from
the younger Mr. OWEN of New Lanark, with
its accompanying documents, seems to us to set
completely at rest the question between Mr.
OWEN and the Lanark Presbytery, as to whether

the Scriptures and the Kiri: Catechism are
or are not taught, and sufficiently taught,
in the New Lanark Schools. Our Readers
are aware that we are sincere advocates for

the adoption of Mr. OWEN'S practical plans for
the employment, and for the education and moral
training of the, working classes and of the poor,
. because we are convinced that his projected ar-
rangements offer . a new and enlarged basis, on
which the security and. happiness of the la-
bouring population, and a vast increase of
prosperity to society at large; and to the
state, may be certainly, safely, and permanently
constructed. We are therefore glad to find
that Mr. OWEN IS so completely- exculpated from
the serious charge brought against him, of having,
by the arbitrary exercise of his authority, endea-
voured to prevent the religious instruction of
the children in his establishment. But even
if that aarge had. been well, founded, it
is obvious that. it could have formed no real
objection to the adoption of Mr. OwEN'SiirOpo-
sitions ; for although 1w might have thought pro;
per to exclude, religious instruction from the
single establishment which is in his own hands,,,
surely the founders of the other institutions,
to be formed -on his practical arrangements
for giving efficient, employment and education,
would not necessarily be obliged to follow
his example in this respect, but would be and
are at perfect liberty 'to combine religious in-
struction with the other benefits and, ad-
vantages intended to be conferred on the
new villagers. The whole of the contro-
versy which has arisen on this subject appears
to us to he quite irrelevant to the princi-,
pal or rather the real, question, inasmuch as it re-
lates, not to the efficacy or inefficacy of Mr.
OWEN'S plans to accomplish their proposed ob-
jects, but to Mr. OW EN'S personal character, and
to his persfmal practice, which are comparatively
of no importance. In expressing our satisfaction
at Mr. ONVENS' exculpation, therefore, We wish
it ,to, be, understood that it. is for the sake
of , his owfl character, and not for that of
his plans, which- can in no way be pro-
muted or prejudiced by the mere co;isi-
iteration of, his individual merits or demerits.
—Mr. OwEN we begive' :to be a good. man
and a really disinteiested philanthropist.--

evils of human life from society.

sod St. Petersburgh, Sept: 6 :—" A terrible conflagration ties
nearly wholly destroyed the town. of Sarepta : not more than
one quarter part of the buildings has escaped the ravages of
the &mei.. A. similar fate has also befallen the town of An,
some, on the route to Astrachan, where, at the same tittle,' a
large caravan of inerchandice fell a sacrifice to the raging de-
ment. —With regard to the trade of the Capital, there has been
a good deal of briskness of late:- Several American ships have
