is making such great claims on the nation, it seems
proper to place these inconsistences Lefore the
public. Either faith, wonder, and worship, are
not, as the Quarterly Reviewer says, the natural
and necessary results .of mystery, or the Church
which pretends to promote worship, excite wonder,
and inspire faith by claiming a perfect knowledge,
which puts an end to mystery, is an impostor.

nutest form, in its leaves and insects, and petty
movements and humblest shadows, even in its most
degraded creatures, as a deep and awful mystery,
before which there is no place for arrogance
or conceit— where he who sees nothing but
the exterior is little better than an idiot,
and he who pierces most deeply sees the
darkest depths beyond. Once make the hu-
man being feel that there is more in things
around than he can understand or penetrate, and
he will acknowledge a mystery. With mystery will
come the sense of his own weakness, humility, and
self-distrust, and the still better conciousness of the
presence of a greater Power. Then follows ne-
cessarily faith, for, in the midst of doubt and dark-
ness, man cannot live without faith. If he has no
ground for it—as the Christian has—he will in-
vent and imagine a ground for it, as Mr. CARLYLE
does. He will persist in cherishing it, though be
can give no reason for it, and thus, though far
from the truth, he has yet escaped from the regions
farthest opposed to it—from scepticism, cold-
heartedness, self-sufficiency—she logic, restlessness,
cavilling of an intellect which sees nothing beyond
itself—and the great dreariness of despair which
comes on as night draws round us, when the un
derstanding can no longer work, and the heart can
no more be deluded by its own vain dreams, but
must awake and face the frightful realities of a
world without a God, because without a creed, and
without a creed, because without a Church."
This Church Journal, therefore, declares that
a sense of " deep and awful mystery removes the
place for arrogance and conceit." An acknowledg-
ment of mystery, he says, " gives a sense of
weakness, humility, and self-distrust," which he
obviously looks on as virtues, and the " still better
consciousness of a greater Power." Faith neces-
sarily follows, according to him, from mystery, for
in doubt and darkness men cannot live without
faith. To us this passage, corning from a Church-
man, who, by professing a firm and avowed belief
in a set of cut-and-dry articles, cannot possibly
see any mystery in the whole matter, seems a very
' remarkable passage, striking as directly at revela-
tion, or knor.ledge, with which mystery is incom-
patible, as can well be conceived. At the present
time, when such large demands are made on our
temper, our purses, our freedom, and our sense, by
the Church, it appears not improper to follow up,
if we can, the clue here given into our hands.
It may be as well first to observe, that a mystery
such as that of which the writer speaks,
is the natural and necessary consequence of
man's condition. He knoweth not his beginning
nor his end. Both are alike involved in obscurity
and mystery. Though he trace the origin of the
body and its decay and corruption, still the connec-
tion of life with organization,—of mind with matter,
is, and must ever be, inscrutable. It escapes alike
the knife of the anatomist and the analysis of the
metaphysician. Here, then, is a natural and an
eternal source of mystery common to all mankind.
The connection of consciousness with the ma-
terial world is equally mysterious. The savage
wonders at tempests, and is awe-stricken at
thunder. The philosopher tries to explain
the rush of the wind, and the formation
of the cloud ; he gathers up many facts, I
he imitates the mighty shock by the charges of his
petty jars, and comes at length to the conclusion
that it is caused by a fluid which nobody has ever
seen or touched, but to which, by way of conceal-
ing his ignorance, he gives the name of electricity.
This is the example ; but all the wonders of
chemistry, explained by what are called chemical
affinities, are as inexplicable as electricity. The
eye sees not what the finger touches, but mere
colours, while the finger touches not the light
which enters the eye, but some laws of repulsion
with which the supposed particles of matter are
endowed. The philosopher can trace the action of
light on the retina, but he can no more explain how
the consciousness of distinct and near objects ensues,
than how life results from organization. The
furthest researches of the philosopher, and the first
perceptions of the savage, leave man alike unable
to explain a great multitude of things, and thus
nature provides for the ever-continuance of mys-
tery, the source of humility and distrust, and of a
conviction that man lives and moves, and has his
being in the presence of a Power greater than
himself.

We arc free to admit that the progress of the
election for Mayor yesterday, has disappointed our
hopes. We are not indeed so much surprised as
mortified by the state of the poll. When we call
to mind the extraordinary arts which have been
used to influence the Livery against Mr. HARMER,
the deep-rooted sentiments which have been ap-
pealed to, he having been described as violating the
strongest and most permanent feelings of man, we
are astonished that he should not be wholly
forsaken by the Livery. His character
must have been excellent, his generosity
great, his rectitude unimpeachable, his love
of truth conspicuous, and the confidence of
his neighbours and friends in proportion, or he
never could have borne up for a day nor an hour
against the flood of vituperation which has been
poured out against him. A more severe ordeal few
men have been exposed to, and all that the malice
of his enemies orthe ingratitude of those whom he has
served can allege against him, is that he mainly owes
his present fortune to being the proprietor of a very
popular Journal. If he could be charged with any
other offence it would be brought forward, and
though he should now fail, it must ever be for him
and his friends a source of just and honest pride,
that the only flaw in his whole conduct is his
.
bewg the owner of a newspaper which is a thorn
in the flesh of the Tories.

Such being the plain fact, the battle not being
yet won, we cannot believe so ill of the Livery as to
suppose that they will allow an honest, open-
/
hearted Englishman to be run down because
I the popular opinions of his Journal do not please
the priesthood. Like Mr. HA RMEIi, the Livery are
' generous, honest, plain- spoken Englishmen, and they '
will, we are confident, do justice to him, and honour
to themselves, by placing him at the head of the
poll. They are now called on by a Journal,
which one of its correspondents yesterday styled
" the safeguard of our Ecclesiastical Establish-
ment," to vote against Mr. HARMER, because
he is opposed to the Church ; but that Jour-
nal has veered round half -dozen times within
these few years, and very likely will next year
call on thcm to oppose Mr. PIRIE, because he
owns timber ships which sometimes go down
with their crews, or Mr. JOHNSON, because
he is a Tory opposed to the Church. What men
of sense could follow such a will-'o-the•wisp, to be,
dragged through the mire of all parties as its inte-
rest or malice may dictate ? A more unsafe guide
the Livery cannot follow. We hope, therefore, that
they will to-day come forward in their strength, and
give to Mr. HARMER, whose face, redolent of good
humour and frank honesty bespeaks their confidence,
a hearty support, and at once convince the sneaking
Jesuitical crew who expect to triumph by calumni-
ating him, that the bulk of the Livery is not un-
English, and priest-ridden, like the unknown au-
thors of the Declaration.

who is a good citizen, a good father, a good hus-
band, with the two greatest ruffians modern times
have produced. Mr. HARMER'S only offence is
being the proprietor of the Dispatch, which, ac-
cording to the statements of his worst enemies,
was never half so injurious to society as Mr•
Sheriff EVANS' gin distillery. But because the
Dispatch is not written to please the coadjutors of
the landlords and their abettors in depopulating
our towns, who are appointed by GOD, according
to the Tory authorities, for this purpose, Mr. HAR-
MER is classed with GREENACRE and THURTELL.
Livery of London, if you would not have
ruffianism overspread the land under the patronage
of the ruffian Tory press—if you would not have
a moral confusion introduced which will be worse
than a pestilence, bestir yourselves, and do not al-
low that press to run down such men as Mr.
HARMER. If you permit it, there is not a virtuous
citizen in the kingdom who may not in like manner
be run down, as if he were a THURTELL or a
GREENACRE.

The latest advices from Constantinople are of die
9th ult. On the Sth, Count WALEWSKI had
arrived, on board the Papin steamer, from Alexan-
dria. The next day RIFAAT BEY arrived, on board
the Turkish steamer Tajivi Bahri, with the final
answer of the VICEROY to his Excellency and the
Consuls of the Four Powers, which the Turkish
Gazette says very expressively, " may be regarded
as a refusal to adhere to the propositions of the
Treaty of London." In fact the refusal of the
Paella of EGYPT to accept the propositions of the
Four Powers, gave more pleasure than pain. to the
Divan. It was even said that the SULTAN had
hoped for such a result, in order to deprive MEHE-
MET ALI of the Pachalics of Syria and St. Jean
d'Acre. The Turkish squadron, consisting of a
ship of the line, two frigates, two corvettes, and
several transports, had joined the British fleet off
Syria. Admiral HUGON, With a French fleet of
nine vessels of war, was in the roads of Phalere.
The fetvah, or sentence of excommunication
against MEHEMET ALI, granted to the Porte by
the SHIEK AL ISLAM, had not been read in the
Mosques on the 9th ult. Its promulgation was
however to precede the commencement of hostilities
on the part of the SULTAN.

So far all is in a fair train towards a speedy and
a definite result. This, however, is not admitted
by any of the French Journals of Tuesday. We
cannot but admire their consistency upon this point,
even while condemning their cause as erroneous,
At every step of our advancement towards a solu-
tion of the grand problem which turns all eyes to
the East, the lively imaginations of our Gallic
Contemporaries conjure up fresh hosts of insut-
mountable difficulties, which only disappear to
make room for an array of evils still more terrible.
We need not remind our readers of the rumoured
intentional occupation of Constantinople by a Rus-
sian vanguard of 30,000 men, to be followed by
the appearance in the Bosphorus of the entire
fleet in the Black Sea, reinforced in a few months
by the 100,000 troops reported to be encamped
within a short march of Odessa. That calamity,
which it was thought nothing could prevent, wa
forgotten when it was discovered that Russia was
about to fill the Mediterranean with her fleets now
in the Black Sea and the Baltic, with the double
view of stirring up- an insurrection in .the, Greek
ist.oas, and prostrating the power:of Mtex-Eiwr.r
in Syria, and France in Africa. A month ago ME-
HEMET ALI, we were told, would not yield an inch
to save Egypt from carnage, but on the first an-
nouncement of the hostile intentions of the Four
Powers, he would order IBRAHIM to march upon
Constantinople and extinguish the dynasty of the
Osmanlis. Now that it cannot be denied that thef
VICEROY has admitted that he, too, is made o
" squeezable materials"—that he is amenable to
the influence of " pressure from
.without"— that,
in a word, his Highness is capable of making con-
cessions when demanded by a regard for his per-
sonal glory and the interests of his family, a fresh
obstacle of gigantic magnitude is discovered righ
in the path of the Four Powers. It reminds us o
an incident related in a chapter of Sacred history,
with which our readers must be perfectly familiar

ALI has contrived that winter shall do to the Four
Powers—force them, after the shipwreck of their
fleets on the iron-bound coast of Syria, to proclaim
aloud in language never before uttered by them,
the evil influences by which they have hitherto
been directed. Now, of all the bugbears which
have been conjured up to frighten the Four Powers,
this of the winter off Syria is by far the most ridi-
culous. Nor can we believe MEHEMET ALI to
be such a fool as to suppose that any losses which
the Great Powers could sustain from the incle-
mency of the season now approaching would in the
least affect their determination. As regards Eng-
land, it is well known that the contrary will be the

so would be madness. But, wounded vanity apart,
the interests of France and England in the adjust-
ment of the Eastern question are in a great measure
identical. This is well known to the French Go-
vernment. We therefore only anticipate a media-
torial interferenee on the
part of France—an inter.
ference invoked by Lord P ALMERSTON, and re-
sponded to by M. TRIERS, when he sent Count
WALEWSKI to Alexandria,

municated to the British Government, without
laughing in his Excellency's face. Only conceive
the absurdity of imputing to England designs hos-
tile to the triumph of the Revolution of July—a
Revolution of which she was the first to proclaim
to astonished Europe the entire legitimacy !

The Moniteur Algerien of the 21st ult. contains
the particulars of the engagement which took place on
the 19th between Ben Salem and the column of Ge-
neral Changarnier. Marshal Valee was seeking an
opportunity of attacking this chief when he was informed
on the 17th, that he was then encamped on the banks
of the Oued Kaddara, laying siege to the French block-
house of Cara Mustapha. A column of troops
was accordingly ordered to rendezvous on that
day at the Maison Carrec, under the command
of General Changarnier. This officer having made
all the necessary arrangements, commenced his
march at eight o'clock in the evening of the
18th, and at daybreak arrived at and surprised the
camp of Ben Salem. The infantry of the Arabs was
either destroyed or dispersed, and the cavalry having
rallied on the right. bank of the Boudouaon, was
vigorously charged by the Ist regiment of African
Chasseurs and completely routed. 129 killed re-
mained on the field ; 17 were made prisoners, and 40
horses, with 200 muskets, fell into the hands of the
French. Hadj•Omar, Caid of the Issers, and the .Gaid
of the Arabs, were both killed, and Ben Salem e ffected
his escape into the mountains. The French had only
one man killed and six wounded.

A journal mentions as a report the arrival of Maria
Christina at Port Vendres. We believe that no credit

The Bishop of LONDON is at his hypocritical
work again. He has a splendid mansion on the
banks of the Thames, with every accommodation
that the heart of man can desire ; yet all this avails
him nothing, while he sees thousands from his
palace more happy than himself. SIDNEY SMITH
told his Lordship' that lid—tekik's—v-iii-CO-tiveitieni
stroll round St. Paul's for the purpose of making a
speech on spiritual destitution, and the Bishop in
Ithe House of Lords admitted that he had spent a
whole Sabbath in counting the boats on the river,
in order to make a similar speech, and tell the
Peers how that sacred day was desecrated in front
of his princely mansion. The House of Lords
took no notice of this prying, pharisaical mode of
spending the Lord's Day ; but the Times rudely
adverted to it, and asked, very irreverently,
" What would the man be at ?" Since that
day till the present time the pious Bishop
has not uttered a word against Sunday pleasure
boats, but latterly has turned his attention to the
barges, and in a letter addressed to the LORD
MAYOR, and read at the Mansion-house yester-
day, calls on his Lordship, as Conservator of
the River, to put a stop to the navigation of the
river on the Lord's Day. He does not, it is
true, personally make the application to the LORD
MAYOR, and state, as he did on the occasion
alluded to, the number of barges that pass up
and down, but he tells the clergy on the banks
of the river what they must do, and the obse-
quious slaves, to the number of fifty-three, obey
his commands, draw up a memorial as if from
themselves, and humbly request that he will pre-
sent their urgent prayer to the Right Hon. the
LORD MAYOR, Court of Aldermen, &c., to put an
end to the river traffic on Sunday. We are asto-
nished at the effrontery of this " man," after the
speech he made but two months ago, so insulting to
the clergy of England. On that occasion he sub-
stantially asserted that petitions from clergymen
were all a " farce," that the Bishop and Arch-
deacon were the prime movers, and that they had
only to propose, and the clergy must adopt ; and
yet he forwards a letter to the LORD MAY.)II,
dated the 18th of August, some few days after he
made this memorable assertion, with a memorial
from fifty-three of these clergymen, to back a phari-
saidal project of his own I The Court of Aldermen
treated the memorial as it deserved. One said the
project Could not be entertained till all
Sunday trading was stopped ; another that
bonds for 150,0001. had been given, and
must be paid ; a third, that if the pious Bishop's
wish were adopted, the Sunday would be dese-
crated ten times more ; and they summed up
with this emphatic resolution, " That the Court
had no:, the power to comply with the request of
the memorialists." All the details of this miserable
atter:„-,pt of the Bishop to impose upon the ignorant
and superstitious multitude, will be found in another
part of the paper, under the head " Court of
Aldermen."

A Cabinet Council was held to-day at the Foreign-
office ; the prorogation of Parliament, and the affairs

Ministerial deliberation.

Ma. HARDIER.—A Correspondent informs us that
Mr. Harmer is remarkable for his generosity, and
ratft.tiorta. as a. proof of it, that on the spur- of -the
moment he lent a respectable tradesman 5,000/. who
was in temporary difficulties, and by other exertions
melded him to get through them, and establish his
fortune. He mentions, too, that Mr. Harmer advanced
3,0001. to enable a certain City functionary to assume
a high office, which has since been repaid by that func-
tionary using al his in:crest to injure his benefactor.
For a weak, silly man, an obligation is an insupportable
load, and he is never easy till he has proved by his con-
duct that the person who served him was a fool for his
pains. Amongst the placards in the City we see one
which probably alludes to this circumstance. It runs
thus :—" Skinflint will Marshall the meeting, and will
give new lights upon gratitude and friendship."
THE DIVINITY CHAIR AT GLASGOW,..-The Times
has an article this morning on the selection of a pro-
fessor for this chair, for which Dr. Chalmers, if he has
any sense of propriety, must be utterly ashamed. It
sets cut with prefessing the most religious impartiality,
ar.d after making three of the candidates as contemptible
as possible, it presents Dr. Chalmers as suing, in/urn-a
pauperis, for this valuable appointment,the most lucrative
of all the theological chairs in Scotland. We thought the
Doctor above the temptation of filthy /acre, hut, alas ! poor
human nature, the bankruptcy of the Tory corporation
of Edinburgh has crippled his finances, and that is
made a plea for his transmigration to a richer living.
The long Jesuitical article winds up quite in character,
holding out a threat to the Seamus Academicus that if
they do not select Chalmers, the University Commis-
sion will do for them. This very threat should decide
their choice in favour of any candidate but that at-
tempted to be thrust upon them by the Apostate Journal.

Nor does it require any knowledge beyond
an acquaintance with the fact, that the
light which is adapted to our eyes comes
from and penetrates the furthest parts of
space, to be convinced that this Power, which is
around and about us, fills all space. It was—all re-
cords show—before us ; and there is a law of our
being which convinces us that it will exist after us,
and it is for us as eternal as it is illimitable. In our
constitution, in our life, and in our connection with
the material world, both in the infancy of mankind
and in its furthest civilization, lie a source of inex-
plicable mystery, and a fountain of perpetual wonder.
But what says the Church, with its formal
creed, with its precise explanations and its direc-
tions ? Why that it knows all things—that the
whole mystery of man's beginning and his end
have been explained to it, that it has been admitted
into the counsels of God, or had them imparted to
it. The Church knows, too, why and how man is
as he is, and knows precisely what is to become of
him in all ages hereafter. We question not the
truth of what the Church asserts, we only affirm
that knowledge and mystery are antipodes. They
are incompatible and contradictory states of mind
which cannot possibly co-exist. The Church may
know why man was made as we find him, may
know what is to become of him hereafter, may
know all those perplexing secrets which philosophers
perpetually try to explain, and ever as they explain
them, some find others still more difficult of explana-
tion ; and, knowing all that is essential, the
Church may be able to prescribe every part of con-
duct, and solve every doubt; but we have the autho-
rity of the Quarterly Review for asserting that
doubt leads to acknowledge a mystery, that mystery
is the source of faith, the source of wonder and of
worship, and that to have knowledge is to put
an end to doubt, mystery, and faith.

THE MARKETS.—(THIS DAY.)

We are grateful to the Quarterly for giving us
, this explanation of the source of faith, and its in-
compatibility with knowledge. We see from that
at a glance why mankind are now cold and self-suf-
ficient, believing nothing without a reason. It is
owing to the influence of the priesthood. We see,
too, why the priesthood are conceited, arrogant, de-
nuded of all sense of weakness, and unacquainted
with the virtues of humility and self-distrust. For
them everything is explained as clear as daylight.
They have no doubt. For them tl.-Jere is no mystery,
and they can have no faith, -%Vhatever religion may
be for the people who:n they call on to have faith in

Some journals say that the Government has resolved
on convoking the Chambers. When ? Why, on the
25th of November ; that is to say, two months hence.
This would be pure derision. When M. Thiers en-
tered on his ministry, his own journals declared that the
regulix time for the meeting of the Chambers ought in
future to be the Ist of November. Thus M. Thiers
would have considered the urgency and gravity of the
circumstances which oblige him to violate the Constitu-
tion only as a reason for putting off the moment for
giving his political and financial accounts.—Le Com-

The National has the following letter from Calais,
dated the 26th :

" Yesterday, the 25th, in the morning, one of our
French mail-boats, crossing from Calais to Dover, met a
division of Russian ships of the line sailing towards the
south. There were three of them, one bearing the flag
of R•2ar-Ad►niral. A division of twelve men-of-war of
the same nation. is expected to-day or to-morrow.
It is the whole of the Russia❑ fleet proceeding from the
Baltic to the Mediterranean, without eclat and in small

This netvs seems to be confirmed by the Industriel of
Calais, of yesterday, which says—
" We are assured that five Russian ships of the line
paged this morning in sight of Calais. It is supposed
they were going to Plymouth."
Though this announcement of the passage of the
Russian fleet is repeated from different quarters, the
repeated news must be considered as cloubtful.—Le
Consatutionncl.

The Standard yesterday, to aid Mr. BALDWIN,
who is going about decrying Mr. lIAIOIER, had
the astounding impudence to class Mr. HARMER
with THURTELL and GREENACRE. " The busi-
ness of the press," it boldly avowed, " is to run
down such men."
