land, and W. L. is resolved that no exertion on his part shall
be spared to maintain its former reputation.

pINNOCK'S CATECHISMS OF THE
ARTS AND SCIENCES.
Copiously illustrated with maps, plates, and woodcuts, 18mo,
price 9d. each, in stiff wrapper.
The extensive sale of these little works has proved their un-
rivalled utility as initiatory to all branches of learning. Their
style has rendered them available by the youngest schoar, while
at the same time adults have derived equal advantage from
them in commencing a course of any of the subjects treated of.
Each Catechism has been carefully re-edited, and were the
names of the various editors to be given, they would be found
to include those of men the most distinguished in their various
professions and pursuits. Every edition is also carefully su-
pervised, so as to comprise the latest discoveries or improve-
ments. It is not too much to say that these little works have
greatly aided the intell,ctual advance of the age, by rendering
clear to the dullest capacity the elements of all branches of
knowledge.
The following are the subjects treated of, each in a ;separate

Why rob a Post Apostolical Era of its proper honours?
CHRISTIE'S DISCOURSES on the DI-
VINE UNITY. Fourth Edition, price 3s.
It is perfectly childish to talk of any Trinitarian Church
being an Apostolical Church. We might as well say that a
Tri-Baptist Church was an Apostolical Church. The wor-
ship of a one God Trinity may be so improvement upon the
worship of "the God of our Lord Jesus Christ," as Tri- Baptism
in the name of three Persons may be an improvement upon
Baptism into, or on, the name of One. But it is the data, not
the merits, of particular Churches, that is the question. And
anachronism is too " stubborn a thing " to be dissolved by talk.

POLISH REFUGEES IN PARIS.—From the
indefatigable exertions of the Princess Czartorysky,
and the benevolence of the other lady patronesses, the
late fancy sale for the benefit of the necessitous Polish
refugees produced 25,000 f. In the course of the pre-
sent month it is intended that an opera shall be performed
for the same charitable purposes at one of the principal
theatres of Paris, by amateurs of rank, several rehearsals
of which have been had at the Hotel Castellane.

" From the preponderance of talent we may always infer
the soundness of the commonwealth; but from the preponder-
ance of riches, its dotage and degeneracy."
In proportion as nations get more corrupt, more disgrace
will attach to poverty, and more respect to wealth. But these
are two questions that would completely reverse this order of
things; what keeps some persons poor ? and what has made
others rich ? The true answers to these queries would often
make the poor man more proud cf his poverty than the rich
man is of his wealth, and the rich man more justly ashamed of
his wealth than the poor man, unjustly, now is of his po:•erty."

" He (Sir Robert Peel) may vaunt himself of the share
which he has had in promoting that unhallowed measure the
New Poor-law, if he pleases ; the country does not vaunt him ;
many of his personal fi iends do not !
" let Sir Robert Peel understand his position. He is infi-
nitely better than
in Parliament upon all points except this. But he is not a
Canning—he is not a Wyndham, nor a Pitt, nor a Fox. He
cannot, by dint of personal influence or brilliant talents, carry
his countrymen with him to any great extent upon questions on
which there was no union of opinion before, as was the case
with those statesman " born" in " happier days."
" Reflections of this kind would be of great use to Sir Robert
Peel. We respect him, but are no flatterers of him, nor ever
will be."—The Times, Friday, August 2, 1639.
"It is pleasing to us to observe a conspicuous personage in
our triple state, who was alike unmindful in his day, and of the
posthumous fame of a Prince—Sir Robert Peel has his proper
estimation with a portion of the press." The Tories quarrel
with the Hon. Baronet because of his feeble, shifting, cowardly
policy which has been pursued during several Sessions of Par-
liament. We now find this once trumpeted statesman every-
where inveighed against by those of his own faction, as a slug-
gish and irresolute, if not a feeble-minded, statesman."—Sun-
day Times, October 27, 1839. —The Sun, Jan. 4, 1840.
Letter to Sir Robert Peel and the Tories.—" The Tories
secretly regard you as a shifty time-server, a sort of political
vicar of Bray ; intent on turning to your own account the

" Reflections of this kind would be of great use to Sir
Robert Peer —the Conservative leader !—" this once trum-
peted statesman"—to whom we say, he who could once so far
forget himself by
,dereliction of duty to be unmindful of his
Prince's houolir,' —" hide his inglorious head." He who
assumed to himself "the first of his family," should have

to say so much, we cannot avoid stating our conviction
that the conduct of the Chartists who pursue such a
course as that adopted at Edinburgh, gives strong co-
lour to the suspicion of their acting with the Tories.
But whether they are acting under Tory influence or
not, they are at least supporting the worst principleS
ever defended by the Tories, and measures diametrically
opposed to their own interest, and the interest of every
poor man in the country. The reason assigned by the
Chartists for thus opposing the Anti-Corn-law demon-

FATAL ACCIDENT TO MR. T
....ANGFORD
BROOKE.—This gentleman, who
about two years ago
was married to a daughter of Lady Charlotte Bury,
had ventured, a day or two since, on the ice upon a
pond in the pleasure grounds of his seat in Cheshire.
The ice broke, and Mr. Langford Brooke, as the water
was very shallow, instead of waiting till a rope should
be thrown to him, determined on working his way to
the bank, which was so near that he could converse
with the persons on shore. In his progress, however,
be unfortunately stepped into a deep hole and sank, to
rise no more. What renders the circumstance the
more distressing is, that it occurred in the presence of
Mrs. Lankford Brooke. who was at the drawing-room
window at the time.—Post.

ANCIENT BAS.RELIEFS.7A letter from Tie
trevile, in the department of the Seine Iriferieure, states,
that M. Certain, a painter in glass at Peuville, had re-
cently discovered two ancient bas-reliefs at the former
place—the one in yellowish marble, representing the
murder of Thomas a Becket—the other in alabaster,
and supposed to represent the murder, in 589, of St.
Pretextat, Archbishop of Rouen.

The despotic tendency of the present Government
of Greece, at once injurious to the interests and re-
volting to the disposition of the people, has constantly
afforded occasions for censure and remonstrance on the
part of those who are interested in the welfare of that
country. But never, perhaps, since the Bavarian So-
vereign first set foot in the lima. the destinies of which
had been confided to his guardianship, has any act of
his Government given such just cause of dissatisfaction
as those proceedings which we are about to refer to.
Theophilus Kairis is known by every Greek, and
almost every friend of Greece, to stand pre-eminent in
that class of her patriots whose names have ',ever been
uttered with reproach, and whose acts have never been
sullied by the imputation of interested motives. His
devotion to his country during the war of independence
was entire. His profession of priesthood forbade
employment, in the field ; but his talents, information,
and judgment, were of eminent advantage in the
equally important arena of diplomacy. Such, at least,
was the estimation in which those services and talents
were held by his countrymen, that, on the occasion
of the installation of Capo d'lstria, Kairis was chosen
to pronounce, in the name of the Greek nation, a con-
gratulatory address to the new President. But a spirit
of liberty, somewhat too ardent for the taste of Capo
d'lstria, shone through the oration of Kairis. He in-
curred the displeasure of that designing politician.
He was not discouraged by this circumstance : for he
still saw a wide field of utility open before him. He
became a wanderer in distant countries ; then he col-
lected slowly and with diffiCalty tite slender funds ne-
cessary for the execution of his project. He then re-
turned to Greece, and opened a school in Andros for the
orphans of those who had fallen during the revolution.
The number of his scholars, at first small, increased
rapidly. For, not only the destitute objects for whose
benefit the institution was principally intended, but the
children of the wealthiest merchants of Constantinople,
Smyrna, and Athens, came to listen to the instruction
of Kairis ; and the Orphan Asylum of Andros became
the second university of Greece.
Policy alone, it might be imagined, should have
prevented the Government from interfering with
Kairis. Not only were his laboars highly bene-
ficial to his country, but the popularity he enjoyed
was unbounded. No people on earth have a quicker
perception of the merits of public men than the
Greeks. Like the Athenians of old, if they do not
always practise what is right, they are ever ready with
the just tribute of applause and affection for those who
set them a bright example. Accordingly, they appre-
ciated the rare character of Kairis. They venerated,
almost idolized the man, who, leaving honours on the
right hand, and interest on the left, devoted every
energy to the humble but useful path he had chosen.
Yet the Government selected this man for persecution.
The Greek priesthood possess very gre ,t influence
over the public mind. A part of this influence
belongs of right to their sacred office, but a con-
siderable portion is due to the superstition of those
over whom it is exercised. Thus, the Papas
have some cause for the jealousy with which they
regard the progress of education. Yet it is remark-
able that,they have never encountered that progress with
open opposition. In point of fact, the avidity with
which the Greeks seek literary instruction is so great,
that the hierarchy have wisely refrained from compro-
mising their authority by exerting it in a conflict, the
issue of which they consider doubtful. But although
unwilling to engage in a war on education as principals,
they were ready enough to become the allies of the Go-
vernment in such an enterprise.
On the 26th of October last a Greek ship of war
appeared at Andros, having on board a Royal Com-
missioner with a warrant for the apprehension of
Kairis. The alternative of voluntary banishment
was offered to him, which he indignantly rejected.
Half an hour's delay was then accorded for the ar-
rangement of his private affairs and those of the
establishment over which he presided ; at the end of
that time he was forced to embark in the Minerva,
amidst the tears and lamentations of the entire popu-
lation of Andros, who were only restrained by his com-
mands from accompanying him with their ships.
He was conveyed first to Syra, and thence to Egina,
everywhere meeting with touching marks of respect and
sorrow. On the 2d of November he was transported
to the Pirteus, and brought, under an escort, to Athens.
The Government declared that the detention at
Egina, and the military guard, were precautions adopted
with a view to the safety of Kairis, whose life they as-
serted to be in danger from the fury of the people.
He was arraigned before the Synod of the Greek
Church, on charges not very unlike, those which were
formerly brought against the son of Sophroniscus—
`,N6speer I cox; weeds ouc r iroAt: vol./4st ou•
*/ p,{ w.l-he was accused of teaching theistical doe=
trines. The defence of Kairis was short' but satis-
factory. As to the theological instruction given
in his Institution at Andros, he expressed . his
perfect readiness to leave that to the sole superin-.
tendence of the Synod itself. The questions put to
him respecting his private belief he protested-
against as inquisitorial. However, he candidly ad-
mitted that he was not free from difficulties with
respect to some of the dogmas of the Greek Church.
But he asserted that he had never communicated his
doubts to any one ; much less endeavoured to instil
them into the minds of his pupils. His trial was not a
long one. The shouts of the people for Kairis quickened
the deliberations of the Holy Synod. The admissions he
had made were sufficient. He was declared incapacitated
to instruct on any subject, deprived of his priesthood,
and condemned to be visited (in which sentence
his writings were included) with the maledictions
of the Church. This was the justice of the Synod.
Kairis was destined to taste toeir tender mercies
also. At their request, the King has provisionally sus-
pended the execution of their decree, and has directed
Kairis to be conveyed to a monastery in the romote
island of Sciatho, where he is now immured. In the
Royal ordinance his imprisonment is termed a delay'
granted him to facilitate his repentance, and return
to the right path, from wh ch he has wandered.
Thus the Greek Government has, at one blow,
levelled with the dust an institution which, spring-
ing from the wants of the p-ople, formed by native
genius, and endowed with a purely national charac-
ter, seemed calculated to produce more beneficial
and more permanent effects than anything which has
yet been devised for the improvement of the country :
an institution of so fair a promise, as almost to justify
those who fondly hope that some ray of her ancient
glory, after a night of so many ages, may yet descend
upon Hellas.
