the humble orders of the Scottish people found them-

'
selves intrusted with the guiding power in ecclesiastical
Matters that there arose in this country for the first time
the spirit of civil independence. In former times they
fought like lions against foreign despots, but not
against home tyrants. They had not the old English
feeling ; and we find little trace of it in Scotland until
the Reformation, which first gave to the inhabitants of
this country that view of civil independence which they
have since maintained. His lordship pronounced a
warm enlogium upon the devotion which the common-
alty of Scotland had ever displayed—in the time of
Wallace when deserted by the nobles, and subsequently
both at the Reformation and during the previous eccle-
siastical troubles. Coming to the-Union he gave a graphic
picture of the new phases which it developed in the career
of the Scottish courtier. He thought the removal of the
Court to London had one bad effect in creating that false
shame among Scottish courtiers which arose from their
nervousness when they were assailed with the sneers and
taunts, and jeers of the English at Whitehall. Sir Per-
tinax Mac-Sycophant, who was "aye booing," was the
embodiment of the Scottish character by the dramatists
of the ISth century. But, unquestionably, great good
arose to this country from the manner in which the re-
presentatives of Scotland in London had always asserted
their claims to a share in those offices which the English
wire at first disposed to regard as their own exclusive
birthright. After eulogising the memory of Henry
Dundas and the Scottish Jacobites his lordship glanced
at three names as typical of Scotch character during the
last century. The first, Duncan Forbes, of Culloden,
about the greatest patriot and statesman Scotland ever
had, who ought to be more revered and honoured ; the
second, David Hume, who was emphatically the man of
the last century, although the jealousy of the English
people and the English constitution which tinged all his
writings was the fruit of a hatred engendered by the quips
and scorns to which he and the Scotehmen of his time
were subjected in London; the third, Robert Burns, who
had preserved in a classic form which will go down to
our latest posterity that language which bade fair to pass
into a barbarous jargon. In conclusion, he alluded to
the great influence for good which had arisen from our
gracious Sovereign having taken up her residence for a
short period of each year in Scotland. More through
that than any other cause the impressions of English-
men with regard to Scotland had been fairly altered.
He likewise briefly alluded to the great cause of educa-
tion, particularly to the amelioration of the great masses
of people which our commerce and manufactures had
brought together. The question of the day was, how
were we to provide that education which ought to ad-
vance in proportion to the population ? He could only
say that every drop thrown into the ocean of general
education was not to be despised, and might raise a
train of thought which might ripen into powerful
exertions for the common good.
His lordship sat down amid loud cheers.

RE-APPEARANCE OF MR. SPURGEON AT
PARK-STREET CHAPEL.

Yesterday forenoon Mr. Spurgeon, pursuant to notice
privately circulated among his congregation, resumed the
occupancy of his own pulpit in Park-street Chapel, South-
wark. A. great many persons were admitted by tickets
before the doors were opened to the piblic, and when
the preacher entered, every nook and corner, as well
in the body of the chapel as in the galleries, was densely
crowded by an eager auditory.
Mr. Spurgeon was conducted to the pulpit by the
deacons of his chapel. He appeared quite recovered
from his recent indisposition. He looked serious, but
there was nothing extraordinary in his countenance be-
yond that impulsive expression which seems to be the
leading eharacteristic of features.
The service commenced with a short prayer, after
which Mr. Spurgeon gave out one of Watts' hymns, in
which, it was declared by some present, one verse de-
picted the preacher's own state of mind :

" The tumult of my thoughts
Doth but enlarge my woe ;
My spirit languishes ; my heart
Is desolate and low."
The hymn sung, Mr. Spurgeon read and expounded a
psalm, and then invited his audience to "wait on the Lord
in prayer." It was now the first allusion was made to the
terrible catastrophe of Sunday fortnight. After invoking a
blessing on his flock, the preacher proceeded as follows :
" We are assembled here this day with mixed feelings of joy
and sorry—joy that we meet each other again, and sorrow
for those who have suffered bereavements. Thanks to Thy
name !—thanks to Thy name ! Thy servant feared he
should not have addressed this congregation again ; but
Thou least brought him from the fiery furnace, and not
even a smell of fire has passed upon him. Thou hest,
moreover, given Thy servant strength, and he desires
now to confirm those great promises of free grace which
the Gospel affords. Thou knowest, 0 God ! our feelings
of sorrow. We must not open the sluices of our woe.
Oh, God ! comfort those who are lingering in pain and
suffering, and cheer those who have been bereaved. Let
a blessing rest upon them, even the blessing of the cove-
nant of grace and of this world. And now, Lord, bless
Thy people. We have loved one another—we have re-
joiced in each other's joys—we have wept together in
sorrow. Tnou bast welded us together, one in doctrine,
one in prac-ice, and one in holy love. Oh ! that it may
he said of each that he is bound up in the bundle of life.
Oh, Lord, we thank Thee for all the slander, calumny,
and malice with which Thou halt allowed the enemy to
honour us ; and grant that we may never give them
cause to blaspheme with reason." Mr. Spurgeon con-
cluded wit h a personal reference to the various classes
of his hearers, calling upon despisers to tremble, scof-
fers to weep, and bidding all true penitents rejoice.
A psalm was now sung, after which Mr. Spurgeon
spoke as follows in reference to the melancholy
occasion above referred to :—" Now, my dear friends,
I almost regret that I should have occupied the
pulpit this morning b€ceuse I feel totally unable to
preach to your profit. • I had thought, during the
relaxation I have had since that terrible catastrophe,
that I was thoroughly recovered ; but, upon coming
beck again to the same spot, and addressing you from
this place, I experience the Fame painful feelings which
well nigh prostrated me before. You will therefore, I
am sure, my kind friends, excuse me if I make no allu-
sion, or scarcely any, to that subject. Indeed I ft el that
I could not preach upon a subject at all allied to it. I
should be overwhelmed by the torrent of my feelings if
I recurred to that dreadful scene in which it was my lot
to stand. God will overrule that event for good. It
might not have arisen so much from the malice of men
se from some simply wicked intention to disturb toe
congregation. I cannot entertain for a moment the
thought that there was any intention to murder those
fellow-creatures whose lives were sacrificed on that me•
lancholy occasion. God forgive the instigators of that
horrid scene. They have my forgiveness from the depths
of my soul. It shall not, however, Stop us—l shall
preach there again yet—(suppressed sounds of approval)
—and God shall give us souls. Satan's empire shall
tremble yet more and more. God is with us ; who shall
against us
Under the circumstances I have men-
tioned I have chosen for my text a highly comforting
and consoling passage of the Scriptures, and one which
alone enables me to appear here before you this morn-
ing, anti which has brought comfort and consolation to
my still oppressed Is is selected from St. -pat"
Epistle to the febilippiane, c. v, 9, 10, and 11 :
6 Wherefore God also bath highly exalted Hun, and given
Him a name which is above every name : That at th e

gave an eloquent exposition of the text, and ;;veptuerdg the
attention of his hearers for more than half an hour. The
discourse was almost entirely free from the strange me-
taphors which have rendered thie ,gentleman's preaching
so notorious, and probably
many who came to be amused
may have gone away disappointed.
A great crowd awaited Mr. Spargeon'e departure
from the chapel, and many eager admirers ran after his
carriage to grasp the hand which be extended from the
window of his brougham.

vices," that are to be cotn pensated by so rich
a reward ? Count WIALEWSKI was the
Minister of France, on whom the chief
responsibility for the mar. agement of the war
rested. If he acted faithf ally to his adopted
country he must have irrevocably cast off the
allegiance due to the Autocrat, and to the best
and utmost of his abPities endeavoured to pro-
mote a state of affairs by no means satisfactory
to, or compatible with, the interests of Russia.
And what is even of still greater importance, will
be either president or a leading and influential
member of the New Conferences, supplemental
to those that effectuated in the Precious Treaty.
The CZAR'S gratitude for important " services"
during the late war may, therefore, be something
analogous to that of sundry "waiters on Pn9vr-
DENCE," which has been defined as a lively sense
of favours to come.
But whether the boon be for the past, the
present, or the future, it is deserving of attentive
consideration on the part of the English Govern-
ment. If Count WALEWSKI has indeed obtained
possession of his hereditary estates he is the
vassal of Russia, and may be recalled at
any moment when he is not sufficiently sub-
missive to the will of his Autocratic master.
It is therefore his interest to conciliate the Govern-
ment of St. Petersburg, and it cannot be sup-
posed that he will hold the scales with an im-
partial hand in his position as President of the
forthcoming Conferences. In such a position a
man should bo "above suspicion," and as that
cannot possibly be the case, Count WenEwsKr
should be relieved from further labour, and some
person substituted not affected by so many con-
flicting influences.
Complaints have already been put forward on
the part of Russia respecting the continuance
of the English fleet in the Euxino ! And it is
more than hinted that France has not very cor-
dially concurred in the policy of the PALMERSTON
Cabinet ; that she is drawing more closely the
ties by which she is connected with Russia ;
while those cemented by the blood of her own
gallant soldiers and those of England have been
perceptibly loosened. There are said to be serious
differences of opinion between the diplomatists at
the Porte, but whatever may be the case, and no
matter who may be opposed to it, the British
squadron cannot leave the waters of the Black
Sea until Russia has fully and fairly performed
her part of the contract, and the rectification of the
Bessarabian frontier has been completed. The case
is altogether different from that of the Austrian
occupation. England cannot by any possibility
be even suspected of sinister designs respecting
the acquisition of territory. She only looks to
matters of " European" interest so far as the
Principalities are concerned. Besides, the sailors
are not supported at the expense of the inhabi-
tants. Their presence is hailed as a welcome boon,
not an almost intolerable burden. They may
protect—they cannot oppress—or injure the
people.
The final arrangement of the form of govern-
ment in those important provinces is indeed a
matter of deep interest. But it can scarcely be
satisfactorily arranged so long as the Austrian
troops maintain their hold and tyrannise over the
people—we might just as well expect a fair elec-
tion in Kansas as in Moldavia or Wallachia. If left
to themselves the people would arrive at a pro-
per decision. They are not of Sclavonic origin,
and although many of the magnates may have
yielded to the gentle persuasions of Russia, and
although many profess " the orthodox creed,"
they would still, under judicious arrangements, act
as a barrier against Muscovite aggression, and
divide it from Provinces where its arts might, in
consequence, prove far more injurious to the
peace and tranquillity of Europe. The
issue is, indeed, one of vast weight, and
it should receive the calm and attentive conside-
ration it so eminently merits from persons of
whose disinterestedness and impartiality no rea-
sonable doubt can be entertained.

sibly return to pollute the Thames and load the
air of the metropolis and the adjacent towns with
noisome exhalations, that purpose is well worthy
of it. We disdain—all right-thinking men must
—setting a money value on human life. We
leave that to the slaveholder ; and we cannot
suffer it to bo taken for granted that the entire
burden of carrying the sewage to Sea Reach will
fall on the metropolitan ratepayer. Neither can
we admit the possibility of a plan of deodorisation
being discovered by way of excuse for inaction.
The duty of the Metropolitan Board was to decide
on a plan equal to the occasion, and to appeal to
the justice of the Government for the aid they
had a right to seek. It is not to be believed that
aid would have been refused. The evils to be
remedied, if to a large extent matter of local
concern, to be remedied by local effort, are
of national interest also. The pestiferous effiu_
via of which the metropolis is to be rid
though specially injurious to the poor, surges over
and beyond the confined alley, area, and square.
It penetrates the abode of royalty, invades the
seats of legislature and judicature, and is fraught
with danger to the most eminent of all classes in
the land. Of this the Government cannot fail to
be aware, and, being so, are not likely to evade a
responsibility in the due exercise of which every
individual member is personally interested.
Nor is this the only source of aid to which
the Metropclitan Board have a right to look. The
drainage to be carried out to sea must pass through
tracts of marshy land, to the value of which a
well-considered plan would greatly contribute.
The owners could not expect to have this done for
nothing—indeed, it is said, they would be but
too glad to pay a fair modicum towards the taxa-
tion. Are do not see why Greenwich, Woolwich,
Gravesend, kc., should not b 3 now or hereafter
called on to avail themselves of the metropolitan
sea outlet ; and, of course, if they do so,
to contribute in due proportion to the cost.
The more, in fact, the question of expenditure is
examined, the more invalid will appear the plea
on which the Metropolitan Board would justify
their perverse inaction, for not a man of them
but is well aware the plan they have decided on
will not be carried out. We may seem to press
too heavily on the Board—but a moment's reflec-
t tion will show we do not. What have they done
in other matters ? Where is the new street from
Southwark to Westminster ? Where any improve-
ment called for of any moment ? The Board, to
all intents and purposes, are sunk in the sewage,
and that flood would. be a godsend that carried
them, one and all, out to sea. They ara not
the men we took them for, and, what is more,
they are not the men wanted. They are talkers,
and not doers ; great at squabbles, but little
where great deeds are to be done. Away with
them, and let us have fresh men in their place.
We eannot possibly lose by such an exchange.

It i 3 to be hoped the Chairman of the Metro-
politan Board is familiar with the process said to
be in vogue among the genus Tartuffe—to wit,
facial flat ironing, or we may have the actors
laughing at the farce—which is to come off on
Wednesday next—during the performance. On
that day Mr. THWAITES, accompanied by Mr.
BAZALGETTE, the Engineer and the Clerk to the
Board, is to wait on Sir BENJAMIN HALL, the
Chief Commissioner of Works, and submit for his
approval what the Metropolitan Board have done
in relation to the sewerage. The fun of the affair
(doleful enough) is—this is in decided antagonism
to what the Chief Commissioner is bound to insist
on, and as perverse an evasion of duty as it is
foolish, both parties being fully aware that it is
so. A thorough command of countenance would
seem to be indispensable to either, in presenting
or receiving a plan which, after being twice re-
jected, has again been decided on. It is just
possible, however, Sir BENJAMIN HALL may see
no fun in the matter, and while taking the onus
attempted to be thrust on him may administer a
stern rebuke to the miserable incompetents whose
petty spleen directed against him will infallibly
recoil on themselves, because injurious in its
effects to the public. The head of the deputation,
if opposed, as he is said to be, to the plan, can
hardly be further mortified, and certainly so far
as the members are concerned reproof was never
better deserved. Sir BENJAMIN cannot well ad-
minister it with too great severity, provided he
does so in a manner divested of all traces of per-

sonality.
The members of the Board will find themselves
to have been grievously deceived when they de-
cided on so disreputable a course. The cry of
economy, on which they expect to evade the
duty with impunity, is not likely to serve their
turn. The real animus of their procedure is seen
through, and they must not look for sympathy
from the intelligent population. It was not to
indulge in squabbles or set themselves in perverse
hostility- to the Board of Woiks they were re-
turned by the Local Boards.. It was to grapple
with mighty evils—evils affecting the health and
welfare of a population larger than goes to consti-
tute a European kingdom—evils whose ravages
may be seen in many a wasted form and many an
untimely grave. It was to render London a
healthy metropolis, worthy of the greatest calm-
try on the face of the globe—a task worthy of
freemen, involving the highest credit to those who
achieved it, and the deepest disgrace to those who
proved themselves unequal to it. That the Board
is not in the way of earning the honour, but has
already achieved the disgrace, will hardly admit,
of doubt, The plan they have decided on and

zassed through the streets on their departure, I
can inform you that his Majesty was in no very
laughing mood."

The Vienna correspondent of the Times (second
edition) in bis letter of Oct. 30, says :
" On the 14th orl.sth inst., the Allied Powers
forwarded to St. Petersburg a note, or notes, in
which it was said that they must still insist on
the cession to Moldavia of the new town of Bol-
grad, which lies at the north-eastern extremity of
the Lake of Yalpucd. There cannot be a doubt
that Russia has attempted to take undue advan-
tage of the incorrectness of the map which was
used at the Paris Conference, but the allies, and
more particularly France, are so very desirous
to get the frontier question settled, that they are
willing to cede to Russia a rich valley which lies
between the rivers Yalpuck and Yalpujek, if she
will make no further difficulties about the cession
of New Bolgrad. It seems that France pro-
rosed to cede the territory in question as an .
" indemnification," but England, Austria, and
Turkey objected to the use of the word, as it
would have been an indirect confession that
Russia had some claim :to New Bolgrad. It
not believed that the Russian Government will
consent to let the Bessarabian frontier line pass
to the North of New Bolgrad—that is, be-
tween Bolgrad (Tabak) and the new town on
the Lake of Yalpuck ; as it must be perfectly well
known at St. Petersburg that very serious misun-
derstandings have recently arisen between the
allied Powers. The Vienna papers have received
instructions not to say anything which could give
umbrage to the Emperor Napoleon, but still the
relations between the Austrian and French Go-
vernments are far from being satisfactory. A
person who is perfectly well-informed of what is
passing in the political world tells me that the
foundation for an alliance between France and
Russia is already laid, and that the fact is as well
known in England as it is in Austria."
