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 eulogium upon the devotion which the common-
alty of Scotland had ever displayed—in the time of
Wallace when deserted by the noble?, and subsequently
both at the Reformation and during the previous eccle-
siastical troubles. Coming to the Unien hegave agraphic
picture of the new phases which it developed in the cp.reer
of the Scottish courtier. He thought the removal of the
Court to London bad one bad etTectin creating thatfalse
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 18th century. But, unquestionably, great good
arose to this country from the manner in which the re-
presentatives of Scotland in London hal always asserted
their claims to a share in those offices which the English
were 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 eentury. Tne first, Duncan Forbes, of Culloden,
about the greatest patriot and statesman Scotland ever
bad, who ought to be more revered and honoured ; the
tecond, 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 Scotchmen 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 et 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 1 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 public, 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
deacon" of hie chapel. He appeared quite recovered
fiorn his recent indisposition. .11e looked serious, but
'there was nothing extraordinary in his countenance be-
yond that impulsive expression which seems to be the
leading eharacteristic of hii 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 areassembled here this day with mixed feelings of joy
andsorry—joy that we meet each other again, and sorrow
for those who have suffered bereavements. Thanks to Thy
name !—thanks to Thy name I Thy servant. feared he
should not have addressed this congregation again ; but
Thou halt 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. Thou hest welded us together, one in doctrine,
one in practice, and one in holy love. Oh that it may
be 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 hags 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 snow, after which Mr. Spurgeon
spoke as follows in reference to the melanchely
occasion above referred to :—" Now, my dear friends,
I almost regret that I should have occupied the
pulpit this morning, because 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 ; bet, upon coming
tick again to the same spot, and addressing you front
this place, I experience the same 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 feel that
I could not preach upon a subject at all allied to it. f
should be overwhelmed by the torrent of my feelineee if
I recurred to that dreadfol scene in which it was my lot
to stand. God will overrule that event for good. It

window of his brougham.

L MONDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1856.

The Eastern difficulty has by no means been
removed. Many vexed questions still remain
which must be filially and satisfactorily disposed
of before the Precious Treaty can be regarded as
anything better than a mere temporary armistice
—a suspension of hostilities sufficient to enable
Russia to regain her exhausted strength, and to
sow dissension between her two most formidable
opponents. With France and England cordially
united she knows that she is unable to cope
either by sea or land. But what she cannot ac-
complish by force she strives to achieve by fraud,
and is little solicitous as to the means, provided
the object be gained.
She is playing a cunning game—not trusting
entirely to the fickle goddess, but lending mate-
rial assistance to the vagaries of her " humorous
ladyship." She assumes o variety of Protean
shapes, in order to discover and experimentaliso on
the weak points of those who may be worth
winning. For one she has ribands, badges, orders,
and all the varied paraphernalia in which cour-
tiers and diplomatists especially delight. For
others, hard cash. Promises never to be realised,
or empty titleg, cowent the credulous and the
vain. While more substantial boons are con-
ferred on men of the world—who, to use the
vulgar but expressive phrase, are "not to be
caught with chaff." The maxim of that shrewd
observer, Sir RoeEnT WALPOLE, that "every
man has his price, if it can only be ascertained,"
