THE SCOTTISH PULPIT.

Three volumes of this valuable work of Practical Divinity are
are now completed, and may be had of all booksellers for Bs. each
volume. Any volume may be had separate.
" The third volume of this excellent body of Practical Theology
is completed ; and its merits, we think, are even greater than those
of the volumes by which it was preceded. There is a marked im-
provement in the style of the sermons, and to account for the su-
periority is not difficult. The utility of the work is now esta-
blished, and clergymen, appreciating its merits, and knowing its
extensive circulation, select with care the sermons they wish to
appear in its pages. The Scottish Pulpit is a publication in which
Christians of every denomination are interested. With party it
has nothing to do. The diffusion of Christianity is its object, in a
mode cheap, convenient, and elegant.—ln this age of cheap pub-
lications the idea of furnishing two sermons for two-pence seemed
to be merely the speculation of an ardent mind. The attempt,
however, pleased the religious public—the variety of the work
continued to excite attention—its substantial matter ensured ap-
probation, till, from ranking as a weekly production, it has as-
sumed the loftier station of a standard publication of practi.
cal divinity. Nor is this strange. The sermons generally are
what such productions should be, calculated to improve the
understanding and affect the heart, and from the peculiar
circumstances under which they are furnished they have an unction
which few printed sermons possess. This publication, therefore,
has just claims for general diffusion. Is the Christian fond to pos-
sess a sermon of his beloved Minister ? In the stillness of the Sab-
bath evening, does he wish a work suitable for that day, and in uni-
son with his feelings?—Does the father, in a domestic circle on that
evening, require a publication to instruct the minds of his house-
hold, and improve their hearts ? Is the Christian, in the seclusion
of a sick chamber, desirous of spiritual comfort ?—To all these
classes, how diversified soever their circumstances, the Scottish
Pulpit is peculiarly adapted. The religious sailor will find this
work most suitable for a spare hour on Sunday. It will remind
him of home, of his duty to himself, to his neighbour, and to his
God. The pious shipmaster, who assembles his crew for religious
purposes on Sabbath, would consult his own interest and the spiritual
welfare of those for whom he is deeply responsible, by adding to his
religious exercises a selection from the pages of this work. We
heartily recommend this publication to the patronage of a religious
public ; known, its merits will be acknowledged ; and we are proud
to have this work associated with the literature of Scotland. It is
worthy of her press and of her pastors ; and the publishers merit
the warmest thanks for the manner in which the Scottish Pulpit
has been conducted ; and we sincerely trust that their past and con-
tinued exertions will be fairly appreciated."— Greenock Advertiser.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

WEST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE.

LORD MORPETH AND MR. JOHN S. WORTLEY,

AT LEEDS.

Leeds, Tuesday Evening.

The progress of the two candidates in their canvassing
visits through the West Riding, has been marked by the
strongest possible contrast. Lord Morpeth has been re-
ceived at Wakefield, Halifax, Leeds, Dewsbury, Doncas-
ter, Rotherham, Barnsley, Sheffield, Heckmondwike, and
Cleckheaton, with a degree of enthusiasm scarcely, if at
all, inferior to that with which the Reform candidates were
greeted in the highest fervour of the popular excitement
during the struggle for the Reform Bill. Mr. J. S. Wort-
ley, on the contrary, whom the Tories have brought for-
ward to oppose the re-election of Lord Morpeth, has met
with as unfavourable a reception as could possibly be con-
ceived. At Wakefield all was frigid coldness ; at Heck-
mondwike not a voice was raised in his favour ; at Halifax
he supplicated and gesticulated in vain, to get a hearing ; at
Hebden-bridge he was scarcely suffered to alight from his
carriage ; but above all, at Leeds he was heard with exem-
plary patience, yet without producing the slightest impres-
sion in his favour. The canvass returns are such as to leave
no doubt of the election of Lord Morpeth.
Lord Morpeth and Mr. Wortley appeared to-day at
Leeds, and each received a public breakfast from his friends
—the former in the Commercial-buildings, and the latter in
the Music-hall. The liberal party rallied in extraordinary
strength, and gave Lord Morpeth a most cordial reception.
Among the company we noticed the following
J. 0. Marshall, Esq., Chairman, Edward Baines, Esq.,
M.P., F. H. Fawkes, Esq., of Farnley-hall, Crompton
Mansfield, Esq., of Esholt-hall, T. W. Tottie, Esq , James
Brown, Esq., J. H. Oates, Esq., W. W. Brown, Esq., John
Clapham, Esq., G. W. Bischoff, Esq., Henry Bentley, Esq.,
Rev. K. W. Hamilton, Rev. John Ely, Dr. Williamson, J.
B. Pease, Esq., J. R. Ansley, Esq., Thomas Benyon, Esq.,
Wm. Cadman, Esq., James Holdforth, Esq., W. Westwood,
Esq., John Goodman, Esq., T. T. Luccock, Esq., John P.
Clapham, Esq., H. H. Stansfield, Esq., G. Goodman, Esq.,
John Horsfall, Esq., John Sykes, Esq., R. E. Payne, Esq.,
Robert Cadman, Esq., M. Gaunt, Esq., William Smith,
Esq., &c.
After breakfast, short and animating speeches were made
by F. H. Fawkes, Esq., and Lord Morpeth, and the com-
pany then adjourned to the Coloured Cloth-hall.
The candidates having paid their respects to the electors
in this great woollen mart, proceeded to the steps in the
Cloth-hall-yard. Lord Viscount Morpeth and his friends
took their station on the right of the steps, and Mr. Wortley
and his party occupied the left.
Lord Viscount MORPETH was received with loud and
prolonged cheering. When the applause had subsided, his
Lordship said—Gentlemen, when the Administration of
Sir Robert Peel came to an end—the Administration of
Sir Robert Peel—from whom, whether in or out of office,
I have never withheld that tribute of applause which I
think justly due to his high character and commanding ta-
lents—that Administration had my opposition, not only in
my heart, but in my votes, as was shown in my political
conduct in the House of Commons, because I thought the
political principles which that Right Hon. Gentleman had
long professed, and the political associates with whom he
was long connected in office, did not warrant the belief that
he could, with sufficient and cordial support, enter upon
that course of Government, and work out that safe and
sound system of reform upon which I believe the minds of
the people of England, and, among the people of England,
not least in support of reforming principles—the minds
of the inhabitants of the West Riding of Yorkshire are
resolutely and determinedly intent.—(Great cheering.)
And, therefore, Gentlemen, when that Administration
was brought to an end—not in consequence of that to
which I think some of our too eager friends, and still,
perhaps, more of our. calculating opponents, wished to
goad us—not in consequence of a vote of want of con-
fidence—or of stoppage of the supplies, but in consequence
of its being opposed to the spread of those political princi-
ples whigwe, in our hearts, believe to be essential to the
happiness, the interests, and the liberties of the]people. And,
gentlemen, when the Administration now called to office did
me the honour to propose to me the acceptance of a
highly-difficult, but honourable situation, I. then thought,
after the part I had myself taken, after the vote I had
myself given, it did not become me to shrink from taking
any share in the Government, in consequence of those
votes, or decline any difficulty that was imposed on me.—
(Loud cheers.) Well, I ask tor your sanction and your ap-
probation in the step I have taken.—(" You shall have it.")
I did not take an office which did not vacate my seat.—
(Hear, hear.) I did not go, as some of our opponents
would fain have recommended me, to the borough of Mor-
peth, or to friendly Malton—(hear, hear, and cheers)—but
here, before the largest constituency of the British empire,
here, in the Cloth Hall of Leeds, I ask you, my friends,
in which character I ever have addressed you, and in no
other do I ever hope to address you—l ask you whether
you will allow me, and even approve of, my taking office
under a Government which I believe at heart to be reform-
ing and liberal—that office imposing upon me the difficul-
ties, no doubt the onerous, no doubt the responsible, but
yet, no doubt, the high and important endeavours of ad-
ministering the affairs of Ireland in a spirit of kind-
ness, impartiality. and concord.—(Continued cheering.)
It is said, as a grave matter of indictment, that I have occa-
sionally composed verses and written for the annuals.—
(Laughter.) Now, Gentlemen, I admit undoubtedly that
such avocations would be frivolous and unbecoming, if they
took up any time upon which there was any claim for graver
and more specific duties.—( Hear, hear.) But I here see
no proof alleged of such being a complaint against me, and
I admit that in future there is a prospect of my having
enough on my hands, no longer to justify much of what
, leisure alone can make entirely blameless recreation.--
(Cheers.) Now, these are specimens of the charges which
I think nobody need mind.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) But,
Gentlemen, the catalogue blackens as it lengthens. The
main and aggravated charge is this—that I am acting in
deadly enmity, first, to the Established Church ; next, to
the Protestant religion ; and that I am making myself a
dupe and a pander to forward the interests, and promote
the spread of the Roman Catholic faith.—(Great laughter.)
And, gentlemen, 1 must confess this bait to the unwary is
not thrown out without some dexterity. It is known how
genuine and stedfast an adherence to the leading principles
of Protestantism prevails among the great bulk of those
whose confidence I have hitherto had the happiness and
honour to enjoy ; and if it could be shown that, on this
strong ground—in this vital matter of attachment to
what we consider the cause of truth and sound religion,
I was here a recreant and a traitor, prompt—and no
more prompt than it ought to be—would be your abandon-
ment of me ; great and amply merited would be my fall.—
But this charge, of all others, I meet most fearlessly

I am quite willing to compare, not certainly my practice'
my conduct, my life, but my attachment to Protestantism'
with that of any of my accusers, however loudly vaunted.—
(Hear, hear.) I can hardly hope that, in what I have
offered to this meeting, I shall have disarmed the charges,
light and heavy, that have been arrayed against me ; in-
deed, I have no doubt that by the end of the week, by the
appearance of the next Intelligeneer, I shall find an addi-
tional score run against me ; and that, besides being as now
a versifier, a Lord by accident, a mercenary intriguer, an
enemy to the Protestant faith—l may be promoted still
higher, and take a full degree in the usual terms, as Soci-
nian, Infidel, and Atheist.--(Loud cheers and laughter.)
G.ntleonen, I leave my character with my opponents, but
cause with you.—(Cheers, and " We'll have you with all
your faults.") Let the symptoms which have been exhibited
to-day, be prolonged throughout this momentous and im-
portant struggle.—(" They will.") If they talk of re-
. action and long subscriptions, let me ask you to do for me
what you did for Lord Milton in 1807.—(Cheers.) T con-
fess to you we live so far in altered times—l confess we
have not the purses of those days.—(Hear, hear.) No,
gentlemen, I have appealed to the contest of 1807, and I
am happy to be on this occasion backed by the presence of
the eldest son of him who fought and won.—[Here the
Noble Lord introduced Lord Milton to the meeting, who
had come in during his speech, and who was received with
immense cheering.] Gentlemen, all must come flatly after
that. The same then is our cause—the same be our efforts
—and the same be our victory.—(The Noble Lord con-
cluded amidst loud and continued cheering.)
BENJAMIN GOTT, Esq., introduced the Hon. J. Stuart
Wortley, and added that the accession to office of Lord
Morpeth as Irish Secretary, rendered the duties of that
office incompatible with the discharge of his duties as re-
presentative of the West Riding.—( Hisses.)
The Hon. JOHN STUART WORTLEY then presented
himself and was received with considerable disapprobation,
and faint applause. He said his Noble Friend had told
them that Sir Robert Peel's Administration had been
brought to an end, and he would entreat the meeting to
recollect for a few moments the course of affairs during that
short Administration. At the first commencement of that
Session what was the conduct of his Noble Friend and his
party ? Why, after twice lavishing their encomiums upon
the former Speaker as the fittest candidate for that office,
they turned round and proposed the name of another Gen-
tleman, Mr. Abercromby. What was the result ?
( What ! they ousted him !—laughter.) Did England con-
cur with them ?—(Yes, yes !) No, Gentlemen, some
forty or fifty persons, commanded by that well-known indi-
vidual, Daniel O'Connell, and to whom some ill-natured was.
affixed the name of his ".Tail," and with the assistance of his
Noble Friend, Mr. Abercromby was placed in the chair of
the House of Commons.—(Loud cheers.) The next step
was the Address. They proposed an Amendment for the
sake of carrying a division.—( Hisses, and "No, no.") Gra-
cious powers ! What was the imputation upon the Go-
vernment ? It was no imputation upon the advocates of
the Reform Bill or of popular elections. But again came
that phalanx, headed by his Noble Friend, and that well-
known body, the " Tail," and they cast the generous im-
putation upon Sir Robert Peel that he had asked his coun-
trymen to support him.—(Cheers from Mr. Wo rtley's friends.)
That was a severe blow undoubtedly ; but Sir LI Peel felt he
had a duty to perform, and that be was capable of conducting
the affairs of the country ; and he brought forward more
real reforms, and effected more real good in three months
than any other man had done in a much longer period.—
(No, no, and great hissing.) Sir Robert Peel was assailed
night after night, but he dared them to make a direct attack.
But that did not suit their purposes. That did not suit
their politics. But they began to think the question of the
Irish Church would serve their purposes.—(-Hear, hear.)
It was found there were some voters to be c aught by the
surplus revenues in Ireland. Now as respected the appro-
priation of the surplus, Sir Robert Peel was prepared to
prove the fact, that 150,000/. was necessary to support the
clergy, and which Lord John Russell admitted was not too
much ; he thought it was a syllogism of being and surplus
which was not only imaginary but impracticable.—(Hisses.)
He denied that there was any surplus. His Noble Friend
might confine his intention to a liberal appropriation of a
surplus, but it was quite evident that Mr. Spiel, and many
who voted with Vim, contemplated that vote in a very dif-
ferent way, and it was his (Mr. Wortley's) opinion, that
the surplus meant nothing more or less than the appropria-
tion of Protestant Church property in Ireland to the use of
the State.—(Cries of " No, no.") The Hon. Gentleman
then proceeded at some length, and amidst 'great hissing, to
charge Lord Melbourne with having consulted Mr. O'Con-
nell as to the terms upon which that Noble Lord should
take office. After he had proceeded in this way, a general
cry was raised for Mr. Wortley to state his own opi-
nions. The Honourable Gentleman said be had been
asked to state his opinions. What had he been doing
within the last half hour.—(Cries of " N othing.") But,
however, he would allude to Municipal Corporations.—
Undoubtedly, if reform in the corporations was necessary,
he would adopt that reform—(lt won't do.) He had read
the report of the Commission to inquire into corporations,
and he believed there were abuses which reqiciired to be re-
medied. He heard a cry respecting the corn laws. He
believed that a repeal of the corn laws would: be followed by
a reduction in the rates of wages—(No, no ; and shouts of
" Reduce your rents.") His answer was, that a repeal of
the corn laws was not by any means connected with a re-
duction of rents. He firmly believed that a repeal of the
corn laws would lead to some suspension of their foreign
trade, and would tend more to the distress of their agricul-
tural brethren than anything that coutd be devised—
(No, no.)
Mr. CLAPHAM said, as the Honourable Gentleman (Mr.
Wortley) had aspired to the high and important office of
representing the West-riding of Yorkshire, he should, as
one of the electors, take the liberty of proposing to him
one or two questions ; and first,—Do you think that
the national property in Ireland should be paid to cler-
gymen who have no duties to perform, and no congrega-
tions to instruct ?

Mr. WORTLEY.—This question is founded upon a sup-
position that such a state of things prevail in Ireland, that
the clergy are mere sinecurists, without dutios to perform ;
but I deny this being the fact in any great degree. If there
were instances in which there were clergymen without flocks,
such cases might merit the consideration of Parliament ; but
I do not admit, whatever the case maybe, that the Church
property is national property which can be justly appro-
priated to any other object than the support of the Pro-
testant Establishment-.4Faint applause, and louder expres-
sions of disapproval.)
Mr. CLAPHAM—My next question is,—Did you not op-
pose the Reform Bill in all its stages, and thus endeavour
to prevent this and other large towns front enjoying the
elective franchise—(Cries of " Now answer that.")
Mr. WORTLEY.-1 must certainly admit that I did op-
pose the Reform Bill, though not in all its parts, yet in all
its stages ; but at the same time I was always of opinion
that large towns such as Leeds ought to be represented.
He disapproved, however, of the manner in which the
Reform Bill had been forced forwards.—(Shouts of disap-
probation.)
A loud universal call was here made for
Lord MILTON, who was received with the same enthusiastic
cheering with which his father, when Lord Milton was
wont to be received. His Lordship said, I should not
have thought it right, stranger as I am, and a non-elec-
tor, to have presented myself before you on this occasion,
had not your call almost compelled me to come forward.
My only object is to accompany Lord Morpeth in his can-
vass, and to render him what slight service may be in my
power.—(Cheers.)
At the close of the proceedings, three cheers were given
for Lord Morpeth.
After Lord Milton had retired, a general cry was raised
for Mr. Fawkes to come forward, with which that gentle•
man complied.

F. H. FAWKES, Esq. was received with loud applause.
He said, Brother Elections of the West Riding, I ask not
for my Noble Friend the generosity of giving him a fair
trial. No, Gentlemen, I ask much less of you—l ask it
in gratitude to an old friend.—(Cheers.) I think that
justice should take its due precedence, and therefore I call
upon you, in justice to Ireland—in justice to that unhappy
country, which has long been suffering under a system
of Government, which I cannot better describe to you
than in the eloquent language of Lord John Russell—"
system burdensome to Ireland—sanguinary in Ire-
land—disturbing the peace of society, and what is
still worse, injuring that religion which it professes to serve
as its protection." And, Gentlemen, if it is necessary
for me to expect any apathy, there cannot be any when we
look to the distresses of Ireland, if there is any person in-
different—l can scarcely suppose any such there is—if there
is any one who could save himself on this occasion from
using any exertion in securing the return of the Noble
Champ:on of our principles, and would refuse or be tardy in
countersigning that passport which is now offered to you
to sign, and which conveys to Ireland the first Secre-
tary tl.it ever was commissioned by the English Cabi-
net to carry to that suflering country a real peace-of-
fering—I ask you, gentlemen, and I ask him, if you

will permit such a blot to be put upon the character
of reforms, or such a stigma on the character of the
Reform Bill itself—that to the obscure relics of that
rotten and repudiated system—the old borough Parliament,
should be left the honour of having the peace of Ireland,
and, in consequence, to the property of the whole empire.
Mr. Fawkes concluded amidst loud cheers.
The candidates, accompanied by their friends, then re-
paired to the White Cloth Hall. Lord Morpeth having
taken his station on the steps, on the motion of Mr. Ger-
vase Walker, Esq., one cheer was given for his Lordship.
Lord MORPETH said, after some preliminary remarks,
that if Yorkshiremen approve of genuine reforming prin-
ciples, they will not dislike to see the spirit of Reform ap-
plied to the administration of the affairs of Ireland.—
(Cheers.) I have never yet considered it the duty of a pub-
lic officer to repudiate any assistance which might be of-
fered.—(Hear, hear.) It shall always be my duty to do
what is right ; and I no more fear the designs of Mr.
O'Connell than I fear the hostility of my Tory opponent.--
(Great cheers.)
Mr. BAINES being loudly called for, said that the Hon.
Gentleman (Mr. Wortley) had intimated that all the
Members of the House of Commons who voted for the ap-
propriation of the surplus revenues of the Irish Church to
the moral and religious instruction of the youth of Ireland,
without distinction of sect or party, were influenced by fac-
tious motives, and under the control of certain influences,
which he had designated as hostile to the Protestant reli-
gion. He for one had given his vote for the appropriation
of the spare funds of the Irish Church to that purpose, not
from any motives of faction, but from a persuasion that there
was nothing more inimical to the interest of religion than
a bloated sinecure absentee clergy, nor any thing more un-
just than to take the produce of the labours of the peasantry
and farmers of Ireland, to apply to the use of those who
rendered no services to the parishes by which they were
supported. For himself, he had always voted for Sir Ro-
bert Peel's Ministry when they were right, and opposed
them when he thought they were wrong, and he believed he
might say the same for his Noble Friend. His Lordship
was in reality sent as the representative of a conciliatory
and enlightened policy, by which the people of Ireland were
to be governed by the influence of their affections instead
of by the force of the bayonet. In this way 10,000 troops
might be withdrawn from Ireland, and half a million annu-
ally might be saved to the public revenue.—(Cheers.)
The meeting shortly after broke up.
