LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING. AUGUST 29, 1835.

The Church of Scotland occupied the attention of
the House of Lords last night for some time. The
discussion affords a striking instance of the power of
good sense when opposed to the sophistry of faction.
Lord ABERDEEN introduced the subject by a whole-
sale, and not very temperate condemnation of the Com-
missioners, appointed to inquire into the resources of
the Church. The Commissioners, he said, were hostile
to the Church, and there wa::, one of them who had
even written a book—an able and temperate work he ad-
mitted—in which the voluntary principle was advocated !
But the gravamen of the Noble Lord's charge against
the Commission, or rather against those who appointed
it, was that it usurped the rights of the General As-
sembly, which alone had the power of regulating ec-
clesiastical matters in Scotland. The right to en-
quire into tithes he positively denied in the same
breath, because they were not the property of the
Church but of private individuals, as much as the
tithes held by lay implopriators in England.
We have a word or two say to Lord ABERDEEN
on these points, and we must, in the outset, congratu-
late the Church of Scotland on its good for-
tune in numbering, not only among its mem-
bers, but among its ruling elders, a Nobleman so gifted
both by nature and art. We have often heard with
regret, that the Scottish nobility have of late years
shewn an inclination to wander after other Gods, pre-
ferring altars, and " ill-mumbled masses," and all
manner of prelatical abominations, to the pure doctrine
and simple worship of the Presbyterian Church. That
Lord ABERDEEN is not among these backsliders from
the covenanted faith, is alike honourable to his religious
feelings, and to that Athenian taste by which he is so
highly distinguished.
'We have a very sincere respect for the Church of
Scotland. As an Establishment we think it almost a
model, and its ministers, if not so deeply learned as
those of the Church of England, are much more de-
voted to their calling, and therefore more effective as
religious instructors. But religious establishments, be
they ever so skilfully contrived, have a principle inhe-
rent in their very nature, which, from the first moment
of their existence, is at work for their destruction.
They are inflexible. They are founded on the as-
sumption that the human mind is to stand still.
They make no provision for that progressive
improvement, which is as much the law of
the species as it is of the individual ; and, therefore,
though they may be in some measure adapted to the
exigencies of particular periods, they want that elas-
ticity
of constitution by which alone they can keep
pace with the march of mind. The result has uni-
formly been that the people, as they advanced in know-
ledge, have seceded from established Churches, and
formed religious associations for themselves, unfettered
by the trammels of creeds and catechisms. When a
Church finds itself deserted by its own members,
and sees other sects increasing in numbers, it
is not perhaps wonderful that it should overlook
the real cause, and attribute its unpopularity to
circu, •tances which have little or nothing to do
