OCTOBER CIRCITLAR, 1850.
We would remind the public that all TEA, bad or good, the
best or the most worthless, pays an uniform duty of ss. '214(1. per lb.,
and is necessarily,ubject to equal charges for freight. porterage,
wharfage, dock dues, &c., consequently the commonest is much
heavier taxed. in proportion to its real or marketalde value, than
either the medium or tne finest class Teas: Thus,- common Congou
costs in Canton onl3 7,1. to Bd. per lb., but before it reaches the
English comunner it pays in duty and charges no less than 400 per
cent. ; the medium class Tea, which costs 12h• to 15d. per lb., aver-
ages in duty and charges notmore than 2t12 per cent. ; whilst the
finest class Ten,, winch cost in China roar times the price of the
commoner, piy no more -than 100 per cent. It must be apparent
the-, wi h a fixed charge of 2s. 6d. per lb. upon all 1 ea, mere price
alouc is no criterion of either good value or'cbenoness ; and we espe-
c!elly dirkt the attention of those who are s)lieqc us to economise
their expenditure that they voluntarily tax themselves double or
quadruWe what they have any necessity for doing by putchising
inferior Teas.

the operations in the Rio de la *Plata, from October,
1806, until his return to England •with Lieutenant-Ge-
neral Whitelocke, in September, 1807, including the
capture of Maldonado and the Island of Goritti. He
also took, April 4, 1808, L'Actif. French privateer, of 14
guns; united with Cant. Manby, of the Thalia, 36, in a sup-
posed porsiiit of two French frigates to'the coast of Labra-
dor, whence he returned after experiencing for three
Months the greatest privations; captured January 6 and
14, 1810, the privateers L'Aventure of 14 guns and 82
men, and L'Hirond.lle, of 14 guns and 75 men; and, in
the summ,:r of 1812, was repeatedly noticed in the dis-
patches of Sir George Collier for his efficacious support
of the patriotic cause on the north coast of Spain, where
be particularly contributed to the reduction of Le-
queytio and Guetaria. He afterwards commanded, from
May 15, 1828, until 1831, the Windsor Castle, 76, on
the Mediterranean station; was appointed colonel of
warino, July 22, 1830; attained the rank of rear-ad-
miral, January 10, 1837; was lastly employed, from

DISTILLING SALT WATER INTO PRESR._FOr the
last two years the newspapers have teemed with ac-
counts from our men of war of the success which has at-
tended the fitting of Mr. Grant's galley for the purpose
of distilling sea water into fresh, for the consumption of
the ships' campanies, and of the readiness of the Ad-
miralty on moat occasions in bringing forward steamers
fur service, to have the distilling-galley placed on board.
As the Hogue, 60, screw guard-ship, will be some time
in the hands of the engineers of Portsmouth-yard, it
would be most advisable if Mr. Grant's distilling-galley
was fitted to her. It would be eminently serviceable in
many respects in the Hogue. When stored this vessel is
too deep in the water; but had she the distitling-galley,
she might dispense with some of the weight she carries.
At present she only stows ninety-two tuns of water;
and, in consequence, directly she goes to sea, the crew
aro put on a small allowance, a disagreeable and un-
pleasant thing, especially when they are kept on salt pro-
visions. We may remark that, so lung as seven years ago
the Admiralty commenced fitting distilling apparatus
to our steamers; but no plan has answered so well as
Mr. Grant's. Our Portsmouth correspondent, in yes-
terday's communication, adds:—" By letters recently re-
ceived from the Reynard screw-sloop, Commander Cra-
croft, it appears that Mr. Grant's distilling galley has
now been in constant use on board that vessel for
the last two years, and that it has answered in every
particular. The Reynard's crow have been particularly
healthy, which is solely attributable to the wholesome
distilled water. The deleterious character of the water
received by the British men-of-war at Hong• Kong and
ether places is well known. The Reynard, when the
letter was written, was perfectly healthy, but two sloops
of war were lying near her with much dysentery and
low fever on board." While speaking of Mr. Grant's
galley we may mention that we have heard it suggested
that the distilling galley now on board the Termagant,
screw-frigate, in ordinary, could be easily &hilted from
that vessel to the Hogue, whereby her comfort and
qualities would be materially improved.
Bellerophon, 78, Captain Baynes, C. 8., and Mariner,
12, Commander Mathison, have both been paid eff at
Devonport by Mr. Henderson. The Styx sailed with
those who wished to avail themselves of a passage for
Portsmouth ou We(lneeday evening, in charge or Mr.
Brown, master of the St. George, and arrived at Poits-
mouth yestrr.iay morning ; and the Sprightly steam-
tender, Mater Commander Allen, left Ports:nen:li on

was docked on Tuesday, went out again on Wednesday
morning, and was masted, and is being rigged by the
dockyard with dispatch. This brig has had a thorough
repair, and was only eeppered about seven months
back. When taken into dock on Tuesday some of her
copper sheets were so much deteriorated that it was ne-
cessary to shift about 30. Ziurely this copper must be
of a very inferior manufacture; it ought almost to last
as many years as it has mouths. Many of her other',
sheets were much pock-marked—always a bad sign. On

ITHE REV. DR. CUMMING ON THE
TEACHING OF CARDINAL WISENIAN.
A lecture was delivered yesterday in the Hanover-
square Rooms by the Rev. Dr. Cumming, to show
that " the Teaching of Cardinal Wiseman is the best
Reason of Protest against his Intrusion as Arch-
bishop of -Westminster." The lecture was delivered
at the request of the Society for Promoting the Reli-
gious Principles of the Reformation. Much anxiety
was evinced by all classes to hear it, and in cense-
quence there was a great pressure for places. Long
before the hour appointed for the commencement of
the lecture the room was densely crowded, whilst all
the passages and staircases were filled by parties, both
male and female, who found it physically impossible
to obtain any better position. In fact, we never ob-
served a more general desire to unite in a demonstra-
tion of sympathy upon any great public question.
On the platform we observed Admiral Harcourt,
Sir Philip Malcolm, Sir John Maxwell, Bart., Mr.
Henry Pownall, and a great number of clergymen of
all denominations.
Admiral HARCOURT was called to the chair, and
after some introductory observations the Gallant
Officer referred to the charge recently delivered by
the Bishop of London, which he said reflected infinite
honour upon that distinguished prelate. It was a
charge which eminently called upon the clergy to
struggle manfully against inward disease and out-
ward corruption in spiritual affairs. Ile strongly
condemned the intrusion by the Pope of Rome into
this country of a hierarchy which denied the supre-
macy of the Crown, and ignored the existence of the
Church of England. The people of England would
never serve the purposes of an aggressive church and
a foreign priesthood. He had only one fear upon the
subject. It was lest the excitement, which was now
very considerable, might pass away. The work would
not be done by simply attending meetings for a short
time. On the contrary, Popery could only be rooted
out, under God, by every individual, in his own
sphere, trying to circulate the truth as revealed in the
Scriptures, and to promote the religious principles of
the Reformation.—(Cheers.)
Dr. CUMMING then presented himself, and his ap-
pearance elicited repeated bursts of applause. The Rev.
Doctor said that, on the one hand, he must express his
regret that so much inconvenience should be caused
by the pressure to hear what he had to say ; but, on
the other hand, he could not avoid expressing his gra-
titude to God that the popularity of Cardinal Wise-
man had brought so great a body of Protestants to-
gether to protest against his assumption of an autho-
rity in this land for which he had no claim whatever.
—(Hear.) He could not better commence his lec-
ture than by reading what, in his opinion, was one of
the most memorable documents that ever proceeded
from high ofiicial authority at any period, or under
any crisis in the history of this country. He alluded to
the noble Protestant and truly faithful letter which
Lord John Russell had just addressed to the Bishop
of Durham—(Loud cheers)—a document which,
indeed, he only expected from his Lordship, knowing,
that he held the principles which were therein so elo-
quently and powerfully embodied—and a document
which gave the crowning blow to the mighty and
successful efforts of the daily metropolitan press to
appreciate the crisis, and to rouse the sympathies of
Protestants against any unjustifiable invasion. It
would be supererogatory to read the whole of the Noble
Lord's admirable letter , but there was one part of
it which he had read with delight, and which he
was sure would give intense satisfaction to the meet-
r,,.tud rcrerier sTS‘ Lordship ')'
-then stated
this subject, " The present state of the I kw shall be
carefully examined, and the propriety of adopting
any proceedings with reference to the resent as:nurnp-
tions a power deliberately considered."— (Hear, hear.)
Ile (Dr. Cumming) had not the slightest doubt that
this would be done ; and he would only add on this
part of the subject, that such a sentiment came with
the greater grace from a nobleman so distinguished
as Lord John Russell, after having advocated, as he
had, what were called the " Claims of 1829," than
from any who, despised as prophets at the time, but
who were now found to have been faithful and true
advisers, thought the Emancipation Act was not so
desirable as some supposed it to be.—(Hear.) Lord
John Russell added—" Clergymen of our own
Church, who have subscribed the Thirty-nine Ar-
ticles, and acknowledged in explicit terms the Queen's
supremacy, have been the most forward in leading
their flocks step by step to the very verge of the
precipice.' The honour paid to saints, the claim of
infallibility for the Church, the superstitious use of
the sign of the cross, the muttering of the Liturgy so
as to disguise the language in which it is written, the
recommendation of auricular confession, and the ad-
ministration of penance and absolution—all these
things are pointed out by clergymen of the
Church of England as worthy of adoption, and
are now openly reprehended by the Bishop
of London in his charge to the clergy
of his diocese." Here, he believed, was the real
secret of the invasion made upon this country by the
Pope. Even the cholera did not strike its victims
unless there was a contaminated air to act as its con-
ductor; and Cardinal Wiseman would never have
dreamt of coming into the midst of us if it had not
been represented to the Pope that the atmosphere of
England was morally tainted, so that he might expect
to meet with universal success.—(Hear,' hear,) But
those to whom this taint was owing had been, as the
Premier said, openly reprehended by the Bishop of
London in his charge to the clergy of his diocese ;
and he was bound to add that the Bishop's answer to
the address of the clergy of Westminster was a docu-
ment which entitled him to the gratitude of every
minister and laymen in his diocese —(Hear, hear.)
In the present lecture he laid claim to no greater ap-
prehension of the crisis than was felt by thousands of
his brethren in London; but he believed there might
be a possibility of the tide of "indignation," which
had just set in with such force and strength, running
in a wrong direction.—(Bear, hear.) It was just
possible that we might,,in our hatred to this gross in-
vasion, fly to the extremity of renewing pains and
penalties which were not expedient, or engage in a
proscriptive, persecuting, and merely political course,
which would be attended with no practical advantage.
He begged to say, that in the remarks he was
about to make he entertained no personal
hostility to " his Eminence the Cardinal,"
as he assumed to be, " of Westminster."
Cardinal Wiseman was a distinguished scho-
lar; he was also a most accomplished scientific
writer; and any one acquainted with his works upon
science and religion would be ready to own that he
was a scholar of the very highest order in his peculiar
departments. But it must not be supposed that the
fact of his being a perfect scholar afforded a pre-
sumption that he was also a perfect theologian or a
true Christian.—(Hear, hear.) Nor had be any de-
sire to interfere with the rights and privileges of his
Roman Catholic fellow-countrymen ; but he went—
along with his fellow-subjectse—ta protest that Car-
dinal Wiseman, whilst entitled to all the rights of a
citizen, had no right, at the dictation of a foreign po-
tentate, and that potentate an Italian priest, to parcel
out England into Popish dioceses, and to claimd
as
all
baptized men as the subjects of___
ehis power a
obnoxious to his jurisdiction.—(H art hear.) But he
would not consider this visitor in red in the character
of a cardinal at all, though he assumed to be a cardi-
nal—that was, a temporal prince ; because if a fo.
reign temporal prince meddled with the rights and
Sovereign, and
judging from jurisdiction of our most gracious
Lord John Russell's letter
privileges
and from the temperament of the country, he would
meet with such a resistance as would convince him
that his master had perpetrated a great blunder in
sending him. He would rather treat him (being
a minister of the Gospel himself) as a clergyman
and as an archbishop professing to teach certain
doctrines and to inculcate certain lessons,
wishing to ascertain by severe analysis whether
Westminster would be very much benefited by getting
rid of the ministers who now instructed it, and super-
seding them by the instructions of " his Eminence
the Cardinal Archbishop." But, as he had already,
said, he should never advise persecution, for persecu-
tion never convinced, much less converted, any man.
But it always raised a sympathy with the persecuted
person. It had been said that, as we should not send
a Protestant bishop to Rome to convert the Pope and
his adherents, therefore the Pope should not send
bishops to this country. But he did not hold with
any such compromise. plo compact should be male

with Rome. However much they might carry ou_
free trade in everything else, there ought to be none
with Rome.— (Cheers.) It might be worth while to
inquire what had been the practical effects of the
teaching of the Pops himself and his caielinals upon
their own ground in their own city.—(Hear, hear.)
In 1848 a great convulsion shook Europe to its very
centre. It had been found that in Rome there was
one ecclesiastic of one sort or other to every thirty of
the /male, and that there was a priest to every sixty
or seventy of the population. Now, if the doctrines
of the Church of Rome were so precious, there Vtl',.. 3
mo=t splendid opportunity ef developing their effects,
and of trying th,ir fruits in what eras called
"the capital of the Christian world." If Popery
had failed in Rome. and he contended that
it had manifestly failed, such a result was
owing, not to any want of hands to wcrk. it, or of
priests to represent it, but to some inherent fl tev in
the system. On the other hand, looking over Lon-
don, there was not one minister, of any denomina-
tion, to ten thousand of the people ; and it might,
perhaps, be argued that Protestantism had failed in
this metropolis, because it was not adequately repre-
sented and effectually carried out and brought home
to the hearts and consciences of the people. What,
then, had been the results of the two systems ? In
the first place, when the revolution broke out, in
1848, the subjects of the Pope in the city, which was
the model city of the world, were moved ; and what
was the conduct of the Vicar of Christ, and those
whom he instructed ? Why, when the first vibrations
of the political earthquake were felt at Rome, his be-
loved subjects rose en masse, his Prime Minister was
murdered before his face, and he was dismissed in a
footman's livery upon a coachman's bcx ; and judging
from facts which had since transpired, the people were
the last to wish him back again.—(Hear.) But what,
on the other hand, had taken place in London ? The
same wave that swept over Rome reached the metropolis
of Old England. A few crotchetty men thought to
disturb the capital in the hope of obtaining their
crotchets; but, be would ask whether that which took
place showed that our Protestantism was inadequately,
represented? Not at all; whole masses of English-
men rose as one man to put down the crotchets of
troublesome men, and he himself saw them rally
round the flag of our country, and heard them sing
spontaneously, " Long live the Queen."—(Cheers.)
If our Protestantism made us do this, it was worth
keeping, and if the Cardinal's teaching produced the
results described in Rome, he would ask whether it
was worth having ?—(Cheers.) But the controversy
must not be that of person against person, or church
against church ; it must be that of light against dark-
ness, that of freedom against slavery, that of the reli-
gious rights of this country against the spiritual des-
potism of the Pope of Rome. Viewing the controversy
in this light he should proceed to notice " the teaching
of Cardinal Wiseman—the best reason of protest
against his intrusion as Archbishop of Westminster."
In the first place, when the Cardinal was made Arch-
bishop and received the pallium, he repeated a solemn
I oath in Latin, which was to be found in the Pontifi-
cale Romanum, and which, being translated, is as
follows :—"All heretics (that was Protestants) and
schismatics (that was the Greek Church) I will prose-
cute and attack to the utmost of my power ( pro
posse)." The following was a curse the Cardinal was
LP use if a parent, attempted to remove a child who
had, against his parent's will, entered the service of
the church :—" May he be cursed in his home and
out of his home. May be be cursed in watching and
sleeping ; in eating and drinking—walking and
sitting. May his flesh and bones be corrupted. May
there light on him the curse which the Lord sent by
Moses. May his named be razed from the Book of
the Living," and so on.—(The audience were so dis-
gusted with the terms of this horrible anathema, that
the Rev. Gentleman was unable to conclude it.) Such
was the' cursing of Cardinal Wiseman, as printed in his
own document, and Which, when he had the pro posse,
he would pronounce with all the accompaniments.
But he would show the actual teaching of the car-
dinal from the books he approved, the principles he
professed, and which be commended to the study and
adoption of priests and others in his diocese. There
was a saint, St. Alphonsus Ligouri, who was cano-
nized by the Pope, that was enrolled among the saints
in Heaven, in 1839. This saint had a breviary and
missal, containing a prayer, which every Roman Ca-
tholic was bound to read on the 2d of August, 1851,
that God would be pleased to enable him to follow
ene
tor tu eerilies r eeeseeetsueiseneson Tat mucuiailgtn, from a
Life published by Dr. Wiseman, in the course of
which he recommended a variety of practices, and as-
serted a number of dogmas most repugnant to Pro-
testant notions. The passages read related to the
doctrine of mental reservation, venial lying, oaths,
theft, the worship of saints, the intercession of the
Virgin, confession, and other branches of Roman
Catholic faith. It had been stated by the Protestants
that the Roman Catholics did not permit the Catholics
to read the Bible, but that was not so. They allowed
the peasants of ENgland to read the Scriptures in
French, the French peasants to read it in Dutch, and
the Dutch peasants to read in Russian ; they, in
fact, allowed them to read it in any language
but that which they understood.—(Cheers and laugh-
ter.) By the doctrines of the Roman Catholic
Church it was lawful to equivocate with heretics—to
deny the truth and bear false witness—in short, they
allowed every departure from the moral law, and those
doctrines were inculcated by the moral theology of
the Church of Rome, which Cardinal Wiseman was
bound to support and to teach. He had now ex-
plained the doctrines held by Cardinal Wiseman,
which he was not ashamed to avow and proclaim as
the truth. He did not, however, call upon them to
detest the man, but only to shrink with horror from
the principles which he avowed. It was his (Dr.
Cumming's) strong conviction that the Pope had in
this matter made a grievous blunder, infallible though
he was. Pius had been feeling the pulse of the Pro-
testantism of England. Because it was calm he
thought it wee weak ; because it was silent he thought
it was indifferent. The Pope imagined that
Old England was so cold that it would
.bear a curdle
nal ; but he would find in six weeks that it would not
bear a monk—(Elear) —and if he might judge from
the manly spirit exhibited in the Prime Minister's let-
ter, it would not endure even a Puseyite. The ap-
pearance of a cardinal in the capital had had something
like the effect produced by the appearance of the
French flotilla off Boulogne.The one roused the loyalty
of England, the other stirred up its Protestantism,
and under it both Puseyism and Popery would dis-
appear. We had got the real thing now, and wanted
no sham Popery. If the comparative merits of the
two churches were to be tested by the splendour of a
ritual, by the gorgeousness of robes, or by the gran-
deur of the service,, then he solemnly believed that
St. Barnabes -in-the-West would be swallowed up by
St. George-in-the-East.—(Hear, hear.) But this
aggression would do much to unite us all. In such a
case Churchmen could not afford to do without the
Dissenters, and he told the Dissenters that they could
not afford to do without the Church. A crisis was
coming, which would demand the combined and
faithful efforts of all. The Pope had parcelled out
England, but, strange enough, he had not meddled
with Scotland. Whether or not the Pope thought it
sufficient to have only one cardinal, he knew not; but
he could not help suspecting that John Knox had done
more good than they gave him credit for, and that the
days were coming when John Knoxes would be want-
ing. At the same titne, he believed that the sections
of the Protestant Church differed only in ceremonial
details, and that they agreed in all that was essential.
All their churches were the planting of the Lord.
Each grew in its own native soil ; all their branches
shot in the same unsectarian air; all their fruits
ripened in the seine Catholic sun ; and the roots
blended with each other in the soil, invisible to us,
but all cohered in faith and love. Let them, then, be
brethren in arms, and rivals only in renown. Let
them take for their guide that part of the Bishop of
London's letter to the Westminster clergy wherein
he stated with great force and truth, that the Pope
was not the centre of unity, but that the centre of
unity was the Lord Jesus Christ.—(Hear.) Let
them keep to that definition. They might even learn
a lesson from this aggression. As in the Church of
Rome they were made to forget their differences, and
all were told to cleave to the chair of St. Peter and
look to the Pope, so in the Protestant Church we
must forget all differences and believe only in the
L unb of God that taketh away the sins of the world.
Uniformity, depend upon it, was not God's law.
A tailor could produce uniformity by cutting
all our coats exactly alike ; but the unity
of the living God could only be produced by
changing the heart itself. Wherever there was
life there was unity, but not uniformity ; and wher-
ever there was death there was uniformity, but not
unity. Let them, therefore, make common cause in
protesting against Rome, and in upholding Protestant
and Bible Christianity.—(Cheers.) Preferring each
their own ecclesiastical communion, let them unite
together against the common enemy, who had dared
to parcel out England as if it were a colony of Rome,
and he would say down with the tiara and up with
the old flag of England and the Queen's
,Crown.-7
(Loud and long-continued cheering.) He ci.epreca,.ed,
as the Prime Minister had, the example of men like
Mr. Denison—(Hear, hear)—"d
he
begged to say
that if jurisdiction depended upon the mere inter pre
