" TO THE NEW-MADE CHRISTIAN."

Ts it possible that Priests and people calling them-
selves Protestants, can thus be ,the subjects of su-

perstition—notorious, and much as l value our
Establishment, I do lament that such a relict of
popery should be retained. I would propose, as
so limendment, to what CLerucus has recoil,-
)(led, that children should be dedicated in so-
lemn prayer unto the Great Supreme, and that
their relatives, friends, or guardians be e.dmo-
nshed to briug them up in the Christian Reli-
gion, to love the brotherhood, to fear God, to
honour the King, and all that are in authority
under him. To leave off sprinkling or dipping, or
1-narking the sign - of the Cross—and leave .gut
god fathers and god-mothers, repentance, faith,
renunciation, anti obedience by proxy, and re-
gtneration or new birth by Baptism ; and as the
children grow up to understand the truths of Re-
ligion for themselves, believe and walk worthy
the Christian name—then let them be baptized
should they require it. Thus, Sir, would the ob-
jections cease, a sad delusion vanish, and we
sbUilld be cunsistent with our high profession.

marriage with the I'ri►►cess ll>ii la Josephine Ante-
lia niece of the King of Saxony.
" BAYREUTH, AUG. i;).—T-he're. is a report of
very important arrangements having been agreed
upon at Tceplitz, the effect of which will, ere
long, be made manifest.
" DRESDEN, AUG. 13.—1 t appears, that the
Commission appointed at Berlin by order of.
the Prince de Hardenberg, to examine with the
greatest care all the Papers seized, and other
written documents obtained by the Ministry,
have made a detailed report to the Prince, and
that this examination has produced the most con-
soling results, there being no man of any influ-
ence implicated in the secret associations existing
in Germany, nor is it the object of these societies
to revolutionize Germany.
" It is true, as it is said, that there exist
presumptions more or less strong against several
of the individuals who have been arrested,
telto,.e Papers have been seized; hot these pre-
sumptions are not of a nature that the iudivi-
dusts can, according to law, be put in a state of
accusation.

" Thus, the opinion of many impartial per-
sOns is confirmed, Who thought it next to impos-
slide, that' a political conspiracy could exist so
vast as }hat pretended to have been formed in
Germany for the overthrow of the Established
Governments, and the forming instead one
Central Government.

" There are, however, in Prussia, as in other
States of Germany, assemblies for political dis-
cussions, in which the Students mingle."

Grest bustle and confusion pervades the Stock
Exchange this morning, it being the day for set-
tling the Acconnts. TWO more defaulters were
declared one of them a mat; of some consequence
in the City, who is a Bahr to the amount of
-E GOO,OOO, Consol3, at ti:vel,e o'clock, were at
711 to Omnium beats no fixed price.

We stated yesterday that au examination bad
taken place at the flume Department, in conse-
quence of the outtageohs Letter from Sir FRANCIS
BURDETT, addressed to Mr. BROOKS, as Chair-
man of the Westminster Burdett Committee, and
communicated by the latter to some of the Op-
position Journals.—Mr. BROOKS at this examina-
tion acknowledged that the Letter was addressed to
him, and that he had sent it to the Public Prints ;
but declined to give up the original without advice,
and solicited time to give a decided answer. He
.
was allowed to decide this day, but it is said that
he is allowed to give his answer on Monday.
We heartily agree with The illorrtin Post of this
day, that Mr. Beocnts is " an honest fair-dealing
man," and we have often regretted, that so respec-
table an individual should have suffered himself
so long to be involved in the trammels of Party. It
is not to be supposed, that Sir F. Iin4DIITT Will
Starer this Geutleman to be exposed to any diflicol-
ties on his account, which must be the case, unless
lie is permitted by the Baronet to place the (It i-
gine' Letter in the hands of Government. We
arc reluctant to make any comments on the Letter,
except to observe, that it is hardly possible that
such a Letter could have been published in Ame-
rica or any Government, however free, with-
out subjecting the author to notice, if not punish-
ment. At all events,' it may be considered as
very hasty, rash, iiliberal, and unjust, since it
must have been written at a time when it
must have been impossible for the Author to have
obtained an authentic statement of the, wy,!c' pro-
ceedings atiklanchester, and consequently to know
how far the Magistrates and Yeomanry Cavalry
were justified hi the measures which they adopted,
and since it is abundantly evident that if they
had not adopted such measures, the most dread-
ful cot `Lequences might be expected from the
heated imaginations of a vast and most for-
midable multitude, inflamed as they probably
would have been by incendiry Ringleaders, if the
Meeting had not dispersed on the approach of the
Yeomanry Cavalry. The disasters that happened
are deeply to be lamented, but they were inevit-
able, and mie,ht have been expected to he mach
treater, considering the obstinacy, and the bru-
tal outrages committed by some of the
.Mob; and
they may be deemed light indeed compared with
what would probably have taken place if the
flagitious Agitators had been suffered to proceed
without interruption, and the Mob bad been de-
tained till the Orators had worked up their pas-
sions to the due pitch of Instirrectiton, Rebellion,
and Ifoiversal Havoc.

We find, on inquiry', that though time was allow-
ed to Mr. Bitooics to consider whether he would
give up the Author of the Letter, yet we have
tint heard that the time has been really extended
till Monday, as stated in a Morning Paper.

Letters were received yesterday from Cadiz to
!he tith instant, and from Madrid to the tildi of
May. They slate that the alarm reioectitlg- the
plague bad ai a great [measure subsided.
