found in their writings of a more tyrannical, bigoted,
crafty, and dangerous character, than was ever enter-
tained, or sought to be enforced, by that gloomy,
despotic bigot, JAMES the SECOND. And these ob-
noxious tenets the Tractarians uphold, on the plea,
forsooth, that they tend to the increasing and strength-
enimg of the religious spirit in England ! The hypo-
crites ! They may deceive others, but they are not
themselves deceived. Right well they know that re-
ligion--in its more enlightened and elevated sense—
has nothing at all to do with the question of their
heresy, for in all their tracts—all their sermons—all
their pamphlets and addresses, they keep but one ob-

they had had in the counsels and the measures of
which the Chinese expedition was the fortunate com-
plement; and by some:observations on the true policy,
as well as equity, of not exacting extreme terms from a
languished enemy, which the moralist will advocate
with enthusiastic earnestness, and the statesman may
study with singular advantage. In our view of the
case, it is the crowning felicity, as well as honour of
Sir HENRY POTTINGER, practically to have exempli-
fied that moderation, the theory of which has found so
eloquent and accomplished an exponent as Lord
PALMERSTON.

ject in view—namely, the restoration, and this scarcely
even in a mitigated form, of the old Catholic ascen-
dancy. Surely it is high time that the people should
begin actually to bestir themselves against the in-
sidious encroachments of Tractarianism ! Delay
serves only to disseminate the evil, and add to its
virulence and power:—

We regret to find from the Madrid journals of the
sth instant that the accounts of the hurricane and
earthquake at Cuba, which appeared in the papers
some days since, are confirmed. Subscriptions are
in progress at Madrid for the relief of the sufferers.
The Quzmw had contributed 60,000 reals, the Qua lx-
MOTHER 20,000, and each of the Ministers 1,000
reals. In the Chamber of Deputies the Finance Ali-
nister brought in a Bill for the maintenance of the
clergy, and proposed a vote of 159,000,000 reals.
The Gazette contains- a royal ordonnance, signed by
General NAIXAEZ, depriving General CASTANRDA of
his rank, titles, and decorations, as an accomplice of
ZURBANO.

" Principiis obsta sero medecina paratur,
Cutn mala per longas convaluere moras."

The Tractarians are an artful, intelligent, and, to a
certain extent, influential body of zealots, whose
efforts are exclusively directed to the supremacy of
the priesthood, and bringing the people, as of yore,
under the yoke of their uncontrolled, irresponsible
dominion. They must, then, be boldly and promptly
grappled with; and, if necessary, the QUEEN —as
Head of the Church and Defender of the Faith—

There are accounts to Oct. 10 from Graham's Town,
Cape of Good Hope. They advise the appearance of
locusts in the Colesberg districts, and the committal of
great ravages, whole crops having been destroyed in one
or two instancei. It is stippled 'these destructive in-
sects had come from some warmer climate, no young
being among them. The new Governor was altering the
frontier system; and had already extended much better
protection to the bOrder farmers against Kafir outrages,
The weather is so severe that the Thames, near St.
Katherine Docks, was entirely frozen over. Navigation
has been, in consequence, suspended, to a very greet
extent.

.RADFORD.---HIGII eIIU'RCH circum-
stance has just occurred here which has excited tt good
deal of interest'. The Rev. J. H. Bradney, who has
officiated gratuitously for the last three years at the New
Church, has just terminated his labours, to the great
regret of his parishioners, by whom he is much be-
loved. • The Rev. Mr. Erle, who is appointed curate,
a very young• man, has succeeded him, and in his first
sermon after full ordination, carried out his now fully
developed Christian sentiments by dealing damnation
to all Dissenters. On the afternoon of the same day,
the Rev. J. H. Bradney took; occasion to deprecate the
tone and temper adopted by the curate in the morning,
stating that he looked on all men as brethren, and on
Dissenters, if good men, in quite as favourable a light
as Churchmen. We hear that the Bishop sent for both
sermons, and that, to the surprise of all well-thinking
men, he intimated, through the vicar, to Mr. Bradney,
that if he did not change his opinions as to Dissenters,
he must leave the Church ! His farewell sermon was
preached last Sunday, before a crowded audieece, who
were much affected by the thoughts of losing their
loved 'and respected pastor. The address made a deep
impression, and will long be remembered by all who
heard it. We are rejoiced to hear that Mr. Bradney,
although he has ceased to officiate at the New Church,
intends.to remain among us, and to act, as heretofore.
in his magisterial capacity.—Frorp a Correspondent of i
the Wiltshire Independent.
