DERBY COUNTY MEETING.

Ma..Eol.cort--"-As you will probably receive
for insertion an account of the Public_ Meeting
held at ihrhy. this day, the Requisitionists pre-
sent, with Myself, feel, it our duty' to send you a
literal statement of ;what took place upon that
occasion, which we defy any person- present to
contradict. ~

A Requisition for a County Meeting was most
numerously and respectably signed for the ‘C sole
purpose of assuring his MAJESTY of. our loyalty,
and unalterable attachment to our glorious Con-
stitution." It was the most earnest wish of those
who framed the Address founded upon this Re-
quisition, to avoid the insertion of a single word
which could justifiably provoke political difference
or discussion; and so far from intending to express
any sentiment Which would be objectionable to
any person 'of common loyalty, we solemnly de-
clare, that if we had heard that his MAJESTY
had called other Ministers to his Councils, we
shoUld'haVe been equally anxious to make this
public expreSsion of our principles, which were
intended as a contrast to those detestable opi-
nions which are so zealously and generally incul—.
Cated by traitors and revolutionists, and whicit
tend not only to bring the Throne and the Le-
gislature, not only the Aristocracy and Gentry
without any exception of party, but even the
Judgment Seat and the Altar into contempt an&
degradation.
We entered the County Hall with an Address
in, strict unison with these principles,,when im-
mediate uproar and confusion commenced with-
nut intermission, and the attempts of the Higit
Sheriff himself to restore order Were utterly
fruitless. It is but justice to the Duke of DE-
VONSHIRE to declare, that he exerted himself. to
the utmost to procure a hearing for the Mover
and Seconder of the Address, but in vain.
The Requisitionists did me the honouk to, name
me to propose the Address„and I did ultimateLy
offer a few words to the Meeting, which were
utterly inaudible, and not one word of the Address
could be collected but by the immediate bystanders.
His Grace the Duke of DEVONSHIRE. then came
forward, and an immediate hearing was obtained.
for him. He proposed an amended Address, the
matter of which was totally extraneous to the
" sole object" for which the Meeting was called.
The clamour was so much increased upon the in-
troduction of the QUEEN'S name, that all appeal
to argument was utterly hopeless, and the Re-
quisitionists, and those Gentlemen who were
prepared to support the Address, were ulti-
mately . compelled to withdraw to another place,
for the' purpoSe of entering their solemn Protest
against such disgraceful and riotous preiceedings,
and of drawing up an Address to his, MAJEsTY
in the precise words of the original Address,
which we earnestly invite all loyal and well
affected persons to sanction by their signatures.
I am, Sir, your obedient Servant,
GY.O. CREWE,
Ch»irman of a Meeting of the Requisitionists,
held at this place immediately alter retiring
from the County Hall.

MONUMENT TO SHAKSPEARE.—A general meet-
ing of the inhabitants of Stratford-on-Avon and
its neighourhood was held on the lgth' ult. to con-
sider the propriety of erecting at Stratford a Na-
tional Monument in the form of a Theatre, to the
memory of the "Bard of Avon." A Committee
was appointed to digest a plan, who are to
correspond with a Loudon Committee ; the
celebrated Mr. Mathews, with Mr. Bunn,
Manager of the Birmingham Theatre,. and.
Mr. Crisp, Manager of the Cheltenham and
other Theatres, addressed the meeting at some
length, and appeared very zealous for the exe-
cution of the design. It is thought that ample
funds will be found; his Majesty's patronage is
confidently expected. Mr. Bunn informed, the
Meeting, that the very spot on which Shakspeare
spent his latter days, and breathed his last, was
now to be bought. It appeared that a piece of
ground about. 85 feet by. 45 feet was necessary,
and this identical piece precisely corresponds with
such exigency.

Simplicity of a
.Female Prisoner.--The late
Counsellor E n, Chairman of the Quarter Ses-
sions of-the Co. Dublin, was so rernarkablefor his
lenity to Women, that a female prisoner was seldom
convicted in his Court. During the time the hu-
mane Barrister presided,a prim-looking woman was
put to the bar of the Commission Court, at which
presided the equally humane, though, perhaps,
not so gallanl, Baron S—. She was indicted for
uttering forged Bank-notes. According to usual
form of law, the Clerk of the Crown asked the
prisoner if she was ready to take her trial ? 'With
becoming disdian, she answered, No'.—She was
told by the Clerk,she must 'give her reasons why.
As if scorning to hold conversation with the
fellow, she thus, addressed his Lordship—
"My Lord, I won't be tried here at all. I'll
be tried by my Lord E ." The simplicity of
the woman, coupled with the well-known charac-
ter of E .caused a roar of laughter in the
Court, which even the Bench could not re-
sist. Baron S , with his usual mildness,
was about to explain the impossibility of her being
tried,by the popular Judge,and said---" lle Can't
try you—," when the woman stopped him short,
and with an inimitable sneer, exclaiined=7-" Can't
try me ! 1 beg your pardon, my Lord, *e tried
me twice before." She was tried, however; and
for the third time acquitted

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

[DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS.;

• [Morning Post.]
The Spanish Revolution appears to be pursuing the course
'whrch, we fear, will be that followed by all Revolutions, till
the gra:,.l example of 1789 shall be, forgotten. 't he party
raised to power by what they professed to think " the voice
of the people," are pressed upon by the -same means, and by
the Pame pietelices, with which they pressed upon others.
The revolutionary wheel, which might have advantageously

•topped at a certain point, is mot to cease its motion because
its fist impeller's have been satisfied-there are yet thou-

4nccessions of thousands, who can talk as loudly
as they di.: ;--a new Ministry is their .present ostensible,ob-
ject, instead of that elevateil by themselves a few months
s;nce; ar►d the demand is expected to prevail. How many
weeks will elapse before something more revolutionary will be
cslled far than this second class of Revolutionists? The Span-

Constitution, it is now pretty certain, is incapable of sta-
hi:ity. it would hut effect wrong and then he torpid—if it
would but transfer property from its owners, to adventurers,
and then becoine sedate—there would, we know, be a pretence
f,tr praising it, and the consciences of the abettors of such con-
vulsions might be easily induced to describe it as another" stu-
pendous monument of human wisdom." But happily for hu-
man nature it is so ordered, that there is no tenacity in evil
confederacies, no permanence in their acquisitions. The over-
throwers are'overthrown, the plunderers are plundered, be-
cause their own system cannot be stopped, where they please ;
their own arts are zt easy to others as to themselves; the
wheel, which they put in motion, is impelled by successions of
political agitators from the same extensive school : it is not to
bestayed, though the first may be at the top; the cry "'fire
Revolution is at end" becomes treason in itself; the Revo-
lution is never at an end, while there remain any unsatisfied
Revolutionists. •

Another string of resolutions in favour of.that paragon of
-virtue.gnd female delicacy; the gentle Caroline, was yesterday
moved by Mr. Farell and adopted by the Court of Common
Council. On. these a petition is framed, and is to be pre-
sented to Parliament, calling for the insertion of her Majes-
ty's name in the Liturgy, and the restoration of. all her
rights as Queen. Consort. The subject is so exhausted that
we should be little tempted to enlarge on it were' it in able
bands, hut when decided upon by such men as Mr.
Emil, Mr. Vaithwan, and their ignorant followers, in
t:ie Court of Common Council, it is too much for gravity;
and we would rather their arguments should pass for unan-
swerable, than take upon ourselves.the toil of seeking for
lierir to give them our answer. 'Ere character of the Fac-
tiurt that predominates there is so well known that the Reso-
lutons adopted can do little mischief. On the present occa-
sion, however, we could wish that some attention shout,/ be
paid to them by Parliament. We are certainly riot very de-
sirous of seeing her Majesty's name inserted in the Liturgy;
and are only anxious that she may in the strict and just sense
-of the word, he put in possesswn of her " rigbts.”—(lbid.)

The present is the a,,e of Ministerial stratagem.—Finding
the artifice of ultra-Loyalist Addresses defeated by the good
sense and independent feeling of the country, an appeal is
made to another (wafter; and we shall not be Surprised, if
this day or to-morrow shan►d produce a most satisfactory de-
claration in favour of things as they are, by the monied in-
terest (as it is called) in the City—that is, by the money-
jut:hers who have flourished under, and who are the sup-
porters of the Pitt-system! This class of men, who are not
snore hostile to the true interests of. the Land-owners
and. Farmers, than to the Manufacturers and Mer-
chants •of the Kingdom (since their well-being de-
pends on that which cramps and fetters all the produc-
tive orders of society), may loirdly declare that they are
satisfied with ,the amount of public expenditure and its
consequences, excessive taxation, sinking Lund, and financial
jobbing. They thrive on the distresses of the country. "They
toil not, neit !er do they spin," and yet they are the only de-
scription of persons who profit front misgovernment.. What
constitutes- the market -of a money jobber?—The unsettled,
fine, llating and temporising system of a Finance Minister. That
whiCh paralyses all the prodUctive hands of the kingdom—that
which.defeatsall rational calculation of.benefit to skill and en-
terprise, either in agriculture or trade, is auspicious to the
nioneyjobber. A new Finance trick by the Chancel:or of t he Ex-
chequer (suggested to hint perhaps by these very speculators,)
deprives Farmer. Manufacturer, and Merchant of the fruits of
their exertions for the year. To- these 'men the interests of
the whole cooornunity have been sacrificed for. years. Upon
theta have Mittist ers solely relied—and to them they now
look as their last shift on the failure_ of their appeal to the
Country at large.

[Morning Herald.]
There continues some agitation in the Spanish Peninsula.
it has, however, no other effect than that of-displaying that
the popular spirit is Constitutional,—that the Government
is firm and moderate,—and that there are still some ill-affected
orfanatic desperadoes infatnated to light the torch of:discord
fior-a moniunt among the peasantry of a district ; an ocCur-
rent, of this kind se:rens to have taken place on the coofines
Portugal, hut it is of no moment. The tumultuous scene
fa the debating club at Madrid has more orapparent than real
importance. The systematic and calm exorcise of political
rights cannot he expected in the infancy of freedom. The ex-
ercise of freedom of speech is the most intoxicating of all, and
—, the more so to Spaniards front its newness., It appears that
the public authorities interfered merely in consequence of an
thformality,which was soon rectified. It is curious that the
-Address of the Common Council of London to his Majesty
figured at this club. It was read by one of the orators, and a
similar address moved and carried, to he presented to King
Ferdinand. We cannot help observing that there is in this
silly spirit of imitation something strongly indicative of insigni--
licorice in the patriotic club. It is a proof of the real strength
of the Government that these meetings are tolerated. The
Spanish Ministers gain the popular confidence by allowing
effervescences, and:they know that it Is compression
only that gives strength to vapour.

" POIVATE ANO CONFtDENTIAL "
_ " London, January G. 1821 .
" It is the decided opinion of the Qneen's Friertds
Oat much benefit wnuld be derived to ber Majesty's cause,

if the persons who addressed her Majesty and others, were to'
present petitions to the House of Commons, raking for the
restoration of her Majesty's name to the Liturgy, and the;
restoration of all her other rights and dignities; and that the
.petitions should be sent to the 111emberg of the town frotii
which they proceed, or if there he no Members, then to the.
Members of the county in which the town is situated, even if
such Members should be considered hostile to the prayer of
the petition. Of course, the petitions should be ready at the
opening of the Session."

And in the envelope--
'• With Alderman Wood's compliments."

Such are the contents of the letter lying before us, with its
envtlope. Now, if the worthy Alderman will come forward,
and publicly disavow all knowledge of any :inch document,
we shall with pleasure give insertion to that disavowal, which
we are perfectly sure he will not make, unless he can do so
fairly and conscientiously. But if he cannot deny, that such
letters have been sent from " the Queen's friends 'here" to the
Queen's friends there, than the nation will he ;title exactly to
appreciate the whole value of the petitions for restoring her
Majesty's name to the Liturgy:.

[The Times.]

Yesterday gave rise to another meeting, though of a mote
private nature• than that at Guildhall. It was held by several
merchants, bankers, traders, and others, at the City of Lon-
don Tavern ; and considering the haste with which it was got
yip (some-ot those who were present at the Tavern not having
been apprized of it the hour• before)—considering, we say,
this evidence of suspicious baste in the concoction, we are stir-
pased somewhat, though we greatly rejoice to see, that no
harm whatever was intended, but that ,on the contrary,
much positive good has been achieved by this select though
rather diffident body of merchants, bankers, &c. From cer-
tain passages iu the declaration,of which having perhaps read
them 'store attentively titan the others, we have been more
fortunate in ascertaining the drift, there appears to us no sa-
tisfactory reason for those who signed it haring met in a
room, and wit hoot notice, rather titan boldly in the face of
day. The sentiments it avows are any thing but minis-
terial. In spite of some ttifling obscurities in the sense, this
well•meant declaration might have been pro used on full
'Change, at the crowded hour of four-o'clock; we do not say
without any man being the wiser for it, but undoubtedly with-
out any roan of liberal politics being roused to, anger against
those who introduced it. The declaration very in.rtittently
accosts the Ministers of having, " while no foreign enemy
assails as," disturbed the nation in its enjoyment of donor's•
tic peace—at having attempted, by new and ri4orOus laws, to
" alter" our venerable Constitution—of having outraged re-
ligion, we suppose, by their unholy conspiracy against, the
sanctity of the. marriage rite; and, finally, of having fail-
ed to enforce the laws against factious and " blasphem-
ous prticeedings" (blasphemy, we fear, applies to words,
not actions), in order, we presume, that there should
always remain afloat in the country (to use a mercan-
tile idiots)) a certain amount of this blasphemous and dis-
loyal paper—on w Weft Minitters nia,y at any time raise a
fictitions .ervtlit—and• draw -upon public apprehension. and
credulity fur the means of perpetuating their semi power. It
is mit-every day that we are treated with such prodoctions as
this front Mtn who are too modest to discuss theta at an epen
meeting of their fellow-citizens. Ministers must now be con-
vinced that they are in safety no where. If Within the walls
of the City of London Tavern every intelligible sentence that
drops from the pen of their most tried adherents be a direct
though involuntary charge upon them of gross incapacity ur
of wilful crime', .the fate which over hangs them is too awful
to be Combated, and would admonish' any men in their• right

On Mr.BRO UGHAM's EDUCATION BILLS.

LETTER to R MEMBER. of PARLIAMENT, on the SE-
RIOUS and DANGEROUS DEFECTS of the BRITISH
and FOREIGN SCHOOL, and of Mr. BROUGHAM'S
BILL for the general EDUCATION of the POOR.—By
the Res. RIO-LARD LLOYD, A. M.
(Concluded from our Paper of Yesterday.)

We might,. agreeably to the Scriptures, ineule"ate motives
of a secular character,—such as relate to the temporal wel-
fare of individuals and of civil communities, but such mo-
tives, however valnalde in their relative place, are not suf-
ficient to renovate the corrupt nature of man, to subdue his
stormy passions, and to expand his soul with that charity
which sublimes and purifies all its powers, directing them,
with a !icily simplicity, to their legitimate objects, and thus
maintaining the mild dominion of truth in the inner Hiall,
and from thence diffusing its celestial radiance over the
whole life. It becomes a duty, therefore, of pre-eminent ob-
ligation to enforce, dot so much those motives and princi-
ples, which are common to all of systems aif religion, and
which have proved irfsall ages so inefficient to a radical re-
formation,---but those •which ate characteristic of Christi-
anity, arising out of the stupendous work of redemption, and
a grateful sense of our reconciliation to God resulting from
it. These are the doctrines which are the mighty and spirit-
ual weapons of the Christiants warfare; these ore the prin-
ciples which have proved so efficacious,
.after. the long and
fruitless efforts of human philosophy. in touting men front
error and sin to the knowledge and service of the living and
true God. Christianity is a religion of motives, as well as
of duties, .acd these motives constitute the powerful springs
of Christian obedience. Let it then be remembered, that
the characteristic peculiarity of our holy religion consists not
in the transcendent perspicuity and sanctity of its precepts,
but in the Sublime articles of its faith, anti ntore especially
in that " great mystery of godliness,•God manifest in the
flesh ;" and in what lie did and suffered -under that mysteri-
ous assumption of our nature. I readily grant, that the end
of doctrinal knowledge is practice, and that the end is always
more excellent than the means, and far more ornamental in
the; life of man. Unless we discharge the duties enjoined in
the precepts, our theological tenets become a barren specu-
lation, nothing better than " sounding brass and a tinkling
cymbal." But we still repeat, that the powerful and evan-
gelical motives by which these precepts are enforced, aid
which lead, in harmony with the Divine attributes and the
laws of our nature,—to that supreme lore of God, and bene-
volence towards man, which are the ultimate end and perfec-
tion of all religion,—constitute that peculiar feature in Chris-

tianity, 'by whip!' it is pre•erainently distinguished. To
exclude these from our holy religion, you exclude the light,
the lily, and the glory of it. To give them, only a secondary
and subordinate place in your Creed, you invert its order,
yon cloud anti deform its gracious complexion ; you virtually
and circuitously subvert its constitution.
It becomes us also to bear in mind, that every article in the
Christian Cr:erd involves many appropriate correspondent

dirties. Tire mediatorial offices ;vine' h Christ sustains, and the
consetrent relations in which He stands towards us, imply
Correlative obligations, and the performance of them is as
much a moral duty, as any duty required in the Decalogtte in
reference to our neighbour. Indeed there can be no Christian
morality without Christian belief, for how can its genuine
fruits of righteousness be produced, when the radical prin-
ciple, frbar which they can only proceed, has never been im-
planted in the mind ? It- is as contrary to sound philosophy,
as to sound piety, to expect an effect without an adequate
cause. It follows then, that faith, considered either in itself,
or in its effects, is a moral duty: for all duty emanates frinn
the authority of God, and if the divine• Legislator has
exercised his sovereign right in pruclai.ining doctrines,
as well as precepts, the duty, in both 'eases, to obey, is
indispensable, and' dors nut admit, like the relation from
' which it proteeds, of any limitation. To study the Di-
vine Will, however revealed, acciirding to our respective
talents and advantages,—to exercise ;a •faith, and obe-
dience co-extensive with its light arid directions, cannot
'but be obligatory upon all intelligent brings. And whilst
faith is a duty of great importance in itself, and a necessary
condition of our salvation, it is, moreover, the source of all
pure aria acceptable obedience. If the fundamental and cha-
ractelistic 'doctrines of Christianity be not brought forward,
ind the obligations inseparably connected with. thein,—many
duties of primary importance cannot but be neglected through •
ignorance, and many others must be performed upon motives
and considerations which will not only circumscribe their ex-
teot,.lnit disrobe them of that Holy and Christian character,
which renders them acceptahle to Hith, who looks to -motives
:is well as to actions. Actions materially good, i. e. good in
their outward character,--conducive to the interests of so-
ciety;arici ever' ornamental-in the Wes of those who perform
thi?m, do not nece,,sarily argue a virtuous prim:4.le, but May
proceed from a mind at enmity with God,.anil all the sublime
'doctrines of his Hot,- Religion. The Atheist may perform
them, as'well as the Christian. That obedience, which is the
offspring of' Christian faith, is always marked by a practical
recognition of the authority of God,' as the true ground of it,
and is, consequently. without partiality,—without hypocrisy.
'The principle, in its integrity, is maintained in the life of, the
sinCere•Belieter, 'though its transforming influence does not
acquire that •eintiplete and absolute ascendancy to which it
tends, iwing,to the remains of human corruption, and tlie
irtSiietice t,f exti rind temptations.
• We fully admit, that those. dispositions and actions which
are'founded only in a sense of plOpriety, in a benevolent
disposition towards tethers, -arid whiell • thi'd a'ben.ign influ-
ence upon society, as :well as a lustre upon , lndiridoal
characters, ought' not to be confounded with the vices
or obliquities of our nature, or be merged (as they

often are) into the general' mass of human curuption.—
Their fault lies in defect, and we should avail ourselves
of their good tendency—for they indicate a moral consti-
tution,—relics of our primeval grandeur, and should be
used, as admirable materials-, for the re-edification of our
fallen nature. We ought nut to neglect to exercise thoie
we6pons, which, not only tile 'Christian religion; bolke laws
and instincts of our moral constitution supply, for the benefit
of our fellow-matures. It is no pai t of Christian philosophy
to do so. Such false zeal is founded in an ignorance of man,
as such, and justly incurs the displeaSure of the most reflect,
ing part of mankind. Such displeasure is not prejudice : it
is grounded in the truth of things ; it is human nature re-
pelling, with a becoming indignation, a gross libel upon
itself.

Though I deprecate such crude statements, as injurious to
the sacred cause of Christianity, and the best interests of

man, and feel disposed to render every just feeling, and legi-
timate, though inferior, principle of action, ministerial to
his welfare,--I must, however, strongly solicit you to remem-
ber, that the mysterious doctrines of Chriotialiity (which are
revealed as the subjects of 'pure faith, and which faith may
be equally exercised by the poor and ignorant, as well as by
the learned) exist,—not only in beautiful alliance with each
other, and with the dutieS arising out of them,—but are also
designed, agreeably to their tendency, to produce that po-
verty of spirit, that docility of disposition, that happy con-
formation and rectitude of mind, which are congenial to
‘. the truth, as it is in Jesus," and consequently generate a
moral aptitude to receive and to cultivate it in all its bear-
ings. For what is holiness„ but a bright reflection of truth?
It is troth embodied, clothed with a tangible form, reduced
to practice in' its various ramifications. When the Deity is
enthronedln the heart under a just and scriptural view of
all his attributes, as displayed, more especially, in the great
work of Redemption, fallen mati no longer exalts himself,
but. sinks into his relative place, exhibits dispositions corres-.
pondent thereto, and thus moves in accordance with that Di-
vine will, Which is the law of the- Universe, and the harmony
of the world. Under the influence of this statement, what
shall we say to the sad and deplorable defects of the British
and Foreign School education, or of that proposed by Mr.
Broughaaes Bill now pending in Parliament ? I confidently
affirm of both, (on the improbable assumption that a Chris-
tian Legislature should sanction the latter), that their deice-

tive characters will soon appear in the deformity of the life..
in an infidel Creed, and a licentious practice ;—as no streams
.can rise above the fountain from which they issue ; as no
fruit can he superior in quality to the tree which produces it.
These eventful 'times imperiously demand an attention to

principles. We are still at war, in the language of Burke,
with "an armed duct, ire." The rebellion of modern dema-
gogues is, fur the most part, founded in professed Prism, and
in practical Atheism. They who speak evil of dignities have
heen long since characterised by the highest authority as
those, who " deny the Lord that bought them." But this
frightful, though natural union of infidelity and seditieu ne-
ver before presented, in the annals of our country, so fero-
cious an aspect, so sanguinary a spirit, or manifested itself in
words •of such tremendous blasphemy. The mind of man,
ere it be debased by the most impious sophistry, instinctively
recedes from such terrific spectacles. It stands apalled iii
silent and awful expectation of the judgment of Heaven.
That Christians, under the foil light of revelation, should
entomb themselves in the darkness of infidelity, and, With a
monstrous obliquity of the mind, extract materials front their
unparalleled mercies fur assailing the Throne of Heaven, as
well as that of their earthly Sovereign, exhibits such a su-
perlative degree of impiety as calls aloud for national humi-
liation and repentance. These are deep and deadly wounds,
beyond what any hostile weapon can inflict ; they are the sure
precursors (unless repentance interpose) of public degrada-
tion and ruin. No sooner had the late Bills, in contraven-
tion of seditious meetings, which menaced the revolution
of the Country, passed so triUmphantly through both Houses
of Parliament, and we begat, to experience that tranquillity
which arises front a full confidence its the wisdom and vigour of
the Legislature, and to anticipate,with grateful exultation, the
splendid period of the King's eoronation,a period illustrated by
a light reflected from a succession of brilliant victories,and front
a glorious termination of a war, arduous and protracted beyond
all former precedent, than the unfortunate arrival of the
Queen rekindled that insurgent spirit which had nearly sub-
sided, and she was made, at once, the unhappy medium
through which every species of blasphemy and sedition have
vented their rage against the constituted authorities of the
realm. The constitutional Head of the Government has
been, and is, insulted, reviled, caricatured. He is held forth,
in our public 'prints and windows, under all the forms of
ridicule and contempt that the most diabolical malice and
ingenuity can devise. What will other nations think of Eng-
lish liberty, when they behold 'our King thus contumeliously
treated by his -own subjects ? A Monarch so beloved in the
private circle of his family on account of his amiable and rela-
tive qualities ; su admired as the ornament of his court, no
less by foreigners than by his own subjects, owing to his re-
fined manners and splendid accomplishments; a Monorai,
moreover, who has, by a patriotic endeavour to concentrate
the best talents of thel country in its defence, and by the sig-
nal triumphs of his Regency, exalted and aggrat:dized the
Throne of his ancestors; and whose illustrious reign will,
doubtless, descend to posterity, and shine in the page of
history when the. factious and clamorous invectives and all
the foul conspiracies of his enemies shall, with their names,
have long sunk into perfect
The grand enemy wt bare now to encounter, is far more
formidable than the deposed tyrant of France ever was ; we
are its conflict with ourselves,—with his deSpotic and revolu-
tionary principles in the form and exorbitant power of an
tooprincipled and licentious press. It concentrates and em-
bodies the very sedition it excites. It aims to govern the
Country, to overawe the Legislature, to arraign arid to de-
nounce whatever obstructs its bold and nefarious purposes.—
In short, iris indefatigable in sowing the seeds of discord, in
promoting the wild domination of the multitude, by an auda-
cious and tremendous latitude of means, that sets at defiance
the laws both of God and of man. Notwithstanding the
Divine authority of our Religion, the transcendent purity of
its nature ; its salutary influence in ameliorating the man-
ners, and in expanding the charities of life, and the able ad-
ministration of it by its accredited Ministers,—how awfully,
and with what virulent malice, is it daily assailed, thougis
it forms a constituent part of the law of the land, •and is the
basis of our national security? Nor does the acknowledged
equity of our courts of justice, nor the high judicial charac-
ters of those Who so impartially dispense it, shield and pro-
tect them from the foulesraspersions. The liberty of the
times is no longer despotism in disguise. •,It announces, in the
language of defiance, its revolutionary views, its insatiable
thirst for power; for with all its vauntings about freedom, it
allows no other freedom, than that of speaking and of acting
in conformity to its own magisterial decrees. Whatever other
sentiments are avowed upon public occasions, by the friends
olgovernment and order, are at once silenced by the yoeifer-
ations of the most vulgar and pet sonalitbuse. Such manly
independence highly offends the majesty of the people, i. e.
of a mob infuriated, not only by revolutionary projectors,
but by men of a higher order, who are inflamed by disap-
pointed ambition, and too often by their broken fortunes,
and do not scruple to render the blind rage of the populace,
and even the return of a deluded Queen, subsidiary-to their
inordinate lust of wealth and of dominion. Our country is
convulsed and torn to pieces by faction. The mob and
its turbulent leaders would soon sink into their native
insignificance, were they not countenanced by charac-
ters, from whose stations and talents better things might
hare been expected. If sound patriotism have lost its ascen-
dancy in the minds of those who all themselves the constitn-
-IVhigs of the country, acid who have so disgracefully
identified themselves with its radical reformers, let them, at
least, remember, that in their bold attempt to "ride in the
whirlwind, and direct the storm," they may counteract their
own selfish schemes-of aggrandizement, and find an unex-
pected grave in the ruins of their country,
What lover of his country due's not mourn over fallen ma-
jesty, and feel indignant in cootemplating, her as the dupe
and victim of a vile faction,—as a royal pedestal upon which
blasphemy and rebellion raise their brazen fronts, and menace
to overthrow the empire,!—Oh my fair countrywomen, learn to '
estimate more highly the value of that modesty by which you
have been always distinguished; of those mild ,and re-
tiring qualities, so ornamental to your characters,—frem the
affecting recollection of them in your late Queen, whose life
was a living law to her sex,—whose domestic and unobtru-
sive virtues are embalmed in the affections of the Nation, and
whose example still speaks front the silent tomb. May the warn-
ing voice be heard, and may not the standard of public, and
more especially of female manners, he lowered, by the dis-
gusting and melancholy spectacles we daily witness, spec-
tacles which tend to divest sedition and adultery of their
moral turpitude, and even to transform them into virtues !
These volcanoes, in the moral world, which throw up such
Sulphur:coos and -combustible matter from one extremity of
the kingdom to the other, will soon, I trust, expend their
portentous and destructive fires, and With and virtue recover
their wonted dominion. England's sun has oat yet gone
down. It has only been obscured four •a short-season by yes-
tilential clouds, which already begin to disperse, and to, open •
before us the prospect of better and brighter days.

.
.. You, Sir, are one of the constitutional. guardians of Church
and State. Son have been elected to be. a representative,
not of SOUr County only, • but of the whole Empire ; to le-
gislate not exclusively for local,- butforthe-natioi,al.intetest •
Possessing, as you do, those enlightened and comprehensive
views, which ought ever tx distiuguish a Member or Parlia-

ment, you will, - I Am. confident, exercise both your talents
and induence;-nOt only in the promotionof What it good? but
in the -suppression' of -whatever tends to bring. religion • and
Morality into disrepute. You will not connive at public de-
linquencies, or glaring violations of existing laws, • by which
they are rendered a dead letter, but will endeavoUr- to re-ani-
mate them, and to recover that higher tone of
.morals that
has been lost through. supineness, and the storiny character of
the times. It is something worse than a narrow system of
policy, that seeks to swell the revenue of the Empire by mea-
sures which contribute to enersate, to debase, mid ultimate!y
to destroy it. If these tempestuous days throw up.one lessem
of instruction more than another, it is that, which the
experience of all ages has confirmed, viz. that " Righteous-
ness exalteth a Nation ;" that iniquity is its disgrace arid
ruin; and that the wicked are, consequently, (whatever vain
pretensions they may wake to superior patriotism) tbe real
parricides of their country., They undermine it in its veto
foundations, and " if the foundations be destroyed, what cam
the righteous do !"

Whilst I entertain no Utopian ideas of reformation, which
lead only to popular delusion and disappointment, by aggra-
vating the evils theymitu to eradicate,—and am fully sensible
of the gigantic difficulties with which our excellent Goverra-
ment has to engage, and of the urgent necetsity of a loyal'.
and zealoui co-operation in its support, I am still constrain-
ed, with reluctance, to observe, that many public crimes and
abominations are continually perpetrated in this Christians
land, which cry to Heaven for vengeance, and to this cry the.
executive power is not duly attentive, though it possesses tbe
authority to suppress them, or to remove the causal: front
which many of them originate. We may !mild new Clititsbes„
enlarge old ones, institute national systems of • edttcatiota,ap.d
circulate the Bible and various religious books and tracts,
with a zeal highly creditable to ourselves, and beneficial to
the country; but these great and inestimable advantages wilt
lose a great part of their salutary effects under the powerful,
and seductive influence of those public enormities to which I
have adverted, combined with that unbridled licentionaness,
of, the press which' so grossly insults the moral sense of tlav
nation, and endangers its very safety. You must permit me
to say, Sir, that the terrific features of the times itulierionsly
demand senators of sound, Christian principles, who arc
firmly determined to uphold the union of Church and State,
upon the ground, not merely of 'political expediency, but s
divine obligation. The powers of light and-darkness are in
tremendous conflict with each other. The devil is come down
amongst us with great wrath, knowing that his time is short. He
only be effectually resisted, repelled, and 'subdued-by spiritual.
weapons. Civil authority, unless aided 'by that; religion
which legislates to the heart, will be laughed to scorn. Con-
science, when enlightened and awakened by her sacred voice,
strangles. at °nee, millions of crimes in their womb, an&
powerfully, though silently, co-operates with the laws of Go:4
which enjoin, among other precepts, obedience to " the
powers that be."

I eannot, Sir, conclude this Letter, which I bare extended I
much beyond my original intention, without allusioit to ano-
ther great evil, sadly predominant in these degenerate times..
I refer to the deplorable degree in which' the country is de-
serted by those who were designed to be its safest guardians •
and ornaments. Instead of extending-heir shade of prate-
thin, like the British oak, over those who need it, and byr
their counsel and liberality ameliorating the condition of their
tenants and of the poor Within their respective spheres, and
thus kindling in them a love to their King and country; they •
sadly desert their noble mansions, and by a selfish and ino-
dinate consolidation of their farms, consign the country over
to a vulgar aristocracy, which is more inclined to oniresss.
their humble dependents, than to improve their conditions,. or to give them a patriotic attachment to the soil sybichttivy
cultivate. It is no wonder that our work-hmises
and our poor-rates inercase, and tigng, as a millstone, round
the neck of the nation. Government cannot grapple wills
this enormous evil, which has been accumulating through 3.
long succession of years. lt can administer no eltectual cure.
The remedy now lies only in improving the hiibits .of the
poor, and in judicious parisp regulations. " Teach the poor,"
says Burke, .‘ patience, labour, frugality, and 'religion ;" ty.oe
these qualities, which are the nerves and sinews of a country,
cannot he expected togrow and to flourish-under .the antbu-
rity of hard task-masters, of men devoid of education, and too
often inflated by the rude insolence of wealth.

CORONER'S INQUEST'—An Inquest, was held
yesterday at the Rose and Crown-Inn, Putney, -
by CHARLES JEMMETT, Esq. the Coroner for the
County of Surrey, on the body of a child found un-
der the following circumstances : Pedder,
beadle of the parish, dep9sed, that on the evenirpc
of Saturday last, the pth inst, his little girl yVP 5
leaving his house, when she returned, saying Ant
there was something, white on the step of, the
door, and he immediately found there a deal box,
with the lid nailed down. With the assistance
of a neighbour he opened ..it, and found a.
dead child eneldsed in a ' .napkin. Mr. Slid
lito, the surgeon, depOsed, that he was. "calla
upon on the evening in question to 'examine
the said body ; that "it prOved 'to be a female
'child, perfect in all respects, but prematurely:
born : he discovered no marks of violence upow
it, but the navel-string was ragged, and app.eareit
to have been roughly torn asunder. To som
questions put to Mr. Shillito, he stated 'that-
the child had • certainly been alive, because
the common notion of quickening was alto-
gether erroneous, and life exists from the moment
of conception ; drat the child had been deadse-
veral days when he examined it, and was.at the
time partiallyin a state of putrefa6tion',.. arid that .
he had no satisfactor grounds-for alidpinion that
the child had been, horn alive. The 'Jury then
proceeded to a view of the body ; and upon the
Coroner's recapitulating the evidence returned a
verdict of " still born."
