CAPTAIN ROBERT PEARCE, R.N.

We annOunced a few days ao the 'death of this
gallant and enterprising• Officer, who fell a sacrifice to
the climate at Angus, tvhilc employed in the 'Mission
to Central Africa. Captain Pearce 'first entered. the
Navy under the auspices of Captain Tower, in the
Caraeea,
,aflei which he joined the Menelaus .as
Lieutenant, and on the fall of his. brave. Commander,
Sir Peter Parker, "who expired in his arms, he was
appointed to the Favorite, Captain Robinson, where,
he distinguished himself so much in suppressing the
mutiny that took place on board that ship, as to re-
ceive the approbation of the Lords of the Admiralty ;
and after sailing some months in the Cambrian With
Captain. Hamilton, he at last received the long-looked
for reward of promotion to the rank of Commander.
Capt. Robert Pearce was in the thirty -sixth year of
his age, and his disconsolate family and friends. have
only to deplore that his g. Aunt and enterprising spirit
led him into an undertaking so perilous, and to which
his constitution was so little fitted.

He was buried at Anglia with due honours, and all
the inhabitants attended the nislancholy ceremony,

GENER AL ELECTION.

Dun it kin', MAY 24.---Though we generally used
o have great stir and bustle on the eve of a dissolu-
ion of Parliament, the present seems likely to pass
over without a movement extraordinary of any sort.
The Hon. William Powlett and John George
Lambton; Esq., will not be opposed for the
County ; and Sir Henry Hardinge and M. A.
Taylor, Esq., will apparently continue to represent the
City.-,:-Preparations are making for the reception of
Mr, Legator.* At Lambton Hall on. Friday (the day
iffer,to-morrow). It is unnecessary to add, that the
late accounts, representing.the improved health -bf this'
gentleman, have diffused universal satisfaction 'ln this •
quarter. Even those who are opposed to him in poli-
tical sentiment admit his great private worth, 'and ad-
mire the splendid manner in which he supports the
dignity of. a country gentleman at his hospitable resi-
dence intthis county.
'NEwcAsTLE-.Torr-TYKE, MAY 24.—There is a
rumour,_ certainly, though a very :absurd one, that
Lord Normanby Means to become a candidate, on the
independent interest, for this town. The fact is, there-
is a restless, dissatisfied party,,among the freemen of
the lower order here, who are desirons of an Opposi-
tion, for the unworthy purpose of causing money to be
spent." -Such an opposition, however, is reprobated,
and moseproßerly so, by a' great majority of the free
•Burgessea. The preSent .Members, Sir katthew
White Ridley, Bart. and Cuthbert Ellison, Esq., have
always laboured faithfully and diligently to -promote
the interests of the town. Nothing can be more truly
contemptible‘tharr an attempt to' drive others to a heavy
expenditure, for the mere sake of eating and carousing
et •an election. Such. conduct, in point of fact,
amounts to a conspiracy against the property of indi-
viduaLs, and, were the laws as perfect as they ought to
be.--:should be dealt with accordingly.

county it would doubtless be desirable that Messrs.
Burrell and Curteis should be quietly 'returned ; but a

Tim (NEAT Mawr Ricx.7—The decision of this great race,
yesterday, has caused extraordinary sensation in the betting circle,.
and it is expected that no bets on the race, except thos;e that have
actually been declared p. p., will he paid. The greatest confusion
prevailed at the Coffee-Hideo Betting Iloomi in EpsOt, hifore the
Race took place; anti a Noble Marquis, it is said, has pledged
himself to devclope the whole of . what in the sporting world is
called " the robbery," at Tattersall's, on Tuesday next,, the day
of payment. It is believed that the General could have won had
not some tricks•been played with him.

In.
consequence of the death of Mr. Bean, one of
th, :.itib-Librarianships of the British Museum has become vacant.
The appointment to this situation is vested in the Lord Chan-
cellor, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Speaker of the
House of Commons : the tiret 'of these distinguished personages
habitually refers this branch of his functions to his two colleagues,
and of these it is well known that, it is the Archbishop who
makes the eventual decision.

stibject of dispute. Our correspondent is aware' that
' there iS no sufficient evidence to -prove that Creed the
composition of the violent, the persecuted, and per-
secuting man, whose name is even doubtingly
affixed to it in our rubric. It is, therefore, ..best
distinguished by its leading doctrine---that .of. the
eternal condeMnation of those who are unable td be-
lieve its doctrines—the " Perish-everlastingly Creed."
Our correspondent says, that the•Athanasian'Creed
cannot mean what it says ; that " if- we interpreted
the clause literally, it would be contrary to our ,belief
as Christians:" vet a creed that cannot be interpreted
literally, is something like a judicial oath conceived in
metaphor. A Creed which, being understoodi4,/he
only sense that the words of which it is cornposed
convey, would be contrary to our belief as Christians,
should make no part of a Christian ritual. We fully
agree with our correspondent in time propriety, of
placing creeds in formularies of publie worship ; but
have we not the creedcalled that' of the Apostles, and
the Nicene Creed in our church service—both admi-
rable summaries of faith, and both of higher anti-
quity than the creed imputed to. Athanasius ? What
would he more ? Our correspondent is Most
scandalized, because we said,- somewhat hastily
perhaps, that only " stupid Priests" read the " Pe-
nah-everlastingly' Creed. 'We still, however, ad-
here to the opinion, more guardedly expressed—
that the learned, pious, and discreet lien of the
clergy, somehow or other, generally forget to read
this Creed. Perhaps the merciful Being Also,
whose vengeance it pledges, will in like manner' for:
get (if we may without irreverence use the word) to
plunge in ever-during misery those who do not believe
its donnas. We are, however, willing to make one
exception, at least, to the preceding rule. U biir
correspondent, as perhaps may be'the case, be one of
those clergymen who have been in • the habit of read-
ing this Creed' on the appointed days, we will not, we
cannot, from thence conclude--with this his leiter be-
fore us—against his learning, piety, or moderation,
or even his possession of all those qualities united.—
Nor can we regret that an ecclesiastical establishment,
which we most sincerely revere for its general princi-
ples, should possess so estimable an apologist far that
occasional portion of its service which we think it were
better that it should not retain.

TO THE EDITOR OP- THE TIMES.
Sir,—ln speaking of the Roman Catholic religion, you lament
" that our church, in her. i perish-everlastingly creed,' " as you call
it, " retains the principle of exclusive salvation, if possible, with
more rancour than the' Catholics." There is something exceed-
ingly severe,—l had almost said coarse,—in that language which
pronounces all clerical readers of this creed to be (4 itopid
priests." Recollect, that all, or most of the clergy have signed
the declaration of conformity, and if they omit reading this creed,
they are liable to ecclesiastical censure. The creed of 'St.
Athanasitis has been received from the sixth century to the pro"
sent day, by the whole western church, and by a great pert tithe
eastern church. Ido not mention this historical fact fir an ergu-,
ment for retaining the creed in- our church servieet -but
when you nay, with a degree of asperity, that oar church
retains it, 'you should likewise say that it is retained by
nearly," the whole Christian church throughout the World,
.When we say in the danmetory clause, that " this is. The Ca-
tholic faith, which, except every one do- keep whole and undo-.
filed, he shall perish everlastingly," we do not—we cannot Mean
that the best of Men are doomed to eternal destruction; v, hich. we
should say, if we interpreted the clause literally. This would ha
contrary to our belief as Christiane, and we shoulditnpugn at*
great leading and fundamental doctrine of Christianity, ftninded.in
the mercy of God,--viz. the forgiveness °feint'. But we do soy,
that when such a man shall wilfully reject, or purposely degrade.
any leading doctrine of the Christian dispensation, then hi-it
liable to the penalty awarded by the chum Human nature is
such, that if each man were left to hitnelf to form articles Of be-
lief, by far the greater portion of mankind would have no belief
at all, hut • acquiesce in a state of stupid intlifferenee. With a
view, therefore, both-of regulating and confirming the faith of
many, and reconciling the divivione of the few, artlules of
belief were first -introduced into the Christian, church in
order- to present a clear and scriptural rule, of faith fur
succeeding ages. It is, however, generally acknowledged,
that the language in the daninatory clang. , might he ci-.
tered with propriety; because in order to explain it, err me
obliged to bare recourse to those patents of Scripture declarative
of mercy on the part orthe Almighty. It you were to find fault
with the creed in *ivory paper you publish, I should not have
cause to be angry, provided you did it with good Wing, and a
regard to the welfare of the established church. It ii one of the
worst of heresies to endeavour to exclude the prerogative`of
infi-
nite mercy, which the objectionable clause Appears to 110 'and 'it
is therefor* the duty of all to guard against the introduction of ab-
solutism in human formidaries of religion : for sui St. Alm, in
his first Epistle, says, "If we receive the witness of moat* Om
witness of Owl is greater." Neither is it a mark of learning and
erudition to omit reading the creed. I allow that it it not de-
sirable to read it in church so often as is appointed ; but I grioie
to read in a inertial like The .Timer, that the unlearned priest

ways;confounds poverty with crime, and breaks down
the distinction, which should always be preservedibe-
. tween misfortune, to which 011 Men arelable, and acts
of Volantary guilt. As long as the ignoininious pro-
cess of arrest is applicable to debtors, it will make lees
impression khan it ou:rht in criminal cares, and laws
that are more<tenacio,l4 of the, power of doing a thing,
than the reason for doing it, most be deficient in moral
utlwrity. Instead of le law of arrest in civil cases
being conformable to reason, is it not obviously ab-
surd, that a min who is, unable to pay adelt at-a
given time, should be dragged from his home and
his oictipation and shut up within the four walls of
a prison, where he is incapacitated, not only from
making a greater income than he had before, but
even from earning Ms own , subsistence ? Of
what earthly use can it be to the creditor to confine
th limbs and paralyze the faculties of his debtor ?
If the lutter be an honest man, who struggles against
uituvoidable circumstances, he has a chance of being
-Ale to satisfy his creditor, and his conscience, as long
as, he is kit to the exertions .of his own industry ;

and if he be not honest, the associations of a gaol
will licit improve his morals. But then it may be
:said,'" Many people fraudulently get into debt, and
1.0-e in,extravagance, 'because they have resolved never
tö pay the tradespeople and others whom they induce
to supply them with goods and luxuries, while they
laugh at their folly. This is all very true, and a
,guest evil. But does the
.power of arrest mend the
=atter ? By no means.oll the contrary, we believe
Viat: fraudulent debts are beyond all measure more
'eaaily—coutracted while the law of arrest exists, than
they amid be if it were abolished. Let us see how
Atie law produces, or, at least, greatly aggravates this
evil. When persons ask for. credit, the tradesman is
seitipted by; the large profit which he calculates on out
•of'lligli prices at which such persons are obliged
tip -tilte. his articles. He thinks that such per-
semi must be dependent on him, and • not dis-
Plite;, his charges. He resolves that they shall
iiay dearly for the present convenience---and he
knows that, when he pleases, he can threaten the
party with a prison, if there should be a dis-
agre'eable delay about the payirient. By this system
.of credit, boih parties. generally sufl'er in the end.
P'eckile .of small incomes, who had originally no dis-
- honest viewe, are induced to live beyond their real
mesuss.,-the facilities of procuring food, clothing, and
luttiries, without the necessity. of putting their hands
in-their pockets, and counting the costs, makes them
4114'eless,•and they go on blindly • from one expence to
unother,.tuitil credit runs dry, and they are involved
in embarrabsnient and ruin. So it often happens, that
the.tradestrianwhether he be butcher, baker,
shotstiaker; draper',. upholsterer, milliner, or mercer—
sin'ste';id of receiving large profits, gets nothing at all,
Or 'so, suiall a dividend, that lie, at last, finds it Would
