THE ASSIZES.

NOR'I4tiERN-CIRCUIT, YORK, Atro. 5.
This extensive circuit commenced yesterday
at this place. Sir WILLIAM _ENO]. Lpv, Bart., the
High Sheriff of the county of York, proceeded
soon after three o'clock in official state to receive
the Judges. He rode in a coach with six heau,!
tiful black horses. The high Sheriff had with
him, besides the usual number of Spearmen on
horseback, an immense cavalcade of his 'own
tenantry. Mr. Justice HoLttovn was conducted
into the Castle about four o'clock,
.when the
commission -was opened for the county. His
Lordship proceeded thence with the chief triagis'
trates of the city to the Guildhall,- where the
commission was opened for the city and county
of York. •

At half past ten this morning Mr. Justice
Bayley and Mr. Justice Hoiroyd were conducted
by the High Sheriff and Lord Dundas, who is
Lord Mayor of York, with their respective at-
tendants and insignia, to the Cathedral church,
where divine service was performed with the
splendour and effect which the unrivalled mag-

n'ificence of the place is so well calculated t°
give to religious solemnities. The crowd was,
excessively great. his Grace the Archbishop °'
York occupied his own stall. The High Sheriffs
Chaplain, the ReV. Mr. Powell, preached from
1 l'eter ii. 17, " Honour all men, love the
brethren, fear God, honour the King."
" Without religion the Most atrocious crimes
would have been committed ; there could be n 0
mutual confidence between man and man ; troth
could not be elicited, and justice could not be
administered ; yet religion could not controul
the passions and actions of men without the aid
and enforcement of civil onvernment. The state
of religion and government in this;,country "'33
the best that had ever been known, or probably
that would ever exist. The legislature was wise
and upright, the administration of justice en',
lightened and impartial ; there was provision t.:lt
the needy, and hospitals for theediseased• "`i
'was therefore the most sacred obligation telt
all to support. the religion and governmen
t,.
of this country ; but it was particularly the dui/
of the rich and powerful. It would he ungrate;
ful as well as unjust not to ackriowledge that i
rh
rich and powerful generally performed their hi
and important duties with great attention aril,
success. Their dwellings were encompassed 01
their beneficence and good example. Yet thele
would do well to .exert their utmost. vigiinncs,
against dangerous and blasphemous publicatintio;.
If the poison of modern philosophy should wno.,
its way to the heart of the body politic, of
should relapse into a worse condition than tball,
aboriginal heathenism and darkness. Christian'
was infinitely more beneficial than all the Wrili-j
ing of antiquity and all the shadowy, ilimsyVere
fallacious inventions of modern times. Vet t,,nt
were in this country poor men who felt thew
~55,
of work, of food, and of due attention in siclO'',as
It ought to be remembered that ChristianitYl:sto
not designed to give riches to the poor, holt to
the sick, youth to.the aged. its object 011er
direct the hopes and affections of men to au°'
and a better world." ig
