j 'IR.--,Being a daily reader of your -tit: ~
ourual, I n -rt - , that it is with tile grea idea. . it s say ...,
1-u*e I read the various articles on Puseyism,
and - . .
disc your holding it up to the light before, a
in, "'ling public. I have sent you the follow-
v 'extracts of -a letter, written by the- Rev.
119Lis.T. Hall, to the Lord Bishop of Oxford :
tn l'aY.Lordi beg• leave to bring under your
le"„r.§.lllp's notice the following passages from a
sli‘•LV.latel3' published by a deacon in your Lord-
IPA diocese, theißep. Win. Palmer, and at the
me time to quote the sentiments and words of
vii4riol4B- Bishops, the greater part of them still
ihvltlg';. and then, when your Lordship shall
(~'" perused these quotations, together with the
ftx,trnets of Mr. Palmer's letter,'l would respect-
-11!!1Y ask whether a deacon in the Church is per-
4"tied to anathematize his superiors in dignity
1)(1 station."
let he following are the passages in Mr. Palmer's
ter alluded to :
ei, In 'conclusion, I says anathema to the.prin-
tP'e of Protestantism,- which I regard as iden-
foleal with the principle of Dissent, and to all its
rlAlls, sects, and denominations"
in;gain--" Likewise to all persons who know-
do q. and willingly, and understanding what they
Bkshall assert, either for themselves or for the
„111'ch of England, the principle of Protes-
i:tisto, Or maintain the Church of England to
an-I'e one and the same common religion with
teY (ir all of the various forms and sects of Pre-
enstantism, or go about to establish any inter-
idlniutiicui between ,our Church and them—to
"It
I say, anathema."
ti_ 'lt will no doubt be in your Lordship's recollec-
el that the present Archbishop of Canterbury
the'u some years ago, express an earnest wish for
of ton of the. Church of England with the
th her Protestant Churches on the Continent, and
i;:st he did; either in express terms or by direct
,fl),ljeatioris, manifest his opinion that the Church
-"gland-is a Protestant Church."

I:Tilese remarks might be greatly multiplied,

I;,these are the extracts to which I would call
rilt attention, and knowing how widely circu-
lited
i. • „ your Paper is, I would ask your numerous
iiepers respectfully,' Whether they will bestir
Netoselves,. and follow the noble example.of the
their

to'Yir. Palmer cannot go mnch farther; if any ;
braie has cursed the Queen, the Primate, the

INDOO RELIGION.—The Hindoo religion
spre ,
tv,iat' 0. ver the whole earth. There are signs of it in
\v„);_ northern country, and in almost every system of
dentin-8
11i1). In England it is obvious ; Stone-henge is evi-
y
astir one of the temples of Boodh ; and the arithmetic,
sta -11(any, astrology, the holidays, games, names otthe
41%1.3 and figures of the constellations, and the ancient
tehtlitnents, laws, and coins, the languages of the diftb--`
bri, nations, bear the strongest marks of the same
tli4';ll4l. The Brahmins, of the sect of Brahma, were
fotiloe authors of the Ptolemaic system ; the Boodhists,
teitrers of Budha, the authors of the Copernican sys-
a
s well as the doctrine of attraction.

Diario di Roma gives an account of the
of the evening schools for the instruction of

kiittllrre laid down by the vicar-general, Cardinal
orta, last June. These schools have greatly

Brett of families and masters to send to them their chil-

liee.„ll ENGLISH OAK.—Even when it has
iatout down and stripped of what Cowper called 'its
eibi„ll" of boughs," the oak still carries with it a prin-
III: of life : it may almost be said to last as long
e14;11 it is dead as when it is alive. In ancient
Leant and halls we frequently notice the wonderful
thel!tY and freshness of its appearance. The doors of
cia.intlee chapels of Westminster Abbey are 1,200 years
tios'il The oak table in Winchester Castle, which tradi,
lasteaAgsociates with the history of Arthur, has probably
u a thousand years.
Secjika few days ago a grand ceremony took place at
persona °n occasion of transferring the remains of several
former of the Princely House of Sedan from their

perse Protestant church in that town. Among these
Nda liages was Henri de Latour d'Auvergne, Prince of
st,4,,and Maria Elizabeth of Orange, his consort, with
aoth4l.lnembers of their family. All the civil and military
xi_ unties of the department. the representatives of the
de,n_g of 11olland as head of the
House of Orange, the
o't'gates of the ancient Duchy of Bouillon, and nume-
tegetteerrsonages of note, were present on this occasion,
(.„I._s with detachments of the troops in garrison. The
ke,ne were removed with much pomp, amidst an im-
