CEMENT—MOST IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE
INVENTION.
rllO ARCHITECTS, Engineers, Contractors,
11 Builders. Masons, Plasterers, and the Trade. and also
t Shippers. THE PATENT STUCCO PAINT CEMENT,
surpassing every article hitherto introduced, possesses the fol-
lowing extraordinary and valuable properties. Remarkable
adhesiveness, fixing most tenaciously to the smoothest surfaces
(even to glass). It is perfectly impervious to wet or damp.
The more it is exposed to the atmosphere, the harder and mere
durable it becomes. It is perfectly free from any of the caustic
qualities of lime, and it may therefore be painted upon as soon
as dry, as it is impossible that it can vegetate or change colour,
nor can it be affected by frost or heat, or crack chip, or
peel off. To Merchants and Shippers, it must form a most
important item of commerce, as it will keep for any length of
time, as fresh as delivered from the manufactory; w►th regard
to price, it is cheaper than any other Cement, and its lasting
qualities, render it a fortune to builders and others investing
capital in building speculations.
The Patentees have appointed Messrs. Mann and Co., 5,
Maiden-lane, Queen-street, Cheapside, their sole agents, at
whose warehouses any quantity may be had, specimens may be
seen, and every information afforded.

THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER-
CATALOGUE, with ENGRAVINGS (Gratis),
POSTAGE FREE.—The celebrity of the rich and silvery
appearance and extreme durability of the material made ex-
clusively by ourselves, has induced many attempts to foist
upon the public the notoriously deleterious German Silver
under the guises of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver," &e.
ccc., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an
„,inent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying our material
„ :at acids do not !Sect it ; it is now so well known and
app„,-liated that it is universally superseding silver in all its
uses. The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver,
can only be had at our warehouses. It is the same through-
out, and can be engraved and made in all the various articles
that are in silver, from which it can only he told by reference
to the stamp. Fiddle Threaded King's

PUSEYISM AND DISSENT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,-At the present time, when the Established
Church is tottering upon its foundations, and nearly rent
in twain by dissent; it is more than commonly interesting
to observe how the suhject is handled by the Bishops in
their Diocesan Charges. In every one of the various
Episcopal Charges which I have read during the last
three years, the matter above-mentioned is noticed with
sincere regret ; so muck so, Mr. Editor, that in the last
charge delivered by the worthy and learned Primate
himself, such plaintive language is employed throughout,
that his Grace must have shed even more tears whilst
writing it than he took dips in the ink with his pen.
Such a tissue of lamentations nerer fell into my hands
since I read the well-known lachrymose epistle which
bears the name of Gildas. If, Sir, the condition of the
Church can warrant such apprehensions (which, like
hobgoblins of our nursery days, seem to haunt the Right
Reverend Gentlemen in the light as well as in the dark),
why do they not have recourse to the remedy which ec-
clesiastical history points out to them ? Commencing
even with the Apostles themselves, the practice had
always been to summon; a council to consider matters
upon which persons were not agreed. Such, too, was
the invariable practice in this land, from the Synod
of Verulam, held a century and a half before
the foundation of the Pritnatial See of Can-
terbury, to the times or King George the First, from
whose days the mouths of the clergy have been closed as
effectually as have been for a much longer period the
oracles of Pagan Greece. Let the clergy, then, petition
the Sovereign to restore to them the liberty of speech in
their Convocations ; and having obtained her permission
to do their duty as ministers of religion, next
let them put up a prayer to God to assist
them in their deliberations, which He will do,
most assuredly, if their Church has the Divine origin
they never fail to claim for it. If, as the Bishop of
Loildon said in his Coronation Sermon, the Bishops are
"ambassadors of Christ," why should they continue to
truckle to human authority, as though they fear man
to a far greater degree than they trust in Christ? Do
they dread least he may desert them in the day of peril,
calling out to them, " Whence come ye, for I know you
not ?" If such, Mr. Editor, be the fears which restrain
the English hierarchy from doing their duty towards
Christ, I should infer that heresy and false religion have
made greater strides upon the Episcopal Bench than
among the Oxford Tractarians. If what is imputed to
the latter be described correctly, Dr. Pusey and, his dis-
ciples ought to have been expelled from the Church long
ago ; but they are allowed to retain their preferments,
as though the Bishops felt convinced that they would
have the worst of it in an encounter with the Puseyites.
So long, then, as the clergy remain passive before
those whom they denominate Semi-Papists (and therefore
half idolaters, at the least), we may fairly question their
holding any commission from above. Now, Mr. Editor,
persons who shall begin to doubt in that matter will as-
suredly not stop there, but rather follow up their doubts
by asking from what quarter the Episcopal Commission
did really proceed ?
I remain, Mr. Editor, your most obedient servant,
London, June 13, 1842. Q. IN A CORNER.
[Clergymen are not the most manageable people in
the world when they assemble in a body to deliberate on
Church affairs, and we therefore think:the suggestion for
restoring the Convocation would be very unpalatable,
both to the Government and the Bishops. A General
Assembly in the South, like that in the North, would be
another terrible infliction.]

SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.—We are gratified to
report that the works of this railway all along the uncompleted
portion of the line exhibit a scene of bustle. The road from

a single individual to be seep there. In fact, the demand for
workmen here far exceeds the supply, There are in Shak-
speare's tunnel alone nearly 200 men employed; add in the line
between that and Fol (stone, more than double this number are
at work ; whilst beyond, towards Ashford, the number of men
employed exceeds 1,000, and 300 horses. Altogether the pros-
pests of the work are most cheering; and we have no doubt,
from the spirit and enterprise of the Directors, they will be
completed within the given time.—Dover Chronicle.
