COINCIDENCE.—On a night that the elder Kean was to
make his first appearance at the Park (America,) the theatre
was burnt down. On a night that the younger Kean was to
make his first appearance, after an illness, the National
Theatre was burnt down.

Early on Tuesday, a shepherd, in the employ of Mrs.
Hoddinott, of Sherborne, allowed some of his flock to stray
into a piece of standing barley, where they nipped the ears of
the standing grain, which immediately produced such an ob-
struction of the vital organs, that 12 ewes were obliged to be
killed.

THE ROYAL GEORGE.—There is now residing at Morden
College, Blackheath, the only surviving officer of the Royal

efforts which are being made for the destruction of the vessel.
Mr. Webb, the gentleman alluded to, is upwards of 80 years

faculties.—Bristol Standard.

HINTS ON HYACINTHS.—Those who would have healthy
winter-flowering bulbs) of which the principal sorts are
hyacinths, narcissus, crocus, the early dwarf tulip, and the
jonquil), must place the glasses which contain them, for some
time in darkness, either in a warm cellar, or, if in a room, by
covering the glass with dark paper.—Magazine of Science.
ORNAMENTAL BRICKS.—It is not generally known that
all kinds of ornamental bricks may now be made without
their being subject to more than double duty. This infor-
mation may conduce to the re-introduction of the ancient
style of brick-work which contributed so much to the beauty
of the architecture of Henry and Elizabeth.

RAILROAD SPEED ON THE WATER.—A nautical gentle-
man is about to come forward with a new application of
steam to purposes of navigation, by means of which, without
paddles, or an external apparatus, he undertakes to carry
vessels through the water as swiftly as carriages pass along
railways on land. He calculates that his discovery will enable
the voyagers to pass with ease from Dover to Calais in one
hour.

Lord Lyttleton, has, as we anticipated, been appointed
Lord Lieutenant of this county, in the room of Lord Foley,
and on terms most honourable to the well known high
and independent principles of this young Whig nobleman,
viz., that he remains unshackled in his votes not only upon
parliamentary questions relative to our Church Establish-
ment, but upon political questions also.—Worcester Journal.
It is contemplated in Switzerland to lower the level of the
lakes of Neutchatel, Bienne, and Morat, by improvements
in therivers Thielie and Aar. Should this project be realized,
more than 50,000 acres of land will be gained, and the pe-
riodical innovations which desolate the cantons will be at an
end. The project has existed for some years, but it has been
resumed only within a short period.
HOOKING EXTRAORDINARY.—Mr. Fi!gate, a shoemaker,
at Egham, has upon three several occasions, while fishing in
the Thames near the Weir, hooked a fine trout ; but each
time the fish broke his tackle, carrying away his set of hooks.
A short time since he was again angling in the same spot,
when he a fourth time hooked the identical trout ; but more
fortunately succeeded in landing it, when he found his three
sets of hooks fixed to its jaws. The fish weighed upwards
of seven pounds.
POTATO CROP IN SCOTLAND.—WhiIe we hear from many
quarters complaints regarding both the quantity and quality
of the grain crops this season, it is gratifying to learn that the
potato crop is everywhere abundant. During the last week
many large fields of potatoes have been sold by coup in this
neighbourhood, bringing from £l5 to £2O per acre ; and
such.,,we.are.cxetliblv infointed, is the general produce, that,
throughout the bygone year.—Caledonian Mercury.
FREE EMIGRATION TO NEW SOUTH WALES.—A public
notice has been issued front the Government Emigration-
office, stating that a vessel will be despatched at the end of
the present month, in which a free passage will be given to
labourers, mechanics, and domestic servants, who are desir-
ous of emigrating to New South Wales. The following re-
strictions are imposed :—That all persons must be married,
but there will be no objection to children ; young married
couples without children will be the first selected ; persons
up to the age of 40 and 50 will not be objected to if they have
a family of grown-up sons and daughters.
" The union between the Greek schismatics (united
Greeks) and the Greek church of the East," says the Fran-
conian Mercury, " has not been voluntary. Free will in
Russia, particularly in matters of religion, is totally unknown.
Two ukasses were issued as long ago as 1831, one dated the
sth of July, and the other the 19th of October, interdicting
the construction of new Catholic churches, while another de-
cree, dated the 19th day of July, 1832, appropriates one-
half of the Catholic churches in Poland to the Greek
worship, and there is every reasoa to believe that this mea-
sure will now be greatly extended. It is expected that the
Court of Rome will protest against this, and that Russian
diplomacy will hardly be able to get over the difficulty."
ANOTHER HARD-HEARTED TORY.—A few months ago it
came to the knowledge of the Marquis of Bute that, from de-
pression of trade, a considerable number of the working
classes and small tradesmen of Cardiff were in distress. A
list of the persons suffering was promptly and silently ob-
tained by Lord Bute; after which, every Monday morning
during the pressure, each of the individuals affected by it re-
ceived front an unknown quarter an envelope enclosing a
half-sovereign. Such is the veneration in which his private
virtues are held, that, at the late Celebration at Cardiff, num-
bers of the Merthyr radicals, who had bitterly denounced
his lordship in the frenzy of 1832, attended to do him honour.
On a gentleman expressing t o one of them his surprise at
this change, he was answered, " Lord Bute is so good a man
that our party can have no hostility to him : we admire him
as an honour to our country."—Bristol Journal.
DISAPPEARANCE OF Two YOUNG GENTLEMEN.—The
family of the Rev. Mr. Machell, of Etton, near Beverley,
has been thrown into the deepest distress by the sudden dis-
appearance of two of the reverend gentleman's sons, aged
about nine and twelve years. They went out, as usual, on
the morning of Friday week, to take recreation in the neigh-
bourhood of the house, but not returning, search was made
for them that night, but without effect. In the morning the
search was renewed through the country sixty miles round,
pursuit being particularly directed towards a company of
gipsies, who had left Etton about the same time as the young
Machells were missed, but without effect. We have not yet
heard of the return of the young gentlemen.--Hull Packet.

THE REVIVALS AND THE PHESS.—We do not deny that
there may have been improper or injudicious conduct in
some instances, nc r do we wish to excuse night sermons, at
least every night, and continued over until morning : but we
have as little sympathy with those who would merely look at
the blemishes, and shut their eyes to the benefits. We think
that there have now considerably above fifty clergymen, of
different persuasions, taken part in the services 'at Kilsyth ;
and of these, three, or at most four, have been accused of
indiscreet expressions of conduct in gesture, or some matter
of that character. Let us take fifty editors, and, although
zealous for the honour of the craft, we guarantee that three
or four will be found guilty of indiscreet expressions in ad-
vocating their views of politics, even in writing—and when
perfectly cool and collected—each one by himself in his own
office. Well, by this mode of trying the matter, we should
find that they clergymen who hare taken part in these revival
meetings are not as a body more enthusiastic than other men ;
and ministers are but men, fully as liable to error as their fel-
lows.—Montrose Review.

THE MARQUIS OF HUNTLY'S FAILURE.-With refer-
ence to a paragraph in the Arbroath Herald, regarding the
failure of the Marquis of Huntly, we have pleasure in stating
on the information of a gentleman who attended a meeting
of his creditors in Edinburgh, on the 10th instant, that the
creditors of the unfortunate nobleman will receive a much
larger dividend than is mentioned by our contemporary. The
following is the statement of his lordship's assetts and liabi-
lities made to the meeting :—Liabilities.—Preferable debts—
Amount heritably secured, £115,000 ; due for servants'
wages, taxes, &c. £2,000 ; amount of personal debts,
£400,500 ; total, £517,500. Assets.—Value of unentailed
property, viz.—Estate of Fushmoor, £BO,OOO ; Lochabers,
£56,000 ; Glengarry, £86,000 ; Aboyne, £30,000 ; personal
property, £57,000; estimated value of life-rent of entailed
rental, viz. £9,100 per annum, and annuities, viz. £3,400 at
four years and a half purchase, £56,000 ; total, £365,000.
Aberdeen Herald.

MR. Ex-SHERIFF PARKINS.—The following is the notice
taken in a late New York paper of the last (as yet) rumpus
in which that memorable personage Mr. Ex-Sheriff Parkins
has been engaged :—" The Marino Court was yesterday the
arena of a fight between that eccentric being J. W. Parkins
(known formerly as double X-Sheriff of London) and two
sheriff's officers. The double X, it seems, had a suit in the
Marine Court, in which he was defendant. During its pro-
gress the officers, who had the Recorder's warrant against
Parkins, entered and attempted to make him their prisoner.
This was resisted, and the friends of Parkins, and the friends
of his opponent at law, not knowing what to think of the
matter, joined in the affray, and a very pretty row they made
of it. The Judge called to order, the combatant cried ' Give
it him !" That's the ticket !" You've torn my coat !" I'm
an officer!' Huzza for Parkins!' Down with the Bums!'
After a ten minutes' skirmish quiet was restored, and Mr.
Parkins was taken to the police, where one of the officers
swore an assault and battery against him, for which he was
held to bail in the sum of 200 dollars. dr. Parkins gave the
required security, and was discharged."

A MAN RESCUED FROM A TIGER BY A LION—BIRR,
FRIDAY EVENING.—Since I came here I have heard an
anecdote of one of Batty's lions, which shows the sagacity
of that noble animal in a very remarkable point of view.
Those who visited Batty's menagerie in Dublin will remem-
ber that he had two lions and a tiger tamed together in the
same cage, and while exhibiting at Roscrea, a few days ago,
the keeper of these animals, whilst in the cage with them,
missed his foot and fell upon the tiger, which was asleep at
the moment. The animal became enraged, and jumping up,
caught the unfortunate man by the thigh. A thrill of horror
pervaded the hundreds of spectators who were visiting the
exhibition at the time, and the man's destruction was deemed
inevitable, when, to the inexpressible joy, as well as amaze-
ment of all who was present, the lion seized the tiger by the
neck, and caused it at once to relinquish its hold whilst the
man was dragged out of the cage, bleeding in a dreadful
manner. He was immediately placed under medical treat-
ment in this town, and is now quite recovered.—. Dublin E.

ADVICE TO PARENTS.—Rear up your lads hard and sharp
as nails, and they'll only go through the world, but you may
clinch them on t other side.

week, Mr. William Robertshaw, a respectable linen draper
at Colne, after taking his tea, went down into a cellar under

have heard no cause assigned as probably leading to the rash
and fatal act.—Preston Chronicle. "

FEMALE COMPOSITORS.—The New York Evening Post
states, that the practice of employing women at the compo-
sitor's case, is gradually making its way in America, in spite

NOVEL ORGAN-BLOWER.--A novel organ has lately been
erected by the Prince • Brancaforte, upon a hill in his park
near Messina. It is supplied with wind by a windmill, and

RICHES MARE THEMSELVES WlNGS.—Moralists have
said that no man :ought to be congratulated till he is in the
coffin. The Mechanics' Magazine states, in the biography
of Mr. James, the projector of the railway system, that he
was in 1812 worth £150,000, and lived to lose it all.
Mr. Joseph Strutt, of Derby, has entrusted to Mr. Lou-

A young thief, named John Bradshaw, was foolish enough
the other day to go to see one of his friends in Bridewell, at
Preston, with a stolen waistcoat on his person. The article

LORD SPENCER AND MR. SELMES;—The match proposed
by Mr. Selmes to show one hundred Sussex beasts of his
own breed against one hundred of any other breed in Eng-
land bred by the same person, and which was accepted by
Earl Spencer with one hundred short horns, has been decided
in favour of the Earl.

By the new police law, if the guard of a coach sounds a
horn within fifteen miles of London, he is liable to a fine of
40s. In winter the sleeping drivers on the London road will
not be aided by their horses as heretofore ; the animals had
become so accustomed to the sound of the horn that they
gave way whenever they heard it.

The Dublin Evening Post, on the authority of a gentle-
man, lately arrived from Cadiz, states that the quantity of
sherry wines exported from Cadiz:by a few of the most re-
spectable houses, from the Ist of January to the 31st of Au-
gust in the present year, amounts to nearly 10,000 butts,
independently of an inferior tribe who ship large quantities
of wine under the name of " sherry wine."
The public will do well to guard against taking counterfeit
sovereigns, a large number of which are now in circulation.
They are so well executed, and correspond so exactly in
size and 'weight with the true coin, that they can be only
distinguished by the " ring." It has been ascertained, by
an examination at the Mint, that each contains about four-
teen shillings-worth of gold. Very great caution is required
to ensure detection.

ROCHDALE.—EVILS OF RAILWAYS.—The shopkeepers,
but more especially the linen-drapers of Rochdale, complain
bitterly of the falling-off of their business since the opening
of the Manchester and Leeds Railway. Some of them
assert, that their receipts have been £3O or £36 a week less
since that event took place. The publicans also complain
of their business being affected by the same cause, as all the
spare money of the working classes, which formerly found
its way into the pockets of the publicans, now goes to the
railway-office.—Manchester Paper.
THE MARCH OF INTELLECT.—In our last we inserted a
verbatim notice, as placed on a toll-gate near the borough
of East Retford, which fortunately came under the notice of
the writer, and who, on reading it, remarked that a great
deal more fuss and nonsense were made about spelling and
inditing now a days than when he went to school 50 or 60
years ago. " There might be," he observed. " one or two
words not exactly right, which he thought no person could
misunderstand ; if however, there was any so dull, he would
write another, which no man could by any possibility mis-
take,' and accordingly he has put the following in the place
of the former announcement :—" Hall parsons hare re-
quested to pa the towl hat the first gat tha comat or tha will
bee prosacuted and nott to carey to aney other.—Doncaster
Gazette.

A premium of 36,000 francs has been proposed by the
French government for the discovery of means to prevent
forgery of stamps, water marks in paper, and engine-turned

The decision is to be under the direction of the Academie des

The Capitole announces that M. Dumont, an agriculturist
in the neighbourhood of Abbeville, had obtained, from com-
mon flaxseed, flax of an extraordinary length. The stalks,
in the whole field, are now 12 feet high, and it was calculated

that they would reach the height of 15 feet. This extraordi-
nary growth is ascribed to the use of a manure known in
France by the. name of poudrette des Noyers.
No JONATIIAN.-A school-boy, 14 years of age, at a pub-
lic seminary not one hundred miles from liminster, being
_ .

lectured by his tutor for not retaining until the morning the
lesson he had learnt over night, and being asked the reason,
replied, " I don't know, sir, unless it is because I sleep with-
out a nightcap, and it evaporates before the morning."—Dor-
set Chronicle.

RAILWAY EXPEDITION.—The London morning papers,
which, two years ago, were not received in Birmingham until
seven in the evening, now arrive at eleven in the forenoon.
On Monday last the Morning Herald was on the tables of
our news-room soon after that hour. The expeditious tran-
sit of the morning journals must necessarily have the effect,
in this part of the country, of materially reducing the circu-
lation of London evening papers.—Birmingham Advertiser.
IMPORTANT TO MARINERS ON THE. LANCASHIRE COAST.
—We hear, with sincere gratification, that it is contemplated
to have another bazaar at Lytham, for the humane and praise-
worthy purpose of raising funds wherewith to purchase a life-
boat, for the purposes of the adjoining coast. A project so
immediately and emphatically backed by the highest claims
of humanity and Christian benevolence, cannot, we trust,
fail to obtain commensurate support. We hail the project,
and wish it God speed.—Preston Chronicle.
We understand that the present crop of potatoes in this
Island is most abundant, and the annual rage has already
commenced for exporting that valuable esculent, which one
of our contemporaries says is much dearer in Liverpool than
Douglas. To this statement we demur; the price at Liver-
pool being so little above that in our own market, as by no
means to offer any encouragement to exporters. Besides, the
Manx potatoes, in point of quality, can never be compared
with those raised in Lancashire and Cheshire.—Mcrix
Liberal.

Few of our readers are, perhaps. ignorant of the lines in
which the ribbond warning was conveyed to the ill-fated Mr.
lloskins, in Tipperary. A gentleman, of the name of Going,
had been murdered a short time before. The following
notice was posted on Mr. Hoskin's gate:—
" Hoskins and Going are nearly one;
Hoskins is going, and Going is gone."

The savage facetiousness of this distich made many believe
was not really a riband warning. Alas ! it was too, fatall3
verified by the fulfilment of its mysterious prediction.

THE LARGEST FOWLING PIECE IN ENGLAND.—A few
days ago, Mr. Bates, the gun-maker, of Crodramgate, in
this city, finished new stocking, and otherwise repaired, one
of the largest fowling pieces in this country ; it is denomi-
nated " a punting gun," and is used on rivers and lakes for
the purpose of shooting water-fowl. Its great size may be
judged of, when. we mention that the barrel weighed 8641 b.,
and measured eight feet in length ; its calibre was-II- inches,
and diameter 33 inches, and circumference 101. This pon-
derous gun required two men to convey it to the carrier !
orkshirernan.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE BY HANGING AND ROASTING.—
On Saturday evening week the keeper of a beer-shop in the
South Ward, Leeds, attempted to put a period to his exist-
ence by the double process of hanging and roasting himself
before the fire. It is believed that at the time the man was
labouring under a temporary depression of spirits, occasioned
by the loss of a sum of money which he had lent to a friend.
The attempt was made during the absence of his family, and
when he was discovered, he was found suspended before the
fire on the crane usually employed to roast meat, his clothes
on fire, himself horribly scorched, and nearly dead. He
was, of course, instantly cut down, and, though he still sur-
vives, lies in a most lamentable state.

TRAVELLING BEFORE BREAKFAST.—A journey, Com-
mencing with a drive under Primrote-hill, would have been
something to astonish our progenitors ; but what would they
have thought of it, coupled with a stage, before breakfast, of
rather more than a hundred and eighty miles ? Such was the
chance of all who used the early morning train, on the Bir-
mingham line, as their mode of transit to Doncaster. That
train leaves the Euston-square station at six a.m.. Taking
Piccadilly as the average distance each man would have to
come, say 44 a.m. would have seen him astir, and, with all
ordinary expedition, he would barely be in time for the start.
Now, from Euston-square, as aforesaid, not a single minute,
nor a single place, is appropriated for a meal of any kind, till
you reach Sheffield, a distance of upwards of 180 miles.—

JOSEPH ADY AGAN.—It seems that notwithstanding.the
various exposures and imprisonments that the celebrated Ady
has been subjected to, that he still continues to practice his
old tricks ; for a few days ago a friend of ours in town recei-
ved the following note which cost him elevenpence postage :
" 2s. 10d. due to Arthur Bolton, Please to pay
to Joseph Ady one pound two shillings and ten pence due-to
me. Mr. Arthur S—, on receipt of ss. I will put you into
possession of £1 2s. 10d. long overlooked. If you will em-
power me to receive it by signing the above order, I will de-
posit the balance as you may direct. Respectfully, J. ADY,
7, York-street, near Whitechapel Church, London ; Oct.
4th 1839. No-letters received unless post paid." The pub-
lic cannot be too cautious against impositioni of the above
nature.—Bolton Chronicle.
THE RIVALS.—A most ludicrous case is reported in the
last Cork Southern Reporter,' which occurred at Youghal
sessions. It was an action brought by Mr. Christopher
Domville Savage against Mr. Richard Henry Rogers. The
facts are these :—Two rival beauties, the Hon. Mrs. Smith.
and Lady Parker, were present at a public ball ; and the ste-
wards, knowing that some jealousy existed between them,
thought it right to provide two supper tables and two danc-
dancing commenced ; and, notwithStanding the arrangements
of the stewards, Lady Parker and her partner took possession
of the room, thus taking the place which Mrs. Smith and her
partner had previously secured. The word of command was
given—" Stand at ease"—and all stood still : no one turned
Lady Parker in the contre dance : she retired with her part-
ner, and returned with another ' - but no one danced with her
but her partner. Mr. Savage happened to make some ob-
servation, to the effect that he would not dance with Lady
Parker, in the hearing of Mr. Rogers. That gentleman call-
ed him " a scoundrel and a blackguard." He (Mr. Savage)
gave him a blow. Mr. Rogers sent a message. Mr. Savage
would not be shot at. Mr. Rogers posted hinvas a coward,
and lie thought proper to bring his action against Mr. Rogers
for having sent him a hostile message and posted him:—T.he
jury found the defendant guilty ; but the prosecutor declined
'to call him up for judgment.

A REAL SPECTRE.—At the petty sessions, on Thursday
last, Isaac 'Walker, a young man, lately in the service of Mr.
Buckley, of the Red Lion, Deansgate, was brought up,
charged with attempting to commit a robbery. Jas. Norris,
a sort of amanuensis, being landlord of the penky departinent,
stated that it was their usual custom to leave some silVer in
the bar (sixpences), in order that change might be afforded
to their morning customers ; and having of late missed the
money, they determined to keep watch, for the PurpOse of
detecting the thief. Accordingly, on Monday last, he, with
John Norris (no doubt a relation), provided themselves with
" comfortable lodgings" in the lobby, and awaited the arrival
of the robber. About four o'clock in the morning, when all
was " still as death," 'a noise was heard, and immediately the
bright beams of a candle gleamed forth. John, who had
been provided with gin to relieve (as he stated) a cough, felt
that all his courage was about to ooze out at his fingers' ends,
and exclaimed with a loud voice, " Eh, there's a leet." And
that moment Isaac, who had only his shirt upon his body,
and had made his appearance through a trap door, retreated
by the same passage, and thus he was not detected. Mr.
Taylor, who appeared for the defence, created a great deal of
merriment in cross-examining the witnesses. He wished to
know whether, when the spectre appeared, a smell of brim-
stone was not perceived, and whether John Norris, in his
love of gin, to cure his cough, had not partaken too freely,
and been afflicted with the blue devils? John could not ex-
plain himself, and the prisoner was discharged.—Bolton
Chronicle.

ALLOWANCE TO INSOLVENT DEBTORS.--iii the 118th
clause of the new Act, it is enacted, after stating that the ex-
penses of an insolvent applying to be discharged under the
Act may be paid out of his estate and effects, " that if the
same shall not he sufficient for that purpose, then that such
expenses, or any part thereof, may and shall, where the said
Court shall be satisfied that the prisoner has not the means
of paying the same, be paid and advanced out of the interest
and profit arising from any Government securities upon
which any unclaimed money produced by the estate and ef-
fects of insolvent debtors may. be invested, and in every such
last-mentioned case the estate and effects of such prisoner,
which may then or may thereafter come to the hands and be
vested in the provisional or other assignee or assignees, shall
be liable in the first place to repay the money so advanced
and paid." It is understood that a considerable sum, about
£lO,OOO, has accumulated, but the Court have held that the
section has a prospective construction. An application was
made a few days since by an. inmate of Whitecross-street
prison, named John Payne, to obtain an allowance. He set
forth in his affidavit a case of great distress, and stated that
his attorney would not file his shedule unless he was paid
£3 10s. The Court requested corroborative proof : and Mr.
Barrett, the Governor, gave a certificate, whereupon the
Court ordered the sum of <65 to be paid out of the " interest
arising from unclaimed money." The Court will be enabled
under this provision, to assist destitute insolvents, es no in-
considerable sum will be available arising from the large sum
now invested of unclaimed money and dividends.—Striz of
Friday.

LLANELLY AND LLANDILO RAILWAY.—THE ANTHRA-
CITE CoAL.—We are inforthed by a correspondent that the
Llanelly and Llandilo Railway is fast progressing under the
able management of John Biddulph, Esq., the acting part-
ner. A line is already finished from Llanelly Dock to Pon-
tardulais, through an extensive district of bituminous and
free burning coal, and will in a short time be completed
through a large tract of country abounding in anthracite or
stone coal, and iron ore, where several iron furnaces will be
commenced next spring ; and as Mr. Crane's plan of making
iron of stone coal and hot blast has been attended with com-
plete success, it is expected that the vale of Amnion, through
which this railway passes, will shortly become the rival of
Merthyr Tydvil in the extent of its works. Our correspon-
dent continues ;—" There is one circumstance respecting
this railway which I must not neglect to mention ; that is,
it is expected to be completed for about £40,000 less than
the original estimate. An association has been formed at
Llanelly, and liberally supported, for the purpose of trying
experiments with stone coal, and bringing it into general
use for almost every purpose for which bituminous coal has
been used. It has been tried with success on board a steamer
with a peculiarly constructed fire place ; and there can be
now little doubt of its ultimately being adopted on board
steam-packets going long voyages, as the saving in stowage
must be an important consideration. Mr. Player, manager
of extensive works in this neighbourhood for 'flaking iron
with stone coal, has taken out a patent for peculiarly con-
structed fire-places for burning this coal, and also for a steam
boiler. These I have seen at work, and they answer admi-
rably. At the works above alluded to stone coal is used in
blacksmiths' shops, and is found to answer every purpose.
A cupola is now being put up at these works, which will he
tried in a few days with stone coal."—Midland Counties'
Herald.

APPALLING SUICIDE.--On Wednesday morning last, soon
after eight o'clock, the inhabitants of North-road, near St.
Ignatius' Church, were thrown into a state of considerable
consternation and alarm, by the report that a person residing
in Meadow-street had committed suicide. On enquiry being
made, the report turned out to be too true, for it was dis-
covered that A person, named William Rigby, had cut his
throat in a most dreadful manner, and so as to cause his death
instantaneously. In fact a more frightful gash was scarcely
ever seen, the unfortunate man's throat being cut completely
from ear to ear, arid his windpipe entirely severed. 'He had
been a clerk at the gas works, and was respectably connected,
but his habits, of late, had been exceedingly irregular, and
he had given himself up to excessive drinking. His mind is
supposed to have been, for some time.past, in a very uneven
state, and frequently much affected ; and having, in conse-
quence of his misconduct, been discharged from his situation,
last week, it is supposed to have preyed still further upon
his spirits, so that there is little doubt that he was decidedly
in a state of lunacy when he committed the appalling deed.
We are further informed that he had recently joined the
Socialist body and imbibed, to some extent, their baneful te-
nets.--Preston Chronicle.

CORRESPONDENCE.

PREDESTINATION, A DOCTRINE OF THE
CHURCH OF ENGLAND,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

Sir,-1 am again constrained to take up my feeble pen to
address you. The immediate cause of my doing so is, to
notice a few of the arguments (if so they may be called)
contained in " Ridley's" last letter which appeared in the
Liverpool Mail of Thursday last. This I hope to do in a
Christian spirit, as " Ridley" has reminded me that the
Apostle Peter exhorts us to sanctify the Lord God in our
hearts, and be ready always to give an answer to every, man
that asketh us a reason of the hope that is in us with meek-
ness and fear." It appears that I was mistaken in supposing
" Ridley" to be an Arminian. I came to this conclusion,
from perceiving in him a great aversion to " vulgar Calvinism,"
and as politeness is the reverse of vulgarity, and Arminianism
the reverse of Calvinism, I concluded that he must be a
polite Arminian. But I perceive that I was wrong in my
conclusion, for he tells us that he does not agree with either
Calvin or Arminius—he " considers that they have both de-
parted fron catholic doctrine, which is the true sense of
scripture."
" Ridley" has not defined what Catholic doctrine is, but
it appears that it is synonymous with " the true sense of
scripture," and as he has given us what appears to him to
be the true sense of scripture,'' we may conclude that he
has given us a specimen of " Catholic doctrine." Let us
then see what Catholic doctrine is. " I hold" says Ridley
" the doctrine of election firmly and fully—but not an
irrespective election to a certainty of obtaining heaven,—
with Calvin &c.—but an arbitrary election by God, of in-
dividuals to the means of grace, with scripture, with
antiquity, and with the Church of England." Bat where
are " Ridley's" proofs that his views of election are con-
sistent with either " scripture," " antiquity," or " the
Church of England?" He tells us, indeed, that it is not his
intention to go into full proofs of his position, because they
would not suit the pages of a newspaper. Why then, I
would ask, does he defend his position in the newspaper at
all ? Surely, if it is proper to give a lame argument in a
newspaper, it Cannot be improper to enter fully into the ques-
tion, and defend it ably. For my own part, I have no such
scruples ; I cannot see that the pages of a newspaper can be
made better use of for a better purpose than defending God's
'truth, therefore, I shall enter fully upon the subject, and
endeavour to prove to Ridley that his views of election are
opposed both to scripture, antiquity, and the Church of
England. I shall begin with scripture. Ridley alludes first
to the Jewish nation in proof of his position. That the
Jewish people were chosen of God to the " means of grace."
I fully admit, but that a remnant out of the nation were
chosen to` everlasting life, I as !fully maintain. St. Paul
says, " They are not all Israel, which are of Israel, neither
because they are the seed of Araham are they all children,
but in Isaac shall thy seed.be called." The whole context
will show that there was an election within an election, that
" God hath mercy upon whom- he will have mercy, and whom
he will he pardoneth," ,even amongst those whom he calls to
the means of grace.
Again, we know that at length the Jewish nation, as such,
were cast off ; having filled up the measure of their iniquity
in rejecting the Lord of Life and glory, but although the
nation,' as a nation, were cast off, .there was an election
within the nation who were not. St. Paul asks, " Hath

God cast away his people God forbid. For I also am an
Israelite &c. God hotly not cast away his people which he
foreknew: and further, he. says, " Even so then, at this
present tuna also, there is a remnant according to the electiott
of grace."
Again, in proof of my argument, I would refer " Ridley"
to the First Epistle to the Thessalonians, Ist chapter, 4th
verse. St. Paul there says, " Knowing, brethren beloved,
your election of God." How did St. Paul know their
election ? He tells us in the next verse, " For our gospel
came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and
in the Holy G host, and in much assurance." The gospel
came to the whole city of Thessalonica in word, therefore,
they were all elected to " the means of grace)" and if the
Apostle intendvd nothing indre than an election to the
means of grace, the very fact that he had preached the
gospel to them would have been the evidence, but he says
that he knew their election, because the gospel came not to
them in word only, but also in power &e. This exactly
harmonises with the parable of the marriage feast to which
" Ridley" refers. All were invited-the gospel came to all
in word—bitt only " few were ehosen," and to the few
chosen, the gospel came not in word only, but also in power
and in the Holy Ghost &c.
My next reference is to the 13th chapter of the Acts to the
Apostles. There we have an account of St. Paul preaching
in the city of Antioch ; and at the 44th we read that " almost
the whole city came together to hear the word of God." St.
Paul told the Jews that it was necessary that the word of
God should first have been spoken to them, but seeing that
they had put it from them, and judged themselves unworthy
of everlasting life, that thenceforth they (the Apostles)
would go the Gentiles," &c. And then we read at the 48th
verse, that "when the Gentiles heard this they glorified the
Lord Jesus," and as many as were ordained to eternal life
believed." So we see; that nearly the whole city were called,
" but few were Chosen:" the Gospel came to the whole "
word," but it came in "power and in the Holy Ghost,"
only to them who " were ordained to eternal life." One
passage more shall conclude my proofs from the word of
God. In the 2nd chapter of the 2nd Epistle to the Thessa-
lonians, the Apostle is showing that there shall be a departure
from the faith •, and at the 10th verse we read of some who
" received not the love of the truth that they might be saved."
And the Apostle says that God shall send them strong de-
lusions that they should believe a lie ; that they all might be
damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in un-
righteousness. " But," he adds, "we are bound to give
thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved) because
God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation, through
sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth." Here
then we read of some who received not the truth, that they
might be saved, consequently they must have had the truth :
but they rejected it, having pleasure in unrighteonsness
" and for this cause God shall send thein strong delusions
that they might believe a lie ;" but others received the love of
.the.,.trittb thAd they might be saved," " because God bad
think it is quitetral, thati not only are eonatitinitiefi elected
to the means of grace, bat individuals chosen to everlasting
life.

I shall now endeavour to piove that
." Ridley's" views of
election are at variance with "antiquity." This is ground
that I should not have ventured upon, ;had not " Ridley"
led me to it, for I perfectlY agree with one who says, respect-
ing the works of the Fathers, that "some excellent things
are indeed interspersed in their writings ; but the golden
grains are almost lost amidst an infinity of rubbish." ' One
of the excellent things to be found in their writings is scrip-
tural views respecting the doctrine under discussion. I shall
endeavour to show this by a few quotations from the works
of a clergyman, to whom I am indebted for the quotations
from the Reformers, which appeared in my last letter. Speak-
ing of Barnabus, Who is frequently mentioned in the new
Testament, he says—". That he held the absolute freeness of
divine grace, appears from this remarkable assertion : ' where
Christ,' .shysßarnabus, ' chose his own apostles who were to
preach his gospel, he chose them when they were wickeder
than all wickedness itself, to demonstrate that he came not to
call the righteous but sinnersto repentance." Again, "speak-
ing of regeneration and conversion, he ascribes thcpower by
which those supernatural effects are accomplished entirely to
God. ' When God bath renewed us by the remission of sins he
bath formed us into quite a different likeness, so that we have
a child-like mind, forasmuch as he himself fashions us anew.'
Again, behold we have been formed afresh as he speaketh by
another Prophet. So, said the Lord, I will take away feom
them, that is, from those whom the Spirit of the Lord /bre-
viewed ; I will take away from them their stony hearts, and
1 will send fleshly hearts into them. This shall suffice as it re-
gards Barnabas—Take the following from Clemens Romances,
who is said to be that Clement whom St. Paul remembered
among his fellow-labourers and whose name he affirmed to be
in the book of life. It appears that he wrote an epistle to
the churches of Rome and Corinth which " opens thus:"
`The Church of God, which dwelleth at Rome, the church of
God dwelling at Corinth, called and set apart, by the will if
God, through Jesus Christ our Lord.'—Reminding them of
the exemplary care with which they had formerly attended to
the performance of every good work, he observes, `your con-
test, day and night, was for the whole brotherhood, that the
number of the elect might be saved with mercy and a good
conscience. Nor did Clement consider the salvation of the
elect, as precarious, or their perseverance as uncertain. It
being the will of God,' says ' that all his beloved ones
should be made partakers of repentance, he halls established
them, firmly by his own Almighty purpose.' The next
quotation I shall give is from-, Ignatius. " His epistle to
the Ephesians opens thus—lgnatius who is called Theopho-
rus, re the church which is at Ephesus in Asia, -blessed by
the fullness of God the Father, predestinated ever, before
time, unto the glory, which is perpetual and unchan?eable,
united and chosen, i. e.f. fixed upon to be the everlasting re-
sidence of the saints, by the will of God &c."
One short extract more to show the soundness of Poly-
carp's creed, and I shall have done with the Fathers. "He
terms the chains with which many persecuted christians were
bound for their attachment to the gospel, the ornamental
bracelets of them who have been really elected by God and
our Lord. These then; I think, are sufficient to prove that
the Fathers whose works haVe been cited were evangelical in
their doctrine. " Ridley" may say they are " extracts called
for a purpose"—but I have no doubt that they are faithfully
given and that they will satisfy every candid mind as to the
Calvinism of the Fathers, who shall read them without Ar-
minian " spectacles." It now remains that I prove that
" Ridley's" views of election are at variance with the Church
of England. ,•He has brought forward a few passages from
the liturgy which he thinks coincides with his views. But I
shall endeavour to prove that he is much mistaken—l think
he would find it rathir a difficult task to prove the Church of
England favourable to his views.' Abler hands have attempted
it, but have' miserably failed in doing so. " The Church of
England" he says speaks on this wise : in her baptismal
service she prays that the child now to be baptised in the
sanctified water, ! may ever remain in the number of God's
faithful and elect children.' After baptism she says seeing
now that this Child is regenerate and grafted into the body of
Christ's church' let'us give thanks for these benefits and
pray that this child:may lead the rest of its life according to
the beginning." Pre quotation from the Collect for Christ-
mas is to the sanie' effect. But I would ask Mr. Ridley,
what there is in all this to prove that the Church of England
is at variance with Calvin on the doctrine of election.
Calvinists hold that God, who has appointed certain ends,
bath also appointed means, by which those ends shall be ac-
complished, and having ordained his elect people to everlast-
ing life, he hath ordained prayer, and all the other means of
grace, as instruments whereby his people shall " grow in
grace," and go on, " from strength to strength, until ev'ery
one of them in Zion appeareth before God." I was quite
surprised to' meet with such a foolish, lame argument from
any person assuming the honoured name of " Ridley." It
was the purpose of Jehovah to bring the nation of Israel out
of Egypt, and place them in the promised land ; and having
purposed the end, he also appointed the means. He told
Moses to " strike the waters," and commanded the children
of Israel "to march fbrward." But will any one conclude
that, because God commanded them to use the means, that
he had not purposed the end ? and will any one conclude
that, because the Church of England teaches the necessity of
prayer, that she throws overboard the doctrine of election ?
Well may " Ridley" talk about " Calvinistic spectacles."
If some kind of " spectacles" had not di:ll'd the eyes of his
understanding, he never could have advanced so silly an ar-
gument. Now, the best way to get at the meaning of the
church on any subject, is to compare one part of her formu-
laries with another. I shall, therefore, refer " Ridley" to
what she says on the subject in the 17th article. It is as
follows :—" Predestination to life is the everlasting purpose
of God, whereby, before the foundations of the world were
laid, he bath constantly decreed by his counsel, secret to us,
to deliver from curse and-damnation those whom he has cho-
sen in Christ, out of mankind, and to bring them, by Christ,
to everlasting life, as vessels made to honour. Wherefore
they-which be endued with so excellent a benefit of God"
(namely, with the excellent benefit of God's election) " be
called, according to God's purpose, by his Spirit working in
them. They, through grace, obey the. calling; they be jus-
titled freely ; they be made the sons of God by adoption ;
they walk religiously in good works ; and at length, by God's
mercy, they attain to everlasting felicity." Thus speaks the
Church of England. How does it agree with "Ridley's"
views of " election by God of individuals to the means of
grace." The article declares that he hath decreed to " deli-
ver them from curse and damnation," and not merely to bring
them to " the means of grace,"•but "to everlasting life, as
vessels made to honour." •
I shall now show that our Homilies. do not run counter
to our articles. Many passages might be brought forward :
one, however, shall suffice. It is from the 2nd part of the
Homily on alms-deeds, and is as follows :—" God of his mercy
and special favour towards them whom he bath appointed to
everlasting salvation, bath so offered his grace especially, and

they had so received it faithfully, that although, by reason of
their sinful living outwardly, they seemed before to have been
the children of wrath and perdition ; • yet now the spirit of
God mightily working in them, unto obedience of God's will
and commandments, they declare by their outward life,
in the shewing of mercy and charity, which cannot come but
,of the spirit of God, and his especial grace, that they are the
undoubted childreri of God, appointed to everlasting life. And
so, as by their wickedness and ungodly living, they shewed
themselves, according to the judgment of men, which follow
the outward appearance, to be reprobates and castaways ; so
now, by their obedience unto God's holy will, and by their
mercifulness and tender pity—wherein they shew themselves
to be like God, who is the fountain and spring of all mercy,—
they declare openly and manifestly unto the sight of men,
that they are the sons of God, and elect of him unto salva-
tion." I shall now, in drawing to a close, prove the same
great truth from our liturgy, Many passages might he brought
forward, but the following shall suffice. In the collect for
" All Saints' Day" we are taught to address God thus—" ()
Almighty God, who hast knit together their elect in one com-
munion and fellowship in the 9nystical body of thy Son Jesus
Christ our Lord." Again, in one of the beautiful and affect-
ing prayers in the burial service we are thus taught to pray—
" That it may please thee of thy gracious goodness, shortly
to accomplish the number of their elect, and to hasten thy
kingdom, &c." It is quite clear from this, that the Church
of England believes that there are a limited number to be
saved, or why teach us to pray for that number to be accom-
plished. I conceive that the same truth is taught in .our Ca-
techism, where the child is taught that the Holy Ghost
" sanctifieth all the elect people of God." Thus, I think, I
have proved that " Ridley's" views of election are at variance
with Scripture, with some of the fathers, and with the Church
of England. I shall only say, in conclusion, I wish it had
been the privilege of " Ridley," as it was my privilege, to
hear a most masterly sermon on this subject, which was
preached by our beloved mid highly-gifted Pastor on Sunday
last. It might, with the Divine blessing, have been useful to
him, and have convinced him that he was wrong in asserting,
that'" the evangelical clergy do not preach the gospel."--I

ATKINSON AND SCOTLAND wATw.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD

SIR,-1 know of no local circumstance at any period during
my whole life at which my indignation was more excited than
it is at this moment, in finding on my return from the country
that Henry Tindall Atkinson has had the audacity to place
himself before the public as a candidate for council honours,
in a town too that was wont to be considered an example of
propriety, as well in the observance as in the exaction of con-
ventional respect to the different grades of society of which
it is composed. What on earth can those fire-brands, Eyre,
Evans, Shiel, and Walmsley be aiming at in introducing such
a nonentity as a fit and proper person to represent us in the
Town Hall? Is it so scion then come to this, that the town
must be bearded by a set of aliens and papists, a tagzrag-and-
bob-tail crew, whose only pretension to notoriety is the head-
long reckleisness with which they pursue a course of open
insult to all that is respectable, all that is calculated to chal-
lenge the esteem of the honest and the worthy.

Why is it
_that those worthies, with their protegt; are tole-
rated in such an impudent attempt to foist themselves upon
us as dictators. Have they so far astonished the Ward as to
paralyse its .indignation by the boldness of the stroke ; if so,
(and it is the only ground that can be assumed to account for
apathy sq marvellous) [much mistake if it do not resume its
upright position before the day arrives for reading the trium-
virate a lesson not to be forgotten.
I have just had put into my hands a printed anaylsis of
this Henry Tiny Atkinson's qualification and fitness, and if
any regard has been paid to truth by the writer of it; it must
he confessed on all hands that a deeper disgrace could no
Ward be called on to endure, than to be represented by this
Henry Tiny Atkinson.
But these things must not be • the affront must be resented
integelty Of the Ward vindicated—and the insulted re-
spectability of the town at large prove to these dictators, that
though it has patiently borne with these hitherto, and without
rebuke has tolerated the fantastic tricks which they have
played before high heaven, yet, that there is a line of demar-
cation drawn, beyond which even these charlatans shall not
be permitted to step.
Shall Mr. Paintpot Atkinson then be rejected by a second-
ary association, into membership with which he recently
wished to insinuate himself, but by which he was rebuked;
shall lie be deemed a fitting member of a board of gentlemen
which sits by virtue of its high office as a tribunal in judg-
ment on all the important affairs of this all-important town?
Can mockery further go? Is the common sense of the place to
be insulted thus ?
_ _

I do hope that not only will the candidate be rejected, but
that a righteous burst of indignation will be visited on the
heads of those who have bad the temerity to put such an
affront upon the judgment of our Ward, which, though it
may number among its inhabitants, many of what the can-
didate would call- the lower orders, still, I hope it possesses
consistency sufficient to save itself from the condemnation of
every right thinking mind in the community,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

Sut,—Dr. Herschel, Chief Rabbi of the English Jews,
of the German Jewish Synagogue, London., has handed me
your paper of the 17th ultimo, and a letter, of which the
accompanying is a copy :
" Sir,—When last year you requested my permission to
publish a letter I had addressed to you—as an individual
declaring yourself unconnected with, and disapproving of,
any society or body of men whose avowed object is to seduce
Israelites from their faith—it was with reluctance I yielded

contains anything I ought not to have written, or any one

Liverpool Standard of the 17th'ultimo, I find an account of
a meeting held by the Liverpool Audliary Society for pro-
moting Christianity among the Jews; which account states
that the Rev. J. H. Stewart ` read an interesting letter from
Mr. Herschel, the chief rabbi of London, expressive of the
satisfaction which he felt in witnessing the interest shewn by
THE JEWISH SOCIETY in the restoration of the children of
Israel to the land of Judah. The letter strongly asserted
that the Jews were now looking with earnest expectation for
the appearance of the Messiah to rule over his chosen people.
A day had RECENTLY been appointed as a day of especial
intercession for the RETURN of the Messiah : that day
would be on Wednesday next,' &c.
" To the best of my recollection I have not for many years
written to any Christian on the subject of the hopes of Israel,
except to yourself; and as it cannot be a matter of indiffer-
ence to me that my name should be publicly used as the
authority for a series of misstatements calculated to do great
mischief, I call upon ,you publicly to contradict this fabri-
cated abreqd of the letter I wrote to you.
" I never expressed satisfaction at anything done by the
` Jewish Society' (i.e., the London Society for promoting
Christianity among the Jews). Many years ago, on the 10th
January, 5567, I publicly declared in the Synagogue, ` that
the whole purpose of this seeming kindness on the part of
the society is an inviting snare, a decoying experiment to
undermine the props of our religion.' 'ln the thirty years
and inore which have since then elapsed, nothing has oc-
curred to induce me to alter that opinion; but much to con-
firm it : nor could I express satisfaction at anythinr, con-
nected with that society, except indeed at its dissolution.
Accordingly my letter to you does not contain the slightest
allusion to the Jewish Society.'
" The assertion that the Jews are now looking with earnest
expectation for the appearance of the Messiah,. only states
what ever since their dispersion has been a well-known fact ;
nor does my letter to you state that their confidence in the
promises of their Heavenly Father is now in particular
greater or less'than it always has been. But to quote me as
authority for the invention, ` that a day of special interces-
sion for the return of the Messiah has been recently appoint-
ed,' is really too bad. I will not offer any remark on the
degree of biblical knowledge which could proclaim the day
of atonement as one ` recently appointed' ; nor will I notice
the expression ' RETURN' of the Messiah further than by
saying, had I used it I should be unworthy the name of a
Jew. But, as the whole paragraph is absolutely the reverse
of what I wrote to you, I have a right to expect that you, as
an honest and candid man, will, in the same journal in which
it was published, contradict this unfair and untrue use of
my name and authority.
" I am, Sir, your sincere wellwisher,

" 5, Bury-court, 2nd October, 5600, A.M.
" Hy. Innes, Esq."
Twelve months ago, on the occasion of the Church of
Scotland taking up the subject of a mission to the Jews, I
published a pamphlet, entitled, "A Letter to the Friends in
Scotland of God's Ancient People," in which the communi-
cation alluded to by Dr. Herschel occurs. Satisfaction is
certainly therein expressed at the interest which Christians
manifest for the cause of Israel, but no allusion is made to
the London Society, whose operations, it is well known,
have been obnoxious to the heads of the Jewish people from
the commencement of its existence. I beg leave to subjoin
the letter in question, which cannot but be interesting to
those of your readers who have given the scriptural hopes of
Israel any attention.
Copy of a Letter from Dr. Herschel.
" Sir,—The letter vou addressed to me, and the call you
and your friend Mr. 'Simpson favoured me with, afford me
the agreeable satisfaction of knowing, that, . among your
people, the friends of truth and of universal happiness are
anxious for the restoration of Israel, and address their sup-
plications to the Most High, beseeching him to hasten the
day when ` the whole earth shall be•filled with the knowledge
of the Lord.' To us, the scattered remnant of Israel, the
certainty of our hope, the conviction that ` God is not a man
that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should
repent,' the perfect reliance which, therefore, it behoves us
'to place in his sacred promise, has, during centuries of suf-
fering, such as no other nation ever experienced, afforded
constancy unyielding, and resignation unrepining. Without
a murmur we receive the chastisement his paternal hand in-
flicts, and though our fervent prayers implore his pardon,
and supplicate his mercy, we know and feel, that unqualified
resignation to his will is our first duty. For the prophet in
his holy name declares, 'As I live, saith the Lord God,
surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched-out arm,
and with fury poured out, will I rule over you," (Ezek. xx.
33.) Our present abject state among the nations of the
earth, is a proof, which no one can gainsay, that the penalty
here denounced against us has been literally fulfilled and in-
flicted. But he who dictated this denunciation we know to
be the ` God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is
he.' In the midst of the fury poured out upon us, he still
rules us, jie is still our king,.and we are still his people, for
he, our heavenly Father, has vouchsafed to declare,—' Thus
saith the Lord, Israel is my son, even my first-born,' (Exod.
iv. 22,) and has thus established a relation, which no cir-
cumstances can alter; a bond of affinity, which no miscon-
duct on our part can sever. Accordingly, throughout the
long period of our exile and degradation, his paternal regard
has never been withdrawn from us, ` For I the Lord am not
altered, therefore, ye sons of Jacob, are ye not consumed,'
(Mal. iii. 6.) Never does he, blessed be his name, forget us.
For though, Zion saith, the Lord lath forsaken me, and my
Lord hath forgotten me, can a woman forget her sucking
child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her
womb ? /Yea, they may forget, vet I will not forget thee,
saith the Lord, (Isa. xlix. 14, 15.)
" With his promises ever present to our minds, the trust of
Israel in our Father remains unshaken. It is natural to us,
as is the trust of the infant in its parent, derived from the
dearest and most powerful feeling that his beneficence has
bestowed on man, and upheld by the unfailing promise of his
sacred word. Moreover, the supreme will of the Lord—
blessed be he !—has intrusted to us a duty which we must
perform, and an office important to others, as it is most ho-
nourable to Israel. At Mount Sinai, lie was pleased to de-
clare, ` If ye will obey my voice, indeed, and keep my cove-
nant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me : for then
all the earth will be mine, and ye shall be unto me a kingdom
of priests, and an holy nation,' (Exod. xix. 5,6.) The func-
tion of teacher and instructor among the nations of earth,
which is here conferred on Israel, is confirmed at a later
period, by the prophet's declaring, 'Ye are my witnesses,
saith the Lord. Therefore, the happiness of the whole hu-
man race, the felicity destined to all men, that they may
know and worship God in truth, and become h.s from their
own free will and conviction, depends upon Israel's obeying
his voice, and keeping his covenant. Wherever he is driven,
the Israelite is still the witness,' whose bare presence attests
the unity and omnipotence of God, until the day when He
will restore to the nations a pure language, that they may

call upon the name of the Lord, with one consent, to serf:,
him, (Zeph. iii. 9.) When that blessed P"rPose i l
