The Churchman.

We are glad to find that this excellent periodical will
shortly be published, under the management of a committee
of clergymen, for the benefit of the widows and orphans of
the clergy. We have no doubt that this new arrangement
will procure for it a greatly extended circulation. There are
several articles possessing great merit in the number before
us. The remarks on " Uniformity" are particularly season-
able. There is much truth, forcibly expressed, in the obser-
vations on " Periodical Publications." The articles on
" The Authorised Version of the Bible," and on " Church
Extension" are well worth perusing. The letters on " The
Pretensions of the Bishops of Rome" ought to be reprinted,
in a separate form, for general circulation.

The Violated Sabbath, a Poem. Belfast : James Wilson.
In this poem there are many passages of a very eloquent
character. The spirit breathed throughout every line is pure
and generous. The introductory observations on the pre-
sent state of society, with respect to the keeping of the
Sabbath, are deserving of the most serious attention. We
cordially recommend this work to the notice of our readers.

The Scripture Doctrine of the Atonement. By Thomas
Tattershall, D.D. Liverpool: H. Perris.

This is a masterly dissertation on the fundamental doc-
trines of christianity. Of the soundness of the rev. author's
views there can be no doubt, while his powers of reasoning
are equally unquestionable. With these qualifications we are
not surprised to find that he has succeeded, within so narrow
a compass, in furnishing so complete a treatise on the sub-
ject of the atonement.

A Speech in behalf of Deans and Chapters. By John

Hackett, D.D. London: W. E. Painter.

This republication of Bishop Hackett's defence of Cathe-
dral Establishments, made before the Long Parliament, is ex-
tremely seasonable. In the abstract, we concur with the sen-
timents contained in this able apology ; but we do not admit
their validity in opposition to the principles of the Ecclesi-
astical Duties and Revenues' Bill. We are glad that this
measure has been passed, because we feel assured that it will
render the Church of England more efficient and better re-
spected.

The Impossibility of Civil or Religious Liberty under Papa,
Supremacy. London : Baisler.

This excellent tract, which has been published under the
superintendence of the Finsbury Operative Protestant Asso-
ciation, is the substance of a lecture, recently delivered be-
fore that society, by George Holden, Esq., son-in-law, we
believe, to Mr. Turner, Paper Manufacturer of this town.
Mr. Holden has here given a promise of future celebrity as a
public speaker, which we feel convinced, will not be dis-
appointed. His arguments are irresistibly powerful; while
his style is clear, concise, and eloquent.

Parliamentary Speeches. Session 1840. Part 6. London

W. E. Painter.

This part of Mr. Painter's admirable republications com-
prises the speeches of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the
Bishops of Winchester, Gloucester, Salisbury, Lincoln, and
Rochester, on the Ecclesiastical Revenues' Bill ; the speech
of the Duke of Sussex on Prince Albert's Regency Bill ; and
the Queen's Speech on the Prorogation of Parliament.

The Illustrated Shakspere. Part 17. London : R. Tyas

Paternoster-row.

This part contains the conclusion of Cymbeline and the
commencement of Taming the Shrew. It is a sufficient en-
comium on the part to say that it is fully equal to those which
have preceded it. The engravings are remarkably spirited
and appropriate.
The Devil on Two Sticks.

Part 5. London : Joseph

Thomas, Pinch-lane.

This spirited translation of the--
admirable work of Le Sage
is proceeding admirably. The illustrations by Tony Johannot
are exceedingly characteristic. These alone are worth the
whole price of the work.

Foreign Loans, or Valuable Information to all connected
with the Republic of Chili. London : Longman and Co.
Liverpool : Willan and Son.
This pamphlet is from the pen of Mr. Sutcliffe, the retired
Governor of the Islands of Juan Fernandez. It contains a
mass of useful information on the subject of the South
American Loans, and especially of the financial resources of
Chili, all of which appears to be well authenticated. We re-
commend this work to the notice of all who have had the mis-
fortune to dabble in foreign securities. Some of its disclo-
sures are extremely curious and instructive.
