seminaries which make thqWord of God secondary to the
acquisition of !secular knowledge, will never have the cordial
support of the members of the Church of England. Of the
veneration of George the Tikkg. for that church, I had a OF-

The word " church" was interlined, as if he did not wish his cot:
sentiments to be in the leastinisunderstood when he used
the term " establishment" only. The possessor of the-docu-
ment is a gentleman at Runcorn, who had, in his youth, been
his Majesty's page, and was with him when he read it, and
has now the manuscript framed and hung over his mantel-
piece. :(Bravo.) I trust, sir, that the same feeling which
animated that venerable monarch may actuate his illustrious

hour at which we write, we are unable to give.) He con-
tinned. Does the Church of England, then, neglect scien-
tific acquirements? Far otherwise. But, considering that
man is an immortal as well as an intellectual being, she
makes science subordinate, and scripture paramount. She
thinks the study of astronomy is heightened in sublimity,
when the student has been taught from his youth to say with
David---" When I consider thy heavens, the work of
fingers, the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained, what
is man that thou art mindful of him, or the son of man thr
thou visitest him." We think that geography is enhanc
in value when the child reads that God has made of
all the nations of the earth, and that he willeth not
of a sinner, but that all should turn and live. The study
navigation, too, which it is purposed to have taught in c
Collegiate Institution, cannot be less interesting, because t

1 Righteous, who was the propitiation los our sins. This wa:
the grand truth that made christianity what it was to us.
There was a consciousness of sin in man, and a secret feat
of the great Supreme. False religion trafficked upon this
fear; christianity relieved it by the blood of the Lamb of God.
False religion, availing itself of the pangs of the human con-
science, imposed burdens hard to be borne ; and, when it had

pered mortar, which had a

was kept asleep, God was dishonoured, society was contami-

panted after God was defeated, frustrated, hindered. (Hear,
hear.) • But true religion presented Jesus Christ to the soul
—presented the measure and the manifestation of the love of
God in his dear Son, his pardoning love, reaching
the paroxysm of conscience with a real balm, a holy balm,
which placed a new affection over the hour of ease, and so
won the man, without the paroxysm, to the enjoyment of his
God, having ready the atoning blood v
clamoured, having ready the
friendly countenance, and tl

man to his God ' • this ennobled the creature ; this elevated
the affections ; this burst the bonds of selfishness ; this
raised the human heart above the narrow sphere of tribe or kin
or party, and enabled it to expand after a Godlike manner
upon the right hand and upon the left, over all for whom
Christ died. This was Christianity. This alone was to be found
in the gospel—the gospel of Jesus Christ. (Cheers.) After

observations, the rev. gentleman suggested that.
,ocicty be formed to be called " the Restorer Society."
..e design of which should be to procure the queen's preach-
ers to be sent out by royal authority into any town in the
kingdom to preach the Gospel as they were before the time of
the Reformation. This suggestion was received with great
applause. It would be a great means of spreading the p: in-
ciples of Protestantism among the people, and it could not
fail to be attended with the most beneficial results.
The Doxology, " Praise God from whom all blessings
flow," was then sang, and at a quarter past eleven the
meeting separated, having occupied little short of five
hours.

INQuEsrs.—On Friday an inqUest was held before Mr.
Curry, on the body of Jane Molloy, an infant three months
old. The deceased was an illegitimate child of Ann Cole-
man, who lives in a cellar in Preston-street. On Wednesday
night Coleman was drunk, and lay upon the floor of the cel-
lar the whole of the night. The infant was in bed along with
a man named Bryan Leonard, who was very drunk. In the
morning the child was found dead in bed. Mr. Fred: Cripps,
surgeon, stated that the deceased had died from suffocation.
Verdict, " died from suffocation, but from what cause there
is no evidence to the jury to show."---Also, on view of the
body of Thomas Harney. The deceased, on Wednesday af-
ternoon, was in the surgery of Mr. Taylor, Cleveland-square,
and whilst .waiting for n prescription being' made up, fell
down and expired. Mr. Taylor, who had made a post mortem
examination of the body, statettlhat he fund a lesion of the
'air cells of the right lung which, in his opinion, was the cause
of death ; the left lung was also diseased: Verdict, " died
by the visitation of God."

THE IRON WAR STEAMER NEMESIS.—This splendid iron
vessel, W. U. Hall, commander, R.N., from Liverpool, last
from Prince's Island and the Bights, and now in Table Bay,
is the largest of her class ever built in England, and does
great credit to her scientific builder, John Laird, Esq., Bir-
kenhead, near Liverpool. Her dimensions are 168 feet long,
29 feet beam, and 650 toes burthen, and fitted with two me-
dium pivot guns, thirty -twtb pounders, one forward, the other
aft, and six swivels. The engines are 120 horse power, of
superior make, in good order, and are highly creditable to
Messrs. Forrester and Co., of Liverpool, and she is, we he-
sitate not to say, one of the finest steamers that ever came
into this bay, and certainly the first iron one. On the 19th
Jtine, in lat. 31.0 S., lon. 8 10. E., she experienced a N. W.
gale, with the usual high Cape sea : she was extremely easy,
never shipping any water, arid going nine and ten knots, un-
der canvas alone, the floats having been taken off. Last Fri-
day, the governor and suite having gone on board, she slip-
ped from her anchorage, and steamed round the bay,tr,ytengr
the different range of her guns. At two o'clock p.ni.
commander brought her alongside the jetty (and we must not
forget to mention that here' she was first also), and landed
the governor and suite with three hearty and British cheers.
During her stay she was crowded with visitors, for the ex-
treme
a.
novelty of the circumstance excited the curiosity of
all classes from the shore. Having taken Onbtio rd, in three
hours, 100 tons coal, and completed ai
water, -lough no pre-
parations had been made, she returned to her anchorage in
the bay.—Cape of Good Hope Shipping List, July 7, 1810.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE FROM DROWNING.—Dr. Bowker,
an eminent practitioner from Nottingham, who has been
successfully, for some time past, performing the new opera-
tion for squinting and chtb-foot, was accompaned by his
friend Mr. Andrew, surgeon, Of St. Paul's-square, five miles
N.W. of the Bell Buoy, on Saturday evening last, on his
departure to Australia with government emigrants, when the,
latter gentleman met with a serious accident. Mr. Andrew
was returning from the outward-bound bark, when the put.,
of the steam-tug Mona nearly upset by the violence of tlis.
waves• Mr. Andrew was precipitated into the water,es
wherewhich
for some time he floated on his hack. Theui
were running high with the ebb-tide, carriedhe
consi-
derable distance into the sea, ar►d,might not be
nni a'
overtaken by the small boat, be attemptedfearitn to strike out and
presence of mind,
face the stream. Notwithstanding,
and the equilibrium with which lie glreeat himself up, accord-
ing to the directions of Mr. Egerton Smith,p he became ex-
.

lausted, and haTs-u-nk some e tirt;iith beneath the water, wher

and, at the imminent risk of his own life, bore him to till
steamer. Too much praise and remuneration Cannot hi
awarded to men of such daring and humane conduct.—Cor
