NEW YORK_MONEY MARKET, FEB. 27, 1841

We have little change to notice in the money market dur-
ing the present week. If any it is for the better, though the
banks continue to discount sparingly, and confine themselves
mostly to short paper. In the street the rates continue from
9 to 12 per cent. per annum. The continued fall in state
stocks prevents negotiation of loans upon these securities at
anv improved price, and the general want of confidence exist-

in throws distrust over almost Rll negotiation
The news from England, via Boston, has not been of a
character calculated to increase confidence. The statemen
of the U. S. Bank published here th
had been received in London, and ga,
tion as to the ability of the Bank to resume specie payment
The shares had fallen to £ll 10s, a decline from the previous
quotation of about £3 per share. Much apprehension has
been expressed in Wall-street in regard, to the acceptance of
the bills drawn upon Morison. Of this we are assured there
can be no doubt, and if, as we understand, they are upon ac-
tual negotiations completed and securities hypothecated, a
refusal to accept would be perfectly unjustifiable. So far
from this being the case, we understand that letters from Mr.
Jaudon, written after the receipt of the intelligence referred
to, express his ability to negotiate a farther loan, but the com-
pletion of which he delayed until he should be advised of the
resumption. The news of the suspension would of course
have the effect to put an end to any farther negotiations in
behalf of that institution, and would probably check all opera-
tions in American securities.

NEW YORK COTTON TRADE—FEB. 25.
This market has been for several days rather quiet until
is morning, when a little demand, mostly for Havre, sprung

up. Holders affect to look upon the kite English news as
favourable to a rise, and advance their rates. This view is

not, however, taken by buyers. The actual operations are
therefore limited. The accounts from Havre were decidedly
favourable for a maintenance of rates. But the state of af-
faits in England, viewed in connection with the deranged
state of our currency, shows no reasonable ground on which
to predicate the hope even of a continuance of present rates.
The crop has been very generally estimated at below 1,800,000
bales, and in some cases as low as 1,400,000, or a falling off
from 20 to 40 per cent. in the number of bales. The actual
receipts thus far, however, show a falling off of but 61 per
cent. in the number of bales.

OF THE ROYAL

Of Point Lynat,lsth

TO C. B. E. JUDKI

S, k:SQ., COMMAND

MAIL PACKET COLUMBIA.
Dear Sir,—We, the undersigned, having been passengers
on board the above mentioned vessel, on her first return
voyage from Boston and Halifax, and some of us also pas-
on her first voyage from, Liverpool, cannot allow
separate without offering to you our most candid
acknowledgments fur the seamanlike skill and unwearied

,nrist himself. Next, as to my application Of it to the
Church of Rome ; if I were arguing with a Roman Catholic,
or even with a layman of the Church of England, I should
draw my proofs from Scripture and other acknowledged
standards ; but when pleading with my diocsan, who, as a
minister of the Church of England, has equally with myself
ed States declared his assent and consent to all and every one of her
calculated articles, the field of contre- 9rably narrowed

erEy is consid
I find it not oni

erred in matters b-oth of faith and

practice, but that her doctrines are vain, superstitions, re-
pugnant to Scripture, blasphemous fables and dangeious de-
ceits, I think, my lord, I should not he far wrong in apply-
ing to her such an epithet. But the articles are only a
concise andlegal statement of the doctrines of our church ; it
is to the Book of Homilies (which are of equal authority)
we must go for their full elucidation. The articles are, as it
were, the, text; and the homilies the commentary. To them,
therefore, 1 appeal ; and I fell the less hesitation in doing
so, as I understand your lordship is patron of, and takes a
deep interest in, that excellent institution, " The Prayer-
book and Homily Society." Your lorship would not, lam
persuaded, patronise cud assist in the circulation of a book,
which you deemed faulty and erroneous; and yet, I am bold
to say, that I never made use of language so strong as that in
which the Book of Homilies testifies against the Church of
Rome. I must, in proof of this assertion, and in my own
defence, select a few examples.

1. In'the hosnily for rep-airing of churches we read—

With what earnestness, with what vehement zeal, did our Sa-
viour Christ drive the sellers and buyers out of the temple of God,
and hurled down, Ike. He told them that they had made his Fa-
ther's house a den of thieves. What dens of thieves the Churches
of England have been made by the blasphemous buying and selling
of the most precious body and blood of Christ in the mass. All
these abominations, they that supply the room of Christ, have
cleansed and purged the Churches of England of, taking away all
such fulsomeness and filthiness, &c.

Here is an instance in which our Saviour's own words are
applied to the Church of Rome. The Jews made the temple
a " den of thieves, and so the homily says the churches of
England were made " dens of thieves by the blasphemous
buying and selling the body of Christ in the mass."
2. The homily for Whitsunday, after describing the true
Church of Christ, thus speaks :
Now,if you will compare this with the Church of Rome, not as it
was in
n the beginning, but as it is at present, and bath been for the
space of nine hundred years and odd, you shall well perceive the
state thereof to be so far wide from the nature of the true Church,

I then after a long list of enormities charged against

reh, we read—

To conclude, ye shall briefly take this short lesson ; wheresoever
ye find the spirit of arroganee and pride, the spirit of envy, hatred,
contention, cruelty, murder, extortion, witchcraft, necromancy,
&c., assure yourselves that there is the spirit of the devil, and not of
God, albeit they pretend outwardly to the world never so much

similar both the argument and the assertion in this
passage are to what I made use of in my letter, as quoted
above, I think, my lord, is evident.
3. The homily against wilful rebellion (sth part) says—

And indeed sine.. ..,ps of Rome, by ambition,
treason, and usurpation, achieved and attained to this height and
greatness, they behaved themselves more like princes, kings and
emperors in all things, than remained like priests and ecclesias-
tical, or as they would be called spiritual persons, in any one thing
at all. Wherefore let all good subjects, knowing these the special
instruments and ministers of the devil, to the stirring up of all re-
bellions, avoid and flee them, and the pestilent suggestions of such
foreign usurpers, and their adherents, Sic.
If the bishops of Rome, as here asserted, are the special

:he time that the bi

chapter. " Babylon the great is is fallen, and is be-
come the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul
spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird." Surely
the " synagogue of Satan," itself a strictly Scriptural
phrase, is not too strong to apply to a church, which is thus
described by the Holy Ghost himself.
Your lordship is well aware, that 1 might quote very many
passages of a similar import from the Book of Homilies, and
as that book is not only ohe of the standards of our church,
to which every clergyman, in subscribing the Thirty-nine
Articles, signifies his ex animo assent and consent ; but one
which your lordship is (a most praiseworthy act) assisting to
diffuse and circulate amongst the people; I think, my lord,
1 might justly have expected from your lordship approbation
and not censure, for merely echoing sentiments contained in
that very same book, and in language not by many degrees
so strong, as that in which they are therein expressed. My
lord, I signed my assent and consent to the articles, and.
therefore, to the Homilies, " ex animo," because I firmly
believed, as I do still believe, and am prepared to maintain
and defend, their truth. You,. my lord, have also signed
them, I am bound to believe, in the same spirit of good
faith ; and yet your lordship now says, that the epithet I
have used, though in itself expressly scriptural, and, in my
application of it, clearly justified, and more than justified,
by this authorised standard of our church, is " insulting,
and only suitable tc a barbarous age of controversy." For
these reasons, my lord, I do not think that I deserved your
lordship's censure, for using and applying, as I did, the
Scripture epithet—" synagogue of Satan."
2. As to your lordship's second objection to my printed
papers, before replying to it, I shall first quote the paragraph
upon which it is founded, in full. " Roman Catholics,
pardon the apparent severity of my language; to you I feel
none ; I would williney use none ; and time will, at length,
convince you, that 1, and such as I, are your real friends.
But to your priests I openly proclaim ' no quarter;' they are
not entitled to the compassion one feels for blind leaders of
the blind. They are not blind. They are wide awake to the
gross and fatal errors of their system. No one knows its
deep iniquity half so well as they do themselves ; but it is
their trade ; therefore, when any are so bold as to invade it,
and re-echo the cry of the Apostle at Ephesus. They be
no gods which are made with hands,' immediately feeling
that their craft is in danger. like Demetrius, who gained his
living by making silver shrines for Diana, they strive to
drown the voice of truth with loud shouts of ' great is Diana
of the Ephesia'ns.' "
Now, my lord, by every word of that statement I am wil-
ling, to abide ; and without entering minutely into its proof,
which would far exceed the limits of a letter, may 1 venture
to ask, have we no evidence of the treachery and perfidy of
Romish ecclesiastics irr modern times, which will go far to
establish my assertions? Your lordship cannot be ignorant
of the conduct of the Irish bishops of that church : that it
has been proved to demonstration, that whilst they were repu-
diating in the most solemn manner, and upon their most
solemn oaths, the doctrines of intolerance, disloyalty, trea-
chery, and persecution, they were privately teaching those
very same abominable tenets both to the clergy and the peo-
ple. Your lordship cannot be ignorant of the facts connected
with Dens' Theology, and the papal laws, and the notes of
the Rhemish Bible, which facts now proved beyond the pos-
sibility of refutation, stand recorded against them in the page
of history, and all the original documents connected with
their discovery and development, are lodged by my Rev.
brother, Mr. M`Ghee, in both the universities. Your lord-
ship, I say, cannot be ignorant of those facts, for your lord-
ship acted a conspicuous part in the transactions connected
with them, by volunteering a public defence of Doctor Mur-
ray, as to his sanction of " Dens," which however only tended
to sink him still deeper, as it indelibly fastened on him the
Bth volume, which contains principles, if possible, more atro-
cious than the preceding seven. Is it therefore, my lord, in
the face of such proved delinquency, too much to say, that
the Rornish ecclesiastics are not deserving of the pity one
feels for `.! blind leaders of the blind"—that they are wide
awake to the gross iniquities of their system ? The iniquity
is plain to be seen by any one, in their own standard books ;
and if they were not conscious of it, why should they try to
conceal it, and by denying, in the most solemn manner, even
upon oath, that they hold principles, which they must know,
they both hold and teach. add the guilt of hypocrisy and
falsehood, to the crimes of intolerance, disloyalty, and per-
secution ?

3. As to the third charge which your lordship has brought
against my papers, viz., my asserting, as I did, in my chal-
lenge to Mr. Abbott, that the "books of devotion of the
Romish Church are full of lying fables," I know not what
your lordship may think of them, but in my humble judg-
ment, if such stories as "St. Denis carrying his head under
his arm," and " St. Raymond sailing on his cloak," and " St.
Antony on a millstone," and " Pope St. Nicholas refusing
when an infant to suck more than once on Wednesdays and
Fridays," and a multitude of others of a similar, and many
of a mush more demoralising nature, with which not only the
Breviary, but all their books of devotion which I ever seen,
are more or less filled, be not lying fables, then I know not
what are lying fables.
Your lordship is displeased at my saying, in my last letter,
that " your lordship had taken the part of the Romish priest ;"
but, my lord, had I not just cause to say so ? The very same
objections and accusations, almost in the same words, which
Mr. Abbott alleged against me, have been advanced by your

lordship. Mr. Abbott accused me of violence, your lordship
of violence, abuse, and offensive language ; Mr. Abbott ?f
falsehood and lies, your lordship of (what is little less cri-
minal (misrepresentation and exaggeration. Mr. Abbot has
told me repeatedly, that I was serving his cause (though if I
was, he would hardly be so foolish as to say so ;) your lord
ship has said the same. Mr. Abbott has accused
" ribaldry and

fanaticism ; your lordship, of acting in a
er inconsistent with the character of a Christian minister
and a gentleman. Mr. Abbott's obiect evidently was, to

silence, if he could, my testimony against the abominations
of his apostate church I hope, my lord, the Roman Catholics
of Norwich are mistaken in asserting, as I understand they
do, that yuur lordship's object is the same. When I found
such a coincidence in the charges brought aominst me by Mr.
Abbott and your lordship, I could not help thinking, and
sited as I am on all sides, 1 think I was justified in com-
..

Priest, in endeavouring to run down one or f your own clergy,
for only doing what he conscientiously believed to be his
sworn duty. My lord, I bound myself, in the presence of
God and man, at my ordination, by a solemn vow, equivalent
to an oath, ,to be ready, " with all faithful diligence, to banish
and drive away all erroneous and strange doctrines, and con-
trary to God's word.", How I am to fulfil that vow, other-
wise than by preachipg, writing, and speaking against them,
I cannot imagine. That this ought to be done in a proper
spirit, that is, in a spirit of fervent zeal for the glory and the
truth of God, tempered with a spirit of meekness and Chris-
tian love to the souls of the unhappy victims of Satan's delu-
sion, I most willingly admit; and both have prayed, and do
most earnestly pray, to the Giver of all grace, that he would
be pleased to animate me with such a spirit. But, my lord,
your lordship's objections and observations, if followed out,
would lead to renouncing this holy warfare altogether, to
surrendering the souls of our fellow-sinners, and the interests
and prosperity of our beloved country, an undefended prey to
the ruthless destroyer, and would leave the " rooting out" of
Popish " errors and superstitions" to " chance. -
Your lordship has given permission for the publication of
this correspondence, but clogged with a most inconvenient
condition : for were I to publish all the papers to which your
lordship alludes, together with Mr. Abbot's, which would be
necessary to make them intelligible, and for which I have no
authority, it would be of most inconvenient length. As your
lordship has however selected such parts of my papers as ap-
peared to your lordship most objectionable, and Ihave now
given those parts in full, I presume I may consider myself at
liberty, without further troubling your lordship, to pnblish
the correspondence as it is.
Your lordship says, in conclusion, that the papers and
speeches of myself and others of the Protestant Association,
appear to your lordship " inconsistent alike with the charac-
ter of a Christan minister and gentleman, and with the spirit
of the scriptures, and the church of England." What other
members may think of so severe a charge, I know not ; but
so faeas I am myself concerned, I am not conscious of de-
serving it. If to be zealous according to the measure of my
ability, in exposing error andsclefending truth, and in doing
so, to use the very language which the holy scriptures, and
the standards of my own church, to which I am pledged and
bound in the most solemn manner, have put into my mouth,
be " inconsistent with the character of a Christain minister,
with the spirit of the scriptures and the church of England"
then I must of course (but not otherwise) plead guilty to the
charge. And if repudiating and detesting from my inmost
soul, the sickly liberality of the present day, which, can put
bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter ; which can see no diffe-
rence between truth and falsehood, and which, if our Divine
Redeemer and blpsed Lord and Saviour himself were how
upon this earth, would lead men to reject and despise him,
because his language and manners would not come up to the
modern standard of politeness and refinement, to speak my
mind openly, and honestly, and call things by their proper
names, be inconsistent with the 'character of a gentleman,
then, my lord, most unfeignedly, and from my heart, I thank
my God that lam not a gentleman. I have the honor to be,
my lord, your lordship's most obedient, and humble servant,
WILLIAM KER.
The Lord Bishop' of Norwich.
