few da'?B ; and *Mel !

The Rev. Mr. WNElLE'saddress on the occasion alluded
to, contained a lucid exhibition of the fact that the religion
now professed by our church is according to the symbols of
Catholicity, and the history of those symbols—is precisely
the religion which prevailed from the crucifixion to the period
of the council of Nice, and from thence down to the period
of the council of Trent and the publication of the creed of
Pope Pius. According to this incontestable statement, it is
obvious that we—who retain till now the ancient and ac-
credited symbols of the Catholic faith, never interfered with
or formally opposed till the decrees of Trent and the creed of
Pius were divulged—we continue in the uninterrupted course
of apostolical succession, while.the Romanists have been led
aside and become schismatical, if not on the point of ministry,
yet on the more important one, the essential one of truth.
That nut more than five persons abjured on the last occa-
sion the errors of Rome and returned to the bosom of the
true church strikes us with no astonishment. We under-
stand something of the troubles to which the abjuration of
popular error exposes every one who dares the attempt. Our
only wonder is, that any can be induced to hazard, as they
must do by conversion, the peace and prosperity, and often,
too, the life, of this world. But we know there is a spirit
greater than that of mere temporal wisdom, and to it alone
we can attribute this last renunciation of evil, as well as the
conversion of the individuals which we were lately permitted
to announce.

In attendance on these public recantations there is ever a
private and unavowed, but frequently sincere, abandonment
of Popery made by the relatises and acquaintances of the
parties who have the hardihood to declare themselves openly
members of our communion. We have received intimation
to this effect connected with the last conversions which took
place in this country, and we should conceive that the same
thing is going forward in England. The report of the Liver-
pool affair gives us to understand that three other persons
did not appear who were expected, with the five who came
forward, to break their connexion with the Church of Rome.
This we can attribute to the fear of the worst species of per-
,ecution. Nevertheless, we cannot abandon the hope that
they have secretly joined our living branch of the true vine.
nor give up the idea that the present demonstration will carry
with it additional numbers from the regions of apostacy to
saving truth.

THE NAVY.

(From a Carrespondent of the Times.)

PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—The following statement will
tend to remove the misconception which appears to exist
both at home and abroad as to the extent and object of the
armament fitting out at this arid other ports, and will show
that, even including the vessels destined for China, there has
been no increase whatever of the navy ; but, excluding the
equipment for China, which is for a special and isolated ob-
ject, having no reference whatever to European questions,
there has been a very considerable reduction, especially in
the Mediterrrnean.

During the last four or five months the undermentioned
vessels, including the Powerfnl, 84, which is now on its pas-
sage home to be paid off, have been paid out of commission :
Britannia, 120 ; Bellerophon, 84; Belleisle, 72 ; Samarang,
28 ; Crocodile, 26; Tyne, 28 ; Scorpion, 10 ; Princess Char-
lotte, 104 ; Edinburgh, 72 ; Seringapatam, 42 ; Dido, 29 ;
Hazard, 18 ; Ringdove, 16 ; Melville, 72 ; Powerful, 84 ;
Castor, 36 ; Carysfort, 26 ; Orestes, 18 ; Forrester, 16 ; and
Spider, 6 ; being altogether seven line-of-battle ships, seven
frigates, and six sloops, carrying 892 guns.
The vessels which have been commissioned during the
same period are :
Queen, 110; Illustrious, 72; Madagascar, 38; Spartan,
26 ; Thalia, 44 ; Dido, 20 ; Pantaloon, 10 ; Harlequin, 56 ;
Malabar, 72 ; Warspite, 50 ; Alfred, 50 ; Isis, 44 ; Volage,
26 ; Syren, 16; Serpent, 16 ; Belvidera, 36 ; Formidable,
84 ; Vindictive, 50 ; Cambrian, 36 ; North Star, 28 ; L'Aigle,
24 ; Hazard, 18 ; Heroine, 10 ; being four ships-of-the-line,
12 frigates and 7 sloops, altogether 896 guns.
Of the vessels paid off the following are from the Medi-
terranean :—Britannia, 120; Edinburgh, 72; Carysfort, 26;
Hazard, 18 ; Princess Charlotte, 104 ; Powerful, 81; Tyne,
28 ; Scorpion, 10 ; Bellerophon, 84 ; Castor, 36 ; Dido, 20.
Total, five sail of the line, four frigates, and two sloops,
mounting altogether 594 guns. In addition to the foregoing,
three more line-of-battle ships have been ordered home :
ths Ganges, 84 ; Hastings, 74 ; and Implacable, 74.
Of the ships which have been commissioned the following
only are ordered to the Mediterranean, being two line-of-
battle ships and two frigates —The Queen 110, with the
flag of Sir E. Owen ; Malabar, 72 ; Belvidera, 36 ; and
L'Aigle, 26.
The squadron for China are the Cambrian, 36 ; North
Star, 28 ; Dido, 20 ; Hazard, 18 ; Warspite, 50 ; Syren, 16;
Harlequin, 16 ; Andromache, 28, which the Madagascar,
44, has gone to relieve at the Cape of Good Hope ; together
with the Belleisle, Apollo, and Sapphire troop ships, and the
Minden, hospital ship.
Of the other ships commissioned, the Illustrious, 72, has
gone to the North American and West Indian station. The
Spartan, 26, is for the same destination ; Alfred, 50, is for
South America ; Pantaloon, 10, coast of Africa ; Heroine,
10, for the same; Serpent, 16, West Indies.
The destination of the Formidable, 84 ; Thalia, 44 ; Isis,
44 ; Vindictive, 50 ; and Volage, 26, is at present not known.
It is supposed that some of them are for China.
