Court of Chancery.
LIFE DEPARTMENT.
This Institution adopts both the Proprietary and Mutual
Systems of Life Assurance, and the Policy-holders in both
branches are fully protected by the large Subscribed Capital
of the Company.
In the Proprietary Pranch, Assurances arc granted at the
lowest Rates of Premium consistent with the security of the
Establishment. Such assurances may be effected in a great
variety of ways, to suit the circumstances and convenience
of the Assured. Among others, where the Policy is made
payable "On the Assured attaining Sixty years of age, or at
Death, if that event should happen previously," is particularly
deserving of attention.
In the Mutual Branch of this Institution, the Policy-holders
are entitled to the Entire Profits of the Branch. which are
divided at the expiration of every fifth year. These profits
may be applied either in Reduction of the Yearly Premiums
until the ensuing period of division, or in Additions to the
sums Assured.

Prospective Allowances are, at each division, set apart from
those Policy-holders who are not immediately entitled to par-
ticipate in the profits, but who will have paid five yearly
premiums before the next ensuing division ; thus affording to
the Assured all the advantages of an Annual Division of Profits.

At a M October 18, 1853.
eeting of the Directors of the Unity Fire Insurance
Association, held at the Chief Offices, 40., Pall Mall, on

her.
111. That the moneys paid by the Company by the several
holders of the existing or original 540,000 Shares of £2

ITY FIRE INSURANCE ASSOCIATION.
—Capital £1,0G0,000 sterling, the whole fully subscribed
for by upwards of five thousand shareholders, whose names
and addresses were published in the Times and other morning
papers, on Saturday, 24th September, 1853. The success that
has attended this association, from its formation, is unprece-
dented. It is supported by the most powerful and numerous
constituency existing—a fact that, of itself, must render its
solid advancement a certainty, while the principles on which
it is established are such as to command the support of the
public generally. With respect to rates, it is not intended
to underbid other offices, or to diminish the full margin of
profits, without which neither the assured nor the assurers
would be safe; but to return the profits, not to a few capi-
talists who might be the exclusive holders of the property of
this association, but to those numerous and known parties
from whom the profits have been actually derived ; not to
bestow occasional bonuses at will, whether large or small,
but to repay as a debt to the insurers two-thirds of all sur-
plus, and one-third to the shareholders. The manner in
which this mutual advantage meets with. the support of the
public may be best explained by the fact that, in the past
two weeks ending 4th October, 1853, 792 insurances have been
received for property to the extent of £582,145, being at the
rate of issuing nineteen thousand policies insuring nearly
fourteen millions sterling per annum, while the total number
of new insurances completed in the past twelve months is 5392,
insuring property to the amount of .3,082,145.

SPECIAL NOTICE.—UNITY FIRE INSU-
k_7 RANCE ASSOCIATION, Chief Offices, 40, Pall-mall,
London.—The Board of Directors beg to intimate to their
Shareholders that they are fully aware of the malicious pro-
ceedings of interested parties who are engaged in sending
cheap prints, containing unfounded attacks on this Institu-
tion, through the post and in other ways, to their connexions.
With these parties this disreputable course is a business that
is transacted for the sake of profit, as the slightest considera-
tion will plainly show. The Directors have to express regret
at the circumstance that rival offices should, by means of
their agents and others, lend their sanction and patronage to
such a line of conduct which, when thoroughly traced and
exposed to the public, must receive unmitigated censure. In
reply to the communications that have been received on this
subject, the Board of Directors have to announce that a
statement of facts is being prepared which will plainly show
the malice, gross untruths, and perverted statements, that
are being wilfully distributed by other Fire Offices, in order
to attempt to detract from the great and unprecedented suc-
cess that has attended this Institution from its commence-
ment down to the present day. In a few days a copy will be
despatched to each Shareholder, and in the meantime the
Directors warn all parties engaged in the dissemination of
these aspers'ons, that they will be dealt with according to law.

BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.—
The following extracts from Testimonials are proofs of
the great efficacy of this Medicine. That from Garrett Foster
Gill, Esq., 157, New Bond-st., London, concludes by saying :
" Whenever I feel any symptoms of the disease approach-
ing, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to me is
so valuable that, were it not that the days of magic have
teased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that
cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in
,ny degree suffeed • but, on the contrar, I believe the
tendency of Blair'rs is towards its imnryovetnent."
," Twelve years ago," writes Mr. Blake, of Kingscliffe,
~rthan:iptonshire, " I became afflicted
butteswit rheumatic gout,

A PRKER'S PATENT FOR BANDING
PULLEYS.—The Proprietors of Foundries, Cotton
Factories, Saw Mills, Corn and Rice Mills, Building and
Joiners' Establishments, and all others requiring rotary
motion, are respectfully invited to examine PARKER'S
PRINCIPLE of BANDING PULLEYS, which combines a
large saving of motive power, with an increased velocity of
motion never before obtained in limited compass, and may
be applied as well to the first motion from the engine as to
the collateral demands upon the power, which is largely
saved by avoiding the Complicated Bands, Pulleys, and Cog
W heels.

The principle is applied with matchless success to Fans,
Blowers. Lathes, Winnowing and Thrashing Corn, Chopping
Hay, Grinding Malt, Circular Saws, of any required dimen-
sions; but the most remarkable application of this invention
is to the Portable Circular Saw, which is made to perform a
variety of duties that render it the most desirable tool, and
which no mechanic will be able to dispense with.
For the right to use this patented invention, and for the
purchase of the royalties of any Town, County. District, or
for any individual establishment, and for directions in its
application,
Apply to WILLIAM ROWETT, Commercial-buildings,
Water-street, who is the sole Agent for Liverpool.
N.B.—lt has been ascertained that one man working the
Portable Saw can do the work of a steam-engine of one-
horse power for a limited period.

GREAT FIRE AT THE GUTTA
PERCHA COMPANY'S WORKS, AND DEFEATED

BURGLARIES.

THOMAS MILNER and SON have sincere pleasure in
communicating to their Friends and the Public the following
new endorsements to the claims of their HOLDFAST and
FIRE-RESISTING SAFES. The Fire at the Gutta Percha
Company's Works was of the most intense character, as may
well be cohceived from the nature of its food. Gutta Percha,
Oil, Naptha, reducing the buildings to a pile of gutted red-hot
walls. The Safe has been most severely tried, as theletter
testifies, and brought its contents out of the Furnace without
a singe upon them.
" Gutta Percha Company's Works,
" City-road, London, Bth June, 1853.
" Sins,—We consider it only our duty to inform you of the
entire preservation of all the books and papers* contained in
the large safe you recently supplied us with, although exposed
during Sunday last to a fire which destroyed the larger part of
our works. This is the more remarkable, as the intense beat
leas in many parts melted the outside of the safe. ,
" We are of opinion that so successful a vindication of the
merits of your invention cannot, on public grounds, be too
generally known ; and we therefore leave you at liberty to use
this letter in any way you may wish.
"We are, Sirs, your obedient servants,
"THE GUTTA PERCHA COMPANY.

"Scotland-road ➢Mills, Liverpool, Bth June, 1853.
" GENTLEMEN,—Some time back I was indebted to your
strong Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe for the protection of a
large amount of cash, against the violent and persevering
attempts of burglars at my steam-mills, in Woodstock-street,
and I have now the pleasure of informing you that I have
lately found the same impregnable security in the one I had
last from you for my provision warehouse in Brownlow-hill.
The floor was all trodden over around the safe, as if the thieves
had been at it for many hours, after which they got it out into
the back yard, and as it could not be picked or broken open,
they then tilled the key-hole with gunpowder, thinking to gain
admission by explosion ; but in which they were again foiled.
"I feel it due to your invaluable safeguards to give you this
testimonial, and shall strongly recommend them to all my
friends. Please send me another of the same size for my house.
"1 am, Gentlemen, yours respectfully,
"THOMAS LEICESTER.

articles superior to the following. They
are patronised by Royalty and the most distinguished families
in different parts of the world. During the last four years
their extraordinary efficacy has astonished thousands.
The Hair Restored, Baldness and Greyness Prevented,
By BEETHAM'S CAPILLARY FLUID.—The truly wonder-
ful efficacy of this unique preparation is the theme of admira-
tion wherever introduced. It effectually prevents the hair
falling off or turning grey, promotes its growth on places that
have been bald for years, strengthens weak and fine hair, and
gradually restores its natural colour, without the use of dye..
It cleanses the head from scurf, and imparts a beautiful
transparent, glossy appearance, and keeps it in any desired
form. In inducing the growth of whiskers, eyebrows, mus-
tachios, its effect is surprising.—lsottles 2s. 6d., double sizes
4s. 6d., 7s. 6d. equal to four small, Ils. to six small.
Ease and Comfort in Walking.
BEETHAM'S CORN AND BUNION PLASTER.--This
most important discovery causes the greatest delight and
astonishment wherever it is introduced. Its effect, to use the
words of numerous correspondents, is truly miraculous;: the
most inveterate Corns, Bunions, and those unsightly and'
painful enlargements of the GREAT TOE JOINTS, which disfi-
gure the beautiful symmetry of the foot, have been imme-
diately relieved from all pain and uneasiness, and in a short
time entirely dispersed after twenty years' suffering. Unex-
ceptionable references are allowed to be given to individuals
in almost every part of the United Kinedom.—Sold in Packets,
Is.; Boxes, 2s. 6d. ; which will be sent free to any part of the
United Kingdom on the receipt of 14 or 34 postage stamps, by
Beetham, Cheltenham, or any of his Agents.
For Removing Surelytuous Hair.
BEETHAM'S VEGETABLE EXTRACT is the only article
ever discovered which does not cause pain or injury to the
Skin. Numerous worthless articles are introduced, contain-
ing the mast deadly poisons, and unfit to be applied to the
human body ; many of them remove the skin, and produce
dangerous wounds. The effect of this Extract is unerring,
and gives the greatest satisfaction.—Packets, 55.., sent free
for 65., by Mr. Beetham, Cheltenham.

For Fining Decayed Teeth, however large the cavity. It is
superior to any thing ever before used, as- it is placed. in
the tooth in a soft state, without any pressure or pain, and
in a short time will become as bard as the enamel, and will
remain firm in the tooth for many years, rendering extrac-
tion unnecessary. It arrests all further progress of decay,
and renders them again useful in mastication. All persons
can use the SUCCEDANEUM THEMSELVES WITH EASE,
as full directions are enclosed.

LOSS OF TEETH. A New and Curious Invention con-
nected with Dental Surgery has been introduced by Mr. How-
ard ; it is the introduction of an ENTIRELY NEW DE-
SCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH; fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the originals
by the closest observer. They will never change colour or
decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever
before used. This method does not require the extraction of
roots, or any painful operation, and will support and pre-
serve the teeth that are loose, and is- guaranteed to restore
articulation and mastication. The invention is of importance
to many persons, and those who are interested in it, should
avail themselves of this New discovery.
MR. HOWARD, SURGEON DENTIST,
17,GEORGE-STREET,HANOVER-SQUARB,LONDON
_

At bome'from eleven till lour.

This new method of fixing Artificial Teeth, has obtained
the approbation and recommendation of the following emi-
nent Physicians and Surgeons :—Sir James Clark, Bart.,
Physician to Her Majesty ; Dr. Locock, Physician Accou-
cheur to Her Majesty; Sir B. C. Brodie, Bart., Sergeant
Surgeon to Her Majesty; Sir D. Davies, Physician to Her
Majesty the Queen Dowager; Dr. Merriman, Physician to
Her R. H. the Duchess of Kent; and numerous other mem-
bers of the Medical Profession. Those interested in the
subject will find this statement of the superiority of these
teeth over all others to be entirely and scrupulously correct.

WOOLLEY'S PECTORAL CANDY.-
PATRONISED DY THE FACULTY.
The rapidly-increasing sale of this invaluable Medicine is a
convincing proof of its efficacy. The Proprietor can confi-
dently recommend it in all cases of Coughs, Sore Tbroats,
Hoarseness, Loss of Voice, and Weakness of the Chest and
Lungs, as well as for the relief and ultimate cure of long-
standing Asthmatic Affections, which have offered resistance
to the most approved remedies. Being entirely free from all
noxious ingredients, and beneficial to the system generally, it
may be taken by persons of all ages with perfect safety; for
whilst powerful to heal and give relief to the chest and throat,
and to subdue and eradicate cough, its tendency is to cool and
purify the blood.
The following are a few of the many thousand cures yearly
effected by WOOLLEY'S PECTORAL CANDY :
Surprising Cure of a Cough of seven years' duration, after
the best medical advice had failed.—Plymouth, Foundry,
Plymouth, Devon, March 22, 1850.—T0 Mr. Woolley,—
Sir,—l think it a duty I owe to yourself and the public to
inform you of the great benefit I have derived from your Pec-
toral Candy. I have been troubled with a severe cough for
the last seven years, and although I have had the best
medical advice, I could obtain no permanent relief, until I
fortunately tried your Candy, and after taking two small
boxes, I find myself free from cough. You have my permis-
sion to give publicity to this statement.—l am, sir, yours, &c.,
JOHN EDMOND MARE.
Cure of a Cough of four years' standing.—Chatham,
April 18th, 1850. —To Mr. Woolley,—llear Sir,—Mrs.
Chiseman, of Garden-street, Brompton, has been cured of
a cough of four years' standing, by taking one box of your
Pectoral Candy, and is desirous of expressing her gratitude,
in order that others similarly afflicted may obtain the same
benefit. Please send me three dozen of the large boxes for
her brother to take out to the Mauritius with him next week.
I can also add my testimony that, from the many cases I
have seen of its decided efficacy, I am persuaded it stands
unrivalled as a rceneral cough medicine.—Yours truly,
HENRY WATTS' Chemist. Chatham.
Extraordinary Cure of a case of Asthma of ten years'
duration.—Redditch, Worcestershire, March 17th, 1851.—
Sir,—l have the pleasure of informing you of the cure of a
sister of mine of Asthma of ten years' duration, by your Pec-
toral Candy.—l am, yours truly,

THE _RECENT OUTRAGE IN ST.
MICHAEL'S CHURCH

THE extraordinary conduct of which St. Michael's Church,
in this town, was the scene, on Sunday week, naturally
excited a considerable share of public attention, more par-

icularly as parties influenced by different opinions took

different views of the same facts. We, therefore, pub-
lished the statements that appeared in our Monday con-
temporaries, which endeavoured to fix all the blame upon
those against whom the hostility was directed ; and,
at the same time, we annexed the statement of a corres-

pondent who gave a different version of the origin of the
affair. In thus publishing both versions, we exercised
that feeling of common justice which is consonant with

English notions of fair play, but we did not in any way

identify ourselves with either party, nor express any
opinion other than that conveyed in the stigma on the

transaction as being disgraceful to those who took part

It is certainly a matter of deep and sincere regret that
the inefficiency of Church regulations in large towns,which

have little or none of the advantages of the parochial sys-
tem, should cause such an anomaly as a joint Incumbency

but it becomes a series evil, when two clergymen of such
totally opposite views as the Rev, HENRY CARPENTER and

she iev:e YBVS MoBRALL should have the joint perform-

ance of sacred duties, as is the ease at St. Michael's
Church, which was built and endowed by the Corporation
of Liverpool for the promotion of the Christian religion,
but which seems to be made the means of promoting envy,
hatred, and malice, and all uncharitableness. With re-
ference to the particular principles professed by each of
the incumbents of St. Michael's Church, we shall not offer
any opinion, as the pertinacity with whieir opposite views
on religious subjects are pushed to their extremes is more
productive of un-Christian hatred than even the hostility
which ought to exist between Christianity and Atheism,

Nor shall we venture to express any decided opinion on
the conduct of these gentlemen towards each other, from

the hope that, ere long, the question, deprived of all the
extraneous matter with which it is overloaded by zealous,

but injudicious partisans, will be submitted to the judg-
ment of the BISHOP of the diocese, whose unaffected piety,
sound learning, judicious discretion, and Christian charity,

none will presume to question. There are, however, some
salient points in this part of the question which are de-
serving of consideration, premising that in all such dis-
putes it is rarely that either Party is altogether free from
blame.

We can readily imagine that each party would feel
anxious to further his own views as far as possible—.
an anxiety by no means reprehensible, if we give them
credit, as we aright to do, for sincerity. It would
appear, however, from the statement which we pub-
lished last week, and also from the letter of Mr. JACK-
SON, which we give below, the facts, of which have not
been disputed, that the opinions held by Mr. CARPENTER
have received the most active expression. Not content
with taking the opportunity afforded him by his- inistra-
tions in the pulpit to advocate his own views, he has also
endeavoured so to arrange for the services of the Church
that his colleague should not have the same opportunity—
a course which does not appear to have been adopted by
Mr. MoBBALL, except so far as providing an assistant for
himself in the same way that Mr. CARPENTER had done.
The latter is said. to have proposed to Mr. MORRALL to
give up his share of duty, and this being declined, to
content himself with the afternoon service, leaving Mr.
CARPENTER and his, assistant the morning and evening
services. This arrangement being also declined, and Mr.
MORRALL insisting upon his legal right to the exercise of
his duties as joint incumbent, a course was taken which
cannot be too strongly condemned, whatever may be the
object sought to be-gained.
In all such questions it is so difficult to disconnect
opinions as to the parties to the quarrel with the nature
of the quarrel itself, that any commentary, however im-
partial, is believed to be biassed against the party whose
conduct is pronounced to be reprehensible. We shall not,
however, be deterred, by the fear of such misconstruction,
from laying the chief blame upon those who may be:
considered the adherents of Mr. CARPENTER. It has.
not been shown that any active hostility has ema-
nated from the other side ; while the opponents of
Mr. Mom:tem. have adopted a kind of Lynch law which.
would be unjustifiable in any case, but which, used on the

Lord's Day, in a place dedicated to prayer and praise, and.
in order to show difference of opinion on the sacred sub-
ject of religion, is positively without excuse or palliation..
It is utterly defenceless, and if persisted in—as we might
imply from the letter of the Churchwardens, which we-
subjoin—would call for the interference of the Civil Ma-
gistrate, in order to preserve the common decencies of
public worship.
If such persons as demonstrated their intemperate zeal•
against the preaching of Mr. MonaALL would allow them-
selves one moment for reflection, they must perceive the
folly and wickedness of which they have been guilty.
Attendance at Church is for the avowed purpose of the

public worship of the AL3IIGIITY, to join in prayer and
praise, to listen to the glad tidings of salvation, and to ,
hear those truths enforced which preach " Peace on earth,
goodwill towards men ;" which teach " Faith, hope,
charity, and the greatest of these is charity ;" and which
enjoin the duty "As much as lieth in you, live peaceably
with all men." Can there. be any Christian charity,
can there be any religion,. can there be any desire to
seek forgiveness of sins, " as we forgive them that trespass
against us," in men who go to Church with meekness
in their looks, prayer on their lips, and yet rancour in
their hearts, resolving to show by their unseemly con-
duct their hostility to the preacher whom they professedly
come to hear It were a, mockery to believe that such

persons can be animated by any zeal for the purity of
the faith, except such zeal as animated the followers of
Lord GEORGE Gosnox, in the no-Popery riots of 1780,
when a pretended regard for Protestantism was demon-
strata' by the most demoniacal excesses. It is no new
feature in religious controversies for the most prominent
part to be taken by persons who have the least preten-
sions to real piety. In the present instance, however, we
are inclined to believe that the parties acted rather from
want of consideration than from any settled idea of the
enormity of their conduct, though from the letter of the
Churchwardens it would appear that stronger arguments
than mere reason are required to bring them to their
senses.

The letter of Mr. CARPENTER, which we also subjoin,
denies the assertion that the Rev. JOBEPII BARDSLEY
always preached controversially in St. Michael's pulpit,
though he admits that three of his sermons might bear
that construction. It would have been better for his repu-
tation, as a teacher of the religion of Our SANIOUR, if he
could have denied the imputation that he had stigmatised
his colleague by offensive epithets from the pulpit—
a mode of attack which does not appear to have been
retorted upon him. It would also have been better,
could he have repudiated the conduct which seems to
have been specially intended to secure to him the whole
incumbency. We might then have believed that the scene
was enacted in order to enable a certain class of the com-
munity to profit by the confusion. As it is, we are almost
compelled to the conclusion that Mr. CARPENTER jus-
tifies this scandalous conduct, which in common justice
ought to be prevented, and peace secured, by removing
those parties in the church who created the disturbance.
In thus expressing the strongest disapprobation of the
course pursued by the sympathisers with Mr. CARPENTER,
we do not in the slightest degree express any approval of
the opinions said to be professed by Mr. MORRALL. We
know nothing of his conduct as a minister, except as de-
tailed in the public press : we never heard him preach,
and were never inside St. Michael's Church. At the same
time, we are strongly opposed to what are called Tracta-
rian views, mid have ever advocated the principles of the
Church of England as explained in her Articles and
Formularies. We have, therefore, no sympathy what-
ever with the semi-Romish doctrines which Mr. MOE-
BALL 15 accused of teaching, but content ourselves
with reprobation of the mode in which the disap-
proval of his ministrations has been manifested, as a
scandal to religion and a libel on Christianity. The
question may be simply stated, and decided upon, without
such an appeal as that of which the Churchwardens have
openly, and Mr. CARPENTER tacitly, shown their approval.
Either Mr. MORBALL does, or does not, preach the doctrines
of the Church of England, which he has sworn to uphold
by his ordination vows. If he does not, there is the Bishop
to appeal to, and the courts of law are open for redress ; if
he does, he has a fair right to be supported in the perfor-
mance of his duties, without being subject to a course of
persecution which a sense of Christian obligation could
have alone rendered iidurable. It is to be hoped, how-
ever, the question at issue will be submitted to a
properly-constituted tribunal, and the Church, which
teaches peace, be spared from an unseemly contest which
must grieve every mind possessing any regard for true
religion.
It will be observed by the letter of Dlr, JACXSON, that

" Mr. CARPENTER has not only done all in his power to
divide the congregation, but he has actually instituted an
additional sacrament on the first Sunday in the month
(thereby making two Sundays in the month to celebrate
this divine ordinance), that his own followers might be
suited, and kept entirely separate. Mr. MORRALL'S party
has never shown any distinction towards Mr. CARPENTER
or his services, although unchristian and ungentlemanly
language has invariably been poured forth from the pulpit
by that gentleman." If this be true, the administration
of the Lord's Supper under such circumstances becomes
worse than a mockery, and is a positive disregard of the
orders of the Church, the propriety of which is indisputa-
ble. In the Book of Common Prayer, in the Order of the
Administration of the Lord's Supper or Holy Communion,
we read

" The same order shall the Curate use with those be-
twixt whom he perceiveth malice and hatred to reign ; not
suffering them to be partakers of the Lord's Table, until
he know them to be reconciled. And if one of the parties
so at variance be content to forgive from the bottom of
his heart all that the other hath trespassed against him,
and to make amends for that he himself hath offended;
and the other party will not be persuaded to a Godly
unity, but remain still in his frowardness and malice: the
Minister, in that case, ought to admit the penitent per-
son to the Holy Communion, and not him that is obstinate."
We leave the application of this command to the calni
reflection of and intelligent mind, to reconcile it with the
conduct which is said to have been pursued.

We cannot leave this part of the subject without a few
remarks on the course we have taken with reference
to the unhappy differences which continue to agitate
the Church, to the grief of all good men, and to the scandal
of the Christian religion. It will be remembered that, a
short time since, we offered some observations on a pro-
posal which had been made for the erection of a new
church in Liverpool, in which there should be daily ser-
vice according to the rubrics in the Book of Common
Prayer, and a weekly offertory for the maintenance of the
church, so that the whole of the seats should be free. It was
also proposed that the service should be performed in strict
accordance with the ritual, without addition or omission.
In our remarks, we expressed no opinion as to the views held
by this or that party,but distinctly stated, that if the Church
were built, we earnestly hoped it would be made, if possible,
a means of healing the breach, if not altogether removing the
cause of difference which, unhappily, prevails. So far,indeed,
from entertaining or expressing any belief or confidence
in what are called Praetorian opinions, we avoided any
allusion to parties who might be connected with the
scheme, and simply endeavoured to show in what respect
it. might be made to prove of advantage. As a proof that
our remarks had no leaning towards Tractarianism, or
were entitled to. bear such a construction, we may state
that the Church and State Gazette, which is the London
organ of the Evangelical party, alluded to them as
"JUDICIOUS" remarks; and there is also the striking- fact
that they were never attempted to be combated, even by
the most zealous of what is called the ultra-Protestant
party. The most that could be alleged against them was
that they were moderate, and, as we were assured by a
clergyman of Liverpool,. he and his friends did not like
moderation. Such an observation, although we cannot
believe it to express the opinions of any great number of
churchmen in Liverpool, may serve to account in some degree
for the virulence of hostility which seems to exist between
certain parties in the Church, though it can hardly explain
the extraordinary epithet applied to us by a writer in the-
Courier on Wednesday, when he refers to.the Liverpool
Standard as "the only organ of Tractarianism in Liver—
pool." Ie is scarcely worth while to combat an anonymous-
assailant, who so deliberately states what he well knows to-
be untrue; though we may remark. that the Guardian,
referring to the same article, styles the- Standard, " the
organ of the Evangelical party in LiVerpool." As, how-
ever, we have been subjected tamisrepresentation in other
quarters, arising from the same matter, we shall return to
the subject next week.
In the meantime, we subjoin the letters which have
appeared in the columns of our contemporaries, and to
which we have referred in the foregoing remarks. We
have nothing extenuated, nor set down aught in malice,
but have contented ourselves with -an indignant protest.
against an act which no circumstances will justify or
excuse.
