As they wish to have an orderly loyal population they
will confide its religious instruction to men of talent and
character ; they will not appoint men because they are
connections or boon companions, but because they are
good preachers, and have given proof that they will em-
ploy their vvhole time in promoting the religious education
of the people committed to their care. " Such, after all,"
says Chalmers again, "is the native preference of the
people for an establishment that nothing but a right and
conscientious patronage is required to keep the bulk of
our families within its pale." Let the Patrons look to
this and we shall want no other sort of Church reform.

LORD ALTHORP, after several disappointments, has at
length been delivered of his bill for the commutation of
tithes : and, as far as we can understand it, we think it
may be serviceable to the interests of the community in
general, and the church in particular; though we fear
its machinery will be found very defective. Mr. Baring
has already pointed out some very striking difficulties
with respect to garden and hop cultivation, and in many
cases, where from indolence or timidity the incumbent
has been contented with a very low rate of tithe, the system
of average will of course compromise the interests of the
church. This however cannot be helped : individual sa-
crifices may be submitted to for the good of the whole,
and the commutation will remove the real substantial ob-
j ection against tithes as a tax upon produce and an impedi-
ment to the employment of capital in the improvement of
land. Not that we think this objection of much force, be-
cause the ability to pay increases with the increased pro-
duce in a much higher proportion than the tithe. For
instance, if a man occupies ten acres of land which
yields one quarter of wheat per acre, at 40s. the quarter,
he gets £lB for his wheat and would pay £2 for the
strict tithe. If he spent £lOO in improvement and got
three quarters an acre instead of one, the strict tithe
would be £6 it is true, but then the tenant's share would
be £54, that is £36 per cent, inclusive of straw. The
objection against tithes therefore as a bar to improvement
is not tenable. But still it was felt as one, and therefore
we are glad there is to be a commutation of tithes. Never-
theless we fear it will give little or no satisfaction. It is
not commutation of tithes that is wanted, but extinction.
The farmer wants to keep the money in his own pocket;

the landlord wants to get it into his; and the,
told that they shall get cheap bread. Vain and
