DR. WOLFF'S OUTSET AS AN ENGLISH MINISTER.—
I quitted New York on January 2d, 1838, accompanied
to the vessel in which I embarked by numerous friends,
and arrived in England on 28th January. Instantly on
my arrival in England, in the Isle of Wight, I gave an
account of my missionary proceedings for eighteen years ;
also at Southampton and London. Being introduced to
the Marquis of Angleeea, in whose house I dined and
delivered a lecture, his lordship recommended me to the
Marquis of Normariby, lord-lieutenant of Ireland, and to
Archbishop Whately. The University of Dublin con-
ferred o❑ me the degree of LL D. From America I

received the decree of D.D., from the Pro,estant episco-
pal college of St. John's, Annapolis, Maryland. I then
received priest's orders in Ireland, by the Lord Bishop of
Dromore, in June, 1838. Immediately afterwards I was
made honorary chaplain to Lord Viscount Lorton, and
after eighteen years' peregrination in the world, tired out
and enfeebled in constitution, I contemplated now seriously
settling i❑ England as one of the clergy of its national
church, when the Rev. Hugh Stowell, of Manchester,
was kind enough to procure me the situation of incum-
bent at Linthwsite, near Huddersfield, Yorkshire, where
I bad the princely income of twenty-four pounds per
annum, collected by pew rents, and no augmentation
from Queen Armes Bounty. Previous to my arrival the
Pastoral Aid Society had given eighty pounds to my pre-
decessor; but as I did not apply for it previous to my ac-
cepting the living, and as they said Lady Georgiana had a
sufficient income, they refused to give it to me. Here I
cannot but note, that the state of the British church, ac-
cording to Pa‘liamentary returns in 1835, viz., of nearly

five thousand or ab

rued, being

pounds per annum, was a positionvor ecclesiastical mat-
ters that called loudly for the attention of the Premier,
and I am pleased to see that Sir Robert Peel directed the
powers of his vigorous intellect immediately to it. Dis-
p*rity of income+ in any church, want of promotion of

. ,
deservi,,g men, create a faintheartedness in its members
that must prove deleterious to the church's great interests.

SLID Ism.—Had you been mired a few years since what

flexible thin the rock, 3ou mieht unhesitatingly have an-
swered," The faith of a Jew ;" but you cannot so answer

now. The ancient people, who have passed through cen-
turies of persecution, trial, difficulty, exile, endless smart-
ing. and continual sorrow, without yielding the minutest
point of doctrine, or relinquishing one iota of the tradi-
tions transmitted by fathers who could not leave their
children one rood of earth to cultivate or build upon—
these, too, have been visited by the spirit of change, now
busy with every faith. Within these few weeks there has
been a solemn installation of the High Priest, to whom
the Jewish congregations delegate supreme authority in
spiritual matters ; but we question whether the recogni-
tion of the reverend gentleman's authority be as universal
