church, the following is worthy of observation :
" It is objected that doctrines similar to the worst doc-
trines of Rome have been lately taught by some of the
clergy of the church. It is with unfeigned sorrow we ad-
mit
the truth of this objection. Such doctrines have been
broached, and though but partially, still to the perversion
of a few enthusiastic spirits, to their wilful excision from
the church, and to their union with Rome. Admitting
the full force of the objection, it is yet but just towards
the church, to ask, if it be fair or reasonable to judge the
church by the unsound and authoritatively-condemned
statements of a mere fractional part of her ministers ?
' They went out from us, but they were not of us.' Are
we not to judge of the church, by her Articles, her Ho-
milies, her Formularies ? And if these, with one consent,
condemn those dangerous opinions, then does the church
condemn them. We never take the opinions of a few
discontented and noisy individuals for the voice of the
nation, neither should we take the condemned opinions of
a few erratic divines for the voice of the church. The
church has not changed, though a score or two of clergy-
men, out of a body of sixteen thousand, have changed.
Their present continuance among us, to our impatient
minds, seems long; but what will be the brief period of
this agitation, when looked back on at the distance of fifty
years, and through the records of ecclesiastical history ?

last, at Bombay, of a confederacy for plundering boats,
robbing ships, and smuggling goods. This gang had
existed for at least a quarter of a century in the most po-
pulous part of that town. They are also supposed to be
connected with the pirates and murderers who even now
so frequently commit the greatest atrocities within almost
the hail of the police and other authorities of that impor-
tant naval station. No discovery was ever made of the
gang until one of the accomplices gave a clue which led to
the seizure of their books, and to the development of the
whole system, which was organized in the most perfect
manner . The police were on the traces of the malefactors,
but it was feared that no conviction would take place, as
most of the police agents had been bribed by the gang,
and they were throwing every obstacle in the way of hav-
ing any of their accomplices punished.
An extraordinary court martial had been held at Poonah.
Two officers, a colonel and a major, had a dispute; the
colonel soon afterwards offered to make up the quarrel,
but was told the whole affair lad been sent up
n a complaint to the Government. The complaint
was referred to a court of inquiry, which decided
after having heard evidence that there were faults on
both sides. The Colonel then sent in a demand for a
court-martial on the Major, on the ground of his having
wilfully made a false and unfounded statement. The
Commander-in-Chief refused the demand and censured
the application as out of place, as the decision of the
court of inquiry was then under his consideration. The
Colonel reiterated the demand but no notice was taken of
it. Two months afterwards the colonel had the proceed-
ings, with his own, charges and letters, privately printed,
and sent to his friends. The pamphlet was shown to
the Major, who demanded a court martial, by which, after
the examination of the same witnesses, he was declared
honourably acquitted.
This verdict, which was supposed to be contrary to the
evidence, has been much canvassed.

The House of God : its beauty and its claims. A. sermon
by the Rev. R. P. Buddicom. Liverpool. Newling.
Little need be said in a town which has profited so long
and so greatly as this by Mr. Buddicom's faithful minis-
trations in proof of the Scriptural positions maintained in
this sermon, which was preached in the parish church of
St. Bees, in behalf of the incorporated society for en-
larging, building, and repairing churches and chapels.
The national sanctuary is here shown to be "goodly ' as
the house of prayer—as the house of praise—as conse-
crated for preaching the unsearchnble riches of Christ—
and as the house of sacraments. The concluding portion
of the sermon is occupied with an earnest appeal to those
who tread the courts of our favoured Zion to multiply
her tents and tabernacles in consequence of the lamentable
condition of the people, socially, civilly, and religiously.
Is there not sound truth and practical wisdom in such an
argument as this?

THE DUCHESS OF BERRY.—The marriage of the niece
of the Duchess of Orleans with the Duke of Berry was
an event of great importance in the history of the former
family. Lively, gay, witty, generous, and open hearted,
the Duchess of Berry captivated all parties, and even
gained the affection of the Republicans themselves. Few
women have ever lived whose passions have betrayed them
into more acts of indiscretion and impropriety than this
unfortunate lady ; and yet, few have ever possessed such
admiring and devoted followers. She had the art of
making herself loved to a greater degree than almost any
other woman of her time ; and to this day the name of the
Duchess of Merry carries a talismanic influence with it,
even in the liberal circles and saloons of Paris. That
marriage then introduced more frequently the Duke of
Orleans to the court, but the priest party was always op-
posed to him; caused him invariably to be distrusted ;
and induced Louis XVIII., and subsequently Charles X.,
to believe that, in him, the eldest branch had a dangerous
and decided foe. It was, therefore, that the former prince
refused to confer on him the title of " Royal H ighnes."—
Pewter's Magazine.

" It seems as if pressure and resistance, instead of the
law of love, in the sweet influences of its operation upon
all ranks of the community, were to be the only elements
employed for keeping the social organization from falling
to pieces—a state of things unnatural in itself, and there.
fore incapable of permanent continuance. Every day
finds the machine loaded with heavier weight, jarred by a
ruder hand. Thus, continually becoming looser and less
secure in every joint and rivet, it gives day by day more
painful evidence that the beneficial effects which its move-
ments were intended to promote, under the hallowing
influences of religion, must in the end, and that not re-
motely, be arrested and destroyed. We may be thus
keeping together (if I may change the figure) imterials of
the most combustible kind, which any firebrand, rashly
thrown among them, rtaav,—and at no very distant period
must enkindle ; and of which the explosion would spread
public and private misery widely around.
" What then shall we do in this mournful state of things?
Shall we deem it helpless and hopeless ; and sit down to
await the event in apathy, without taking any measures to
avoid, or at least to mitigate what our tears may deem
inevitable. GOD forbid. Much of the evil would be re-
medied if we could arrest and correct the general spirit of
self interest, which has wedded itself not only to the
ost ordinary plans and pursuits of life, but to the high-
t aspirations of science, and the mightiest discoveries
of human intellect. And how shall this great purpose be
advanced! How shall every man be taught not to look
elusively upon `his own things, but every man also, hi
rnraual degree, upon the things of others ? ' Surely, by

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANIMAL AND VEGETA-
BLE Lzr•E.—That animal life is a distinct substance, and
not an accident or quality of the body to which it is at-
tached, an argument may be drawn from a comparison of
it with vegetable life, in the manner is which both cease
to exist. If a tree or plant be drawn out of the earth, or
cut from its roots, it does not immediately !thew any signs
of decay. Its branches retain their elasticity, its leaves
their verdure, and its circulation proceeds unchecked for
some time aftt•r the mortal shock is given. As its juices
are exhaled, its parts wither and gradually decay, till its
vital powers are totally extinguished, not by any determi-
nate crisis, but by the continued process of death (if I
may so express myself) attending them. The dissolution
of animal life is sudden. Its powers often continue to
the last; and the instant of its departure is generally
marked by a violent and convulsive effort, not unlike the
last parting flame of a taper, to which it is often compared.
This effect is sometimes produced when the body has re-
mained for a time in a torpid state, and apparently life-
less. It then revises for a moment, struggles, as if to

The Limerick Chronicle thus confirms the above state-
ments

"On Thursday night the whole country sur-

rounding Limerick for an area of many miles, including
portions of the counties Limerick, Clare, and Tipperary,
and the banks of the Shannon, at either side of the river,
furnished almost simultaneously glowing indications of
"a demonstration," the real meaning of which did not
transpire, but that it was a political ruse little doubt ap-
pears. Fires were blazing in al! directions, as far as the
eye could reach, and the illumination was general. The
alarm to many families residing in and beyond the suburbs
was extremely painful, and such fearful indications are
