TO THE EDITOR OP THE LIPERPOOL ST.4ND4RD.

Sin,—ln answer to the Chronicle, when he says "That the
fire-police had just been formed when the present commis-
sioners entered office ; that it was an untried institution—
destitute of experience, and that it now possesses the conti-
deuce of the fire-offices and the mercantile body," it may be
stated, that the fire at the shipwright's-vard, in Trentham-
street, was the first ever attended by the Are-police, and then
they came out to early. This fire happened iu August. As
the commissioners were appointed in April previous, it follows
of course, that all the subsequent incapacity. blunders. and dis-
grace of the fire-police rests exclusively with the present men.
The fire-pollee, as now instituted, has nut the confidence of the
fire-office, in proof of which these bodies have given notice that
they wilt no Imiper Tray firr expenses incurred at fires after the
expiration of the present agreement, which will be in about three
'months more. The fire-offices have, with great justice, con.sider-
ed the fire-police inefficient, as it has EFFECTED NOTHING
• towards providing an instant and plentiful supply of water when
'fires break out. The fire-offices decline having any faith in the
four casks of water, which is all that the fire-police is possessed
of, and for these there are no funds at present to provide with a
better apparatus fur delivering their water. To say that the
fire-police possesses the confidence of our merchants is a gross
libel on the intelligence of so respectable a body of men. Can
it be imagined that they for one munrent would submit to the
present uutevons rates of insurance, so Irma:roes TO THE
TII ADE UP' TIIE PORT, if they had confidence in the fire-police.
When WATER Is PROVIDED, the insurance companies stand
pledged to reduce their rates. With this knowledge, had our
watch commissioners been men of tact, they-would have spent
the £lOOO from the parish funds in remedying the evil com-
plained of, and left the expenses of engines and suppressing of
fires to the fire-offices as formerly, and as most interested therein,
and which was done to them at a cost. of £.lOOO to £3501) per
annutn. There would then have been from £2OOO to £2.500 to-
wards maintaining an efficient tire-police.
The best materiel belonging to the fire-police at this moment
is the old engines presented to it by the insurance companies.
Ott inquiry and examination this will be found to he the fact,
and that on these only does the foreman place his greatest reli-
ance. This individual is the only one connected with the fire-
police who has seen Pug service, and is really experienced in
his business.

To sum up, the fire-police, or watch commissioners, have
done nothing towards relieving the commerce of the port from
the extraordinary high rates of insurance. On the contrary,
Houle of their regulations threaten far greater calamities for the
future, for will it be believed, the calling together of watermen,
and securing their joint operations, which extend over miles of
ground, is now trusted to one small bell instead of many as
hitherto ? X.

FT ORAI. SOCIETY.—The first exhibition for the year of this
society will take place at the Corn Exchange, Brunswick-street,
to-morrow. The show of auriculas, fruits, vegetables, &c. will,
we are informed, be superior to that of any former spring exhi-
bition of the society.
MR. WILLIAM FORSTER.—This gentleman, being about to
leave Liverpool, has lately been presented with a splendid silver
box, bearing the following inscription :--
-" Preserned to Mr. William Forster, late master of the Hun-
ter-street Free School, on his leaving Liverpool, by a numerous
body of his former pupae, as a mark of their affectionate esteem
andgralitude. April, A.D. 1835."
SINGULAR COINCIDEicCE.—A few days ago the shop of Meemrs.
Smith, Hill, and Co., linen-drapers, of Short Millgate, Man-
chester,
was entered by thieves, and a considerable sum of uto•
ney stolen therefrom. Robberies of this description are, of
course, very frequent in Manchester and the neighbourhood, and
the only incident that, may render a relation of this interesting
is the singular fact, that about the same suns es that stolen front
Messrs. Smith and Co. was forwarded the next day to Devon-
shire for the purpose of assisting to defray the expenses attend-
ant
upon Lord Jolla Russell's caisvass for that couuty.

lately held near London Mr. P. Driukwater presisle.4, chair-

A. IkIAN KILLIO IN A FIGHT.-011 Mondaylatif, %tts inquest
was held before Mr. Rutter, coroner, on view` Of the body. of
James Battier Hope, a labouring man about 41 years of age,
who was killed while fighting with one of his totaspanions, in a
field ,at Bradford, near this town, on Sunday afternoon. The.
• Bret Witness examined was James Blease, a .hiruter's•setrant at
'Bradford, who stated that about four o'clock on Sunday after;
aioota, be saw a crowd of forty or fifty persons in a field- opposite
.his house. He wept to them, and found that the -deceased and
.Robinson were going.to fight, and he told them they 'must not
light there, for if they attempted to do any thing of the sort -he
would fetch a constable. Some of the party rejoined that they
should not be many minutes, and immediately a•ring was
cleared, they shook •bands and began to fight. They fought
-five or six rounds, which lasted about a quarter of an hour,
when Robinson hit deceased a heavy blow and knocked him
down, and he lay-on the ground like a corpse. Thinking that
the man was killed, Blouse ran to get assistance to Aeciire the
parties who had been active in the debt, but on his return in
about five minutes he found that all of them had run away, and
that the unfortunate man was dead. The body was removed
into lie out-house, and, information being given to the police,
four men, named Peter Morgan, Robert Clarkson, John Cham-
bers, and Thomas M'Kean, were taken into custody, together
with Robinson, on suspicion of being the parties implicated in
Hope's death. The witness, Blease, identified the fits: three
as being active iu the affair. Morgan, he said, was the man
.who cleared the ring, Clarkson acted as bottle-holder for both
parties. and sprinkled their faces with water between the rounds,
and Chambers was urging them on to fight, and offering to
bet wagers•,uteon the event of the battle. Another witness
swore that M`ean was also busy ies keeping the ring. A man,
stained. Stock, deposed he was going along the field before the
fight, When the crowd passed him, and he heard the deceased
say to Robinson, !‘ Jent, let's shake bandg, and have a quart
of ale and make it up ;" to which Robinson replied, "Well,
come." Clarkson, on hearing this, said " You must not make
d-----d fools of us in that way, now you have brought us so far;
for if you don't fight I'll mill one of you, and I'll get some-
body Co mill the other." Tbis statement was corroborated by !
auoiher witness, but he attributed the remark to Morgan. The
head and body of the deceased were examined by Mr. Oilier,
who stated that the lower jaw bone was broken, and some of
the teeth loosened. Theme was a quantity of extravasated blood
_behind each ear, and throughout the membranes of the brain,
which had been caused by external violence, and produced
death. The jury, after a brief deliberation, returned a verdict
of " Manslaughter" against all the five prisouers, and• they
were committed to Lancaster Castle for trial at the assizes. No
evidence was given before the jury as to the origin of the quar-
rel, but it was stated that the deceased and his companions
were all intoxicated when the fight took place.— Nand/ewer
Courier.

Asti; RIC NT LA DIES.—The female's in New York do not look
up to man for his respect. They claim it as a homage. due to
them. They look like beings accustomed to command, and let
you be as kind as ever you will to a female, she thinks it no
more than her due. If you are riding In a coach, and a female
of the lowest class enters it, you must resign your seat to her.
It is demanded as her right. The Yankees laugh at the English
for allowing a Queen to reign over them, but they (poor hen-
pecked creatures) are subject,.every one of them, to the despot
ism of a petticoat government. It is this circumstance which
gives a key to the character of the New York ludas,. H a poll*
tical change is to he brought about in the situation of the no=
groes, it is the combined forces of the clergy and the ladies who
effect it. it will be asked—how does this new system of things
answer? Do the ladies make good housewives? Are they
loving and obedient wives? Is the moral character of the la•
dies as high as it is in Scotland? The generality of the ladies
in New York are said to make very bad wives. They neglect
the household duties; and the time which ought to be occupied
in domestic affairs is spent attending societies of different kinds.
They are also allowed to be very extravagant; and separa-
tions, inhibitions, and divorces are common affairs.—Travels in
America.

EXPLOSION OF A POWDER MILL.—On Thursday., between
seven and eight in the morning, the corning house of Ramhurst
Powder Mills, near Tunbridge town, blew up with an explosion
that was felt for miles round the spot, by which two men lost
their lives, one of the name of Bravery, and the other Osborne.
'The body of one of the poor sufferers was found a considerable
distance off, greatly mutilated, and life quite extinct. The
other was discovered in a similar state, but suffering. great tor-
trse, of which death relieved him in a very short time. It is
painful to state that both men have left families to deplore their
loss. Osborne's wife was about two months since confined bf
her ninth child, all of whom, we hear, are living. Nothing as
to the cause of the sad catastrophe can be ascertained, as the
above two individuals were the only persons then employed in
that department of the mills. There have been three explo-
sions at the same mills iu seven years; and it is a remarkable
coincidence that all have happened in the month of April.
These mills have been established upwards of twenty years, but
no accidents have occurred besides those mentioned. The
buildings are so exceedingly well arranged, by a sufficient space
being left between each, that an accident can happen only in
one department at a time. We have been informed by a person
who visited the place within half an hour after this last explo-
sion happened, that, as au additional preventative against any
danger, there is over each erection a large reservoir of water,
sufficient to extinguish any fire that me v arise from these much
to be dreaded occurrences.—Bnyliton Paper.
IoLENT DEATHS OF ILLESTRIODS WRITERS OF ANTIQUITY,
—By a strange fatality, a great proportion of the illustrious
writers of antiquity were prematurely cut off from existence.
Euripides sod fieraclitus were torn to pieces by dogs. Thee.
critus ended his career by the halter. Empeducles was lost in
the crater of Mount 2Etua. IleSiod was Murdered by his secret
enemies. Archilocus an Ibycus, by banditti. Sappho threw
herself from a precipice. etsenyliis perished by the fall of a
.tortoise from the claws of an eagle. Anacreon (as might have
been expected) owed his death to the juice of . the vine,'Cr.
tinus and Terence experienced the same fate with Menander
who was drowned. Seneca and Lucan were condemned to
death by a tyrant, cut their veins, and died repeating their own
verses; and Petronius and Arbiter met with a similar catas-
trophe. Lucretius, it is said, wrote ander the doiniuion of a
philtre administered by his mistress, and destroyed himself from
its effects. Poison, though swallowed under very different cir-
cumstances, cut short both the days of Socrates and Demosthenes,
and Cicero fell under the proscription of the triumvirates. It
is truly wonderful that so many men, the professed votaries.of
peace and retirement, should have met with fates so widely
different from that to which the common casualties of life should
seem to expose them. Philemon died of laughter. Entering a
room to eat figs, he found an ass leisurely devouring them one
by one; to complete the repast, he ordered a slave to present a
goblet of wine to his long-eared guest. The ridiculous effect
produced so violent a fit of laughter that he was suffocated in
the struggle.—Blunt's Greek Anthology.
UNMARRIED LADIRS —The single state is no diminution of
the beauties and the utilities of the female character; on the
contrary, our present life would lose many of the comforts, and
much likewise ut what is absolutely essential to the well-beinieof
every part of society, and even of the private home, without the
unmarried female. To how many a father, mother, brother,
and not less a sister, is she both a necessity and a blessing!
How many orphans have to look up with gratitude to her care
and kindness ? How many nephews and nieces owe their
youne felicities and improvements to her? Were every woman
married, the paternal home would in declining life be a soli•
tary abode, when affectionate attentions are most precious, and,
but from such a source, not attainable. It is the single class of
women which supplies most of our teachers and governesses;
and from the "lower rank' nearly all the domestic assistants' of
our household come. What vast changes not prornotite of the
general happiness would ensue in every station of.life if every
female mart ied as soon as she was fully grown ! Certainly
human life would in that case have a different aspect, and must
be regulated on a new principle, and would lead to consequences
which cannot be calculated. The single woman is therefore as
important an element of social and private happiness as the
married one. The utilities of each are different, but both are
necessary; and it is vulgar nonsense, unworthy of manly reason
and discreditable to every just feeling, for any one to deprecate
the unmarried condition. If from what is beneficial we turn-to
what is interesting the single lady, is not surpassed by the
wedded matron. no small portion of her life, I think for
the whole of it, with judicious conduct, she is indeed the more
attractive personage. The wife. resigns, or ought to resign, al-
ways her claims to general attention; and to concentrate and
to confine her regards and wishes and objects to her chosen
companion, and domestic claims and scenes. She has quitted
the public stage; she seeks no more the general gaze ; she has
become part of a distinct and separated proprietary. But the
unmarried lady remains still the candidate for every honourable
notice, and injures no one by receiving it. Those of the male
sex who are in the same condition are at full liberty to pay her
their proper attentions as she is to receive them. Being in this
position as to society at large, she is always interesting wherever
she goes; and, if she preserve her good temper, her steady con-
duct, and her modest reputation undiminished, and cultivate her
amiable, her intellectual, and her truly feminine qualities, she
cannot go anywhere, in any station of life, withoet being au obi
ject of interest and pleasurable feeling to all those of her circle
with whom she may choose to be acquainted.—Turner's Sacred
History.
THE THREE RUNAWAYS.—Lord Camelford when once din-
ing with Burdett and Tooke:lamented that his education had
been greatly neglected, adding that " be regretted exceedingly
that he had run away from the Charter House." On this'Sir
Francis observed with a deep sigh that he had also to lament
that "he had run away front WestminSter." Mr. Horne
Tooke, however, consoled them both by 'observing " that be,
too, had run away from Eton."

ENN t,—A French lady has just bequeathed 20,0 X) francs to

annually, is to be given for the best treatise on the baneful in-

COU%SLL Fon PRISONERS.--n the course.of -a trial in the
Crown Court at the Gloucester Assizes, 'Mr. Watson said he
hoped that Counsel for prisoners would soon have the right -of
addressing the Jury. Mr. Justice Parke replied;' i hope• and
trust they never will; it will be the ruin of counties—the ex-
penses will be enormously increased—business will never be got
through—and it will be the worst thing for the prisoners that
ever happened to them. At present the Judges a►e the Counsels
for the prisoners, which they would then cease to be. I hope
that. I shall always, as I have dune, carefully watch over the
interests of the accused."

ESCAPE FROM HUNTINGDON PRISON.—OD Wednesday
morning, about nine o'clock, John Gunton, one of the prisoners,
under sentence for an assault, in the county gaol,- contrived to
make his escape from the prison. He was, within a few minutes
after gaining his liberty, pursued by the turnkey and others, hut
having the start of them contrived to keep a-head, and, passing
over the enclosures between the gaol and Hertford,. took the
bank of the river, and continued his course towards St. Ives,
where Cole and another assistant joined in the pursuit: rind- •
ing himself hotly pressed and with little chance "of escape ex-
cept by some desperate effort, he plunged into 'the river at a
deep and broad part, and swam across, and thus succeeded in
bathing his pursuers for a time. He was last seen in the Fens
near Itoinsey, and it is to be hoped will soon be brought back
to his old quarters. He is a bargeman of St. Ives, twenty-Prr
rears of age. His term of imprisonment had nearly expired.
A reward is offered for his apprehension.—Belfast Chronicle.
There are some vices which carry a sword in their hands, and
cut a man off before his time.--Jeremy Taylor.

It is a great consolation to the true ehristian under the
assault and indignities of his hnemies, that he has thus en
opportunity given him of bestowing that forgiveness on his fel-
low-creatures, which is the pledge and condition of his own
pardon from his Creator.

It is among the wicked maxims of bold and disloyal under-
takers, that bad actions must always be seconded with worst•,
and rather not be begun than not carried on, for they think the
retreat more dangerous than the assault., and hate repentance
more than perseverance in a fa:ht.—Bo:dike.

We have been urged by' several correspondents to put
clearly and plainly' before the public the actual nature
and the probable effect of Lord John Russell's resolution
relative to the Irish church. It is said, not without some
show of truth we think, that while one class of persons
abuses the resolution merely because .it is Lord John
Russell's, and another praises it for no better reason, the
merits of the case are wholly overlooked. We will, as
shortly as possible, give' our readers the means of judging
in this important matter.
Lord John Russell, then, assuming that the revenues
of the Irish church were twice as great as in reality they
are, and taking it as certain that the Irish protestant es-
tablishment was so rich that, without making- ducks and
drakes of their money, the clergy could not possibly get
rid of their superabundant wealth, moved a resolution
that the surplus revenues.of the church should be appro-
priated to purposes of education. It was in vain to tell
Lord John Russell that many Of 'the rich and bloated
clergy of his imagination had received no tithes for three
years past, and they and their families were well nigh
starving. Even the following passage from one of these
unhappy persons, who Lord John Russell will haVe it are
as rich as Jews, read in_the house, and urged with all the
fervid eloquence and manly feeling that characterized the
speech of Sir R. Peel, had no effect upon the ruthless
,spoliator I effected," says the
.poor parson, "'the
composition in my parish (in 1532) at a sacrifice of £l5O
per annum of the income I was for years in receipt of—
namely, £5BO, thus voluntarily reduced by me to £430.
By the prOposed bill (Sir R. Peel'S tithe bill,) this will
be further; reduced to £3'22 10s,,out of which I must pay
£5O insurance, £43 ient; £29' first fruits, leaving a
balance of £2OO 10s. to support my beloved wife„,-ten
children, and myself, after being about forty, years an un-
worthy labourer in the christian vineyard." How
strange it is that an appetite for plunder, even whetted
with Woburn, should still crave andlong for the pittances
that poor ecclesiastics are content not-only to live upon
biit to work for. ,But. why should we complain of Lord
'Jblin Russell when a Wiese of Commons, an assembly
of christian and protestant men, was found'to sanction
the scheme and pass the resolution ?
We come next to the manner in which the resolution
is to be carried into effect. Sit Henry Hardinge pressed
Lord John Russell• upon this practical point. He re-
minded the mover of the resolution that any tithe com-
mutation bill must materially reduce the revenues of the
clergy; that according to one propUsal they would get
£7O, and according to another £73, in lieu of every
£lOO which they have now airight to claim for tithes;
and he therefore begged to know how Lord John Russell
proposed to make out the surplus which his resolution
appropriated. This was the language used by Sir Henry
Hardinge
" When the church temporalities' bill was introduced
to the house, Lord Grey, then at the head of that go-
vernment, stated in the House of Lords, in very distinct
terms, that after the clergy had received what was due
under the plan proposed, there was to be a portion of the
church revenues set apart for the augmentation of small
livings,_ and for the building of churches and glebe-houses.
Lord Grey said this was a matter of so much importance,
that in his opinion no distribution, no appropriation of
church revenues, should take place until small livings
had been augmented; and in the speech by which he in-
troduced the church temporalities' bill he estimated
church-cess at £60,000, the augmentation of small livings
at £46,000, the building of churches at £20,000, and of
glebe-houses at £lO,OOO, making in all £136,000 a-year
to be appropriated to those important purposes after the
clergy had been paid. It was natural, then, to ask whe-
ther the noble lord (John Russell) meant to adhere to
that view of the matter, or whether lie intended to begin
to reckon his surplus before making provision for the
augmentation of those small livings, and the erection of
churches and glebe-houses, or what was the precise course
he meant to pursue on the subject?"
And what wasitord John Russell's reply? Why, that
he'would have nothing to do with Lord Grey's plan; that
if he found in any
given parish so small a number of pro-
testants that, -in his opinion, either parson or church was
too great a luxury for so few souls, he wculd take away
the ecclesiastical property of the parish, and devote it,to
purposes of education,—no matter how many other pa-
. rishes there might be thronged with protestants and in
Want of fonds to provide for their spiritual nurture. • The
essence of Lord John Russell's scheme therefore is, that
souls are not worth saving.except in batches of a given
number : and that no protestant should 'be taught the
way to heaven unless lie lives in a district sufficiently po-.
pular to atlbrd what the' late paymaster of the forces con-
siders a christian company. And this is what Lord John
Russell calls reforming the church ! It is, however, nei-
ther more nor less than 'taking the surest means 'of. de-
stroying it, and extirpating protestants and the protest-
ant religion from the Irish soil.' The time .is at hand

The Quarterly Review extracts the following account of the
slave-trade in Rid Janeiro from Dr. Meyen's Voyage Round the
Cold, published at Berlin :
In Rio itself the slave-trade presents one of the most striking
and startling sights to the traveller :
" The bazaar of the slave-dealers was the first place we visited
in company, in order to witness with our own eyes this traffic so
disgraceful to humanity. We, found many hundreds of these
unfortunate creatures fu their shop! ; they were quite naked
down to the middle, which was girt with a small piece of cloth;
the hair of the head was for the most part shaved off ; and as
they sat in rows upon small benches, or cowered down upon the
earth, their whole aspect and bearing could not fail to make ane
shudder. Those who were thus exposed were for the most part
children; almost all were marked with a hot iron, and gene-
rally on the noblest parts. ?say, maidens were there who had
been seared With the cruel brand upon their breast! In conse-
quence of the dirt in which they are obliged to live on board the
slave-ships, but more particularly in consequence of the bad
nourishment, consisting of salt meat, bacon, and bean-flour, the
poor creatures acquire a most lamentable appearance. Their
skin is marked by scorbutic disease, which first appearing in the
shape of a small breaking out, spreads more and more, and forMs
small ulcers, which soon eat into the surrciunding flesh. Through
hunger and misery the dark colour of their skin has lost its fill:.
ness and gloss ; the white spot-like eruptions,.the Ulcers, the
Shaven head, with the dull gaping look, really convert them into
beings whom, after the first impression, we would not willingly
suppose to have been born of the same race with ourselves.
. When sold, the negroes are examined just as we examine ani-
mals. To prevent them from having a la.ey _downcast look, it is
customary to give them stimulating things to eat, as capsicum,
ginger, even tobacco; or they are compelled to be lively on the
instant by boxes on the ears, kicks in the ribs, and ill-treatment
of every kind. The owner of one of these slave-shops advances
to meet a stranger with extraordinary friendliness, offers him
his, hand, and assures him of, the goodness of his wares. He
forthwith compels some of the unfortunates to stand up, and,
stick in hand, makes them show off their agility. But if these
disgusting inan:merchants know that you are only visiting their
dens from curiosity, they become coarsely insolent ; they then
begin to rail against foreigners, particularly Englishmen, who;
they say, meddle with their affairs, and rob them of their right.
fill deserts to enrich themselves.
" Long before day break, and during the whole day, thousands
and thousands of slaves may be seen wandering about seeking
for work; the market-places, as well as the port, are filled with
them, and one can hardly move a step without being addressed
by them. These slaves are obliged to provide their own suste-
nance, and bring their master a certain sum of money per day ;
if they do not, they are flogged; but if they earn more, they
may keep it for themselves, and pay it on some other day when
they have not been able to getenough. At the time of our stay,
we ourselves saw slaves bring their masters a Prussian dollar a
day. Many masters send their slaves to daily work in the
neighbouring quar,ries; others, and not a few, send them forth
in quest of insects, and this is the reason why the finest insects
are so cheap at Rio de Janeiro, A man who has acquired a
certain degree of skill may catch from five to six hundred beetles
in the course of a day close to the town. The trade in insects
is properly regarded as very profitable, as while we were there
they fetched six inilreis (about 13s. English) the hundred. The
liner sort of beetles are now a general object of search; indeed,
ladies in Europe are beginning to ornament their dresses with
them to a degree which threatens the entire extirpation of the
race. '['he so-called diamond-beetle was much in request for
breast-pins for gentlemen, and fetched as much as six piastres
(about 303.)
" The thirst for gain has struck out other ways to arrive more
rapidly at the end. Hiimanity will scarcely believe.tne when I
say that negresses are sometimes kept, like brood-mares, for
breeding. '-Young negresses are bought for the express purpose
of bearing children; a negress when pregnant is worth fifty
piastres (£10) more than before. The children are torn from
the bosom of the mother, and sold for between thirty and forty
piastres (£6 and £B.) The master of the slaves does precisely
as he likes; he makes and dissolves these occasional marriages
at will ; he tears children from their parents, and sells husband
and wife so that they possibly may never meet again. Even
the milk of the negresses is used as an article of mercha.ndize,
and sold for the milk of cows; for this reason milk is never seen
at the houses of strangers in Rio, unless they themselves possess
cows."

DEATH FROM THE BITE OF A CAT.—About ten days ago,'
aPerson of the name of Stewart, formerly in the revenue ser-'
vice, in a thoughtless frolic, swung a cat by the tail; the animal
turned upon his hand and tore it. The arm soon after swelled
considerably, and the unfortunate man afterwards showed
symtorns of hydrophobia. He was taken to the hospital, where
every -attegtion•was paid to his afflicting case; but nothing could
save his life, and he died on *Saturday morning.Beifast
Chronicle.

There is in the very taste and feeling of moral qualities, a
pleasure or a .pain ' • and the argument is greatly strengthened
by the adaptation to that constitution of external nature, more
especially as exemplified in the reciprocal influences which take
place between mind and mind in society. The first, the
ginal pleasure, is that which is felt by the virtuous man himself;
as, for example, by the•beneyolent, in the very sense and feel--
ing of that kindness whereby his heart is actuated. The second
is felt by him who is the object of this kindness; for merely in
the conscious possession of another's goodwill, there is a gi eat-
and distinct enjoyment. And then the manifested kindness pf
the former awakens giatitude in the bosom of the latter •; and
this, too, is a highly-pleasUrable emotion. And lastly, grati-
tude sends back a delicious incense to the benefactor who awak-
ened it. 13y the purely mental interchange e these affections,
there is generated &prodigious amount of happiness; and that,
altogether independent of the gratifications which are yielded.
by the material gifts of liberality on the one hand, ur by the.
material services of gratitude on the other. Insomuch, that
we have only to imagine a reign of perfect virtue; and then,
in spite of-the physical ills which essentially and inevitably at-
tach to our condition, we should feel as if we had approicimated
very nearly to a state of perfect enjoyment among men ; or,
in &her words, that the bliss of Paradise would be almost fully
realized upon earth, were but the moral graces and charities of
Paradise firmly established there, and in full operation. Let
there be honest and universal good-will in every bosom, and
this be responded to from all who are the objects of it, by an
honest gratitude back again ; let kindness, in all its various ef-
fects and manifestations, pass end repass from one heart and
countenance to another, let there be a universal courteousness
in our streets, and let fidelity and affection in all the domestic
virtues take up their secure and lasting abode in every family;
.let the• succour and sympathy of a willing neighbourhood be
ever in readiness to meet and. to overpass all the want and
wretchedness to uhielr humanity is liable; let truth, and ho-
nour, and inviolable friendship between man, and man, banish
all treachery and injustice from 'the world; in the walks of
merchandise, let an unfailing integrity on the' one side, have
the homage done to it *of unbounded confidence on the other,
insomuch, that. each man, reposing with conscious safety on
the uprightness and attachment oi his fellow, and withal re-
joicing as much in the prosperity of an acquaintance, as he
should in his own, there would come to be no place for the ha-
rassments and the heart-burnings of mutual suspicion, or re-
sentment, or envy.—.Charriers: •• •
