SPECIMENS OF DISSENTING MODESTY.

Extracted from Advertisements in the " Evangelical Magazine"

jfirr August, 1835.
"To destitue Churches of the Independent denomination
within thirty miles of London.—A Minister of Christ, called
by God to the Work, whose labours have already been blest in
the conversion and edification of souls, is desirous to be found
amongst a united and praying people who love. a faithful and
spiritual dispensation of the truth, and where a field of useful-
ness [mind the phrase presents itself. Salary, to obtain food
and ra►ment, is all that is required."—(4l)
"To Destitute Churches.—A pastor of 'On Independent Church
is desirous of removing to a large sphere of usefulness.—[Mark
the phrase!]—He is an acceptable preacher, 'decidedly evan-
gelical, trury pious, zealous. and devout; and has fur several
years been a successful minister of 'Christ."—(l2.)
" A Minister of Calvinistic principles would be happy to sup-
ply any congregation iu the country. Salary will not be any
objection, ►f there !s a prospect of usefulness—[again F]"—(2B.)

_ .
So much for the modesty of the Mawuorms. Now come we to
evidences of the exelusicism which we have denounced. Here
be woofs :
" Wanted a steady youth as an apprentice to a tailor in a
Dissenting family."—(::s.)
"To Silkmercers.—Wanted immediately, in a Dissenting Es-
tablishment, a pious young man of respectable connections, who
is gentlemanly in bis address and manners, a thorough trades-,
man and efficient salesman."—(B2.)

•' To Drapers, &c.—Wanted, an active young man as assist-
ant—a Dissenter would be Preferred."—(Bs.)—This advertise-
ment passim.

" Wanted, a youth of Dissenting principles and good educa-
tion as an apprentice to a chemist and druggist?'—(ll2).
Here we have a pretty array of arrogance, hypocrisy, and
uncharitableness, blended together under the guise of humility
and godliness—the leading feature in each advertisement of
piety being (be it remembered) opposition to the Church. "When
bad men combine (to use the well-known sentence of Burke's),
good men should unite." The Dissenters have
.grown to the
power they possess by union—let Churchmen be wise in time—
" fas est ab hoste doceri." They must slumber no longer.
When the objects of their opponents is mere ungodly, Worldly
gain, they must be met and foiled with their own weapons.

SHIPWRECK AND Loss of LIFS.-It is our painful duty to
record that the Brothers, of Galway. commanded by Mr. John
M'Donogh, laden with marble, from Galway for Belfast, was
overtaken with a tremendous gale of wind from the south west
on the 20th current, when about thirty milt:: to the north of
Enistrahull Lighthouse, and at three o'clock p.m. she was struck
by a heavy sea, which carried off everything on deck, and com-
pletely disabled her. One of the crew was swept off the deck,
and immediately disappeared. In the course of ten minutes
after she was struck by the sea she sunk. The captain and
those surviving of the crew betook themselves to toe boat, bring_
ing nothing out of the vessel. To increase their misery the boat
was so much damaged that two could hardly keep her free.
They remained in this perilous situation, at the mercy and fury
of the Atlantic, for nearly two days and two nights, having no-
thing to subsist on except a few biscuits soaked with silt water,
and blowing the whole time a very heavy gale of wind from the
south west. About two o'clock on Thursday morning they were
driven on the shores of Searbro', where, to the credit of Mr.
M'Kellar, the tacksrnan, and other inhabitants of the island,
they were kindly received, and their distresses timeously and
humanely relieved. They were so reduced by their sufferings,
when cast ashore, as to be almost unable to walk. They are now,
taken on beard this steamer, to he conveyed to the Clyde by
Captain M'Pherson, who has done every thing in his power for
their comfort which their weak and destitute state so much de-
manded. When the state of the weather and the dangerous sea,
through which they passed in such a miserable boat are consi-
dered, it will be admitted that it is seldom so miraculous an
escape falls to be recorded, which can only he attributed to the
kind interposition of the Almighty God, who lots out the desti-
nies of his creatures, and in his wisdom relieves them in their
distresses.

IMPROVEMENT OF 'RFT. AND.—A company is to be formed
"for promoting the inland cominnnication, the cultivation of
waste lands, and the improvement oetbe harbours in Ireland."

ÜBIQUITY.—In the Kelso Mail, the following surprising in-
stance cf this power is stated, which has given rise to the utmost
consternation among the learned faculty:—" Circuit Court,
Jedilurgh.—Arthur Bradley and William -Campbell were placed
at the bar, charged with assault, and were out/utred fur non•ep-
pearance !"
