MR. OIVEN AND THE CHURCH Ur' SCOVLAND.
Letter Eighth.
TO THY EDITOR.

Stn,—At the conclusion of my last letter, I adverted to
the extraordinary resources which society had acquired
through the inventions, diecoveties, and improvements of
the limit half century. I stated also that the practical means
being known by which these powers might be applied to
meliorate essentially the genetal character and coudition
of mankind, human nature could not much lunger submit
to remain in its present state of suffering and degradation.
Some of the more enlightened and powerful states must
now take the 'lead in directing a chauge which is imperative-
ly called fur, by the new circumstances in which we are
placed, and of which, even if it were possible to oppose it
with effect, it would be the most unaccountable impolicy to
attempt to resist the introduction.
The free eqnstitutions of Great Britain and the U-nited
States of America, and the consequent enterprise of the
people, peculiarly fit the inhabitants of these countries to
be the first to enter upon this career of improvement. The
governments of both emanate from the people, are sup-
ported by the people, and they cannot retain sufficient power
fur the due adiniutstration of the laws, in opposition to the
will of the people.
within the last 50 years, Great Britain alone has
derived from mechanism and chemistry a new scientific
power, which now exceeds the manual labour of some
hundreds of millions of adults, and to the further extension
of which, no limits can be assigned, and if the population
of the British Isles dues not yet amount to more than 23
millions of souls, bow comes it that the great mess of these
people, whose condition ought to have been improved in
proportion to the Increased poster, this obtained, not only
have out been benefited, but in many respects have experi-
enced a retrograde movement, since its introduction ? If
the United States, as well as Great Britain, are in posses.
sion of a territory, incalculably mare than safficient, when
we consider the late extraordinary progress in all time arts
anti sciences, that conduce to the easy supply of the wants
of life, to maintain in full comfort and enjoyment,
twenty times their present population, why have not
measures been adopted to secure this comf and enjoy.
ment to the small number who are mine scattered in their
widely extended dominions? These are questions waicia the
British and American people will necessarily ask, acid to
which answers must cc necessarily be made.
On the part of the Governments, the only reply Can be,
that the existing arrangements of society, in both cuun•
tries, contravene the natural and beneficial application ofl
scientific improvements, and preclude the great majority
of the people from participating in the benefits to be de-
rived from the progress of human knowledge, an I that,
before this highly artificial and grievous state of things can
admit of a remedy, the public vast declare itself prepared
for an entire change of system.
To this alternative society most come sooner or later, all
over the world,and as no one individual is really benefited,
but most vitally injured by the continuance of the present
system, and as, on the contrary, none will be injured, bus
all will gain essentially by tlic ch togs, no goad reason AO-
pears why any time shout., he loit, in adoptiut prepatatury
measures fur its commencement in both countries.

Let the example be set by Great Britain sad Americt,
and there can be no doubt that its in:hence will soon ex-
tend over the whole of Europe. The South Auwricans are
quite ripe for the change, and it is ino/t necessary to tran-
quillize their divided and distracted country.
Many of the leading individuals bat:► in Europe and
America, to whom the new principles have been communi-
cated, are convinced of their trial, and have expresird
themselves friendly to the proposed ameliorations, and
some of the present Soverigns on the continent have trans-
mitted to me the most decided marks of their approbation
of the course which I have paroled.
My intention therefore is to recommend, as a prelimi-
nary proceeding, the establishment of a certain number of
communities in Wreat Britain, Ireland and America, the
regulations for the condiminz an I governing of which
shout.! be founded on principles •v Inch masse been explained
in my former letter-. I have already, on inviy
aubwitted to the pnhlie io detail .pelt arrangements 45,
with reference to the working. classas at [era., appears to
hen to co,upreliend a comhinaloa of eireamsbames most
favourable to a richt application of their industry, and to
a substantial and permanent improvement of their general
condition, physically. mentally, and morally. I aid hoc
-
ever far Irons seem/rug that these arrangements are no;
susceptible of ant-uoloont. On the contrary, 1 sill caste
that experience will point oat many defects, and sulgest
many beneficial attractions. Hat I believe alma! w aory.r
modifiratiene the plan tray r.quiru its de.ail•riu princi-
ple it can admit of no indowatias.

district will not fail speedily to discover how much they
suffer by not adopting similar arrangements, sail when
such institutions shall prevail generally in any one country,
the example io like manner w<il inevitably operate upon
neighbouring nations. A rapid change therefore may be
anticipated, a change altogether different in character from
ordinary changes among men and nations. These have
proceeded at a very low pace. For when an improvement
is discovered under the old system. the individual first
with whom it originates, and afterwards the nation to whom
such individuals belong, do all in their power for their ono
supposed advantage, to circumscribe the knowledge of it
within their own limited circled Under the new system
no motives can exist to this narrate-minded and vicious
policy. Every useful invention or discovery will he no-
reservedly communicate' to every part of society without
exceptioo, to India ideals and eouutries. As the sun shines
and the rain descends upo a all, so will the improverneuts,
which the human mind in any runner of the world may
achieve, he freely.distrihu'ol to toe whole family of man-
kind. And it is in this interchange of good offices, so ad-
vantageous to all, that the commerce of individuals and of
natioa.s willspriucipally consist.
Some Ilan of the public will, I have no &sob', continue
to say " The 'man who contempl rtes so vast and so rapid a
change in the state of society moAt be a visionary, or he
must be mad." lam equally certain however that as soon
as they shall attempt to explain in what the vision or mad•
Dees consist., they wrih,likeali thoFe who have already made
a similar attempt, only farther expose the weakness and
irrationality of the system under which they 'have been
educated.

I observe that the Committee of the Ha :se of Commons,
which sat the last Session of Yard invent to enqaire into the
employment of the ;:our of Ireland, have, iii their report
taken a very imperfect v:e.v of the measures which I recom-
mended for the p, rmanent relief of the population of that
country. Theyappear nut to have approached the subject as
statesmen, whose 'Mails were made np to probe to its source
the cause of the evils which a:diet that devoted country, and
boldly to recommend time only adequate reins ly. And any
other course of proceeding than this is little better than
tantalizing the feelings of nearly one third of the popula-
tion of the British ides, who are no.v existing in a state of
unparalleled degradation and misery. Ireland requires
that its population should be well employed ; that it should
be trained and educated in better habits ; that its produc-
tions should be more beneficially distributed; and it should
be made a source of strength, and not a cause of weakness,
to Great Britair. These great national objects can be
obtained only through systematic arrangements such as I
have proposed. But this auliject I shall renew at a proper
season, for it is not my intention to relinquish the cause of
Ireland, until the condition of its inhabitants shall be, as
it easily might be, es. end:illy improved. That which now
remains to be more particularly explained is the mode by
which the great change which I recommend can be cat 441
into execution without injury to in lividuals or to govern-
ments. In the first place, it calls for no premature disturb-
ance of existing institutions. It disclaims all violent means,
as being certain to defeat its objce. Whatever futuis of
government may exist in any country, it is not only not
necessary, but it W 30.1 be highly impolitic, to a tempt 1,
any inroad upon them, bzfure the minds of time great mass
of the people shall be prepared to receive and appreciate
the ameliorations which are intended to be introduced. It
is in this particular point that all projected modern reforms
have failed. The promoters of them, however good their
intentions, commenced at the wrong end. They began by
seeking to destroy the old fabric ; before they laid the
foundation of any other, or before they knew where the
foundation ought to rest. Such has been the error of at-
tempted revolutions in France, Spain, Portugal, Italy
and South America. Every vile passion has been called
into frightful activity ; millions of innocent victims have
been sacrificed, and yet how little real good has been
attained
The reform now proposed deman Is no victim of any des
scription. Every Government in the world will find it to
he its interest to adopt measares for its introduction. No
change of the individuals, :mt present administering govern-
ment, will be necessary or will be desire I by any party.
The priests and clergy of all countries and denominations,
will retain time advantages and privileges which they at
present possess. Nothing mere will be required from them
than to teach and preach those principles scotch enlightened
men of all- ages have ever considered as the essence of
every religion. They will train the rising geaeration and
instruct the adult population in those divine precepts which
when disencumbered of all disputed and doctrin ml points,
cannot fail to bring down heaven iipou earth. Tney will
therefore teac:m au I preach only love, charity, pea. e. and
good-will to the whole Imamate race; and when they do this
with sincerity and truth, as every motive will then induce
them to do, they will he surprised and gratified to find how
soon these virtues will universally prevail. It is the dis-
puted and doctrinal points of all religions which necessarily
produce all the bad passiun3 and feelings that now pervade
society. But for these, mankind, with the aid of the re-
sources which they now possess for the easy production of
whatever can conduce to the enjoyment of lite, would im-
mediately live in peace and harmony and goodwill together,
all co-operate for the benefit of each • even those Wll3 are
now the most inveterate enemies Of each other, would
speedily become sincere and affectionate friends. An I can
it be imagined that any clergyman or priest, prufesising
any faith or doctrine, whether disputed or not by others,
would swerve from his duty were he to wake it his chief
object and constant practice to teach love, charity, peace,
and good will to ad mankiud ? Is it possible, is the
nature of things, that men can possess the ability to per-
form any other real service for that great incomprehensible
power which animates and directs the universe, than to
contribute to the utmost of his faculties, to the happiness
especially of all those, his fellow beings, whom that power
has brought into existence?
This, and this alone, is true religion, pure and undefiled,
and will remain untouched, as such to the end of dine;
nor according to the belief which has been dm eply im-
pressed on my mind, is there any other of the least prac-
tical utility.
This, then, is the only faith and practice which will be
required from the members of the new communities, in ad-
dition to which, provided it shall permit them to practice
the virtues of love and charity, without exception, towards
all their fellow beings, they may profess, and follow the
ceremonies of any faith whatever. Ni fellow creature will
be blamed ur found fault with for his belief, whether he be
Jew ur Christian, Mations, Ilan or Ilin 100, a disciple of Con-
fucias or a Paptil,.l.rt hint iu his practice but uniformly
evince love, charity, peace and guJil will to all his fellow
creatures, and lie will be freely a Ingtte.l into this ne.v
church, of which it is not um, hoped but confidently
expected that all the churches iu f.se world will ultimately

BACON.—The high prices which have been given far wp
Bacon already engaged to come forward, render it necessary
that those who hare made ensagemeuts snout,' continue to b.ry :
and the scantiness of the supplies hitherto in this market Is .a

being so far off; aai the failures limo:lst the retailers, wilt
continue to go on, giving cause fur uneasiness to -
sale men, who, many of them, are not in a state to bear tri
debts, at a time when they are making no profits. Time
