FOR THR STATESMAN.
_......--
TO THE REV. J. W. CUNNINGHAM.

SlR,—Paver wars of a Femmel nature, and eye,
(billy between Clergymen, are fin A
finer pleasant. I A
ss addre you therefore under the signature of Clerics*.
As you have taken upon yourself to reprove Ilf.
Whitbread for calling a meeting in a parish where
pm have no right to interfere, (and foe one deermut
to interfere with the parish of another clergyman v„„
know to he indecent anal uiscanunic:d), I shall, as a
clergyman, ask you a few questions.
___.

. .
I. Whether a Hill of Pain. am! Penalties is a way
to promote that " just juilimient" which a Christian
Minister ought to promote

2. Do you think that leaders and rukn of the
people, like Mr. Whitbread, ought hot to presort jut
judgment ? And how are they to promote it, hat by
constitutional meetings in opposition to pewit and
influenre on the side of what they think injustice?
3. Whether a divorce should be granted to a soak
being a King, under circumstances in which Basket'
man could obtain one ?

4. Whether it is consistent with your Christie'
Profession to support the degradatio.i of a wentaa,
even supposing the evidence be as good as it appears
good for nothing, when the husband must be a party
to the degradation of the wife a bile she is his wife,
and having sworn at the altar to lure, honour, and
cherish that wife w long as she is his wife?
5. Whether a State necessity dues not necessarily
imply souse necessary good to the people, and whether
a persecution which might hare been asoidad and
which is at all events productive of great mischief,
and is against the general sentiment of the people, is
the way to conciliate an irritated and groaning people,
and whether an insolent contempt of the feeling et a
people is congenial to the principles of a Christian
liorernment ?

I do net agree with the Editor of this Parr, that
clergymen arc to be escludeil from politics; but I think
they ought to endeavour to blend the mild spirit of
Christianity with the conduct of law and government;
and I, for one, will always press this adatiztare "en
rulers, whe.lier Whig or Tory, and will glory to re-
commend the covering an infirmity and the passing by
of a transgression, and especially when the party
complaining anti seeking redress is also himself com-
passed with infirmity. Your's,
CIALEICIAL
P.S. One or two more questions may asked. What
does Mr. Cunningham mean by .saying that dogma
may, before the end of a month, be proved piny ?
Will the passing of the Bill prove her guilty asd
would any common jury in England pronosece a Ttr•
diet of guilty upon the testimony now before the
Lords ? Ard Cleric's asks this question ass Magid:W.
and sometimes Chairman of a Sessions, as well m a
Clergyman.

Flanders Papers, of a late date, hare arrived, from
which the following are extracts :
