nent, I would with much more pleasure,
make any sacrifice to the King, with
respect to it, than l would to those
Iusurping subjects who nominate mem
bers to this house: this house the ma
iority of which, although acting under
the character OF, and assuming and APP
pearing to be, representatives OF the
people, are, in fact, only the represen-
tativcs of two hundred individuals, who
by this means, vote away the liberties,
and property, and lives of the people !!
Thus, sir, while we are unnecessarily
guarding ourselves from foreign HOSTILE
ty, we are neglecting our defence against
domestic foes"
We have made these extracts from
the speech, not because they are more
pointed than the remainder, but merely
to show our readers in what light the
subject of reform is viewed by some of
the members of parliament. The seeds
of discomfort have taken deep root in
that favored nation, and though the
spirit of reform may be overawed by
ministerial power; yet they will CONT

Ideally reformed, or the constitution
abolished.
The motion made by sir Francis, was
that the house early next session will

the state of the representation of the
people. The house being divided,

MISCELLANY.

That justly celebrated Philosopher, John
Locke, speaking of the Holy Scriptures, espe-
cially the New Testament, says, g 1t has God
for its author, salvation for its end and truth,
without any mixture of error, for its matter"
Reasons clearest dictate is, that this precious
! Book, which teaches man the infallible way to
peace earth and to endless glory in Heaven,
| should be read and obeyed by all. But there
are unknown multitudes of our fellow creatures
who have net the means of procuring this trea-
| sure fo- themselves And to meet their case,
we behold the love of God, instituting, and in
spring the Bible Society in which christians
! Of every church under Heaven are united, and
labouring with astonishing success, to send the
Bible into all nations, that it may be read in all
languages, and obeyed by every creature. How
divinely philanthropic the work How soul
animating the prospect oft full accomplish
honor and blessedness of this mighty effort of
faith, this glorious abour Of love?
The following is the report of the trustees of
the Bible Society of Maine made at the annual
the 9th Instant
The trustees Of the Bible Society of Maine,
request leave, to state to its members that the
sum OF four hu ndred & fourteen dcls. ninety six
cents, which includes the donations ofindvduals
and Bible Associa tions auxiliary to this, and he
annual subscriptions of members, has been re
ceived by the Treasurer during the past year in
aid of the funds OF this Institution. FiUe hun
drsd and ffty Bibles, have been distributed since
the seventh day Of May last.
The whole number of Bibles and Testaments
distributed by this society since it's formation. Is
four thousand two hundred and sixty one.
In the course oil the year, several Bibles haye
been distributedto destitute Pc rsons& families in
thiStown.
Wths mingled emotions Of admra ton and
gratitude, they conte mplate the wonderful exer-
tions which are making in various parts of the
world to disseminate the knowledge of " the glor-
Gus Gospel of the Blessed God.r
The translation of the Scriptures into the Ian
guages of different nations is rapidly advancing
and the light of Divine truth, IS bursting upon
the dark and benighted parts of the earth
" The British and Foreign Bible Society. by
whose fundamentally 30 many thousands have
become possessed Of copies OF the Scriptures, does
not relax its exertions. The opposition of enc
mics and heir attempts to clog its operations and
weaken its energies, have proved utterly una
vailing: while its fountain has been rising higher
and higher, its streams have been 'consinually
multiplying. The amount Of expenditures dh-
ring tbs year prior to recent report Of its mana
gers.was about f89, 230 sterling. |.

CHATAUBkIlND ON THE ENGLISH NATION.
Continued from, The Gazeite Of Thursday.
"7he English clergy are learned, hospi-
table AM generous. They love their coun-
try and exert their powerful services in sup.
port of The laws. In spite ofreIiglous diff
ferences, they received the French emf
<, ant clergy with true christian charity
The university OF Oxford printed, at its
own expense, and distributed gratis to our
poor priests, new Latin Testament, ac-
cording to the Roman version, with these
words: 'Jor The use Of The Catholic clergy,
eriled on account Of ttsir religion" No
thing could lie more delicate or aft, citing.
1t was doubtless beautiful spectacle for
philosophy to witness, at the close OF the
eighteenth century, the hospitality Of the
English clergy towards the Catholic priest;
nay further, to see them allow The public
exercise OF this religion, and even establish
some communities. Strange vIcis,itude OF
human opinions and affairs! The cry of
The Pope, the Pope caused the revolution
during the reign OF Charles the Island
James the Cd lost his crown for protecting
the Catholic religion.
They who take fright at the very name
Of this faith, know but very little OF the hu-
man mind. They consider it such as it
was in the days Of fanaticism and barbara
ty; without rejecting that ike every other
institution, it assumes the character OF the
ages through which il passes.
The English clergy ere, however, not
without faults. They are too negllge Mt
with regard 10 their duties, and too fond OF
pleasure they give too many balls, and
mix too much in the gaieties. Nothing is
more revolving TO stranger, than to see
yousg minister Of religion leading pretty
woman down an English country dance

Apriest should be entirely divine; an,
virtue should reign around him. He should
retire into the mysterious recesses Of H.
temple, appearing but seldom among ms,.
kind, and this for the purpose only of re-.
lieving the unhappy. |, is BY such Coz.
duct that the French clergy obtain cur re.
spect and confidence whereas they would
soon lose both, # we found them seated by
our sides on festive occasions, and familiar.
izing themselves with US: if they had al
tine vices OF the times, and were for mo.
nent suspected OF being fragile MORALS like
ourselves.
The English display great pomp in thei.
religious festivals-they are even begin.
ming to introduce paintings into their chur.
ches; having at length discovered that re.
ligion without worship is only the dream OF
a cold enthusiast, and that the imagination
of man is faculty which must be nourish.
ed as well as his reason.
The emigration OF the French clergy has
in great degree tended 70 propagate these
ideas; and it may be remarked that. bya
natural return towards the institutions Of
their forelathers, the English have for some
time laid the scene OF their dramas and O.
tnerliterary works in the ages during which
the Catholic religion prevailed among
them. OfIate, this faith has been carried
to London by the exiled priests OF France;
and appears 10 the English, precisely as in
their romances, through the medium Of no.
bic ruins, and powerful recolections. All
the world crowded with anxiety to hear
the funeral Grafton over French lady, de-
livered by an emigrant bishop, in stable
IN London.
The English church has reserved for the
dead, the principal part Of those honours
which the Roman religion awards to them.
In all the great towns, there are persons
called undertakers, who manage the lune-
rails. Sometimes you read on the signs,
"'C96fn-maker 10 Me king" or funerals
performed here, as if it was theatrical
representation. II is indeed true that re.
representatives. of grief have long constituted
all the marks OF it, which are to be found
among mankind and when nobody is dis.
posed TO weep over the remains OF the de.
ceased, tears are bought for the occasion.
The last duties, however paid to the de.
parted, would be OF sad complexion in.
deed, if stripped OF the marks Of religion;
for religion has taken root at the tomb, land
the tomb cannot evade her. 1t is right that
the voice of hope should speak from the
coffin it is right that The priest of the IL
wing God should escort the ashes OF the
dead TO their last asylum. 1t may be said
on such an occasion, tina, immortality is
marching al the head OF death.

The Convention of the Protest nt Epis.
copaI Church in Virginia, closed It's annual
session at Petersburg On Saturday the 18th
inst. The meeting was well attended by
the clergy, and large number Of respec-
table and pious lay delegates. The great
est cordially and unanimity prevailed
Throughout; all the proceedings of the Con-
vention, exhibiting the pleasing spectacle
OF many members OF large family dwell
ing together as brethren, having one mind
and speaking the same things. The reports
from the different parishes were of very
favorable nature, and manifest, that there
is rapidly growing attachment, through
out the state, to the principles Of true and
vital religion.
1t is due to the inhabitants OF Petersburg,
to state, that nothing was wanting that The
hospitable attentions OF polite and en-
ligbtcned society could bestow, to render
the visit of the various members of the con.
vention agreeable and interesting. The
OVERLOOKING congregations which attended
divine service three day during the sit
ting OF the convention, are favorable indi-
cations OF the zeal and interest which they
feel also in the important concerns Of reli-
gion.
Am1ngIseveral important matters trans
acted by the convention, ga missionary
society" has been organized, for the pur-
pose of supplying the various vacant pa
rishes in Virginia. with ministerial seryi-
ces. For the satisfaction Of those who
may be disposed TO promote this laudable
object, i; is thought proper here to subjoin
the names Of The managers, who will thank.
