ENGLISH CHRISTIANITY, "As BY LAW EsrAB-
IIsHED We are certainly kept In remembrance
of The glorious system OF Christianity, of which
her majesty, Queen Victoria, is the visible and
corporea head. One day, its loving kindnesses
are forced upon the benighted heather in Ireland,
at the point of the bayonet and the next its tender
mercies are revealed IN the squalld orphans of an
English curate. Its selfdenylng virtues shine in
the oily mugs of spoplete deans; while grace aud
the govt annually sanstfy with martyrdom the
entire bench of bishops.
The late English papers supply US with another
practical evidence OF the unwearled assiduity with
which the British Episcopal clergy minister to
the spiritual wants of their favored people. 1t
comes to US in the shape of an epistle addressed
to Of the poor-aw officials, by the rector OF the
parish IN which the footing Cholera House,
where hundred DIS OF pauper children are annually
relieved by death from the agonles Of hunger, and

Mrs. FANNY KEMBLE BUTLKR's SHAKspKRlAN
READING We understand that this accomplished
and talented lady will commence a course of
ShakspeIian readings, at the Stuyvesant Institute
IN this city, tomorrow evening. She comes before
the people OF New York endorsed by the public
opinion OF two continents, as lady OF extraordi-
nary talent, and of the first actresses of the
age. In regard to her qualifications for performing
what she proposes, it ID needless, at this late day.
70 saya word. They have been expatiated upon at
length by the critics Of Eu,ope and America; and
wherever her appearance is announced, she has
attracted large concourses of people, who, no mat
ter how great their conceptions of the talent and
ability of the lady, have never been disappointed.
The entertainments which Mrs Butler proposes
to give, are OF the same character as those with
which she has recently delighted the people of Bos
ton and other places. They consist of selections of
the most striking portions of the writings of the
immortal bard, which she delivers In an unsur-
passed style OF excellence; and to hear them read
by her Is treat of no common description. The
varied passions, feelings, emotions, and aspira-
lions OF human nature, delIneated by that great
master, are portrayed by Mrs Butler with faith
fulness that Is truly startling We have no doubt
that those readings will be attended by all the
fashion and intellect Of the city, as well as by all
whose religious principles or conscientious scruples
prevent them from attending he theatre This lat
ter class are more numerous than many may
suppose; and to them It will be rich treat
to hear the finest and choicest portions of
the writings of the great Shakespeare rected and
acted by lady possessing such eminent talent as
Mrs. Butler does. Heretofore, they have had to
content themselves with being readers and silent
admirers of the genius Of Shakespeare; but now,
the opportunity is offered to them to witness and
realize that which before they could have but an
imperfect conception of-human nature as it was
in the time Of the bard, and still Is. Large as
were the audiences which attended Mrs Buffers
readings In Boston and other places, we have no
doubt that those that will visit the Styvesant Insti
tute on the nights Of her appearance, will be much
larger.
