On the 9th of November, the anniversary Of
the "Gunpowder Plot" every pulpit in England,
according to the Daily News, resoundcd with the
cry of "No Popery." "Even on Change" SAYS
the Morning Herald, 'the members of the house
were good part Of the day occupied with the
representations of Guy Fawkes, the Pope, ard
DR.. Wiseman, the titular Bishop Of Westminster
all of them being torn to pieces amid the
eyultation of the inmates. The Liverpool Mer-
curry rebukes these demonstrations, and seems
to regard them as by no means crcdtabe to the
English people. 1t says
Judging from this specimen Of the oh cen
fury, it may perhaps be safe to assert that in
about two thousand years the people Of England
will learn to practise religious federation. 1t has
taken us 1850 years to arrive at q mere acknow-
Judgement of the theory Still, whilst we are
deliberately Of the opinion that Pic Mono has as
yet done nothing which can in the slightest de-
gree prejudice our civil and religious liberty, OF
which should alarm any reasonable man, we do
think that it is wise to watch with crrumspec-
ton the doings of potentate whose deeds show
that he is, perhaps involuntariIy, an enemy Of
every kind of liberty
On the O her hand, Mr.. Philips, Catholic
gentleman, has addressed letter to the Earl Of
Shrewsbury, in which he says

our Holy Father to bestow again and again his
apostolic blessing on his children here, WHO are
ready 10 combat for his sacred rights"

Our village had a visit last week from Dr.. {
Z. Carradine, Of Natchez, who leetured on m
Iday evening on the new science Of Biology
The lecture was rather lhinly attended-a Gil
cumstance that would have discouraged mo,
professors, and prevented any lecture at al
The 'beggarIy account Of empty boxes how
ever, did not deter Dr.. Carladins, who proceed
ed to lecture, and afterwards TO perform sucl
experiments as he promised in his bill, and
li1le mo e, too.
There is a vast deal Of skepticism in tn,
"oij, and In this meridian especially, with re
gard to the truth of this new science. Tn;
great humbug, burlesque lecture of one Prof
tFHIsserandO MustashttO johannes Smith, Al
Jackson, some time since, and the prosecution
OF Prof. Fiske, at Raymond, have doubtless
had their effect in frightening people off from
a Biological lecture, Persons who have no

biological science, are ready to cry ont hum :

those who pronounce every thing a humbug
that happens to be beyond their mental caIibre|
and comprehension. The one extreme is asI
as the other.
When we see gentlemen Of respectability
engaging in the dissemination Of new science

to mankind, we are disposed to give
a patient hearing and a fair trial If they
fail entirely to accomplish any good, we Sc,
them down as imPostOrs or l%unatics; if they
succeed in any degree, we give them credit for
