evening on a charge of uttering ana
publishing libel upon the suit of Mr..
J. Russell Young, managing editor OF
the Tribune, who thinks he has been
damaged to the snug little sum of $780,

sets forth that the grievances committed

FrOutie on Fraud.
Yours ever,
f.. PLURlBu~

The celebrated historian, Mr.. FrOude,
has been elected Rector of st. Andrews
University at Glasgow, and in the
course of his inaugural address, took
occasion to make mention OF some little
facts not over creditable to the English
shopkeeper or clergyman.
ave have had thirty years of uneX-
ampled clerical activity among us the
churches have been doubled; theologi-
cal books, magazines, and newspapers
havs been poured out by hundreds Of
thousands, while by the side of it there
has sprung up an equally astonishing
development of moral dishonesty.
From the great houses of the city of
London to the village grocer, the COM
mercial life of England has been sat
urated with fraud So deeply has it
gone that strictly honest tradesman
can hardly hold his ground against COM
petition. You can no longer trust that
any artical you buy is the thing which
| it pretends to be. We have false weight,
false measures, cheating and shoddy
everywhere.
Yet the clergy have seen all this
grow up in absolute Indifference; and
| the great question which at this moment
is actuating the Church of England is
the colorof the ecclesiastical petticOats.
Many hundred sermons have heard
in England, many dissertation on the
mysteries of the faith, on the divine
mission of the clergy, on apostolic sue
cession, and the theory of food works,
and verbal inspirations, and the ef1ica-
cy of the sacraments but never, du-
ring these thirty wonderful years,
never once that can recollect on COM
mon honesty, on those primitive com.
mandments, Thou shalt lot lie, and
thou shalt not steal.'
