      Of conrse we need not say that the Rer . Gentleman has most ably managed to effect kis objeet . Ererj friend to ** thingB as they are , " every admirer of eiistinginstitutioiiB , eyery lover of our glorious constitutions in Church and State , erery one who reveres the . exalted actions and virtues of the ancient Jewish leader's—&Q Davids , the Joshuas , and the Solomons—will admit ihi ^ justice has been done to all these subjects In succession . To satisfy even the most sceptical upon these points , we will make a few extracts . First , then , for the virtues of a few ancient and eminent characters , who were the advocates of sound " creeds , in preference to the mere proprieties of moral conduct : — " . ' .

      " I will hire cite a few Instance * of purity and virtue on the part of ereed-iiti that must , inevitably , put to shame aU the Social fools in the world . J commence with the Jews , wlxo , from . Moaea , through S&ntaeland Divid down to Solomon , were of the most , tpdica character , in the scale ol ) ntmamty , that can be imagined ! In the first place , then , " Moms was the meekest of all the men that were upon the face ot tie earth . " He was , besides a man of great and praitneorihy temerity , and went through many eourapeoiu vnifatipitinff acts of bravery , in trder to be pure before the Lord ! Erahrpta ) r Now , therefore , kill every male among the little one *; and kill every woman that hath known a man by lying with him : bat , all tke womea children that have not known man . by . lying with him , keep alive loiyow jeJcer . '—Numben xxri 1 ? .

      " Now , I qnesEon whefijer all the Social mLscreants put together could produce one such' act ef courage as this—evin with their champion , Owen , at their head ! Bus this is only one instance of bravery on the part of religionists . There is no paucity of such deeds o $ the part of the ancient Israelites . I could revert to some scores of equal weight ! But , as my limits In this place will not permit such a display , I shall content myself fcy citing only a few that happen to be of the most STBrKi > -G character for their purify and tubUmity From the evidence of Joshua , as well as that of Moses , we know that the brave Israelites came by stealth upon whole nations of the Gentile * , and pnt them to the sword—that they spared neither age nor in&ncj—that they utterly destroyed men , women , and children ' and left not a soul to breathe !'"

      Our atrthor does cot confine his illustrations to the children of Israel alone : he is most careful that a few of the distinguished " good works" of more modern days should be brought forvvard . He prooeeds : — . _ " Having clearly shown , from the few examples only which I have quoted , that the children of Israel were persons of exemplary character , 1 shall dow expatiate upon a few of the most prominent virtues that have shone forth , with redoubled splendour , in Chrislendpm . Ta numirig the mind o-rer the long list of briiliani acts OB the part -of our Christian progenitors , and afterwards looking upon the supine ar . d brs > vcles 3 . taacti . vity of the Owenites , one cannot help evincing a feeling ef deference toward * ihe farmer , * ad just contempt for the latter . Let it be remembered , that i » is not the

      tremulous coward , Robert Owen , or his colleagues in principle , that can boast of having o » nquflre < t Chili , and other parts of South America . No , . Reader , the claim of that nteriiorious deed lies in a purer quarter . It was our Christian ancestors who , about three centnries ago , so bra-rn ^ y cut to pieces tbe PenjYjans and their neighbour * , for the loTe of that metal which their pvdiy vanquishers cc-riceived to be the ' rook of « ll good ' —irho-mafifidly hunted the natives through the woods with blood-bounds , for daring to suppose " tba ^ the natural riches with which the strata of that neighbourhood abounds were all tlieir " own ! " And wve them justly right : What business had they to suppose , for a moment , that GOLD ( the production of t " .: eir native eountry ) was ever intended for such «> p > jw-coloured wneteht-S as themsexTfc * ? ' '

      " The wortLle 3 sne . ES of Socialism is here , at once , exhibited for , had the * conqnering heroes' " of Sou-. h A . nrerica been fraught with Social ideas , th 4 conquest of Cfcili * cd Peru would never have been effected . They could not possibly have gone half way through Uieir glorious ta « k—their ever-memorable pleasure of hunting human beings would have been thwartrtl- ^ their " hands and faces could not then have been riktlcguishf d from those _ of more pusillanimous texture , by tbe lustre of crimson hut giTen to them by wadiog £ hxouflhheatien gore—and the dreftdfal conssquerx " - Waia have been , that the aborigines and their posterity might have remained in quiet possession of their Active homes , to this dsy , with impwrity / AH thi * Valour was exercised to the glory to God : for , the conoueiing Saiyils , on tbe 6 tb of January [ 1533 , ] laid the foundation of the city of Lima , which they af tcrwaVda called the ' CSty of the Kings , " as a m » mento of our Savi&ur ' s receipt of presents to the Eastern kings in Btthleca on that day of the year . "

      He eomes still nearer the present day . Allndicjr to the known disposition of iho sceptical topreUnA that they can discover faults in the ¦* unco' # aid s&d rigidly righteous , " he says : — " These free-thinking wretches will , perhaps , npbraid me and my colleagues with the forgeries ' „ of Dr . Dodd , and tbe Rev . Peter Fcnn , of Bloomsburj ; " but ,, are not these Social loggerheads aware , that the unfortunate gentlemen' in question ( iike the one previously ' spoken of ) were but nurslings of ' Mother Church , ' and therefore in rach pitiable circumstances of penury as . to claim our commisseration for their misfortune ? Now , had they been more enriab ' y situated ia iife—L e , had they been persons revelling upon the voluptuous enjoy- ment of eighteen hours' work per day , and the wholesome perspiration that usually accompanies such heal £ H- ! ful exercise—there might then , indeed , be some grou ^ . for censure on the part of my opponent *; aind I myself would not go out of my way to pallistd . the crime !

      * ' My tale would be endless werel to name all the , persons who have perfasied the atmosphere of Christendom with the sweet effluvia of their ' . virtues . The most striking example of the kind that " now occurs to me is , the eminent Bishop of Cloghsr—a r < y * f ""' p ' who , for purity and delicacy , was never ^ eqtrs . 1 red . ' * An < 1 ^ if ne-Tspaper reports may be relied on , another reverend gentleman was lately within a bow-shot " of attaining the ame degree of celebrity . " - - - ; ' And he makes the following jast remarks Pj > & tiie unparalleled effrontery of Uv ? en and his " disciples : —

      " Mr . Owen and his admirers have more than once had the r )*""^ impudence to make remarks upon the incomes of the bishops and other dlgrfitariet of tbe Church ; as though they ignorantly supposed that the corpulence necessary for a prelate—a servant &f God — could be supported -without turtle . ' And they ' have endfc&voured to shew that the yearly incomes of some- of the rich are too enormous , and conseqnently saeh as to add to the miseries of the poor— especially as the partakers of wealth ' are useless men , and do w > ifi £% p tat what they receive ! ' Xu w I will prove this 0 w « Q to he a liax : —What man of sense , for example , would- question the utility of such an ecclesiastic as . the Archbishop of Canterbury ? And , having admitted the utility # f the . man , who in the world could think of . offering him <

      less than such a thingsj £ 4 . 0 , goo & year and 176 livings ? Then there is the Biihop of Durham—a V < jry ueefali * ad necessary officer , this : and 1 do not snppoae ' that the poor gentleman recdves above £ 60 , 000 a year ( wliieh is very little more than a £ l , 0 C « pa week ) for all hi * trouble ; and little enough too , God knowsL Besides these , there are upwards of a score more bishops , whom 1 have not named—to say nothing of deacons , Arch . ' ' : escons ,. rectors , and other clerical officers fa great abundance ; aid their dignity mas * be . supported—and that , too , in a manner befitting their several stations , according as they rUe in oflUe superior ta . each other . Te » , I suppose that if a parcel of Social democrats , or

      even half-Social dissenters , had thsir own way , they would cat down the income of the head . primate to less than £ 8 , 000 per year ; and how wonld ' abishop ' be able to live at this rate ? Why , good G * lj ft would . t » scarcely sixteen guineas per day ! and what would thi ^ be to support a' * p ml-ual p&fctor V Sucba mean aaliry woald evidently tUiroe him by inches I Can -Una imagine , toi a moment , that beeausrtee" Cliurch'tas recommended , for the subsistence of the poor , a crust of breid and a cup of cold water , " with plenty of ' grace , " ( by way of dessert , J that her own- * xtet * nee ean be unstained by tbe same paltry mean * ? XtAbing tat the most consummate ignorance can be accepted as a plea for such a monstrous idea . " ;

The large Presbyterian party , apprehensive now of the Independents , were most anxious to do so ; anxious , indeed ^ as for their own existence ; but it could not be .

      Hampton Court negotiations , shows himself as a juaii fatally incapable of bemg dealt with : » man who , once for all , could not ami would not understand ; whoso thought did-jQOt in any . measure represent to him the real fact of the matter ; nay , worse , whose word did not at all represent his thought . We may say this of him without cruelty , ^ with deep pity rather ; but it is . true and undeniable . Forsaken there of all but the namco ! ' kiogship , he still , finding hiniself treated wilt , auvward . respect as a king , fancied that he might play , off party against party , and amnjjt ^ le himself ' . into his old power by deceiving both .

He says that " the land netjes-Bkrily . thrown out of cultivation would bo . devoted to the production ojC yegot ^ bl ^ s and animal food- ; " and in theoij rtfxy , a , tfo ) ea Mf . Stawsfeld , in Table No . 1 assumes a redaction « f £ ? 2 &Q 00 Annually , and , in ; Table .

      What has been thQ great , the almost only argument of the League ? Why , that the Com iiaws raised rents , and thereby xaiaed the 1 price of food ; and thereby threw the produce of ' . English 'labour but of the foreign * . market * And sent the cheapfood-foreign-produce at a l » wer price into oiir markets .. But' here wo have tho' anomaly of dear land , . which must produce dear 1 blasts . a $ d idyari . vegetables , and which , we are told will lea i to cheap meat : and -cheap vegetables 1 In fact , Solon Hvub s * ys , in answer tea qnestipn put by the Chairman-f-buti we give iia ll , question and ttnsw # r ; here it 1 is t—s- . -

      Now then we have Mr . Solon ' ^ M'Ga ' EQoi assuring us thai the removal . of 8 | ll restrictions would increase rents considerably , while , we have Solon .
