      ggj ^ in this argument , plausible at first sight , but j-jecordsnt with the free spirit of Christianity when j ^ BesrJy examined .

      ^ } e _ appropriated to a certain use ; and by thi 3 ir ^ cpaaiion oiher parties necessarily acquire sglss—^ r ights of conscience , more sacred eTen than -beaut property ; they acquire the right to have -seirordof life dispensed to them by a priest in ECBii / y hsTB confidence ; they hare a natural ss&ioibnn their own opinion upon fins subject , of iBshnoman can honestly deprire them , and for iEchso equivalent can he offered ; the donor when Jsjave the property knew all this , and he gave it sljeei Jo these conditions ; he ftn « no right

      ihere-; jsB to -riolate these conditions ; nor has he any zg& to clog his benefaction with another condition jfieb mnst or may violate them : if he do so , he is pttiserj in tie condition of Ananias andSapphira _ o fcept hack pari of the price of the land which £ srj > reiended to ha . ve given to the Chnrch ; whilst st _ 3 in their own hands they had a right of contsUoTerit—bnt when it waa given from , them a& a j £ to the Gmrch , they had no longer any such Eght , and were subjected to ihe severest cenBure eH pnsishment for daring to usurp is .

      x _ Is seems to ts to he precisely the argument tf patronage , grnng the most favourable Tiew to fecase of its supporters ; and it results in the coniaoathat patronage is , under all circumstances s&wful to Christians ; that it is incompatible * 2 h file free spirit of Christianity , and cannot be Erased without trenching on the people ' s rights Se seems also to hare been the -new taken of the siSerhy the early Scotch Beformera ; all of whom eaonnced patronage in stn > ug and serere terms . 3 kJ 2 otHithstaading tins deDCDciatioa ii has still CEted in the Scottish CSmrchfrom

      itsfireteslablish-Eii . ThecrrillawTegardedandireated patronage as pspeiiy , and eTen fixed the eompensafion money to kpsid to the patron upon the setting aside of his i | ht . The right of patronage wa 3 exercised in this mnuer . The patron , when a benefice became ¦ Qca nt , selected a candidate for the office and prettied him to the Presbytery within whose jnrisdie aa tie 5 « nefiee might be atoate , praying them to s&n and induct him . The Presbytery first sceriained the qnalificationB of the candidate , and

      i , ifter trial by the parishioners , store than one-, Hlf of she TP « lp heads of families , being communiasti in the parish , did sot agree to reject him , ; oSng their reasons for so doing , he was inducted Mo the li-ring . In the eTent of rejection by the itnsb , the candidate could appeal against the nS&y of the reasons for his rejection , first to the Spod , and finally to the General Assembly , by tannin the event of the objections being declared iak , he could hare the benefice restored to him .

      Sash wss the law ; but the democaiie spirit of the S » kJiiieTer-well submitted to it . It was seldom JeSed 01 nnffl of late jearB when the spirit of resiBtmee agitated and has finally dismemberedtiie whole &ardL In 183 i , an Act of the General Assembly llkh commanded all Praabyterie 3 s in cases of ~ pre-*^» & > n by patrons , that , if a majority of the male iads-ofiamiliea , being communicants in a parish , % 6 ea to any candidate as their pastor , he should fe Hamsarily rejected \> j the Presbytery without B 6 eomnnmicanB being required to giTeany reason fe objecfing to him . This is the famous Teto act .

      Xwf dds seems to be a purely democratic rale of 'sitm ; and it is in -upholding this rale againEt the ^^ MKity of the citO law that the late Moderator of feChnrch of Scotland and the other 400 ministers * s 3 di gnitaries hare thrown np their livings and *»^ ed from the Oiurch . ^ fids was in reality what it seems to be at fest aght , a free grring to flie people of % choice of their own ministers—we should be J 3 ^ aed to bestow as mech praise on the sublime ^^ spectacle * as any of the dissenting organs of *® &y . But a little closer examination strips the *^ aiid shew 3 the real face . The matter contended ** i j ^ iese 406 Scotch prieBts is not that of the

      — ¦ The Veto Actfiiaits the rights to the communicants ; and the Minister aad two Elders , constituting the Court of Session , in any parish , may restrict the privilege of communicating ( for in Scotland permission to communicate 13 * privilege , not a right , as in the Church of England ) to as few persons as they please . There are populous -parishes m Scotland , where the Clergy have restricted the participataon in the Holy Communion to no more than seven heads of families I ThnB the real

      operation of the Teto Act is to place the whole power of the Church of Scotland in the hands of the priests . Ii is an engine by means of which they are placing the ecclesiastical above the civil power-rthe priest above , and irresponsible to , either magistrate or people . This the very high priest of the Non-intrasionists , Dr . Chalmebs , openly avows . He warns the Voluntaries that be will have nothing to do irjth them , and that they are to hope for bo portion in his work .

      Thus it is that after all it turns out , on examination , that the mighty cry of these Scotch priests about "the sacred rights of the Church of Christ " means , just as usual , the power of the priesthood and no more . ~ Bi . Chalmers announced that the gross receipts in aid of the Free Church were £ 223 , 023 63 . lid . Now this mnst have been voluntary" money , we muehmarvel that the Doctoh ' s high sense of principle , and his determination to have nothing to do with voluntaries did not induce him to reject it . But trust the priests to permit the voluntaries to give what they please ; so that they give only and take nothing .

      i THE LONDON CHARTIST MONTHLY ; MAGAZINE . We have been favoured with a proof number of this new work , which is , we believe , published in London this day , ( Thursday ) . Heartily do we bid welcome to so valuable a companion in arms" to aid in " the holy war " . The Editor , Mr . John Watkins , is well and deservedly known to the whole Chartiet public . His official connection with it is sufficient warrantry that its columns will be filled with ^ " the right sort of stuff , " and we truly hope I that the Chartist public will extensively " take ! itin / 7 j We give the following from the introductory ad-| dress by the Editor : —

      1 va ^ ^ vw ^ p ^^ . ^ J ^^^ ^^ ^^^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ I a TO OUB HEADEBS AXD SUBSCRIBERS . 1 Pro aria et jToris . ' " The 1 st of June!—the glorious 1 st of June !—this day is memorable for the great naval victory I gained on it over the French by Lord Howe . But ! we hope to render it more memorable ^ -more j glorious to us Chartists as the day on which the ' first number of our first Magazine came

      i forth . Lord Howe ' s victory was gained at the expence of truth and justice—it was an at-J tempt to quell the rising spirit of liberty . Our little privateer will cruise in behalf of a better caa 3 e—we j shall seek to free enslaved indnstry , and to succonr i oppressed virtue^—we are the friends , not the foes , j of man . We have a roving commission , like Paul j Jones ; and wherever we can make a successful descent on the shore of ignorance , wherever we can carry off prgndice , we shall not fail to do so . Our standard is Ahe Charter , and on it is inscribed " social happiness . "

      u Our prospectus has stated that this work is undertaken by a committee of Chartists who have launched their vessel—christened it—manned itand now it pnt to sea with its freight of democratic trnths—not yet chartered but soon to be so—sailing , not on its own account , but on account of the cause , and with the favourable breese of public opinion . We sW * n keep due on in a course of progress , like the Centenary ship laden with missionary intelligence , which weshall dispense at every favourable opportunity , and wherever we thiBk it msy do good . Ours is a magazine not for powder and : bnllej , bnt for such weapons as St . Panl speaks of : The armour of righteousness , the breastplate of trnth , the sword of the Spirit . ** This work is * got out * in shares , but withont the most distant idea to pecuniary profit . Every

      shareholder has voluntarily and gratuitously rendered his support , and looks neither for interest nor principal back—looks for no return whatever—but is ready when called on to make a further advance on the same liberal and disinterested principles . The work is devoted not to individual or party interest , but to the advocacy of those rights on which the welfare of working men depend . We care not for self in so good a cause ; bnt we trust that our subscribers will be so numerous as to prevent the necessity of further sacrifice . They will Bee to it that those who have zeal to Btrve them , shall not suffar for it , nor serve them in vain . Confidently we call on the public generally to give ability to our inclinaiion ^ We acknowledge no sovereign bnt the people 3 whose patronage we cheerfully anticipate will not be withheld so long as we prove onrselves loyal and

      active . " Had this work been brought out by an individual , or as a private speculation , it would have _ re quired the expenditure of a large amount of capital in advertisements and puffs to give it notoriety ; but we have no sneh resource , and no such relianoe . We" trpst not in exciting cnriority , nor in the efficacy of promises too wonderful to be performed . We discard the puff system altogether . We wish to take no one in , but we wish all to take as in—to buy our hook ; and we tniEt to its intrinsic contents alone—to a sincere desire to promote the principles which we advocate , and to an earnest wish to benefit the interests of onr fellow labourers . 5 wIt will be our aim , as much as possible , to diversify the matter of these pages : our contributors will endeavourthereforeio make their articles

      , , suit . We shall each month present to our readers . an olio of good digestible fare , suitable to all palates , —a kind of kaleidioscope , which phases as followB . - ; —Chartist History , Chartist Theology , Chartist ; Philosophy , Chartist Politics , Democratic Taxes , Poetry ^ Beviews , &c We shall make such seleo- ; i tionB from the matter before na as we may thmkil most conducive to the interests of the Magazine , ands the cause to which it will be rendered subservient—c actuated neither by fear nor favour . We shall our- . ^ selves , at all times , write what we think—independently—for we should deem oxoseWea unworthy of the j people ' s confidence if we conlS flatter either them or : their tyrants . All that we ask in return , is calm ,: dispassionate judgment . Let Reason be ttounH prre : now Providence speed us for the people . ' _ ,

      There are , besides thi « , a variety of oiher articles ; —most we suspect—as nsual in the first number ofevery periodical , from the pen of the Editor . WeL recommend strongly to all onr Chartist friends , of literary character , to *• take up" the Magazine—to support it not merely by bnying and pushing it , but , by writing for it . Many of those able and well-. ; written essays npon various subjects , to which wej are compelled , by the pressure of neves , to refuse ( insertion , would here find a proper Tehide . We shall probably trouble friend Watkins occasienally : with a stray lucubration of our own , as iime and

      opportunity may serve . The present number coming npon us in the hurry of business , we have not had * iae to read any article but the one from which we grre extracts absve . The titles of the rest Bpeak ; well for them ; they are as follow : —* Progress of Liberty in England from the earliest period down to the present time ;" -A ° Letter to Archbishop Canter , by a Christian Chartist •"— *¦ Knowledge , " a poet ical scrap - —The commencement of a tale called « The Poor Law Martyrs ;" - " Chartism and Socialism ;"— " Poems by a Sufferer under the present System , No . 1 ? - Autobiography of a Chartist ;"— " Repeal of the Union f—A ** Caar ti = t Hymn f— Life of a Londen Dodger f ' -f « Reasons and Rules for Exclusive Dealing ;"some Reviews , and a Brief Summary of the News of the Month .

      The glorious uncertainty of the law has prevented me from giving definite answera to many correspondents , and especially to those who have written on behalf of London localities , inviting me to attend projected demonstrations . Tao fact is that I have not been able to call myself more than a prisoner at large since September last , and when I thought that the hour of liberation had arrived , I find that I am *> ncB more to appear before the Justices of the Queen's Bench , on Saturday . I cannot possibly , then , make any engagements until this longipending question is disposed of ; and 1 trass that those who have written and have have not received

      answers , will believe that they were not neglected intentionally . I have been busily engaged in writing ageneral defence of Chartism , which wiil be found in the eighth and last number of the Lancaster Trials ; and while speaking of those trials , it is a curious fact that some agents complain that there were too many numbers , and that they were loo long ; just as if I could have helped it . Long as they were , if cut short by one single witness' entire evidence , they would have been incomplete ; and if wanting one defendant ' s speech , O Lord , what a row we should have bad . Long as they-are they will live beyond the present day , and will yet , and that e ' er long , form a part of the history of this country , and not an unimportant portion either .

      I am really in such a whirlpool of thoaght and anxiety about the Irish , movement , racking my bTain to discover how we can best serve it , without running any the slighest chance of injuring either that or our own Charter , that I can think of but little else at present .

We shall be glad to Fee the forthcoming one an exception to the general rule .

      Pike . —A fire broke out yesterday forenoon on the premises of Mr . T . Galleway , painter , &c , Boar Lane , Leeds , which at first threatened serious destruction . The servant girl , it appears , was sweeping in a back kitchen , and by some means broke a bottle containing turpentine ; the liquid ran overthe floor , and by way of getting rid of it ; she swept it towards the fire place , where some cinders had just fallen frem the grate . As a matter of course xhe inflammable liquid was instantly in a blaze , and the girl , with Mrs . Galleway and her -daughter , who were in the kitchen , -were also enveloped in the flame . The servant was so frightfully burnt as to render her removal to the Infirmary necessary , and we are sorry to say there are no hopes of her recovery . Mrs . Galloway and her daughterare doing well , though both are much injured . An alarm was soon spread , and the town ' s engine from the police-office was speedily on the spot , and , aided hy a plentiful snpply of water from the plugs , the fire-men were enabled :, to get the fire under before much mischief had been done . ArHmour was circulated , soon after the fire had broken out that a little boy was in the upper garret , and fears for his safety were entertained , on account of the density of the smoke , but we are happy to say the rumour was without foundation .

      An Unprofitable Ctjstomer . —At the Court Houi > 8 , on Monday last , a-man of the nanie of George Bottomley , was brought up before the sitting magistrates under the following circumstances . On Saturday evening he went to the Queen ' s Head Inn , at Mill Hill , kept by ; Mr . Armitage , and having engaged a bed , ordered coffee and ham , which was supplied to him , and after that a glass of brandy and water . The next morning he partook of breakfast , bat when called upon to pay his bill , he stated that he could not do so till he received some money due to him in the town , and as he refused to give his name , Mr . Armitage called a policeman and gave him . iato custody . Besides Mr . Armitage , other persons , whom he had duped in asimilar manner , were in attendance io complain agaiDst him . Mr . Parker of the Clarendon Hotel , Water-lane , stated that on Friday evening last , the day

      before he visited Mr . Armitage , the prisoner called , engaged a bed , partook of fried bacon and eggs to supper , and a glass of brandy and water after it . The next morning he had breakfast , after which he Baid hie had no money , but expected to receive some 54 the town ; that his name was Bottomley and he came from Halifax . On this representation , and appearing to be acquainted with parties at Halifax , he was allowed to leave the house to seek , as he pretended , someTmoney- In the course of the day he returned , wrote a note which he addressed to Mrs . Blackburn , wife of Mr . T . Blackburn , woollen-draper , Briggate , which note was sent by a messenger , who did not bring back any snsvsr * Soon afterwards the prJFon pr went out and did noi return any more . Prior to tis stay at the Clarendon , he had liv « d a week at Parker ' s Temperance Hotel , having gono there on the 17 til May ;

      According a $ * 6 be mails made their ^ appearance they wgro greetecKsiith . the usual yells of execration , in consequence of whitjifseveral of ihe horses became restive , while those drawing the Belfast mail , in 'heir ajarm , made a violent plunge aflKe corner of Henrystreet , knocking down two men fin tho crowd , and dragging the coach over their bodie ' s . Both men received severe injuries ; one of ibem expired this morning ; but it was after all the mails had left that the mob seemed determined on an cmute : and the police , it was evident ' , were the objeots of the popular " excitement , " j partly , it cannot be denied , from the over zeai ^ of the peace-preservers in restraining attempts at rioting-by the rather frequent application of the baton to 1 he heads and shoulders of the anti-Croalites . I Retaliation , however , quickly followed ; and stones of considerable magnitude wcro hurled indiscriminately at the police , one of whom , belonging ] to the mounted

Charles O'Connell addressed the meeting at some length , and with considerable effect . He said the government had dismissed tho Liberator from the commission of the peace , whioh was only an incujiibrance to him ; they deprived themselves of tfee aid of an intelligent ) and pacifying magistrate , and to vex their faces they cut off their noses —( laughter )

      assure those wise statesmen , that for every magistrate they dismiss for declaring their opinions upon an odious ac * t of Parliament in a free country , they add 30 , 000 determined repealers to our ranks , " The Rev . Danieb Lynch appeared amidst loud cheers , and said , although ho spoke of the baneful effects of the union in the Old Chapel on last week , still he could not resist the temptation that now presented itself . In the spot whore they now stood they achieved Catholic Emancipation , and there , with the blessing of God , they would effect the repeal of the union—( loud cheers . )

      The Rev . Mr . Hennkssy then came forward and complimented Tipperary on the glorious reception given to the Liberator there . The struggle of 1823 was still fresh in their recollection , aud Clare would r ; bfc bo Clare if she did not make a grand display on the loth of June . He impressed on them all the necessity of having their contributions ready when called for ; and coneludeJ a short but energetic speech , by calling for three cheers for the Queen , threeeheers for the Repeal or' the Union , and three for O'Connell , which was responded to by every one present . The meeting then separated in a peaceable and orderly manner .

      Troops fob Ireland . —On Sunday morning , we believe quite unexpectedly , the * 2 d Dragoon Guards ( or Queen ' s ; Bays ) , then stationed in the cavalry barracks , Hulme , received the route" for Ireland , and they inarched i ' rooi Manchester on Monday , for Liverpool ^ on their route to Ireland . It is sai d that their present destination is Muliingar . —Manchester Guardian . -. The Evening Post states that two brigades of the Guards are under orders of readiness for Ireland . No period has yet been fixed for their departure . It 13 stated that two armed steam-vessels the Cyclops and Rhadamanthus , have been ordered for service on the Irish coast during the imaginary insurrection . They are , it is said , to bring over large supplies of military stores . All this only serves to accelerate the Repeal agitation .
