PAPAL AGGRESSION. LETTEIL II, "The power of governing the universal Church entrusted by our Lord Jesus Christ to the Roman Pontiff; in the person of St. fleter, &c.-I'(il)al Bill. giR>—In my last I endeavoured to shew from Holy Scripture, that supremacy was never bestowed on St. Peter, by Jesus Christ, and therefore that it cannot be a prerogative of any of his successors, us such In this letter I proceed to show in a similar manner that uni- versal supremacy has no place in the creed of the early Church. On the words, As the Father sent me, so also I send you," St, Cyprian remarks that thereby our Lord "granted to all the Apostles an equal power." St. Clirysostom, speaking of St. Paul, writes thus: "W hat ran be iiiorehiiiiible than thissoul ? after Romany andso great exploits, having no need at all of Peter, or of his discourse, but being in dignity l)(11W to hi:n (for I will now say no more) he yet doth go up to him," &e. St Cnman, referring to the dispute between St. Peter and St. Paul, writes tlitis Neither Peter, whom the Lord iirst chose, and on whom he built his Church, when Paul afterwards contested with him about circumcision, did insolently challenge, or arrogantly assume any thing to himself, so as to say, that he did hold the primacy, and that rather tho-.? who were newer and later Apostles ought to obey him." Ambrose writes tliii, Who dare resist Peter the Apostle, to whom the Lord did give the key" of the kingdom of heaven, but another such an one who, in assurance of his election, knowing himself not to be unequal to him, might constantly disprove what he hadunauvised- I%- tloiie ?" St. Clirysostom says thus of St. Pan l e (St. Paul) further cloth show himself to be equal to them (the other Apostles) in dignity, and compnretli himself, not oiil3, to the others, but even to the ring- leader; stiewitit, tliqt each did enjoy equal dignity." St. Cvprian The other Ajaostles were indeed that which Peter was, endowed witn equal consortship of honorand power;" again," although our Lord giveth to all the Apostles eq>ial power after his resurrection." St. l'hrpostom writes: "St. Paul showeth that each Apostle did enjoy equal dignity." The above passages, which 1 have selected from Barrow's famous work on the Pope's t supremacy, amply testify that the great Fathers of the early Church knew nothing of a supre- macy, such as that claimed by the Roman Pontifis, and tlievefore I hesitate iiot to sttn- fliit it is the ditty of members of the Chnreh of Engbntl to adopt eyery legitimate method to frnstratc the present aggressive moycment ofPio Nono.

TO MR. JOHN PHILLIPS. Decemhc-r 20th. 1S50. Sir,—The investigation of the truth ought at all tunes to be pursued independently of party prejudices, and of the accidental position which circumstances may have caused any ii,di,-id,?,?l to In the confidence that you will readily accede to the correctness of this maxim, I mbmit the followi_ ng remarks to your candid and dispassionate considera- tion. I might, perhaps in the opinion of some, have been justified in retorting upon you, in terms similar to those in which you have thought fit to induce, in your rather \"Íukut attack upon the Church and her minis- tuv but I do not thiuk that would serve the cause of truth or of charity I therefore prefer leaving the settlement of what is past to your own retrospection, being satisfied that more mature reflection will lead you to helieve, that word, used hy the Editor of a respectable Newspaper, however unpalatable to your- self, could not justify your sweeping invectives against a hody of men, who have no connection whatever with aN- Editoriil articles, which may have appeared in f hat publication. in your Lecture" you quote the following passage from the New Testament, Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature, &c." as a proof, that a general commission was given to every man, whose inclination might be, to preach whatever h believed to be the doctrines and tel alllllinister the Sacraments of Christ's Church, without any authorized external ordination in fact that a man's owu Jeelings, f sanctioned by a certain number of persons agreeing with him in opinion, were a sufficient ordination. I readily grant that the words above quoted contain a command, that the (Tospet should be preached to overv creatine; but I deny that the (iospel was co.11- mitted to every creature indiscriminately to preach according to the dictates of his own fancy, and pre- ,stuned infallibility or that a certain number of indivi duals which he choses to designate the brotherhood, ca 11 give authority to such funcy. The incorrectness of the conclusion you appear to drawn, will, I think be manifest from the passage if candidly considered in connection with the context. To whom were the words spoken ? To all the fol- lowers of our Lord, or to the eleven only Let Scrip- ture determine. ''Then the eleven disciples went I away into Galilee, into a mountain, where Jesus had appointed them, and Jesus came and spake unto them sa*ving, Go ye therefore and teach," Sc. Matt, xxviii. IAfterwards. He appeared unto tho eleven as they ?,t at meat, and He said unto thm, Go ye into a111he &e. '\Iai-4 x'vi.it,J.').And?ain, Until the day in which He was taken up, after that He through the Holy Ghost had given commandments to the Apostles whom he had chosen." Acts i. 2. This, I presume, would be enough to s hew that the ministry of the Christian Church was not committed to all the followers of our blessed Lord indiscriminately or without special appointment; but that a certain number were chosen for a certain purpose out of the res:, even had the Scripture said 110 more. But the tYor d s of the EvanKeHst place the ft--t beyond all con- tr ersy And when it was day He called unto Him hi c disciples, and of them lie chose ticelee, whom He I al-o named Apostles." Luke vi. 13. But if the ordination or legitimate appointment of ministers consisted only of certain i\x>\ivoxci\ .feelings, there would he no need of any external appointment at all; because then all authority would come from and would be the mere dictate of each man's heart or imagination. Had ordination consisted merely of a ccrtain state of the feeliw/s with the consent of the Brotherhood, liars abas, as iee/1 as Matthias would have he"11 an Apostle, and Judas Iscariot wou!:l not have been. Bur we know fro:1 the word of truth the contrary to have been the fact. Corah seems to have had the sanction of a great number of hisbrethren, and to have been also prompted by zealous feelings, but notwithstanding his" yain- wi% not looked upon as a sullicient title. Again, in reference to iiiotlier olfice, that of Moses, an outward call was necessary a mere imraril fo"!illg of icidingitess was not sufHcten' At -10 years old, Moses went out uncommissioned; he was merely promoted by his feelings, "it came in/0 his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel." His fancied commission then proved a n'dlHy. At 80 years old he teas outward!j :e.l by Iliin, I !Ioiie ca't?ive authority, (and who choseshis I own instruments and metnoits torus conveyance;. 111s commission was proved by the power promised to and co-operating with that commission and he (who when Ifseiil was rejected by them) led the children of Is- rael through the perils of the wilderness to thc coufines of the promised land. It was not illoses's ii-ill that worked, but Gods icill through his commissioned servant, Moses. I will leave v »u to judge whether your ordination was most like that of Moses at -10, or that of Moses at SO years of a 'r'0i or if you must have the sanctum of a certain self-separating brotherhood, that of Corah. I would not have you suppo; that I am endea- v-irnn- to prove thatour Saviour gave power to preach the Gospel, only to his twelve Apostles, being wel! aware that lie sent out seventy other also but J contend that power to ordain other., after his own tosiiit the same special ant.joinj to others, was confined to the Apostles and their suc- cessors • and I believe you cannot prove the contrary, either from or from authentic history, You will observe, Sir, that I am not now attempting to prove icho the successors of tne Apostles maj be, thinking it on the contrary, tar better that they beV'eve they have that succession should make full proof of their ministry by the purity 0, their lives, and the charitableness of their judgment, than by unpro- fitable disputations j my object lias been to shew tlu;, feelings, however pure, and the approval of an unauthorized brotherhood, however sincere, are not sufficient to confer ministerial authority. I belicve there is no instance of the appointment ot a Bishop (i.e., one with authority lo mlam oj;.c«) by the suti'rages of the brotherhocm only, u it.ioU tl.. cc>- Snfe of at laud one Bishop, although here are instances of Bishops being a.rpomte by IJ.s.iOps and Apostles, without its being nu.ica. that t..e s.nt of the brotherhood was obtiiiiiel, commonly how ever, the selection of the individual (or individua l was made by the members of the church genera! but ?6nafapprova] and consec-atlon wa, the act of the Bishops only. ?' I?ha?I?aye stated does not appear to you to be correct, the onus of pTo\'in the contrary lies with you: and I declare with very unfeigned sincerity, that I am not impressed w ith an idea of m)' own inFflibility, as not to be open to such conviction, I am.

TO MR. JOHN PHILLIPS, CALVINISTIC ME- THODIST MINISTER, IN BANGOR. LETTER II. Sir,—For the information of such readers as may not have seen your lecture, I will here state that your subject has been divided into three heads1. "Rea- sons for nonconformity stated. 2. The Popish and Pu- seyite Apostolical succession refuted. 3. The Apos- tolical authority of nonconforming Ministers nrover1." This order I will follow, and I trust I shall be able by means of a few letters to prove, 1. That some of your reasons for nonconformity with the Church are equally cogent against any other known form of Christianity, even against your own sect; and that they all are miserably insufficient and entirely at variance with the New Testamant. 2. That the Apostolic Succession is neither a Popish nor a Puseyite doctrine, having been always held in the Christian Church from Apostolic times, and being therefore anterior to the commencement of Popery as well as to the birth of Dr. Pusey; and that you must either allow that your attempted refutation of this doctrine entirely fails, or else that the Christian Church perished at its very birth, and had no existence in the world for about 1500 years-a position plainly- heretical and even infidel. ;i. That there is no evidence, either in Scripture or in the lii-itory of the Church, that nonconforming or dissenting ministers have any Apostoiical or Divine authority whatever. I shall now seriously address myself, in regular order, to the consideration of these heads but before I eomnwnce I wish to state distinctly that with you personally I have 110 quarrel, and that I shall Care- fully abstain from all woras that may give you just cause of offence, or that may wound your feelings. So you will, I hope, understand that, if the subject occasionally compels me to be somewhat severe, my observations do not in the lea3t apply to you in your individual character, but only as the representative of a certain system or systems which I b(,Iicve to be 1111- scriptural, and which I deem it my duty thoroughly to expose, and to exhibit before the public in all their de- formity, proving their utter disagreement with the Chris- tian Church, both at the present and in past times. This duty has been imposed upon mc with increased urgency by the publication of your lecture. To proceed then with the first of the foregoing heads: you say, We secede from the communion of the Church of England, because of the nonconformity of her institutions with the simple and clear teaching of the New Testament." You then proceed to say that the kingdom of heaven is a monarchy'; that its king is Christ; that a department of His kingdom is the visible Church on earth; that lIe alone nas au- thority to institute laws, offices, and ordinances, for that He is the head of the Church of the New Testa- ment; that all these have been already appointed by Him and are written in His book. Now on all these points we agree entirely, and no one can justly charge our Church with denying them. But I am greatly surprised that you should have alluded at all to a n- sible ehmch j for since you said a little before that, the word dissent, in the quotation referred to, in- cludes all denominations of Christians in the United Kingdom not connected with Episcopalianism or Po- pery," and since you came forward as a Dissenter and the champion of Dissenters, it is difficult to see how yon could reconcile the existence of such a variety of !)"clief and practice, HS notoriously prevail among those denominatiom," with the doctrine which is neces- sarily involved in the confession of a viible church. I could not now enumerate all the "denominations" within the United Kingdom. I believe their number is very large. But it is sufifcient for my purpose to specify a few, which are well known among ourselves. These are Calvinistic Methodists, Wesleyan Metho- dists, Independents, Anabaptists, Socinians, and Lat- terdny Saints. Some of these are again subdivided, Now with such a variety of sects, all independent of each other, before your eyes, it would have been bet- ter for you if you had said "visible churches." Con- troversialists on your side of the question generally deny the existence of a visible Church, and maintain that the true Church of God on earth is made up of I all men who believe in Christ, whatever sect or form of belief they may have adopted. But this idea is quite inconsistent with the belief in one visible Church for if the Church be made up of believers from among the various sects, it cannot be visible at all, as it would he impossible to see who does or who does not truly believe. If you are really serious in saying that there is a visible church on earth, and that it is a depart- j ment of the great monarchy of Christ, you will also allow that it must have, not only laws and offices consistent all with each other, but also officers and ministers authorized by the great King himself, and that these have allotted to them by competent autho- rity, their several places and stations, each keeping within his own separate sphere, and not trenching upon the rights and jurisdiction of any other, If the visible church really be what you describe it, it is evi- (leiit that its laws, its offices, and ordinances, having been framed by Him who was God as well as man, and therefore "not the author of confusion," must necessarily be of such a nature as would promote har- mony and peace among His subjects. And as the ex- istence of laws and oflices must imply also the cxis- tence of some persons authorized to execute them, so it will appear evident that the great King must have made some provision for the due preservation of order among His ministers, all being held ullller certain restraint, subject to correction and even loss of office, and resjJonsible for the due execution of their trust to some one intelligible and acknowledged authority. Not to grant this would imply that the heavenly King in the administration of this department of His king- dom, exercises less wisdom t lan do earthly kings. Now let me ask you, and I do it in all serious- ness, taking the mass of Dissenters in the United Kingdom, What provision has there been made tor Tiarmonv among those who call themselves mi- nisters of the great King? Do the ministers of of one sect exercise any control over those of another ? Or arc the ministers ot' all sects in the aggregate sub- ject to some one common authoiity which they all alike acknowledge, and to which they bow with nn- doubting submission ? Why, surely you cannot deny that the reverse of this is notoriously the case. You cannot shelter yourself by saying that the New Testa- ment is that common authority, for that will not avail von. When every man puts his own interpretation upon a law, that law becomes a dead letter; so also it the verious denominations" interpret the NewTestament, each according to its own fancy, it at once becomes a nullity for what can be its use when the belief ot those who profess to follow it assumes such II variety of form, and their examination if it issues in such contra- dictory results ? As in an earthly kingdom, judges and other oiffcers are appointed with authority to interpret and to execute its laws, so in the visible Church, if it he as you say, a department of the kiugdom of Christ, we mustsuppose that the same provis i on has heei' mad e. But where are t h ose officers w liose de- cisions on points of faith and practice would be respected and received with submission by the aggregate mass of Dissenters ? If there are not any such, by what au- thority can they be bound together ? There are many I faults and blemishes incidental to a good system, but the faults of Dissent are inherent in the very prin- I ? ?. ciples upon which it is founded. How can you possimy think that the various sects can form one harmonious whole, adep'artmentof Christ's kingdom ? Do they not continuallymaintain a hostile attitude in relation both to the Church and to one another? Are there not many localities which have often witnessed the existence of one or more sects threatened with extinction by the temporary success of some more fortunate rival.' Are they not ever preying upon and devouring each other Surely when I cannot see among the sects of Dissent- ers any provision made for the preservation of unity and order, nor any shadow of resemblance to such an authority as I have described, as of necessity belonging to a kingdom, you will not wonder if I come to the conclusion that so long as they remain Dissenters, they cannot be a part of that visible Church, which, as you truly say, is a department of the monarchy of the King of heaven. Surely it must be impossible that they can,In their present state, belong to that monarchy; for there is among them no harmony, no united action, no visible authority binding them together, as a whole; and the characteristics that chiefly mark them are not those that belong to a kingdom at unity with itsdf, but the very contrary, "Variance, strife, seditions, heresies," which St. Paul designates as the works of the flesh iiii(I further adds, that they which do such things shall not inherit thekingdom of God." (Gal v. 21.) It is unfortunate for your theory, I think, that you should have admitted a* visible Church, and invested it with all the attributes of a kingdom for in a kingdom the unity and mutual dependence of its several parts must be seen, felt, and acknowledged, andlcannothcip "xpressing considerable surprise at that weaknessof un- derstanding which seduced you into an admission which, as it will now appear even to vouraelf, is ab- n'utjlv fatal to your position You will now see tILl! the r of your argument is no great cLfficuhy, for your own words confute yen, and I shall show by various instances that I I-cqitii, no better aid than that furnished bv your own premises to destroy entirely your ■evetelisions to be considered a lawful minister in thie; 'lcDartiucnt cf the monarchy of the King of heaven.

B&ILWAY INTELLIGENCE. I CIIESTEB AND HOLVIIEAI) RAILWAY.—AVe believe that definitive arrnngements have been made between the London and North Western and Chester and Holyhead Hailway Companies, which ma, subject to the necessary leal sanction, be considered as final, and w hich we trust will work to the advantage of both parties. The inten- tion of the arrangements is to provide for the liquidation of the outstonlling debts of the Chester and Holyhead Company by the issue of a preference stock-such stock, however, will not have any preference over the original preference stock, which remains with its rights intact. The amount of the new stock will be £ :i00,000. The line is to be worked as an integral portion of the London and Xorth Western Railway.—Morning Herald. RAILWAY RLCKU'TS.—The gross rceeiptsoftraffie upon the railways in the United Kingdom since the 30th of June last, up to the date of the returns for the last week, equal to £ 1 018. 19s. ljd. per mile for the period in question. Last year the same number of weeks produced, on 5,023 miles) the sum of £;í,:JÐG,¡¡" showing an ayrrage of £ 1,074. 8s. nI' per mile. The gross tr,Uie for the week amounts to Z?31,279. 2(t., which on 6,146 mHes, in- diciites an a\erage of X'37. 12s. 7Jd. per mile. The cor- responding week in 1840 produced £ 200,620., which, on 2S2 miles, is equate an average of per mile. The general average for the week is therefore a:ainst the present year, to .the extent of 7s. OJd. per mile, SOUTH WALES RAILWAY.—Active preparations are be. incr made for the extension of the South Wales line, wesiward from Swansea. The contracts are being let, and it is untlcrstood that the portion lying between Swansea and Loughor has been taken. There is a formid- able obstacle to the rapid formation of this part in the form of a tunnel 1,000 yards in length, and the time of opening to Carmarthen will depend upon the rapidity with which this tunnel is carried on. The intent is to reach Milford Haven, the finest harbour in Great Britain. Mr. Talbot has recently visited Cardiff for the purpose of inspecting the docks and shipping, with a view of deciding upon a plan for connecting theTanYaleantl South Wales Railways either by a branch or a junction from the latter linc.

IRISH INTELLIGENCE. Succiissrui. OPERATION.—The public in general are aware that improvements in surgery have, of late years, frequently aocomplished what our forefathers would have called miracles. This is particularly the case in reference to the eye, an organ at once delicate and essential. The following is of recent occurrence, and interesting to this locality. In the month of September last, Ann Carson, the wife of a baker in Downpatrick, but now resident of Annalong, went to Liverpool f r the benefit of surgical skill in reference to her eyes. Of one she was totally blind,the other still retained partial iiioii. She placed herself under the care of Dr. Nottingham, who at once saw that it was necessary to perform an operation. The result of this was that the patient returned to Downpatrick in about three weeks, with the sight completely restored to the blind eye. A few days ago, she addressed a letter to Dr. Nottingham, stating in grateful terms her complete recovery. The writing, which is close and small, is in her own hand, and was executed without even the tyid of spectacles,—Xewry Telegraph.

THE DANGERS OF COAST NAVIGATION. I (from tlla Shipping Gazette.) In a great maritime country like this, WIth, ior U1 amount of its shipping and the extent of its trade, compa- ratively few ports along its shores, and those for the most part difficult of access, many of them, moreover, studded round with banks and shoals, it is obvious that ship- wreck, and consequent loss of life, must be of frequent occurrence. Notwithstanding this, there is scarcely a country in Europe, at last in these northern latitudes, where there are fewer means supplied for the rescue of life from the dangers of the sea. Here and there there is a life-boat, chiefly on the north-east coast of the kingdom, and the Government have supplied some of our coast- guard stations with Manby's apparatus and Dennet's rockets, while 'he life-boats are in, we believe, every in- stance, built and supported by private subscriptions.— Great crcdit is due to the Dutch who, above .ill other countries, have supplied the means and offered the great- est encouragement for the preservation of life from ship- wreck, instances of which we recorded in the II Shipping and Mercantile Gazette" of the yuth ult., iu the case of the people of Rotterdam. We should like to see the people of England, especially along the sea-coast, aroused to a kindred spirit; it is, therefore, with much gratifica- tion that we notice the example which has been set by that excellent institution, the Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Royal Benevolent Society. At a general meeting of the Subscribers, held at the end of last month, it was unanimously resolved that the sum of £1,000 should be applied as a first outlay, to organise a system of life-bouts along the coasts of the United Kingdom. It was further suggested in the resolution, that A gene- ral appeal be made to the country at large for further aid to establish life-boats in the various parts of the coast where the necessity exists. Where now are our- philanthropists, our statesmen, our ministcrs-where the Admiralty 1 Here is an excel- lent opportunity for them to show the value they set upon the lires of our-hardy seamen here is a noble xa.mp1C, set them by a Society whose funds arc party furnished by the annual contributions of the Seamen and FisliLi-in ii themselves. The Society is of opinion that Life Boats are needed along the coasts of the United Kingdom. They are indeed sadly needed they are very scarce along the Southern and Western Coasts of England we doubt whether there is a Life Boat in Scotland; and we are almost certain that there is no such thing in Ireland. B,lt Cl,ooo will only go a short way in supplying so great a deficiency. lIenee the neccssity for the appeal which the Society have made to the general—we hope we may be able to say, the generous public of this coun- try. Let our great men set the example, and we have no fears for the result. We would be wrong not to speak in this place of the noble premium offered by the Duke of Northumberland. for models of an approved Life Boat for where Life Boats are supplied, it is of the g,c?t,?t consequencc t]??t they should really be what the name implies. Neither will it be out of place when treating of such a subject as the saving of life from shipwreck, to offer a suggestion in connection with the object. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, vessels are stranded on a lee shove, and great difficulty is frequently experienced in propelling a shell or rocket with a line attached to it against a heavy gale. In many cases the line falls short, or it will pass ahead or astern of the ves- sel, instead of going right across her or it has sometimes happened that it has fallen so as to be inaccessible to those on board. A rocket and a line on board the vessel are not subject to any of these casualties; the wind propels the line to the shore, and whether it falls a hundred yards to the right or to the left is a matter of no conse- quence-the parties on the beach can always get hold of it, and establish a communication with the vessel. Du- ring a dark night, particularly, this is of great conse- quence, when of course there are increased difficulties in throwing a shell or rocket from the shore in a proper di. rection. We would, therefore, suggest that Shipowners should supply their vessels with two or three rockets, and a couple of whole lines, as a security to their seamen in the event of wreck, thr expense would not be great, and would, we think, be amply compensated by the results. [The statement that the Western Coast of the King- dom is very inefficiently supplied with Life Boats, does not apply to Anglesea, as the Branch of the Society for Preservation of Life from Shipwreck, have either five or six Boats along the cost.)-Eu, W, C.

During the intervals of the examination, a miscelia- neous concert was performed under the direction of Signior Sapio, the music master of the establish- ment Mr. Lewis presided at the piano, and Messrs. Baxter and Wait, of Chester Cathedral, assisted in the vocal department, which exhibited the musical at- tainments of the boys to great advantage. After the examinations, a party of 80 guests sat down to dinner, and enjoyed, with hearty good will, the friendly hospi- tality of Dr. and Mrs. Brindley; and advantage was takeu of this opportunity, by the principal visitors on the occasion, t. pay a tribute of respect and admira- tion to the conductors of Tarvin Hall School. The Rev. J. Haworth, B. Darbyshire, Esq., the Rev. H. S. Joseph, G. Folliot, Esq., the Rev. W. Hayes, W.

Parkinson, M.A., one of the Tutors and Fellows of St. John's, Cam- bridge, and senior Wrangler of 18-15, who conducted the examination:- Dear Sir,—In giving you a report of the examina- tion of Tarvin Hall School, in which I yesterdav took a part, I beg, in the first place, to express to you the general satisfaction which the boys gave in passing it. In those subjects which came more especially under my own notice, I was much pleased with the intel- ligence, and, in general, accurate knowledge, displayed by the senior boys in my private examination of them in higher branches of Mathematics than I had expected to find them acquainted with. I beg to report to you the names of Long, Broome, Underwood, Swan, and Arderne, and especially the first, as very deserving of commendation and encouragement. I should wish to place before them, as a stimulus to honourable ambition, the example of boys educated at this school, who are now passing through the University, with a prospect of distinction, honourable to themselves, and gratifying to you as the director of their early studies.. I cannot close my report without noticing, with plea- sure, the courteous bearing of all the boys who came under my observation. d ei- Believe me, dear Sir, Yours very truly, Dr. Brindley. S. PARKINSON. I

ENIGMAS, CHARADES, &-c. 1. Divide my whole, each half reverse, A liquid you will find; Though drawn from sweets, yet it has caused Much bitter to mankind. My whole doth discontent enpress Whether by word or look, And yet true lovers oft it soothes When wandering by the brook. 2. Cut off my head, and if you guess, Your angry feelings you'll express Cut off my tail, and you will see In me a tall and stately tree. My whole complete is what you like On every cold and wintry night. 3. Without my first man would not be complete; Without my second no man can bread eat; My whole to swinish multitudes is ever a great treat 4. My. first's a treasure rarely to be found, Though we may seek it all the world round; If once obtained, more prized than eastern gem, Than miser's gold, or sparkling diadem. My second is a noble work of art, Although it causes many a weeping heart; It braves the winter's cold, the summer's heat, Can Britons guard, and Britain's foes defeat. My whole, if once possess't, a balm will prove To soften widow's grief, or hopeless love, Cheer with its smile affliction's trying hour, And soothe misfortune with its healing power. 5. Whatewr object you pursue, lily. first you've always full in view, "Though you don't oft behold it; A belle's my next, in bright array: Love binds my own in fragrant May- Let Flora's pride unfold it. 0. My first is earth, but of fhe richer kind; Oft in my second have free voters dined; My. whole's a town, a title of a man, Who won his laurels in the reign of Ann, 7. My first is myself in a very short word, A puppet's my second, and you are my third. 8. My first is done by ladies' nags, whenever ladies fide; My second's done to all our friends, soon after they have died. mv whole's an ancient city, in English annals known, Before our much-loved country so powerful had grown. 9.1 bend beneath the weight of arms; My beauty not my valour charms; To fiery trials I am often led, And tears like blood I freely shed, 10. My first is a preposition, My second is a composition, My whole is an acquisition. 11. My first is an Irish nickname You'll my second a tumult call; And my whole is one with fame Who'd'for his country fall. 12. I went away, and not looking for a thing, obtained it; I sat down immediately and sought for it; but being unable to discover it, I went home with it in my posses- sion, 13. My first s in every barber's shop, And serves him for my second; My whole I most sincerely hope I never shall be reckoned. 14. In writing this I use my first; My seco'! means a few lily whole most dandies think they are, And so, perhaps, do you. 15. Did you ever meet with me 1 I am a word of five letters; take two away and ten remains. l(j. My first is a bird; my second is what my whole is; my second is eaten by my first: and my ifrst, second, and whole are eaten by man. 1". Two thousand one hundred divided by two, Will show in a word what the dandy must do, When he would appear like his brother, the ape, In character, figure, and beautiful shape. 18 If from six you deduct nine, from nine deduct ten, and from forty deduct fifty, six will remain. How is this It). Sly first is a pronoun possessive, The form of my second is round, And my whole is the name of a fish Which in shoals is most frequently found. 20. My first makes my second, and what appears droll, In making my second, it forms my whole. 21 I am a word of six letters. 5 is a thousand, my 4, 3, 2 and 4, 0, 5, 3, 2, 4 are the ruin of thousands: mv 5 1, 2, may signify thousands; my 2, fi, 1 is given to thousands; my 4, 1, 5 is often worth thousands; my 4, 6, 3, 2 is the 0, 3, 5 of thousands and my whole lias often puzzled thousands.

No sooner was this said than done, for offhe started, fetch- ed the animal from the stable, and very shortly anuouticcd his progress by a loud clattcriug on the old oak staircase. In a few minutes the horse w,is gazing on the assembled company. His owner then led him over a qiglit of chairs, which he jumped beautifully. Xothing then would satisfy the company but that lie must jump the dining tables. Mr. Fowler, the propiietor of the hotel, fearing lest sonic serious accident might occur, as the room is of great anti- quity, having been built by the Earl of Rochester in the time of Cl¡¡¡rlcs 11., ma,le strong objections; but he was over-ruled, and the horse was led over the tables, every- thing standing. The champagne glasses rattled, the plates quivered, the candlesticks shock, but nothing was displaced; back again he went, clearing everything at a bound; where- upon a most ardent sportsman, Mr. Manning, of Wendover, volunteered to ride liiin barebacked over, and, to the astonishment of all present, he accomplished it without bridle or saddle. The celebrated gentleman jock Captain. Barlowe, next essayed, and managed to make a smash of one table with its contents. This was onI). a temporary check, for in the face of a tremendous :;re and the cheering of all present he achieved the feat gallantly. It wa. now time to desist and ge the horse down stairs this was no sooner said than done, for the stairs and passages being kept polished, the gallant grey slipped about dreadfully, and was evidently afraid of the descent. At length, at the suggestion or a worthy br0::et, he was blindfolded, and thus deceuded into uie entrance-hall, but managed to break about a dozen of the carved oak banisters in his progress,
