BUNTING AND METH- ODISM. [From the London Star, June 24.) The Wesleyan community has.within the last few days, sustained the loss of its greatest and ablest man. The remains of Dr. John Bunting, whose name has been before the public for more than half a century, and who has been unirer- sally acknowledged to be the ‘‘ master mind” of the Wesleyan Conference, were conveyed to their final resting place on Tucsday. He died in the 50th year of his age, and the 50th of his aninistry. The life thus extended to what has deen regarded as the extreme limit alloted to ian, and so large a portion of which was ac- tively occupied, was one of more than average interest and value. Whatever opinions may be entertained by our readers as to the character and claims of the religions system of Method- ism, no one who has been observant of the reli- gious life of England, or acquainted with the gigantic efforts put forth by Methodism to exe tend Christianity in other lands. can fail to ac- knowledge that such a system, so continuously successful, +o earnest, and, notwithstanding some drawbacks, so useful in reclaiming some vf the lowest aud most depraved of our fellow- wen, has claims uponour respectful notice and —— matter for careful study. n to ordinary degree the title of the late Dr. Banting is the history of Methodism. Sixty years ago, when Dr. B. entered the Wesleyan ministry, the Methodist societies might be said to have been mourning for their apostate foun ier, and the elaborate system of Methodism had lost the hand that created and maintained it. An agitation originated by one of Mr. Wes ys preacherr, Rey. Mr. Kilham, had first ended in a small secession; but elements ef discord and strife remained, and were likely,sooner or later, “oe Sroak out again, and end, perhaps, in the to- “al destruction of the connection. The authority exercised by Mr. Wesley, on tho ground of the personal relation in which the Wesleyan socie- ties stood to him, their founder, but which, be- tore his death, he warned his preachers could not be rightfully or saccessfully exercised by any one else,was now assumed by theWesleyan Conference, who claimed to stand in Mr. Wes- ley’s place towards the societies he had formed. iu the hands of feeble men such an undue assumption of authority must have led to con- tempt, and ultimaiely to resistance and over- throw, but some of Mr. Wesley’s successors Were not feeble, but thoroughly able men, and pe Thed the ablest of them—the Rey. William pson, one of the earliest presidents ot the Canterence—tovk the youth, Jabez Bunting, under his tutelage, and is said to have first in- doctrinated into the working of the pecu- liar ecclesiastical system of Methodism, and kindled in the young aspirant after Wesleyan honors the ambition to attain distinction and authority among his brethren, thus preparing tor future eminence the man who for s0 long a period has swayed with almest absolute author- ity the destinies of Methodism. Dr. Bunting, even while comparatively a youth, attained distinetion in the Wesleyan Conference. He was not longa member cf it before his extraordinary talent as a ter brought him into prominence. For felicity of Ulustration and keen apprehension, and for readiaess in reply, he is said, even by those who did not admire his policy, to have had no superior in any assembly in the kingdom Without much eloquence, he was always clear, logical and persuasive. He was remarkable for the soundness of his judgment, but still more remarkable for the inimitable tact which he invariably manifested. ‘To attain the posi- tion which he held as being, in fact, dictator in Methodism, and still more to retain it for so long a period, required no ordinary qualifica- tions of intellect and character. But he pos- sessed them all. Fora long period his author- ity was absolute, his will was law, and every attempt at opposition brought down upon the head of the luckless offender the severest een- sure the Conference could inflict. We are not now, however, so much con- cerned with Dr. Bunting’s personal qualities, or with the fuets of bis life, as with the influ- ence of that life and character upon the reli- gious organization with which he was con- nected. And here we are compelled to ex- Press our conviction that while Dr. Bunting did much to advance Methodism, he was of- tentimes too solicitous to serve it at the ex- pense of other and highe: considerations. In his hands Methodism became respectable, politically influential. And this seemed the great object of his life. For this he allied him- self with Toryism in Church and State, and dragged the Wesleyan Conference after him. Por this he flattered and petted, by connexional honors, the rich men in Methodism. Alt bis efforts, too, were intended to consolidate the power of the Conference over the Methodist people, then establishing the disproportionate influence of a few preachers in official situa- tions over the Conference, and ultimately hold- ing the reins of power in hisown hands. He was the Conference. He directed the move- ment; he pulled the strings of the whole ma- chine. That he exercised this authority in the main wisely and well, and made Metbodism, as he aimed at doing, influential and respecta- ble, is. after all, but qualified praise: for in so = crushed out all individual freedom in the Wesleyan Oonterence. Liberty of speech was almost unknown, aud the annual assembly of four or five hundred ministers became only a court of registration for acts that had been already decided upon by one accomplished and far-seeing, but sometimes unscrupulous mind, who used the tools he surrounded himself with at his own pleasure and to accomplish his own Purposes. His admirers said that these par- poses were not selfish, because they did not en- rich him, and Dr. Bunting, with all his faults, showed no love of money for himself or for its own sake; but the desire of self-aggrandize- mevt in the case of public men is more fre- quently shown in the pursuit of power, or the other objects of ambition, than in pursuit of wealth Dr. Bunting’s whole life was de- voted to the one object. the centralization of all power in the hands of the Conference, where he reigned supreme and alone Various attempts have been made by the Methodist people, within the last fifty years, to obtain some degree of ecclesiastical freedom and the right of self-government, but these al- ways found in Dr. Bunting a determined and successful Spponent. He was mixed up in all the strifes which have oceurred in Methodism for the last half century, and which have made it a proverb for contention and dispute. In all he wasever the uncompromising an- tagonist of reform or concession. Indeed, to some extent, nearly all the agitations which have shaken Methodism for many years past originated in oppos:tion to some of his acts, or were brought into immediate relation to him. The Band Room controversy in Manchester, the split arising out of the Leed= organ case the Warrenits division in 1835, and the recent agitation which has cost the connection 100,000 members, may be quoted as remavkable in- stances. But, on the other hand, te his praise it must be said that the grest institutions whieh have added so much tw the glory und eficieney of Methodism were also us closely related ‘to him. To speak of one only—the gigantic Missionary Society, which has passed unharmed through all the recent disturbances, was wainly his creation ; and as one of its sec retaries for many years, he controlled all its operations. *+ During the last thirty years,” says Grindrod, in his Oimipeadtonn of Wesleyan Methodism. “our legisiation bears intrinsic evidence of being the production of one eupe- rior mind. “Other parties may have contributed original suggestions and emendations, bat it is obvious that one master hand, for the last gen- eration, has framed the great majority of the acts of our Couference. Besides any minor regulations dispersed through our Annual Minutes, the invaluable system of finance, par- teularly in the department of the Contingent Daud. the entire evastitution of the Missiouary “ovlety, of the Theological Lustituuon, aadof vur Sunday Schools, were framed by the same honored minister.’ It was in the manage- mentof the Missionary Society that bis pecu- tiar genius found an appropriate sphere for its exercise. He was an accomplished financier, and although the Society was often involved in enormous debt for a time, he kept it still afloat and prosperous, and the burden of adebt only seemed to be the occasion for it to put forth greater energies than before.

Had he died six or eight years , it is hardly too much to say that the conflict which then raged both within and without the Wesleyan Conference must have presented a totally different aspect, for although other and younger men were more prominently engaged in the struggle, yet it was round him the battle was fought; he was the centre around whom rallied all who, in the Conference, or out of it, were opposed to inno- vation or change. But although the reforming party within the Conference were a feeble mi- nority, we believe that,had the higher pressure been removed, and free speech allowed, there were many of the preachers who would have joined in the advocacy of liberal measures.

Tne Amerotyrr Process.—This new pro- cess of photography upon glass excels all pre- vious methods of taking portraits by the action of light. The daguerreotype, it is well known, too commonly wears a sharp, angular, harsh expression, arising from too strong a contrast of light and shade. The phowersph. on the contrary, is apt to wear a dull, inanimate ex- pression, and its unnatural hue is sometimes far from being agreeable. By the ambrotype process entire precision of outline and natural- ness of feature and expression are secured, while at the same time a tone of softness is dif- fused over the picture from the more graceful effeot of light and shade upon a surface of glass. Moreover, two pictures are obtained from one impression, the face of the glass ex- hibiting the sitter as he sees himself in a mir- ror, while the reverse shows bim as he appears to others. The latter isa very great advan- tage over either the daguerreotype or the pho- tograph. These always present a reversed pic- ture, more natural to the eye of the subject himself than to others; but the ambrotype gives both the mirror face and the natural tace.
