Tue Cast or Mrs. Gu.mour.—As the medical ex- amination in this case has excited a good deal of attention and interest, not only among:t the mem- bors of the profession, but the public generally, we feel fied in devoting a small portion of our survey of it. We were much disap nog that the medical witesses, with exception, thatof Dr. Nelson, did not really eater into anything like rational deduction from their investigations, They contented them- selves with a mere detail ef their observations, leaving ‘o the Commissioner the work of educing the appropriate conclusio: Here, in our humble vion, they manifestly failed in the discharge of their duty as witnesses. They should have ex- pressed in definite and expheit terms, their opinion respecting the mental condition of the individual inder examination, and then if necessary or de- ianded, have stated the grounds of that opinion. ‘This would have saved time, enabied them to main- tain their professional dignity, and greatly facilitated the objects of the investigation. ‘The examination confirmed still more decidedly the opinion we expressed before it took place, that the evelection of the medical witnesses was un- happy. Common sense, should, we think, long die- tated the selection of gentlemen familiarly acquain- ted with the dialect, manners and customs of the community amongst whom the prisoner had always lived before her arrival in this country. Having given at such considerable length the testimony of the medical witnesses, and as the question of the woman's sanity has excited so much very reasone- ble interest here, we consider chat we may with propriety offer the following statement of the results of an examination into her mental character, made by a highly respectable and intelligent Scottish phy- sician in this city, Dr. Cumming :— My views regarding the present condition of Mrs_ Gil mour, are drawn from three interviews with her. Ihave been guided in forming an opinion regarding her condi- tion by a careful investigation of her appearance, manner and behavior, and her moral and intellectual condition— the vacant wandering stare of the eye, apparent insensi- bility or indifference to what is passing around her or what is said regarding her. When intimidated with the strongest expressions,the eye remained calm, no blush or palor passed over the cheek—no tremor of the lip—no evi dence ot sensibility to the importance of present life or death—eternal peace or suffering. ‘The same insensibili- ty was also manifested when her bosom was bared and her breasts examined. When brought to relate circum. stances of an affecting character, a tear never started to her eye , although toe eyes of her auditors were suflused; but a convulsive hysteric sob always sucoeeded such re- citals, and this it would be almost impossible to feign. In- sensiie to pain,ar evinced by her scratching her hand in nerous places to cause the blood to flow, that she might the Hes. Inditference to food, displaying no interest in the selection of articles at table. Apparent insensibilty to her present paiaful situation, and perfect docility of manner. ‘These circumstances in her appearance, man- ner aud behavior wereto me indicative of mental de- rangem ‘The instinctive desires and feelings were all apparently deficient er derenged, as evinced in her ap parent indifference to her situatton—to the approach of mea.s, eating when she was taken to table, but showing no anxiety for food, apparent indifference to extreme hea ing onat one of my visits a heavy woollen cloak wh only took off when her keeper assured her it wastoo warm; Showing no particular desire for repose, but rather a wakefulnes, sleep approaching apparently trom exhaustion ; having apparently ne desire to sojourn in any particular place,being equally desirous of remain- ing bere elsewhere, provided she was not confined in smailaspace. The desire of pleasure end dread of pain were not active, nor did it uppear that she had any mi e1 love of life. "All these instinctive feelings and desires were by no meané so active, as we naturally expect to Parental and filial affec- rth in conversation, but it was manifested only when ; she. however, disliked being alone, and parti- cularly desired the company of females. With regard to this department gation I was less satisfied, but it r idence, and any aberration’ might ed, though of this I wi not assured.— ctual state ot Mrs. Gilmour appearee to md 4 nt.

Of these she eto my mind unequivocal proof of deficiency and de- gement.

The steam ship Caledonia, Captaia E.G. Lott, was telegraphed 25 miles out at 6 oiclock P. M. on Monday, and arrived at iver moorings at the Cunard whert, East Boston, at 80’elock. She left Liverpoo) aa Tuesday, July 4th, thus Making the passage in thirteen days. by the Caledoma we have receiveal our files of Liverpoo! papers to July 4th, inclusive, and London to July 34. The intelligence brought by this packet possesses no siriking feature. The nots at Wales, which have been suppressed, and the agitation which sti!l prevails in freland, are amongst the most striking events of domestic interest. The rates exacted for olls, the number of the toll gates, hatred of the new Poor law, and the absence of work, are the causes which have mainly contributed to the recent distur- bances in South Wales. Among the passengers in the Caledonia were Count D’Orsay and the Countess of Blessington (travelling under assumed nantes) the former ac- companied by a valet and the latter by two female eervants. He is tall and strongly but elegantly built ; his features, however, and hands are small to effe- minacy, and his countenance, it must be confessed, shows traces of age, particularly about the eyee.— Lady Blessington is still a fbeauty, though she has evidently seen her best days. One of the passengers, who appears well inform. ed upon the subject, assures that they will pot visit the Atlantic cities, and that they return to Europe in November. The latest intelligence received from the United States and British America was conveyed to Eng land by the fevorite mail steam ship Acadia, Cap- tain A. Ryrie. Her passage was a remarkable good one, having pertormed the entire voyage from Boston in twelve, and trom Halifax ia ten days.— She brought upwards of seventy passengers, all oi whom have spoken in the highest terms of the ves- sel’s merits, and those of her worthy oomman- der. These packet ships have arrived from New York since our lasi publication. The Sheridan, Captain D. Peyster, reached onthe 20th ult.; was followed bythe George Washington, Captain Burrows, on the 30th, and by the United States, Captain Brtiton, yesterday. ; writer says that 100 priests were on the ground. ‘The gathering took place at Summerhill. Before it, mass was said in the open air, for the benefit of those who had left their distant homes too soon to attend morniagsery'ce. There were two platforms, | one for men, another for womea. The Chaurman was Lord French ; At the weekly Repeal meeting of the Repeal As- sociation, on Monday, Mr. O'Connell announced | that the Repeal rent for the week amounted to $3,- 103 735d.

Lord French wasthe chairman. At the dinner about six huedred gentlemen sat_ down to the table in a pavillion specially erected for the purpose. Mr. O’Cennell put the peaceable turn of is views more decidedly than he has yet done. Itis but a fortuight ago, when attending a meet- ing at Mallow, that there came upon me the mad- dening information that the country of my birth was threatened to be deluged with the blood of her children. Watching during that short period with an eye of eagerness the evolutions of our enemies, I now proclaim to you a perpetual peace, and a struggle—merely in political strife—bloodiess, stain- less, crimeless, upon our part—leaving to ourenemy the puitry resources only of a useless and unavailing resistance. The repeal rent for the week announced at the Monday meeting ot the Association at the Dublin Corn Exchange, was 1,258 pounds. : Four more writs to supercede Irish justices of the peace are anuounced—‘Sir Valentine Blake being one of the dismissed. The Overland Mall, The following telagraphich despaich from Mar- seilles, announcing the receipt of intelligence from Indiaand China, dated June 30, reached Wilmer and Smith’s office yesterday.

Tue Late Sin W. Macnaventon.—The remains of Sir. Wm. Macnaughton are now on their way to Calcutta, and were expected in afew days. They were recovered at a large price, by Lady Mac- naughton, from the well into which they had been cast. The body was recognised from its mutilated con- dition, and from thv absence of the head and the arm, which had beea cut off by the Affghan ruffians who had assassinated him.

The French police have been actively engaged in endeavoring to discover who are the Frenchmen said to have passed over to Ireland to foment dis- content, and to stir up the people to resistance. Royat Marriace.—The marriage of her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta, eldest daughter of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, with his Royal Highness Frederick, Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburgh Strelits, was celebrated on Wednesday evening, with great splendor, in the Chapel Royal, Buckingham Palace.

Shere Mahomed, at the date or the latest ac- counts, was again at,the head of a prodigious army of Beloochea, and had sent a message to the old General, to the effect that having fought two bat- tlesfor his country, he wished to have a third for religion. Sir Charles Napier was making every ef- fort tocomply effectively with this request. _ The following abstract of the news contains all that is interesting :— _ The news from China extands to the 28th of March. Her Majesty’s steamer Vixen, with the Secretary ot Legation on board, had arrived on the 16th. Some delay in the ratification of the treaty was anticipated, in consequence of the death of Elopoo.

An [mpontant Query.—We have received the following communication from a very respectable quarter, and as the query which*it submits, 1s of es- sential importance in the present stage of the “ Pu- seyite’’ controversy, we at once lay it before those it may coneern. To tHe Eviror or THe Herat :— Sin—In the serious controversy now pending upon the fundamental principles of Episcopal ordinations, the qualifications, subscriptions to certain condition, &c., I should think that the community should be informed upon one essential point; that is, whether the oach of sub- scription to the 39 articles is administered in this count: before or after the cerernony of ordination to the ci date for holy orders, or whether it is administered at all. The reply to this will form a leader trom the facts stated in the “ issue,” that may release the jes concerned from much respensibilty, and produce a further comment from CLERICUS HIBERNICUS. Not being sufficieatly acquainted with the eccle- siastical order in this case, we must request enlight- enment from the orthodox source. “ We pause for a reply.” Nisto’s —Tux New Minirary Oprra.—If the talented French Company were to be characterized by no other feature than the variety they produce they would still remain an example to other esta blishments, for industry and perseverance.

Madame Mathiéu plays one of her best parts. This is an excellent actress and musician, and we are delighted to see she will play so promingnt a character as the Baroness. Mons. Mathiéu, Des- sonville, and the company will appear. The epera has been guiten up under the direction of that able professor, Mons. Prevost, /e chef d’orchestra. Tue Inrivenza Everywnere —This epidemic seems to leave no section nor corner of the Jand un- scathed. Of 200 convicts in the penitentiary at Co- Jumbus, Ohio, 160 were in the hospital on the Ist instant, sick of the influenza. It has also made its appearance in Louisville. Mo paper was issued froin the office of the Daily Kentuckian on the 3d inst.,in consequence of the sickaess of the work- men. Jn Quebec it is extending with a rapidity scarcely credible. Whole families have been strick- en down by it at one fell swoop and without any premonitory symptoms. Tue Weatner.—Alter the genial rains of Mon- cay night, we had yesterday one of those days of scorching heat which live in the memory and are described to the juveniles for the wonderment of fature generations.

Smith and Anthon, has just been put into our hands. It has been published by the Harpers, and must meet a rapid and exten- sive sale. It appearsto us tobe a calmly and tem- perately written narrative, and we have been much Gratified with this discovery of its character. We trust that the whole discussion, now fairly com: meneed, wili be conducted with the same degree of charity aud forbearance. Our readers are already familiar with the oceur- rences which have elicited this pamphlet. We need not, then, enter onthem again. Dr. Smith gives a statement of his acquaintance with Mr. Carey, and the circumstances which led him to refuse to sanc- tion his ordination. Some corfespondence then took place between Dr. Smith and Bishop Onderdonk, resulting in the appointment, by the latter, of the committee of examination. The proceedings be- fore itare narrated at considerable length The Bishop, Drs. Berrian, MeVickar, Leabary, Anthon and Smith, and the Reverend Messrs. Haight, Hig- bee and Price, were the names of the clergy present. The following is the report of the examination, which we deem it important to give, in order to places the opinions of Mr Carey ina proper light:— ‘The Bishop then asked if any presbyter had questions to put, when Dr. Anthon proposed question 1 to Mr, Carey. Dra. M’Vickar, Seabury, and Mr. Haight object: ed to the question onthe ground of ita being merely “hypothetical in its character.” Mr. Carey his willingness to answer. ‘The answer was taken down in hserery | by Dr. Anthon, readto Mr. Carey, ‘and as sented to by him as correct. ‘The followin, the question proposed :— Q. 1. “Supposing entrance into the ministry of the Protestant Episcopal Church in this country were not open to you, would you, or would you not, have re- one such case, to the ministry of the Church of me A. “Possibly I might, a‘ter due deliberation, but think that I should more likely remain in our own communion, as [ have no special leaning towards the joining of theirs at present” Dr. Seabury having objected to this question being put, and having advised the examined not to answer, the right thus to advise was * questioned by us, as preventing our arriving at a knowledge of the sentiments actually held by Mr. Carey ; avd thus defeating the very object of the examination. The Bishop decided that the candidate might be advised by any one presbyter whom he might select, Dr. Smith then asked of the Bithop whether the examined was to be allowed the ben:fit of counsel. The Bishop did not recede trom his decision. Exception was taken to the decision, a8 sanctioning a mode wholly un- recedented; but the exception was not strongly pressed us. Dr Smith then proposed question 2 in the following words :— Q. Do you hold to, and receive the decrees of the Council of Trent 7” Hi newer Was, “Ido not deny that the decrees of the Mr. Carey had proceeded thus far in his res when, atthe request of Drs. Seabury, Berrian, M’Vickar, and Mr. Haight, he declined repeating the words next in order, as Dr. Anthon desired, so as to allow him time to take down the full answer : the advice being grouuded upon the loss of time it would occasion to take down, in this manner, all the answers. Dr. Smith here observed, “Brethren, are we runnin; race against time? Are we not rather assembled to charge a solemn duty to the Church, and not to consult our personal convenience? Qught we not to be willing, if necessary, to remain here till 12 o’clock to-night, and to assemble again to-morrow, and remain the entire day, if needful, so as to come t: just conclusion ?” Mr. Carey finally expressed hia willingness to repeat his answer to the question, which he did in the following words, which were taken down by Dr. Anthon, ae “I do not'@vay them—I would not positively affirm them.” ‘The examination procecded, on our part, to question 3. Q 3. “Do you, or do you no!, deem the differences be. tween the Protestant Episcopal Church and the Church of Rome to be such as embrace points of faith ?” To this Mr. Carey was understood to reply “If these differences be understood to be matters of doctrine, they would embrace points of faith ; but if, as is believed, they are matters of opi: , they would not ” Q.4. “Do you,or do you not, believe the doctrine of transubstantiation to be repugnant to Scripture, suBver- sive of the nature of a sacrament, and giving occasion to superstition 7” “Tf you do not, how can you ex animo subscribe the 28th Article of our Standards ?” Mr. Carey prefaced his answer to this question by read- iug an extract trom“ Taylor's Holy Living and Dying,” as expressive of his own views, which extract could not by us be taken down ; and then more briefly gave his an- swerin the following words, recorded by Dr. Anthon, and acceded to by Mr. Carey. A. * Il would answer, in general language, that I do not hold that doctrine of transubstantiation which I sup- pose our Article condemns ; but that, at the same time, conceive myself at liberty to confess ignorance on th mode of the Presence.” Q.5. “ Do you, ordo younot, regard the denial of the cup to the Taity an unwarrantable change in a sacrament of Christ's own institution, or as to be regarded as a mere maiter of discipline ?” A taken down by Dr. Smith. “I censider it an un- warrantable act of discipline ;” Mr. Carey subsequently ‘ubstitute the word vere” instead of Q.6. “On which Church do you beheve the sin of schism rests in consequence of the English Reformation ? the Church cf England, and, by consequence, the Pro. testant Episcopal Church of this country, or upon the Church of Rome ?” Dr. Seabury objected to this question being put, on the ound that it was ac historical question. Mr Carey, un- jer advisement, answered, “ It is an his 1 question.” Dr. Smith here appealed to the Bishop againat this eva- tion,on the grounds that this was the inal examination to test the meetness of the candidate for Deacon’s Orders, and thet this final examination em- braced, according to the canon, among other points, Church History, Ecclesiastical Polity, the Book of Som: mon Prayer, and the Constitution ‘ond Canons of the Church, and of the diocese for which he is ordained ; the examination on the Ritual, the Articles, and the Canons ily referring to the historical ques- tions on their formation, changes, kc. ‘The Bishop having decided that the question ought to be answered, Mr. Carey, in substance, replied,“ that in some respects schism restson both sider.” “He consid- ered both churches in communion with the Church of Christ. Q 7. “Is the Romish doctrine of Purgatory in any re: spests maintained by our Standards ” The Bishop here esked Dr. Anthon what view he en- tertained onthe doctrine of Purgatory, as held by the Church of Rome ; to which Dr. Anthon replied, “ that, with due respect to the chair, he was not under exami- nation.” The question being then addressed to Mr. Carey, he was understood to say, in reply,“ that he con- sidered our Standards as condemning the doctrine popu- larly held to be the Roman doctrine” Q 8. “Is there nny countenance given in the doctrinal Standards of our Church for the idea that the deparied can be benefited by the prayers of the faith{ul, or by the administration of the Holy Communion? And is not that idea condemned by Article 31 of ourChurch ” As far as Mr. Carey’s answer could be ascertained, it ots thi pposed that idea was not 3 his opinion being, that the lan. popular language, pointed at a pular opinion which was held against the Church of ni * Q.9. “Do you, or do you not, fault the Church of Rome in pronouncing, as she does, the Buoks Apocry, oly Scripture 7” A—"I do not, eitherto myself or any on: to prove a doctrine out of th tpt 7T oly Spirit may heve spoken by the Apochrypha, and the ho- mily asserts the samething.” The qu ‘was here re- newed, and pressed in several different shapes by the Bishop. The answer elicited by his last question was to the following effect —“I would not fanit the Church of Rome for reading t) Lapel tad for proof of doctrine.” Q 10, by Dr. Smith—Can there bea douht that, in se- parating from the Church of Rome, the Charon of Eng: jand embraced more pure and scriptural views of doe: trine ? And is not the Protestant Episcopul Church in this country, at present, more pure in doctrine than the Church of Rome ? A—‘Therecan be a doubt,on the gromnd that the Church of England retained doctrinsl errors, viz, the doctrines of Puritanism. Jn some other points, the Roman missal was preferable to our liturgy.” Upen the qnestion put by the Leeeig what those points were 7” Mr. Carey was understood by us to instance, among other points, “the closer conformity to the ancient liturgies.” Ho held that, ina popular view, our liturgy was better than theirs in ‘omitting metaphysical distinctions, and also in being in a tongue understood by the people. 7 Q.11—What construction do you put upon the promise of confermity to the doctrines, discipline, and worship of the Protestant Episcopal Church ? A—He did not consider, (as we understood Mr. Carey to say) the articles as binding our consciences in points of faith, and read a passuge from “ Whites Memoirs of the Church” (Convention of 1801), which he considered as maintaining the same opinion. “ He does not feel himself obliged to give his ex animo assent to the thirty nine articles, asthe assent is given in the English Church.” Previous to our putting to Mr. Carey our twelfth ques- tion, the following questions were put by us to him :— Q 1, Can you subscribe to the 22d article? A. I could subscribe to it, considering it as referring to the popular doctrine of the Romish Church. It was here dbjected to the candidate by Dr, Smith, that the change made in the article disproved the iden of its referring to the popular doctrine. As the article stood in the reign of Edward VI, it was styled “the doctrine of the achoolmen ;” but after its endorsement by te Coun: cil ot ‘Trent, it was styled the “ Romish doctrine.” Touching the doctrine of the invocation of saints, men: tioned in this article, the question was asked by Dr. Smith “ whether that doctrine had any warrant in Serip- ture.” He replied that “ ithad not.” The question was farther put by Dr. 8." whether it were right to introduce or observe the practice without any warranty from Serip- ture ,” to which it was replied “that it was not forbidden.” The examination was farther prosecuted by the bishop, when the candidate, in reyly to a question touching thi Jawiulness yer eee was understood to say that “ did not fault the Church of Rome, provided the invoca- tion was confined tothe ora pro nobis, or intercessory form.” derstand the last clauseof the 19th Q. 2. How do you w article, « As the Church of Hierusalom, &c., have erred, so alsothe Church of Rome hath erred, not (4 in their living and ner of ceremonies, but also in tersoffaith ? The answer was substantially this :—" 1 ne ang! article * historical Rey 1o the past, and not to the prevent state e Home> ‘The last section of the article he considered + directed against the abiding infallibility ot the Chureb. 0 Rome, a3 a particular branch ofthe Church universal “Do The question was then pressed in another form, vit* vie yon consider the Church of Rome nuw to be in erro matters of faith 7” Dr. Seabury here repeatedly objected to the candidate’i pon and he eccordingly Geclioad enswecing.. The estion, however, being pressed, e bisho; ing that it must be answered, the ‘final. reply’ was in tho eninge words taken down Ans. ‘It isa difficult oe Ido not know how to answer; but! refer to my answer on the other question, touching my epiuion of the decrees of the Cou cilof Trent.” 3. * Do vou, or ‘0 you not, recei ene eat of Piur iV. 7 ei hp meaptioles of jar as they are tions ef the decrees of the Councilof Trent, I receive them.” These da taken down by Dr, Anthon, eae Let us now eee what was the eflect of all this on the minds of the authors of the statement. It is thus described by them:— And here, may we be allowed a few remarks as to ths effect produced on our minds, as ministers of the Protest- ant Episcopal Church, by the examination as a whole — ‘That eftect was the confirmation, strong and sure, of our previous impressions as to his unsoundness ; and how could it be otherwise? He deemed the differences be. tween us and Rome such as embraced no points of faith— doubted whether the Church of Rome or the Anglican Church were the more pure—considered the Reformation from Rome unjustifi.ble, and followed by grievous end lamentable results, though not without others of an 0) itecharacter—faulted not the Church of Rome for read- he Apocrypha for proof of doctrine—did not consi- der that we were bound: to receive the thirty-nine arti- cles of our Church in any closs and rigid construction of the same—declared that he knew not how to answer the question, which had been repeatedly asked, whether he considered the Church of Rometo be now in error in matters of faith ?—was not prepared to pronounce the doc. trine of transubstantiation an absurd or impossible doc. trine ; and regardedit, as taugut within the last hundred Years, as possibly meaning no more than we mean by the doctrine of the real presence—did not object to the Ro. ish doctrine of purgatory, as defined by the Council of Trent. ‘Thus far for the negatives : now forthe afficmatives. He believed that the state of the soul, after death, was one in e which it could be benefitted by the prayers of ‘and the sacrifice of the altar—1 faithful the denial of the rey to the laity as a severe uct of discipline nay oat fied the invocation of saints—in one instance declared that he did not deny. but would not positivel: rm, the de. crees of the Council of Trent ; in another, that he receiv. ed the articles of the Creed of Pius IV. so far as they were repetitions of the decrees of that council! And what were the explanations already alluded to, the record of which was deemed by one presbyter so important, and which weighed, it seems, with our diocesan, and six of our brethren, against such a mass of evidence as that pre- sented in the examination, andheresummedup? To our - apprehension, they amounted virtually to nothing. In- lated passages from individual authorities were quoted, bearing of which was, in our view, questiovable, and which, even if pertinent, could never sustain the can: didate a st the standards of the Church ; nice, meta- physical, and cobweb distinctions—* distinctions with. out a difference”-—scholastic subtleties, in connexion with the advice of a subtle polemic—refusal, ander advisement to answer plain and legitimate questions ; and the answer: ing them, at last, with ingenious and most guarded re- serve! Could these have availed—ought they to have led, against the direct and overwhelming evidence in the case? Were wenot borne out, then, in protesting against the ordination of the ci 2 Fearlessly do we here appealto the memories and the hearts alike of theclergy and the laity, who knew the Church in other days—the palmy days of White and Hobart, and Ravens. Croft and Bowen—when the banner was lifted up,and un- der which we enlisted with all the ardor and energy of youth, and have since been ever found contending for the truth—the banner of evangelical truth—apostolic order whether such sentiments as those expressed by the can- didate were tolerated in, or even obtruded upon the Church ? In our souls do we believe that the distinct avowal of one of these “erroneous and strange doctrines,” of which so many were openly avowed by Mr. Carey, would then have closed against an applicant every ave- nue to the ministry. The ‘‘ Puseyite” controversy has now fairly com- menced here. Rejoinders must follow from the Bishop and the other clergy, who consented to Mr. Carey’s ordination. A protracted paper war wil] then take place. The discussion will get into the pulpit. The laity will become excited, and involv- ed in the battle, and the flame of theological digpu- tation willspreadtar and wide. The other churches will, as usual, cast oil not on the “ troubled waters,” but on the flames. Here the episcopal authority does not possess that absolute supremacy that it exercises in England, and consequently schism will much sooner produce its fruits of open disunion,and reorganization. And here, in all probability, the first decisive step will be taken towards the separa- tion of the “ Puseyites” and the old light party. In England, it is true, there are already some striking indications of an approach to thisseparation. Amongst them, we observe the following announce: ment of what is styled— “A plan for giving the Clergy of England and Wales an opportunity of expressing their conviction on the subject of the Reformation.” It is preposed to obtain by private application, one hun- dre‘ clerical signatures in the diocese of London, one hundred in the diocese of Chester. and fifty in each of the other dioceses, agreeing to expressin a temperately-wor- ded declaration our firm adherence to the principles of the reformation, as set forth in our articles, embodied in our formularies, and developed in the writings ef our re. formers, trom Cranmer to Hooker, and to renew a solemn test against the errors of Rome and all that tends to jead men’s minds back to the doctrines adjired by the re- formers. When these 1,300 signatures shall be obtained, it is proposed that several clergymen, one from each dio cere, if possible, shall mect to draw up thedeclaration, which will not vary in substance from the above,to have it printed and sent with the weight of its 1,300 signatures toall other clergymen i» the kingdom, inviting their sig- natures, and by the rest, as we hope, giving courage and confidencé to the friends ofthe Church as she is. We will be much mistaken if wedo not find before long, a much more decisive, and mote openly avow- ed determination on the part of one or other of the antagonist parties here, to dissolve their ecclesiasti- eal connexion. Let us wait and see. We gave, on Monday, a synopsis of the leading doctrines of the Puseyites, compiled from the Lon- don Spectator, and other authentic sources. We have been furnished with a large and valuable package of articles and documents bearing on the controversy, of which we will make appropriate use as occasion may require. The “squash” who presides over the destinies of Henry Clay and Charles Fourier, is, we perceive, too busy in receiv- ing the monies and ordering the aflairs of the “yl- vania Association, to attend to this important reli- gious movement. Several of the other papers are also unwilling at present to enter on this subject. We shall, however, as always, give the earliest and most authentic intelligence in the course of this ex- citing controversy. To morrow we shall follow it up by some interesting and important details. Important Apvice To THR Lavies,—We have re- ceived a very important communication, dedicated especially tothe ladies.

For my part, I cannot, without feeling emotions of admiration and delight, beyond the power of language to express, [ have travelled much, rowmed far and wide through the world, but nowhere have I seen so much grace and female beauty, as is to be seen promena- diog elagant Broadway and the unrivalied Battery—and Fag the beauty of the complexion Y avery littie care and attention lave with.
