[" TER A WITNESS WEEKLY REVIEW AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER.MONTREAL, JANUARY 5, 1846, No, 1.SUEDE VS VOD THE RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT IN GLRMANY, ons Rosets Ti Hopy Coat oF Touves ann THE New GERMAN Catuolic Cucrei.New-York: Harper & Brothers.\u2018Fhe tise and progress of the German Catholic Chuteh is, without doubt, one of the most remarkable events of the nineteenth century.A year lias scarcely elapsed since the beginning of the movement that ted to its formation, and now it is said to number nearly three hundred congregations, The immediate cause of this great religious outbreak, it is well known, was a letter wiitten hy an obscure Priest, named Ronge, called forth by the exhibition ut Treves, of the pretended + seamless robe\u201d of Christy and the blasphemous superstitions with which it was attended.From the book under review, we have full details of the scenes enacted at Treves, hut before referring to them or Abe particulam of Renge\u2019s life, it may be interesting to notice same things that may serve to explain the unexampled progress of the movement, as well as to inspire hopes of its permanence.L.The Worn or Gop has been widely circulated in Germany, of late years; the last repost of the British and Foreign Bible Society, \u201c showing that since the Peacc of 1815, nearly Turex Mitttons of Bibles and Testaments, have been issued by that Society, and the various Bible Societies of Germany, besides what have been sold by booksellers.In the same report, it is stated, that the Bible Society of Buckwald, in Silesia, was publishing two large editions of the Hirsch- berg Bible, with short Evangelical comments, of which the King of i Prussia had taken nearly 16,000 copies, fo place one in each schoolin his dominions, sealed with the King\u2019s seal, and bearing an inscription, stating that it is the gift of lis Majesty to the school, and is to be used by the teacher, in expounding the Holy Scriptures to the children.The extensive circulation of the Scriptures in Germany, may therc- fore, we think, be considered as a prominent cause, under God, of the unexampled spread of the new secession from Rome, and together with the greatly increased demand for the Bible, consequent upon the movement, may give cheering hope that the good work will not only stand, hut make rapid progress.2.The Protestant church in Germany, has made great advances of late, in sound Theology ; and although Rationalism and Infidelity fearfully prevail, there are now many able and devoted ministers and professoss, who bear bold testimony to the Word of God and the Divinity of Christ.The Protestant church is therefore no longer so great a stumbling-block (o the sincere Romanist, struggling to free himeeif from Rume, but who preferred her unscriptural communion as it was, to entering a church where the doctrine of the Trinity was denied, and infidelity\u201d openly avowed.Dr.Leander Van Ess who continued to preach the Gespel faithfully, and had circulated à million and a half copies of the Scriptures, although in connection with the Church of, Rome, replied to a friend who asked him why he did not join the Protestant communion, ¢ Do you think ! would join a Church where the Divinity of Christ is denied.\u201d The same reason may have prevented the scparation of Bishop Sailer, Martin Boos, and other evangelical priests from the Romish Church.The views suggested by the report of the Bible Society, as to the share that the circulation of the Word of God, has had in producing the new reformation, are confirmed by the remarks of a Correspondent = TN \u201cTuts far the hints \u2018on the manner of teaching.1 have al.following heads.Not that îte importance is greater, \u2014it is nat - 80 great; but becadee you hear of the mutter aud thy motive in every sermon, on overy Subbath\u2014of the manner, never, pxcept- at such a special meeting as I have spoken mos, not op the greatest subject, but on the subjoct of which, in the ordinary Sabbuth ministration, you hear the deast.\u201d : To be continued.1 HISTORY OF TUE REFORMATION IN THE SIXTEENTII CENTURY, By Merce D\u2019Avaicne, D.D, The best introduction to à review of this remarkable work will probably be some account of the celebrated author, which we are happily enabled to give from a private source on which we can rely.Some of the following particulars huve, as far as we know, never before been published.Dr.Merle d\u2019Aubigne was born in Geneva, and educated for the ministry in connection with the national Church of that State.Ife | then travelled for some time as a private tutor through Germany, having much leibure to make historical and scientific researches, and forming many very valuable acquaintances.He afterwards settled in Brus.[set as a pastor, for a considerable time, and rose to be the first Protestant Minister of that city, having filled the office of President of the Consistory.When the rebound of the Parisian revolution of 1830 caused a somewhat similar outbreak in Brussels, in 1831, the hatred between Roman Catholic Belgium and Protestant Holland, which had long been simothered, burst forth into à flame, and Mr.Merle's position ip Brussels became so precarious, that he, with difficulty, effected lis escape from the city whilst fighting was actually going on in the streets, He natorally returned to his native land, and the Church in which he had been brought up, but here he found matters ripe for a disruption on à small, but if\u2019 we estimate the results, important scale.The Unitarian, or rather Socinian character of this Church gu nerally was, and is, the cause of deep mourning to the Christian world ; but at the time spoken of the Venerable Company of Pastors had gone further than at any previous period, by framing and enjoining to be taught to the | people.a Neoiogian Catechism.Two godly ministers, Messrs.Gaus- sen and Calland, refused to comply with this order, and took steps to establish a much needed School of Divinity, as well as to secure a place for evangelical preaching.In these movements they were joined by Mr.Merle, whom the revolution in Belgium bad providentially sent to their aid.For their independence, these witnesses for the truth of Christ were hrought before the Venerable Company of Pastors and severely reprimanded ; and though a retractation would lave secured their standing, they could not retract GGod\u2019s Word, and there fore justified what they had done with great force, ability, and firmness.\u2018They were of course ejected, and thus were formed the celebrated School of Divinity, at the head of which Dr.d\u2019Aubigne stands, and the Church, now called the Oratoire, which, for the last few years, have exercised so extensiv: an influence over Switzerland, France, and the world.In the winter of 1831 \u201932, we think, or at all events before the pub- fication of the first volume of his history, Mr.Merle delivered, to his I clase, a course of public lectures upon the Reformation, which were | also attended with interest by many ladies and gentlemen.In these Jectures it is probable that his great work originated.How much cause have we to admire the wisdom and goodness of God in drawing from two such evil things as a civil war and a Christ- {less catechism, results so great and glorious as a revival of evangelical | religion and a history like that before us.Truly He makes the wrath of man to praise him.During the writing of this history, Dr.Merle was severely afflicted \u2018both by frequent indispositions and by the loss of several children, to whom he was most tenderly attached ; and great as he has been rendered by his works in the eyes of the world, his most intimate friends say, that the true greainess and beauty of his character cannot be appreciated except by those who have seen him at the death-bed of his children.He has been sowing in tcars\u2014may he have a reaping time of joy.We trust it will not be considered as man worship (a thing always injurious to the party receiving itas well as to the party paying ity but rather the gratification of a lawful curiosity, if we subjoin 8 fac simile of the autograph of Yerds A Herds ype IX 4 The first paragraph of the following extract, near the beginning of the work, relates to the foundation of the Church of Rome\u2019s claim to universality, viz.the doctrine of the necessity of a visible unity in the church; but it is not to be supposed from it that the author either overlooks the doctrine of the essential unity of the true Church, Christ\u2019s mystical body, or the incalculable importance of an open and undeniable manifestation of that unity, which our Saviour himself says is to be the means of con vincing the world of his true character and mission, John xvii.21\u2014 23, but only that the nature of that unity and its visible manifestation should not be mistaken.It is not a union of councils, cannons, rites, ceremonies and formularies.It is a union of faith, love, hope, and self-denial, in a word, a unity of character, objects and efforts.It is not & union in a Pope or a Synod, but a union in Christ\u2014which can no mote exist out of Him, than man can exist without breath, snd which, whenever it is really manifested, cven by a single handful of disciples, begins to move the world.Witness the Apostles, the Reformers, the Moravians, and the modern Bible, Tract, and Missionary Societies.* As soon as the notion of a supposed necessity for a visible unity of the church had taken root, another error began to spread :\u2014namely, that it was needful that there should be some outward repreSentative of that unity.Though no trace of any primacy of St.Peter above the rest of the Apostles appears in the Gospels; although the idea of a primacy Is at variance with the mutual relations of the disciples us ¢ brethren,'\u2014and even with the spirit of the dispensation which requires all the children of the Father to minister one to another (1 Pet.iv.10), acknowledging but one Master and Hend ; and though the Lord Jesus had rebuked his disciples whenever their carnal hearte concelved desires of pre-eminence ;\u2014a Primacy of St.Peter lowed these to occupy more room than I can now afford*to the, . - fi - .v was invented, and supported by misinterpreted texts, and men \u2019 \"proceeded to acknowledge in that Apostley and in hjs prétended \u201csuccessor, the visible representagive of visible unity\u2014and head \u201cof the whole Church! .« The constitution o the exaltation of the Roman Papacy.A centuries, the churches of the metropolitan \u20ac had been held inf peculier honour, «'Fhe Council of Nice, its sixth canon, named especially\u2018threo cities, whose churches, according to it, held an sncicntly established wathority over those of the surrounding provinces.\u2018Fhese were Alexandria, Rome, and Antioch.\u2018The political origin of this distinction may be dis- cernéd in the nume which was at first given to the bishops of there cities; they wore called Exarchs, like tho.political governors.In Inter times they boro the more ecclesiasticul name of Patriurch.It is in the Council of Constantinople that we find this title first used.\u2018This same Council created a new Patriarchate, that of Constantinople itself, the new Rome, the second capital of the Empire.Rome at this period shared the rank of Patriarchate with these three churches.But when the invagion of Mahomet hud swept away the bishoprics of Alexandria and Antioch, when'the see of Constantinople fell away, and in Intter times even separated itself from the West, Rome alone remained,aud the circumstarices of the times causing everything to rally around her, she retained from that time without à rival: The author goes on to trace the grailuul'eneroachments and corrup- f the patriarchate contributed further to » carly as the first three tions of the Papal Power through the dark and most melancholy hist] torv of seven centutics, during which time it was alternately exalted and humbled, but always more or less subject to the temporal rulers around it, until, in the eleventh century, a favorable conjuncture presents itself for changing the position and character of the Papal authority: and a master spirit rises up in the person of Gregory VIL fo take advantage of that conjuncture.The concluding portion of the extract gives a portrait of this man.« Rome was one vast scene of debauchery, wherein the most powerful familics in Italy contended for pre-eminchce.The counts of Tuscany were generally victorious in these contests.In 1083, this family dared to place upon the pontifical throne, under the name of Benedict IXth, & young boy brought up in debauchery.This child of twelve years of age continued, when Pope, in the practice of the same scandalous vices.Another party elected in his stead Sylvester IL, and Benedict, with a conscience loaded with adulteries, and hands stained with homicide, at lust sold the Papacy to a Roman ecclesiastic.\u201cThe Emperors of Germany, roused to indignation by these enormitics, purged Rome with the sword, In 1047, & German bishop, Len IX.possessed himself of the pontifical throne.«The Empire, using its right as suzerain, raised up the triple crown from the mire, and preserved the degraded Pupacy by giving to it suitable chiefs.In 1046, Henry HI.deposed the three rival popes, and pointing with his finger, on which glittered the ring of the Roman patricians, designated the bishop to whom St.Peter\u2019s keys should be confided.Four Popes, all Germans, and chosen by the Emperor, succeeded.Whenever the Pontiff of Rome died, a deputation from its church repaired to the Imperial court, just as the envoys of other dioceses, to solicit the nomination ofa bishop to succeed him.The Emperors were not sorry to see the Popes reforming abuses\u2014 strengthening the influence of the church\u2014bolding councils\u2014 choosing and deposing prelates in spite of foreign princes, for in all this the Papacy, by its pretensions, did but exalt the power of the reigning Emperor, its suzerain Lord.But such excesses were full of peril to his authority.The power thus ually acquired might at any moment be directed against the Emperor himself, and the reptile having ined strength, might turn against the bosom that had warmed it\u2014and this result followed.\u2018The Papacy arose from its humiliation and soon trampled under foot the princes of the carth.To exalt the Papacy was to exalt the Church, to aggrandize religion, to ensure to the spirit the wictory over the flesh, and to God the conquest of the world.Such were its maxims ; in these, ambition found its advantage, and fanaticiem its excuse, ; oo \u201cThe whole of this new policy ia porsonified in one man, HiLbEBRAND.« Hildebrand, who has been by turns indiscreetly exalted or j traduced, is the personification of the Roman pontifi- anjuntly its strength and Flory, He is one of those characters in history, which include in themselves a new order of things, resembling in this respect Charlemagne, Luther, and Napoleon, in different spheres of action.« Leo IX.taok notice of this monk as he was going to Cluny, and carried him with him to Rome.From that time Hildebrand was the soul of the Papacy, till he himself became Pope.He had governed the Church under different Pontifls, before he himself reigned under the name of Gregory VII.One grand idea occupied his comprehensive mind.He desired to estab- fish à visible theorracy, of which the Pope as the vicar of| Christ, should be the head.The recollection of the ancient universal dominion of heathen Rome, haunted his imagination and animated his zeal.He wished to restore to Papal Rome what Rome had lost under the Emperors.\u2018 What Marius and Caesar, said his flatterers, ¢ could not effect by torrents of blood, you have accomplished by a word.\u201d ~*~ * .« His fiest task was to remodel the militia of the Church.It was needful to gain strength before attacking the Imperial authority.A council held at Rome, removed the pastors from their families, and obliged them to devote themsolves undivid- edly to the hierarchy.The law of celibacy, devised and carried into operation by the Popes (who were themselves monks), changed the clergy into a monastic order.Gregory VIL claimed to exercise over the whole body of bishops and priests of Christendom, a power equal to that possessed by an abbot of Cluny over the order subjected to his rule.Hildebrand passed through the provinces, depriving of their lawful partners, and the Pope himself, i excited the populace against the married clergy.\u201cBut Gregory's great aim was to emancipate Romo from subjection to the Emperor.Never would he have dared to conceive 80 ambitious a design, if the discord which disturbed the minority of Henry IV., and the revolt of the German princes from that youl Fimporors had not favoured his project.The Pope was at this time one of the magnates of the empire.Making common cause with some of the greatest of its vassals, he strengthened himeelf in the aristocratic interest, and then proceeded to rohibit all ecclesiastics from receiving investiture from the Emperor, under pain of excommunication.The legates of the pastors necessary, f|ucat, a: * the several pastors and their churches with the royal authorgy, but it was that he might bind them to the pontifical thrône.He undertook to roslrain by a powerful hand, priests, princes, and poople ;

and swcetments were sent for me, and the Makhram brought me in the king\u2019s name, the assurance of his Majesty\u2019s good-will towards me.The scene then became suddenly changed.Both the Turkomauns, Ameer, Sarog, and Kaher Kooli, diminished the distance between us.I was dressed in full canonicals, the entire distance from Mowr to Bokhara, being determined never to lose sight of my position as mullah, on which alone my safety depended, I soon perceived.I also kept the Bible open in my hand ; 1 felt my power was in the Book, and that its might would sustain me.The uncommon character of these proceedings attracted crowds from Shahr Islam to Bokhara, all which was favourable to me, since, if I was doomed to death, it would be widely known, and the consequences might be even serious to the Ameer himself, of interfering with a sacred character, armed with the Book of} Mousa, and David, and Jesus; protected by the word of the Khaleeta of Mowr, supported by the Sultan, the Shah of Persia, the Russian Ambassador, the Assaft ood-Dowla, both by word and letters, and the popular principle among the Mussulmans, as testified on my route, in shouts of* Selaam aleikoom,\u2019 \u2018 Peace be with you.\u201d \u201cThe Turkomauns, my guides, were, in the strictest sense of the word, masterless, for their Aga Sakals, \u2018 Lords with the Beard,\u2019 have only a right to give advice, and to conduct them on their plundering expeditions, but they have no power to punish.\u2014( Vol.i.p.209.) \u201cThe people crowded in masses on me, demanding, * What book bave you in your hand ?\u2019 I replied, ¢ The Zuiwrat-e-Moosa (Laws of and the Anjeel-e-Æsau (Gospel of Christ), and the prophecies of Daniel, Isaiah, Ezckiel, Jeremiah, &c.\u2019 Devoutly did those poor unenlightened souls touch the Book.At the entrance of] the palace gate we were ordered to dismount from our horses.Only the Grandees of the empire, and the Ambassadors of the Sultan of Constantinople, of the Shah of Persia, should they come to Bokhara, are permitted to enter the palace gates on horseback, No Christian, Heathen, or any other ambassador is allowed that privilege.Singular to say, however, | was allowed this privilege at my audience of leave, prior to my departure from Bokhara.\u201c Previous to our entrance, one of his Majesty\u2019s Makhrams appeared before me, and said ¢ His Majesty condesconds to ask whether you would be ready to submit to the mode of Selaam,\u2019 (for Stoddart Saib refused, and drew his sword.) I asked, * In what does the Sclaam consist I He replied, * You are placed before his Majesty, who will sit upon the Bala Hanah, (from whence Balkan is derived), and the Seekawl (Minister of Foreign Affairs) will take hold of your shoulders, and you must stroke your beard three times, and three times bow, saying, at each time, ¢ Allah Akbar, Allah Akbar, Allah Akbar,\u2014* God is the groatest, God is the greatest §God is the greatest.\u2019 Sal.aamat Padishah,'\u2014* Peace to the king.\u201d On being asked if I would do so three times, I said, * Thirty times, if necessary.\u2019 Entering the gate, we were desired to sit down upon & stone after à few minutes\u2019 delay, were ordered to send up our letters, « After the letters were sent.up, we were brought before the king, Dil Assa Khan, and mysell.His Majesty was seated in the balcon of his palace lo down us; thousands of] people in the distance.All eyes were bent on me, to see if I would submit to the etiquette.When the Shekawl took hold of my shoulders, I not only submitted to his doing sa to me three times, but I bowed repeatedly, and exclaimed unceasingly, ¢ Peace to the king,\u2019 until his Majesty burst into a fit of! laughter, and, of course, all the rest stan round us.His Majesty suid, * Enough.enough, enough,\u2019 e were then ur- dered to retire.The Shekawl, an officer who answers to our Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, then assured me that his oses), the Suboor-e-Dawood (Psalms of David) |p.A .;

und so are many others of the Jews at present in Bokbara, Jews came to me here from Samarcand, Khokand, and other places.The total population was then about 13,600.I found the epileptic convulsion, which produced such an effect for Muhammed among a people who call * gasping\u2019 inspiration, currently handed down ; r have little doubt that, like madness and idiotcy, they were no mean agents of his power among a people that look on the victims to these maladies as the inspired of God.The tradition is an old one ut Bokhara, that some of the ten tribes are im China.I tried the Jews here on various points of Scriptural interpretation, particularly that important one in Ipaiah vii.14, mop (virgin).They translated it as we, Christians, do, and they are in total ignorance of the important controversy between Jews and Christians on that point\u2014(Vol.i.p.14} \u201c Here | may as well notice the Jews of Yemen generally.While at Sanaa, Mose Joseph Alkaree, the Chief Rabbi of the Jews, called on me.He is an amiable and sensible man.The Jews of Yemen adhere uniquely to the ancient interpreta tion of Scripture ju the passage, Isaiah vii, 14, * À virgin shall conceive, and they give to the my, the same interpretation, virgin, that the Christians do, without knowing the history of Jesus.Rabbi Alkarce asserted, that in Isaiab liii.the suffering of the Messiah is described as anterior to bis reign in glory.He informed me that the Jews of Yemen never returned to Jerusalem after the Babylonish captivity: and that when Ezra wrote a letter to the princes of the captivity at Tanaae, a day\u2019s journcy from Sanaa, inviting them to return, they replied, * Daniel predicts the murder of the \u2018Messiah, and another destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple, and therefore we will not go up until He shall have scattered the power of the holy people, until the thousand two hundred ninety days are over.\u2019 I demanced, \u2018 Do you consider these days to be literal days?The Akares ropliod, \u2018No, but wa do expect the coming of the Messiah from the commotions now going on at Yemen, We think he begins to come from Teman, ie, Yemen, for you see the tents of Cushan are now in affliction, and the curtains of Midian tremble, There is now war in the wilderness unprecedented in our memory.There are twelve gates at Sanaa, as soon as one of them, the Bab Alstraan, which is always kept closed, is opened, we expect Him.Re- chab and Hamdan are before it.\u201d [I then expounded Isaiah liii., and read him the holy history of Jesus.He said, ¢ Your exposition is in better agreement with the ancient interpreta tion ; I approve it much more than that of our nation, which ascribes the e to Josiah.\u201d This kind Jew assisted me in the distribution of Testaments among his people.Sanaa contains fifleen thousand Jews.In Yemen they amount to twenty thousand.throughout the world amounts to ten millions.1 baptized here sixteen Jews, and left them all New Testaments.\u201d\u2014( Vol.iy.605.The following statement shows the degraded condition of the Jews in Bokhara, where they have long been subjected to cruel oppressions:\u2014 «The Jews of Bokhara have taken courage, and call on me.The name of Sir Moses Montefiore, and tbe rumour of his ex- ertiona for the benefit of the Jewish nation, have reached their ears, and those of their brethren in Samarcand, Balkh, Khok- and, and Heraut; and Sir Moses Montefiore will be surprised to learn, that his exertions in behalf of the Jews have drawn the attention of the Jews in those distant regions to the doctrines of Christianity ; for many Jews, when at Bokhara, observed to me that the religion of the Gentiles in England must absolutely be better than that of Muhammed, as the proceed of Sir Moses Montefiore, in behalf of the Jews, are not tolerated, but also countenanced, supported, recommended, nd eulogized.And about Rothschild they say, that in & country where one can so openly make a display of one's property, the religion of that nation must be better.\u201d\u2014(Vol, ii., page 28.)

because à war with Britain \u2018would be most dangerous to their cherished ¢ domestic institution\u201d slavery ; and, because, even if successful, it would only raise up eventually a preponderating influence of Free States.TmiroLY.\u2014 If war take place, it will be by the consent of the Christian people of the Free States.This conclusion is evident from the fact which we presume will not be disputed, that the leaven of Chris- tisnity is sufficiently diffused in these states to control public opinion.That is to say, if oll the Christians were to throw all their weight into the scale of peace, the residuum of public sentiment would be so small and inefficient, that it would never dream of embarking in & contest #0 momentous.Founrniv.\u2014If you choose wor, you will have no excuse for it in Your ons eyes, in the eyes of the world, or in (Ae eyes of God.Yom must confess that the whole Territory in dispute is not intrinsically worth » thousandth part of the treasures, sufferings, and blood, which other modes of submitting the question to arbitration, than that of bad, we trust our readers, both Protestant and Roman Catholic, will THE MONTREAL WITNESS, calling in the Monarchs of Furope.FirmuLy.If war be your deliberate choice, it will, by retributive justice, be waged on gour own soil.You cennot transfer it to Britain, nor even in any considerable degree to Canada, though you may sorely injure the people of this province, who have, properly speaking, nothing to do with the quarrel al all.Whatever the issue might he, therefore, the chief damage would acerue to yourselves.The biackening and blighting train of profanity, intemperance, lficentiousness, malice, and revenge, which are engendered by war, would long curse both nations, but the United States being the theatre of the bloody drama, would ungtiestionably be in all these respects the chief sufferers, We do not enter upon the validity of your claims toa part, or the whale of the Oregon Territory.They may be as good as Chose of any ation, of they may be better, thougi jou nace certainly neither given value for it nor pre-oceupied it; but having once censented to à juint eccuganry, you cannot without high teavou against the Prince of Peace, prefer the bloody to the peaceful mode of aljusting the contlic- ting claims of the joint-occupants, We repeal it again emphatically, and you must admit the truth of the position, that the nation which offers the olive branch of arbitration, exonerates itself, to a great extent, froin all the fearful consequences of war, while the nation which refuses that peacetul and honorable alternative, tikes the unutterable burden of guilt upon itself, That mation virtually says, let ail this blood of slain bodies and of ruined souls, be on us and on onr children,\u201d But would the war be successful on your part?would the poor po ze be attained for which these incalenlable evils were ineurred?We furebear showing you that you are unprepared for war, while Britain is armed at all points.We think it to your credit that you are unprepared, and at all events this consideration should make no difference, if the war were just and necessary of itself, hut to enzage in war unnecessarily, and unprepared hesides, is surely the extieme of judicial blindness, We do not urge upon you that therz is hanging upon your western frontier a dark cloud of Indian Frihes, goaded by frequent wronzs and removals almost to madness, and probably thirsting after revenge, That the Mexicans trained to rajine and blood, Travelled for ssured that rehrf was ut band, and 1 office and his country to return ta the Synagogue of bis ances promises given to the fathers, to the portions of revealed truth, | -\u2014 A UE of us roots, nd akingg, we might still have inhabited) superior intelligence gave himover me, He only endeavoured vel the Rot vith : but one of the {to render me more of an Israclite thun is consistent with the of the enlleginte church wisdom of the present age.He spoke to mo of the Old Tes.} is doubts on .= not dgapponted.*\u2014Panx's l'uavets) torse ;

but clover ix rather too coarse-rooted and exhausting for a young orchard.When this, or grass, 18 necessarily grown among young trees for a year or two, a circle of] three feet diameter should be kept loose by digging every season about the stem of each tree, The bearing year of the Apple, in common culture, only lakes place every alternate year, owing to the excessive crops which it usually produces, by which they exhaust most of the veguoizable 1 ster laid up by the tree, which then requires another season to recover, and collect a sufficient supply again to form fruit buds.When half the fruit is thinned out in a young state, leaving only a moderate crop, the apple, like other fruit trees, will bear every year, as it will also, il\u2019 the soil is kept in high condition.The bearing year of an apple tree, or a whole orchard, may be changed hy picking off the fruit when the trees first show good cropu, allowing it to remain only on the alternate seasons which we wish to make the bearing year.One of the finest orchards in America is that of Pelham farm, at Esopus, on the Hudson.It is no less remarkable fur the beauty and high flavour of its fruit, than the constant productiveness of trees.The proprictor, R.L.Pell, Esy., has kindly furnished ns with seme nutes of his experiments on (ruit trees, and we subjoin the following highly interesting onc on the Apple :\u2014 «For several years past | have been experimenting on the apple, having an archanl of 2,000 bearing Newtown Pippin trees I found it very unprofitable to wait for what is termed the ¢ bearing year,\u2019 and it has been my aim to assist nature, so as to enable the trees to bear every year.I have noticed that from the excessive productiveness of this tree, it requires the intermediate year to recover itself\u2014to extract from the earth and the atmosphere the materials to enable it to produce sgain.This it is not able to do, unassisted by art, while it in loaded with fruit, and the intervening year is lost ; if, however, the tree is supplied with proper food it will bear every year ; at least such has been the result of my experiments.Three years ago, in April, [ scraped all the rough bark from the stems of several thousand trees in my orchards, and washed all the trunks and limbs within reach with soft soûp ; trimmed out all the branches that crossed each other, early in June, and painted the wounded part with white lead, to exclude moisture and prevent decay.I then, in the latter part of the same month, alit the bark by running a sharp pointed knife from the ground to the first set of limbe, which prevents the tree from becoming bark hound, and gives the young wood an opportunity of] expanding.In July I placed one peck of oyster shell lime under each tree, and left it piled about the trunk until November, during which time the drought wes excessive, In November the lime was dug in thoroughly.following year I collected from these trees 1700 barrels of fruit, part of which was sold in New York for four, and others in London for nine dollars per barrel.In October I manured these trees with stable manure in which the ammonia had been fixed, and covered this immediately with earth The succeeding autumn they were literally bending to the ground with the finest fruit I ever saw, while the other trees in my orchard not 80 treated are quite barren, the last season having been their bearing year.I am now placing round each tree one peck of charconl dust, and propose in the spring to cover it from the com- post heap.My soil in a strong, deep, sandy loam, on a gravelly subsoil, I cultivate my orchard grounds as if there were no trees on them, and raise grain of every kind except rye, which grain is so very injurious that I believe three successive crope of it would destroy any orchard younger than twenty years.I raised last year in an orchard containing twenty acres, trees 18 years old, a crop of Indian corn which averaged 140 bushels of cars to the acre.\u201d To be continued.SCRIPTURE ILLUSTRATION.the subsoil is of 4 hea.and n y expedient: but at all events to slay himg even if by subtitly and out of the slaves, and + improves?the circumatan doubt, that any can himself, would décide that the « their capue THE MONTREAL WITNESS.\u2014 mener which it was lawlul fu kate an offending brother, thuugh he might be at fisst forgiven Apalatizing or heretical Israchtes it was lawful (otiows to slay, openly, if opportunity served, and legally if « And in exact confo.mity with this principle the rubbinieal writers hesitate not to avow\u2014ulmest with boasting\u2014 that by such subtilly and craft Christ himself was slain thos affording an unintestional corro- buration of the truth of the evangelical narratives of his condemnation, Aad then, as to the Gent even those with whom they had no war or contention, they said © icre was no instruction to plot their death, but it was not lawful to deliver them from death, Witness the fol= lowing, i by Lighttoot frome the Babylon \u2018Calm =o A Sow sees Ë thence ;

but, if the process be alluwed to go farther on, fermentation will nat stop when the sugar is decoriposed : it continues to act upon the alcohol, and gradually converts it imo acetic acid, or vinegar, and lactic acid.Bread thus produced is very po- Tous, or full of eyes, but it has also a sour, disagreeable taste, ugh that has heen allowed fully to ferment in this way is called leaven, and was anciently used in small quantities to mix with common dough, in onder to accelerate its fermentation ; but yeast, or barm, procured by the fermentation of beer, is now commonly substituted for this purpose.A kind of leaven, made hy mixing potatoes, salt, and common flour with a small portion of yeast, is also very much used in the process of baking.But all these jrocesses of fermentation, though they form a ight and porons bread, vet consume one of the valuable ingredients of the flour, that is, the saccharine watter.A method has [ately been adopted by which this sugar may be retained, and yet the bread be made sutficiently light and porous.It consists in adding the two ingredients of common salt in their separate forms to the flour and water of the dongh, and, by their chemical action, carbonic acid is freely evolved, and thus the dough is rendered porous.The ingredients are common spirit of salt (hydrochloric acid) diluted with water, and common carbonate of soda.These, used in their proper quantities, unite and form common salt, and in such proportion as to give the necessary saîtness to the bread.\u2014Hogg's Weekly Instructor.[lis a common mistake to suppose that alcohol is found in bread, the small portion of that volatile substance which is evolved, is \u2018wholly driven off by the heat applied in the process of baking.\u2014En.] Commrrek, The Bonn or INTERNATIONA:, AMiTY.\u2014Mankind may be knitted together for a time, in various countries, by sympathies excited by accidental circumstances, but there can be no common bond of union between nations but one founded upon a feeling of common interest.Make foreign nations dependent on you for some of their comforts and their conveniences, encourage them in the prosecution of| their industry by becoming their customers, give to them the products of your own in exchange advantageous to both parties, and you raise up mutual feelings of affection and of sympathy, which will go farther than anything else to prevent that which in my mind has been, and is, the greatest curse that has afflicted mankind\u2014wat.~Lord Syden- am.Natunat Purnomexon\u2014In the Duke of Hamilton\u2019 colliery, at Wallacetown, near Falkirk, a living flog was lately found embedded in a small piece of coal, about 3 inches long and 2) broad, at a depth of 42 fathoms from the surface, and 300 yards from the bottom of the shaft, It was seen by seven men when taken out of the coal.It does not appear to have any mouth, but seemed, by the motion of the throat, to be breathing rapidly.It is small in size, its limbs appear to be longer than usual, \u2018and are of peculiar conformation ;
