and Dr.Cumming offers £1)4, by way of reciprocity build a Protestant Church in Rome.\u2014 London Cor.Montreal Courier.Cuesicaz Conronations.\u2014Tere are two private bills introduced by Mr.Badgley, one to provide for the management of the temporalities of the Church of England, sad the other to reincorporate the Church Society.\u2018These bills are cresting considerable sensation.It is thought by many that some of the provisions contained in Lhem wre very objectionable.~The Church temporalitice bill, places sll the property of the Church et the sole disposal of the Bishop, as well such property as has been sequired by private subscription for loeal churches as that given to the whule cheteh au « body.The feature of these bills in which the pablic are more particularly entiled to interest themselves, is the conferring upon the Bishops of Q .ebee and Montreal tho power to hold res) property to an unlimited extent, thus indirectly repealing the lawe of mortmuin, The bills will probably be amended so us to limit the amuunt of real property holden by these reepective bishops lw that which prod an Ir of five tho pound; This is the amount which the R.C.Bishopacf Montreal, Bytown, and the Archbishop of Quebec are severally allowed to hold by Act 12th Victoria.Chapter 136.\u2018The Act, 8th Victoria, Cap.82, empowers the R.C.Bishope of Toronto and Kingston to hold property to en unlimited extent in every part of the Province.It is but right that avery church should be allowed to manage its internal affuirs in accordance with its own church polity.As no objections are urged by the laymen of the Church of England to the bills referred to, it in taken for granted that they are sceeptable to thom.If by the bills the influence of the laymen is restricted, or they are deprived of any privileges heretofore enjoyed by them it devolves upon them to com.pail \u2018There is no ocession for others to exert themselves to secure them, privileges which they do not consider privileges.It is a work of supereru- gation.Where the rights of the public are affected, we should be jenions of the concentration of power in ecclesiastical bodies of whatever name they may be.\u2014 Toronto Correspondence Sherbrooke Gazette.Anorusm EcougatarticaL ConPoRATION Bitt.\u2014We regret to observe that the Wesleyan Methodist Church hes applied to Parliament for un sct cotporating their five Missionary schemes, andor the title of ** the connex.ional Society of the Wesleyan Methodist Church.\u201d They ask power 10 hold property to an unlimited extent, nnd that the control of the Society shall be vested in Conference.\u2018This bill does not possess sll the odious features of that of the Mnntreul Bishop, for it leaves tho Church to regulate its wn matters; but it ja sufciently objectionable.It appears to us that all sought under its provisions in aready given to the Wesleyan Church under the genera) Religious Society act.unrestricted power of holding property is | its mos! ubjentionable feature, and & want of certainty in the mode of electing members of the corporation.\u2018The accumulation uf these acts is, really, oming au slarming evik We agree with the Journal $ Express: © know nul whether the great body of the Methodists \u201care cognizant of this movement and spprove of it, but we sre of opinion that thes incorporations of religious budies ere not in the true apostolic epiri taost assurediy should not be sought for by those who rely upon the volva.tery principle.\" \u2014 Gloe.Taxe Cane or Youn Marcass.\u2014The frequent occurrence of fires within the last few days has induced me to trouble you with what I cannot but reasonable cause of the disastrons confiagrations which have visited nd many large cities of this continent.À few dare before the fire (n Victoris street, I bought a few bunches of what are eslled Congreve Matches snd placed them on a shelf in my kitshen, one of which ascident.ally falling to the flour instantly ignited.Fortunately, being in the day time snd some one present, it was pui out ;

It has expended on this admirable enterprise more than fifty millions of francs; it has exposed and given the lite of a great number of its sons; no sacrifice has been spared to accomplish its object ; and now our army is recompensed by calumnies and as- sassinatiens.A document edited by some Roman patriots, and which is secretly circulated in the papal city, is intituled, The Romans to the Solders of the French Republic ac Rome.¢ The priests,\u201d say the authors of this liberal address, « seek, by their dark manœuvres, to oc- -casion a fresh effusion of blood, and to create, if possiole, an eternal abyss between us, By the aid of their agents, they excite quarrels, foment discord, provoke hostile acts, with the design of rendering us odious to each other, and of making it impossible for us ever to be united as brethren.\u201d Butno; Jet us guard well against giving this triumph to the priests; let us guard well against offering to our common enemies the spectacle of our rivalry !.Generous French, truth will end in triumph; the hour of our deliverance will sound, and it-is not far distant.Then you will feel that our cause is the same, and our most mortal adversary the priest!\u201d This article shows how much the democrats of Rome hate the clergy by whom they ate so cruelly oppressed, Let us wait the issue, in the hope that the friends of liberty will not give themselves up to brutal violences, which would dishonar their cause.The Italian nation seems to be ripening more and mote for its spiritual emancipation, and it will obtain it, Let us pass on to another subject, which presents a remarkable con- rast to the preceding.France has also made AN EXPEDITION INTO ENGLAND, but a peaceful and joyous one.Thousands of our citizens have been centemplating with enthusiasm your Fair of the World, and yet thou- ssods mere will follow them, in the course of the summer.Well! among the precious results of this grand Exhibition, one of the best for the French will be their acquisition of more correct and perfect aotions respecting Protestantism.Believe me, this is not a slight thing.Our countrymen generally koow not at all in what the Protestant faith, the Protestant family, Pretestant society, or Protestant life, consists.Our politicians even, our authors, our citizens of liberal professions, imagine that the refor- ation of Luther and Calvin had only the appearance of a religion, and that their disciples have fallen info indifference or scepticism.The source of these great errors is in the vain and lying declarations of the priests, By repeating in their sermons, their pamphlets, and their journals, that Protestants have no religious be* sf, the papist clergy have persuaded the majority of the French that it is so.You may frequently hear among us men, very enlightened on other matters, ask with à serious tone, * Have the Protestants faith in Jesus Christ 17 The visit to England will be an excellent means of disabusing these people, and already our most influential journals have published tré in which their correspondents render loud homage lo the religion of the English.These travellers have seen with astonishment, aningled with admiration, that the Christians of Great Britain collect annually in voluntary subscriptions, immense sums, in order to circulate the Scriptures in all the languages of the globe, to carry tbe Gospel to the heathen, to convert unbelievers, to give to children the principles of a good education, &c., &c.They bave contemplated with equal surprise the manner in which the Lord\u2019 day is observed in London, and the influence which religion exerts on the different
