it is a great satisfaction to learn , from all quarters , that a liberal spirit is nowpervading the comn . unity in general , that men begin to be more attached to the scriptures than to the factions raised upon them , and that the name of Christian begins to be more honourable than that of
Calvinisr , Lutheran , Methodist , Church of England , or any oiher denomination of party , which has too long torn in pieces the Christian Church . The pseudo-national society for the education of the poor in the principles of the established sect , has published another Address to the public , framed at a meeting , at which were present two archbishops , eleven bishops , four lords , five esquires , and six clergymen . The chief object is to shew its friends that the
• cheme is coming into action , that several schools are forming , and schoolmasters are wanted , who arc exhorted to become candidates , upon the following qualifications . c * No one will be treated with , who does not bring full and satisfactory testimonials , from the minister ,
churchwardens , and principal inhabitants of their respective parishes , that they are member' * of the sect established by law , " and profess its doctrines and principles ; that they have been in the habit cf attending their parish church , and are of irreproachable moral conduct .

that " the sums which , have been m * liberally subscribed by the original friends of the institution are uot likely to do much more than to establish and maintain those schools _ , which the society iiself has resolved to open in the metropolis . " A more general and
extended support is therefore called for , in which they say , *« the best interest * of the established religion and constitution of this country ^ are so deeply involved , " and they recommend to the parochial clergy in the metropolis and
its neighbourhood to exert themselves . We are not surprised , that the established religion and constitution are hooked together in this address ; but the cry will no longer dp . It might serve very well , when the members of the established
sect fcore a greater proportion to the population of the united kingdom , or when , speaking of England and Wales , they very much outnumbered those of a different persuasion . But that time is gone b y * The members of the established sect have more landed , but less monied and commercial , interest than those of the other sects : anc , if we were to weigh its
influence by the class to whom the gospel was first preached , this is very slight and rapidly diminishing . It is a matter of no consequence * o the constitution whether a singie man attends or not the meetings of the established sect . The only difference is that , if the secession should be general , and each sect provide for itself , the country would not be embarrassed by their rivalships .
