justment of the question ought , he says , to be by legislation , not by negotiation ? , in which the parties only misunderstand and quarrel with each other . Let the Legislature do the work of justice by leaving opinion free , and then fearlessly proceed ( as Catholic governments have
shewn there is no difficulty in doinjr , either with or without the papal consent ) to make such regulations as the civil relations of the country may require for restraining any acts which may be considered subversive of or injurious to the peace or good order of society . We suspect there would be very little of this sort to be done when the causes of
disaffectrou were removed ; but whatever becomes necessary , it is for Parliament to do , without shewing its own weakness , or insulting a religious commuuity , by making bargains beforehand which assume the existence of designs and principles disavowed by the parties .

The Scotch Assembly . At the late session of the General Assembly at Edinburgh Dr . Chalmers moved an Address to the Throne , expressive of the satisfaction of the Church of Scotland at the demolition of those relics of exploded absurdity , the Corporation and Test Acts . No one ventured ( we rejoice to say ) to oppose the principle of the motion , though it was
obviously not palatable to some , who nevertheless did not hazard an expression of their feelings . It was objected by Dr . Cook and others , that such an interference had a political character not called for by the immediate interests of the Scotch Church ; and a majority of 47 , in a very numerous body , came to a resolutiou expressive of their satisfaction at the repeal , but of their feeling that further interference on their part was
unnecessary . What will the Rev . Mr . Irving say to this degeneracy of his church , iu thus expressing its satisfaction at what he considers the overthrow of government and religion ?

only U . 18 « . 7 d—Owing to the indisfWi ~ sition of the Secretary , the Committee ' 9 report was read by the Rev . B . Mardon , The Committee assigned their reasons for having called the general meeting of the Subscribers and Friends ' to the Suciety in a place of worship rather than at a tavern : viz . that as Ladies , to whom the institution was under great obligations- could not attend at a tavern , and
the claims of business and the approach of more imposing anniversary meetings might prevent gentlemen , especially iti the middle of the day , from giving their attendance , it was thought reasonable that that sex by which most of the Tracts had been contributed aud put into circulation , should have an opportunity of attending , to hear what ihe Committee had done to second their benevolent inteutiona , and to learn what occasiou there was for
their continued exertion and that of all the friends of the Society . The attendance at the chapel , though not very numerous , was sufficient to justify the course the Committee had pursued , and to encourage the hope that there would be a much larger attendance at the next anniversary . The Committee had felt the propriety of keeping the
expenditure within the smallest possible limits ; but they had been compelled to reprint five numbers of the series during the year , and had the pleasure of announcing the publication of a new Tract , entitled The Widow Riley . More new Tracts would have been published had the Committee possessed more ample funds . The Widow RUey is an Irish
tale , and has been some time in circulation in Ireland . It had undergone some necessary alterations , but it was confidently anticipated that it would approve itself to the wishes of the Subscribers , as being well-suited to promote the objects of the Society . The Committee reported their hope that some of the Tracts will shortly be reprinted in the French lanr
guage , aud their intention of proposing an exchange of publications with a Tract Society in North America , whose objects are similar to those contemplated by the patrons of the Christian Tract Society . The grants made during the last year have not been numerous , but it was hoped that they had been such as to
promise the doing of much good to the individuals to whom they were made . The Rev . R . Aspland moved , that the Report be received , and printed , for distribution among the Subscribers . Mr . Bowring , in seconding the motion , observed , " that the Society needed only to be more generally known to insure it a
