in the Nottingham Review' for January 10 th , and in the * Sheffield Iris of January 14 th . Let every friend of his country keep in view the fact that the question of real Church Reform is not one between dissent and episcopacy , not between tithe payer and tithe receiver , nor between underpaid curate * and overpaid dignitaries , but between the nation and the perverters and
appropriators of the National Instruction Fund . It is not to be accomp lished by a different distribution of that fund amongst its present recipients , nor by a less exceptionable mode of realizing its amount , nor by altering the relative position of the tolerated sects . Is the present iniquitous misappropriation to continue ? or shall it cease with the lives
of those whose expectancy ought , in humanity , to be considered , and the community at length enter upon the possession of its right and the blessing of that universal instruction which has been so amply provided for , and so long withheld ?

The bare allusion to war for Poland was received on the ministerial side of the House of Commons with sarcasm , taunt ,
and scorn , long to be remembered . Yet if ever war was honourable in its cause , and likely to be good in its results , it would have been such a war as that . A war for Turkey , now , can only gratify those who are desirous of arresting entirely the progress of reform , and of bringing back a section of the Tories to power . Both results must follow ; but it the Whigs must have the Duke , let them purchase him at a less costly price . F .
