been ^ Bo relrctlesB , thai , had the command been couchod under the terms port or sherry , the same Persian , pagan unalterableuesa oould only have been displayed . to This dogmatie and unchri » tiaB display of attachment to the alcohol in the wine , demands , therefore , u a reason why they do these things . " There « no man , whether minister or layman , who can shew cause for their use of alcohol In the wine , in celebrating the most precious—the richest—the dearest—the most holy ordinance that our blessed and divine Lord left for the observance of his followers m everv succeeding age . "Wi th the adrocake of alcohol in the wino , rests the onus probaadl . " As teetotallers , ii is our duty to " shew * reason for the hope ' that is lnusfaau we appeal to every rightly constituted mind , whether we ought tamely to submit to a systematic oppression of our minds , and persecution of our bodies .
"The principle of toleration , even by those who loudly advocate it , is little understood , and less practised . Despotism in civil affairs is intolerable ; put , when extended to a man ' s oonscieiice , it U superlatively hateful , ltoriginatesinoneplacejandhowever ungracious may be ita exposure to those who love to cherish it , yet still it smells aoid partakes little of the claracter of Him who came neither to break the bioised reed , nor quench the smoking nax . Genuine Christianity teache 3 us to expose error , whether in the child or the grey headed eiantr . The jmtiqaity of a custom ia-uo proof of its rreeUom from error ; but to which , however , we reverentl bend , when founded upon truth . Let us examine , then , the question relative to the use of intoxicating , brandkd port , in the Holy Sacrament ,
I he foundation of the present use of intoxicating wine is grounded upon the supposition , tbat it is such as onr Lord used . This will be admitted by alL upon this , the pertinacity displayed , in the nse of alcoholic wine , deycuds . The custom is , ' " Tin win « , and noihiog but ( he wine . " If not , then one kind of wine , supposing both innoxiou ? , is as good as another kind ; and , hence , to tho unferavsnted wine , there can be no objection . Whilst , therefore , we leave to the advocates of the alcohol in the wine the support of their usa ^ e , we shall endeavour to shew tea ; the unfermented ju ' ce of the arape is the onl ? wine which should be used in the Eucharist . " From this positive evideace will be deduced the inference , that the use of alcoholic vraws in the Sacrament is uascriptural ; aud , therefore , Eioful , because aa invasion oa the plan of the Redeemer .
In conclusioD , we sJiall advert to the nagaiire evidence to shew wjiy alcohol m the wine never could entw into tbat scheme of divine benevolence and m « rcy , which our holy Lori God laid down for tne comfort , cousola «» D , and bfessing of his children The pertiaacity with whiok men cling to the akohoiic wine , is a positive preol" that they deea tfee closest observance of even -Ae most minute pa r * < if the Sacraiceut of the mest essential importssoe ; otherwise , a change from ¦• . Icoholic wine to the unfermeuted juice « f the gtope , would be immediately and will'Jigly Bade " As Dr .

The . iniquities practised-iu the wine surpass those in tha brewing trade ; and that the reader may be convinced of the truth of thie assertion , we subjoin the following recipe for making port wine : — " Take of good cider four gallons , of the juice of red beet two quarts , brandy two quarts , logwood four ounces , rhatauy root , bruised , half a
pound ; first infuse the logwood and rhatany root in brandy , and a gallon of cider , for one week * 4 hen strain off ihe liquor , and mix the other ingredients ; keep it in a cask for a month , when it wflTbe fit for use . " Thus port wine can be manufactured without » single drop of the Juice of the grape . \ - ~ That Jsrine is manufactured , to an awful extent , ia proved -from tiie following : —' In tbe year 1812 * according to ) -he , Custom-house books of Oporto , 135 pipes and ' 20 hogsheads of wine , were shipped for Guernsey . ' - ' In the same year , there were landed , at ihe London docks alone , 2 , 54 $ pipes and 162 hogsheads of wine from that island , reputed to , be portv" ( Review of Discussions relating to the Oporto Wine Company page 26 . ) That is , eighteen times as much port wine was exported from Guernsey as was imported . "Again : Exports from Oporto to the Chauuel Ialanus , contrasted with the imports from the Channel Islands to London . —C . Rea&ing . .

w Thus , from the years 1829 to 1833 , were exported from the Channel Islands , 1605 pipes to London , but not one drop from Oporto to the Channel Islands ! One might be led to suppose , that the vineyards of Alto Douro , in Portugal , have been transplanted into tho Channel Isles !

Fib *—On'Friday , tne 11 th instant , about tkree o ' clock in the afternoon , a fire broke out on the premises of Mi . Ledger , Holrawood Common , in the parish « f Dorking , occasioned , as is supposed , by a spark from a chimney falling on an old gtrawthatched bwldiDg , whiob , from the dryneaaof tbe weather , the thatch caught fire , and burnt with EUcbrapH fcnr , that , had it not been for the prompt assistance , and wonderful activity of some working men , who ran from all pirte of th , e common to render « a& 3 i 9 ta » ee , th * whole of tbe premises opposite , coumtW&pt * ooUage , Jedge , coach bouse , sibling , &p ., must have been consumed . The fire drew to the snot a ppitip ^ jof the middle ' elaes . " respecbablep , " who . boast eo much of the preservation of pifoperty , an . l assert that working men are too i ^ florant to b * a entrusted with any thing connected with it ; bnt not one of those worthy gentlemen offered a hand to
prevent the destruction of the fire , while the activity exhibited by the laboorcw ( those who wish to dosiioy property ) iu removing everything from the premises , pulling down fences , to provent the fire from communicating to tbe other buildings , bringing water as they did , in every ve « 8 « l thoy could meet with , to check the progress of the fire , was amazing . A . iS * he conclusion of the fire , a oiroum-itaRoe occurred , verifying tbe old proverb , that ' those who work the most fare the worat , " for as eoon as the fire had subsided , and the family a little collected , the servauts were sent eut with waitera filled with glasseaof wine . Oh , thinks I to myself , th ) 8 will somewhat refresh the men , too , who , apparently , were quite exhausted from aver exertion ; but behold , I soon found , to my surprise , that the wine
was not intended for those who did the work , bat for the well dressed respectables , " who attend « d out of curiosity , doing nothing . Upon seeing this distinction , I observecLto one of the servants , that it would be far more just to give a littie to refresh the w , orkiug men , who bad eo exerted themselves in * h « r endeavours to check the fire . " Oh , " said she , " 1 haye had do orders to give any to the labourers . " Avouaglady , standing by , one of the family as I understood , said , "They will have their orders presenUy ; they are to go to the beer-bouse , and have some beer . " ^ yine , of course , is too good for working people . 60 after a little delay they were sent off to a beer-shop , which is a little snort of a quarter of * mile from the house , where they were regaled with a piu . t of sour beer each man . —Correspondent .

Suddenly the men became ajfflioted , though perhaps not exactly after tbo flame iashion as th « ladies , and a very exciting , out at the same time yery comical scene enssed , to attempt io describe which would bo a hopeless task . It may be imagined , but certainly cannot be dedorAed . The cause of this derangement of the y ^ e < wol « was , however , soon apparent . The fiddler , who was sightless , feeling somethiag very sharp enter his cheek , dropped his instrument , and applied his hand with great force to his face , brineing to the earth on © of the monsters that had been a source < if annoyance . Suffice it to say , some of the wasps had escaped from confinement , and in revenge for tho punishment they had ehdurei , crept up the legs of the dancers , and inflicted their sting . As many as three and four wasps were found upon some of the females . —Derby Reporter .

STHE WESTMOi £ 1 £ fi . REVIEW . W * ia 5 » somewhat late in . « & » notice of this ^ scelle ^ p ^ dodical , bnt it his tjbeen unavoidably on aceannjt . of the mass of aaafcttr which we havchad relartwetto the aU-absorbsflggttostion of " the » tvemeiiL * Me are indeed e , hd to see tho geatral conoiiaU > r » tone and c-x&elkait-i « nse , as woil as ^ he deep thORgtit and strikittg Ufeat whioh pervades almost all ^ £ e articles in th is number . Tho chief object of ihe dabblers in pcridiiorJ literature seems usuallr to i > e the cherishing of antipathies and keep- ' ing alire of party feuds and cLjis hostilities , by pandering to ^ il the prejudices of the particula class . r from whem . they expec ; to gather tbe main parnt of their Eupvojt . But the writers ia this review take large and cojnjreben&ire views of the several
subjects they £ on& « er , and seem aasieus to mollify tho asperities and to rectify the miet ^ ts of society , aa to show men the necessity © f . universal forbearance anigooji-will to the establtsbntant of universal happiacss . This is a prateewA&hy object , ¦ and their m&uaer « f pursuing it entitles tiiem to tbe i thanks of all patriota . Tho first article is on the China Question ; ia which there is an erwieut deeire to do jugsiao to that « sgular but highl y cwUized and moral people . The disjoisitions on the early history , tbe UAfuage , literature , and mannero of the Chinese peoala are exceedingly interestiFg . On the score of Jauguage , j we bjtire always thought thai much , if uotall , of our j difPei ^ ftCe with the Ciiinese arose from the dissiai-I Iarity . of langnage being so great that we could not ' mutual ^ understand eaeb other . In this opinion we seem to bo borne out by tbe writer of this article . X bzBzys
