ABSTRACT OF THE ¦ BEY . J . E . GILES'S SECOND LECTURE AGAINST SOCIALISM . bis
Subject .- " The moral jendendw of Socialism ¦^ J ^ GS . SSSTto * text from Ae 7 th T , , of M-Shew , " the IB , 17 , IS , 19 . and 2 Uih ± *! Se feKc ^ d bfclecturc ' b ? statins that he ju ^ heard thar , amon ^ t ihe tanon . report * that had Wn cirenlated r ^ aruiug bis lonner lecture , one of those reports was that be Lad not met flie doctrines of Socialism at all , Lot merely inferences -which he iad drawn from the system and wLich vr ^ iv , in point of fact , no part of the system . In answer to this report the Rev . Gentleman recapitulated at considerable lenetb . the various points obtained in his
jbrmer lecture , in or-ier to -show that he had met the ryslwn , and that he liad proved its absurdity . After lie had finished his recapitulation , he proceeded to Iis second lecture the subject of which is stated above . This lecture was divided into two parts , the fc-t of which instituted a comparison be tween the Standard of morality as taught iu the doctrines ol Socialism anu Christianity ; and the second compared the different means of the two systems for promoting morality . As this lecture was divided into two parts which were delivered on two separate evenings , we shall give separate abstracts of each
part , Fiest , —then , he \ ronld compare the tiro systems in reference to the duties of piety . . Under tUs division the Rev . Gentleman adverted Id the fall of man , his redemption by Jesus Christ , the manifestation of divinebenerolencein this preliaon lor man ' s redemption and the consequent fratitude "which man must feel , nnd the adoration "which he must pay to his creature lor this manifestation of love , This was calculated to lead to repentance fcfl ^ in , submission to ihe divine will , and to produce a complete reformation in th « feelings and oispcsati' « ns of men . Loth towards thvii creator and ¦ fiicir fcll «> w murtaLs . All this , however . Socialism denied ; it taught 3 nan that himself wjs the ouly object of bis care , ndtLns made it appear that tLe Deity was not "Worthy of a single thought .
Thn ? ,. then , comparing tbe two systems . together . 5 t was impassible , l : om i _ he lLorus uf S -ciuLsm , to f atht-r the iimis of piety ; anu "he , therefore , rrcommended vh ^ rn to renounce the system , inasmuch as it was incapable of j-roJuciug those ends which "ririue alone could produce .

man wnnld they do » s they do ? "Was man not superior to njiim . ils iu reason ? - Then what had they to do if they were not ashamed of asserting that all their rationality , aud philosophy , ami pretence to benevolence terminated in deliberately declaring . / hat man would be wise iu making himself abrate ? If the Socialist was not ashamed of this let him look Ht ihe difference between his condition and that of the brute belore . he recemmended a similarity ol conduct . Again , the Socialist asserted that he disapproved i > f excess , and that he intended to do awaj with iu He ( Mr . Giles ) would show them that this was but a vain pretence , something by which they were attempting to blind tbeir own eyes and the eyes of
their fellow creatures . Was there any one thing in which men were more disposed to excess than in tuis ? And let him ask whether excess was most likely to be promoted by the virtue that should subordinate reason to the appetite , or that pure union which would subordinate the appetite to reason ? The Socialist said that marriage had pod need much misery in the world j and to prove it he brought forward a number of instances , and dipped his pen in the deepest shades of exaggeration and misrepresentation . He knew jiot where the Socialist had been to gather his views of domestic life . If he had been gnilty of leading a life of discord with the object whom he ought to cherish , if instead of restraining his feelingB and temuer .
he had given loose to them , and then came up wjth the blubbering exengr of a schoolboy , and said " I cannot help it . " If he had dene this ; if he had gone and * qnandered his wages at the pnblichotue , instead of employing tkem for obtaining foimforts for his family ; ii he had dealt treacherousl y with the wife of his youth , and if he had not broken her heart , at least sor . red her temper ; if be . had come home and insulted the tears which she had wept over bis vices , by telling her that he was the creature of necessity and could not help his inconstancy , —if the Souiah ' stdid all this , then he ( ilr . G . ) didnotwondertbathehad adoptedthoseviews of doTUwt . c li ' e , which it appeared he had already a . Iopted . Bnt he would tell ihe Socialist that he was
acquainted with myriads of men and women who enjoyed together pertVct peace ; that he knew myriads ol husbands who lovel their wives , and wives who loved their husbands ; myriads who , it they did not attain to perlect felicity , bad at least the tranquillity ol virtue , and were passing on their pilgrimage to the happiness of * another and a better world . He would tell them that , though there were many instances of marriage being abu » ed—and he . did not ¦ leuy the al . u .-e of it—it had been done upon the principles of Socialism , and not upon tbe principle * of Cunstijmity . Whtre \ er murrinjLie hud been abused , and those con .-eqnenct ? i follows * , it had 'ieeu because men had followed their inclinations ustend of restraining them—because they had
practised the Social principle of indulgence , iustead ol the principle ot sell-denial , and self-government . It ; iji i b .-eii so iu every instance , because they hau leiu-ied 'bemselves into the supposition that they could notl . el p their crimes , ano wer « not responsible . But must we . lioin the abuse of a thing , do ivay w . ih the n > e of it ? Should he . because a thiel vas not holiest , allow him to ie . ist upon his goods : \ lf knew the Sociabst would answer ** Yes ; ~ ' but ihe world wonl-l not believe him . If not , then in was not , f'om the aljiise of marriage , to tear . i > under bu < om friends—hearts that had not ouly ei-ii united in love , but by ihe long-tried coubdence wiiich they bad in each other ' s principle * tnd Irieuish p .
But of all hideons absurdities , that wiiich he wns . iow about to broach was the most glaring anu nideous of any that he had overlooked at . The SociaLst told us that . w » * were to imitate the hrute , thnt no barm coul-1 come f om that ; that we . vere . 0 lollow nature . When the Socialist told u » bis , 1 e lo . d us too that his grand otiject was to pu » own _ prosntuti"Ji and to produce female chastity ind vi tue ! Was it possible that any man coulu come forward wiib two Mich . egregious ab > urdities , —me most egregious that ever were stamped upon be pages of a hoik . Was it by tellii . g wumaii that > be was 10 c « 'n » ult her owu iucliuntion , and that insiea 1 of omsulriug her sense of decency she should ie .-pise every thing like n s ^ -nse of shnine ? Was it
by leJhng her that sl . e was to be a common thiuj ., and cast from hand to hand ? Was it by telling . c-r timt ihe Llu > h which burns npon lu-r cheek .-t hen thus insiiited , was only the result of prejudice , —that her si . ame was her sin , instead of hc-r sin b .-mg her shame ? Was it when the Socialist told aer this thut he intended to increase her female graces and mode > ty and virtue ? Miserable mim ! * su > it hy com-erring the world into one vast brothel rilled with inen aud womcu lost and dead to every .-eiise of shjiine—men aud women , who , to the ¦ ii-eutiousne . » s of savages , are taught by Socialism to mdulge in tbe worst of obsceuity and to expose he naKedness of their persons ? Was it thus the Soci-. ilist was to regenerate tbe
¦* orlJ , aud -staiup ouce more upon man the image ot bis Creator ? Was it thus he was to pr-iuote tbe ^ eace and happiness of the human race ? Was it 0 " pr « -t « uc « - sliWe this—b y dogmas tiiat never existed . n his brain , until his heart and brain had both become int 'xicated by a spirit instilled from tbe ? team . » hell—was it by practices like this that he intended to induce us to allow him to try bis experiment upon ' he human race ? Was it upon pretexts like this hat he wras wishful to introduce the practice * of the Aw SJurul H ' urldf Let them try their experiment : it had been tried ; their lather , the de \ il , wbo .-e * orks they did , had tried it ; it had been tried in iodoiii and ( iomonab 5 it bad heeu tried by tb « red men ol Am-rica , al ; d amongst the various tribes aud
iMtiousof the world . And what was : he resultol the ¦ xperimeut , xlter nearl y four thousand years ol trial ? Tne result w ? ts , ihat wnile Chiisiiau nations , lollowing the Chn » iia .- » law , and lollowing it too but im-^ erfectly at best , hail rueu in science , art , dignity , -in physical streugth and power ol " intellect , iio > e other nations had never even emeiged lroin their ignorance , nut had remained in a > tate of ignorance aud debiliiy , moral , intellectual , Rud physical , until they had either defrayed ou « auotht-r , or oet-n given over to tbe * word which Jehovah him--elf had put into the bands of their enemies , . \ % their executiuners , having filled up the uirasnre of their miqu . ty , or till they hnd been bla .-ied and flwtroyej by fiery showers from heaven , rveu as Sodom mid Gomorr . tti were now suffering the vengeance of Etrrnal tire . Let them try their experiment , and let them go to the Dead Sea and
wioierf the consequences of their princ . plcs . ll th-y balnotyetaeufficit-nt view of the enormous sum of iheir principle .-, let them turn their eyes to what had taken place at i , oine , even iu a nation where the law of marriage had been generally observed . Th-re had been men who had broken loose from the law of marriage ; there bad been S <> cial . sts before tne system was set up by name . There bad been men and women who had been following ou' . the priuc pies of Socialism , who had been doing all that the Socialist * recoinmen . ed , * ho had shaken off all restraiut , who haJ violated all law , and lolloped tbeir guilty inclinations and called it nature . There had been men and women who had been following and practising this system ; aud what was the result ? Were , the consequences difficult to be discovered ? No ; they were to be seeniu discord aud in crime ; they were to be seen in the haggard conutenaiices of tuo « e who were shut
• ip in our dungeons and dragged to the tribunals ol our oiuuiry ; they were to be tecu iu tbe dirty lau .-s and alleys ot our streets ; they were to be seen in the lactot hundred- of yo&ug men and women being bhxhted by consumption before they reach their growth ; they were U ) be seen iu the blasted hope- ; the i-hattered constitution , the waited estates fe degraded feelings aud the premature graves oi youth ; they were to be seen in broken hearted old age tying down with sor-ow to the grave over the profligacy and Joll y of their children ; they were to oe seemu pmuted luipudeuce at the corners of our streets , exhibiting both disease of boj y and rottenness ofsjul . Tuey were to be seeu in crimes that were legible even to the third aud fourth generation
in diseases wmch their princi ples cad introduced mto the very fountain of their life . These were the results 01 their experiment ' . * - They say inclination is to 'be their guide ; they have folio wed the lowest aaid most iuferior part of their nature ; and the result was that their limbs were often dropping piecemenl from their body , and their soul a mass ol corruption ready ouly to be buried iu a pit deeper and darker than the grave . And would the Socialist persist iu blasphemously aayiug this was the doctnue of the hterual UoJ 1 Would he perrist in sayiug that all this was the result of the nature which ths-. t b .-ing had implanted within him ? that in this was WLsdom ? that iu this way men were to be foimed agam in the image of God ? Woaldhe dare to excuse his crime b y fathering it uis
np ^ u maKerr Ku-rnal CoJ , " said he , ' why sleeps thy justice ? Where are thy thunderbolts ^ May Goi grant that , you may not be treasured up as vessels of wrath against the -day of wrath . ' Was it for this -we were * to annihilate our domestic order ? Wt . s it for this he was to forego thedeli « ht of his children cliinbiug on his knee , and , withthe sweetest tenderness , calling him "lather ? " Was it for this he was to be torn from the comforter of his days , after having tried her friendshi p aud her constancy ? Was it for this that t e dearest relations of tinman life were to be annihilated , and the sweetest virtues of the human race to be destroyed ? He told them that whether they were detenuiurd to deceire themselves or not , they shuuld not deceive the inhabitants of this Christian land .
Ihirdly , the Reverend Gentleman proceeded to compare the two systems in reference to the ^ 4 - ? . of ^ ove anl charity , and to prove that boaahsm was calculated not ouly to destroy these , but to introduce all the elements of dissatisfaction and discord . He concluded with an eloquent appeal to the working classes , reminding them of what hi ? had attempted to do for the promotioa of their interast-v and pihornng them not to be led astrav by the preteusioiii of such a system .

The Great Western has made a most ¦ -. extraordinary pa ^ age—for the first eight da \ s she had S . . winds , hut for the last three or jour days it has heeu blowing strong from the west , and during this time she had very hea * y sean to uontetid with . This day , at half-past three o ' clock , he met hv appointineut the delegates i ' ruia the Lower
Piovinces . . .-The Honourable Mr . Johnston , of Halifax , acred as Chairman , of the Dele ^ attrtf , and on their behall read the Address . After the answer bad been given to the Delegates , Lord Durham opoke to them iu the inost imprest i'tmanner tor some ten minutes , expressing his sentiments more fully tnau he had done in his writtei : answer . He thanked , them for their promptne-s iu wmpKing with ; hin inritati / in to meet hitii , for ihe purpose of consulting on the welfaie of the several provinces . He was happy to find that but one sentiment prevailed—a determination never > o be sepaborne of
fotttd from ii '// g- / a /^—the their fathers . His Lordship said , that amid all the perpleXi ' tifs which had surrounded him , he had found cocsolatiou and | ileasure in looking ; or « ard to the prospect of a settleiheut of the man ) - difficulties which presented themselves at almost every step . The calling together the Delegate !) from the Lower Provinces , was a -subject . go which he had bestowed a good deal ol thought , and he had entertaiiitd hopes that some plau could be adopted which would beuefit each Province , and KtreugthtJU the hondH of the whole , therebjr shedding a lustre on that country which of jII others mi ght be considered the glory of the world . His Excellency remarked that difficulties might have presented tbemaelves in the arrangement of a
union , but he asmired the pelegateu that bN great object wimld have been the good of the whole , aud not pHrticularl y that of the Canadas . Lord Durham then alluded to the Canada<—said thf-y were very imperfectly ^ kh own by thosci at home . He knew very little about them while in England . Ic bad been hit . aim aad the ^ dearest object of his wishert fo be able to inform her Mnjesty that her finir p o ^ seasions in British America inight be courtidered oneof the richest gems of her dominions—that the entire population were in a perfect etat » of harmrnj and fnendsni p , and that each party was striving which could beat promote the good of the whole . * -. — At a moment whea he wan about to complete tho-e plans which had been rapturing , party writ had

interposed her w . lhering hand , and blasted all hi * hopes for the welfare of the Canadas . He could not , hfedid not wish , to conceal from the gentlemen present , that the recent intelligence from England , although not official to him , had made a very deep impression on his mind , pppositipn from . Lord Brougham , and those acting with him , was no more than he exnected , but he wan compelled to say that he hadbien put down , —sacrificed by hisfriends !—those whose dury it wan tontand forth in hwdtfence atatime
when his political enemies were u « ing tbeir utmost energies to destroy him ; [ Here bin Lordshi p was so overcome that he had to retire to a distant part of the room . Returning , he offered an apology ' but none was needed , for every on * present had partaken . of i the . framtt .-feeling /' that"hadx ; oui . feq . ver \ hi * 'Lordshjpil He contiuued--It was , he said , the duty of her Majesty's Mini .-ters to wupport him in the hour of persecution , and not to join with bi *« bitter fpes in striking at bis head . . r
Deprived of all ability to do any thing for Canada ^ it could be of no une for him to remain longer in tbe country , and he should leave it as soon aa he received the official account of the Parliamentary duings . It was his intention to be on his way for England by the 10 th of October . He then took an affeetionate farewell of the delegates .

BATTLE BETWEEN ENGLISH AND IRISH WORKMEN . ( Abridged from Friday ' s Doncaster Gazette . ) Between eleven and twelve o ' clock on the forenoon sf Wednesday last , the peaceable inhabitants of Rotherham were Suddenly alarmed by the report that a serious disturbance had tak « n place between two parties of men who were working on the North Midland llailway , and that a large party were assemhied on Masbro Common , preparing for a desperate attack upon the town . In the course of a few mrnntt-s every shojj in the High-street was closed , and with the exception of perhaps one or two in some of the back streets , not a single shop was left without the
sbutlere being put up and the door as securely fastened . The town at this time presented a very singnlar appearance , all the shops beina closed , and groups of people standing at the corner of every street , of course aagnifyitig the rumour into event * of the most dire description . The following , as far as we can learn , are the facts of the case : —On the line of the railway in the neighbourhood from Darfield to Swinton , a number of Irishmen are employed , against whom a jealousy had aiicen on the part of the Englwhmen , on account of the former working for aless rate of wages . On Wednesday morning , a dispute having arisen between one of each party , the Englishmen made common cause with tbeir
conntrvinan , and suddenl y commenced an attack in a body at Darfield , by drinng every Irishman away whom they f jnnd at work on the line . This they did from that place to Swinton , at the same time pulling down and destroying the mud hovels Which the poor fellows had erected forthe temporary residence of themselves aud their famili / s . 1 his course was proceeded in uutil they came near llolherham : when , the Irish beginniug to gather courage as their forces increased , made their way over a number of fields , and brokw do ^ n all the fencrs , with the materials of which they armed themselves in the best way they could , several of them being already possesried of spades aud other weapons . They then made a show of resistance .
and stood their ground , determined not 10 be driven away any further . Fortunately , at this time , Mr . Stepheujion , the contractor , appeared , and led them peaceably into Rotherham . The magistrates tUeu proceeded on horseback to speak to the other party , whom they found assembled in groups on differi-m parts of theliue , to the number of about 601 ) . They ennced a won * e feeling than did the Irishmen , to whom they openly manifested a very bad spirit . In the meantime the Rotherham troop of yeuumury cavalry had assembled on horseback in .-front of the Court Hous * , where they remained in readiness , until th <> return of the magistrate .- - , when they werf
di ** m : sstn ] . A detnchim-iu ol about forty of the artiljt-ry arrived from Sheffield , with a tield-piece , a little betore four o ' clock , but returned without enU-. iiig tue town . A number of special constables Atere sworn in during the day . The Irishmen remained at their quarters at the railway slHiiou . and were properly provided for through the kindness ot Mr . Ste phfusoa . No iurther disturbance , however , ot any moment took place ; aud the town , nicer a scene of great commotion dutiug ihe day , assumed its customary appearance , with the exception of being disturbed b y the druukeu brawls ol some scra ^ gliiig parties ol the railway intn .
Thursday , H . « , f-past Thrf . e o'clock . —The 'H sturijance has again broki-n out more learully , The Eujilishmen appear dfttrmiued not to alloV the Irish to work . A large number of the former congret'iited t . iis afternoon in front of the n * sidf nee ¦ f Mr . isteplieiison , and showed a determiuatio . i to pull down the house . In consequence of this display » f feeling , aud lor the purpose of main tinning public tranquillity , a detachment of the artillery has arrived from Sheffield ; aud , with the asMslance ot the . « pi'ci ; il constables , haw succeeded in apprehending u number of ringleaders . The riot net vwis then lead by Henry Wulker , EUq ., of Chiton . The shops
are all closed , and there is a total suspension ol buiiuesy . Whilst the Sheftield und Rotherham roops of yeomaury were ou their w » y to join the regiment at Doucaster , on permanent duty , an express overtook them at Couisborough , and they immediately returned . The express proceeded to D < iucaster w . th communicAtiuns to Lord Wharnclifte upon the subject ; and Captain Glaiivillf , the adjutaut . of the regiment , ininieoiately proceeded to Rotherham t > r < -nderhis assistance . The town is in a state of the greatest excitement and alarm . The troops are now parading the street * in all directions , and every exertion nas been made to preseive the peace during the night .
LATER PARTICULARS . From the Sheffield Independent of Suturday . About twelve o ' clock on Thursday , the men were seen to the number of about J , 000 or up a- ind > , Hpproachiug the point wlinre the North Midland cr «« : * e . 5 thu Sheffield and Rotht-rtiatn line . Tlief turned along f . e latter , but liot finding nuv men at work , they left the railway at the Holmes , and cr- 'ss .-d the mt-ndows aud the riv ^ r to the Ickles . Having thus gained the Slirfiield road , they advanced upvin Rotherham . As they entert-d U ' eMgUe , a party of tliem ibreatened ; o pull dovrn Mr . Stephensou ' s house , but fimuuately they quitted it for the tiinf . Tneir chief ohject was to enter the vurioris public-house ! ' and lodging-houses in search of the Insh ; and having found several , they beat tbeiii in a mo-t inhuman manner . In W ' estgate they were
encountered by the magistrates , at tlie head of the >{) ecal con .-tablej ' , mid .. bKck . ed . b y "the yeimmry . When the riot act was read by Henry WiUker , Esq ., the men gave three cheers but when charged hy ' tlit * * p eciiil constables and the yeomnury , -tUr-y made very little resistance . The men fled in all direction ? , aud tiiirty-one of them were captured . During the metee , the Rev . Mr . Chandler observed a imrfy lerocinnd y beating a poor Irishman . He immediately ii \ tshed anioug them , drugged the Irishman upon his how , and gnllopped oft' with him . J'ist at the conclusion of the allray , Enrl Fitzwiliinm arrived from Sheffield , and soon afterwards a troop or artillery from our barracks . The Shellield troops were , therefore , permitted to pn ceed to Doncarter , hut the Rotherham troop remained in the town till Friday morning .
At six o clock on Thursday evening , the prisoners wlurlmd been taken w » -re brouj-ht up bJ ' ore the magistrates . Enrl Fitzwiliiain talked to them separawlu endeavouring to convince them of the unreasoubleness ot" t ; . eir proceedings , aud then dismissed twenty- > ix of them , m the hope that their in Hucuce auioug iheir companions would be advautngeous . The other tive were kept in custody . -JVlauy of the poor Irish , who had on Thursday fled to Sheffield , returned oh Friday to Rotherfiam
, to receive their wages ; but many of them were too much intimidated lo think of remaining any longer at Rotherham , mid aie on the move to !« tvk Work * 4 * ewhere . Earl Fitzwilliniu aud tli » - Rcv . G . Chandler airiv .-d in ihe lonrii about twelve o ' clock , when they authorised the departure ol the artilli-ry ; but we understand that Earl l '' itz * illiHm wrote to Lord WharuclitVe to request that twa troops of yeomanry might be sent from Doncaster , for the protectiou ot the town .
Up to yesterday evening , there had been no appearance of further outra-e , and the scouts bid returned into the town , with the report that all remained quiet upon the line iu both directions . In the immediate ueighlJourhood of Rotherham . some ot the Jnsh had ventured to resume their work . Mr . awauwick , engineer of the North Midland , ana shelield mid Jiotherham Railwnys , arrived in Rotherham yesterday afternoon , and imuieJiatelv proceeded lo Weutworth , to arrange witii Earl 1-uzwilham , to have all the men umploved upon the lines , whocau be dt-pi-nded upon , sworn iu as special constables . It is also intended to have trom London several of the lnetrouulitan nolice . * n . l tii
organise such a force tu will put , an end to the lavrJeii proceedings we have described . We beli .- vtf it is the determination of the director * to take the most eftecnve measures for securing both to the contracers aud to the labourer * . full protection . rJotwuhstanding the rumours that these riots had beevi attended with the loss t » f serer . il lives , We are happy to state that that is not the ense . A number ot men have been severely beaten , aud some greailyiujured , but in no case , as yet , has the result been lulal .

In charging the Grand Jury , the Chairman observed that the cases that were about to come betore them were of the mbrt ordinary character , and such as they would feel no difficulty in disposing of . . He congratulated the inhabitants of the Riding on the fact that the calendar was below the usual average for Leeds and ? Sheffield ; that at Knaresbro he "Wrs sorry to say , it wast otherwise , for he did not remember , for many years past , haviiig ao formidable a calendar as that disposed of yesterday . It was probable that the vigilance of the police was the reason of the diminution of the number of prisoners m large townsy and that f-lons were consequently driven into , the rural districts , which made the calendar for these districts unusually large . The jury then retired , after which some motions and ca ^ s of nppeulirere heard , but were witliont interest . The whole of the day was occupied in hearing caaes of baatardy , of which there were about seventy ..
