"When bnDding and enfag&g the Church , the donor is supposed to be jgiaied , and claims credit for being actnatedj by _ jj eij pious and benevolent motives ; It is a free g Sto ihe g : ory of God and the geod of man .

Suppose the first donor to hare giTen eb esfire church—land , buildings , -endowment s < 3 afl , ( v * hlcn is , perhaps , as strong a case jg patronage as can be set up ) he gives this Church ^ jbe very purpose and on the condition © f itsr jes § appropriated to a certain nse ; and by thi 3 ^^ ppaafion other parties necessarily acquire « fcs—rights of conscience , more sacred eTen than sh » = e *> f property ; they acquire the right to ha ^ e £ tirsr&vl life dispensed to them by a priest in ¦ matiiey have confidence : they hare a natural io

&L ThecmllawTegaTdBdandireatedpatronageas popaij , and eTen fixed the compensation money to apaid to the patron npon the setting aside of his ££ & . Ths right « f patronage wa 3 exercised in this saner . The patron , when a benefice became ne&nt , selected a candidate for the ofilce and preaated Mm to the Presbytery within whose jurisdicisaiie benefice might be situate , praying them to again and induct him . The Presbytery first scertained the qnalificationB of ihe candidate , and

In the event of rejection by the pssb , the candidate conJd appeal against the tSdiiy of tbe reasons for his rrjection , first to the Sjaod , and finally to the General Assembly , by "Bern in the event of the objections being declared ioky he could hare the benefice restored to him .
Saeh was the law ; but the demoeaiie spirit of the Scotch sever-well submitted to it . It was seldom * S « i oa nnffl of late years when the spirit of resiBt aee abated and has finally dismembered the whole tbnrtL In 1834 , an Act of the General Assembly Kehttnnmsnded all Presbyteries , in cases of pre-• aiuion by patrons , that , if a majority of the male soib-of families , being communicants in a parish , * jeeted to any candidate as their pastor , h » shonld fcHaamarilj rejected "by the Presbytery -without * niii eonmmnicants being required to giveany reason bt objecting to him . This is the famons veto act .
Sew fids seems to be a purely democratic rule of i * 3 oa ; and it is in upholding this rale againEt the I ^ mij of the eiril law that the late Moderator of feeCfcnreh of Scotland and the other 400 ministers j « s 3 € gnitaries hare thrown np their livings and ) *« &d from the Church . If fias was in reality what it seems to be at j ^ sight , a fc ^ gi-rfng to the people of j ^ s tioice of their own ministers—we shonld be : ofiaed to bestow as mech praise on the " sublime 1 *®^ spectacle as any of the dissenting organs of j ^ fcj .

The Veto Act Units the rights to the communicants ; and the Minister aad two Elders , constituting the Court of Session , in any parish , may restrict iho privilege of communicating ( for in Scotland permission to communicate is & privilege , and boI a right , as in the Church of England ) to as few persons as they please . There are populous parishes in ScoSand , Trfiere the Clergy have restricted the participation in the Holy Communion to no more than seven heads of families I Thus the real
operation of the Veto Act is to place the whole power of the Church of Seofland in the hands of the priests . It is an engine by means of which they are placing the ecclesiastical above the civil power-rthe priest above , and irresponsible to , either magistrate or people . Thi 3 the very high priest of the rion-intrnsionists , Dr . Chauiebs , openly avows . He warns the Voluntaries that he will have nothing to do with them , and that they are to hope for ho portion in his work .
Thus it is that aftar all it turns out , on examination , that the mighty cry of these Scotch priests about " the sacred rights of the Church of Christ " means , jost as usual , the power of the priesthood and no more . ~ Dr . Chjokebs announced that the gross receipts in aid of the Free Church were £ 223 , 023 63 . lid . Now this mnst have been " voluntary" money , we much marvel that the Doctor ' s high sense of princi ple , and hi 3 determination to have nothing to do with voluntaries did not induce him to reject it . But trust the priests to permit ihe voluntaries to give what they please ; so that they give only and take nothing .

THE LONDON CHARTIST MONTHLY ; MAGAZINE . We have been favoured with a proof number of this new work , which is , we believe , published in London this day , { Thursday ) . Heartily do we bid welcome to so valuable a companion in arms" to aid in " the holy war " . The Editor , Mr . John Watkins , is well and deservedly known to the whole Chartiet public His official connection with it is sufficient warrantry that its columns wQl be filled with ?* the right sort of stuff , " and we truly hope that the Chartist public will extensively " take it in . " We give the following from the introductory address by the Editor : — w TO OUB BEAKERS iXD SI 7 BSCRIBEBS . 1 Pro oris et fods ?
" The lit of June !—the glorious 1 st of June !—this day is memorable for the great naval victory gained on it over the French by Lord Howe . But we hope to render it more memorable—more glorious to us Chartists as the day on which the first number of our first Magazine came forth . Lord Howe ' s victory was gained at the expence of truth and justice—it was an attempt to quell thft rising spirit of liberty . Our little
privateer vnll cruise in behalf of a better cause—we shall seek to free enslaved indnstry , and to succonr oppressed virtue—we are the friends , not the foes , of man . We have a roving commission , like Paul Jones ; and wherever we can make a successful descent on the shore of ignorance , wherever we can carry offprgndice , we shall not fail to do so . Our standard is -the Charter , and on ii is inscribed " social happiness . "
u Our prospectns has stated that this work is undertaken by a committee of Chartists who have launched their vessel—christened it—manned itand now it put to sea with its freight of democratic truths—not yet chartered but soon to be so—sailing , aot on itB own acconst , bnt on account of the cause , and with the favourable breeze of public opinion . We shall keep due on in a course of progress , like the Centenary ship laden with missionary intelligence , which weshall dispense at every favourable opportunity , and wherever we thiBk it may do good . Ours is a magazine not for powder and bullei , but for such weapons as St . Paul speaks of :
The armour of righteonsness , the breastplate of trnth , the sword of the Spirit . ** This work is * got out * in shares , bnt without the most dfetant idea 10 pecuniary profit . Every shareholder has voluntarily and gratuitously rendered his support , and looks neitheT for interest nor principal back—looks for no return whatever—but is ready when called on to make a further advance on the same liberal and disinterested principles . The work is devoted not to individual or party interest , but to the advocacy of those rights on which the welfare of working men depend . We care not for self in so good a cause ; bnt we trust that our subscribers will be bo numerous as to prevent the
necessity of further sacrifice . They will Bee to it that those who have zeal to serve them , shall not suffer for it , nor serve them in vain . Confidently we call on the public generally to give ability to our inclinatioiw We acknowledge no sovereign but the people , whose patronage we cheerfully anticipate will not be withheld so long as we prove onrselves loyal and active . " Had this work been brought out by an individual , or as a private speculation , it would have required the expenditure of a large amount of capital in advertisements and puffs to give it notoriety ; but we have no Eneh resource , and no such reliance . We" trust not in exciting curiority , nor in the efficacy
of promises too wonderful to be performed . W « discard the puff system altogether . We wish to take no one in , bnt we wish all to take as in—to bay obj book ; and we truEt to its intrinsic contents alone—to a sincere desire to promote the principles which we advocate , and to an earnest wish to benefit the interests of our fellow labourers . i ** It will be our aim , as mnch as possible , to diversify the matter of these pages : our contributors will endeavour , therefore , lo make their articles suit . We shall each month present to our readers an olio of good digestible fare , suitable to all palates —a Mad of kaleidioscope , which phases as follows ^
—Chartist History , Chartist Theology , Chartist ; j Philosophy , Chartist Politics , Democratic Tales , Poetry ^ Beviews , &o . We shall make such selec-: ! tions from the matter before us as we may thinkn most conducive to the isterests of the Magazine , andi ? the cause to which it will be rendered subservient —; actnated neither by fear nor favour . Weshall our-I selves , at all times , write what we think—independently—for we should deem ourselves unworthy of the people ' s confidence if we coulS flatter either them or : their tyrants . All that we ask in Tetura , iB calm , * dispassionate judgment . Let Reason be the nm- | pire : now Providence speed us for the people .
There are , besides this , a variety of other articles ' —most we suspect—as usual in the first number of : every periodical , from the pen of the Editor . We ; , recommend strongly to all our Chartist friends , of literary character , to ** take up" the Magazine—to support it not merely by bnying and pushing it , but , by writing for it . Many of those able and well-. ; written essays upon various subjects , to which w&j are compelled , by the pressure of ones , to refuse ; insertion , would here find a proper Tehide . We ] shall probably trouble friend Watkins occasionally ^ with a stray lucubration of our own , as iime and
opportunity may serve . The present number eoming npon us in the harry of business , we have not had ^ ae to read any article but the one from which we grre extracts abftve . The titles of the rest Bpeai ; well for them ; they are as follow : —* ' Progress of Liberty in England from the earliest period down to ihe present time ;" -A Letter to Arohbishop Canter , by a Christian Chartist f— Knowledge , " a poetical scrap j—The commencement of a tale called ** The Poor Law Martyrs ;"— " Chartism and Socialism ;"— " Poems by a Suferer under the present System , No . 1 f * - " Autobiography of a Chartist ;"— " Repeal of the Union ,- "—A " Caar . tist Hymn ;"— ** Life of a London Dodger ;"" Reasons and Rnles for Exclusive Dealing ;"some Reviews , and a Brief Summary of the News of the Month .

Feargus O'Connor To Numerous Correspondents.
FEARGUS O'CONNOR TO NUMEROUS CORRESPONDENTS .
The glorious nncertainty of the law has prevented ine from giving definite ansvrerB to many correspondents , and especially to those who have written on behalf of London localities , inviting me to attend projected demonstrations . The fact is that I have not been able to call myself more than a prisoner at large since September last , and when I thought that the hour of liberation had arrived , I find that I am « nce more to appear before the Justices of the Queen's Bench , on Saturday . I cannot possibly , then , make any engagements until this longpending question is disposed of ; and 1 trass that those who have written and have have not received
answers , will believe that tney were not neglected intentionally . I have been busily engaged in writing a general defeice of Chartism , which wiil be found in the eighth and last number of the Lancaster Trials -, and while speaking ot those trials , it is a curious fact that some agents complain that there were too many numbers , and that they were too long ; just as if I could have helped it . Long as they were , if cut short by one single witness' entire evidence , they would have been incomplete ; and if wanting one defendant ' s speech , 0 Lord , what a row we should have had . Long as they-are they will live beyond the present day , and will yet , and that e ' er long , form a part of the history of this country , and not an unimportant portion either .
I am really in such a whirlpool of thoaght and anxiety about the Irish movement , racking my brain to discover how we can best serve it , without running any the slighest chance of injuring either that or our own Charter , that I can think of but little else at present . , Fkabgds O'Connoe . London , June 1 , 1843 .

IiKRDg . —The Theatsb . —We perceive it is announced that this place of amusement will open on Monday evening next , for the u ^ ual season . The company selected by Mr . Pritchard , the new lessee , we hare heard very highly spoken of , and we trust his endeavours to pleas 9 will meet with their due reward ; the summer season , however , is not the time for theatricals , and it is a source of regret to us to find that on no occasion lately has the Leeds season been one of profit to the manager . We shall be glad to Fee the forthcoming one an exception to the general rule .
Fibe . —A fire broke out yesterday forenoon on the premises of Mr . T . Galleway , painter , &c , Boar Lane , Leeds , which at first threatened serious destruction . The servant girl , it appears , was sweeping in a back kitchen , and by some means broke a bottle containing turpentine ; the liquid ran over the floor , and by way of getting rid of it ; she swept it towards the fire place , where some cinders had just fallen frem the grate . As a matter of course the inflammable liquid was instantly in a blaze , and the girl , with Mrs . Galleway and her -daughter , who were in the kitchen , were also enveloped in the flame . The servant was so frightfully burnt
i | as to render her removal to the Infirmary necessary , and we are sorry to say there are no hopes of her recovery . Mrs . Galloway and her danghterare doing well , though both are much injured . An alarm was soon spread , and the town's engine from the police-office was speedily on the spot , and , aided by a plentiful supply of water from the plugs , the fire-men were enabled to get the fire under before much mischief had been done . A rumour was circulated , soon after the fire had broken out that a little boy was in the upper garret , and fears for his safety were entertained , on account of the density of the smoke , but we are happy to say the rumour was without foundation .
As UypROFiTABLE CusTOMEB .. —At the Court Hou * e , on Monday last , a-man of the name of George Bottomley , was brought up before the sitting magistrates tinder the following circumstances . On Saturday evening he went to the Queen ' s Head Idh , at Mill Hill , kept by Mr . Armitage , and having engaged a bed , ordered « offee and ham , which was snpplied to him , and after that a glass of brandy and water . The next morning he partook of breakfast , but when called npon to pay his bill , he stated that he could not do so till he received some money dae to him in the town , and as he refused to give his name , Mr . Armitage called a policeman and gave him _ iflto custody . Besides Mr . Armitage , other persons , whom he had duped in asimilar manner , were in attendance to complain against him . Mr . Parker of the Clarendon Hotel , Water-lane , stated that on Friday evening last , the day
before he visited Mr . Armitage , the prisoner called , engaged a bed , partook of fried bacon and eggs to supper , and a glas 3 of brandy and water after it . The next morning he had breakfast , after whiph heBaid h ' e had no saoney , but expected to receive some in ^ the town ; that his name was Bottomley and he canie from Halifax . On this representation , and appearing to be acquainted with parties at Halifax , he was allowed to leave the house to seefc , as he pretended , someinoney . In the course of the day he returned , wrote a note which he addressed to Mrs . Blackburn , wife of Mr . T . Blackburn , woollen-draper , Briggate , which note was sent by a messenger , who did not bring back any answer . Soon afterwards the prisoner went out and did not return any more . Prior to ti 8 stay at the Clarendon , he had lired a wefk at Parfcpr ' s Temperaace Hotel , having gono there on the 17 th . May ;

Wilkinson , bacon factor , Bri g ^ ato , on Saturday night last . At the time the robbery was committed , Mrs ^ Wilkinson was in the room adjoining the shop . The prisoner walked into the fhpp , and deliberately took away a roll of butter , anil placed it in hia pocket . Mrs .

Committed for trial . : Charge againse a Policeman . —At the Court House , pn Monday last , a charge was proferred against Samuel Brqtherton , one of the police force , of having assaulted another of the force . It seems that Brotherton , finding the discharge of his duties as policeman incompatible with the state of hia health , had given notice of his intention to leave the force . He , however went on duty as usual , and about two o'clock on . Monday morning , ha was brought to tho police-office by Serg . Milner and two other police officers , charged with having been
intoxicated whilst on duty , and assaulted one of the police . In defence , Brotharton said he had only a pint of ale , which had been given him by some person he had ireqnently caljed up at an early hour , and which , in consequence of his weak state of health had taken fffect upon him . As to the assault complained of , ho w& 3 very roughly usued by MUner and the other men , and all ( the violence he had used was in selfdefence . In answer to a q uestion from tho bench , it was stated that theirtefendant had , during the time he had been in the force , borne a very good character . Under ail the circumstances the magistrates determined not to impose any penalty , but dismissed him from the force .

The deceased , who was fifty years of age , had only oiie arm , and earned his living by selling small wares . It seems that when he gat to the top of the stairs he missed catching hold of the railing , and fell tp tho bottom with such violence that tho injuries he sustained caused his death a few hours afterwards . The coroner ' s jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death .
Assaults . —On Tuesday , a man named Jonathan Barnett was fined by thu sitting magistrates 20 s . and costs , pr one mouth ' s imprisonment , for assaulting a policeman whilst taking him into custody .

TODMORDEN . —Shocking A ocident . —On the evening of Monday last , a guard of a luggage train , upon the Manchester and ^ Jie eda line , was thrown down between the waggons , and the wheels ran over his headland crushed it in a very shocking manner , so much so that his brains fell upon the ground . It appears that it was a long train , and there was a pilot engine behind ; and , with the first engine having the steam turned off , the one behind caused the waggons to come in contact very forcibly , and he was thrownjoyer the side of the ; waggon by that means . At au inquest held on Wednesday , a verdict of accidenta . 1 death was returned , Tfe uufortunale man , whose name is ¦ Hampson , has left a widow and two children .
NOTTHTOrHAM . —At a general meeting of the workmen employed in the plain silk glove branch , hold at the Shoulder of Mutton , Barker Gate , on Monday last , for the purpose of taking into consideration the evils under which the hands were labouring , by the enormous charges in the- shape of frame rent , and other infringements . A committee was appointed , with power to add to their number , to prepare an address , setting forth the various impositions to which they were subjected ,-and calling upon thosp employers who are thus charging to desist from such practice , and return to the old system of frame charges . The trade are called upon to meet on Monday next , at ) eight o ' clock in the evening , at the above h , ouse . I LEICESTER . Independent Order of

BROnXSGROVE . —The trade of this town is in a most deplorable state . The staple trade is nail-making . The ] masters have reduced the men twenty per cent , and now they want a further reduction of ten percent ., which the men have all struck against , as the average wages do not amount to above 5 s . 9 d . per week , out of which they have shop rent and tools ! to pay for , which is one shilling per weeK , leaving | i only 4 b . 9 d . for a man and his family to subsift upon . The workmen parade the town every day in large numbers , but are very peaceable . Ou Sunday , they went in procession
( about a thousand ) to Church , and some of the principal men in the town talked of forming a union to take the trade } out of the truckmasters' hands . The churchwardens and overseers called a public meeting on Monday morning , and the men went to it , bat were refused admittance by the police , who were Btationed at the gates ; and when ] a deputation from the working men's committee obtained entrance they were informed by these generous * soula that if they Tefused working at the jKasters '; prices , they would be refused all relief at the Union Bastiie , autl if they persisted ia eon ^ ro ^ ating together they should betaken up !

The magistrates sent' for a troop of Dragoons from Birmingham Barracks , and they marched iiitflj the town about eight o ' clock on Monday night , when the town was all very peaceable and quiet , and not the least symptoms of disorder ; but when the troop marched in , the town was upjn arms to kuow what waa the matter that they were sent for , bat no one could answer . ¦ - 1 , Latest news fboh || Ji | : rica . —The Hibernia , — The new mail steamer-Moernia , | Captai Jadkins , arrived at Liverpool on Sunday morning last , ( May 28 th ) , after a wonderfully rapid passage

There are several of the soldiers in prison ; and it is saidj that the military are . ordered to be removed from the town , which , it is to be hoped , will take place without further miachieT , though this is greatly feare ' d by many people here . "—Caledonian Mercury . I The Croal CoACHB 3 . ^ -DuBLra , May 30 . —Tho neighbourhood of the Post-office was last night thronged by thousands of persons watching the departure of the Saxon coach ^ l on thjeir second journey , and a casual observer tntgh ^ iave remarked that there was a much stronger disposition to riot manifested among the mob than on the- previous evening .
Recording asjffibe mails made their tippearance they w ^ sre greetedwith the usual yelJs of execration , in consequence of whiiyifBeveral of * the horses became restive , while those drawing the Belfast mail , in their alarm , made a violent plunge at the corner of Henrystreet , knocking down two men fin the crowd , and dragging the coach over their bodies . Both men received severe injuries ; one of ihem expired this morning ; but it was after all the mails had left thai the mob seemed determined on an cmute : and the police , it was evident ' , were the objeots ot the popular " excitement , " j partly , it cannot be denied , from the over zeai ^ of the peace-preservers in restraining attempts at rioting by the rather frequent application of the baton to 'he heads and shoulders of the anti-Croalites . j Retaliation , however , quickly followed ; and stones of considerable magnitude were buried indiscriminately at the police , one of whom , belonging to the mounted
force , had bis eye knocked out by a missile discharged by one of the rioters . JAt length , by the interposition of Mr . Studdert , a' divisional magistrate , the mob dispersed , leaving a vast number of their body prisoners ia the fajMnds ! of the police . At half-past ten o'clockj | bis jft $ ? niiig the rioters were brought before M" ^ Stu | t < iert , j | at Henry-street police-office , who after hearing eytdence , summarily punished the prisoners by fining the bulk of them 40 Si , or one $ nonth's imprisonment , while others had the' penalties increased to 60 s .,-for two months in Newgate , the ^ magistrate rrmarking , that as the public mind was then in a veryj excited state , he was determined to repress the spirit that was ab / oad by the infliction of the heaviest punishment which the law sanctioned in such cases . Many of the prisoners were mere b ^ s , othera seemed to be labouring men , and some % f jjthe better class of artisans . —Mimes . 1

Thursday , May 25 j 1843 . —Yesterday the inhabitants of this town were annoyed by an announcement that there was a woman in custody who had served as servant man in thi 6 town for upwards of six months , and wofyt&own by nearly all the inhabitants as the great " J Iacly filler . In fact , this person could not stand at the"house door bnt
the girls would flock about him ; and so jealous VKgra they of each other , that one of them was Sued byAthe magistrates of this district some time since for scandal , arising out of this strange partiality . On being examined by surgeon Dillon , asd one of the magistrates . gf the Ballaghaderrine petit sessions , it appeared that the * name jof the supposed man was Catherine Reiiiy , * . that she had been married to Michael O'Malley , of Binghanes ; that she had lived with him for five years , and borne one child ; through bad treatment she was driven to adopt the resolution of leaving him , and is now eighteen months away from him . On leaving her " native place , she went direct to | Ballina , and purchafed men's apparel , in which she dressed , and the ; B' proceeded to Ballaghaderrine , where she was hired as servant . In the course of three or four
months , a servant maid fell in love with the assumed inan ; they plighted troth , and were joined in Hymen ' s bonds .

" The Rev . Daniee Lvnch appeared amidst loud cheers , and said , although ho spoke of the baneful effects of the union in the Old Chapel on last week , still he could not resist the temptation that now presented itself . In the spot whare they now stood they achieved Catholic Emancipation , and there , with the blessing of God , they would effect the repeal of the union—( loud cheers . )
The Rev . Mr . Hesnrsst then came forward and complimented Tipperary on the glorious reception given to the Liberator therp . The struggle of 1828 was still fresh in their recollection , and Clare would pbfc bo Clare if she did not make a grand display on the loth of June , lie impressed on them all the necessity of having their contributions ready when called for ; and concludeJ a short but energetic speech , by calling for three cheers for the Queen , three cheers for the Repeal or' the Union , and three for O'Connell , which was responded to by every one present . The meeting then separated in a peaceable and orderly manner .

Troops for Ireland . —On Sunday morning , we believe quite unexpectedly , the ' 2 i Dragoon Guards ( or Queen ' s ; Bays ) , then stationed in the cavalry barracks , Hulme , received the " route" for Ireland , and they marched froia Manchester on Monday , for Liverpool ^ on their routa to Ireland . Is is said that their present destination is Muliingar . —Manchester Guardian . . The Evening Post states that two brigades of the Guards are under orders of readiness for Ireland . No period has yet been fixed far their departure . It is stated that two armed steam-vessel " , the Cyclops and Rhadamanthus , have been ordered for service on the Irish coast during the imaginary insurrection . They are , it is said , to bring over large supplies of military stores . All this only serves to accelerate the Repeal agitation . Tho Government are pursuing a mo ^ t absurd and mischievous course ; it may prove a most perilous one .
More Dismissals of Magistrates . —James Sinclair , Esq ., a magistrate of the county of , Donegal , has been ihis day superseded at his own request . Mr . Sinclair is a Protestant , and an auti-Repealer ; but the unconstitutional proceedings of the government are calculated to give umbrage to the sincerest friends of ihe union .
