(From the London Morning Chronicle.) DR. PUSEY PREACHING IN THE CATHEDRAL OF OXFORD.

When Dr. Pusey had ascended to the pulpit, one of the audience, who was a stranger like myself; whispered to me if] recollected having seen Mr. Coliden, the Member for Stockport, and it] did not think Dr. Pusey resembled him to some extent; I answered then with an unqualiﬁed “No,”

' “that there was no resemblance; but this was hastily said, perhaps because he \Vas about to speak, and because I was

ofspeaking, that resembled Mr. Cobden’s style very much.

Were the latter gentleman sixty years of age instead ot'f'or. erend gentleman, I understand, in consequence of his hav- -ple possessing congenial tastes and huinours have every

those enormous organs of in‘pnecx, as seen lying above Mn is not less worthy ofnote that female prospitution and gene- customs, manners, and interests. The courts of two coun-

Cobdeu’s eyebrows, would distinguish him under any cir- cumstances, at any time of life, from the Professor. Dr. Pusey has no remarkable development ofthe reﬂective facul- ties, as seen phrenologically, nor as heard in his discourse ,of yesterday, nor, so far as I can discover, as shown in his literary productions. But phrenologically he is strong in the higher regions ofthe braiii-—in veneration, hope, wonder, identity, and so on. The earnestness of his manner of ‘ preaching carries to his hearers the belief that his mind feels his doctrine to be truth, and the largely developed re- . ions of wonder and veneration so visible to the eye will cave no one who sees him at liberty to doubt that he is un- der the inﬂuence of those sentiments. The doctor’s ﬁrst proceeding when he ascended the pulpit - _ was to close the door and kneel down in prayer for the space é ofeight or ten minutes, during which the organ played, and afew boys, feeble iti voice and vexatiously out oftune, sang a. piece of music, to what words I could not ascertain, which is commonly sung, and very commonly better sung, in the

del’s hundred.”

When the doctor stood up, this sweet but ill-used piece ofmusic was allowed to make its escape in the echo ofthe roofas soon as the current verse was ended ; and neither it not: any other piece Was again disturbed. There was no more

\ singing.

The doctor read a prayer. It began by invoking a bles- sing-on our sovereign lady Queen Victoria, on his Royal Highness the Prince Albert, on his Royal Higlmess Albert Edward Prince of Wales, on her Royal Highness Victoria , Princess Royal, on her Maj :sty the Queen Dowager Adelaide, r and on all other members of the royal fiimily. Having gone

Grace Arthur Duke of Wellington, Chancellor ofthe Uni- versity of Oxford; it included the Vice-Chancellor, all the .f heads ofcolleges, fellows, and schools; it included the arch- ' bishops, the bishops, and all the clergy, their ranks duly ’ speciﬁed; it included the ministers ofstatc, the “great conti-

7' and especially this portion ofit.” ' unto them the founders and benefactors ofthe University,

and having expressed a hope concerning them, much in the way that I have understood “ Prayers for the dead” to he ut- tered (though by the lowuess ofthe doctor’s voice at that passage, I am not certain as to each word), the Lord’s Prayer was read, to which the people, or some ofthem, said . “ Amen l” and thus came to a brief end the ' the day; atid these Were the only subjects included in it. Dr. Pusey next read out his text. It was Matthew, xxvi. and 28,—“ For this is my blood ofthe .N'cw Testament, which is shedﬁzr many,for the remission ofsins.” He opened his dis- ourse by remarks on the “Divine love,” much in the way

‘ reachers usually preach on such a text. The first ofliis entimeuts which I observed as in niiy way peculiar to him-

If, were not doctrinal but circumstantial. Speaking ofthe 7 r. ‘ holy joy” that the Christian feels in the contemplation of his divine love, he said—“\Vould that we could at all times ' _ live under its inflpeiice, rather than hold vain disputations don the question of whether some ofus have spoken too much

ofit ortoo little. Would that, at all seasons of holy rejoi- cing, and especially at tliisseasoii ofEaster, we could rejoice under the Divine love, rather than question each otlher’s

knowledge ofit; rather than seek to fathom that which is unfathomable !” .

.These sentiments were ex (ﬁe sermon,“ a period when they did not seem to me to be appropriate as at ﬁrst; because the doctor proceeded to _. nlarge on the nature ofthe Divine love, and the sacrament g. {the “ Holy Eucharist,” and very soon arrived at a point .thb I believe has been the main subject of dispute ever ,- nice the reformation, between the Roman Catholic Church bu one aide, and Protestants of all denominations on the g; ther, namely, the doctrine of transubsiantiation. He did (or. use the. word, well known as that word is; he used plainer words, and plainly and repeatedly said that commu-

icants, in partaking ofthe sacrament ofthe “Holy Eucha- r. , drank the blood and ate the ﬂesh ofthe body of the Sn- ,"otlr. He spoke pointedly and somewhat bitterly ofthe I. 'gligent habits ofthe University men as regarded theirdue

He referred to the opiuionof . , 1:.

" I, g again and again reiterated his doctrine ofthe sacra-

nt of the Holy Eucharist, and deplored that divisions , uld must in the Church, he concluded ; pronounced in a

words the benediction, and the people dispersed.

Vow, I hope that no believer in the doctrines of the Ros : Catholic Church will think that an opportunity is here 3 ~.. to say something against his faith. I do not write of 1: subject_ to say that Dr. l’usey’s doctrine ofthe “Real ” is untrue; but to say that such doctrine is not [ofthe Church ofEngland. As a matter of private opi- . might be of little public importance. But the asser-

‘ ofthe clergy being able to perform miracles, which doctrine leads to, is of public importance ; and the in- whie schism which it will lead to is, in every respect, re- sly and politically ofthe most profound importance. weeks ago the Oxford University paper quoted a pas- as worthy of approval, from the lecture of one of the lore. The passage stated that it would be well for us, card so much said in favour ofeducation, “to

There is at present an attempt made by the tradesmen not dependent on the Uni- versity to have the Colleges rated for the reliefof the poor. This attempt is resisted by the trustees oftbe‘College funds. But the other party persist in the justice oftheir efforts. They say they are legally and morally justiﬁed; legally, be- cause the L‘olleges are not exempted from assessment; morally, because the town is heavily burdened with old ser- vants ofthe University, for whom no provision is made, and illegitimate children with their mothers, girls from the rural districts, who come and are seduced and deserted by the collegians.

1 have not heard yet what the University men are saying ofyesterday’s sermon ; but I understand it contains doc- trines which Dr. Pusey has not heretofore ventured to utter in public. _

ONE WHO HAS anis'rLsn AT THE PLOUGH.

LONDON.

London is a city concerning which extraordinary notions are entertained by persons who have never seen it. “Some,” writes the author of “The World of London,” “call it Ba- bylon the Great; others tiicetiously style it the “Village? Coleridge called it the “Leviathanf Cobbct stigmatised it as the ‘Wen ;' the autliorot the ‘Fool onuality’ (Brooke,) . who was at times rather poetical, denominated it a mauso- leum ofdearl souls—a vast psychological cemetery. These hiin authorities are all wrong: Lrndoii is neither Babylon the great, nor a village, nor a leviathan, nor a wen—in short, we may say of London, what the late ingenious Mr. Aberna- thy siud oflife: “ Life, Gentlemen, .aid Abernathy, is life; and London, Gentlemen, say we, is London!” It is clearly impossible to make comparisons concerning a thing which has no likeness upon earth. London is _unique. Though Pekin is as populous, it has neither the commercial iior actual substantiality ol London—it has no batik with four millions and a-lialfof bullion stowed away in its cellars from years’ end to years’ end, like the “Great House” in Bar- tholomew Lane—its bamboo houses bear no comparison to the ten thousand acres of bricks and mortar that London consists of; even after taking the large amount of lath and plaster with which the bricks are said to be largely faced.

Monsieur Say, the French political economist, was not far out \then be exclaimed, that “ London is not a town; it is a province covored with houses ;” for there are fifteen square miles of them. The author under consideration, however, more happily designates it “a collection of neigh— bourhoods,” the city proper having, in fact, gradually extend— ed its arms to embrace every city, town, and village within its reach. This nggrandisement began west of Temple- Bar, whence, having stretched a brick and mortar limb along the Strand, it took in the village ofCharing and the whole city of \Vestminster. Old-Bonnie (corrupted by cockiieys into Holborii) was its next victim. Northward, it has embraced whole towns; to wit, Portland-town, Souier’s- town, and Camden-town ; Peiitonville, lslington, Hoxton, nor Tottenhnm, have not now a separate existence. The manil- facturing districts of Clerkenwell, Spitalﬁclds, and Berniond- sey, have merged into the immense mass. lletlinnl-Green, Mile-end, and Poplar, have' lost their individuality. The borough ofSouthwark is only a borough by courtesy ; and St. Giles’s “in the ﬁelds” is several miles from anything green ; though it is the chosen loonlity ofeniigi'ai’its find) the Emerland isle. Camber-well, Peckham, Kenningtou, and Vauxliall—naturally divided from the great city by the river Thames—are artiﬁciallyjoiued by bridges and houses “ in linked causcways long drawn out.” Like Rnbelais’s giant, London swallows up town‘s, cities, and villages, the import- ance ofwhich has completely dwindled away, and they are sunk to the degradation of being considered more “ neigh~ bourhoods.” The consequence ofthis enormous extension is that “of positive and decided impressions; the ﬁrst and strongest the stranger wandering through London feels, is an idea of its illimilabilily. It is tohim not onlya world, but it isa world without an end, spreading its gigantic arms on every side. It is an eternity of town, without beginning and witlioutend—au ocean ﬁlling the mind ofthe bewilder; ed wanderer with the idea of amplitude inﬁnitesmally ex- tended. Let the adventurous traveller take his station in the heart of the city, and thence set out on a voyage of discovery to the end, it'tlicre is such a thing, ol'this great American sea-serpent ofa town. Miles upon miles ofuar- row dingy streets, crammed to repletion with waggons, tl'ireateuing to crush him between their ponderous wheels and the contiguous wall, indicate the city whose enormous wealth atid splendour are to the ignorant eye but poorlv evi- denced by dingy warehouses, dark alleys, and retired c‘ouut- ing houses, where the ofﬁce lamp for ever burns an eternal ﬁre before the shrine of Mammon.” It is quite a topogra- phical science to “known town and well;” and there are very few even thorough-bred cockneys who are perfect in that knowledge; although amongst them it is deemed a great acquircnieut. We have heard of two citizens who were discussing the merits of Von Humboldt, the traveller. “ You cannot doubt he is a great man,” said one; “ consider his re- searches in Asia and South America.” The other shook his head, and replied, “Maybe he gets on well enough in for- eign parts, and knows his way among the Rocky Mountains; l‘utl’ll be bound he’d be puzzled to ﬁnd out ’Change Alley, or-to give the geographical position of Crown Street, Seven Dials.” Doubtless the distingmshed geographer would have shown some ignorance on these points, for even Londoners themselves cannot always ﬁnd their \vay about the place of their birth. It is said that a certain marquis residing in Bel- gi'ave Square desired his son to transact sortie business for him in the» city. The young lord looked puzzled, and ran lorthe map. When the carriage was announced, he anxi< ously inquired, as ifalarmed at the distance—“ where he had better change horses?” Though this story may seem apo- cryphal, another instance ofthe same kind of ignorance is perfectly authentic. It is well-known that a highly talented secretary to the admiralty once inquired, “iii his place” in parliament, the whereabouts ofRusselI Square.

Though the various neighbourhoods ofwhich London is composed are amalgamated in one enormous whole, yet this does not in the least assimilate the various races ofmen who, to the number of nearly two millions, occupy the vast metropolisﬁ‘“ “Notwithstanding,” truly remarks Mr. Mur- ray, “all that might reasonably be presumed to the contrary ofthe efﬁcacy of immense attrition and perpetual cohesioti with other nations and other men that London affords, in rounding offthe hard angles of national peculiarities, it so happens, unfortunately for the theory, that there is less in- tei'course between the natiws ofdiﬁ'erent nations in London than at the several seaports of the respective countries. The truth is, whether as regards individuals or masses of men, the world of London is the very worst World in the universe to rub of? national or individual peculiarities of thought or action. There, let a man be‘ of what humour he may, he will

meet with men of his‘hurhbur; let a man he ofwhat country he may, he will meet with men of his country; and, as a state of solitude iii crowds is a state oftorture, it is not to be wondered at that the solitary man ﬁnds sympathy in the society of other solitary men ; or that an exiled people cling fondly to the countenance and support of compatriots who feel with them the like wants and the like necessities. Eccentricity of any kind is not, cannot be tolerated in a country place. Eccentric old women were, not many halt- centuries ago, burned on suspicion of being witches. In

London.” As the solitary seek and obtain solitude, so peo- facility for herding together in London; hence the various neighbourhoods present each a distinct species ofinliobitaiits. It was evidently thus a hundred and thirty years ago, in the

nationsdistinguished from each other by their respective

tries do not so much differ fi‘om one another as the court and city in their peculiar ways oflife and conversation. .Iu short, the inhabitants ofSt. James’s, notwithstanding they liveunder the same laws, and speak the same language, are a distinct people fi'om those of Cheapside, who are likewise remoyed from those ofthe Temple on the one side, and those of Smith- ﬁeld on the other, by several climates and degrees in their way ofthinking and conversing together.” This is exactly true of London in its present extended form.

* According tothe census ofl84l, the inhabitants ofLondon numbered 1,870,726, exclusive oftravellers.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

(From the Jli’zto-YorkEvangelist.)

“ This is a work possessing many novel and uncommonlyatr tractive features. [is appearance is beautiful. Its biographical sketches embrace the most interesting incidents andevents in the»- lives of the principal pcrsonages ofthe Scripture History, woven» together in a pleasing and sprightly narrative, and faithful] ac- companied with excellent practical lessons.- Its clii'efclaim, owr ever, to popularity, consists in its multitudinous pictorial embel- lishments. _

“Something like ﬁve hundred engravings on wood are con-r mined in the volume, many of which are cotly and elegant,and‘ in a high style ofart, and none discreditable to the theme or the work. These relate to numerous ancient and oriental customs, scenes, manners, history, &.c.; and while they add great spirit and interest to the objects which they illustrate, form ofthem-~ selves a pleasing and proﬁtable study. The work is a rare com- bination ofthe useful and attractive—adapted at once to engage the attention and affect the heart. We should regard its posses- ‘ sion by families—whose children may obtain, from 'its striking: representations of Scriptural truths and events, lasting impres- sions oflbeir reality—as highly desirable. The Appendix con-1 tains thirty brief but comprehensive and excellent essays upon the Evidences and Archaeology of the Scriptures, winch add greatly to the value of the work, as designed for the instruction of youth and families.”

(From the New- York Christian Intolligenccr.)

“ This work is an attractive one, not only from the very nur nierous neut embellishments which pen-ode it, butfrom the inform esting matter which it comprises. It furnishes lives of the prior cipal characters of the Old 'l‘estament," with accounts of the Creation, Deluge, Dispersion of Mankind, &c., and an extended life ofthe Saviour, coiiipri‘sing the outlines ofthe Gospel History. The whole is in a spirit and form well adapted for practical use.- fulness and spiritual improvement. The numerous historical and landscape illustrations ofthe sacred volume .introduced into this work, will prove both amusing and instructive, to the young, es- pecially, and it will be an entertaining and useful volume in the taniily. The illustrations are neatly executed on wood: The last hundred pages contain Thirty Dissertations on the Evidences of Divine Revelation, ﬁ‘om 'I‘impson’s Key to the Bible, &c., and are exceedingly valuable. The work is in large octavn, wtth closely ﬁlled pages, and highly decorated by the very numerous illustrations and the binding. It will no doubt meet With a po- pular demand.”

(From the Boston American Traveller.) . .

“SEARS’ BIBLE BIOGRAPHY is even more ﬁnely illustrated and beautifully ornamented than his previous works. The typov

raphy is clear and plain, the paper and binding handsome, while Bic gilded ﬁgures give it a rich and tasteful appearance._ Ibe literary contents are connected biographies ofall the princtpal characters in the Bible. These are well written, and the whole' illustrated with several hundred engravings—Au appendix is also added, containing some interesting essays upon subjects ofiuiporr tance.”

“ This work, from the information it gives respecting Eastern- Habits, Manners, Countries, Animals, Scenery and People, all of which are doubly illustrated, by language and pictorial reprer sentation, will prove a valuable addition to Sabbath School and. Family Libraries.

“ There is no series of works, at the present day, of more practical importance, and deserving better encouragement, than that, of Mr. Sears'. His design is to add to, and extend the in-~ terest ofthe Bible—to place its truths and valuable precepts in an attractive light. It is often remarked, that the young of the- present age, though so intelligent, know less of the Bible than children fifty 'eurs ago. The reason has been, that their hands have been ﬁl ed with popular and pleasing books, adapted to their capacity, and rendered attractive by illustrations and bean- tiful executions, while the Bible has laid negl'ected by, all its golden tales, and thoughts; and truths,concealed in the sober and formal pliraseology of King James’slong-wigged divines. Mr. Sears, by giving them a popular form, has conferred a great favor upon the young, and indeed upon all closes."

From the Boston Transcript.—-“ Altogether it is one of the most elegant works of the season, and must prove the/most useful ever issued from the American press.”

From the Boston Times.—-—“ An elegant work ofﬁve hundred” pages, and containing about 500 engravings. The contents of" the volume appear to be sound,judicious and interesting. If this book meets with a circulation commensurate with its merits, it will be found in every dwelling in the Union.”

[1? Persons in the country would do well to procure a sub- scription book, and obtain at once the mimes ofall their friends and acquaintances, at least, as subscribers to this valuable sacred gem. Will each Christian friend who complies with this request have the kindness to inform the publisher how many copies will he wanted for his neighbourhood, by mail, (post paid) as soon as possible? It is the publisher’s intention to spare neither pains our expense to introduce this entirely new and original volume into every family in the British Provinces, where the Holy Bible is read and respected.

[ff This beautiful and interesting Work consists ofone largee octavo volume,of about 500 pages, printed from new and elegant Bourgeois type, on tbeﬁnest paper. The price is ﬁxed at $2 50 per volume, handsomely bound in gilt, and lettered.
