By Dr Kitto, POETRY:- Hallowed Pleasures, 80 connected with the English Church, nothing to do with it? The religious teaching communicated in the great majority of the pulpits of the Church of England was diluted Popery. The natural consequence of that constant narrowing of the distinction between the Church of England and the Church of Rome had been, that there was a perpetual stream of converts from the one body to the other. And now, when the nation, and the church itself, was suddenly awakened and filled with amazement at the power of the Church of Rome, and the position she had taken up, to whom were they chiefly indebted for that event? Was it not to the Established Church itself? The principle of state-support in religion was working through various other channels, and contributing to bring the country into the present peculiar juncture? The government, acting upon this principle, had pensioned the Romish clergy and bishops in Canada; and they had pensioned the bishops and clergy connected with the church of Rome in Australia. They had endowed the Popish College of Maynooth, and had largely increased and placed upon a permanent footing the endowment to that institution. They had proposed, also, to endow the whole Romish priesthood in Ireland; had given temporal rank and precedence to the Irish Roman Catholic prelates; and more recently still, they had conferred upon them official station and power at certain public boards connected with the education of the country; and they had given public money in order to endow private Roman Catholic schools, where the children of that persuasion might be trained in those principles, and fortified against conversion, or, as it was called in the present day, proselytism. Could anything else be looked for, after having thus invited the Church of Rome to put forth her high pretensions to assume new hopes to take up a higher position, and to advance stronger claims than before-could anything else be expected than what had actually taken place? If the country should see in these things the tendency and working of the principle of the connection between the church and the state, the papal aggression would lead to great and beneficial results. It would put a check upon the growth of popish error in the Established Church of England. He trusted it would lead the ministry to alter the course of policy which they had been pursuing for a long period past, to withdraw the grant to Maynooth, -to stop for ever all projects of endowing the popish clergy or any other clergy,―to withhold all grants for education to popish schools, and to schools connected with any other religious sect. He hoped, further, that it would give rise to a train of events which, in the long run, would lead, under the overruling providence of the almighty and allwise God, to the establishment of the great principle for which they so earnestly contended-the complete separation between the church and the state-the placing of all religious sects and parties upon the same footing, with a fair field and no favour." THE ANNUITY-TAX VICTIM NOW. THE inhabitants of Edinburgh have shown how much they respect the established clergy, by ELECTING as a member of the City Council the man who went to jail rather than pay them their stipend. Mr Todd has found the Calton Jail the highway to honour. The ministers for whose benefit he was imprisoned have got their money; and it will, of course, be a great consolation to their kind hearts to know, that while they have got their pound of flesh, they have done less harm to their victim than they may have feared-that, in fact, when they sold him into bondage, like Joseph it was only as a step in the course by which he was to become a ruler over them. They can hardly imagine, however, that their usefulness as ministers of the Gospel of love and truth, will not be sadly impaired by such proceedings.
