Ata meeting ofthe Parish of St. Luke’s Old
street Road London, to address the Queen, the
t Rev. Mr. Edwards stated, that he denied the com-
I mon assertion that this case was without prece-
‘ dent. Undoubtedly it might be so in the history
1 of this country, but there were plenty of prece-
‘ dents to be found in a history uhich, hebelieved,
' was seldom looked into by any Cabinet Ministers
—-he meant the Bible. One precedent was in the
case of Darius. The King had one faithful Cab-
inet Minister, whose piety and integrity excited
the envy of his colleagues, by whom a bill of pains
and penalties was enacted, to prevent his praying
to his God. The honest Minister suffered for a
time, but his cruel persecutors were in the end
punished. Ahab, King of Israel, was anotherin-
stance, He coveted his neiglibot"s vineyard, and
because he could not kill him openly, and thereby
get his vineyard, he got a special‘ Court, gave
them sealed directions, procuted lralse witnesses,
and thus got the honest man stoned. -‘.-Vliat be-
came of Ahab and his wicked (.‘onusell'ors was too
well known to require any repetition. The last
precedent he would quote would be that of Ho-
man, prime minister to the King Ahasuerus, who
was a wholesale dealer in persecutions, for be
aimed at exterminating not only an individual,
but the whole race of the Jews, among whom was
Estlier the Queen. Heaven aided her Majesty.
The Queen was firm. prudent, and innocent, and
the machinations of the prime minister ended in
his ruin, for In! Hamati was hanged on the very
gallows he had prepared fo: l;'vlordecai——(Lo2iri
c/ur..--rs.) He devoutly hoped her Majesty, Queen
Cainline, guided by Heaven, supported by truth
and the loyal affections of the people, would long,
Vcl _v long, enjoy the greatest lionors and felicity.

I Kotzebue gives a striking description of the
effects of governing by the Spy System. Speak.
ing ofthe reign of the Emperor Paul, he says----
‘A set of wicked memabusing the confidence ofa
Monarch whose heart vas prone to kindness and
benevolence, alarmed him continually with phan-
they themselv-es did not believe. Every night I
went to bed a prey to the most gloomy forebod-
ings; the least noise in the street, a carriage that
stopped not far from my house, made me start.
In the morning I awoke to new cares, and thought
only of avoiding the impending dangers of the
day. I watched with the most careful attention
over every article of my dress, and over the man-
ner of weaning it ; I found myself under the ne.
ccssity of paying my court to women of doubtful
reputation, and men of shallow understanding. I
“at; forced to put up with the overbearing inso-
lenct: of an ignorant ballot master, the ht-sband of
Madame Chevalier. On the representation of
any new piece, I waited in rear and trembling
w],¢ih,_-;- the ever-watcliful police, or the secret
Inquisition would detect in it any involuntary un-
prcmeditalcd offence. I could but rarely disbur-
thcn my sorrows in the bosom of a friend ; walls
had ears, and the brother could not trust the broth-
er. No reading could shorten this disastrous
time, for every book vva5pi'0l1il)lt:tl. l was even
obliged to renounce the use of my pen; I dare:
not cormnit any of my thouglits to paper; I did
not know how suddenly I miglit be searclied, anti
my writings examined. The most harmless wall;
could not be (‘.tm.°.l€l{:l‘e(l as a recreation ; you gen-

The spcccli of Oliver Cromwell, when he dissol-

ter sitting twelve years, six n:ion,ths and four-
teen days.
‘ It is high time for me to put an end to your
sitting in this place, which you have dishonored
by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your
practice of every vice. You are a factions crew,
and enemies to all good government. Yeare a
pack of mercenary wretches; and would, like
Esau, sell your countr_v for a mess of pottage, and
like Judas, betray your God for a few pieces of
money. 15 there a single viitue now remaining
among you ? ls there a single vice you do not pug.
scss? You have no more religion :ha:i my horse;
gold is your God; which of you have not barter-
ed away yc-ur conscience for bribes? Is there a
manamongst you that has the least care for the
gootl of the commonwealth ? Ye sordid prosti-
tutes! have ye not defile.-cl this sacred place, and
turned the Lotd’s temple into a den of thieves,
by your immoral principles and wicked practices?
You, who were deputed here by the people to
get grievances redressed, arc yourselves become
the greatest grievance. Your country,therel'ore;‘
calls upon me to cleanse the Augean stable, by
putting a final period to your iniquitous proceed-
ings in this house; and which, by God’.~. help,
and the strength he has given mo;-,I am now come
to do. I command you, therefore, upon the peril
of your lives, to depart immediately out of this
place. Go! begone! So, take away that sliining
