comfortable, at an expence of £200. The Church is a handsome building, but not complete in the inside. Mr. Alley has visited two principal Districts within the boundary of his Mission, which comprehends almost the whole country. Grand Manam, an Island containing a population of 500 or 600 persons, first attracted his notice, as it was entirely destitute of all spiritual assistance. The people received him gladly, and eagerly attended to his instructions, particularly on the subject of Baptism, of the nature of which sacrament they were entirely ignorant. On his two visits, and during the circuit of the Island, which he made to the extent of 60 miles, he baptized 122 Children and 37 Adults.

expected to produce. On former occasions they availed themselves of a mistaken but not dishonourable feeling, and professed to disencourage every illegal demonstration of it. The populace entertained a strong conviction of the Queen's innocence; and their leaders contented themselves with proving the fact. The processions and addresses of last summer were got up with this view, and the great body of those who accompanied them, were influenced merely by what they believed to be the truth, and refrained from any direct violation of the law. At present the case is altered; and altered for the worse.

The decease of the Queen would naturally excite the regret of her adherents and admirers; and it did not require much penetration to foresee that a portion of the community might easily be induced to convert their lamentations into rage. Such inducement was held out by the rulers of the mob; and the stimulus which they afforded has been sufficient to produce two of the most disgraceful scenes which Englishmen ever witnessed--the riots which took place on the day of the late Queen's funeral; and the public interment of the unfortunate men who lost their lives on that occasion. In both instances every feeling of common decency was violated or forgotten; and instead of the proper and usual tokens of respect for the dead, we saw nothing but menaces and insults against the living. It is to be hoped that the arm of the law will yet reach the contrivers and perpetrators of this shocking outrage. But their punishment, even the most severe punishment that man can inflict, though it may be serviceable for the future, can make no amends for the past. Our country is disgraced in the eyes of the civilized world, and those who have envied her character or dreaded her strength, will say that they were never guilty of so foul a crime as this.

There is but one direction in

which the most sanguine can look with hope. We may reasonably expect that the events of the last three weeks will open the eyes of many who were voluntarily blind before. We may hope that the brutal mobs of the metropolis will find no advocates, or apologists beyond the circle of their own seditious guides. We may trust that every individual of character and respectability will hasten to disown all connection with those by whom the mischief has been brought about. The very leaders and instigators of the insurrection, for we can give it no other name, are convicted of having no power to direct the storm, which they had power to raise. They assert most vehemently, that they endeavoured to prevent the public funeral which profaned and polluted: the last Sabbath-day; and either they are not to be believed or their influence extends to evil, but has no effect in doing good. We leave the choice of the alternative to them and their supporters. We have never felt very friendly to the dominion of the mob, or entertained any extraordinary respect for the individuals by whom it is set in motion; but we could not have suspected that the latter were so wicked or the former so foolish, as they have proved themselves on the present occasion. Every thing conspired to offer tranquillity and peace to this highly favoured, but ungrateful land. The old authors and encouragers of tumult were in gaol-the mass of the population were neither in want nor in idleness-and the Queen's death ought to have been the signal not for dissension, but for concord. If she was guilty of the crimes that had been laid to her charge, and had suffered herself to be made the instrument of private interest and faction, her removal could not be considered a calamity. If she was innocent and injured, her reward was come, and it was folly to regret its arrival. All parties had sufficient reason to acquiesce in the dispensation of Providence, and

their refusal can only be attributed to the worst of motives. On minor points we are well aware that a difference of opinion must exist. Some will think that the mob should have been gratified in the first instance; others will say that they should never have been suffered to carry their point by force,-and more or less of each opinion may possibly be just. But the riot was evidently a preconcerted thing; the note of preparation had been sounded; and the hosts of sedition were on the alert; and we neither believe that any concession on the part of Go ́vernment would have averted, nor that any preparations on the part of the police would have entirely prevented a disturbance. At the same time, it is to be lamented that better preparations were not made; and that an affray which was in evitable, should terminate in the triumph of the rioters. It is impossible to calculate how many lives their success will ultimately cost.

While the riots constitute so vio. lent an outrage upon decency, the proceedings of the inquest on the sufferers threaten as great an outrage upon justice. If foreign nations triumph at the ebullitions of our mobs, and the awkwardness of our police, what opinion will they entertain of the impartiality and efficacy of our tribunals. If things continue as they have commenced, will they not justly remark that the worst court of justice in Europe does not require a more radical reform than an English coroner's inquest? We do not wonder that such a tribunal

should be found wanting upon great occasions, for upon small oc. casions it is incessantly abused. No cases come before it more frequently [than cases of suicide, and a vast majority of them are decided without the slightest regard to the duties of the presiding officer, or the solemn oaths of the jurymen. That the old law against suicide had better be repealed; that the present age will not consent to see men buried in the public roads, and that the children of an unfortunate felo de se ought not to be stripped of his property and turned into the streets, may be all quite true. But while the legislature is of a different opinion, no sophistry can excuse the generality of verdicts respecting suicide. If the jury seem anxious to do their duty, they are reminded of the consequences of adhering strictly to their oaths. If a witness wishes to tell the truth he is discouraged and even stopped-and the coroners always recommend a verdict of lu. nacy. Can they be surprised therefore when a political question unhappily comes before them, at finding that they are unable to moderate the passions of the jury over which they preside—that they are insulted in their own courts by radical attornies and partizans; and that the idea of doing even-handed justice is abandoned? If they think such consequences extraordinary they will have none to support them in their opinion; and if their proceedings are not altered, their jurisdiction must ultimately be abolished,
