A melancholy occurrence took place here on Saturday last. An industri ous young man,' of about 26 years of age, the only son of his mother, was taken suddenly ill whilst at his wrk. Medical assistance was called, and at tempts were made? to bleed him which however, were quite ineffectual ; life seenved extinct. 'On the following morningj the bed upon which he had been laid out presented the most hor rid spectacle, being deluged with blood. It is supposed that life had been only suspended, and that the circulation of rblood hafl returned, when, from the want of immediate aid. he bled to death from the wounda made by the lancet. Liverpool Courier, By a late report of the Methodist Episcopal Church,' it appears, that the total number of Methodists, in Great Britain and her dependencies is 252, 570, knd the numberof travelling prea chers there, 970.

I subject themto your criticism, and will cheerfully submit to any corrections you may make. v: 'f Is there, let me ask, van individual in this enlightened age who denies his assent tio the truths'of the Gospel ? who gives no cre dence to the evidences adduced to establish Christianity . Is there one who blindly clo ses his eyes againsr the light, even the liglt of the ? sun of righteousness," which is dif fusing its genial influence the world around; which ha found its way to the gloomy re gions of Mahamtnlen darkness : and eveji where the streams of the consecrated Gan ges flow the sacred oracles of God hav been extended, eyei,to the children of the East ; and they have now an opportunity of comparing tnpm -wiia tne rami gummeruigs of heathen superstition, and deciding which points tiie way to Heaven which leads to unfading and eternal joys ? I trust the appellation of unbeliever cannot justly he givea to any,- to any at least who reajd this paper. But if unfortunately there bie such an one, will he not attend to an evidence which my unpractised pen would present to the view of his understanding one, in my humble estimation, calculated of itself to strike conviction to a reasoning mind i I al lude to the situation of the Jews as a natioi. Does not this establish, without controvei-sy, that a part f the.Divine record is trite? and if a part, why not the whole ? . Have not all the prophecies concerning this once chosen and highly favored people of God, been ful filled in a very wonderful manner ? Wh ft were they once ? Turn over Tthe pages of sacred history and you will find they were once prosperous and glorious Victory and triumph accompanied all their battles They fought on the side of God ; and " God was their strength and refuge." Indeed, when we read the history of the glory and splen dor which once shone around this ancient people of the Lord, how does worldly gran deur sink into insignificance. , But did it continue ? Alas ! NoIt was evanescent. Under the reign of their first kings, their concerns were generally, yea, universally triumphant. It wa4 then the sacred walls of ' Jehovah's temple were reared it was then that praise was heard through its lof ty aisles It' was at tht period,; tod that they enjoyed pre-eminently the blessings of wealth. ; Commerce untuned her sails to the favoring breeze ; and( their land abounded with all good things. But, as was fore told, the kings who succeeded became encouragers of idolatry. They-profaned the temple and its ordinances and all the chief priests and elders 'transgressed r$ry milch after the abominations of the heathen" and the3" forsook the God of their fathers." av haj do you say, on unbeliever, was not this anticipated prophecy ? - But was this all that was prophesied .concerning this deluded people? No. Was it not 1 foretold that a Saviour should be raised up amongst them, who should redeem Israel ; even Jesus, who was to -be their glorious Messiah ? ,IIe, to whose standard, it was said, all nations should flock ; and through him the World be filled with the glory of God u through whom both Jew and Gentile were to have access by one spiritto the Father ? And did they believe in this Saviour, this King of righteousness, whose dominion was to be universal? Alas! No They perverted these prophecies they denied, they persecuted, they scourged and buffeted and at last succeeded in crucifying the Lord of Glory They looked for a tern poral Messiah, one who should come in pomp and glory, and gratify their prider heart. They consequently shut their eyes and their ears, & steeled their hearts against the truth, even the truths which wereV proclaimed with " words such -as never man spake." And has this long looked for Messiah made his appearance r ; Ask the unbelieving descend ants of faithful Abraham, and they will tell you nc w yet to come ;.

To become an object of admiration, iscer- tain ly pleasant and aesiraoie, ana some mignr, therefore, be, of opinion, that I ought to con gratulate j myself in having elicited this sen timent from Edwin the: correspondentof the Star. J Be this as it may; I feel myself compeiieq.vto jeoparuize uis gopaopm by a further, attempt to establish the position I have taken. 04v ' s- i ,. x c It is very natural that the stageJshould af ford a theme for the tragic muse buXvit is feared that the benefits, derived 1 from it are as visionary aa the memef Melpomene itself. I shall not pretend to say that Ithe ancients neerlected meatridal representations No, so far from this, it is a melancholy and I deerading fact, that they persevered ,in in-1 duleing in these and other luxurious and ef feminate amusements,' until Rome and Car-' thae became a. ' nrovierb and a bve-word am ong the nations until they were reduced, from a situation eminently glorious, to a state of worse than gothic barbarity, "v. - ' ' .. , I shall not deny that many characters drawu by bur dramatic poets are worthy .of the clo sest imitation a.nd that excellent' and in structive lessons of morality maybe convey ed ih this form of writing. v Butitas a pertain writer has said on thb subject, we are apt'to disregard the advice of a man whom we dp not believe to be in earnest, and who we know assumes a borrowed appearance. Quintillian, therefore, makes it essential to an orator, that the world be perisuaded of His iriTOTitv. For who can desirp tn litn to admoriitioiis, when we know the reprover neither means nor believes what-he says ? Or what satisfaction can there be in hearing pure "words flow fromimpure lips, or in listen ing to a lecture on morality and virtue, from ; a man whose life evinces a disregard of bothTf 1 1 cannot conceive that the chanty of Cor neille or Raccine, is any apology for the-las- civious .rrencii pantomime ; orpine suoume flights of Shakespeare, a defence of the; ob scene British comedy. Whoever has read Shakespeare cannot deny buts that his low drollery and buffoonery are highly exception able, and his brilliant efforts tarnished by ira-r proper and indecorous incidents.' As to Ot- way, .one solitary composition ought to strike him from the list of moral or decent authors I mean the play of ' Venice Pre served, which, as originally printed, would disgrace any language, and be a reproach to any community wnere ;its representauon should be tolerated. " . ' i- The names of celebrated actors who have done honor to themselves' and tneir country, would be peculiarly instructive ; and I think it but fair that Edwin divide his proposition, and furnish such a list, with the benefits they have imparted.' As far as my" limited means and information would permit, ! have sought in vain among our American heroes and . statesmen for a tragic or a comic actor. I never heard that Washington, franklin, ,A- dams, Jefferson, Mad'sn, ; Monroe, .Putnam, Brown, Jackson, and a host of the like inva luable men, were either mimics or buflbons. The authority of so learned a man as Dr.; Blair, is truly weighty. But it is feared that this otherwise great and. good man, yielded to the current of the times, as many others did, and to the influence of the reigning mo narch. It is not my wish to contrast the me rits and virtues of eminent men ; but I must claim the privilege of introducing the follow- ng remarks ot the good Archbishop Tulot- som as tne stage now is says nej plays are intolerable and not to be permitted in a ; civilized, much less a christian nation. They do most notoriously minister both to infidel ity and vice. By the protanreness of them they are 'apt to instil bad principles' . .into the minds of men,'aad to le'ssen the awe and re-; verence which all men ought to have for God and religion; and by their lewdness ttief teach-' vice, and are apt to infect the minds of men, and dispose them t6 lewd and disso lute practices. And, therefore, I do not see how any person pretending" to sobrie ty and virtue, and especially to the pure and holy religion of our blessed Saviour, can, without creat guilt and . open con tradiction to his ; holy profession, be pre sent at such lewd and immodest plays, much less frequent them, as too many do, who would yet take it very ill to be shut out of the communion of christians, as they would most certainly have been in the first and pu rest ages of Christianity.'' ("Dr. Fleming, his successor, than whom tew men knew hu man nature better' avowed his' opposition to the stage; while the "Beggar's Opera" was at its highest, run, notwithstanding the resistance of nobility and gentry.
