CHARLES IBBETSON. iVilson, Oct. 11 execution. Jane Seymour died in child-birth, leaving behind an infant son, afterwards Edward YL of England. His next marriage was with a German lady, Anne of Clevea, whom the King engaged to marry without having seen, but he was so disgusted with, her plainness that he divorced her immedi ately, a ; The fifth wife of Henry was Catherine Howard, (niece to the Duke of Norfolk.) The King beheaded her io 18 months, for ill conduct before marriage. This happened io 1542. Catharine Parr was the widow of Lord Latimer and tlie sixth wife of Henry. At the death of her husband, she married Sir Thomas Seymour, (the uncle of Edward VI.) Henry the Eighth ascended the Throne in 1509, and died in 1547.--II e had a vigorous mind and powerful body ; but was profuse, dejotic, and self-willed, lie was a learned prince, and the only one since Richard it., who ascended the throne with aa undisputed title. Henry assumed a new tye of address, that of "your mosi gracious Majesty." . " Before his rein, the Kins of Eng land were styled "your "your Highness." Henry self King, instead of IorU Tho most important' event in the reign of Henry the Eighth was the 11E FOUMATION, and permission given to the people of reading the Bible in their own language.

The rest of the monasteries were subse quently dissolved by Henry, and many vile practices, and scandalous systems of fraud were brought to light. Some few, however, of the larger religious houses were admirably conducted. The second step towards the Refor mation, was the divorce of Henry the for his own private midence; but at the death of the Cardinal it wan made a royal palace, and an old hospital for leprous women was mado into St James Palace, and is used on Slate oc casions by Queen Victoria. The corporation of Trinity House (in donjon ) was instituted in this reign to supperinted the interests of the British shipping; appoint pilots for the Thames; erect light-bouses; and grant license to poor sraafn, to row ou the Thame. Persons dressed in the reign ol Hen ry the Eighth somewhat like the Beef eaters'' arc now dressed ; in' very showy clothes, full of red and yellow stripes. The courtiers Muffed ut their clothes to make themselves look as big as the King; but, though all the ret of the drcs w as wide and baggy, the .lecvcs were so tight, that they were often M-wed tn the ami every day.

Henry the Eighth assumed himself to be the head of the church, ordering clergymen and others to be obedient to hint,, and made what regulations his council thought proper for the religious instruction of the people. Alterations in ecclesiastical matters followed this as sumption. 8,000 abbeys, monasteries, and convents were destroyed ; their inmates pensioned off, and their jewels aud. treasures seized by the King. The Talue of church property built by the Catholics and seized by Henry .amounted to about eight millions of pounds ster ling, according to the present value of -British money. Henry the Eighth married six wives: Catharine, of Spain, Anne Boleyn.Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, (in Germa ny) Catharine Howard, and Cathaune Parr. Catherine, of Spain, was the widow of Arthur, (Henry's elder brother.) Alter ia years, tienry VIII. wiahed to marry Anne Boleyn, and tried to get a divorce from Catherine. The pope re fused to grant a divorce, nenry denied the pope's supremacy, and obtained a divorce from the English bishops and lawyers. Queen Catherine, after her divorce, Tetired to . Huntingdonshire, where she d,ied in three years, leaving behind her one danghter, who was af terwards Mary, Queen of England. Anne Boleyn was a maid of honor to Queen Catherine, and Henry's se cond wife. After three rears, Heury being offended with her liyely temper, beheaded her. This event took place in 1586. . She had one daughter. Elizabeth, who succeeded to tho throne and reigned many years. The third wife of Henry he married Church" instead.. The third step taken towards the Reformation, was ArchbUhopl'ranmcr, who obtained periiiisMii ot the Jung to have an English DiMe . placed in every pamu cuurcu in uic ningaom.--Gcnenil access was' given to this parish Bible at all hours of the day, and it wan chained to the reading dc&k.

When Henry was consulting tlie jopc about his divorce, Craiinicr observed that the King had much better consult the members of the lTniovreitie. This remark leing re peated to the King, was the foundation of Craumerti high promotion. By the instrumentality of this prelate the church praver Book was drawn up, and l.ic article ot n-liyion were compiled.

Tlie 1 the very next day after Anne Boleyp's it in the reign of George the Third. The wateT conveyed to houses previous to the reign of Henry, was iu wooden conduits which being subject to con stant injury from both heat and frost, were found very inconvenient. In this reign pins were introduced from France hy Catherine Howard, the fifth wife of Henry the Eighth. .Before this inven tion was introduced, ribbons, loops, laces, clasps, and wooden skewers, were used as a fastening . for dress, l'ins were considered a luxury for the great, and -ladies used to receive from their husbands or parents an annual allow ance, to furnish themselves with pins ; hence a lady's pocket-money i to thi day called pin nivuey." A vast improvement took place in the building of ships, which were built with four masts, in a style very superior to what they had been iu any preiious reign. "The Great. Harry" was the first ship which resembled a modern man-of-war. Plants and fruits were introduced, such as currants, from Zantc, (an Island in the Mediterranean) hops, car rot, and several vegetables from Hol land. Henry the Eighth was the first Mon arch who appointed the public officer or jwcrvtanr or Mate learned Dr. John Colet, born ia London, wa the founder of St. Paul's School ; of which John Lily (the grammarian) was the firt master. I now proceed to mention some for eign divines cfgreat note who Aon ribb ed in the re!5 of this Monarch, Luther, Calvin, Soon us, and Erasmus. Martin Luther was Lorn in Saxony (in Germa ny) and was the chief instrument in bringing about tho Information. Tli auks to Luther for his indefatigable exertions in banishing ropith and other false doctrines away from Engl'uh soil. and assisting in placing tlie Bible in the hands of all people who were disposed to learned to read. This priviles be ing denied by the Catholics, kept the jieople in utter ignorance and darkne. John Calvin was born in Picardy (ia tFraet) but lived principally at Gt nev (in Switzerland.) He was'ooe of the lie formers ; and the founder of what arc now called Calviaut. The doc trines of this di ine was. "That God pre ordains every thing that happens ; that He elects some to 'aairation, and reject others' ; that man is not a free agent ; and that the electarc saved by grace only." . Socinus was the founder of a sect kiM4tllM mom k aJU4 t tk tm!H t MrtMi Of all cases o alanJone4 ciuUreo, none liare ever creatrd more fccusaltoa than that of a youth left at the Ho'ler gate in the city of Nureruburgh, itf iiiany, as recently as lt2t.
