Delivered at Ebenesser Chapel, Haver- fordwest, May 15th, 1848, by EDWARD DAVIES.—Haver- ford west PERKINS-pp. 21. mat a strange reaction has taken place in the Calvinistic Methodist body! This is proved by the contents of this lecture, and the publication, of such a journal as the Traethodydd. This, however, is only what might have been easily foreseen, A few years ago the leading men of this influential community held the reiija of Government too tight. The Joint Company influence was powerful even unto gagging," The image" and ■' superscription" were uniform as those of a corporate body. There was no room for variety. Dull uniformity and monotony reigned. And very solemn was the reign. It is otherwise now. That variety, so observable in nature, and so refreshing to behold, begins to relieve the stereotyped. The compact phalanx is being broken into fragments. Indiyiduali^ms hegin to make their appearance here and there. Some boldly, others timidly. No harm can accrue from checquering the sober ground of Calvinistic Methodism with strips of various breadth and colour. The writer of this lecture thinks for himself. This is a great deal in favour of a man. We have no respect for minds which are, at their best estate, but rilpre appendages to more powerful minds. They are quiet enough, and in- nocent enough to boot, but that is small praise in such times as the present. Edward Davies is possessed of a very con- siderable amount of rough ready power, to which we should be sorry to see any polishing instrument applied. His augula^itiesftndmultitudinous edges and pointsare preferable in our estimation to a fine polished tome surface. Every thing original we hail as the renewal of the face of the earth." We have a perfect horror of sameness. Odd ec- centric men, have pften been the emancipators pf our race. Something oi-iyiyi(ii-fi-esh-thougli most awkwardly and even blunderingly expressed—is much more to our taste, than a common place clothed in the most accurate and polished diction. We do not think that the title of the lecture will convey to the reader a correct idea of the nature of its contents. We think that—Reflections suggested by the lie volutions of Europe"—would have been a more appropriate title, inas- much as the lecture consists of a series of reflections such as would naturally suggest themselves to a thinking religious mind. The following extract will give the reader some notion of the lecture :— The late revolutions were not accidents, either as to the government of Heaven, or the natural course pf events. They might have been pxpepted from the progrpsa which certain principles had been making for spme years. Poli- ticians had ventured 011 predictions which had been verified. The climax of previous steps had bpen reached. A inoral and political spring has called fQrth out pf the soil of society a great crop of bold plants, whose seeds had slept under the clod through a long winter of tyranny. The man who had been exalted to the throne pf ecclesiastical despotism, know- ing the tenjppr of human nature, declared himself the foe of oppression. Mind stood upright in its chains, indulging itself in joyful hope. Imprisoned justice sang as its cell was unlocked. Civil right hacl been giving signs of impatience. Heaps of combustibles vere strewn over the Continent, waiting only for one spark to produce a general conflagra- y tion. Tyrants in Church and State thought it safe to fra- ternize. Home was gaining itifluence over courts. Dr. Cheever, who travelled on the Continent a few years back, founding his opinion upon such facts, said that, a great m IVement was at hand.' llecogniaed aws were broken or evaded by the arbitrary will of civil power. Codes, framed during former struggles for liberty, thereby became null. Despotism, by setting an examplp of violating the laws, taught the people to take the same liberty then will was opposed to will, and force to force. The real existing law being the will of the strongest, nothing could prevent an engagement in a trial of strength between the rulers and the people, and the victor of course was to be the rnonarcli." The punctuation in this lecture is infamously bad. We do not kipw whose fault it is, but it could not have been much worse. It would appear as if the genius of mischief had availed itself of the temporary absence of the compositor from the office after the type had been set, and had turned the opportunity into considerable account by deranging the position of the stops. We cordially recommend this lecture to our readers as exhibiting power and originality of mind; and at the same illo'" cl time we as earnestly recommend the author of it to bestow more pains on his style, which needs Improvement. In the structure of some sentences, there are marks of slovenliness which, aggravated by bad pointing, obscures the sense and impairs the force of what would otherwise be capital writing. A min of Mr. Davies's potentialities should not, for want of sufficient care, suffer his lucubrations to go forth in a form on which tinkering word-mongers can fasten their sharp teeth.— Communicated. THE PERIODICALS. THE Ymnfynydd, or Inquirer, is the monthly organ of the Unitarians in Wales. It was not until September last that this denomination had a periodical of its own, and it would, therefore, be unfair to expect the same tact and talent in this work as is exhibited in most of the WeUih periodicals. The style is generally stiff and heavy, and is far from being neat and clear. Time and attention will probably remove these blemishes, as well as introduce into its pages something like a correct system of orthography, of which it epi'tainly cannot boast at present. Such words, or rather the spectres of words, as cdltyd- iedit,■ gwrth dradoliun," "llosgci, qresslfullUS," r ymacth" V dyzgc.u," gwrthiau" "f;tf(letl," a fiFiissilvl?," are somewhat too unearthly to meet with general favour. Except when retained to indicate thp etymology of a few words, there can be no reaspn why pages should literally groan under uch gardens of double consonants as arc found in thjp periodical. The theological bias i(1 so determined as to require a change in the distinctive title of the work. tnquiry is set aside for positivism, and the Inquirer becomes a dogmatist. To insinuate that Trinitarianism is synony- mous with blockheadism, comports badly with the character pf a humble and sincere inquirer—especially so long as the opposite views are maintained by frail and erring men. If we are to be favoured with, inquiry, let it be actually what it professes to be or if it is to be laid aside for positivism, let the name fairly indicate the character. As it is not our province to express an opinion upon con- troverted theological points, there are only two papers in this number to which we can direct our attention. The one is on Galileo, and the other on the Air. The former furnishes an interesting account of the life of the great philosopher, though the orthography and style are really execrable. The latter contains information which we should ic, he glad to see more generally given in our Welsh periodi- cals. Perhaps we have been a little too prphe to neglect the study of the laws of llatmc; in our anxiety to become expert and profound theologians. Should the Inquirer succeed in calling public attention to such matters, it may thereby do much service, in its day and generation. The present number of the Dysgedydd is somewhat below the average in the essay department. The political articles are full of vigour, as is their wont. In anothpr part of orr paper it will be seen that the Committee of the JDysgedydd have resolved not to permit the insertion of quark adver- tisements on its co-, We "believe thai the time is coming when the conductors of religious journals will "deem if their duty to be more scrupulous in regard to their advertising departments. Public morality is of ineffable importance; but we fear that it is not generally advanced by the cpndt c- tors of the press. Like begets like, beauty will not proceed from deformity, and corruption cannot induce a state of purity. If we sow tares we must expect a luxuriant crop. Come what may of the wheat, the baneful weed will hot fail to flourish. The Iiedyddiivr for this month is neat and inviting in appearance. 'J he contents are various, some of the papers ■displaying eoi si lerable merits, whilst others are ratlier carelessly written, and displaying a spirit which maybe con- siderably improved by a little deference for the opinions of d ¡ others. In connexion with the economics of Dissent, the paper of Cymro Ihich, on the Fund for Aged Ministers, deserves notice. The principle is eminently good, and the details may be easily adjusted. The great wants of Welsh Dissenters are statistics and organisation. We want the former in order to the development of our real strength, and the latter is imperatively needed in order to make our strength available. The claims of aged ministers, widows and orphans are strong on our sympathy, and some means should be immediately taken in order to meet them. We rejoice that our Baptist friends have commenced the move- ment so prosperously. The Bristol Temperancc Herald is a cheap, well-conducted and useful advocate of total abstinence. The Teetotal Times is full of interesting matter bearing on the subject. The worthy proprietor knows no bounds to his zeal for the pro- motion of his principles. It is quite refreshing to meet so much energy and devotion exhibited in a manner so disin- terested. In this as well as in his forthcoming Standai-d of Freedom, we wish him the most abundant success. The Herald of Peace, conducted by our eminent country- man the Ilev. Henry Richard, contains copious reports of the proceedings of the Peace Society. It is the determined opponent of war, and the able advocate of peace. Under its present management it cannot fail to prove efficient. BOOKS RECEIVED.—A grammar of the Welsh language, by W. Spurrell.

FRANCE.
FRANCE. The elections in Paris to seats in the National Asspmbly, vacant through double returns, have ended in the choice of eleven Members, most of whom are either Iifactionnaires or ultra-Republicans. The head, the tail, and the middle place among the successful candidates, are occupied severally by MM. Causidiere, Pierre Ijeroux, and Pnmhdpll, an three Communists. Thore and llaspail, of the same party, were thrown out. M. Girardin, the Royalist editor of La Presse, is also among the unsuccessful candidates; while M. Thiers is returned fifth on the poll; but, it is said, will sit for the Gironde, in which department also he has been elected. Victor Hugo owes his success to his literary celebrity, and Prince Louis Buonaparte his tp the name he bears. The Constitutionnel seems tp have had influence enough to pro- mote the choice of six out of the eleven, while only Pile of those recommended by the National has succeeded, M. Goudchaux, the individual in question, and who undertook the department of Finance in the Provisional Government of February, is a great favourite with the mercantile classes, who have placed him third. Next comes General Chan- garnier, who defeated the very attempt with conniving at which Caussidiere is charged. Legrange may attribute his election to the circumstance of his being an ep-detppu poli- lique, and M. Boissel, ex-deputy, to the fact, that if was he who, as mayor of the Twelfth Arrondissement of Paris, prp- posed the Reform Banquet, in which the Revolution origin- ated. The list is of a motley character, and indicates the effect of personal notoriety far more than the state of political sentiment. The Bill for the Prevention of Tumultuous Assemblages has passed the National Assembly by the large majority of 478 against 82. It has been frequently averted, that the Execu- tive Commission do not possess the confidence of the legis- lative body. This vote do'es not much countenance the notion. The modifications introduced by the Assembly have rendered the measure less severe than it was in the form in which it was submitted by the Government. With what justice, under these circumstances, can it be alleged, that M. de Lamartiup. is "truckling to the terrorists, and shrinks from grappling with them, even when they arp pitting ano- ther Revolution." MM. Lamartine and Ledru-Rollin, it is stated, were the only Members of the Executive Commission not present during the discussion. Nothing is to be inferred from this circumstance, except, perhaps, that it was a sort of tacit pairing off, to avoid the appearance of dissension. M. Marie spoke for himself and his colleagues with a firmness and discretion which are highly applauded. M. Flocon left the hall as soon as the discussion began, another concession, probably, to the moderating policy of Lamartine. The Exe- cutive Commission have proclaimed their intention to put the new law in force .(witli prudent but resolute firmness." M. Bethmont, the new Minister of Justice, is said to have begun by re-appointing MM. Portalis and Landrin to the offices which they had resigned. Should they accept the appoint- ments, it will be a proof that there was no quarrel between them and the Executive Committee.—Patriot,
ITALY.
ITALY. An Italian deserter from Verona had given the following information :—When he left, the garrison consisted of about 23,000 men, consisting of five regiments of Italians, three of Hungarians, and about 10,000 Germans; six field batteries, and numerous pieces of heavy artillery on the forts. The distress was great among the troops. Letters from Ferrara of the 29th state, that the Neapolitan troops persist in their refusal to cross the Po. They had begun their retreat, but, owing to the remonstrances of their officers, had consented to return; but, on hearing that Bologna would not receive them, they had taken the direction of Ferrara. The citizens of that town had closed the gates against them, and taken to arms. Two battalions of Neapolitans, having cannon with them, presented themselves before Ravenna. Colonel La- Galla, who commanded them, having in vain recommended them to returm, blew out his brains with a pistol. The sol- diers proceeded towards llavenna, where they found the gates shut, and were informed that without an order from General Pepe, they would not be admitted, nor receive provisions. They answered tlat they bad their qrclers qn the cannon's mouth. PpOll this the inhabitants sounded the tocsin. The end of the affair is not known. The Veniidue Marzq of Milan, of the 6th, publishes a bul- letin, stating that on the 3rd the Austrian s had again con- centrated themselves in the environs of Casaboldo and Asoill, 1 t e but more particularly at Rivalta, where Marshal Radetsky had established his nead-quarterS. they had also thrown a bridge over the Mincio, to 'secure their retreat. On the 4th, before daybreak, the Piedmoutese began their attack some cannon shots were fired; but when they arrived at the posi- tiim lately occupied by the enemy, they found thepi aban- doned; tlie Austrians' hdd retired to Mantua during the night by concealed Inaychpi, The whole scene pf action was still strewed with the dead bodic3* of tlipsewhohad fallen 011 the HOth" ult., the effluvia froiii whfcli tjiiiited the air, During their retreat they violated the churches, robbed them of the sacred utensils, and devastated the houses and fields. About 200 Italian deserters went over to the Pied- montese at Asola. Charles Albert returned tp his head- quarters at Valeggio,
NAPLES.
NAPLES. The Contemporaneo of Rome, of the SJst ultimo, publishes a supplement, containing'ft'letter from Naples of the 26th, the 1 ruth of which it guarantees. According to this autho- rity the provinces have risen, and the Basilicata has taken the lead. From 10,000 to 12,000 men are in amis there, not including the cavalry of the National Guard, which consti- tutes an imposing force. The church bells have been taken down, and melted into cannon. Two committees have been formed; one of finance, the other of war. Delegates have been sent into the Capitanata and the Terra di Barri to or- ganise insurrectionary movements. Others are gone to Salerno for ilie fame purpose, and others into Calabria, where a Provisional Government has been established, and which has declared the dethronement of Ferdinand.
IRELAND.
IRELAND. THE IRISH LEAGUE."—The Freeman gives the follow- ing outline of the plan of the" Great national organisation, in which all Irishmen can unite, and to which all crn look with pride and confidence: The Irish League for the attainment of the legislative independence of Ireland. Its pbjeet shall be to concentrate public opinion, to organise the whole nation, to demonstrate the will and determination of the universal people to achieve legislative freedom, and their resolve never to abate their exertions until the object of the league shall have been accomplished. The details for carry- ing into effect this great and masterly project are few and simple,—The directing bodies of the existing associations acting together are to form the cpntrolling council of the Irish league the members of the existing bodies are to be the original members of the new, and every new contributor of at least Is. shall thereon be entitled to be proposed a member of the Irish League. To secure unanimity, and guard against the possibility of division, no matter can be introduced at the meetings of the League which shall not have been previously approved and sanctioned by a majority of the members pf the council." Mr. John OConnell, hav- ing an instinctive dislike to the smell of gunpowder, has virtually declined any connexion with the Irish League." This, the first fruit of the vaunted union of Repealers," is announced in the following letter from the ex-leader, and published in the Evening Freeman, the same journal, by the way, which this day week was the herald of the intelligence respecting the glorious patch up of the treaty between the hitherto hostile factions:- Saturday morning. My dear Gray,—I have no right to ask or expect the insertion of the following but I send it to you in order to explain the course I shall feel bound to take on Monday, in consequence of the, I fear, much too premature anticipations of your leading article of to-day. The occurrences of yester- day leave me little expectation, indeed, that those anticipa- tions shall be realised. Your's, ever faithfully, JOHN O'CONNELL. P. S.—I cannot feel the least surprised if you do not insert the following, so pray do not hesitate to act as you think fit:- TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING FREEMAN. Saturday. "'SIR,—I most sincerely regret to have such reason to fear that the desired coalition of the Repealers is not so im- mediately practicable as is predicted in the Morning Free- man of this day, that I cannot let the week close without making public my impression on this subject. I have received from a most important quarter a re- monstrance, couched in the very strongest terms, against, giving up the Repeal Association, founded by Daniel O'Connell. Difficulties of detail have also to some extent intervened upon points of great importance but my great reason for fearing that the coalition may not very speedily occur is, from the remonstrance in question. The importance of the quarter from whence it comes cannot be over-rated; and I am bound also to say, that communications to the same effq:t from other quarters, also of great importance, have reached me since the first came to hand. I therefore pray the friends of the Repeal Association throughout the country to understand that, as yet, nothing is settled. ° I am, dear sir, your obliged servant, 4 JOHN O'CONNELL, The first number of a new weekly paper, entitled tho Irish T'ribune, and intended as a successor to the United Irishman, was issued oil Saturday morning.

THE TURNIP FLY.
THE TURNIP FLY. A writer in the Entomological Magazine has detailed some experiments made by himself, to ascertain wheiice the turnip-fly comes forth so suddenly upon the crop. lie first describes the perfect insect as to its forms, colours, and' manners; and adds, that it, or rather its grub, com- mences its attack qn the turnip as soon as it. is up, devouring the two cotyledons and the little heart, and sometimes, in a few days, leaving the field as brown as it was on the day it was sowp. I have always," continues the writer, observed the greatest quantity of grubs pp yery young plants; they are very yariofus in size, and it is not before the plants are a fortnight or three weeks old that the beetles appear in any quantities," though lip admits that some beetles are visible when the plants first coriip up. Pursuing his objeci, he first sowed a pot of garden soil with turnip seed, which produced both the plants aI:d the animals inabundanpe; next he enclosed the pot in pasteboard and canvass, with like success; thirdly, he raised plants under a gauze frame, which were also attended with insects, but with one point gained, namely, they did not come to his gauze- covered plants by flight or skipping. Fourthly, he sowed seeds, on soil that had been previously baked in an iron pot, moist- ened with water which had been boiled, carefully covering the pot as before to prevent all ingress thereto. In this trial the plants were allowed to obtain a considerable size, when they were found all a-hop with beetles Concluding from these trials that the eggs were neither in the earth nor in the water, he examined the seeds wiili a lens, and saw on them a number "of white-flatfish substances, generally one, two, three, four, and in one instance, lin-e oil a single seed." It naturally occurred to the experimentalist to attack these eggs, which lie did by making a pretty strong bririe, in which the seed was soaked for twenty-four hours, taken 6ut, dried, and sowed; the plants rose freely, Oil which neither grub, fly, nor beetle was to be seen. He afterwards found that steeping three hours in brine is equally effectual; and SÇè convinced is the writer of the truth of his discovery, and effi- cacy of the steep, that he prepares all his cruciferous seeds (cabbage, radish, cauliflowers, &c.), for sowing in like nlaniieh If the writer has not mistaken accidental circumstances for the effects of his own management of the secdsj the discovery

.1 INDIA.
INDIA. The Honourable East India Company's steamer Scmira- mis arrived at Si-lezon the 27tli ult., having on board Sir G. It. Clerk, K. C. B., late Governor of Bombay, and suite. The Semiramis left Bombfty on the 7th, and has brought the following important intelligence, which is taken from a supplement of the Bombay Times, dated the 6th of May :—■ Lahore, April 25. The news from Moultan savours of war. There has been a' fight between our political agents Anderson and Vans Agnew, at the hedd of the Jvhalsa troops, and the Moult nines, in which the former were defeated. Both Vai s Agnew'and Anderson have been severely wounded. A de- tachment of the Maharajah's troops; under Deena Nauth, left yesterday; and her Majesty's 10th, 8th, 73rd, and 50th Native Infantry, Wheeler's Horse, Campbell's Troop Horse Artillery, and Austin's battery, are under orders for imme- diate service. It is said that Moultan is in a very disturbed state. Brigadier Campbell, C.B., assumes the command of the column, which is quite ready. The fort of Moultan cost Runjeet Singh 2,000 men. The Dewan Ivloolraj of Moultan has broken off all allegiance to the Lahore Government. M. Vans Agnew is shut up in a Gurree' with 500 men, and great fears are entertained for his safety. The latest intelligence from Moultan is to the 21st of April." The source Qf this statement in the Bombay Times is the Mofussilite of the 28th of April, which contains the follow- ing letter from Lahore on the subject:—• There has been a fight between our politicals, at the head of the Khalsa troops, and the Moultanees, in which the former got thrashed. Vans Agnew was frightfully wounded —I believe cut to pieces, and Anderson also wounded, Deena Nauth went off from this at the head of his troops the night before last, to render his assistance; and at tho witching hour' of twelve last night we, the Flying Bri- 10 C3 gade,' viz., Artillery, Irregulars, her Majesty's 8th, 10th, 50th, and 73rd Native Infantry Regiments, received orders to be ready at an hour's warning. Report says that we start to-night, but nothing positive. However, good bye for the present, as everybody is rushing about in the most frantic manner for camels, &c. You may depend upon it that I'll keep you aware of every movement, and sincerely hope that you may have to record lots of glorious deeds, which I think not at. all improbable., as I believe that the Moultan ee rebels consist of 20,000 de- termined fellows. The Nawaub pf Moultan is with the un- fortunate Vans Agnew's party. April 25. Regarding Anderson's death, it is only a durbar report^ no official communication has been received at the Resi- dency,"
