Connecticut. Vane, the younger, had soon after come to Massachusetts, and was, while very young, elected its Governor. Early he seems to have been attracted by the character of Williams; and like Williams, seems soon to have contracted the distrust of the ruling pastors. Mrs. Hutchinson, a woman of talent, rash it may be, in some of her utterances, but somewhat rashly judged, gave occasion to a new Exodus from Massachusetts settlement, and for these new comers a tract of territory was obtained from the Narragansett tribes on the soil of Rhode Island proper. It was ordered that for doctrine no one should be accused as a delinquent, and that the law of liberty of conscience should be perpetuated. This was in 1641. With Hugh Peters, under whose pastorate Williams had been excommunicated, Williams became afterwards most friendly. It is to the influence indeed of Mrs. | Scott, that Williams' leaning towards Baptistry was attributed. It was not for any very long time that Williams continued in full fellowship with the Baptists. He early seems to have been discontented with all ordinances and churches and ministers, as lacking a true warrant. He supposed this to have been lost in the early ages of the Christian church, and to be recoverable only when apostles should be again endowed with the gift of tongues. Although he had early learned the Indian tongue, he seemed to have despaired too soon of their conversion, looking upon that as possible only when the gift of tongues shall be restored to the church.

of union with Milton, whose blindness was the main
reason why he had not been paled to the scaffold;
his union with Cromwell, now a name of abhor-

his union with Vane, who had been executed as a
regicide with the bearing of a martyred hero;-his
advocacy at such a time, and in such a court, would

measures adopted would not merely have been annoying, but perilous to the tired and worn servant of the colony. In 1672, he commenced a controversy with the Quakers. The Quakers accused him of inconsistency with his past principles, but he had ever maintained the right of the civil magistrate to exact marks of respect. Some of the early Quakers had pushed very far their assertion of fidelity to conscience in the spirit. Those imprisoned with Joseph Alleine undertook to disturb his prayers and preaching by bringing their trades-tools into the place of meeting to show their dissent. The language in which some of his assailants spoke of Williams, has been unduly pressed to his disadvantage by those who forget the strange and reckless vituperation, too much the custom in that age, and which some of the early Friends too liberally indulged in. We should not hold those models of Christian Although Williams had not received the £100 excellence, John Joseph Gurney, William Allen or awarded him by his own colony for all his services Elizabeth Fry, responsible for all the writings of in obtaining the first charter, he yielded to their Edward Burrows, much less of Samuel Fisher, importunities that he should, a second time, visit whose works Wm.

A. MORRIS, Publisher,

Richmond, Va. author's aim has been to inculcate pure and lofty principles, The scene of the story is laid in Richmond, Va., and the paint life as it is, and to draw from the varied experiences of the world, lessons of true morality. The uccess which Mr. Cooke's "Virginia Comedians" met with induces us to believe that the present work must prove very popular. The repeated calls and inquiries upon a simple announcement of a New Book in Press, by the talerted and gifted young author of the "Virginia Comedians," justifies the impression that the demand for it will be dented-That it will be The Book of the Year.
