Wilkes nnd he soon afterwards quarrelled; for Mr. Home did not find, when his turn was served, tlmt Mr. Willies was the red-hot pat riot he pretended to I*. A paper war ensiled, in which the celebrated Junius took a part. Mr. Horne was a powerful advocate of A- tiericnn independence; hut, in his zcul for liberty, he was so ini|irudciit as to open and advertise a subscription “ for the relief of our infortutmte brethren in America, who were basely murdered by the British troops nt Lexington.'’ For thus he was prosecuted nnd imprisoned in the King’s Bench. All hope of ecclesiastical preferment being at nn end, soon after his release from prison, he threw off his canonicals, resigned the living of Brentford, und entered the Society of the Inner Temple ; where lie kept strict terms, and studied the law us u profession. In due (4110, the period arrived when lie ought to Ibvc been cnllcd to the .bar; hut, when he pit in his claim, the henclhes refused to ad- nit him, on the ground “ that die clcri- e:| character was indelibleand that, “ laving been in holy orders, they would not caintennncc so indecent and impious u des ertion of liis former profession.” Iu this rc- jeition, however, it was believed tlint politicnl 01 party feeling, had more weight than any disirc to preserve the purity of religion. Although he was now a layman in fact, aid without a profession whereby to earn a livelihood, Mr. Horne's abilities were duly np- piccintcd hy the leaders of the politicnl par ties on encli side; and he certainly wns of great tec to Mr. Fox, by whom lie wns held in great consideration ; nnd with whom he remained for many years on terms of strict intimacy und friendship. In 1790, he, Mr. Fox, and Lord Hood stood as candidates for Westminster; hut from mismanagement, Mr.Tooke did notsuc- cced in his wish to represent that city. (The cause of Mr. Horne changing his name is stated ns follows :—) An elderly gentleman, named Tooke, who hnd made a large fortune as a merchant in the African Company, bought some lands in Lincolnshire ; but, the title being supposed to he defective, the crown set up a claim for a disobedient villain that Harwood is. I11 tlic first place—but, pray, sir, may I heg to be informed, as to wlmt interest, or motive, you can have, in thus diving into family af fairs I “ No interest, sir, whatever,” replied llorni; and the only motive that I have, is u love of justice ; for I could not hear that your neph ew should he estranged from you, whilst I ate your bread, nnd drank of your cup. Besides, what must the world think of you; und in deed of me, too, did I countenance this ban ishment of your near relatives. The old man was satisfied with this nxplan- tion, and recounted to Mr. Tooke stvernl pet ty circumstances of supposed offence on the purt of Colonel llurwood; but his auditor soon explained, or rather argued away all differences ; und he hud the satisfaction of carrying an invitation to the Colonel to dine with his uncle the next day. The old gentleman was so pleased with hi: nephew, tlmt he gave him a general invitation to his house ; anil, at length, he became so nttachcd, that he would have him become nn inmate. This arrangement was soon acc.ec- ded to; and John Horne Tooke took ad vantage of it, for the more convenient pur suance of his studies in philology ; for which purpose he took the house in Purley Bottom, where he composed the principal portion of Ins famous work, entitled “ Diversions of Purlcv." But, ns it wns impossible for old Mr. Tooke to he totally deprived of liis company, John llornc arranged his plans so as to live in the house in Westminster one month, and in his own the next, and so on. Colonel Harwood, too, by this plan secured six months of lib erty during the year; for, whilst Horne Tooke wns with his uncle, he pursued his own af fairs elsewhere. As a reward for their assiduity in contribu ting to his amusement and comfort, Mr. Tooke invariably told them, when they met together, that they should be his joint und sole heirs; but, unfortunately, if cither of them vexed him, or became cavillers, during his month of servitude, lie would invariably tell him, that “he would disinherit hint, and leave all his property to the other !" He had threatened each in this manner so often, thnt at length, upon comparing notes, them, and the attorney general was employed I 'J became a moot point whether Tooke, or to conduct the case. Mr. Tooke had heard Hanvood - or bo11 '- ,n,,0,,t th *’ r,rlu,,i of the rejection of Mr. Home, by the benches of the Inner Temple, and he conceived thnt this exclusion was no proof of his being an unsound lawyer. lie according applied to him ; and Mr. Horne liuving solicited the suit, had the good fortune to defeat the crown law yers. Mr. Tooke was so well pleased with his success, that he became strongly attached lo his solicitor, nnd invited him to reside with him at his house in Westminster; which he did for several years. Their friendship was, if possible, strengthened by John Horne assum ing the surname of liis patron, and attaching it to liis own ; so tlmt he wns known us, and signed his name; “ John Horne Tooke.”— During this intercourse, Mr. Horne Tooke, having no professional means of earning mon ey, was obliged, on several occasions, to borrow from old Mr. Tooke ; und the latter willing ly accommodated him, at the rate of five hundred pounds at a time. At length Horne Tooke discovered that his patron lmd a nephew, who had nt some time offended him, und w hom the old gentleman hnd refused to see for several years. This was a Colonel Harwood, to whom Horne aniosuAiraoua. Simulrt jurtinda et idonoa dicere vita*.Ho From flip Atlantic Souvenir, for 1028. DEATH ON TIIE PALE IIORSE.

John Horne Tooke wus, perhaps, the most extraordinary man of the period iu which he lived. Scurcely any political occurrence hap pened in which he did not take un active purt. During his long life of seventy-seven years, he witnessed great revolutions of politics and of parties ; and in all of them his tulents and indefatigable spirit were exerted on one side or the other. Itis father, whose mime was Horne, was u poulterer in Westminster, nnd was in very comfortable circumstances, if not ticli. Anx ious to bestow the best education upon his son, whom he intended for the church, he sent him first to Westminster School, nnd then to St. John’s College, Cambridge; nt both which seminaries he distinguished himself by talent and assiduity. On entering into holy orders, he was, under the patronngo of the Duke of Newcastle, immediately inducted into the lu crative living of Brentford, where he contin ued for twenty-four years ; in all which time, however, he never quitted the field of poli tics. During the commotions raised hy Wilkes, Mr. Horne espoused the populnr side ; and when the “ favourite of the people” wns dis appointed in being returned to serve in par liament, in 17fi8, he exerted the whole of his power and influence in procuring his election lor Middlesex ; which Herculean task he nt length nchteved, hy canvassing town and the relatives, lie said one day, “ I understand, my dear sir, that you have a nephew.” “ And how dare you, sir, mention thnt cir cumstance to mel” returned the old man, reddening with anger. 11 1 heg your pardon ; hut I thought the intelligence of Colonel Harwood being in London might be agreeable to you.” “ Quite to the reverse, sir,” responded Mr. Mr. Tooke ; “and if you regnrd my favour, you will never mention his nnme iu my henr- ing.” “ Upon my word, sir,” rejoined Horne, “I don’t understand this. It is very possible you may have just cause of cnmpluint; nay, suf ficient to warrant you in discarding this rel ative of yours ; hut, I must and shall know the reason. For your friendship and kind ness towards mvself, 1 trust thnt I have not been ungrateful; hut, ns I have enjoveil your confidence so long, I consider that I have a right to know why you treat your sister’s son as n stranger." *’ Mind your own business, Master Horne,” returned the old man, highly chafed, but sup pressing liis rage, " or perhaps it mny be worse for you ; I can ultcr my mind you know.” “ This is my business master Tooke," re torted Home, “ and I demand an explanation; if your nephew deserves your unkindness, so; [ shall take upon me to judge between you.” “ Will you V' interrupted the old man, with a sneer : “ Upon my word, you nre a med dling jackniinpes; and, if you say another word, I’ll not leave you a shilling." ‘ I care little about that,” replied the du tiful protege; “ and now that we are upon equal terms, I will, with all due deference, tell you a little more of my mind ; nnd thnt is, that if you will give me a good reason for your unnatural behaviour to Colonel Har wood, I shall remain with you on the same terms as hitherto ; hut if you will not do that, or if, being unable to do so, you persist in re jecting the friendly advances of your affection ate nephew, I shall have done with you forev er, and shull neither cat nor sleep in your house after this night; so, for the presont, I leave you to your reflections.” “ Stop ! stop I" exclaimed the old mnn, softening; “ upon my word, Master Horne Tooke, you give yourself airs that neither become you, nor suit me. However saucy varlet, as you are, I suppose I must submit to your dictation as usual.’ “ Oh! don’t let it he said, sir,” exclaimed Horne, “ that my dictation." “ Hold your tongue, sir” interrupted the old man: “ sit down, and you shall hear tvha! Harwood, or both, should inherit the riches of this testy old man. Accordingly, they laid their heads together, and agreed, that whichever should be declared heir by will, should divide equally with his friend. This ingenius mode of defeating the threats of the old gentleman, caused many a laugh between them. But, ulas, human foresight is often of little avail, after all! The old merchant died, and left neither Home Tooke nor his nephew half a crown 1 He bequeathed the whole of his immense property to the son of another sister, a person whom it is doubtful whether lie ever saw. The name of the lucky heir was Bcazely, son of an alderman of that uamc. He nnd his father came to London to take possession, w hen n meeting of the relatives took place, and alter dinner, young Bcazely got up, and, to the surprise of every one, said, that it was too had for “ Cousin Harwood to be cut out, and he was deter mined tlmt he should have half.” The futli- er embraced his son saying. “ There’s my own hoy!—you hu’ just done the very thing that I wns thinking o’ and yc wont thrive the worse for dmug a good action.” Colonel Ilnrwood accordingly received seventy-two thousand pounds in cash, and culled upon Horne Tooke with the news.— The latter congratulated him upon his good fortune; and, after further, compliments, his visitor said, “ You know, Mr. Tooke, you have no positive right to any of this money, as it was obtained upona different tack to what our joint expectations were ; hut” “ By no means,” returned Tooke, " I have no right to it whatever; it was the free will gift of your cousin, and I wish you health and long life to enjoy it. Therefore dont say another word upon the subject.” O, but I shall," exclaimed Harwood, “nnd I shall insist that you have some of the money : it is only your due for the friendly manner in which you reconciled me with tny uncle; and, although ho has done us both, that is no reason why I should neglect you Therefore, tell me candidly, how much will be sufficient to make you comfortable? “You are very kind Ilnrwood,” said Tooke, “ at a word, then, if I had four hundred a year for myself and the girls (his natural daughters,) I should be quite happy, and be enabled to leave them independent, when 1 am gone ” “You shall have it, Tooke," said the Col onel, writing—“ There is a check upon Coutts for eight thousand pounds.” This treatment was more than childish ; nnd by the advice of Horne Tooke‘s friends, the matter wns thrown into the Court of E- quity. The suit was, however, so long in be ing decided, that the plaintiff at length order ed himself to be carried into court in his bed, when he spoke his mind so freely to the chan cellor, that a decision wns given in a few days, in his favor of course. Among other severe things, Mr. Tooke said to Lord Eldon, that it appeared he was determined to withhold the bread from his lips, until he should have no teeth to chew it.” B.BUOXOUI. Extracts from the Minutes of the Seventh An niversary of the Baptist Convention for the State of Georgia, convened at Monticello, on the 2d, and continued to the 5th day of May, IS28. The Committee on the state of Religion> report that it is more flattering in Georgia than it ever wns before. On the Ocmulgee, Flint river, Yellow river, and Georgia Associations, the Lord has poured out his spirit in rich pro fusion, nnd many have been added to the churches. From the Ebenczer nnd Tugalo Associations, wc have nothing very encourng ing. The spirit of opposition to missions' ry efforts in the Hcpzibah Association, seems to he giving way.

THE BAPTIST CONVENTION For Georgia to its constituents, and to L tists generally throughout the State Dear Brethren—In the good provide of God wc have been permitted to nssen at tlic time and place appointed, and hold, seventh annual meeting. \Vc rejoice in increase of evidence, which continues tc presented, that the Convention is growinj favor both with God nnd man; and that, though ns yet in its infancy, it has alro hy the Divine blessing been productive happy effects. Still, however, we have to meat the cold indifference of some, who | fess the religion of Jesus, and the avowed position of others. We speak the truth w we say that this is to us a subject of d and heart-felt regret. It is so for a variet rensonsjtoo numerous to meutiou. We s, state two or lliree. 1st. If any good may he expected to rc from the Union, (and of this wc arc very c fident from the goodness of the cause, from past experience) then it must be obvic tlmt the more extended and cordial the operation in this matter, the greater the mount of good on which we ore warrants calculate. Some inay he so far infected with the ti tractive heresy of Antinominnism, as to it ginc tlmt this remark savours of depende on works. For the benefit of such we wo merely observe that whatever reason any dividual 1ms to expect u blessing on a c tain course of duty, liis neighbour hus same reason to expect nn equal blessi while walking in tlio sums path; hut nototh wise. In both cases, however, the rewart entirely of grace, not of works in any shaj just as much so, as if neither individual I worked at all. In both cases, too, the blc ing is conferred in thnt wry, which the € of grucc lias prescribed to himself,—not that, which the Antinomiun would presum tuously prescribe for him, from liis own sin aversion to duty. If the proceeding remarks be correct, t! the friends of the Convention have a just cat of regret, when they look on the condition Georgia and the world,(and reflect how mu good is prevented hy the disunion of our t nomination, tlmt might with the Divine hie ing, be brought about hy their hearty and < tended co-opcration. 2d. If it he of God, ns wc arc confident is, no weapon formed against it can prospi and all opposition must he injurious in greater or less degree to those by u lioni it exercised. U. On the same hypothesis indifference culpable. The fearful curse against Mer and its inhabitants was denounced, not > the ground of their having directly oppos God or his cause, but, “because they car not up to the help of the Lord, to the help the Lord against the mighty.” (see Judge 23.) Christian charity would induce as to b lieve, that where professors of religion stai aloof from the General Association, or ta a part in opposing it, they must be ignorant its design, and of the principles upon will it is coustituted. If this be the case, to r move their ignorance on these points will b nt the same time, to remove their oppasitio und convert them into friends. On this subject let the following extrac from the constitution speak for themselves. Article 10th. The followingare the speed objects of this body: 1st.
