Butt Protestant■ Harper if Brothers.—We gave a brief notice of this work tu onr paper of Saturday, with a promise to resume the sub ject when »ve bail leisure, and were better qualified by a more attentive perusal. The great importance of that subject, and the masterly manner in which it is treated, entitle this work to a ntpre exteuded analysis titan is usually given to the short-lived productions in tended for the amusement of a leisure hour; and we shall therefore examine it «R some length. , The object of the writer is, to establish the identity of the ultimate consequences, if not present purposes of that vast and extensive combination of societies os tensibly instituted for moral and religious objects, and that of the celebrated order of Jesuits.

The acquisition of wealth and power mingles with their purer aspirations, if not at the commencement, always, in the progress of suc cessful operation. The stream which is pure at first becomes foul and turbid in proportion as it recedes front its source. ...

This is a local cause, w bicli cau onlv operate on the single article of bread. The Philadelphia Herald takes up the subject, and gives the true cause of the high price of every thing we eat aud wear. That paper attributes the present high prices, to the excess ot Bank pa percUrrettcy. with which the country, is every wbereitiundated; which has giveu a fictitious and unreal value to every thing, greatly to the detriment aud injury of the laboring classes of society.

Attempted Resolution of Chili.—The fast sailing brig Argylc, Capt. Codmau, arrived at this port lust night in only 72 days from Valparaiso, the ..xchange Read ing Rooms have received papers to the 31st of August inclusive, from which we gather the following state' ment of an attempted revolution of Chili. Itilorniu- tion- was received at Valparaiso by the Chili Govern ment, from their Minister in Peru, flint the Lt-hcnee al Preire (formerly President of Chili.) was fitting out un expedition at Calloa (consisting of the ship Monte aqundu and Man-of-Wur Brig Gen. Orbcgossa, char- tcred from the' Peru Government) tor the Island of Clii'vc in the South part of Chili to effect a revolu tion in that quarter against the existing Government of Chili, and sailed ti-om Callao 7th July, lus force con sisted of about 14 guns in each vessel, and about 6u men aud officers in both—-the men were mostly desert ers from foreign vessels, and his officers were disaffect ed aud banished Chilians, Preire's intention tnjng to touch nt the island of J u^i Fernandes, and there re lease and take iuto lus scrnelT, the convicts placed there by tiie Chili Government—but on Uieir passage up, the crew of the ship Moutcoquada fell on their Officers and confined them iu irous on the deck and brought the ship into Valparaiso ou the 5tb or tith of August, and gave her up. ...ffi the olliccrann board, to lisa Chili Government. ™ This iuformation caused a great deal of alarm at Val paraiso and St. Jago; all business was at au end and a revolution expected by many. Tho Chili Government took very strong aud euergetic measures to counteract Froire. Troops were immediately despatched aoutti. The Achilles man-of-war brig, and ship Mouteaquudn, and 53chr. Coiobolo were titled out anu in a very shore time armed aud ms lined under tile Chili Flag, anu sail ed supposed bound to Cniloc in search of f ricre’s oili er vessel, the General Ohreguso, he being on board that vessel with his best officers, a supply of small arms and money to effect his object. An embargo was laid on all the ports in the North of Chili on the doth July, and lasted uutil the 2'llh Aug. at Valparaiso—bat was still kept on at other Ports. Gun Boats were fitted up for the protection of Valparaiso Harbor, and Martial Law proclaimed. Ou the vSJth of August information reached Valparaiso, (by the barque George & Henry, Smith, of Baltimore, from Conception, which vessel had been released from the embargo to bring the news down) that General Friere had made good his landing at the Island Chiloj, without much difficulty, aud that the troops and inhabitants had joined his Flag. No other information respecting Friere hail transpi red previous to the 1st of dement qer, whence the Ar- gylo sailed, hut it was generally thought ne would soon be put down and tranquility restored, as tbe present government was very cnergeJc, and decided in their movements, and as a greater part of the wealthy citi zens of Chili came forward in the support of Govern ment; business began to assume its usual activity atkr tho embargo was raised and tranquility restored at Valparaiso. It was generally believed at Valparaiso, and also by the Chili Government, that the Govern ment of Peru had secretly assisted Friere in this expe dition against Chili, aud it was thought bv many that there would bo war between Chili und Peru—a great many vessels were detained at Valparaiso during the embargo. M ILVOA. Oat. 1. Wo hive in tUiVs from M tdrid for soma time past, on account of the roads bring intercepted by the Car- lists. Tne successful expedition of Udmez, since he left Navarra, brings to our minds the most painful and melancholy reflections. Alt who were acquainted with tlio situation of the Provinces through which he pass ed, and with the mo^ of warfare practised in onr country, predicted the immediate defeat of this bold expedition; hut, unfortunately, events hive proved them in error. We are satisfied that nothing can be calculated upon with any certainly, because every thing appears to nap- pen contrary to whu is anticipated. vVli> would sny, that a faction, weak and disorganized, at first should stand before our valiant soldiers, and dispute victory wtut them, oblige them to onter into basa treaties, to abandon their inaccessible mountains, to invade our provinces, block up our ports, seize onr fortifications, and even strike terror to the inhabitants iu the heart of the kingdom! No one—but all this has happened, to the astonishment of all. A lunatic, at tho uead of an • insignificant force,has been the hero of tbe'entarprisc; who, proud of his triumph, and master of a great quan tity of rich plunder, the product of his rapacity, repasses tic Ebro, and carries to bis lord the spoils of the un- JiUppy inhabitants, who. will have to lament for a long period,, the abandonment to which they were left, and IQ the expectation of being sacked for the second time hy the leader Gotnez. This Cariist has desolated, in hi* march, the provinces of Asturias, Gall-in nntj both Cas- Xiles, Ara jon and Valencia) aud coiprs now to destroy lha towns of Andalusia. The factions scotfr the country at their pleasure, take •away til l property oQho people, and place the capi- ■ Mis in jeopardy. " • upon the same principle, professedly designed lor mor al and religious reformation, which have absorde J trie most substantial and influential portions of the com munity. secured to themselves an unrivalled influence and a thorough internal independence, so that they are able now to bid defiance tp any opposition—their agents swurm over the land in cloud* like the locusts of Egypt: there is not a city, or town, or village, or settlement, from Georgia to Maine, from the Atlantic coast to the Rocky Mountains, which has not its minor and subsidiary association, and iu many of them they ure multiplied—all pottring in their contributions to the central treasuries, resigning the entire control of the affairs to these institutions, and tbe disposal of their funds, to a few individuals at their bead, who are them selves, in the first place, and by their own enactments, well and independently endowed. The press, with all it* various powers, is ever active in the circulation of just *ucli information os may suit the designs of those who govern all. Truth is suppressed, and falsehood imjiosed. The community, for the most part are hon est, confiding, and believe what they are told.” No ono will venture to deny the truth of this picture, and no reflecting ntiud can ponder over it, without be ing appalled with a perception of Die dominion exer cised by such a combination over the mind of men, hr good or for evil. If exercised in that purity ol" spirit becoming such high and salutary purposes, much good may be done; but if, ou the contrary, proaututed to worldly ends, to the acquisition of wealth and power, it will become an opprobrium aud a curse. That it is fast deviating into this latter predicament, wo not only fear, but believe, because we see before our eyes, that whatever may be the avowed objects of these combinations, they invariably degenerate into money-making concerns, and money is one of the moat powerful agents of power. Itinerant beggars arc scut forth to levy contrbutions utl over the land; money ! money! money! is the cry, and money is freely giveu by every class, down to the servants in the kitchen. Nay, the very children are persuaded out ol the nob- day pittance given them to gladdcti their little hearts and make them happy for an hour, as a reward tor good behaviour. We hear tdntost every day, ot tfieir being persuaded to abstain from coffee, sugar, or some outer innocent, nay salutary gra'ification, in order that ffie value of the sacrifice may be bestowed on some society that lives by begging, and the heroic fact never fails to be trumpited forth in the papers of thesoricties, every one of which has it- organ, which sounds what pipe they please, and which, in itself is a source of great profit, through the vast extent of its circulation. They have their printing establishments and their book stores too, where all the patronage of the sect is concentrated, aud the profits of which contribute to en rich, if not the sect or society, at least its leaders, di rectors and managers. Tiie books aud tracts, preten ded to be givon uway, and which we see tltrown about as waste paper in steam boats and taverns, are also paid for by contributions from tbe jieople, aud some times paid for twice over. These printing offices and booKstores, being supported by public contributions, can atibrd to underwork aud undersell those establish ed on die personal resources of individuals, and thus a monopoly is created, and private enterprise swallowed up by extensive combi iaUons. Thousands of extravagant, enthusiastic brawlers are sent fortli among the good people of the United States to circulate and enforce a fiery and consuming fanati cism—to denounce with senseless violence their ordin ary food and beverage—to establish new standards of moral and religious duties, foisted over the heads of bodi law and gospel. The Book of Statutes is no lon ger a guide, und the Bible becomes a dead letter, ex cept so fur as it is perverted to die purposes of fanati cism and hypocrisy. We say hypocrisy, because we firmly believe that there never was a fanatic, who was notau incurable madman, whose zeal whs not mingled with nil overbearing selfishness. All these itinerant brawlers are maintained cither by the money of the people, derived through the societies, or from direct contributions to die itinerants themselves. What these amount to at best, may be gathered from die fact, tliat one of the most ultra preachers of abstinence, in eat ing and drinking, has realized from his labors a snm sufficient to purchase an estate at Nordiampton, iu Massachusetts, where he is doubtless at this moment, practising his favorite system. Steamboats, stage coaches and Rail Road cars a- bound in this species of Laymouks, eating, drinking and traveling at die expense of the public; dissemi nating false notions of our moral obligations,, and in fect it not—will suffer serious loss much persounl inconvenience. In tho tuterin, ns wo are ono of those who live hy daily labor, we admire and commend the fol lowing advice. ou the subject of high prices, giv on by our l»other Hniues of the Petersburg (Vri.) ('onitellation.—Ten. Unton. Hard Times —High rents aud prices of every thing we cat aud wear, are themes of univer-al complaint. Bacon, beef, veal, lamb, poultry, eggs, buttor, and all the little et cetera* of the table, are double former prices. Under such cir cumstances, economy should be the word of all those who have to toil for their livelihood,. Cut down everv useless expense and indulgence; get up an hour sooner ill the morning, aud go to bed an hour later at night, work iu a little addi tional elbow grease duriug the day and if blessed with health, the poorest ntnoug us may bid tlefi- auce not onlv to high prices, scarcity of money and prospective starvation, but iu due time, to debts, duns and difficulties iu the bargain.

The Meteors.—We see it stated, that on the night of the I-3th iust. beiug the anniversary of the brilliant shower of meteors in 1831, ihesame phenomenon was observed in various places, ihough in a more moderate way. The fact is now pretty well established, that an anuual rep etition of the phenomenon may he expected on or near the 13th November in each year.—N. Y. Jour, of Com. A correspondent of the Philadelphia U. S. Gazette, gives the following interesting account of the Boston Farm School. This establishment has been recently made up out of two other societies, and the scat of its movements is large and beautifully situated island in the harbor. The or j ct is to take indigent boys—old enough to learn and do something—multitudes of whom, in all ci ties, are continually prowling abom the streets. There are about 100 of them; and they are taken in band and put upon the farm, and thoroughly drilled in tiiat heal thy and useful inode of life, till their character is con sidered formed, and an opportunity offers of establish ing diem well for life, as many of them, I believe, have been. Schools, religious exercises, &c. are constant ly furnished, the boys working the season tiirougli by relays, and all having a chance at all die advantages of the institution by turns. 1 never have seen a more ragged set of little rogues than tiiese were in life; nor even a happier, healthier, or thriftier set titan they are now. It is a first rate charity, and is at the same time in a fair way to pay for itself and more. The boys have produced this season, over 500 dollars worth of best seed alone.” £ KEFLY- Talbotton, 17th Nov. 1836- Gentlemen: Your polite letter of invitation to a public dinner, at such time as would suit my convenience, I had the buuor of receiving this morning.

The number of these vagrant apos tles, haying the sanction of no ordination but their own, and without authority from any known established church, is beyond our calculation. That they amount to tens of thousands, cannot be doubted. Ail derive their support cither directly or ihdirectly from the peo ple, who are beginning to lose sight of the glorious light of the gospel, in die hot pursuit of these mischiev ous Jack-o-Lauterns which cannot lead otiters tp salu tary ends, because they know not vghedier they them selves are driving.

Important Decision.—At a late term of the Court of Common Pleas, held ut Exeter N- H. a case of breach of promise of marriage was decided The plaintiff was Mary Alin Stevens und the defendant Joseph Floyd. One of die reasons urged on the at tention of the jury by defendant’s counsel, for his de clining to fulfil his engagement, was that the lady had heroine somewhat deaf, which madc.it un unpleasant task to converse with her. But, as we learn from the Poitsinoiitb Journal. Judge Greene decided that naming bnt such tin infliction bv the providence of God, as absolutely incapacitated the individual from performing the duties of a wife, was an excuse.
