The assurers for the whole of life, PARTICIPATE IN THE PROKITS, which are to be divided at the close of every successive period of five years, and which may be applied either to the increase of the sum assured, or to the di- •: n of the future payments of the Policy. Assurances may be i . IN! either by ONE PAYMENT, made at theaonnnc the assurance, or by ANNUAL PAYMENTS, closing at the end of five, ten, fifteen, or twenty years, at the option of the Assurer; or bv ANNUAL PAYMENTS to the time the assurance shall close.— The lives of females in a state of PREGNANCY, are accepted at the common premium, a small fine only being imposed for the first year's assurance r « nd the ordinary cases of GOUT, HERNIA, a" d several other diseases, may be covered under a small extra charge commensurate to the increased risk.— The lives of NAVAL and MILITARY officers, not engaged in actual service, arc assured at the common rates of premium; and persons do not lose the be- nefit of their assurance by residing ABROAD in any part of the CONTINENT OF EUROPE, provided they proceed thither in decked vessels by any port between the Texel and Havre, and take ship- ment on their return- within the same limits.— The lives of- per- sons OOINO ABROAD, are assured under an extra premium com- mensurate with the additional risk.— Thera is no charge for EN- TRANCE MONEY, or for the policy, beyond the value of the The APPEARANCE of those individuals whose lives arc pro- posed for assurance may be taken every day, Sunday exsepted, at the office of the Company, No. 1, Bartholomew- lane, London, or by any of the Agents of the Company. g t.

The volume before us abounds with useful information, partly the result of the author's own reflection and experience, anil partly selected from our most approved masters in the art of preaching : among whom are Simeon, Horslcy, Blair, Watts, Jay, Dwight, and a host of others, too numerous to particularis'c, whose voluminous writings, in a great measure inaccessible to the class of teachers for whose use the Preacher's Manual is more especially designed, are here laid under contribution, and made to furnish their lessons of instruction either by precept or example."— Neic Baptists' Miscellany, Oct. 1828.

KING'S STOMACHIC and DIGESTIVE CANDY, so justly patronised and approved, for its beneficial effects, in the removal of FlaUilenttPains in the Stomach, Spas- modic Affections, Depression of Spirits, Heartburn, Nervous De- bility, and other complaints, occasioned by a weak and vitiated action of the Digestive Organs; continues to be prepared and sold as usual, by J. R. KING, at his Chemical, Drug, and Patent Medicine Establishment, 21, Market- place, Bath, in boxes at Two Shillings each ( duty included). This valuable Medicine is eminently useful in restoring energy to the digestive organs, exhilarating the spirits, and removing flatulence and obstructions in the stomach, induced by indiges- tion ; and, although containing no narcotic ingredient, is deserv- edly recommended for allaying nervous irritation consequent from a deranged state of the stomach,— to which it restores tone and vigoui, by a process the most mild and gentle. It also promotes an appetite, and invigorates the stomach, enabling the digestive organs to perforin their natural functions with ease, constancy, and expedition. _ . The Stomachic and Digestive Candy is of a warm and stimu- lating nature, and having a tendency to expel wind, proves of the greatest benefit in spasmodic oppressions of the breath, and effec- tually counteracts those sure symptoms of indigestion, weakness and a sensation of voidness at the pit of the otomach; and, by acting as a mild aperient, corrects a torpid state of the bowels, without debilitating or distressing the constitution. The exten- sive demand for the Stomachic and Digestive Candy, and the many highly respectable testimonials of its efiicacy are convincing proofs orits being one of the most effectual, and ( what is seldom connected with Medicine) is the most pleasant and agreeable remedy ever recommended for the relief of nervous disorders in all their various forms.

PROTECTOR INSTITUTION FOR SUPPLYING THE NOBILITY AND GENTRY WITH RESPECTABLE SERVANTS, No. 59, GREAT RUSSELL- STREET, BLOOMSBURY, ' Y'HE difficulty of obtaining good and efficient ser- vants is a subject of common and almost universal complaint with families: in the mean while the causes which conduce to that difficulty are too apparent to be misunderstood. There can be no doubt that respectable servants in every de- partment arc still to be found in number equal to the demand but illicit trading in characters, and interested recommendation^ have generated a system out of which every species of deception has grown to make fabricated characters pass for current! The frequent obtrusions of artful and worthless servants by these means have created general distrust in families, to the preiudice of the worthy and efficient. 1 J It is a distinguishing feature of this Institution ( and a practice confined to this Establishment exclusively), that it takes no pre- mium from Servants when they enter their Names for places; the obvious consequences of which arc, that a greater number of ' Ser- vants are entered on these books than at any other place in Lon- don, and hence the supply more prompt and certain than else- where; and as no obligation subsists between the Institution and the Servants who enter their names, it is clearly the interest of the Proprietor to make a selection of those whose character and qualifications are most likely to do him credit. A close and rigid investigation is made into the character and qualifications of every servant whose name is entered, and the answers to those inquiries are shown to subscribers, as a primary course by which to select those who appear best suited to their purpose, on all occasions; these inquiries, although made with caution and in strong terms, do not preclude families from any course they may think proper to Lake ( or their further satisfaction. It has been considered an ineligible practice to trouble Families by the application of Servants at their own Houses, because a host of applicants always obtrude themselves wherever a vacancy is known to take place; to counteract which a convenient apart- ment in the Institution is appropriated to the exclusive use of Subscribers, and Servants are ordered to attend them at their ap- pointments— this arrangement is, however, subject to any other course that may be considered more expedient. The Female Department is under the management of a highly respectable and well- informed Matron, from whom Ladies will receive the utmost attention. Any further information that may be required may be obtained either at the office of the Institution, from 10 till 4 daily, or im- mediate answers will be given to the favour of inquiries by post. It is particularly requested that all letters may be post- paid. SELECT THEOLOGICAL CIRCULATING LIBRARY, 21, BERNEIIS- STREET, LONDON. Established Jan. 1,1824.

We shall endeavour rigidly to adhere to those sound canons of interpretation which have been laid down by all the orthodox di- vines, and do our utmost to counteract the loose applications, both of fact and of prophecy, which from the time of Grotius have spread so widely on the Continent, and the baleful infection of which has even tainted our own Church Every mode of discussion by which prophetic knowledge may be ad- vanced, we shall endeavour to promote and encourage; while, knowing how often Christian charity suffers in the ardour of con- troversy, we shall endeavour to draw the line between discussion and controversy. . . . Any paper by which a brother may be offended will be rejected, however ably written or from whatever quarter it may come.

" Having been in the habit then, for several years, of remarking this defect of instruction with regard to practical divinity, and the whole business of a Parish Priest, and having myself, meanwhile, been thrown perpetually into the most interesting and awful scenes with my own Parishioners, I determined at length to take up my pen, and to commit to paper whatever, having passed under my personal observation, might be most likely to be useful to others of the same profession."— Author's Preface. 18.

The last accounts from the head- quarters of Count Witt- genstein are of the 7th of December. They state that a Turkish corps of 30,000 men appeared before Paravadi, but that after some insignificant attempts, which did not lead to any serious engagement, the Turks repassed the Kamtschik, and retreated to Aidos. The winter is so extremely severe in Bulgaria, that it is not probable that any important operations can be undertaken; besides, all necessary precautions are taken by the commanders of the corps of the Russian army, the cantonments of which are very strong, both by the nature of the ground, and by the works which have been added to them. It is, therefore, very improbable that any tiling of con- sequence will take place before next spring. PORTUGAL. LISBON, DEC. 13.— The Queen Mother directs all the bu- siness of the State, though she has no ostensible title. Yes- terday the heads of the party met at her house, and held a long conference, the subject of which is not known. The Po- lice has opened all the letters lately arrived from the Brazils: some have been detained, others distributed; but the Brazi- lian newspapers have been suppressed. It i6 known, how- ever, that the Emperor regrets having followed the advice of Austria and England. Passports arc not now given for the province of Alentejo, from whence it is concluded that this province is the scene of extraordinary events. Yesterday a considerable number of soldiers of the garrisons were ar- rested, on account, as it is said, of a secret organization among the military, the object of which is said to be to assist the national troops if they land on the coasts of Portugal. " Wc are not allowed to revoke, in doubt, the bulletin! issued relative to Don Miguel, though their monotony has caused some jests and led to some arrests. It is, however, certain that for thirty- tliretf days Don Miguel has not signed a paper. The money of the public chests, which had been deposited with the Treasurer of the Crown, has been withdrawn from him by the first physician of Don Miguel, who understands finance as well as medicine. He came with a detachment of cavalry, and took away all the Treasurer had. The Bishop of Viseu has shut up all the schools of mutual instruction in Lisbon, because uot above ten per cent, of the inhabitants ought to read if they are to be well governed. The Guerillas are augmenting, and a detachment of sixty men was dispersed by the Guerilla of Santarem, and left twelve prisoners behind. The Yice- Consul of Hamburgh has not been set at liberty, as was stated, but has been placed in better apartments. colonies. Madras Gazettes have been received to the 24- th of August. The following are extracts:— MADRAS, AUO. 20.— We learn, by the last advices from Calcutta, that the Lord Bishop of Calcutta is better, though a trip to sea is still considered indispensable to the restoration of his Lordship's health. By the Indian Oak we learn that the town of Rangoon, in consequence of its not having been drained since the British left the place, has become very unhealthy, and the mortality so great that the Woonghy, under the persuasion that some evil spirit had introduced the prevailing sickness, had ordered guns to be fired to drive him out of the town. Rangoon was never known to be so unhealthy as it is at present. • BOMBAY.— A smart shock of an earthquake was felt at Bhooj, in Cutch, on Sunday, the 20th of July, about one P. M., and, although it does not appear that any accident has hap- pened there or in the surrounding neighbourhood, the vibra- tion was great. The shock, as far as can be judged, was from east to west. The monsoon in Cutch promises to be very favourable, and the Ryots, who had migrated to Sind, from a dread of famine, are now fast returning to sow their native fields.— Bombay Courier, Aug. 9. CEYLON.— With sentiments of regret we record the death of Lieut- Colonel Hugh Fraser, commanding the Royal Artillery in Ceylon, on June 30.— Ceylon Gazelle, July 5.

At sea, on board the shig Prince Regent, June 17, Lieut- Col. The Marquis de Maubreuil summoned, on the 12th instant, Prince Talleyrand, the High Chamberlain,. be- fore the Justice of Peace of the First Quarter of Paris, to pay him the sum of 2,478,850 francs, damages and interest, for the losses which he caused him to suffer ; in consequence of the mission, which, according to him, thfe Prince confided to him. in 1814, when he was President of the Provisional Govern- ment. Prince Talleyrand suffered judgment to be entered against him by default on the 16th inst— Gazette de France. The ease of the French Priest Dumonteil, who claimed, under the present laws of France, the right of marry- ing, has been for some time before the Cour ltoyale in the shape of an appeal. It was decided against him on Saturday, with costs. PARISIAN COACHES.— The tricycles, the new species of carriage for public accommodation, were started nt Paris on, the 25th. The tricycles is a kind of coach, as long as the om- nibus or dames blanches, mounted, as the name indicates, on three wheels, and is drawn by two horses only. It moves very lightly, although there is an appearance of weight about it The idea of them must have been suggested by the pro- jected steam- carriages; one wheel is placed exactly as the leading- wheel of the steam- coach: it is capable of containing twenty persons, whom it conveys distances of at least tliree i miles for five sous each. Never was there invented or pro- posed any matter so conducive to the convenience and the comfort. of the inhabitants of a city as the omnibus, dames blanches, and tricycles. You meet them traversing Paris in every direction, and may be transported in them, with an ease and a celerity beyond your expectation ( and for so small a sum as about twopence farthing of your money), over three miles of the wettest city in the universe; for every body knows that Thames- street, in the midst of winter, offers a comfortable promenade compared with the finest streets of Paris.— Paris Letter. There were, according to the Presbyterial reports, added to the communion of the Churches within the boundaries of the Synod of Kentucky, the last year, 3,300; whole number at the date of said reports, 6,682, making an addition in one year nearly equal to the whole number in the Church previous to that time.— Boston Recorder. PASSAGE BETWEEN NEW YORK AND LIVERPOOL.— The fol- lowing is a statement of the passages made by the different ships, and masters employed in the Old Line, from 1818 to 1827 inclusive, embracing a period of ten years, and com- prising 188 complete voyages:— After some consultation among the magistrates, Mr. LUCAS desired to know whether counsel hod any thing to add. - Mr. BRADY said there were but two questions for consider- ation— what is an unlawful assembly, and whether the meeting at Monaghan bore that character"? He had stated what he doemed to be the law, and he had laid before the Bench the circumstances which characterized that meeting. If there were any point on which the Bench desired more information, he felt it his duty to do what he could to assist them. Mr. LUCAS Baid, that the Bench was ready to hear any ad- ditional observation of counsel. Mr. DACRE HAMILTON asked whether counsel thought this a case for the assizes ? Mr. BRADY.— Beyond all doubt: such misdemeanours are never tried at sessions. , Mr. HAMILTON*— I am directed by the Bench to inquire' whether these informations were laid before any other tri- bunal?

The shortest passage from New York to Liverpool, w; made by the ship New York, Captain George Maxwell, in December, 1823, being 16 days. The longest passage from New York to Liverpool, was made by the ship Nestor, Captain S. G. Macy, in December, 1820, and January, 1821, being 37 days. The shortest passages from Liverpool to New York, \ yeTO made by the ship Amity, Captain George Maxwell, in April, 1819, and by the ship Columbia, Captain Rogers, in February, 1824, being 22 days. The longest passage from Liverpool to New York, was made by the ship Pacific, Captain Croker, in December, 1827, and January and February, 1828, being 71 days. The passages are not reckoned from land to land, as is sometimes the case, but from one city to another. AGRICULTURE IN CANADA.— In the new settlements of Ca- nada some of the farmers sow oats as late as July and the be- ginning of August for winter fodder; it is cut late in the fall, put into small sheaves as soon as cut, and stooked with a sheaf, the stubble end being uppermost, spread on the top, to secure it against rain. It keeps green during the whole winter, is brought in as wanted, and is the very best food for milch cows, horses and other cattle. When the frost sets in severely, it produces a singular effect on several sorts of trees, by drying the leaves when still green and causing them to adhere longer than usual. At a Consistory held at Rome within the last fortnight, eight Prelates were elevated to the dignity of Car- A serious accident occurred on the 21st ult. at Naples. The cupola of the church at Torre del Greco fell down with a tremendous crash, and not less than fifty persons were killed on the spot, besides a number wounded. Domestic, rag, Esq.

L GIBRALTAR, DEC.- 20.— About ten days ago tlie Fever Ad- mission Report was reduced to one case, and I cxpccted that in a few days more I might be able to say, " at last the fatal malady, which has swept off so many of our countrymen, has ceased;" but when our hopes were raised by a blast of westerly wind, and the Jiill of the thermometer, they were- speedily blighted by the return of the wind from the cast; and the fol - lowing day the report of admissidns but too truly verified our fears. The rainy season, which has usually taken place about ( he miduJa of October, did not commence this year until the ftth of November, and continued only for about a week. Sincc that period there has been a constant succession of the scorch- ing easterly wind, and to it may be attributed the prevalence of the malady. The tlvemiometer remaihs ten degrees higher than is usual at this season ; indeed, nothing can be more un- healthy tlian the atmosphere of this rock sincc the commence- ment of the fever. The Peaks of the Luirra de Ronua, which are very rarely without their caps of snow in November and December, (. till want a covering, whose influence extends even to this place. In Drinkwater's Siege of Gibraltar I find tliat three hundred and thirty three men were killed, and one hundred and thirty- eight disabled, during the three years; so that our military alone have lost a greater number of men, during the last three months, from fever, than from the fire of an enemy in a three- years siege. Dr. Chcrvin, and two other medical men, arrived from Paris about the middle of November. They decline giving any opinion or advice, but make a careful register of each case. Chcrvin is a non- contagionist, and, by experiments upon him- self, proves that he, at least, is fever- proof. The mercurial system seems in a great measure to have been " knocked on the head," and the milder practice of constant doses of oil is the One now in use. Chlorine, in its combination with ladinm, is used among some of the medical men. The theory must be " to orydize the system." As a purifier of morbid atmosphere, chlorine is invaluable; but wc have yet to learn what efTect it will produce in yellow fever. SANDWICH ISLANDS Captain Worth, who lately arrived at Nantucket, from the Southern Ocean, reports that Kauikeaoule, King of the Sandwich Islands, has purchased the splendid brig Taraaahmah. This vessel was built by Henry Eckford, Esq., in 1824 -, expressly for the King of these islands. She arrived out in the remarkable passage of 112 days, and at the time of her departure from New York, was considered by judges to be excelled by no vessel of her class in the United States, for beauty of model, and elegance of accommodation. The Mis- sionaries who sailed from Boston for the Sandwich Islands in November, 1827, arrived at Oahu in April last. IRELAND. CATHOLIC' ASSOCIATION.—' The Association adjourned on Tuesday last for a week. One of the Irish papers, however, published a fictitious account of alleged pro- ceedings of the Association on Christmas- day, which has been copied by other English and Irish Journals, appa- rently without any doubt of their reality. A great meeting of the Protestants of Ireland, in favour of the Roman Catholic Claims, is to take place at Dublin, on the 20th inst The foUowing is among the Reso- lutions to be proposed at the meeting:— " 11. That wc adopt the sentiments contained in the Pro- testant declaration, signed by their Graces the Dukes of Lein- ster and Devonshire, and by 7 Marquisses, 26 Earls, 11 Vis- counts, 22 Barons, 2 Counts, 22 Baronets, 52 members of the House of Commons, and upwards of 2,000 gentlemen of othet classes; and that our noble Chairman be instructed to present to His Majesty, together with our petition, a copy of that de- claration, with the signatures attached to it " 12. That the petition now read and founded on those Resolutions be adopted by the meeting, and presented to both Houses of Parliament— that to the Lords by , and that to the House of Commons by MONAGHAN PETTY SESsIONS. On Tuesday last, about one o'clock, the following magis- trates, Lucas, of Castleshane; Hon. Richard Westeura, Dacre Hamilton, and Ralph Dudgeon, Esqrs., took their places on the benclL Major Richardson was also present, but took no part in the proceedings. Mr. J. C. BRADY addressed the Bpnch, and said he had the honour of appearing before them for the purpose of pre- ferring informations against the Right Hon. Lord Blayney, the Hon. Evelyn John Shirley, Charles Powell Leslie, Esq., Edward Richardson, Esq., the Rev. Romney Robinson, the Rev. Henry Lucas St George, and Mr. Alexander Mitchell; for that tlley, with others, unlawfully assembling in the town of Monaghan, on the 10th of October last, to the terror of His Majesty's peaccable subjects, and against His Majesty's peace. I hold in my hand draughts of informations, to which seven inhabitants of this town of Monaghan arc ready to dc-. pose. The substance of the allegations contained in them is shortly this:— That on the 10th of October, about ten or eleven o'clock, a trumpet was sounded, and bodies of men were seen collecting towards the town from the direction in which the trumpet was sounded; that other bodies were seen advancing in other directions, in military procession, with flags flying, drums and fifes playing, swords drawn, and many of the persons composing these processions bearing fire- arms that one of these bodies marched through the street or place called the Diamond, with a fife playing, and an orange flag carried before them, between 12 and 1 o'clock, when a great number of persons were there assembled— Lord Blayney and the other individuals whom wc charge being then on the balcony of the inn, in the Diamond, his Lordship acting as Chairman, and Mr. Mitchell as Secretary, to the Meeting; that this armed procession drew up at a public- house there, and that soon after several shots were firqd thereabouts, and many of the inhabitants were seen flying in terror to their houses; that the individuals who formed this procession returned to the Diamond, many of them bearing arms, and that they and others participated in the proceedings of the meeting with arms in their hands: that a concoursc of persons, to the number of 3,000 and upwards, were assembled in the Diamond, Lord Blaynoy presiding, and that the multitude was addressed by Mr. Shirley, Colonel Leslie, Mr. Romney Robinson, Mr. St George, and by several others; and that Major Richardson took an active part in the proceedings; that language of the most inflammatory character was addressed to the multitude ; that one of the speakers, Mr. Mayne, called on the multitude to provide themselves with arms, and to hold themselves in readiness, as they would soon want them: where- upon a most violent feeling was exhibited by the multitude, orange and purple ribands were displayed, ami a shot was fired; that another of the speakers told the multitude that lie was : ady to put himself at their head, whereupon many of the persons assembled shewed signs of great rage and passion; that after the meeting was broken up, bodies of men with flags, military music and arms, were seen marching out of town. All the deponents concur in this, that the appearance and demeanour of the meeting was calculated to inspire terror, and did inspire terror and apprehension for the safety of their lives in the individuals themselves, and it is added that the town was kept iu a state of alarm during the night of the day on which the meeting was held. Here the learned counsel read the draughts of the deposi- tions of William Murray, Esq., M. D.; Michael M'Quade, woollen- draper; Matthew Valely, factor; James Murphy, gentleman ; Neal Quin, school master; William Kenna, dealer, and Thomas Connor, hostler, inhabitants of the town of Mo- naghan. lie then read a definition of an unlawful assembly from Russell's book on Crimes and Misdemeanours, and cer- tain passages founded on the case of Hunt Mr. LUCAS.— In the case of Mr.' Hunt there was a charge of exciting discontent and sedition, I cannot think it is a case mr. BRADY.— There were several charges against Mr- Hunt: one was a conspiracy to excite sedition ; but there was also a charge of an unlawful assembly ; and the passages to which I referred arc found under that head in this book, and are founded on the charge of Mr. Justicc Bayley. I do not at- tribute to the meeting at Monaghan the intent with which Mr. Hunt was chargcd. I rely on its tendency to excite terror, by means of the circumstances which I have detailed, as constituting it an unlawful assembly. Mr. BRADY.— Depositions to nearly the same effect were submitted to His Majesty's Government, but they have de- clined to interfere. I beg leave, however, to submit to the Bench, that in respect to such applications, His Majesty's. Government always coiuider two questions:— first, whether an offence lias been committed; and, secondly, whether it be one which requires theit special interposition. It does not therefore follow that an offence has not been committed, be- cause Government declines tp interfere. Mr. HAMILTON.— This meeting was held on the 10th of October; why were not informations preferred before this Mr. BRADY.— Your last interrogatory has suggested the answer. While the depotitions were before Government, it would hardly have been proper to proceed in another way. The Government having declined to interfere, wc now resort to the ordinary tribunal. After some consultation, it was resolved by the Bench to take time to consider the informations, and Tuesday, the 20th of Jamiary, was fixed for the final consideration of the matter. Mr. HAMILTON said, it had come upon them somewhat by surprise, and that the delay would afford them an opportunity of apprising the parties charged, and of consulting with their legal advisers. Mr. BRADY said, he did not complain of the delay. The charge was one of a grave nature, well worthy of the most serious consideration. As to the parties being unapprised, he understood it was not the practice to issue summonses from this Court to persons of ranlc. Mr. LUCAS said, that lie was not aware that any such dis- tinction was made. Mr. BRADY.— I am happy to hear you say so, Sir, as there should be no such distinction. However, I understand the Bench to undertake, on this occasion, to apprise the parties. Mr. WESTENRA said it should be done. It is yet uncertain if the intended reduction in the militia staff will extend to Ireland. The original circular from Government is addressed only to Lords Lieutenant of the counties of England, and no official communication on the subject has been received in this country.— Dublin Even. Post. MILITARY OUTRAGE.— At eight o'clock last night a riot of a very serious nature, occurred between some of the soldiers of the 53d regiment, now stationed in Dublin, and a number of watchmen of the Arran- quay division. The soldiers drew their bayonets upon the watchmen, and also upon a man named Wilkinson, living in Silver street, who had the man that attacked him immediately arrested by the picquet A watch- man, named Landers, was also assailed by two soldiers, whom he beat back; but was in a short time afterwards> attacked by a party consisting of upwards of forty soldiers. Robert Donaldson went to the barracks to report the riotous conduct of the soldiers, and, instead ofrecciving- any assistance, he was attacked by Serjeant Chambers, of the 53d, who would not admit him inside the barrack- gate. In the course of the riot, a watchman, named Murphy, had his pole broken, and Neil M'Connell, a watchman, pointed out to one of the serjeants, a soldier who had taken a pole from him; but the serjeant refused to take him into custody. This outrage shortly investigated. SCOTLAND. GLASGOW.— Under the title of Bills of Mortality, copious and interesting tables have been published by Dr. Cleland, the able and active Superintendent of Works in Glasgow. From these tables, it appears, that the number of burials, in Glasgow and its suburbs, in the year ending on the 15th inst., was 5,942, and in the preceding year 5,136. The number of marriages was 1,866. The register of baptisms is worth no- thing, as it does not include those of dissenters. The popu- lation of Glasgow and its suburbs in 1821, was 147,000; and Dr. Cleland infers from data furnished by the tables, that it must now be about 213,000. It is now, therefore, in all pro- bability, more populous thau Dublin, or any other city in the empire, except the capital. We hear that the Trustees of Mr. Thomas Mo- rison, who left 20,000*. to be laid out in establishing a seminary for the education of youth, are about to settle the iroposed Institution somewhere in the south of Scotland.— ' erth Courier. • » About four o'clock on the afternoon of Tuesday week, a smart shock of an earthquake was felt at Comrie, being the third time within the last four months. A loud thundering noise accompanied and followed the shock, which was heard eastward at the distance of 12 miles.— Perth Courier. PHENOMENA.— On the west side of the Monkland and Kirkintilloch Railway, about 400 yards above the tunnel which passes underneath the Cumbernauld road, near Bcdlay, arc several acres of ground, containing such a quantity of hydrogen gas, that in several places, by cutting out a single piece of the surface with a spade or shovel, and applying a lighted candle to the place, it immediately takes firef and will burn a long time. There are at present three or four of these places that have burned at least ten days, and are still burning as strong as when first lighted up. None of the earth or soil is consumed, but the supply of the gas seems fully equal to the combustion. In some of the places the appearance of the flame resembles pure hydrogen— in others, the flame has the appearance of be- ing mixed with other gasses. To those gentlemen who are in the habit of making synthetic or analytic experiments, it would afford an opportunity of examining those different gasses on a large scale, and with perfect safety, ( a tiling rarely to be met with) as the whole may be inspected in the open fields in day- light, surrounded by the common atmosphere, and little doubt can be entertained that if a few bladders, having stop- cocks, were at hand, any quantity, of gas might be procured for those persons who may have a proper apparatus and time for carry- ing on such experiments. The circumstances which led to the discovery of this strange phenomenon were the following:— A lime- stone pit had lately been sunk down to the depth of about thirteen fathoms; beneath the bed of limestone a very great quantity of water came off, more than the engine could draw; upon which a lighted lamp was put down to sec if the water gained upon the engine, when it immediately took fire and burned on the top of the water at the bottom of the pit, for some days. As the water did not seem to abate, a sus- picion obtained that thore was some communication between the Bathlin Bum and the pit The men who went to examine the burn observed a great quantity of bubbles on the water in the burn, and withal thought they heard a noise of water running immediately below the surface, in the field near thp burnside; when, cutting down about two feet deep, to their astoiiishment they found no water at alL A person being present who was a little acquainted with the nature of hydrogen' gas, put his head down the hole to try to hear the sound of the water running, and immediately found the smell of hydrogen gas. A light being procured and applied to the place, it took fire, and burned for some days, until it was drowned by the water of the late floods. Afterwards other places were tried about a quarter of a mile or 600 yards from the former place, and these latter places are burning to this hour.— Glasgow Herald. HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY, EDINBURGH, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 24. The following is the Lord Justice Clerk's address in passing sentence on the prisoner Burke:— The LORD JUSTICE CLERK—" William Burke, you now stand convicted by the verdict of an intelligent and respectable jury, of the atrocious murder charged against you in the indictment, upon evidence which could not leave a doubt of your guilt oi the mind of any one who heard it I so fully concur in tin view which has been so eloquently given by my learned brothe of the nattlre of tlie offence, that I will not occupy the time of the Court with commenting on it. A crime more atrocious, a more cold- blooded, deliberate, and systematic preparation for murder, and the motive so pidtry, is unexampled iu the an- pals of the country. It is now my duty to inform you, that if ever it was clear beyond all possibility of doubt that sen- tence would in any case be carried into full execution, this is one of those cases. You may rest assured that you have no other chance; and I would now solemnly warn you to pre- pare your mind in the most suitable manner to appear in a very short time before the throne of Almighty God, to answer for this crime, and for every other with which you stand chargcable in your own conscience. The necessity carried into execution, at the usual time and place, on the 28th of January next." The scene was altogether awful and- impressive. The pri- soner stood up with unshaken firmness. Not a muscle of his features was discomposed during the solemn address of the Lord Justice Clerk consigning him to his doom. The female prisoner was much agitated, and was drowned in tears during the whole of this melancholy procedure. After the trial, Burke and M'Dougal were removed to die lock- up- house, whither Hare and his wife had been conveyed after giving their evidence. They were detained there till four o'clock yesterday morning, when Burke, Hare, and his wife were taken to the gaol ; M'Dougal was liberated last night, having been only detained in the lock- up- house for her personal protection. Wc understand that Hare lias made some disclosures in which he confesses having been concerned in no less than 12 different acts of murder, in some of which he was the principal, and in others an accessory, and that he knew of another, in which, however, lie was not a part)-. Burke, previous to his trial, stated in conversation to those near him, that he had made up his mind for die worst, being certain that he would be convicted, which may in some mea- sure account for the apathy and apparent indifference which he maintained during the trial, and particularly when the awful sentence or the law was pronounced upon him. Since his conviction he is apparendy penitent. In his religious opinions wc understand he is a Roman Catholic. FURTHER PARTICULARS. ( From the Caledonian Mercury, Dec. 29.) As the intense excitement produce^ by the disclosures made in the course of the late trial has in no degree subsided, and as die public must be desirous to learn every thing that can be gleaned respecting the West- Port tragedies, or the actors in these horrid scenes, we throw together a few particulars which we have collected, and which, at the present moment, can scarcely fail, we should think, to prove interesting to our readers. Tbe following is an authentic narrative of the cir- cumstances attending the apprehension of Burke and his in- fernal gang:— [ The paper then details the circumstances of die case al- ready tried.] Wc observe it stated, that Hare has, since the trial, made important disclosures, in which he confesses having bean concerned in no less than twelve different acts of muhler, in some of which lie was the principal, in others an acces- sory ; and that he knew of another, though lie was not in any way a party to the commission of it. We see no reason to question the correctness of this statement. The wretch i6 evidendy disposed to be communicative ; and, had he been permitted, we have little doubt that lie would have revealed as much in the witness- box. But the public may expect still more astounding disclosures. We have learned from good authority, that Burke admits having sold in all ( we shall not say to whom) from thirty to thirty- five uninterred bodies during the last two years. His counsel, indeed, as- sumed, in the course of the very able pleadings for the defence, that he was by trade a resurrectionist, a body- snatcher, one whose profession it was to furnish materiel for the dissecting- room ; and, arguing upon this presumption, they contended that die ordinary presumption arising from the fact of a dead body, with marks of violence upon it, having been found in. the pos- session of the panel Burke, could have no place in the case of an individual who pursued the disgusting traffic, and whose business it was to deal in dead bodies. But, as we stated on a former occasion, when the fact of these horrid atrocities having been committed first transpired, Burke was not a resurrectionist. The circumstance of Burke's being unknown as such, therefore, ( which we learned from undoubted authority), we considered as almost decisive of the mode in which he had been accustomed to obtain or to make subjects ; and accord- ingly the wretch has now admitted that he was not a resur- rectionist,— that neither Hare nor himself were ever by the side of a grave in a churchyard for the purpose of plundering it,— and that die bodies they disposed of were bodies which had never been interred. If it be true, then, as Burke now states, that in the course of the last two years he sold to one individual from thirty to forty uninterred bodies, the conclusion is inevitable, that he and his asso- ciates must have committed as many murders! Nor are diere wanting other circumstances tending to corroborate this repressing, crimes of this nature precludes the possibility of mitigating your sentence. The only doubt I have in ray mind is, whether, to satisfy tho violated laws of your country, and the voice of public indignation, your hotly ought not to be exhibited in chains, to bleach in the winds, in order to deter others from the commission of similar offences. But taking into consideration that the public eye would be offended by so dismal a spectacle, I am willing to accede to a more lenient execution of your sentence, and that your body should be publicly dissected. I trust, that if it is evur customary to preserve skeletons, your skeleton will be preserved, in order t| iat posterity may keep in remembrance your atrocious crimes. I earnestly advise you to lose no time in humbling yourself iu the sight of God, and that you will seek' the aid of the ministers of religion tn whatever profession you may be- long. The present charges hnving been fully established against you, it is my duty to inform you that you have but a few days to remain on the earth. his Lordship then pro- nounced, with due solemnity, the sentence of the law, to be terrific suspicion, to give it no stronger epithet Connecting this with the exuviae found in the den of murder occupied by Burke, we confess our conviction has been strengthened. The girl Patcrson, or Mitchell, was one of them, but not the only one ; and she Was murdered in the house of his brother, Con- stantine Burke. In Burke's own house, however, there are still appearances visible which must impress every one with a persuasion that others besides Docherty have been sacrificed under the same roof. Bloody straw in a corner, a heap of bloody clothes on the floor, and a pile of old boots and shoes, amounting to several dozens ( for which the miscreant's pre- tended trade of a shoemaker can never account), seem to us strong indications that the den of the monster, now so justly condemned to die, has been the scene of manifold murders. Many persons have been to see this horrid place, and all have left it impressed with the same conviction. The author of Waverley, who also visited it, admits, we understand, that even his imagination, with all its richness, fertility, and power, could have portrayed nothing at all equal to the dreadful realities of Burke's residence. The robbers' cave in Count Fathom loses all character for the horrible compared with it We arc satisfied that the public do not yet know a tithe of the truth, and that there arc still hid more horrid things ( if, indeed, that be possible), than those which have been revealed. An investigation of the most searching kind is due alike to the public and to the teachers of anatomy themselves, many of whom are suffering most unjustly from the odium which the late disclosures are calculated to throw on the necessary and indispensable science which it is their business to teach, and which we know they have taught in a manner which, if known, would prove equally creditable to themselves and satisfactory to the country. All the anatomical teachers, therefore, and others who use cadavera for their classes, both within and without the University, ought to be examined as to the manner in which they are accustomed to receive their subjects. And, in particular, the students and assistants ( during the last two sessions) of one gentleman whose name has uufortunately been too much mixed up with the late proceedings, ought to undergo an examination as to the quarter whence bodies were procured, the state in which they were received, the manner in which they were dissected, & c. This wc think indispen- sably necessary for the vindication of the teachers of anatomy themselves, as well as for allaying the excitement which at present exists in the public mind. ENGLAND. MEETING OF THE CLERGY AT TOTNES. On Thursday, a most numerous meeting of the Clergy within the Archdeaconry of Totnes, took place at the Seven Stars Inn, Totnes, for the purpose of petitioning both Houses of Parliament against making any further concessions to the Roman Catholics. The Rev. Archdeacon FROUDE was unanimously called to the chair. He observed, that lie had taken upon himself to call the Clergy of his diocese together, in comp'iancc with the request contained in a numerously signed requisition that had been presented to him. The petition having been read, The Rev. C. BARTER, Yicar of Cornworthy, moved its adop- tion by the meeting, which was seconded by The Rev. JOHN YONGE, Rector of Newton Ferrers. The Rev. Mr. JONES, of North Bovey, said that ho rose foi the purpose of moving an amendment to the petition with mingled feelings of sorrow and satisfaction. In the enlight- ened principles of the present age, the deep- rooted prejudices against the Catholics were fast dying away, and all the natior of the earth were removing from them any civil disabiliiii under which they laboured. It was therefore with sorrow that he saw so respectable a body of the established Clergy met to- gether to agree to such a petition as had just been read. The Rev. Mr. FULWORTII replied to the arguments made use of by the Rev. Mr. Jones. The Rev. Mr. OXNAM followed on the same side. I eluded by calling on the Meeting to forward petitions, and to hold up the rights of the Constitution, Church, and State, as by law established. ( Cheers.) The Rev. Chancellor MARTIN dissented from the petition, but would not go so far as to second the amendment proposed by Mr. Jones. The Rev. Mr. LYTE next addressed the Meeting, and at great length combatted the arguments of the Rev. Mr. Jones, in favour of granting the Roman Catholic Claims. The Rev. Mr. Jones's amendment not being seconded, the original motion was then put from the chair, and carried, without the necessity of a show of hands, the Meeting being unanimous as to the propriety of the petition. The other resolutions were then carried, aud the Meeting dispersed, after signing the Petition. THE EARL OF GUILFORD'S LIBRARY.— The sale of the first part of the late Earl of Guilford's valuable aud extensive library has been just closed by Mr. Evans, of Pall- mall, having occupied eight days. The sale was attended by several emi- nent collectors, and among the principal purchasers were Lord Sheffield, Lord Harry Vane, the Bishop of Limerick, Count Maltara, Mr. P. Hurd, Colonel Latter, Messrs. Long- man, & c. This portion of the library contained several tracts of extraordinary rarity. Among them was one entitled " Ex- positio fidelis dc Morte Thorns Mori," printed at Antwerp in 1536. This volume contains some curious anecdotes re- specting tho persecution and decapitation of Bishop Fisher. This volume was purchased, after much competition, by Mr. Bohn, the bookseller, at 51. " Joanuis Dudlaei Northumbrian Nuper in Anglia Ducis jam turn securi percutiendi ail Popu lum Londineiisem Concio," sold for 42/. There is but one copy of this tract known, and that is in the Pope's library at the Vatican. The Bishop of Limerick gave 14/. 3s. 6d. for " Ephraem Syri Opera " ERRATUM.— In the letter of " A Zealous protestant," in No. 103, for * beheaded him in his capital," read " bearded him in his capital." CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT OF THE RQME AND We have been favoured' by j Correspondent with > a letter lately rececived from Mr. Wolff, the mis- sionary, who, together with Lady Georgiana, is still labouring m the Levant. It contains the copy of a letter in Italian, sent to Mr. Wolff by the President of the College of the Propaganda, at Rome. The President most earnestly endeavours to induce, if possible, Mr. Wolff's return into the bosom of the Romish Church, and speaks with much horror of his associating with " the emissaries of the Bible Society, which has been solemnly proscribed by the Apostolic Constitutions." At the same time, he expresses his confidence that Wolff will not aid " these wicked men in their detestable operations!!" This letter furnishes another proof ( if any is want- ing) of the unchanged principles of the Romish apostacy,— of its restless zeal and proselytizing spirit,— of the eagerness with which it watches the progress of the Reformation, and the dread it en- tertains of the circulation of the Scriptures. Mr. Wolff's letter is an interesting specimen of the " naivete" of this extraordinary man, and we conceive many of our readers will be gratified by a perusal of the correspondence.

My answer, which is not only an answer to the letter of the President ( Rettore) of the Propaganda, but likewise an answer to the Bull of the Pope sent to Mount Lebanon, in which Bull I was declared to be at the head of the Methodists, and Agent of the Bible Society:— Bible Society " To the Reverend Mr. Raymando Serdomenici, " Rettore of the College of the Propaganda at Rome. " Damiat, 28th Sept. 1828. " My dear friend, " Your letter of the year 1824 reached me not sooner than yes- terday, which I was sorry for, for you might consider my silence as a mark of disrespect, and forgetfulness of all the kindness I received at Rome, both of which are not the case, for though now altogether separated from the Church of Rome, to which separation I was induced, as well by the powerful command of my conscience, as the conduct of the Court of Rome towards me, I still never ceased to acknowledge, in England and every where else, even in the midst of Protestants, not only the personal kindness I received at Rome, but likewise the grand and energetic exertions of the Court of Rome for tlie propaga- if tion of her principles; and, therefore, surely I would not have hesitated a moment answering your letter, but at the time you wrote your letter I was already in Persia, proclaiming the Gospel of Christ to the Jews thert?; then I went back to England, was married to the daughter of tlie Earl of Orford, and am now returned, and yesterday I received your letter, and I will now be as plain as possible : I am not agent to the British and Fo- reign Bible Society, for that Society considers me to be too wild and imprudent to be their regular agent, but they furnish me with the copies of the Word of God for distribution among Jews, Turks, Persians, and Christians. If the Propaganda would furnish me with Bibles printed at Rome, without the Apocrypha, I promise to prefer them to those of London. I am not the head of the Methodists, as Cardinal della Somaglia wrote. I dislike the Church discipline of the Wesleyan^ w - Methodists more than I do that of the Church of Rome." ^^ am, my dear friend, a Jew, redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ, whom I believe to be, with the Father and the Holy Ghost, my only God, anil whom I consider to be my Saviour and ray only High Priest, who was once offered for us all, to be an atonement for our sins'; and I am, my dear Sir, a Jew who is called of the Lord to lash the Gentile Roman Catholic and Protestant Churches, by telling them, as Paul told the Romans ( Chap, xi.), that they shall be cut off, while the Jews will be grafted in again. You see thus, that I ain impartial towards both the Catholics and the Protestants; but stillJ must ask a question,— If Rome is such an affectionate mother, why did she proscribe me'to an immoral people like tliat in the East, and thus expose her son to the rage of ignorant Christians, who are, for the sake of money, to- day Catholics, and to- morrow Greeks? That impostor, Consignor Petrus Giarve, took 800/. English, in England, from Protestants, for the purpose of printing Bibles, and, arriving in Syria, denies the fact; and to such people Cardinal della Somaglia exposed me by his letter to Monsignor Gandolfi. But Cardinal della Somaglia hated me when nt Rome, and lie prophesied that I should be an Hcresiarch. Let the Propaganda allow me to lay before it my difficulties in believing in the Church of Rome aud then dismiss safely, and I come to Rome at the first summons. I was harshly treated in Ireland by Doctor Doyle. I felt, from my childhood, the vocation of preach- in" that which is truth, and after finding the Gospel ; the truth, I burnt from desire of preaching the Gospel of Christ. Rome cut off to me all hopes of ever realizing that object. Rome made me wander into a Convent of Friars, who prohibited to me the reading the Scriptures, called by S. Gre- gory ' Panis Vila-.' They taught me to flagellate myself, but not to preach the Gospel of Clirist; and besides this, I must confess, that the doctrine of transubstantiarion is a doctrine, an idolatrous which I do not see revealed in Scripture. Christ never said, ' Ilic panis transubstantiatur in corpus nuum nor can 1 find in Scripturc the supremacy of the Pope, for Simon Bar Jona was a Rock ( Petrus), i. e. the founder of the Church of Christ, by his prcacliing at Jerusalem that Jesus was the Son of God, but never the Head of the Apostles. Paul with- stood him to tlie face. If Peter had been the superior of St. Paul, lie would have banished him, as the Pope did me. 1 loved Pius VII., and I loved Cardinal Litta, mid I tenderly loved the Propaganda, and therefore it did cost me much to appear as opponent of a Church in whiob so many excellent members are, as Count Stolberg, Pius VII., Card'iual Odes- chalchi, Monsignor Testa and Menochio; but a powerful appeal of the Spirit from above got finally the advantage of my carnal mind. I am, as said, not united with the British and Foreign Bible Socicty, but I am Agent of the London Socicty for Promoting Christianity among the Jcv. s, and the Propaganda itself would delight in seeing converted the Jews; would, perhaps, the Propaganda allow me to come to Rome, in order that I might preach there to the Jewsand I would with pleasure listen to any argument proposed from tlit sacred Scriptures to me— by this standard I will either stand or fall. You speak very affectionately, but I do not know that if I was to come lo Rome whether Cardinal della Somaglia woidd uot put me out of tender affection into a dungeon, as the Patriarch of Mount Lebanon did Asaad Shidiak, when converted to the truth, and who is now still in prison, put into it by his' affec- tionate spiritual father; just as Simon Georis, Archbishop of Jezira, told me, when 1 met him in Persia—' They have caught me by words sweet like honey, and given inc to drink the cup of bitterness:' but I shall be always rejoiced to rcceivc letters from you, as I am always heartily rcjoiced to see one, or to hear from one of the Propaganda; and you may be iKsured that I was exceedingly glad to see your handwriting, but my categorical answer is, 1st, ' That I am a believer iu Jesus Christ, but not a Roman Catholic. 2d, That I am not, nor ever desired to be, an Agent of the Bible Socicty, though 1 approve cordially of their object, without agreeing with every one of the proceedings of that Socicty. 3d, That I was Missionary to the Jews for six years without belonging to any Society whatsoever, but am now in connection with the I. on- lon Society for Promoting Christianity among the Jews. HI., That I protest against being a Methodist ' ith, That I have not taken any step without, aud therefore do not repent of my proceedings, for the last eight years; for my letters to Rome after my banishment shew that I had no vindictive spirit, 6th, Tliat I am ready to justify myself at Rome, if thtj \ Mk Court of Rome will not retain me after my defence, and do with me as they did with John HUM at Constance, whom they burnt alive. " I remain, 4 " Dear Father Rector, u Your thankful and affectionate friend, " JOSEPH WOLFF. " P. 9.— The medals I received ai a prize when in the Collegio Romano, and some books of the Propaganda pro- mised me hy dear Cardinal Litta, together with my own, have never been seat to me; I shall be most obliged to send all to Alexandria."

This morning a very numerous Meeting took place of the Subscribers to Lloyd's Coffee House, for the purpose of con- sidering resolutions for expelling certain members of the es- tablishment, who have been found guilty of acts of fraud on the Underwriters. The case has created an unusual degree of excitement. The Lord Mayor took the Chair at twelve o'clock. The Secretary read the Resolutions of the Committee for expelling Messrs. Hoskins and Russell, for having made false returns on policies, and thereby defrauded the Underwriters.— Resolution* were also proposed for voting 740L towards the expenses incurred in the case of fraud respecting the Diana ; also for granting a sum of money to five men who hail saved the lives of about eighteen men belonging to a vessel ship- wrecked off the Dingle. The LORD MAYOR said, that it was a matter of regret that in this great commercial country men could be found to act as Messrs. Hoskins and Russell had acted. He could not but believe that the course now about to be pursued with respect to tliose individuals would meet with cordial concurrence. ( Hear, hear.) If the Resolutions bo adopted they would tend to prevent such practices in future. Another Resolution was, that the resignation of Mr. Gray, oneof the Masters, be accepted, who was desirous to resign on account of ill health, and that a sum of money be allowed him annually. Mr. DEW ART would not take up much of the time of the Meeting. It was known that, some time tince, Messrs. Hoskins and Ilussell had been guilty of fraud, and the subscribers were called upon to administer ample justice. He went into an ex- Elanation of the circumstances of this case, which were well nown. He had no desire himself to prosccute the parties, being one of the individuals concerned in the losses sustained. Messrs. Hoskins and Russell had tendered their resignation, which of course had not been received. After some further remarks, he moved the Resolution for the expulsion of Messrs. Hoskins and Russell, and that they should not avail themselves of the 12th bye- law, rendering them eligible to re- election. Mr. LINDSAY seconded the motion. Mr. SHARP said the Resolution did not go far enough, and thought, that as the whole mercantile world were most anxious that these parties should be punished to the utmost, they should be prosecuted. The LORD MAYOR said the Committee could not prosccute. It would be for those defrauded to prosccute, and then they might come to the Committee to liavc their expenses. Mr. HART complained of some mis- statements in the Re- port of the last Meeting. He thought Messrs. Hoskins and Russell should bo black- boarded. ' The original motion was carried; as were Resolutions for a ballot for defraying the expenses of the parties who prosecuted the individuals who defrauded the Underwriters in the case of the Diana. MR. ROWLAND STEPHENSON.— The failure of the house of Messrs. Remington, Stephenson, and Co., was expected to have appeared in last night's Gazette; but, on account of the Lord Chancellor's absence, it will not appear till Friday. Still, no tidings of the fugitive. It has not been ascertained whether he has left London or not. Accounts hafe been received from almost every out- port It is said that lie had taken his mea- sures so well as to have a vessel in waiting for him at or off the Isle of Wight, which sailed the moment he got on board of lier. If any such vessel had been seen off the Wight, or had sailed from any of the ports, some account would have reached London. If he went off in a post- chaise from Guy's Hospital, or from his own house, the post- boys would have been able to have mentioned the road he took. Have all the proper steps been taken that might have been ? The fact of his flight with so large a sum of money having been ascertained, warrants might have been issued for his apprehension— his name and person advertised, and a large reward offered. This has not been done— and this is the fourth day since his absconding. He has had full time to escape by sea, if he had prepared the means. But it may be, that he remains still in London— if so, t, a large reward would be very likely to lead to his appre- hension. Discoveries of great sums abstracted are made almost daily. Some Foreign securities are to be added to the number, and the total amount is now estimated to be as high as 200,000/. It is said, that after the reports relative to the house had been circulated on the Friday, Saturday, and Monday week, the balance in the house was very considerable, and that the amount of bills under discount for their customers exceeded 200,000/. The payments might have been continued during the whole of Saturday, but upon a draft being drawn by Mr. Remington on the Bank of England; for which there were not sufficient assets, coupled with other alarming circumstan- ces, the partners resolved to stop paying immediately, in order that no undue preference should be given, and that the dis- joint customers should have an equal chance with tlioso situated PTII and near the city.— Courier. TEA TRADE.— The East India Company are in the habit of charging the wholesale buyers of tea a large sum for what is called " lotting the goods," from which the buyers contend they derive no advantage. This charge is, on a lot of tea oi six chests, Is. ( id., of nine chests, 2s. 3d. On the 7th of Octo- ber a letter was addressed to the Court of Directors, signed by nineteen of the greatest tea- houses in London, requesting that the Court would direct this charge to be discontinued. To this application the Court of Directors finally replied, through their Secretary, on the 26th ult, " That the Court have taken your letter into due consideration ; and as the charge in ques- tion appears to be a very moderate return for services ren- dered by the Company, in the delivery of the goods out of the warehouses to the buyers, the Court do not see it expedient to comply with the application proposed for its discontinuance." This answer gave the greatest dissatisfaction to the tea- dealers, of whom it is said there will be in a few days a Meeting, upon the subject of this rejection of what they consider a most equi- table claim, and upon other points which more immediately and intensify affect their interests. STATE OF TRADE.— There continues a degree of dulness over nearly every branch of trade, wliich may, in a great de- irrce be placed to the season of the year— a period when, in the absence of any extraordinary demand, merchants arc generally occupied i » examining their affaire. U e should be glad to find the newvear ushered in with'a favourable change, though, from various caU5CS, sanguine hopes are not to be entertained. The vast extent of our cotton manufactures requires addi ional facility to our foreign commercial relaUons on the one hand and on the other a vigilant care that its further extension shall not be urged on by rash speculation, aided and abetted by paper money without any effects. Upon the whole thcru has been more doinK in manufactured goods this week than might have been looked for, but we believe at extremely low prices, and such as must tend to rcduce the quantum either of work or remuneration to the labouring poor— Manchester Chronicle.

WINDSOR CASTLE.—( Abridged from the Times.)— We gave, some short time ago, a partial, but most accurate, as far as it went, description of the exterior appearnncc and internal embellishments of the Castle, nearly to the extent that they had then proceeded, and we shall not fail from time to time to resume the subject, with an accuracy and faithfulness of detail, in which exclusive opportunities must prevent the pos- sibility of misleading, until the final accomplishment of this magnificent national structure. The corridor or gallery which we before described . as extending round tyro entire sides of the quadrangle that forms the building, is now completed, and very nearly furnished with specimens of the rarest works of art; these consist of pictures, hy Zoffani and Canaletti, which or nament its walls, the greater number by the latter artist; and although the works of this master are not now held in any • very high degree of estimation, there are here some beautiful specimens of his art: these pictures, we believe, were all the property of lps late Majesty, and on that account po « ess a more sacred interest and value with their present owner. There arc, besides these, hung round the walls, to be seen, the portraits of Nelson, St. Vincent, Pitt, and many other great names distin- guished in the history of their country. In different parts of this corridor, too, as you walk along, the eye occasionally rests upon some almost animated bust, from the pcrfcctness of its resem- blance, in marble or in bronze; these are all of some eminent men, and of His Majesty's personal and private friends. Amongst the latter are busts of his late Royal Highness the Duke of York, and the late Marquis of Hastings, and there is one very recendy executed by Behucs, of his Royal High- ness the Duke of Cumberland. At the head of the Corridor, near to the door leading Into the music gallery, stands a mag- nificent bust in bronze of King James I.: there are, besides these busts, a number of figures in bronze, most exquisitely executed by the hands of the first artists, and here and there the attention is frequently arrested hy cabinets of ebony of the most lavish and costly taste and workmanship, which are un- derstood to have been once in the possession of Cardinal Wol- scy, for whom tlicy are said to have been made, and they are indeed well worthy the enormous expenditure of tliat princely pricsL These cabinets have all been newly polished, and are so admirably well arranged in this gallery, that on quitting one after a close and minute examination of. its beauties, you are quickly again gratified by lighting upon another of still more exquisite attractions; the intermediate spaces between these cabinets are occupied by the busts wc have already named, tri- pods, candelabra, settees, & c., so that not an inch remains unap- propriated to some delightful specimen of taste and arL At each door leading out of the corridor to His Majesty's apartments, arc two tripods, richly carved and gilt, each tripod bearing three lamps ; and the efTect of these at night, when lighted, on the surrounding ornaments, is said to surpass belief in its inagniliccuce. There arc also placed in the corridor, at con- venient distances, several very rich or- moulu clocks, by Vul- laimy, so that the eye in this place n£ vcr wanders, one rich or rare work of art immediately succeeding to another, and the whole presenting a constellation of the most magnificent and c6stly grandeur. From the number of gems with which this corridor is now studded, aud die general richness and splen- dour of its. appearance, it has become an object of espccial interest anil general attraction to every one of the few who find occasional access to the interior arrangements of this magnificent building. Wc on a former occasion described this gallery as being 1< J feet wide by 14- feet in height; the ceiling is of the most elegant appearance, divided into compartments of proportionate dimensions, oacli couipartiiiont separately ijildcd, and baring in the centre a rose or ornament similar to those that are to be seen in henry VII.' s chapel at Westmin- ster Abbey." We have not as yet been able to learn that the ultimate situation of His Majesty's beautiful collection of Dutch and Flemish pictures is decided upon— whether they are to occupy a part of the Waterloo Gallery which report - peaks of as intended to be built, or some other part of the palace. That this gallery will be built is generally believed; and in any application to Parliament for a grant for the pur- pose, we make no doubt that au assurance will be . given, that the public will be allowed the advantage of occasionally view- ing the beautiful works of art it wOl contain. The proposed site of this gallery is most favourable and convenient: it is still, as we before described it, only a sort of court- yard, into which look the windows of some offices of little importance. These removed, the gallery would require nothing but a dome roof and some embellishments to complete it. It is difficult which to admire most— the splendour of the King's apartments, or the excellent arrangement into which they are thrown for every purpose of convenience and comfort; and, notwithstanding the just meed of praise that is due, and must be awarded to the skill and taste of the architect's Labours, it is understood that His Majesty himself has had no inconsi- derable share in directing this grand national work. We before stated, tliat it was the determination of the King tliat all the decorations, & c. of this palace should be of British workmanship, and orders were given accordingly; but, with reference to the silk, there was some difficulty and doubt as to placing the order for it into the hands of a Spitalfield's master, because the work was a very difficult one, and tbe certainty of bringing it to the perfection desired not very sanguinely onter- tained in the trade. At this time there was a French silk ma- nufacturing house under the firm of " Depaully, Noutier, and Co." established in the city, and as tliis Kind of manufacture was more of foreign make and use than in this country, those foreigners were consulted about the matter, and ultimately they got the order for the silk, which was for 1000 yards. There was, however, a positive stipulation with this house, that the silk should be entirely made by English hands, and that no person whatever should manufacture an inch of it, ex- cept a Spitalfields weaver, the foreign house having the di- rection and superintendence of the work, according to the man- ner of the French looms, if that mode should be found superior to the English machinery. So far, however, from this being the case, that although the Frenchmen were at the commencement seemingly unalterably attached to the perfec- tion of their own looms and mode of weaving, during the pro- gress of the work, the very clever and ingenious Spitalfields weavers, whom they employed, pointed out to them the errors of the French mode so clearly and convincingly, that the foreigners were compelled reluctantly not only to admit the superiority of the English loom, but to adopt it in the remainder of the manu- facture ; and not only this, but they hail all their own looms altered to the English mods, nnd have taken the improvement over with'them to France; for the houso not having been at all successful here, the establishment in the city was broke up soon after the completion of the King's order, and they returned to France. So careful an anxiety was there to guard against any fraud or imposition as to the silk being made by British hands, that a silk- merchant of great experience and respectability at the west end of the town was employed by the Government to watch the progress of the different weaver; in Spitalfields, to whom the silk was given out for manufac- ture, from the commencement of a piece in the loom to its finish, and occasionally in this stage of the work to mark it with his seal; and in every instance this was done, so that there could be no possible doubt as to how and by whom the work was completed. It may not be an uninteresting fact, in proof of the industry and skill to be found in this branch of trade at home, to state, that of tile thousand yards which composed the order, 200 yards of this beautiful and difficult manufacture were wove in every part by a young female not more than 20 years of age, and the elegant finish She gave to her work was considered, by Messrs. Depaully, Noutier, and Co., to fully equal, if not surpass, any of the rest executed by male hands. This portion of the work, it seems, was given out to the father of this young girl, who was known to be one of the most ingenious and skilful weavers in Spitalfields; but at that time the poor man's health was in a very impaired state, and after accepting the order, lie found that lie could not possibly executc it, and was on the point of returning it, when his daughter, anxious tliat her father should not lose so favourable an opportunity of earning something handsome for his family, and the honour besides of manufacturing for the King's use, said she " would undertake to weave the silk herself. The father, although he knew the girl had been very clever and ingenious from her childhood, and had paid great attention all her life to the most difficult intricacies of the loom, never imagined that she would be able to accomplish so new and difficult a work as this must be to her, particularly as she had never tried such a manufacture before ; and lie for some time refused to let her make the at- tempt, or to listen to her at all upon the subject: her earnest entreaties, however, and the burden of a rather distressed fa- mily, induced the father to mention the girl's proposal to Messrs. Depaully and Noutier, assuring them at the same time that she really was very ingenious and clever in the loom at other silks, although she certainly had never made any such as this, and the masters at once, very' much to their credit; decided upon giving so industrious a girl a fair trial. Soma of the thread silk was accordingly given out to her, and she set about her work without delay; but before she had finished the weaving of many inches of it in the loom, the masters saw at a glance that she was perfect mistress of her work, and that no person in the trade could be more compe- tent to complete it Thenceforward, for 16 months, did this young girl unceasingly labour at her task until she had com- pleted, with her own hands, nearly 200 yards of this splendid, and in this country, unique specimen of British manufacture. Mary Davis is her name, and she resides with her father in South Conduit- street, Bethnal- green- road. The labour and difficulty of making this silk may be judged of by the fact, that the quickest of the weavers who worked at it— and this young female was one of them— could not complete more t 15 inches of it in the day; and the wages for this arduous work was only 9s. per yard. Wc mentioned in a former ar- ticle, that the weavers of this silk, finding that they could not maintain themselves upon the rate of wages then paid to them, such was the slowness and labour of the work, complained of the circumstance, and induced a representation to be made to His Majesty to that effect; and that the moment the com- plaint had readied tho Royal car, His Majesty was graciously pleased to direct, that thenceforward the actual weavers should receive double wages from His Majesty's bounty until the completion of the whole of the work. Under the new terrace of the Castle, commencing at the Brunswick tower, and terminating at the south- east angle, forming a crescent, and enclosing about two acres of ground, is the orangery, descending gently from the north side, and looking towards the south. This terrace itself is a favourable instance of the strength and solidity, as well as the taste, with which Sir Jeffrey Wyatviile is carrying oil the improvements in this palace. Immediately under the gravel surface of the terrace is a floor of lead, and beneath this again is one of iron; and, lastly, there is a floor directly over the orangery composed of wood and plaster, the whole forming a mass of great strength and durability. This substantial work extends only to that part of the terraco which is over the orangery, and is intended chiefly as a protection for tilt portion of the beautiful garden which this terrace encloses and partially covers. All the other parts of the terrace arc entirely of stone, having loop- holes, in which cannon are intended to be placed, this being the only accessible point of the Castle in case of attack. The whole of the garden within this terrace is proceeding rapidly towards perfection, and will be an object of great attraction when entirely arranged, under the able direction of Mr. Aiton, of Kensington, the King's gardener; and will boast some of the choicest plants and flowers that Europe produces. Some of the orange- trees that are already planted are of immense size, being from 16 to 18 feet in height, and the diameter of the stem 8 and 10 inches, and as the orange- tree is known to be of very slow growth, these must at least he 100 years old, and were presented to His Majesty by the present King of France. The eastern wing of the castle, viewed from the footpath that leads through the Little Park from Frogmore to Datchet, is the nearest view that can be had of the external beauties and magnificence or this palace, being a distance of about half a mile only, and this view presents a different feature from any other ' part of the Castle. The appearance of this wing would seem much too uniform, but for the rcccnt improvement of raising the north- east tower at one end, and the newly built octagon tower at the other. At equal distances between these two towers are four heavy projections, and in these projections are contained the splendid gothic windows of His Majesty's principal rooms, and no approach to this wing of the castle is permitted nearer than the footpath of which wc have spoken. The view of this wing, however, is by no means so picturesque as any of the other sides of the building. The most advan- tageous view, beyond comparison, is from the London road, on the Eton side; for although this portion of the Castle lying north is principally in shade, yet standing as it does on a lofty eminence, aud surmounted by its beautiful minarets and splendid towers ( for of the latter there arc here several— viz., Julius Casar's Tower, Wykeham Tower, the New Brunswick Tower, and the Round Tower), presents a gran- deur of effcct to which it would be difficult for description to do justice. Some of the most eminent artists have been consulted in the arrangements, and Messrs. Chantry and Wilkie, the Royal Academicians, have had, by command, some private audiences of His Majesty, it is supposed with reference to the busts and pictures in the corridor, and probably to reccive orders for other new ones. WILL OF TIIE LATE QUEEN OF WURTEMBERG.— The will of her late Majesty the Queen of Wurtemberg was on Wednesday- week proved in the Prerogative Court of the Archbishop of Can- terbury by his Excellency the Count de Maudcsloh, the present Minister from Wurteiuberg to the British Court, who is also named the attorney ( cxecutor) representing his Majesty the present King of Wurtcniberg. The property in England is sworn under the value of 80,000/. sterling; and the will, which is in the German lan- guage, beautifully written on vellum, is dated from the Palace of Ludwigsburg, the 23d dayof December, 1816, and consequently a number of the legacies named therein have lapsed in conse- quence of the death of the legatees. Thr following are among tbe beouests, in the progressive order in which they appear in the will:— " Her Majesty, in the event of her Royal Father or Mother surviving her, appoints them her heir fit Iegilinum, with a re- quest that her property thus devolving to them be either im- mediately, or at least at their Majesties' decease, given up entire and undiminished to those heirs to whom she has be- queathed the residue of her property and effects. " In case of heT Majesty surviving lier Royal Parents, her Majesty gives the whole of the property secured to her under her marriage settlements ( subject to the legacies thereafter no- ticed), to the legitimate children of the present King of Wur- temberg, her Majesty's son- in- law, and constitutes them her principal heirs; but directs the same to be preserved entire and undiminished as a family Fidti Commissum, and tliat, con- sequently, her heirs shall not be entitled to dispose of tho substancc of such property, but shall have only the usufruct thereof as an annual revenue." The following specific legacies are given by the will: " The rings ( 30 in number), and the drawings which her late Consort bequeathed to her, are directed to be given— the former to the Royal Museum of Arts and Curiosities, and the latter to the Royal Private Library at Wurtemberg. " The Heron Aigrette, presented to her Majesty by the Grand Seignior, Selim III. to be given to the Royal House of Wurtcmberg, to form part of the jewels of the crown; also her late Consort's portraits, but without their mountings; and also the portraits of the Royal Family of England; and directs them to be placed in the gallery of the Royal Family of Wur- temberg. " To his Majesty the King of Wurtcmbcrg she bequeath! the Collection of English Translations of Antient Classics; all the historical works, together with the collection called the English Classics, in the Palace of Ludwigsberg, & c. " To her mother, the ( late) Queen of England, a hair pin in the form of a half- moon, set with brilliants; and also a breakfast service of Vienna porcelain, of which the tea- board represents the death of Dido. " To his Royal Highness the Prince Regent ( His present Majesty), a clock, in an alabaster case, together with four vases thereunto belonging." There are several other legacies of clocks to each of the • Royal Dukes, and jewels, medallions, and Pictures to the Princesses. Her Majesty recommends the persons attached to her household to the favour and protection of the King of Wur- tembcrg, hoping, that in consideration of the circumstance of her Majesty having disposed of the mass of her property to the house of Wurtemberg, his Majesty will be pleased to com- ply with her wish, by suitably providing for her servants. L A W. KINGSTON, DEC. 30. BURGLARY AT THAMES DITTON. William Day, Edward Creamer, James Hayns, and Charles Macdonald, were charged with burglariously entering the dwelling- house of the Rev. G. H. Storie, nt Thames Ditton, and stealing therein a quantity of silver plate, value 150L This case excited very great interest, on account of the number of similar offences recently committed in that neigh- bourhood. Mr. Storie, jun., deposed, that the house was secure on the night of the 29th of September, and that the following morning he found it had been entered through the drawing- room win- dow, and the plate- chest plundered of its contents, consisting of silver waiters, salvers, spoons, & c. & c. The plated articles were left behind. William Brown proved having seen five persons lurking near the prosecutor's house on the afternoon preceding the robbery. The prisoner Creamer was one of the five. Thomas Bishop saw the same five persons, but could not identify any of them. Caroline Smith saw all the prisoners at the bar at the Horse and Groom public house, Kingston, on the evening of the 29th September. They left about eleven o'clock at night. There was another person not now present, with them. Thomas Parker deposed tliat, on the 30th of September, about three o'clock in the morning, he met five persons on the road between Thames Ditton and Kingston. One of the men had a bag on his back, and witness heard something jingle like keys. ITie rest had bundles, except one. The prisoner Hayes was one of the five. It was a moonlight night. A number of other witnesses were examined. The Jury found all the prisoners Guilty. Mr. Justice BURROUGH told them their lives would probably be spared. TRIAL OF WITTMAN. William Wittman was placed at the bar, and arraigned on the coroner's inquisition, charging him with the wilful murder of his wife, Sarah Wittman, and also for the manslaughter of tbe same, on the finding of the grand jury. Mr. JEMMETT stated the case. He observed, that as the grand jury had negatived the imputation of murder, he should proceed with the case as one of manslaughter only. Nothing important transpired in the examination of the witnesses that has not already been before the public. Mr. Justice BURROUGII, in summing up, observed that it often happened that the first impression of an event . was more strohg than the circumstances warranted, and that appeared to be the case with the coroner's verdict in this instance. The statement of the prisoner that he was struck twice by his wife with the poker was fully borne out by the evidence, and if they believed that after being so struck he had recourse to the gun solely as a means of self- defence, it would be no offence at all ; but he did not see how they could well come to that conclusion, as the prisoner had not set up such a defence, but on the contrary had stated that what he did was in the heat of passion. The Jury, without hesitation, found the prisoner guilty of manslaughter, but acquitted him of the charge of murder. Mr. Justice BURROUGH, in passing sentence, told the pri- soner, that although he certainly had received great provoca- tion, yet he was not justified in using a gun to avenge himself. It was not a case calling for heavy punishment; but still it was one that could not be passed over. Under all the circum- stances of the case, the sentence of the Court was, tliat he be imprisoned for the space of three months. VARIETIES IN LITERATURE, SCIENCE, See. EDUCATION IN FRANCE.— The accurate and elaborate statistical account of France ( Forces productives et Commer- cials dela France), published last year at Paris, by Baron Dupin, exhibits in a striking light, the importance of general education, as respects both the economical condition and the financial resources of a nation. As the two regions into which Dupin divides the whole of France possess the benefits of instruction in very different measures, so a corresponding difference is observable as regards wealth, revenue, and capacity for improvement. If a line be drawn from St. Malo to Geneva, France is divided into two unequal parts,— of which the north- eastern is much the smaller. The population of this portion, however, is well educated,— there being I out of every 13 individuals at all times actually receiving in- struction. In the other and larger portion the state of education is widely different,— there being in the pro- vinces bordering on the Mediterranean and the Pyrenees, only 1 in every 44 individuals receiving instruction, and in the western and interior provinces the proportion being reduced so low as 1 in every 143 ! Now observe the consequences. The following table shews, the proportion which the revenue, & c., of the north- eastern portion of France bears to the whole of the remainder of the country. The figures shew the proportions in aliquot parts of 100. N. E. of Remainder . . France, of France.

And not only has the north- eastern portion of the counliy thus greatly outstripped the rest in wealth and industry, but the more rapid rate at which it still con- tinues to advance in the career of improvement is not less remarkable,— as the following table shews.

J COINAGE OF PLATINA.— By au extract of a letter from Professor Breithaupt to Dr. Scheveigger- Seidel, which is given in a late Number of the Jahrhuch de Chemie, it ap- pears that the Russian Government has determined to coin a large sum in Siberian Piatina. The proprietor of the ground where the platina was discovered is Count Deni- doff, who has sold the quantity collocted to the Govern- ment, He has sent four young Russians, intended for official situations in Siberia, to be educated at the Mining Academy at Freyberg. INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.— In an early Number of the Record of last year we inserted the following commu- nication from Cambridge, containing a query which had excited Tery general interest there :- p- " It is a curious fact, that if the orifice of a tube be coincident with a plane which is at right angles to the axis of the tube, and a card, or plate of any kind, be placed over the orifice, a blast of wind driven through the tube will not remove the plate as might be supposed, but will cause it to adhere more closely to the plane; and if the plate lie nt a small distance from the orifice, the blast will draw it to, instead of driving it away. Query. How is this phenomenon to be ex- plained ? " The experiment may readily be tried by cutting a hole as large as the orifice of a reed or quill, in the middle of a. common card, which, by means of scaling wax, may be fixed in the manner above described upon the extremity of the reed or quill, care being taken to keep the orifice clear, and to cut away with a pen- knife the sealing wax which protrudes above the card ; then another card, or a piece of paper, will be made to adhere, if in contact, and even to rise up from the table to meet the orifice placed near to it, when the reed or quill ia violently blown through." We have not seen any explanation of this singular experiment until we are just now favoured with the fol- lowing solution of it from a valued Correspondent:— " The experiment of drawing up a bit of thin card or paper to a circular piece of tin plate by means of a stream of air propelled through a tube, piercing it in its centre, may be thus accounted for. " Every such stream of air form* a vortex in its pro- gress, entangling and carrying along with it the adjacent particles of air. With this secondary stream of air, any light substance which happened to be in its course, would also be carried along. Now, with a simple tube, n secon- dary stream or vortex would be formed, which would be supplied from every point in the spherical space sur- rounding the orifice of the tube from which the first stream escapes. From any one of these points a light substance might be drawn, and carried along with the vortex. But the circular portion of tin fixed upon this orifice cuts off one half of this spherical space. The vortex must therefore be supplied by air from points in the other half sphere. The hrst motion of the particles of this air is towards the orifice of the tube, or the first point of the vortex. This will also be towards the disk of tin plate. By this movement of the air any light substance will be carried along as before, and now towards, and to, the disk of tin. In this manner a bit of thin paper will appear to l> e drawn in a direction contrary to the stream of air forced through the tube. It is, in fact, carried with the air which enters into and forms the vortex, or secon- dary stream. " This is made very plain by means of a simple ex- periment. Let air be blown through the tube inserted into the disk of tiu, a little on one side of the flame of a candle. This flame will be seen to be drawn into the vortex, and of course towards the orifice of the tube, and towards the disk of tin. " Another experiment, of the same kind, is the fol- lowing:— Place a card about nn inch and a quarter broad before the flame of a candle, and about an inch distant from it; if you then blow upon the card, the flame is distinctly drawn towards it. In this a vortex is formed of a conical shape, and the flame of the candle is drawn towards one point, from which the air is drawn into it." fir. H. HEIGHT OF THE AURORA BOREALIS.— Mr. Dalton, from a series of observations on this interesting pheno- menon, especially on the Aurora of 29th March, 1826, as detailed in the last Number of the Philosophical Mngazine, is of opinion, that those luminous arches of the Aurora which occasionally appear stretching from East to West, are all about one hundred miles in height. There are no observations to determine the height of the upright beams, those that are parallel with the dipping needle, and are the ordinary forms of the Aurora; nor is it known whe- ther those beams ascend from the arches, as from a base, or descend below, as if appended to the arches. NATURAL PRODUCTIONS OF JAMAICA.— A prospectus has been circulated of a plan for investigating the natural productions of Jamaica. It is intended to raise a sum among those connected with the colonies, and those gene- rally interested in scientific discoveries, to send out scien- tific men well fitted for examining the state of Jamaica, as connected exclusively with its natural history, and the probabilities afforded by its advantages of soil and climate, for the cultivation of articles as yet new to its commerce. Jamaica has been selected, as affording the most extensive field for studying the geology mineralogy, botany, and animal productions of a climate common to all the West Indian islands. the portfolio. " There was silence in Heaven." Can angel spirits need repose In the full sun- light of the sky ? And can the veil of slumber close A cherub's bright and blazing eye ? Have seraphim a weary brow, A fainting heart, an aching brpast ? No, far too high their pulses flow, To languish with inglorious rest. How could they sleep amid the bliss, The banquet of delight above ? Or bear for one short hour to miss Hie vision of the Lord they love ? Oh! not the death- like calm of sleep Could hush the everlasting song: No fairy dream, or slumber deep, Entrance the rapt and holy throng. Yet not the lightest tono wns heard From angel voice or angel hand ; And not one plumed pinion stirr'd Among the bow'd and blissful band. For there was silence in the sky, A joy, not angel tongues coultl tell, As from its mystic point on high. The peace of God in stillness fell. Oh ! what is silence here below * The quiet of conceal'd despair. The pause of pain, the dream of woe, It is the rest of rapture there. And, to the wayworn pilgrim here, More kindred seems that perfect peace, Than the full chaunts of joy to hear Roll on, and never, never cease. From earthly agonies set free, Tir'd with the path too slowly trod, May such a silence welcome me Into the palace of my God! j. .. r .... , From the Bijou for 1829*. Let us diligently strive to walk with God ; and let our souls be so influenced, and trained, that we may both rightly apprehend him, and always acknowledge his presence • not without holy fear and an earnest desire of the Divine approbation. Let us appropriate him to ourselves by a lively faith; let us hold converse with him daily ; let us consult him in alj our difhculues, and make earnest application to him in all our necessities; let us securely rely on his providence; let lis gratefully recollect all his mercies ; let us enjoy him alone, in all good things; let us exercise ourselves in the pious prac- tice of a holy obedience, as well with respect to those sacred solemnities which have a more immediate relation to his wor- ship, as with respect to the duties incumlient on us in our par- ticular callings; carefully avoiding whatsoever may in any measure displease him; and immediately endeavouring, by a speedy repentance, to - recover his favour, which, by our mani- fold sins, wc had worthily deserved to lose. Let us sincerely refer ourselves and all our actions to his glory; lit us sur- render up ourselves and all we have to him; let us never cbase from earnestly seeking a more full enjoyment of him ; yea, and let us walk with him alone, rejecting, with scorn and disdain, the fellowship of the world. Let us move on with him, not loitering or wandering out of the way ; and, lastly, let us walk with the God of our salvation cheerfully, constantly, and with perseverance. And then Enoch's motion will at length assuredly happily conduct us to Enoch's rest, even to eternal glory.— Bishop Hull. " Faith makes the believer inherit substancc, and look to things that are real, while the rest of the unbelieving world weary themselves in chasing shadows, and feed their deluded eyes with the sight of vain imaginations. The more the believer looks at things that are not si- cn, the more reality doth lie observe and find in them; whew- as the more he looks at things that arc seen, the more vanity and emptiness he finds in them. He looks to things seen, anil they mock him; lie looks upon them, and they arc not; a serious look at there, looks them into nothing; but things not seen have in them substance, reality, solidity, which he with delight beholds. He looks upon things seen, and sees them refuse, loss, and dung ; but he sees things that are not seen to be so excellent, that even those things, which serin to have sonic glory, have yet no glory, by reason of this glory, which doth excel. He looks at things that arc seen, and sees them like a vapour, or airy meteor, in a continual motion while they are, and in a litdc time they vanish ; but things not seen, he perceives fixed, unchangeable, and that for ever."— Halyburton. • 5 EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

Wpg of Parliament approaches, the space which , afforded to Communications from Correspondents rifi'De^ xlreijAely- contracted, and they will oblige us by bearing n mind the necessity of compressing their observations as much as possible. LONDON. THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 1. We forward this Paper as a specimen, to many individuals who, as far as we know, are not regular Subscribers. Their names have been furnished to us by their friends or acquaint- ances ,- and those of them who may wish to receive the Paper regularly, will have die goodness to transmit their orders to the Office of The Record, or to any of the newsmen in town or country. Such of the Subscribers as may receive an additional Paper, will oblige us by forwarding it to any individual whose moral and religious principles n> ay probably induce him to become a regular Subscriber. The principal objects which the conductors of Tlic Record had in view in its establishment this time twelvemonth, were the following:— To form a pure medium, by which the news of the day might be conveyed into the bosom of every family, without any admixture of those impure ingredients with which they are usually blended; which render the generality of newspapers utterly unfit to meet the female eye, and highly contaminating to the minds of both sexes. To look upon public events, anil to treat public subjects, not with the eye of ungodliness, nor according to the prin- ciples of this world; but continually to let in upon the scene the pure: light which revelation affords, and in which light alone a just estimate can be made of the characters, the prin- ciples, and the events, which are continually being presented to the public view; and which, according to the different aspects in which they are viewed, may lead the mind into painful uncertainty and dangerous error, or serve to establish it in the belief of those important and everlasting truths which the Supreme Being has, in infinite mercy, revealed to mankind. To attempt to blunt the edge of party spirit in things either sacred or secular"— whether in matters belonging to Church or State. To take a position on the broad basis of our common Christianity, whence to endeavour to heal, not to irritate, the wounds which unhappily exist in the true Church of Christ— whence to vindicate and uphold the principles of good govern- ment, but at the same time to exercise that liberty in the dis- cussion of public subjects, and in the estimation which we form of public men, which are afforded us by the Constitution, and which are entrusted to us by God as talents, for the due exercise of which we shall be called to give account Above all, to uphold the integrity of the Christian Faith. To distinguish between Christianity, and that with assumes its name, but is devoid of its spirit and power. To be liberal, but not latitudinarian. To be charitable, but not, in the exercise of that which falsely assumes that sacred name, to smile on men to their eternal undoing. To mingle the meekness and the gentleness enjoined us by the Gospel, with that " earnest contending for the faith once delivered to the Saints," which is imposed upon us by the same liigh and unchangeable authority. How far we have failed in these— the deeply- important ob- jects which we presented to ourselves— we cantiot fairly estimate. That we have failed greatly, we entertain no doubt However, amidst much imperfection and weakness, our aim, ice can say, has been single, and our eye has been habitually directed to the furtherance of that great cause, a regard to which alone, brought this Paper into existence. It has also been consolatory to us, in no slight degree, amidst many difficulties with which we have had to contend, to receive countenance and encouragement from many right- hearted and distinguished men of all parties; to perceive our difficulties rapidly disappearing; to mark a great and steady increase in the number of our Subscribers ; and to be able to announce to our active friends and supporters, that according to all present appearances, a very limited continuance of their kind and energetic labours in our behalf, will establish the Paper on a sure and permanent foundation. The French papers are unusually, destitute of in- telligence. The hay, which is in the depot at Toulon, has been ordered to be shipped for the Morea, for the use of the horses expected thence, from which it would appear that the French expedition is about to return. The German papers received to- day, mention that Lord Cochrane is making preparations for some naval enterprise, the object of which is unknown. Letters from Volhynia and Lithuania, probably with no great accuracy, estimate the losses of the army of Bessarabia, during the last campaign, at nearly 50,000 men; the greater part of whom, it is said, fell victims to the diseases incident to the cli- mate, and the fatigues and privations of war. Letters have been received from Gibraltar, dated the 20th ult. The fever has again abated, and one day has passed without a single death. V" We beg to direct the attention of our readers to a statement contained in another part of our paper, which exhibits in a striking light the effects which general education is calculated to produce upon the industrv, wealth, and resources of a nation. From that statement it appears, that while one region of France is well educated, the education of the rest of the country is extremely neglected. The conse- quence is, that the well- educated region, though much smaller in extent, yields a greater revenue than all the rest of the country, in a proportion, varying in different articles, from one- third up to nearly one- half; while, at the same time, the rate at which the former is advancing in the career of im- provement, exceeds the rate of advancement making by the latter, in a proportion amounting, in some particulars, to that of nearly three to one! We do not suppose that any of our readers re- quire proof to satisfy them of the importance of education : yet we gladly avail ourselves of the rare opportunity presented by these authentic and well- digested facts, of exhibiting the actual results of education in the most striking and palpable form. Were data afforded for making similar calculations in regard to the different sections of our own coun- try, we doubt not that residts would be obtained scarcely, if at all, less remarkable; and nothing, we conceive, would be fitted better than such an exhi- bition, to rivet the attention and rouse the energies of our people in regard to this still - muchsflfgl^ ctftd subject. Not, however, possessing materials for any such calculations, in regard to our own country, we must content ourselves with borrowing instruction from the ascertained experience of our neighbours. The results of that experience, though sufficiently striking, will not afford matter of surprise to any who have given even the slightest attention to the subject; for nothing can be more obvious, than that the energies of the human mind cannot be developed without culture, any more than the capacities of the soil; and that as it is by his mind alone that man holds the supremacy of nature, mental cultivation is the most direct and comprehensive means of pro- moting all human improvements whatsoever. England is, no doubt, the richest country in the world; and it is also distinguished, in a good de- gree, by learning apd intelligence. But its past prosperity is to be traced, under God, more to its institutions and its local circumstances, than to any superiority in general mental acquirements; and, if to the providential arrangements which have hitherto ministered to its prosperity, it were now to add a due solicitude for the improvement of the jnind and character of its population, it would add immeasurably, not only to the individual happiness of its people, but to the extent and stability of its national wealth and greatness. The nation has been not merely extremely backward, but, as we conceive, extremely criminal in this important matter. As we far exceed all other nations in wealth, why do we not, at least, equally exceed them all in the best things which wealth can purchase, viz., intellectual, moral, and religious cultivation. As we not only pos- sess more wealth than any other nation, but as that wealth is more widely and indiscriminately distri- buted than in any other country, why is not educa- tion, even in its highest branches, as widely and generally distributed as are the means of obtaining it ? Taking even the most mercenary view of the subject, mental and moral culture are more productive of meallh than any other means whatever; and, in- dependently of such considerations, why expend our wealth on sensual or sordid gratifications, to the neglect of those pursuits and qualifications which be- fit us, as the rational governors of the present world, and the expectant inheritors of a better ? We mean shortly to recur to this deeply important subject. The sudden, and, on general principles, unac- countable alternations, which occur in ths tone of many of the daily newspapers, must often occasion considerable amusement, if not some amazement, in the minds of their readers. At one time, the political atmosphere seems to be overcast with clouds and darkness, and we hear of nothing but the approach of wars and commotion. On a sudden the scene changes, and we are then entertained with the most delightful prospects of peace and tranquillity. At one moment, the down- fall of Turkey is represented as inevitable, and the power of Russia as overwhelming. Success smiles upon their arms; the difficulties of the Balcan vanish as by the touch of a magician; obstacles of every kind vanish into air, and we seem almost to hear die neighing of the Russian cavalry on the plains of Adrianople, or the thunder of their cannon over the waters of the Bosphorus. At such seasons, the pos- sibility of defeat does not enter into the contempla- tion of the journalist, and the reader is only sum- moned to speculate on the probable result of the extinguishment of the Ottoman power. The empire of Russia now appears as a Colossus, with one arm resting on the Baltic, and with the other grasping the Euxine, and commanding the entrance to the Mediterranean. But scarcely have the usual topics of alarm been put forward in their most appalling character, and the approaching overthrow of our empire in India, or our trade in the Mediterrhnean, been made ap- parent, when presently we are called on to lay aside all our gloomy apprehensions. The Russians have sustained some disaster; some of their supplies have been cut off; a sally has been made, tin which they have sustained much loss; and it is obvious that a speedy termination must be put to the War! The same train of ideas is followed up with as much zeal as was formerly displayed on the other side of the question. It appears that the resources of Turkey, and the character of the Sultan, have not been suffi- ciently appreciated. Levies have been secretly gathered from every part of the Mahomedan domi- nions ; Asia is pouring forth her barbaric hordes; the Turkish scymitar is discovered to be more formidable than the European bayonet; the sacred standard of the Prophet has gone forth from Con- stantinople ; and the whole population are animated with the same spirit, and burning with enthusiastic zeal to roll back the tide of invasion. There was a time when such dramatic alternations of peace and war, of terror and congratulation, were calculated to produce in the public mind an effect fully as great as that, which was intended or antici- pated by the journalist. Unfortunately, however, the mystery of " the broad sheet," has been to a considerable measure, laid open to the prying cu- riosity of this inquisitive age. It is now too gene- rally known that the magnitude of our national debt, has unfortunately given rise to a very exten- sive system of gambling speculations in the funds : that there are multitudes of individuals to whom the rise or the fall of the funds is successively a subject of deep interest: that the conductors of the daily press, although living in a sort of mysterious incog- nito, are still supposed to have some connection with the transactions of ordinary life; nay, that they are even susceptible of the same feelings and wishes that animate the soi- disant bulls and bears of the Stock Exchange. It is indeed a melancholy instance of the grovel- ling propensities of human nature, when it is seen that the power of the press is thus abused. This power is of a character that ought to impress those who wield it with sentiments of dignity and honour. But when it is thus prostituted for the most selfish purposes, the only antidote that can be administered, is to guard the public against the snare which is spread for them, and by rendering the fact notorious, defeating the designs of the conspirators. The unwieldy amount of the national debt, will ever render it susceptible of great fluctuations. While human nature remains what it is, attempts will be made to influence these fluctuations for sel- fish purposes. And we consider the system of time- bargains, and the whole train of stock- specula tions, to be a fruitful cause of the alleged decay which has taken place in the general character of the British merchant; a character, which at one time might be considered among the highest in the world. In illustration of our remarks upon the specula- tion articles of the daily papers, we have alluded to Russia and Turkey. We might come nearer home, and speak in the same manner of Ireland. At " no distant period, we have, in the course of one week, been called on to believe two facts, nearly equally wonderful, and certainly equally inconsistent; first, that Ireland was in a state of rebellion ; second, that she never enjoyed greater tranquillity or repose. It is therefore important that newspaper readers should be on their guard against such delusions. The city article will often prove a good key to the sincerity of the other speculations of the journalist, and. to the credit that is to be given to facts of which, the authority may be doubtful. And, at all events, it is proper that the numerous abuses of the public press should as far as possible be exposed, in order that its mischief may be countervailed. Recent circumstances having led, on the one hand, iO erroneous statements regarding the amount of the present resources of Mrs. Fry, applicable to chari table uses ; and on the other, to surmises that the funds of the Banking Establishment have been in some measure reduced by the expences incidental to the prosecution of her benevolent objects, we are authorised to make the following statements, on the accuracy of which implicit reliance may be placed. 1. There is no truth in the report that Mrs. Fry is in the receipt of 2,000/. a- year, subscribed by her brothers for the prosecution of her benevolent objects. 2. The whole of Mrs. Fry's personal property, derived from whatever source, along with the great bulk of that of her husband, was invested in the Bank, and of course has been lost by the failure of the establishment. 9. On no occasion whatever were any of the funds which Mrs. Fry appropriated to benevolent purposes drawn from the Bank. They were fur- nished chiefly by some of her affluent relatives and friends. 4. On no occasion were even the household ex- pences of the family received from the Bank. They were uniformly derived from another and inde- pendent source. It thus appears that the property of the Bank has never been impaired, in the slightest degree, by the expenses consequent upon the benevolent occupa- tions to which Mrs. Fry has devoted herself; while we regret to add, she does not see a present pros- pect of being able to continue that measure of pecu- niary aid to various Institutions, which it was in her power previously to afford. Under these circumstances, this lady, whom it is only necessary to know, to love and to revere, has considerable solicitude lest tho3e two Institutions, in whose prosperity she feels the most peculiar inte- rest, should languish from want of funds. They are designated the Ladies' British Society for Pro- moting the Reformation of Female Prisoners, and the Westminster Asylum. The Bankers of both are Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co., Birchin- lane, and Messrs. Coutts and Co., Strand. And we should be truly happy were this simple intimation of their necessities to draw from a benevolent public, and especially from that part of it which is disposed to prevent the wishes of this estimable woman, an im- mediate and ample supply. We shall probably avail ourselves of an early opportunity to present some of the interesting de- tails of these Societies to our readers. CITY, Jan. 1, 1829, half- p, ut 11 o'clock. The attention of the Members of the Stock Exchange is so entirely engrossed by the affairs of the Hanking House of Remington, Stephenson, and Co., that little attention lias yet been devoted to business, and the price of Consols for the opening has been 87J J all the morning. It appears, however, that many of the Exchequer Bills embezzled by Mr. Stephenson have got into circulation, and the uncertainty which exists regarding the Law upon the many points which may arise for ulterior decision, has put a complete stop to that branch of the business. It would, therefore, be useless to speculate upon the pro- bable results, in an article whetein we profess only to give an outline of the state of the Money and Stock Markets. We may probably refer to this subject in a future Number, and offer some remarks upon its disastrous effect upon the confidence which ought to exist in a mercantile com- munity between man and man. We may also have occasion to refer to the importance of an unblemished moral character in those who move in the station of life occupied by Mr. Stephenson, and which, upon inquiry, will, we fear, be found to have been lamentably deficient in him. It is reported this morning, diat the whole of his dcficiences now discovered, amount to the enormous sum of Two Hundred and Forty Thousand Pounds. The last discoveries were the sale of Forty Thousand new Four per Cents, and Two Hundred Pounds per annum Long An- nuities, powers for sale of which had been entrusted to the Firm. The London Life Insurance Company have' suffered to the extent of thirty- nine thousand pounds in Exchequer Bills, and a cash balance of 12,000/. We have also heard a fact which does not appear to have been noticed by any of our contemporaries, namely, that in the neigh- bourhood where Stephenson resided, in Fssex, almost every tradesman who had any property has been induced to intrust him, personally, with it, and that the town pre- sents a scene of great distress. One individual has de- posited to the extent of five thousand pounds. In short, die whole affair is of so nefarious a character that it will be long before its effects can be obliterated, and con- fidence restored. Two o'clock. The Market has rather improved, and Consols are 8Z| J. Being a Holiday at the Bank, no Money business is transacted. One or two bargains in Exchequer Bills have been done at 68s. to 69s. Flax.— This article continues to be inquired for, and is almost the only article of Russian produce in much de- mand, and for which there are buyers at 36/. to 36/. 10s. per ton for Petersburgh 12- head, and at 40/. per ton for Riga P T It. The Sugar Market opened on Tuesday, and about 1000 hogsheads have since been sold, the coloury descriptions have brought prices fully equal to those current before the holidays, the inferior sorts are a shade lower, Dry Brown Demerara, 53s to 55s. Middling to Cood, 56s. to 62s. The demand for Coffee continues limited, a public sale of good ordinary Brazil, slightly damaged, was yesterday brought forward, and the whole sold with some spirit, at 33s. to 35s. There is rather more enquiry for Leeward Island Rum, at lower prices, but the business done is limited ; no de- mand for Jamaica. Proofs 2s. 3d. to 2s. 4d.

The supplies hitherto tills week have not been very extensive; but in the course of the day many vessels have arrived in the river from the Continent, chiefly with Wheat. A good many country buyers of Wheat were again at Market this morning; but most of them were holding off, in hopes of purchasing on lower terms on Friday, which caused a dull trade at about the currency of Monday last Beans, Barley, and Oats were exceed- ingly flat, and few sales made of cither. Peas us last noted. RUMFORD, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 31.

A reward of 100/. is offered for the apprehension of Mr. Rowland Stephenson. It is said there is considerable inquiry going for- ward Oil the subject of the Colonial Expenditure, defrayed by this country, and that it is likely to form a prominent object of attention in the ensiling Session. The accounts from Fernandez Po continue un- satisfactory. Capt Owen has lost a good many of his men ; and the opinion gains ground that this new settlement will be abandoned. German and Brussels Papers received to- day :— AUGSBURG, DEC. 24.— The Courier de Smyrne of Sth Novem- ber, has a letter from Napoli di Romania, which states that Lord Cochrane is preparing at Poros for a new expedition, the object of which is not known. It is said, however, that it is to go to Salonicbi, and that its chief object is to impose a heavy contribu- tion on the Jewish inhabitants of that place, who constitute seven- eighths of the population. The expedition is to consist of three steam- boats, the Hellas frigate, six gun- boats, and twenty large ships, with troops. Two sloops have taken on board here a quan- tity of shells and bombs, of the calibre of the guns of the frigate and the steam- boats. The desertion of the Palicari in the camp at Megara is so great, that Prince Ypsilanti will soon see his army reduced to a few officers, with whom he may snend the winter at his ease in Napoli. It is reported at Napoli," that the Sultan had appointed a new Pasha of the Mores, and that during the winter, when hostilities on the Danube are suspended, this Pasha set out from Constantinople with 14,000 men, for the Morea, and that he is to be reinforced by contingents in the pro- vinces through which he passes, so that he may nave 10,000 men when he enters the Morea. M. Reybaud, chief editor of the Courier d'Orient, a Journal that is to appear in Greece, w ill be assisted by M. Blaquiere, who arrived with Lord Cochrane. It is thought that these gentlemen will remain in the Morea, and write their Journal in the French camp. VIENNA, DEC. 20.— Metalliques, 95 9- lGths. Bank Shares, 109G.— Allgemeine Zeitung, Dec. 25. DEC. 29.— Two British Cabinet Messengers passed through the , citv yesterday with despatches from London to Vienna. DEC. 30.— Lord Clanwilliam arrived here yesterday, from Ber- lin, on his way to London, with despatches. BRUSSELS, DEC. 27.— Baron Van der Dayn, Secretary to the Legation of the Netherlands at Constantinople, arrived here yes- terday, from the Hague.— Gazette de Pays bas, Dec. 31. * This, however, was in the middle of Ocloher. The King, it is said, shortly intends to visit the Pavilion at Brighton; where, it is also said, His Majesty will reside a few weeks. A suite of apartments is now preparing for the reception of His Majesty in that part of the new Royal Palace which forms the corner of it next the Green Park. Rumours continue to be circulated with confi- dence, that Mr. Herries is to succeed Mr. Goulburn as Chan- cellor of the Exchequer, and that some other changes are to be made in the Administration previous to the meeting of Parliament. Reports of this description are not uncommon previous to the commencement of a session; and as the Duke of Wellington is so decidedly secrct in his domestic as well as in his foreign policy, it may be stated decidedly, that the new arrangements talked of can only be the result of conjecture. WHITEHALL, DEC. 29. The King has been pleased to present the Rev. Thomas Kidd to the church and parish of Longside, in the presbytery of Deer, and county of Aberdeen, vacant by the death of the ltcv. William Greig, late minister there. The King has also been pleased to present the Rev. Joseph Yair to the church and parish of Eckford, in the presbytery of Jedburgh, and county of Roxburgh, vacant by the transporta- tion of the Rev. George Gray to the church and parish of Maybole, in the presbytery and county of Ayr. We shall insert Dr. Curtis' letter to the Duke of Wellington in our next Number. It is, however, unimportant. MEETING AT KNUTSFORD, IN CHESHIRE, OF THE FRIENDS OF PROTESTANT ASCENDANCY. December 30, 1828. At an early hour the inhabitants of the town commenced form- ing, with sand or gravel, numerous devices upon the pavement, customs practised here on any particular occasion, among which we noticed, " Protestant Ascendancy !" " No Popery !" " Long live the King!" About ten o'clock numerous bodies of respectable persons began to enter the town, and between that time and half- past eleven the several processions arrived. It was determined to open the Meet- ing at the George, by appointing a chairman, and then toadji to the Sessions House. At twelve o'clock Sir Harry Mainwaring was called to Chair. The Meeting was adjourned to the Sessions House. Among those present we noticed some of the most influential en in the county, and those of the highest respectability. All parties now bent their way towards the Sessions House, the ball of which was instantly completely filled, and wc should think there could not be less than 2,000 persons present. Sir HARRY MAIJTWARINC opened the business of the Meeting, by staling, that he had hoped some other gentleman would have " lied the Chair, but having had the honour, on a previous occa- on, to be Chairtnan, he hoped il would meet with the approba- on of those now~ asscmbled. Although he was of opinion that every man should worship his God in his own way, yet they must all see the threats of the Roman Catholics. He had a great num- ber of Roman Catholic friends, and he had often witnessed their kindness; but the subject had now come to a crisis, and if their demands were granted them, he should from that period date the complete annihilation of our Church, our Throne, and our Consti- tution. An Address to His Majesty, and Petitions to both Houses of Parliament, against any further concession being made to the Catholics, woulilbe proposed to them for adoption. ( Loud ap- plause.) Sir 1' IIILIP EGERTON had not been in the habit of intruding himself on such occasions, but he felt convinced that if the wishes of the Roman Catholics wers complied with, our Holy Church would be brought into danger. He begged now to propose the following address to His Majesty:— " TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. " May it please your Majesty, " We, your Majesty's loyal subjects, inhabitants of the county palatine of Chester, humbly beg lo approach your Majesty with expressions of heartfelt attachment to your Majesty's person and Government, and lay at the foot of the throne our humble ad- dress, with entire confidence in your Majesty's wisdom and firmness. " In the true spirit of the Protestant faith, we avow ourselves the warm and zealous friends of civil and religious liberty, and ardently desire that a free toleration, to the utmost extent com- patible with safety to the State, should be enjoyed by all your Majesty's subjects. " But, whilst we are desirous that those who profess the Ro- man Catholic faith should participate in those inestimable ad- vantages, we cannot contemplate, without great anxiety and alarm, the menacing attitude which they have assumed, their avowed determination to regain their former pre- eminence, the exercise by the priesthood of spiritual power, for objects of tem- poral ambition, and the violent and unconstitutional attempts to grasp political power, by throwing down those barriers which the Intolerant as the Roman Catholics are upon principle, their the higher offices of State would necessarily endan- ger public liberty and the unrestricted exercise of divine worship, and, aspiring and despotic as experience has proved them to be, and impelled onwards to their own aggrandizement, as tlicy are by their unaltered and unalterable tenets, the stability of the throne itself would be shaken by the attainment of their ambi- tious views— added to which, holding no faith with those whom they deem heretics, and acknowledging a foreign supremacy, they can give no security for their allegiance to the King of these realms. " On these grounds wc deprecate the admission of Roman Ca- tholics to any share in the Councils of the kingdom. " We do, therefore, most humbly, but most earnestly, implore your Majesty to protect and defend those bulwarks which have, for upwards of a century, secured to your Majesty's subjects the enjoyment of our matchless Constitution in Church and State ; and we beg to assure your Majesty of our devoted affection and support." ( Immense applause.) CALVELEY COTTON, Esq.— After the two very excellent speeches they had heard, it was almost superfluous to " say any tiling, but lercly to second the Address. The Address was put, and carried unanimously, amidst the most enthusiastic cheering. J. TRAFFORD, Esq, after lowing Petition for adoption :- " To the Right Hon. the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of Hie United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled, " That your petitioners feel it their imperative duty, at such a crisis as The present, publicly to avow their conscientious and unalienable attachment to the constitution of those realms as it is now by law established, and to deprecate with the most solemn earnestness the adoption of any legislative measures whatever which may tend, either directly or in their remote consequences, to invest the professors of the Roman Catholic religion with any further political influence or power in the Government or Coun- cils of the nation. " It is but idle and delusive casuistry to assert, that the obe- dience which the Roman Catholic feels himself bound to yield to the Pope, being of a spiritual nature, does not in any degree « fleet or impnir the allegiance which be may owe to any other prince. " It is too notorious to be any longer denied that the faith of the Roman Catholics is so intimately connected with, and so • lindly subservient to, its views of political aggrandizement, that, . lowever ingeniously the distinction between spiritual and temporal obedience may be maintained in theory, they have invariably been found ulntcd and identified in practice. Without adverting to the history of earlier times, your petitioners have seen this important anil awakening truth confirmed to demonstration by the recent conduct of the Roman Catholics of Ireland, in their entire iubjcction to the authority of their priests, and the effectual jxercise of that formidable coutroul by au ambitious priesthood for the attainment of a political objcct. " Your petitioners have ever been amongst the warmest and . jst zealous friends of religious toleration, and they arc anxious that the blessings of civil and religious liberty should be diffused throughout the land to the uunost extent to which that en- lightened principle can be carried with safety to the state and community. That it is this very consideration which seems im- peratively to demand that the Roman Catholics shonld not be ad- mitted to any share of political power, and the unchanged and un- changeable tenets of their religion, ut the same time, render them iilterly incapable of offering any securities whatever on which a Protestant people could with confidence rely. " To the wisdom, therefore, and firmness" of his Majesty's Go- erninent, and of the Legislature of this empire, we look up with anxiety indeed, but without dismay, for the preservation of our Protestant Constitution in Church and State, entire and unim- paired, without any compromise of its efficiency; without any mrrender of its rights. " And your petitioners will ever pray." The petition having been read, and seconded by Colonel INCE, > YRS carried with the most tumultuous applause. LONG ACRE EPISCOPAL CHAPEL BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.
