MY D E A B SIR, WE, the Subscribers to the GLAUNTANE DISPENSARY, assembled it a General Meeting, receive with sincere regret your resignation of the office of Physician to ot* Charitable Institution. We ate fully impressed with the advantages which the Poor of this extensive parish have received from yourskill, attention, and bentvolcnce, for the last 11 years, during which time you have been the Medical attendant of the Glountane Dispensary. While we regret your resignation, we would wish lo express our satisfaction at your increased professional employment, which lias induced you to relinquish the care of our Institution, and had jour extended practice permitted you to reside among us, we should have deemed your residence an important benefit to the poor of this Parish to whom you have been so long a kind and skilful Physician. Wishing you every suceess in your Profession, and every happiness in life, we are your obedient servants, for Self and Subscribers, ADAM NEWMAN, Chairman. Dispensary House, Dec, 29, 1837. Mallow, Dec. 30, 1837. MY D E A R SIB,... Present my warmest and most grateful thanks to the Chairman and Subscribers to the Glountaune Dispensary, for the very flattering manner in which they have expressed approbation of my services during a period of eleven years, that I J> » d the honour of being connected with them ; such a testimony is to me truly valuable, and shall ever be regarded with feelings of pleasure nnd gratitude. Had circumstances permitted, it would have afforded me much pkavure to have remained in charge of your Institution ; but as tie connexion which so long and happily existed is now dissolved tit is highly gratifying to me that my humble endeavours to discharge faithfully and conscientiously the arduoui and' important duties connected with the situation should have given such general satisfaction, and that my resignation should have called forth feelings of regret. With sincere wishes for the welfare of your Institution and the happiness and prosperity of all connected with it. I remain, dear Sir, your obedient servant, THOMAS H. JUSTICE. R e v . M. H. BECUF.

JOHN D A L Y respeetfully announces the return of one of his buyers from England and Scotland, and the arrival of his Winter Stock of Carpeting and ManchesterGoods. Its extent is beyond parallel in thelmportations of Irish Houses, and its Variety and general character above what could be adequately conveyed within the limits of an Advertisement ; suffice to say, that whatever the greatest care and most minute attention could achieve, in selections from the Stocks of the most eminent Manufacturers in England and Scotland, has been accomplished, and that there is now to be seen at the BRITISH and IRISH HAM., an assortment of Carpetting and Manchester Goods, in its most extended variety, surpassing any ever before collected by one Establishment in the City of Cork. THE IMPORTATIONS OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT IN THE LAST MONTH AMOUNTED TO OVER 80 BALES, Consisting of several Thousand Yards of Brussels, Kidderminster and Scotch Carpetting, newest Patterns ; Tarpauline from Eighteen Inches to Five Yards wide ; , Painted Baizes for covering Tables; Carriage and Gig Mats; Stair Carpetting ; a great variety of splendid Hearth Rugs; Green and Grey Cloth for covering Carpets, some 4 yards wide ; Hassocks , Bell- ropes , Fringes of every colour; Irish and Scotch Tickens ; Horse Sheeting, newest London patterns; together with an endless quantity of Linens, Corduroys, English and Royal Matting, White and Grey Calicoes, Hosiery, Sheeting, Damasks and Moreens, Hollands, Green, Purple and Scarlet Card Cloths, Welch and Irish Flannels of every widlh, and at least 2000 Pair of Best super Blankets, Marseilles Quills and Counterpanes, Mattiesses, Palliasses, & c. In soliciting a continuance of Public Patronage, the Proprietor of this Concern does not consider it necessary to resort to the method now so prevalent, in order to excite notice, namety, asserting a decided preference over all other Establishments, land professing to Sell Goods for less » han they c « n be obtained from the Manufacturers— also inserting the Prices of Goods in Advertisements, which can only mislead the Public, for no Person can possibly ascertain the value of any article unless by inspection. Abstaining from these modes of attraction, the Proprietor ot the British and Irish Hall thinks it only necessary to safte, that his stock contains every article of the Newest Pattsrns in Carpetting, & c , now manufactured. The object of the Proprietor being to establish an extensive trade, he wili dispose of his splendid stock at an exceedingly small profit, much under what a house of less extent can possibly do ; the Pubiic will therefore derive the advantage of purchasing a single yard of any article in this Concern at the same price a piece ean be obtained from any Wholesale House in Ireland. Ifaf Please to observe, No Second Price.

THE P U B L I C are respectfully informed that the Board of Directors have directed the Rates on the three following Classes of Insurance to be reduced as under : Common Insurance from 2s. to Is. 6d. Per Cent. Hazardous 3s. to 2s. Od. >- per Doubly Hazardous 5s. to 4s. Od. J Annum. The DIRECTORS hereby inform the Public that thev have reduced the Table of LIFE ASSURANCE for One, and Seven years, generally 20 per cent. They have published a set of Tables showing the premium to be paid for 3, 5, 7, 10,15, and 20 years only, and cease after. This mode is strongly recommended as an important improvement in the principles of LIFE ASSURANCE, as the Profits of Ihe Company attach to the Policies issued on this plan equal ly with those made for the whole continuance of Life— so that in either case the Representatives of a party who has effected a policy of 1,000 may ultimately become entitled to £ 1,200 of £ 1,500 without having contributed a greater amount of Premium than that which is usually paid for the sum originally insured. By the Rates charged at this office, it will be found that the conditions in which the LONDON UNION SOCIETY granted Assurances, are more favourable, and yet the rates are in everv instance more moderate than any yet offered to tho public. And to manifest the advantages resulting to those who are assured with the office, it is only necessary to state that THE ADDITION OF PROFITS payable with tlie sum Insured on all Policies effected for the whole of life on and prior to Dicember 31s<. 1833, and duly in force, has been declared, and will amount, with the previous Bcnus on a scale from 16/. 9s. per Cent. ON THE SUM INSURED on Policies ofthe longest duration, and varying accordingly with their dales. This appropriation is made on the Sum Insured, and not merely upon the amount of Premiums. Every description of LIFE INSURANCE effected with facility, and in the most satisfactory and confidential manner. Military persons are not charged with an extra Premium, if serving within the limits of the United Kingdom. In this Office, the age of every person on whose Life an Assurance is effected, is always ascertained and endorsed on the Policy previous to its being handed over to the Assignees, and thus, as no further proof of the age is afterwards required, all further trouble or risk is in this respect avoided. POLICIES which fall due on the 26th Dec., instant, should be renewed on or before the 9th Jan, as the usual 15 days allowed for payment will then expire- The receipts for same are ready for delivery at the Office. Fire Insurances can be changed to this Office from any other clear of any obstacle. RICHARD EX1IAM & SON, Dec. 25th. 1837. Agents, 65, South Mall.

U P P E R CANADA FROM TORONTO PAPERS RECEIVED THIS MORNING. GREAT MEETING OF THE FIVE TToUNTlES. ST. MARC, TUESDAY MORNINQ, 4, O'CLOCK. From the Montreal Vindicator. The meeting of the Five Counties took place yesterday, at noon, at St. Charles. There were present at least Five Thou_ and persons. Many estimate the number much higher. The roads through the country are in a very bad state. Were it not for that circumstance, the number present at the meeting would have been double what It was. At a little after noon, the pro oeedingi of the day commenced. The people met in a large meadow, near the village, belonging to Dr. Duvert, where a hustings had been prepared. Among the gentlemen present were thirteen members of the House of Assembly, and one member of the Legislative Council who came as a delegate from Vercheres. Every gentleman of character and influence on the River Chamblv, and adjoining parishes, was on the ground, and among them were to be seen many who, up. to this day, entertained very moderate opinions, but whom Lord Gosford's policv has driven into a determination to stand by their Coun'trv, come what will. Wolfred Nelson. Esq. of St. Dennis presided over the meeting, f . T. Drolet and Doctor Duvert were the Vice- Presidents. The Secretaries were Messrs. Girod and Boucher- Belleville. The meeting was addressed by the President; tbe. Hon. Mr. Papineau, L. M. Vigcr, Esq , M. P . L. Lacoste, Esq., M. P., G. H. O. Cote, Esq., M. P., E. E. Rodtcr, Esq., M. P., T. S. Blown, Esq , and Mr. Gtrod... The resolutions passed on this occasion are moderate in spirit. They commenced by briefly enumerating the Rights of Man, among which is that of changing its political institutions, and altering the form of its government whenever the people please. The inhabitants of the several counties are next invited to meet simultaneously in their respective Parishes in the month of December, and efcef Magis trates and Officers of Militia ; any person accepting a Commission from this time to Lor* Gosford's departure is declared infamous, and the meeting recommend the officers to train the militia. Ihe meeting protests strongly against the introduction of armed troops in time of pcacc, in the colony; it declares at the same time, that it commisserates the lot of tho poor soldiers, the desertion of whom to the neighbouring States, the people declare they will not prevent. The meeting afterwards solemnly approves the organization of " The Sons of Liberty," and calls on the young men throughout the country to organize themselves into similar bodies, in their respective parishes, to be prepared to assist the Society in Montreal whenever cirtumstaneee call on them to act. The County of L' Acadic was admitted into the union by acclamation, amid the firing of vollies pf musketry, and the roar of cannon, and it was further resolved that the Counties of Lapraira and Missisquoi, may join the confederation. During the Meeting a company of between 60 and 100 Militia men attended, with arms on the ground, under the command of Captains Lacaissc and Jalbert. They went through their manceuvrcs in very good style ; a volley was fired at the passing of every Resolution. The weather was beautiful during the whole of the day ; nothing could cqnal the regularity and order which prevailed throughout. The ground was covered with flags bearing various inscriptions. A very handsome column, surmounted with " a Cap of Liberty," was erected, on the occasion, in honour of Papineau, on the groand. It bears an inscription of which the following i3atrnaslation !—'• To Papineau, by his grateful brother patriots, 1836.* After the meeting was over, Mr. Papineau was led to the front of the column, and addressed by one of the gentlemen, to whom the Honourable gentleman replied in a suitable manner. The Young Men who attended the meeting afterwaid3 marched in procession to the pillar, before which they sung a popular hymn, and laying their hands upon the columns, swore that they would be faithful lo their country, and conqner or die for her. This solemn vow was registered in the hearts of all present, amid volleys of musketry and the thundert of artillery. It was a solemn and impressive sight. SECOND DAY'S PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONFEDERATION OF THE SIX COUNTIES. MONTREAL, OCT, 3 1 , 1 8 3 7. In conformity with the Resolution passed at tho General Meeting yesterday, the Delegates met this day, at the Village of St. Charles, to consider such other propositions as may be submitted to them. The said resolution having been read, and explanations having been given by the Chairman, Dr. W. Nelson, Dr. Cote, and Mr. A. Girod, a committee was appointed to draft an address on the part of the Confederation to the People of Canada. On motion of Mr. P. Bertram! N. P. of St. Matliias, seconded by Lieut. Jos. Tetreau dit Pucharme. J. P. Resolved... That it is the opinion of this meeting that the Pro vincial Legislature exists only in name, and that it is nullified in feet, and that when the Government trampled under foot organic laws by virtue of which society is constituted, the People should maintain them. On motion of Mr, Jacques David Herbert, of L'Acadie, second edbyMr. J. B. Tctreau, of St. Marie, Resolved; That the people should consequently provide for its own wants, establish that superintendance Deccsaary to good order as well as to social happiness, and that the Convention the members of which were named at the several primary meetings of Counties throught the Province, would be a body to which such a duty might be confided. On the motion of Mr. F. C. Avet dit Malo, J. P ol St. Eamase, Seconded by Capt. J. B. Beaudry, of St. Jane Baptiste, Resolved... That this meeting, relying on the enlightened pa triotism, of the members who should form the said Convention CRIIS upon them seriously to consider if the time is not at hand when it ought to meet. The Committee named to draft an address to the inhabitants of tho Province, here reported a project of address, according to order, and the same having been read, it was, on motion of C H. O. Cote, Esq., M. P., seconded by E. N. Duchesnois, Esq unanimously- Resolved, That the said address bo received and adopted. On motion of Dr. Labruere. of St. Hyacinthe, seconded by C. Duvert, Esq. of St. Charles, Resolved, That the said address be entitled, " The Address of the Confederation of the Six Counties of St. Hyacintho, ltou ville, Richclieu, Verchcres, Chambly and L'Acadie, to their Fel low- citizens of Lower Canada," and that it be signed by the officcrs for and in tbe name of this meeting, and published. t From th-.

We received yesterday the London Journals of Tuesday, and this morning those of Wednesday, with dates from Paris to Monday inclusive. The intelligence, through the latter Capital, from Spain shews some renewed activity on the part of the Carlists. THE FUNDS. CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK, WEDNESDAY— We h a v e no a r r i v a l s this morning of tlie least importance, with the exception of the Frcncli Mail and an express from Paris ; consequently the current report which prevailed yesterday afternoon and which caused a panic in the BrazilianStock ( with a fall of 5 to 0 per cent.) must have beeu an invention for some stock- jobbing purposes. At the opening of the Foreign Market this morning, a re- action took place in the Brazilian Stock, and it reached 73; at present may be quoted 724; Spanish Active, 124 with Coupons j Portuguese, 294 j 3 per Cents., 194 ; Dutch 24 per Cents., 524 to J ex- dividend ; Mexican, 25 to 264 i Colombian; 234 to 24. Owing to there being so few arrivals this morning, with a great dearth of intelligence, the British Market is Inactive, and Consols may be quoted at 924 for the Account ; Exchequer Bills, 24d 45 48 ; 2d per day, 4- 1 46 ; India Bonds, 25 27 ; Bank Stock, 2354 ; India Stock, 266 2674- Yesterday the period having expired within which notice was to be given at the India House, by the proprietors of Bonds, who were desirous of exchanging them for New Bonds, bearing interest of three per cent— it appears, that out of ^ 6J3,520,000. whieh is the total amount of Bonds in circulation, application, have been made for such exchange to the extent of nearly ^ 3,200,000, according to the rule laid down by the Company. From Liverpool accounts received tbis morning state that the Courier, Nelson, arrived there in eighty days from Valparaiso.

We received this morning our usual supply, in great variety, of Papers from Toronto in Upper Canada, down to the 20th of November. They are not, as the reader will perceive by this acknowledgment, of so late a date as the accounts from Lower Canada ; but they furnish a mass of matter showing, beyond all doubt, that the spirit of resistance and hostility to British dominion is as great in the Upper District as in the lower, and that there must have been, previous to the breaking out of the Insurrection on the 22d of December, into open hostility, a • wilful concealment from the British Public of many proceedings which were taking place that were likely to lead to such a result. It will be recollected that the Montreal Papers, the Vindicator and another, which were the Organs of the Movement Party, were— not indeed suppressed, but theoffices in which they j were published and the printing materials totally destroyed. Whilc these Papers were in existence, they doubtless must have contri- [ buted powerfully to encourage the revolt, tbe. articles and ap- j peals which we now find transferred from them to the Toronto : Papers being of a most exciting nature ; but the avidity with which they were there published, as well as the numerous meetings which were held there, and in the other parts of Upper j Canada, to carry out and effect what was recommended by the | P A F I N E A U party in Lower Canada, proves incontestibly that the sympathy was and is very strong between both, and, as a con- L A T E S T F R O M C A N A D A.

The accounts are as follow :— ( FROM THE BUFFALO JOURNAL.) WEDNESDAY, 6TH DEC. SIX, P. M... We have been favoured with the following copy of a letter from a gentleman of great respect- I ability at Queenston, U. C., annonncing that the city of Toronto is in possession ofthe patriots of the Upper Provirice, and hasten to lay it before our readers in an extra. TO DAVID M. DAY, ESQ. Queenston. Dee. 6, 1867. D E A R SIR—. 1 write you in great haste, to inform you of what, at least to us, is interesting and important. Captain Whitney has just arrived from Toronto, which place he states was attacked yesterday by Ihe Radicals and taken. The Governor and all the officials are pent up in tho markethouse. Many buildings were burnt, some lives lost, and many taken prisoners The captain was sent hero to drum up volunteers, liut he has succeeded in getting very few. The loyalists will not generally turn out, and but little fighting will take place, at least ibis fall, in Upper Canada. ( FROM THE TELEGRAPH AND ADVOCATE F. XTRA, I. EWISTON, N . Y ., DECEMBER, 1837.) We have received the following communication from a source entitled to the utmost confidence :— Four o'Clock, p. m. SIR— Tho steam boat Traveller, Captain Whitney, arrived Niagara this morning at seven o'clock, from Toronto, which sequence, that the difficulty of putting down the Insurrection i place he left four hours before. The boat, with a i l e D u t a t i o n , was SPAIN. The fall of the Cabinet is predicted in every quarter. ESPARTERO has refused the War department, well knowing that the sun of his greatness sets for ever the instant he is removed from the head of tho army, It is reported that CORDOVA, who is a Royal favourite, nnd supported by the influence of the Camarilla, will be apponted to a seat in the Cabinet. We trust no such misfortune is reserved for the Spanish nation. Advices from the Spanish frontier reiterate and deny the report of the departure ofthe Carlist expedition towards Navarre. The correspondent of a London Morning Paper, under date of the 8th instant, writes thus :— Notwithstanding the assertion that Basilio Garcia had passed the Ebro at the head of the Carlist expedition, I can assure you tbis has not been the case. There was meiely a review on the 19th of eleven battallions ; of these eight were Castilians, two Arragoncse, and one Valencians. The battalions are from 500 to 600 strong, well equipped, but the men are wretched. Villareal refuses sternly all the offers and advances of Don Carlos, expressing his indignation at the treatment received by Zariategui, Elio, Torre, and Guihelade' The division, or army, reviewed 011 the 19th, moved on the 21st, not over the Ebro, but towards Navarre, where the very Carlists arc ready to declare against Don Carlos and his new juntas. The Christinos are standing with their arms across, though the weather is extremely fine." Opposed to this is the following statement which appears in the columns of the P H A R E DE BATONNE 1 . .. The new expedition, which the Pretender has organized ami equipped with a rapidity that is not common, began its movement on the 21st of this month. It left Amuerio under the command of Basilio Garcia, and is really composed of only Castilians and Aragonese. Wc have not yet been able to learn whether the 14 battalions reviewed at Llotiio on the 12th by the Pretender, had also marched under that commander, or whether some of them have been removed to be sent in another direction. All that we have learnt. « o as to leave no room for doubts, is tnat Basilio Garcia proceeded on the abovementioned day towards tho FJncartaciones, and that on the same day Castor Anderchaga made a movement towards Santander. It i3 hardly to bo supposed that General Fiimin Iriarte, who was at Balmaseda watching the . movements of the troops compos ing the Carlist expedition, has been strong enough seriously to oppose ihe departure of Basilio Garcia. The small force under his command i3 evidently for the purpose of observation only ; and it must, doubtless, be General Bucrans, who is posted at Miranda with tbe 22d battallion, that will have to pursue the expedition into the Aslurias or Old Castile. Of Espartero's movements actual or intended, we find no notice in the advices received from the Spanish capita). To the extreme Liberal party bis conduct appeared very suspicious... and not without reason. Before Spain can assert her supremacy over all her enemies, she must remove him from the command of her Army. The new Minister of Finance, at the urgent request of Sir George Villicrs, has transmitted i>, 0U0/, to San Sebastian for the use of the Officers and men of the lato British Auxiliary Legion. H A N O V E R . All the information from Hanover combines to show that the Hanoverians, though not quick to take lire, will yet blaze out, anil make their country too hot to hold Ernest, unless he abates very considerably of that activity which his partizans admire, and which consists in destroying constitutions, and ordering troops to a scat of learning to siiflle tbe expression of public opinion. ROYAL MARRIAGES. A rumour has gained some credit in the diplomatic world in Paris, that the Emperor of Russia, not satisfied with his projected of a matrimonial alliance between the Grand Duchess Olga and the Duke tie Bordeaux, has long been negotiat ng a marriage for his son and heir with the Princess Clementina of Baden. The negotiation, according to these reports, is on the point of being concluded- The young Princess is said to be only 18 years ot age, and possessed of great attractions ; and it is added that her portrait was sent two years ago to the Autocrat, One of the conditions of the marriage, exacted by the Emperor, is stated to'he tho dismissal of two Baden ministers, who are supposed to belong to the Frcnch parly, and theappoinlment in their placcs of two statesmen attached to tbe Rustian system ; whilst at the san. e time Russia intends to profit by the increased influence she may gain from these matrimonial negotiations to support with all her power the erection of the fortress of RaStadt. will not be so easy as some persons imagine. The Papers now on our table— and they are large in size and many in number— are crowded with reports of speeches delivered at, resolutions adopted by, and addresses emanating from, meetings held in various places in Upper Cinada of the , nature alluded to, and all conveyed and expressed in the most ardent and enthusiastic language. Three numbers of this Journal, devoted exclusively to the purpose, would not contain what is spread over the Toronto Papers of proceedings of this character, and we must be content, for the present, with giving this general description of them. In our next, we may furnish some extracts which will serve for samples of the entire. In the meantime we give in another column an account from the Toronto Constitution, which copied it from the Montreal Vindicator, before the extinction by force of that Journal, of a meet, ing of Five Counties held at Montreal on the 28th of October, which we now find for the first time noticed in these Countries, thus confirming what we have already stated, that much of what was passing in that Country had been withheld or suppressed. We conclude our notice of these Papers with the two following articles from the Papers of the two opposing parties in Upper Canada, the Toronto Patriot and Toronto Constitution, which will show pretty plainly how inveterately committed they are against each other. ( From the Patriot.) Sir Francis Head has given up all the troops to bo employed in Lower Canada, and left the loyal and disloyal face to face; himself and his family in the midst, without even a sentry over the Government House. Let the rebelliously disposed, if any there be, risa up in arms I What can they do? I have already asked this question of 20 persons, but not one has given mea satisfactory answer... 1 can therefore only give you my owa... I will tell you what I think can be attempted and leave you to judge what chance there could be of success for those who should be wicked or foolish enough to make the attempt— The most important object to bo achieved despatched by the governor for volunteers from this district, to the immediate aid of the government, ar. d to return forthwith. The Reformers ofthe Home District, it issaui, reached Toronto the night before last, in great numbers ( 3, C00), when tho volunteers ill behalf of the government were called to oppose their coming into tbe city, when a running fire took place... Colonel Moodie, late of the lt) 4th, was shot dead, and a number of prisoneis were taken, among whom are Archibald M'Donald ( Sheriff Gore District) and Col. Wells. Sheriff Jarvis's house and otners were tired and burnt, The governor and his council are in the Market- square, James Brown and 300 volunteers are in the fort. Mr. Speaker M'Nab, with 80 volunteers, reached the city yesterday. Colonel W. Chisholm is expcctcd to day from Oakville, with the volunteeis he can get in aid of the government, and from Whitbv a few yeomanry cavalry are looked for. The Reformers h ive at their couneil Dr. Jolm Rodolph, and others of high standing. Three Hags of truce were sent in yesterday 10 the government with the following terms 1— 1st... To dissolve the present parliament. 2d... Grant an Elective Legislative Council. 3d.. That tlie Governor leave the* province in two weeks. Queenston, U. C., Dec. 6. P.

( FROM THE ALBANY ALTGUS, DEC. 1 1 — E X T R A .) IMPORTANT FROM UPPER CANADA — R I S I NG OF THE REOFLE, AND ATTACK ON TORONTO CONFIRMED. Lewiston ( Niagara Co ) Dec. 6. II o'clock at Night. DEAR SIR... Presuming you will be desirous of obtaining the latest information in relation to the revolutionary movements in Upper Canada, I have forwarded, by this day's mail, a " T H E NEW MODE OF CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS DAY " TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTHERN REPORTER, Ovens, Jan. 3, 1838. SIR — I did not think there existed an individual, protending even to the name of Christian, * ho could bring himself to justify so iniquitous a transaction as that of breaking into a poor man's house, and consigning him to the horrors of a dreary prison long before dawn on CHRISTMAS DAY, for the recovery of a few pounds, more especially at the suit of a minister of the Gospel. Cruel, and rapacious, and Godless in character, and seared in conscience as with a hot iron as the great majority of the agents of the Tythe system are known to he, I really did persuade, myself that tho worthy brotherhood could not furnish a shark or a sycophant so basclybad, as to iden'ifyhimself with this brutal, impious outrage, and sanction, by his name and authority, a most wanton act ol profanation,' hat at once ranks him and the abettors of his cause with the disciples of Mammon or of Moloch, rather than with the worshippers of CHRIST. Yet a person, of course a Tythc Agent, o f t h e unfortunate name of " Charles Lystcr," stands forth in your paper of Tuesday, tho* his letter. 1 am sure, is the joint production of Lyster Harvey, & Co. to the gaze and scandal of tbe public, as the advocate and eulogist of this unprecedented abomination. HO has taken upon himself, with more of the mock gallantry and swagger o f a drilLsorgeantthan becomes the grave and paid servant of a pious and prosperous preacher of the word, the entire responsibility of this ungodly proceeding. Even' Christmas morning, in his orthodox and merciful creed, is a fitting time and opportunity for the House breaker to go on with his felon work of destruction in the r. ame and on behalf of the Protestant Church Establishment. If a follower of Mahomet, who holds tho Christian name in hatred, or an avowed highwayman, whose trade was robbery and blood, advanced this doctrine, it would be intelligible ; but that ii should be adddueed by tho agent, tho representative of a Christian Clergyman, as his rule in the collection of that Clergyman's Tythe Composition- rent, is indeed a melancholy verification of the maxim, that the Devil can quote scripture for his purpose," and that when power is confided to the hands of the ignorant, insolent, and the intolerant, its abuse is inevitable. ' 4 In times like these," he says, 4< when the laws are openly defied, it is necessary that every man who seeks their protection for his property should omit no opportunity to enforce them." Precious expounder of the Laws 1 Inspired Commentator on the Scriptures! Balaam's Ass was not half so oracular and holy as this Christmas present to the Parsons, this Heaven- born champion of Church and State, CHARLES LYSTER. But, to be serious, and sink the folly of this comical compound of blockhead and slave in the awful magnitude of the case under consideration, would it not, let me ask, l e becoming, in honor of HIM who came to forgive and canecl all our debts by His Divine Mediatorship between GOD and man... who brought peace on earth to men of good will, and whose Angels made the midnight hour vocal with songs ofcelestial praise, blending Heaven and Earth into one according harmony of mercy and of love ; would it not be right and decorous, during that sacred hour, at least, to make a pause in the odious business of house- breaking and incarceration on the pan of those who profess to be His disciples and the dispensers of His doctrines? Every well- constituted mind will reply " it undoubtedly would." No one but a hireling, like Charles Lyster, or a bloated Churchman, who cares much for his fees but little for his flock, would assert the contrary ; and I know, and can prove, that several Protestants, lay and clerical, have expressed themselves horrified at the sacrilegious transaction. It brings the principles of the Christian Religion and the practice of the Established Church into such glaring contrast, tbat the most partial and deluded— all but the paid votaries of the system. must shrink from the exhibition, and designate it, at best, as a most ill- timed and dis- edifying spectacle. Indeed his own statement, that his principal, Mr. Harvey, knew nothing of the time or manner of Leary's caoture, is sufficient proof that a blunder has been committed, which Mr. HARVEY has too much policy not to disown, and which poor Mr. Lyster has not the manliness to ad: mit, though the Rector has obviously thrown the old soldier over him, and dexterously encumbered him with the infamy of tho whole affair. He has in truth, given to the conduct of six reckless miscreants a most impious and appalling seriousness, by adopting it as his own. Having thus shown him to be directly opposed to every feeling of propriety and every principle of religion in his general argumei; t of justification, I now proceed to convict him, even though the task be one of supererogation, of the grossest misrepresentations and falsehoods with regard to his facts. He says " they." meaning thercbellion ruffians, " long looked for him, Mi'jhaei Leary, in vain." This is totally and entirely false, as it will be proved tbat the man never slept a night from his house for the last three months, and that his days were principally devoted to the cultivation of his little farm of eighteen acres, ill which, unfortunately, like most of the Cottier farmers of the country, ho has not a farthing interest. Again, this redoubled Sancho of the Church miwould be the capture of the city of Toronto. 1 will suppose that sl'P h ° m ll> e office of the Telegraph. printed in this village, which litant admits the horrid fact " tbat the poor man was arrested on J Iott., 1 iviovi ftnlir AAnlrl hn ormnrl frti* ita CnfltrilllS nil th. i t . i< 5 Vpf knnum horo fin ti. f » I Ch vicfrtnnc mfirnintr " hut r> r » t V< o r » rt/ lo » < mith/ Mit nn. n!

Mr, Mosse, one of the witnesses in the Pontefract case ( where the biidge broke down under the gang), stated, in the examination, that he 4 became concerned lor Gompertz about a week before the Pontefract election, through the medium of a Dr. Boyton, who requested him to call on Gom: pertz, stating that he wished to be returned to parliament.'

CHURCH RATE3.— The deputies from tbe congregations of Dis scnters of tbe three denominations, Presbyterians, Independent, and Baptist, met at the King's head in the Poultry, on Wednesi day last, and renewed their protest against tho continuance of the unjust burden of church rates, and impressed upon their then chosen committee the importance of taking prompt and efficient measures for procuring their early and entire abolition-—- Globe. one thousand loyal men only could be armed for itsderence, then I say that ten thousand assailants could not capture it, for 1 assure ! the loyal men of Toronto that, there is no kind of fortress so difficult to carry as a town or city of any magnitude, witness Buenos Ayres against British Troops, and Saragossa against the French I— Let them be assured that with the means now within | the City, it can easily be defended, so long as the defenders have provisions and ammunition, ag- iinst all the disloyal mm in Upper Canada !— If the rebellious have any military knowledge and ilis_ cretion, among them, they will not attempt its capture; and i' they do attempt it, they will be destroyed 1" From the Constitution. We see by the last Patriot that ihe government apprehended , that an attempt will be made " by the rebelliously disposed," to j lake the city of Toronto. Only a few months ago the governor ! assured t. he British authorities that his system was very popular I now he thinks of martial law, arrests, captures, and violence, and speaks of putting down the disaffected. He clings to arbitrary power as a safeguard ; and, guided by the fearful and spiteful renegade Sullivan, plans and schemes many foolish things.... One course yet he might take, and thereby avert much evil— lie might dissolve the Assembly, call a free parliament, omit his in- I flammatory addresses,& simply tell the freeholders that if it should be their wish through their representatives he would agree to re- I gulate our local affairs, dismissals, and appointments, by and with the advice of an executive council possessed ofthe public confidence. Moderate men would see in this, the fulfilment of Simcoo's promise to give us the British Constitution, as far as a colony can have it, and he would neither need lo act the tyrant nor the coward... his government of force would bechanged for a government resting 011 opinion. Such a course all parties would advise, if they dared! but we have 110 hope of Sir Francis He has roused the minds of the people in every distirict in the colony, and in two short years become more Konerally disliked than all the governors who were before him. Even the Montreal Journals w hich once ere loud in his praise, breathe tne mercantile feeling against him in no doubtful language. Aud lie deserves it. No man should set up his own judgment against that of a whole people, although backed by a swarm of parasites, some of whom will hereafter make a merit that they advised him to his ruin. Too many of his appointments have been, like that of Gurnett, the most injudicious that could be devised, and as every body knows lhat his councils are cyphers, he gets tbe undivided odium of such ridiculous selections. He pleases half a dozen of worthless parasites to gain the ill- will of a country. A responsible council would shift the blame off his shoulders, and when its members became unpopular lie could shift them also. The Roman Catholic Bishops of Lower Canada are doing all they probably can to oppose Mr. Papineau and the Canadian people, iu their design of obtaining British Freedom. Thcso prelates denounce Papineau in their pastoral letters, as a man who is more friendly to the heresy of the Protestant reformation than lo fhe power and authority of his holiness tho Pope. Toe Bishops, how - ever, have noinfluence with the people... they say we will never be happy till we have a free domestic responsible government. Who shall say nay!— Toronto Constitution.

Miss N — a n d the daughter in- law, Miss D - — , having eloped. It appears after the ladies had lunched they went for a walk, and not appearing at seven o'clock at night, the family began to be alarmed. At nine o'clock they received information that Ihe ladies were gone off in a hired chaise to be married. The parents immediately commenced pursuit ; but whethcrthey were successful or not we have not vet learned. One of I bo young ladies is only 14 years old.

HErORTER OFFICE, Three o'Clock, p. m. The preceding extracts from, and commentaries upon, the Toronto Papers received at this Office this morning were in type, and we were preparing to go to press when the vastly important intelligence which will be found in tho next column readied us, confirmatory- to the fullest extent of our staicmcnt, that the state and disposition of Upper Canada hud been totally misrepresented or suppressed, and of our confident anticipation that great danger lay there. I The Oxford, New York Packet, which sailed from thence on 1 the 16th ult., reached Liverpool ere yesterday and brought ao counts of the Revolt having broken out at Toronto, tho Capital of Upper Canada, of tho taking possession of it by the Insur- i gents, anil the capture of Sir F R I N C I S HEAD and his Counc i who arc stated to be imprisoned. It is stated in a New York Paper that Toronto was retaken and that Sir FRANCIS HEAD had issued Rewards for the uppre- 1 hension of the leaders ; but though the New York Paper says this will be seen, there is no cxtract or article to sustain it. 1 It is stated that terms of reconciliation and peace, embracing the Dissolution of the present Parliament, the grant of an Elective Council, and the removal of the Governor from the Province within a fortnight, had. been offered to the Government: but this seems unlikely. If the Insurgents were successful they would make no such offer ; if they were not, tlicy were in no position to tender it. The i\ ew Fork Commercial Advertiser of December 12, stated as follows i— If the report3 from the frontier are to be relied on, the capital of Upper Ciiuada has been wrested from the Government of Sir Francis Head, and from appearances tho whole upper province will soon share the same fate. It will be recollected that all the regular troops were sent to the lower province, and that a large quantity of arms, & c were removed from the barracks at Toronto and placid under the care of the civil authorities of that city. The first intelligence of the difficulty near tbe capital was brought to Oswego from Bclvillc, which is at the head of ibe bay ofQuinte, and on the post road from Toronto to Kingston, The next, and more iu detaii, is said to have been carried to Quinte by Capt. Whitney, of the steam boat Great Britain. It proceeds to say that Toronto had been captured, and Sir F. Head and his Council taken prisoners ; also that Sir F. Head and family had escapcd iri a steam boat. This account, however, was contradictcd in the same paper next day, as follows 1 — We hasten to communicate the important intelligence from Upper Canada, received by the northern mail of this morning. It will be seen that the insurgents h ive been defeated, and that proclamation offering a reward of contains all that, is yet known here 011 the subject. The Canadian population appear to be in 11 very high state of excitement, and a secret organisation, for the purpose of effecting a revolution, seems to have been going on in every part of the province, totally unknown to the government. Many individuals of the highest standing are engaged in this revolutionary movement, and there is little doubt of its extending, iu a very short period, throughout the whole extent of the Upper Province. Tbe government is entirely destitute of regular troops, and have to rely on the local inhabitants for aid, aud they form- a very small part of the population. 1 presume they will not be able long to contend against a people who are determined to be free. ( FROM TIIE ST. LAWRENCE REPUBLICAN, EXTRA.) OGDENSBURGH, NEW YORK, DFC. 8... The steam boat Kingston arrived, express, 11: Prescott, bringing important intelligence of the first blow for liberty having been struck in the Upper Province. An attempt was maile to arrest Mr. M'Kcnzie for treason or sedition, by the officers of the Government supported by the militia, when the people arose in their might and released the prisoner, and discomfited the myrmidons of ir: responsible power, with the loss of a colonel of militia, and five men killed, and a captain and several men wounded. We also have the report from authentic sources, that the Glen gary militia, wh ose coloiicls proffered their regiments to Lord Gosford, have to a man refused to inarch, and it is said, cooled the ardour of some of their ultra loyai officers by an immersion in the St Lawrcnce. The sympathies of our citizens along the line are greatly cxcit cd in favour ol' the patriots, and meetings aie being called in allt directions, to embody and express ihe feeling of the public. No movement had taken place in Lower Canada since the last adviccs.

We have been favoured with a copy of a letter, of tbo dale of December 7, from Toranto, which states that at the the time of writing the letter, ( about noon) the government forces were engaged with the patriots, about two miles from the city of Toronto, from which place ihey had been driven. The express who brought tho letter farther states that became out of the ci'y with the troops, ana that before ho passed them, , three rounds had been fired upon the rebels.

EDITOR. Extract from a letter from Mr. ENSOR, which appears in the Belfast Northern Whig oi Thursday:— " When Mahomet conquered Constantinople, he divided the places of worship between those of his own religion and the Christians. In Ireland, the Protestant clergy seized all the churches to their own use. Compare the parlies, in other particulars. The Turks levy on tneir Christian subjects a tax called the haratch. the price of their lives, which they say, by conquest, they had forfeited. The tithe levied on Catholics, in Ireland, is an aggravated haratch to the insulters of their Priests, and their' religion, and the special opponents of their relief. Yet, the Catholics submit; their Representatives are silent, or they profess to labour to secure the exacting clerical tyrqnny. I know nothing like this, iu modern or ancient story, unless'what is related by the Roman writer on architecture. Vitruvius relates, that tho Rhodians dared not pull down a statute representing the slavery of their country, because it was consecrated. GEOUGF KNSOR Ardrcss, Jan. I, 1838.

Every one lliiows him to be one of the richest Rectors in the Church, and wlflld'hit family and himself roll into Town in their carriage, poor Lcary's wife and daughters wa'k through mud, knee- deep, to visit bim in prison ; and f hesitate not to assert that it would require more Canon Law than Mr. Harvey or Mr. Lyster ever learned, to prove that any value, temporal or spiritual, given to Leary, could warrant the emissaries of either to break into this unhappy roan's house, and draghiin into gaol, to pass within its walls this blessed season of Christmas... If an odious law must be enforced, a man of kind aud Christian feeling would divest it as much as possible of every unnecessary aggravation. He would not choose Christinas day for putting his Parishioner into prison ; or if he had the misfortune through his proxy to do so, he would, like a Christian Clergyman, and a humane man, take the earliest opportunitv to atone for and rectify his error. For my part I am utterly indifferent to the praise or blame of cach and all of the Godless gang engaged in this transaction. My hostility is principally directed against the system, and not against the grasping lovers of lucre who applaud and uphold it. If I hail not a hope of contributing towards its downfall by exposing oou of its many frightful enormities, 1 would not wa. ste my time or thoughts by making the slightest public allusion to tlie worthy Shepherd implicated in the present case, or the gentle Wolf dogs lhat lend his fold. My only offence oppears to be to have stated a fact, not denied by the parlies themselves, for whieh the merciful and disinterested Mr. Lystcr would make the Gaol ni'- abode; in reply to which I have only to say, that, by an areumeiit of analogy, if 1 merited his award, tbey who perpetrated and still sanction the deed of which I was but the narrator, ought to be elevated to the still loftier post of gaining the platform in front of the Prison ; but, abandoned as they are, I trust they may repent before the seeds of tbeir misdeeds shall have arrived at that fatal maturity, and in thai humble and anxious hope, I remain Sir, youi obedient servant, A FRIEND TO CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY.

Sill— I beg to address you, to request you will be kind enough lo contradict, through the medium of your Journal, a stalement of rather an extraordinary nature, which I have now before me in your paper of Tuesda'v evening last the 2nd Inst. and in which name is unwarrantably used. The paragraph I refer to is under thc head '• Insolvent Court" and relates to the cxami • nation of . Mr, Richard Walsh, lately of this town. Thc passage to which I particularly allude, I copy, it runs thus—" On the 15th of April last be ( the Insolvent) had a meeting of his creditors when he agreed to give them 12s in the pound at that period a trust deed was executed by which all bis property was handed over to aMr. Lamb. the trustee, named in the deed, bur. shortly after the insolvent sold corn to Mr. Lamb to the amount of £ 197 and the name of the latter was erased from the deed, he takin"- the corn lor the debt due to him." ° This statcmentis altogether untrue. The facts oftbe case arc simply these : I am a creditor of Mr. Walsh's for over 80/ , and I attended the meeting of his creditors on the 15th of April, when the. proposal of 12 Shillings in the Pound was made. I did not at that meeting accept of any trust on Mr. Walsh's property, or sign any deed or paper to that effect, and when a composition deed was handed mo to sign, I then perceived;! was. without my consent, named as Trustee. I at once refused to sign uotil myname was erased, which was immediately done in my presence— I then signed thc document. I have never received a single barrel of corn from Mr. Walsh towards my claim and I regret to say 1 am still his creditor. ' I am, Sir, your obedient servant, ROBERT G .

HISNRY MOKROGH. - > THE CORK SOUTHERN REPORTER. REPORT UPON TIIE EXPERIMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS ON THE CROWN ESTATE AT POBBLE TA- VEEFE IN THE COUNTY OF CORK ; SubmitteJ to Her Majesty's Commissioners of Woods and Forests for the Year 1837. Ordered to be printed by the House of Commons on the 19th Dec. No. r FURTHER REPORT of RICHARD GRIFFITH, E s q u i r e , d a t e d 1 0 t h M a r c h, 1837, on the progress made in the Experimental Improvements at King William's Town, County of Cork, and on the Costs thereof, King William's Town, 10th March, 1837. M r LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, In the month of June' last I had the hononr to communicate to your Board a statement of the Progress that had been made towards ihe Completion of the new Cork and Kerry Roads, accompanied by a Report on the agricultural improvements that have been .. carried on, under my direction, at King William's Town, in the Crown lands of Pobble O'Keefe in the County of Cork. I have now to make a further Report relative to these Works. Having already in former Reports described at some length the position and nature of the district in which the roads and improvements are situate, it will he unnecessary further to dwell on that subject at present. In my last Report T mentioned that the whole of the new roads, for a length of Forty- three Miles, were completed, and open to the public, with the exception of ten miles, extending between the town of Castlelsland and the Hill of Knoeknabowl in the County of Kerry. I have now the pleasure to state that this portion of tlie read is nearly finished. It has been open to the Public for some months, but owing to the unusual • wetness of the Autumn and Winter it has been impossible to complete it in all its details, but I expect to be enabled to do so by the beginning of May next. During the Winter the traffic on the new road from King William's Town to Cork has been constant, and is rapidly increasing ; and I have no doubt that as soon as the Road to Castle Island shall have been fully completed, the agricultural traffic from Tralee to Cork will be very considerable. In respect tothe Passenger Traffic, preparations are now being made for the Establishment of Two Stage Cars from Tralee, by ICing'Williain's Town, to Cork, and thus the District between Castle Island and Cork, which previously to the commencement of the Works was nearly waste and quite inaccessible, except to persons travelling on foot, will become the scene of active agricultural improvement, and the direcMine of thoroughfare from Tralee, the Capital of the County of Kerry, to the City of Cork. I am happy to say that those parts of the Road which have been completed are in excellent order. The usual load for a single horse Cart is about Twenty Hundred Weight, and some Horses draw Twenty- two Hundred Weight; on the ordinary Country Roads Twelve Hundred Weight is considered to be a heavy load for One Horse. It should be borne in mind that the Climate of the District through which these Roads have been made is extremely moist, that the soil is of a wet clayey nature, and that the Sand- stone, which is the only material that the Country produces, is not a durable Stone for metalling a Road, being easily crushed by heavy Carriages. It is therefore pleasing to observe, owing to the great pains taken in the original formation of the roads to insure a perfect drainage and a rapid discharge for the water, that the surface has continued dry and firm during an unusually wet winter, though the traffic, particularly on the southern portion, lias been very considerable and of the most injurious kind, consisting principally of strings of loaded carriages, frequently twenty in number, drawing limestone or culm, the whole following in the same track. In respect to the expenditure on the roads, I have to observe, that— The Sum paid for Work done from the commencement np to the 31st Ilecembcr, 1836, amounts to .£ 22,616 4 5i Sum which will be required to complete the Works GOO 0 0 S U R V E Y OF THE COUNTY OF CORK. we thu A U C T I O N S . The publication of the following Co r- spondence, which have had on our table for some days, lias been delayed, by circumstance of its having been accidentally overlooked :—- Dublin Castle, Dec. 19th. 1837. SIR— In acknowledgment of your letter of tho I3th October, forwarding a Memorial from tho Rate Payers of the City and Liberties of Cork, praying that the Ordnance Survey ofthe County of theCity of Cork may be immediately commenced, for the rea - sons therein slated. I am directed to transmit to you a copy of Col. COI. BF. V'S Report on the subject. I have ihc honor to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, Samuel Lane, Esq., Cork. T. DRUMMOND. Ordinance Survey Office, Dec. 16, 1837. SLIT— I have the honor to return Mr. Lane's letter, with the Memorial of the Rate Payers ofthe City and Liberties of Cork. In reference to the ; raver of that Memorial I beg to state, lhat in whatever part of Ireland the Survey bad happened to have been commenced, it would have been requisite, to save expense in its total cost, to have carried it forward in a consecutive mass, and tbis system has heretofore been steadily pursued. Bv a reference to the records in your office, you will find that memorials for priority in the survey have already been received from various counties, and if deviations from the regular course had in every instance been acceded to, the survey would have made little progress towards completion. The survey has now reached the County of Tipperary, but the demarcation of the boundaries in that county, and in the co of Kilkenny, have r. ot yet been completed by Mr Griffiths Department, and I do not believe he has yet commenced the demarcation ofBoundaries in the county of Cork. The loss of time in his department, by detaching his boundary surveyors into the county of Cork, before they can be spared conveniently from the counties now in progress, would be very considerable ; and his Department is already barely sufficient to carry forward its work, under the advantageous circumstances of a regular system. I could not, therefore, recommend any deviation into the county of Cork at present , but I am of opinion, that no very long period will have elapsed before the county of Cork will be surveyed, if the survey is allowed to proceed witb vigor. I have the honour to ho, Sec. THOMAS COLBEY, Col. R. Engineers. T. Drummond, Esq. CITY SESSIONS COURT. An unusual circumstance occurred yesterday. When the jury were called to the Box an application was made tothe Court by Counsel to prevent the administering of an oath to a juror, a Mr. THOMAS, the jtiroi belonging to the religious denomination called " Separatists," and claiming the indulgence allowed by the 3d and 4th Wm. IV., to the conscientious scruples entertained by that class against the taking an oath under any circumstances. The claim was admitted, and the Juror was allowed to declare that he would perform his duty, & c. in place of swearing to that effect. We believe this is the first instance of the kind here.

I n consequence, I have applied to the Grand Jury of the County of Cork for a Presentment, at the nominal price of one shilling per perch, to enable me to open the road for a short distance near its termination at Mount Infant, where it passes through the estate of Mr. Cronin. I have no doubt the Grand Jury will grant the Presentment, and I shall then commence the work without delay." The estimate for the Road, which is 2M. Or. 17r, in length, amounts to 620/, 5s., including Bridges, Gullets, & c. Near the termination of this road at Mount Infant it will be desirable to make a short Branch Road into the County of Kerry, to communicate with the Limestone Quarry at Cavrindulkeen held by the Commissioners under the Earl of Kenmare. Were this effected there - would be a level and tolerably direct road from those Quarries to King William's Town, and to tha southern portion of the Estate generally. At present, the distance by the old and very hilly road from Carrindulkeen Quarry to King Williatn'S Town is CM. 4 P., while by the new one the distance would be bativM. 2r. The length of the Branch Road from Mount Infant to. its junction with the present road at Thureencahill Cross is 7r. 3r. and the estimate amounts to £ 2 7 6 . Thus the completion both of the Mount Infant and the Branch Road leading to the Limestone Quarries will amount to £ 8 9 6 ; and as the expected residue from the original fund of £ 2 4 , 0 0 0 provided for the Main Lines of road between Castlelsland and Cork and Killarney and Mallow amounts to £ 1 , 0 96 there will be ample means to effect these objects. The Report then enters in very minute details, into the return and extent of the Farming operations at King Williams Town, the produce of the Crops, & c., from which it appears, that from the commencement of the Works in the Autumn of 1836, the gross expenditure in the improvementof this property was £ 7 , 1 2 3 13s. 2d., for the following Tenures:— Buildings.. The Village of King William's Town, com- £. s. d. , prising an inn, a Stable and Storehouse, with Lofts 601' eet long, Dairy aud other Offiees, within a walled yard in the rear thereof ; a Schoolhouse; two Stories in height, and Offices; four double- storied Houses, with Cow- houses and other Offices in the rear thereof; two singlestory Cottages, with lateral Workshops and Cowhouses, Sic., in the rear ; a model Farmhouse and Office Buildings ; two Labourers' Cottages and a large Limekiln on the Crown Farm ; and three double- storied Farmhouses on new allotments in Tooreenkeagh & Carrigaunes 2,684 4 4i Plantations and Nursery Grounds .. .. .. 612 15 5 Farm Ground..

The value of the liquor is estimated at 2,0001. This seizure has created a great sensation in the trade. The largest steamer in her Majesty's navy is theGorgon, recently built, being of 1,150 tons, builders' measurement. She w ill carry 20 days'coals, 1,000 troops. 156 crew, with stores and provisions for all for six months. The engines are 320 horse power, and the vessel is so constructed that the steam machinery can scarcely be reached by shot. An occurrence of a very calamitous nature took place on hoard the Hindostan East Indiaman on her homeward voyage from Madras, from which port she sailed on the 3d Septcmberlast, On the 23d of that month, Lieut. John Jcrningham, of her Majesty's 45th regiment, was sitting on a hencoop, bordering the poop of the vessel, conversing with two other officers, when suddenly losing his balance, he fell overboard, tho sea running at the time so high, and the ship making such rapid way, that every attempt to save him proved ineffectual. Lieutenant J. Jerningham had been four years on activc serv. ee in the East, and was only 24 years of age. FLAXMAN, the celebrated sculptor, was born at York, but was brought to London when only six months old. His father, who was a moulder of figures at the time, kept a shop in New- street Coven t Garden, aud subsequently in the Strand; and it was in this humble studio that the future artist received the first impressions of taste. A natural weakness of constitution and de licaeyof health, which continued until his 10th year, gave him relish for solitary and sedentary amusements. That this was fortunate circumstance for him, to have thus carlyand constantly before his eyes objects adapted to fix his feelings, and well calcu lated to rouse his intelligence, there can be doubt I seated behind the counter with paper, pencil, or| book, he studied more desultorily] than would otherwise have been the case, yet perhaps more profitably and more diligently because less compulsorily. A GOVERNESS JUST disengaged from a highly respeotable Fa mily, wishes for a similar situation ; she instructs in English and its different branches, Writing, Arithmetic, & c., French Music, and different kinds of work ; is a Roman Catholic, but has lived with Protestant Families, with whose Religion she ne ver interferes, as may be known from some of her unexception able references.

I am not. insensible to the result of a personal contrast with either, nor do 1 undervalue the favour you have conferred upon me, ascribing it, as I do, to feelings— and to sympathies— not unconnected I trust witb personal estceem, but deriving much influence from impressions, recollections, and regards, not less honourable in you to indulge, than becoming of me to appreciate. I entreat your acceptance of my very grateful acknowledgements, and have the honorto remain, My Lords and Gentlemen, your much obliged and most obedient servant, HUGH DELACOUR. Clydaville, Jan. 5.

A CASE OF REAL DISTRESS. | OHN HEALY, a Tobacco Spinnerby Tiade, having travelled * * some hundred miles in search of work, and not succeeding, has returned to this, his native City, where he has been unemployed these Four Months, except a lew days, . is in the utmost distress, his wife having died of Cholera on Saturday night last, alter a few hours illness, leaving a family of Five Young Children, the youngest only nine months old. The small, est donation in aid of this distressed family will be thinkfully received by any of the following Gentlemen :— Very Rev. MICHAEL B. O'SHEA, Rev. Mr. DUNSCOMBE, The MAYOR, or Mr. HUGH DRISCOLL, All of whom are aware of the trulh of Ihis statement. rf' 7,123 13 2 Mr. GRIFFITHS having reported the works executed and the cost thereof, and given his opinion that the experience acquired in the progress of them has sufficiently proved the fact that the reclamation of this extensiee tract of Wild Mountain Ground could be effected at a rate of charge which will return a fair profit for the sum invested, the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, to whom the Report is addressed, set forth the same to the Lords of the Treasury and request authority * o appropriate a further sum of £ 4 , 5 0 0 to the prosecution of them; whereupon the following Treasury Letter was addressed to the Commissiouers:— Treasury Chambers. Ilth May 1837. MY LORD AND GENTLEMEN.— In c o m p l i a n c e w i t h t h e R e c o m m e n d a - tion contained in your Report of the 18th ult., I am commauded by the Lord Commissioners of His Majesty's Treasury to authorize you to appropriate a further sum of ^" 1,500 in the Prosecution of the Works proposed to be undertaken oil the Crown Estate now called King William's Town in the County of Cork. I am. my Lord and Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, Commissioners of Woods, & c. E. J . STANLEY. * The Presentment has been granted since this Report was written. The spirit of enterprise, when directed to subjects ofa public and national benefit, while it receives the reward due to meritorious exertions, will always occasion a base and servile spurious imitation of any article it may produce. We apply this observation to Rowland's Macassar Oil, aa article of universal high repute for its restorative, preservative, and beautifying effects on the Hair. Many Shopkeepers, wo regret to say, are base and dishonc « t enough to attempt to impose upon the public imitations of the above article, composed of the most, pernicious and thrashj ingredients, pretending them to be equal to Rowland's, and offer ing them at a price which would not purchase one ofits cos'lv in gradients. The principle in which Rowland's Macassar Oil, ( the Original and only Genuine,) is prepared is confined solely to tbe knowledge of A, Rowland if Son, 20 Hatton Garden, London, who are still at an immense expence in completing its preparation Any Impostor may pretend to vend an article equal to it , but the truth is, the amalgamation of this compound neutralizes all at tempts to separate its compotcnt parts, therefore any declaration of the kind only brings disgrace and contempt on such wretched pretenders.— The best means of obtaining the real article is to purchase of respectable Shopkeepers, and particularly to bear in mind tho Caution, in Rowland's Advertisement, which frequently appears in our paper.

ANDREW STREET, EDINBURGH, on FRIDAY, the 15th Day of DECEMBER, in terms of their Act of Parliament. THOMAS DUNCAN, Esq.. inthe Chair. The Annual Report of the Directors upon the Affairs and Management of the Company, submitted on the present occasion contained a most gratifying account of the increasing prosperity o f t h e Institution generally. The Directors stated That ihe Progress of the Company's business during the past year had been most satisfactory That the Funds of the Company are steadily and rapidly accumulating, while the Annual Revenue keeps pace with them. That the Investments are secured in a satisfactory and advan tageous'manner, yielding an Average Return much beyond the Assumed Rate, And, That the Mortality, during the year now concluded, among ihe Lives assured, bears a very small proportion to the Decrement exhibited in the Tables adopted by the Company as the basis of their calculation. The Directors had much pleasure in remarking that the Benefits of Ihe principles of Division adopted hy the Company inthe Allocation of Profits, appear to be generally appreciated, as evinced hy the increased amount of new Assurances opened in Ihe corresponding class during the past year. The Directors took the opportunity of mentioning to their Co- Proprietors the result of their application tothe Chancellor for an iiijunctimn to prevent an office lately established from using the name of THE STANDARD LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, which, at first starting, they assumed. The Di rectors had much satisfaction in reporting that this Company were successful in their petition to the extent that the new office was ordained in fu. ureto designate inself t h e " S T A N D A RD OF ENGLAND." An abstract of the Company's affairs, as at I5th November last, certified in terms of the Act of Parliament, and a gene, ral and comparative statement of the affairs from the commencement of the Company, was thereafter read to Ihe meeting, and • laid on the table. A Dividend of 5 per cent- upon the advanced nnd increased capital stock o f t h e Company was declared payable immediately.

A Dispatch has been received from Lieut.- General Sir John Colborne, K, C. B. Commander of the Forces in Canada, dated 3d Dec. 1837, of which the following is an extract;— " Montreal, Dec. 3, 1837. " MY L O R D . . . I have the honour to acquaint you for the information of the General Commanding in Chief, that as soon as Tcould collect a sufficient force in Montreal, after the dispersion of the rebels at St. Charles, I ordered eight companies and three field pieces to be assembled at Sorel, and to march on St. Denis. ' You will perceive from the report from ColonelGore that he entered St. Denis yesterday. " 1 have every reason to believe that the habitans. who had taken up arms on the Richelieu, had returned to their homes. Her Majesty's troops occupy, at present, St. John's, Chambly, St. Charles, St. Denis, St. Ours, and Sorel, in the neighbourhood of which places there is no appearance of disturbance. " I have, 8cc, JOHN COI. BORNE, Lieut- Gen. Major- Gen. the Right Hon. Lord Fitzroy Somerset, K. C. B., tec. & c. tec " The report from Col. Gore, which is dated from St. Denis, 2d December, states that Papineau, Wilfred Nelson, and Brown left that place the evening before for St. Hyacinthe ; that there had been no resistance to him, the habitans having deserted Nelson. Papineau was at St. Hyacinthe on the Monday before ( the 27th November.) Wilfred Nelson had several Americans with him, and told the habitans when be took leave of them that he would return with an army. The fortified house of which mention was made in Colonel Gore's report published in The Gazette last week had been burned, as well as several other houses from which the troops had been fired on. The howitzer and carriage had been recovered, and also the wounded men who were taken by the insurgents near St. Ours. Col. Gore announces his intention to proceed on the following day, the 3d Dec. to Saint Charles, with either four or five companies, but says that, from all the information he had been able to collect, he was of opinion that it was not occupied by the insurgents. It appears from Col. Gore's report, that Lieut. Weir was positively murdered in a most inhuman manner in the streets of St. Denis by Julbeal and Marchpeau, but they were in hopes of recovering his body. Col. Gore concludes his report with stating tbat it did not appear that the habitans were assembling at St. Hyacinthe, and intimating his belief that they were inclined to remain quiet. So far the official despatches. " PROVINCE OF LOWER CANADA. ' ' HIS EXCELLENCY THE KIOHT HON. ARCHIBALD EARL OP QOSFORD. " A PROCLAMATION. " GOSFORD. " His Excellency the Right Hon. Archibald Earl of Gosford, Baron Worlington of Beccles, in the county of Suffolk, Captain- General and GovernoMn- Chief in and over the Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada, Vice- Admiral of the same, and of her Majesty's Most Hon. Privy Council, & c. " Whereas, in certain counties of the district of Montreal disaffection to the Government of our Gracious Sovereign Queeu Victoria has unequivocally declared itself, and divers outrages upon the persons and properties of her Majesty's loyal subjects have been recently perpetrated therein. And whereas, prisoners arrested on charge of high treason have been rescued from the hands of justice and the troops of her Majesty in the lawful discharge of their duty, while aiding the civil authorities, have been assailed and fired upon by bands of armed peasantry. And whereas, it is notorious that the present blind and fatal excitement that district is to be attributed to the machinations of a few evilminded and designing men. who have imposed upon the credulity of an unsuspicious peasantry, and by plausible misrepresentations and wilful calumny, by practising upon their fears and inflaming their passions, by appealing to national distinctions and existing political prejudices which it has been the unabated endeavour of the British Government to extinguish have at length succeeded in implicating a part of a hitherto peaceable and loyal population in the first excesses of reckless and hopeless revolt. As the representative of our most gracious Sovereign, I now most solemnly address myself to the Inhabitants of this province, but more especially to the misguided and inconsiderate population on the river Richlieu, in the district of Montreal. I address myself to your good sense and your political experience of the bepeSts you have received, and the tranquillity you have so long enjoyed under tho British Government. You possess the religion, the language, the laws and tho institutions guaranteed to you nearly seventy years since. You know not the burthen of taxes. The expense of your military defence is defrayed by Great Britain. The prosperity Hnd happiness which have hitherto pervaded this province proclaim honourably and undeniably the political wisdom which watches over your safety, encourages your commerce, and fosters your rising industry. The spontaneous confidence of a British Parliament bestowed on you a constitution. Your representatives complained of grievances— their complaints were fully and promptly investigated. Grievances which where proved to exist were removed at once ; redress the most ample, but unavoidably gradual, was unreservedly promised ; and up to this moment that promise has been scrupulously observed. But the demands of your leaders are insatiable ; the language of reform has specially concealed the designs of revolution. I have thus tar deemed it my duty to explain the injustice and inadmissibility ofthe objects for wbich your leaders contend, and for the attainment of which they would wantonly sacrifice you and your families. The traitorous designs of those political agitators have been at length unmasked. I now, therefore, call upon those who have been thus far deluded to listen to the language of reason, sincerity and truthA Listen to the exhortations of your respectable anp trust- worthy Clergy. Listen to the representations of those worthy and loyal proprietors whose interests are identified wfth your own, and whose property in common with yours must ever be graduated and governed by the internal tranquillity of this province. Return to that allegiance to your Sovereign which you have now for the first time violated. and to that obedience to the law which you have hitherto invariably maintained. Spurn from you your insidious advisers. Reject with abhorrence tbeir self- interested and treasonable course. Leave them to the retribution which inevitably awaits them. Return to your homes and to the bosom of your families; rest assured that a powerful Se merciful government is more desirous to forget than to resent injuries, and that within that sanctuary you will experience no molestation. And, further, by and with the advice and consent of her Majesty'sExecutiveCouncil of and for the Province ofLowerCanada, I, the said Archibald, Earl of Gosford, do hereby call upon all her Majesty's loyal subjects in this province to be prepared at all times lo maintain against all aggressors the authority of our Sovereign Lady the Queen, and to countcract the rebellious designs of the disaffected in this province. The dearest rights and privileges of British subjects, their laws and institutions, have been openly and audaciously assailed. They will remember that those sentiments of loyalty and honour which were the pride of their forefathers, are tho inheritance of their children, and in defending their allcgiance to their gracious Queen, and the connection which has so long existed between this favoured colony and Great Britain, they will rush forward as one man, to prove their gratitude for the blessings they enjoy, and their unswerving determination to maintain them unimpaired.

( By his Excellcncy's command,) " E. DALY, Sec. of the Province." The Journal des Debats of Friday publishes a long article on the conduct of the Prussian government towards the Archbishop of Cologne, and condemns the opposition liberal press of Paris, for taking part with the former against the prelate, merely because he is a Catholic. The Debats says, that even supposing the archbishop to havebeen in the wrong, the measures resorted to against him were violent and arb itrary in the extreme. What were the crimes of the archbishop ? Before what judges did he appear ? On wnat day was he condemned ? What I without any previous investigation or condemnation to tear an archbishop from his palace like a common malefactor, to shut him up in a fortress and detain him there aprisoner at the king's pleasure ? Can this be called justice and moderation ? If the archbishop has been guilty of offences or crimes puuishable by laws, let him be tried, condemned, and punished. His episcopal character should not save him. But up to this moment, what has been the case ? The arcbishop is the weaker party : he is oppressed ; he resists on the ground of conscience. He may be right or wrong for ought we know— we bear no ill- will to the Prussian government; on the contrary, we have already said and we again repeat that it is a wise and moderate government, as liberal as it is possible for an absolute government to be. With all the enlightened men in Europe, we pay homage to the virtues ofthe King, and we are on that account the more astonished at the violence displayed by the Prussian government in this affair, and at the scandal wbich it has occasioned. What has the latter gained by it ? The archbishop will not yield. He now considers himself a martyr, and enjoys all the honors of persecution. The Pope has extolled his courage to the skies, and the archbishop of Paris has joined his suffrage to that ofthe Holy See. How is the Prussian government to extricate itself from this difficulty ? The Journal des Debats, in repiy to its own question, recommends, as the only possible remedy, tbe total separation of tbe temporal from the spiritual power, and cites the example of France, where marriage is a mere social contract in the eyes of the state. Once the civil act signed, the union is sealed, and the condition of the children secured ; the remainder is left to the conscience and religion of the parties. The Journal des Debats then publishes the following letter from the Rhenish provinces, which, though in many points at variance witb the above arguments, the editor has nevertheless thought proper to insert :— We have read here with as much surprise as indignation, the letter Mr. Daniel O'Connell, of radical memory, has addressed to the Morning Chronicle. The universal agitator argues at random onthe alleged persecution ofthe Archbishop of Cologne by the Prussian government, and quotes a multitude of absurdities which, he says, the Catholics have to submit to in Prussia. " The illustrious champion may rave as he pleases about the affairs of his own country, it. matters little to us ; but in taking a part in an affair in which England is nowise concerncd, and in grounding his vituperation on false and erroneous assertions, Mr. O'Connell renders a very bad service to the cause he presumes to advocate. In order, however, that foreigners should not be made the dupes of the great agitator, as respects the affairs of Prussia, we request them to consider as entirely false all that he has written about the obligation in cases of mixed marriages, under which parents are, iD this country, to bring up their children in the Pro tcstant religion. No such ordinance ever existed; but the government has thought proper not to suffer Catholic clergymen to re - quire of the parties about to contract a mixed marriage, the solemn and formal pledge of rearing their children in the Catholic faith, full liberty being left to the parents to regulate that matter themselves, and no lctjal impediment thwarting them in their resolutions. " We must here observo. that previous to the settling this point in a manner both equivalent and agreeable to the desire of the immense majority of the Catholics, we do not damn without mercy their Protestant brethren, as was the case in times gone by, when that mode of thinking and acting fomented the sanguinary religious wars which desolated Germany, the Prussian government demanded and obtained the consent of the Holy See, so that the Catholics cannot be said to be either oppressed or tyrannised. Bul those measures ofpeace and conciliation, which were in vigour long before the accession of the Archbishop of Cologne, could not but displease a party, now spread over the entire of Europe, and intriguing with extraordiuary activity, who wish not for peace, but for war, civil dissensions, religious quarrels, in order to divide ind reign and tread under foot the people and their sovereign. If tne Prussian government would not expose its subjects to those calamities... if the King, seeing a high dignitary of the church engage himself in that party, ( unconsciously, we hope) felt that he was thus compromising the safety of the state... and if, consequently, after exhausting every means of persuasion, he ordered the prelate whose disloyalty was evident to be removed from a place and province in which his presence might be a cause of agitation, who can blame the government for adopting so indispensiblea measure, the more so as, immediately after the removal of the Archbishop, it intrusted the administration of the dioccse to the metropolitan chapter, in compliance w ith canonical decrees ? This conduct clearly proves that the government did not mean to infringe the ordinances of the Catholic church. If we do not refute in like manner all the misrepresentations and ravings of the great agitator, it is because wc have sufficiently shown their want of foundation by demonstrating the complete falsehood of the principal chargc. We shall merely add, that as rcspects facts, his letter is from one end to the other full of lying assertions, and that tho Prussian Catholics are little thankful to Mr O'Cohiiell for meddling in tbis affair. Let him mind those of his own country, and cease to deal out his low and gro< s invective against the respected, just and generous Sovereign who now governs Prussia, and whom his subjects. without distinction of creed, revere as a father; for we can assure bim that his letter has excited general indignation throughout the country, lie should not speak of Prussia without knowg it. We can tell him that neither the ignorance of foreigners nor the pretensions of bigotry can succeed in shaking the loyally of the Prusssian people towards its sovereign, virtue which is now national, since it has shone bright in reverses as well as in triumphs, and will certainly never belie itself Rhenish Prussia, December, 1837."

Blue sea of the hills I in my spirit I hear Thy waters, Gennesart, chime on my ear '.' Where the Lowly and Just with the people sat down, And ttie spray on the dust of his sandal was thrown.

N EW LAW OF WILLS. MOORE AND BYRON. OPINION OF SIR WALTER SCOTT. The PORTRAIT OF PAPINEAU— Louis Joseph Papineau, who for some years past has occupied the most conspicuous position in Canadian affairs, is still in the prime of life, being about 42 years of age. He is a notary by profession, and possesses a handsome fortune, as there is no country in the world where litiga tion is so virulent and lucrative to its ministers as in Lower Canada. Mr. Papineau is well informed for a Canadian; is a fair orator, being more a declaimer than a reasoner ; passionate invective conveyed in a fluent torrent of words is his reason and his facts; and being convinced of the justice and holiness of his cause, and that Great Britain is determined to oppress its colo ny, all the energies of his mind have been devoted since 1825, to an indiscriminate and uncompromising hostility to every measure of the provincial administration. He is a man of ungovernable passions in every thing relating to politics, and holds every thing British or American in utter abhorrence. He looks upon commerce as an innovation, and its extension as corrupting the innocence and simplicity of his countrymen— agriculture is with him their natural vocation— and in the prospe? ity of merchants be sees the commencement of a system by which their lands will be wrested from theSeigneurs, and farmers by the sure and gradual progress of trade, and necessary mutation of real property. He is hostile to the diffusion of theEngish language, as he thinks its propagation is a latent& dangerous auxiliary tothedis semination of the modern principles of business ; as teaching his ignorant countrymen new wants, and a means of emancicipating themselves from the brutal tyranny of their griping feudal mas ters. He is a loud- tongued and zealous asserter of the rights of the house of assembly, and a bold and unmeasured denouncer of the government and administrators ; he bas charged Lord Dal, bousie, Lord Aylmer, and Lord Gosford with almost every po litical crime and personal corruption that public or private meli can be guilty of; but when he has assailed individuals in society in like manner, and they have called him to account and demanded satisfaction, he has invariable explained his charges, or refused the reparation required. In the late affairs at St. Char les, he removed to a place of safety when that fort was menaced by the troops ; and with all the zeal and energy of Cataline, he will never jeopardise his bodily safety like that haughty and bold spirited revolutionist— New York Star. J A M E S W A T T . . Possessing such requisites, and a splendid benefactor of his country, it is remarkable that government never conferred any honour upon Watt. Immersed in expensive wars, which deluged foreign lands with the blood of our fellowcreatures, it sought only to bestow rewards on those who were foremost in the fight. It was perhaps well.. the days of these men are past, but those of Watt will endure for ever. The visit er to the ancient relics of Westminster Abbey may have noticed many a gorgeous monument, in memory of individuals who have left no record behind tliem save these heartless stones, or a notice, perhaps, in the history of battles of tbeir having asssisted in the premature death of some friend of freedom, or unfortunate foe ; he looks long in vain for the monuments of those who have succeeded in advancing the powersof the mind, and at last espies an obscure tablet, which tells that only a mere - spot can be spared for tbe truly mighty dead. The memory of Watt was left to be established in peaceful times, when a philosopher, the hero of intellect, is valued above a hundred warriors, the heroes of the passions ; for Watt assisted " in superceding the barbarism of war.' l— Thomson's British Amwlfor 1838, . The address of the Pope to his circlave, in relation to the affair of Cologne, was communicated to all the Ambassadors and Ministers accredited in Rome with the following letter :— HIS EMINENCE THE C A R D I N . . L BEC. tEVARY OF S T A - ^ TO THE AMIlASSADOltS AND MINISTERS ACCREDITED TO THE HOLY SEE. " Quirinal ( Palace,) Dec. 10. " The expulsion of the Archbishop of Cologne from the see of that metropolis by the Prussian Government is now a fact of public notoriety. It has caused extreme surprise to His Holiness, anil nothing can equal the affliction felt by his apostolical soul on being apprised of this act. The conviction of the Holy Father that the Holy See, in its indulgent condescension, has used all the means compatible with the maxims and dogmas of the Catholic religion, not to leave the Prussian Government even a pretext to undertake anything against the principles and authority of the Catholic church and its ministers, must have increased ihe deep pain which the intelligence of the above events had caused him. In circumstances so sad and unexpected, the Holy Father, listening only to the voice of his holy ministry, convoked a secret consistory" of the sacred College, to acquaint the august assembly with the expulsion of the Archbishop of Cologne, and to protest solemnly against an act constituting an attempt against ecclesiastical authority, pontifical primacy, the laws, and the very unity of the Catholic Church. In compliance with the orders of bis Holiness, the Cardinal Secretary of State forwards to your Exccllency a copy of the pontifical address, annexed to the present letter, which you will please to communicate to your Court." Since the above was in Type, the Paris Papers of Saturday have arrived, from which we learn that the affair of the Archbishop of Cologne still occupied much attention in Germany, Italy and France. According to the Wurtzbnrg Gazette the disturbances occasioned in Munster by the removal of the Archbishop of Cologne were more serious than was at first supposed. The number of wounded in the conflict that took place is said to have amounted to 65, eight of whom received mortal wounds, and two were killed. The same journal obterves, " the King of Prussia is doing all he canto persuade the people that in adopting measures against the archbishop he meant only to punish tbe man, religion being altogether out of the question.' f As a proof of this his friends adduce that that be lately appointed Catholic chaplains to several regiments of the army, and authorised the erection of a second Catholic church in his capital." The Nouvelle Minerve, in commenting upon this affair, has the following passage, to whicn we direct the attention of our readers :— " Should the army of observation despatched by France to the Prussian frontier IV il ofits errand ill the Luxemburg affair, it may net chance to want employment in another way. The arrest of the Archbishop of Cologne has produced a ferment of agitation among the Catholic population of the banks of the Rhine. The Pope has pronounced, before the Assembly of Cardinals, a speech, in which he declared lhat the Archbishop was fully in the right; and sparks, at least, have been blown upon the firebrand of war between the Roman Pontiff and the Kinu of Prussia, whom the Catholic clergy do not hesitate to compare to Julian the Apostate, The Archbishop of Paris has not ne glccted this opportunity of displaying his religious zeal. The quarrel is assuming a very serious appearance : the King of Prussia is placcil in the alternative of cither receding or employ iDg force ; but then what are the consequences of forceemployed against, consciences excitcd at the same time by religion and patriotism ' I Under such circumstances France cannot be too much on its guard, nor the Government too prudent in its manoeuvres. The Cologne affair is far more serious importance than that of the forest of Grunenwald." Here is what he says of Moore and Byron in 1825. former visited him at Abbotsford :— Nov. 22— MOORE— I saw Moore ( for the first time, I may say) this season. We had indeed met in public 20 years ago. There is a manly frankness, with perfect ease anil good- breeding, about bim whichjis delightful. Not the least touch of the poet or the pedant. A. little— very little man. Less, I think, than Lewis, and somewhat like him in person ; God knows, not in conversation, for Matt, though a clever fellow, was a bore ofthe first description. Moreover, he looked always like a schoolboy. Now Moore bas none of this insigi'ficance. His countenance is plain, but tbe expression so very animated, especially in speaking or singing, that it is far more interesting than the finest features could have rendered it, " I was aware that Byron had often spoken, both in private society and in his Journal, of Moore and myself, in the same breath, and with the same sort of regard ; so I was curious to sec what there could bein common betwixt us, Moore having lived so much in the gay world, I in the country, and with people of business, and sometimes with politicians; Moore ascholar, I none ; he a musician and artist, I without knowledge of a note; he a democrat, I an aristocrat— with many other points of difference ; besides his being an Irishman, I a Scotchman, and both tolerably national. Yet there is a point of resemblance, and a strong one. We are both good- humoured fellows, who rather seek to enjoy what is going forward than to maintain our dignity as Lions ; and we have both seen the world too widely and too well not to contemn in our souls the imaginary consequence of literary people, who walk with their noses in the air, and remind me always of the fellow whom Johnson met in an alehouse and who called himself The great Twalmy, inventor of the. flood- gate iron for smoothening linen.' He also enjoys the Mot pour rire, and so do I, It was a pity that nothing save the total destruction of Byron's Memoirs would satisfy his executors. But there was a reason— Prcmat Nox alta. It would be a delightful addition to life, if T. M. had a cottage within two miles of one. We went to the theatre togethe r, and the house being luckily a good one, received T. M. with rapture. I could have bugged them, for it paid back the debt of the kind reception I met with in Ireland. " N O V E M B E R 23— On comparing notes with Moore, I was confirmed in one or two points wbich 1 had atways laid downip considering poor Byron. One was, that like Rotiseau, be was apt to be very suspicious, and a plain downright steadiness of manner was the true mode to maintain his good opinion. Will Rose told me that once, while sitting by Byron, he fixed inseusibly his eyes on his feet, one of which, it must be remembered, was deformed. Looking up suddenly, he saw Byron regarding him with a look of concentrated and deep displeasure, which wore off when he observed no consciousnsss or embarrassment in the countenance of Rose. Murray afterwards explained this by telling Rose that Byron was very jealous of having this personal imperfection noticed or attended to. In another point Moore confirmed my previous opinion, namely, that Byron loved mischief- making. Moore had written to him, eautioning him against the project of establishing the paper called the Liberal, in communion with men on whom he said the world had set its mark. Byron showed this to the parties. Shelly wrote a modest and rather affecting expostulation to Moore. These two peculiarists of extreme suspicion and loveof mischief are both shades of the malady which certainly tinctured some part of the character of this mighty genius ; and without some tendency towards which, genius perhaps cannot exist to great extent. The wheels of a machine, to play rapidly, mustnot fit with the utmost exactness, else the attrition diminishes the impetus. " Another of Byron's pecu'iarities was the love of mystifying which, indeed, may be referred to that of mischief. There was no knowing how much or how little to believe of his narratives. Instance :— William Bankes expostulating with hint. upon a dedication which he had written in extravagant terms of praise to Cam Hobhouse, Byron told him that Cam had bored him about this dedication till he had said, ' Well, it shall be so, provided you will write it yourself;' and affirmed that Hobhouse did write the high- coloured dedication accordingly. I mentioned this to Murray, having the report from Will Rose, to whom Bankes had mentioned it. Murray, in reply, assured me that the dedication was written by Lord Byron himself, and showed it me in his own hand. I wrote to Rose to mention the thing to Bankes, as it might bave made mischief had the story got into the circle.— Byron was disposed to think all men of imagination were addicted to mix fiction ( or poetry) in their prose. He used to say he dared believe the celebrated courtezan of Venice, about whom Rousseau makes so piquante a story, was, if one could see her, a draggle- tailed wench enough. I believe that he embellished bis own amours considerably, and that he was, in many respects, lefanfaronde vices qu'il n'avoit pas. He loved to be thought woful, mysterious, and gloomy, and sometimes hinted at strange causes. I believe the whole to have been the creation and sport of a wild and powerful fancy. In the same manner he crammed people, as it is termed, about duels and the like, which never existed, or were much exaggerated. " What I liked about Byron, besides his boundless genius, was his generosity of spirit as well as purse, and his utter contempt of all the affecttaions of literature, fromthe school- magisterial style to the lackadaisical. His example has formed a sort of upper bouse of poetry." A N T I - D E M O C R A T I C PARTY I N THE U N I T E D S T A T E S . — In the second place, we may refer to a cause wbich we look upon with deep pain, as one of the worst frv'ts of the evil principles to which allusion has already been made aboveas existing in our system— the demoralization of many of the great men of the nation. How many of these master spirits of their day, to whom their country had long been accustomed to look with general affection as her hope and pride, have we not seen seduced from the path of their early promise by the intrigues of party and the allurements of ambition, in the pursuit of that too dazzling prize, and too corrupting both in the prospectand the possession— the Presidential office 1 To how many a one could we point, within the history of the last quarter of a century, to whom we might well apply Milton's famous description of Lucifer, the Son of the Morning — He above the rest, In shape and gesture proudly eminent, Stood like a tower ; his form had not vet lost All her original brightness, nor appeared Less than archangel ruined, and the excess Of glory obsured ; as when the sun new risen Looks through the horizontal misty air, Shorn of his beams, or from behind the moon, In dim eelipse, disastrous twilight shod On half the nations, and with fear of change Perplexes monarchs. Darkened so, yet slione Above them all the archangel ; but his face Deep scars of thunder had entrench'd, and care Sat on his faded chcek, but under brows Of dauntless courage and considerate pride, Waiting revenge, & c. The influence of such men, especially on the minds of the young, commanding by their intellectual power, misleading by their eloquence, and fascinating by the natural sympathy which attaches itself to greatness still proud in its " fallen estate,' produces certainly a powerful effect in our parly contests. We might also refer to the fact, that the anti- democratic cause possesses at least two- thirds of tbe press of the country, and that portion of it which is best supported by talent and the resources of capital, under the commercial patronage of our cities, To the strong influence that cities.. where wealth accumulates, where luxury gradually unfolds its corrupting tendencies, where aristocratic habits and social classifications form and strengthen themselves, where the congregation of men stimulates and exaggerates all ideas — to the influence that cities exert upon the country, no inconsiderable effect is to be ascribed. From the influence of the mercantile classes, too, ( extensively democratic), on the men of the professions, especially that of the law, creating an insensible bias, from the dependance of the latter mainly on the patronage of the former, these young men becoming again each the centre of a small sphere of' social influence; from that of the religious ministry, silently and insensibly exerted, from the false prejudice slightly touched upon above; from these and some other minor influences, on which we cannot here pause, a vast and active power on public opinion is perpetually in operation. And it is only astonishing that the democratic power shoe'd be able to bear up against a' 1 so successfully as we in fact witness. This is to be ascribed ( under that Providence whose unseen hand we recognise in atl human affairs) only to the sterling honesty and good sense of the great industrious mass of our people, its instinctive perception of, and yearning after, the democratic truth, and the unwavering generosity of its support of i those public servants whom it has onceacknowledged the genuine sympathyof common sentiments and a common cause. The de- I mocratic principle can do little more than hold its own. The moral energies of the national mind are, to a great extent, paralyzed by division ; and instead of bearing forward the ark of democratic truth, intrusted to us as a chosen people, towards the glorious destiny of its future, we must fain be content, if we can but stem with it the perpetual tide of attack which would | bear it backward towards the ideas and habits of past dark ages — American Democratic Review. I J O H N Q U I N C Y ADAMS— Our attention is now attracted to a ray of light that glitters on the apex of a bald and noble head, " located" on the left of the house, in the neighbourhood of the Speaker's chair. It proceeds from that wonderful man, who in his person combines the agitator, poet, philosopher, statesman, critic, and orator— John Quincy Adams. Who that has seen bim sitting beneath the cupola of the hall, with the rays of light gathering and glancing about his singularly polished head, but has likened him to one of the luminaries of the age, shining and glittering in the political firmament of the Union. There he sits hour after hour, and day after day, with untiring patience, never absent from his seat, never voting for an adjournment, vigilant as the most jealous member of the house, his ear ever on the alert, himself always prepared to go into the profoundest questions of state, or tbe minutest points of order . What must be his thoughts as he ponders upon the past, in which he has played a part so conspicuous ? We look at him and mark his cold and tearful eye, his stern and abstracted gaze, and conjure up phantoms of other scenes. We see him amid his festive and splendid halls ten years back, standing stiff and awkward, and shaking a ta't military- looking man by the hand, in whose honour the gala was given, to commemorate the most splendid of American victories. We see him again, years afterwards, the bitter foe of the same ' military chieftain,' and the competitor with him for the highest gift of a free people. We look upon a more than king, who has filled every department af honour in his native land, still at his post; he who was the President of millions, now the representative of forty odd thousand, quarrelling about trifles or advocating high principles. To- day growling and sneering at the House with an abortion petition in his trembling band, and anon lording it over the passions, and lashing the members ir.' ia the very wildest state of enthusiasm by his indignant z o n a TJ The follow ' ig directions wr 1 be found useful as to making w! , l s by persons who may not be able to avail themselves of professional assistance. The new law came into operation in England, Wales and Ireland on Monday last:— No will made by any person under the age of 21 years shall bevalid. The new statute must not alter the law as to the will of married women. The regulations to be observed in making a will or codicil areas follow :... Tho will or codicil must be signed at the foot or end thereof by the testator. If he does not sign, it must be signed by some other person, in his presence, or by his direction. The signature must be made and acknowledged by the testator, in the presence of two or more witnesses, present at the same time: The witnesses must attest and subscribe the will or codicil, in. the presence of the testator. Appointments by will under a power, arc made subject to tNes above- mentione. 1 regulations, The testator's marriage is a revocation of his will, except in c e r - tain cases of exercise of powers. The revocation of a will or codicil may be by any of the following means : — By a will or codicil executed in the manner above- mentioned. By a writing, declaring the intent to revoke, and executed as *- will. By burning, tearing, or destroying ot tho will by the testator, with intent to revoke, or by some person rn his presence, and by his direction, Alterations made in wilh must be executed tn tike manner as wills. The signature of the testator and subscription of witnesses may be made in the margin, or near to, the alteration, or at the end of a memorandum on the will, referring 10 the aftertirion. Residuary devises in wills will include ( unless a contrary intention appear in the will) estates comprised in lapsed or void devises. Icannot b e too much impressed upon the p u t f i r at Itergff that their existing powers of disposing of their property b y will are altered by this act of parliament; and that consequently ihi the execution of their wills they must perform the cerem6nic. r irerquired by the act, and not those contained in their own dkalh and settlements. And the new law applies as well to powsw given to married women as to single persons, and restrains rill persons from making a will of any property who have not a&- tained the age of twenty- one. No form of attestation is required by this act, but there must be two witnesses to every will, and the testator must either sign or acknowledge his signature to them, they being present at the same time, and they should attest the will before they and the testator separate from each other. And as these cei » - moniea ought to be performed, it will be prudent to state thsnt in the attestation of the witnesses. No person to whom, or to whose husband or wife, any legacy or gift is made by the will, should be a witness to i t ; for iift ai legatee, or his or her husband or wife is made a witness, tSiff l e - gacy is lost. Witnesses who cannot write may sign by tjfteiir marks, and so may the testator himself if he labour umlfeir ai like disability. A will wilt pass a man's freehold, copyhold', ami: leasehold estates, although he do not mention the nature of the: tenure, but devise his estates generally— but it will We advisable to describe them, if he have estates of various tenures. A general gift will also pais any sucb estates over which hehas a general power to appoint by wiil— and yet if a man kaye: sucb a power, it is advisable to refer to it. If he have a speeiaP power of appointing, for example, to appoint to any of hitchildren, which he means to exercise, he ought to refer to i t as, thus—' In exercise of the power given to me by my marriage: settlement, I devise all the estates therein comprised unto my son John, and his heirs and assigns.' Where it is intended to give the estate out and out, or what , lawyars call the fee, it is not now necessary, although still advisable, to add the words ' his heirs and assigns,' beeause the act supplies them in the will, unless a contrary intention appears— but if it is Intended to give only a limited interest, as f or life, that should be carefully stated. If a man make a gift to his child or other issue, the gift wi" remain in operation although the child die inthe testator's lifetime, provided that, at his death, he leaves issue who live tosurvive the testator. A mail should guard against this inconvenient rule, where he does not intend it should operate by a. gift in this form—'' I give to my son John, if he survives me, the sum of .£ 500." A man should now be careful in giving estates by a general description, for example—" All my estates in the garish of Sfc, Andrew's," unless he intends whatever estates he may i r f f e r - wards purchase to pass under that gift ; for all his after- purchased estates, as far as the description in the will comprises them, will pass by the will without any republication of it. Where a man has made a gift of the residue of his estates, after giving particular estates to other individuals, he should bear in mind that if any person to whom he has given an estate, die in his lifetime, the estate given to him will fall into the residue. Where a man means to revoke his will or codicil, or indeed any pro\ Ision in either, he can only do so by another trill or codicil executed just lite an original will. He may, by a writing so executed, simply declare his intention to revoke his will without making any new disposition of his property. He may likewise revoke his will by burning, tearing, or otherwise destroying it, or by directing and causing som e other person to destroy it in his presence— but the act mnst. be done with the intention of revoking. Therefore, if by mistake, ink should: be thrown all over the will instead of sand, the will would be good if it could be deciphered. If a man choose to revoke his.

One hundred and fifty yards of the Kilsby tunnel were completed, last mouth, and 174, the month preceding, leaving on the 5th instant, only 756 yards to accomplish. Tbere is every reason to anticipate, that the whole line will be open for traffic, by the l s t of next October.. Railway Times. R A I L R O A D S IN PRUSSIA.— The King of Prussia, in his permission to construct railroads in that country, stipulates that government shall at any time be at liberty to take possession of the whole concern, paying a compensation to the existing shareholders ; and farther, that at the conclusion of ninety years the railroads shall become unconditionally the property ot the state. O L D LETTERS.— For a moment I meditated on the MELANCHOLY which attaches itself to OLD LETTERS ; they live, and speak of the living, with all the freshness and vivacity of feeling which existed at the instant tliey were penned ; when, alas ! those to whom they may so vividly refer are, perhaps, numbered with the dead. I repeat it, old letters are the most painful in the world ; for they conceal in a moment all the settled calm, all the subdued recollections with which time may have invested the past ; they make the dead alive again ; we feel their presence, aad shudder.— M R S , B R A Y . ed, never consulting with others, he is apart, wrapped in his reveries ; and with his finger resting on bis nose, he permits his mind to move like a gigantic pendulum, stirring up the hours of the past, and disturbing those of the hidden future ; or probably he is writing— his almost perpetual employment— but what ? who can guess ? Perhaps some poetry in a young girl's album 1 He looks enfeebled, but yet he is never tired ; worn out, but ever ready for combat : melancholy, but let a witty thing fall from any member, and that old man's face is wreathed in smiles ; he appears passive, but woe to the unfortunate member that hazzards an arrow at him ; the eagle is not swifter in his flight than Mr. Adam's ; with his agitated finger quivering sarcastic gesticulation, he seizes upon his foe, and amid the amusement of the House, rarely fails to take a signal vengeance. His stores of special knowledge on every subject, graduallygarnered up through the course of his extraordinary life in the well- arranged storehouse of a memory which is said to have never yet permitted a single fact to escape it, give him a great advantage over allcomers in encounters of this kind. He is a wonderful, eccentric genius. He belongs to no party, nor does any party belong to him. He is of too cold a nature to belong to a party leader. He is original.. of very peculiar ideas, and perfectly fearless and independent in expressing and maintaining them. He is remarkable for his affability to young persons ; and, surrounded by them at his own table, he can be as hilarious and happy as the gayest of them. For one service, at least, his country owes him a debt of gratitude. I refer to the fine illustration which he afforded of the true character of our institutions, when he passed from the presidential palace to his present post on the floor of the House of Representatives. Though the position which he has there made his own may not be that which his friends might wish to see him occupy in that body, yet in every point of view the example was a fine one. His manner of speaking is peculiar ; he rises abruptly, his face reddens, and, in a moment throwing himself into the attitude of a veteran gladiator, he prepares for the. attack ; then he becomes full of gesticulation, his body sways to and fro.. self- command seems lost.. his head bends forward in his earnestness till it sometimes almost nearly touches the desk ; his voice frequently breaks, but he pursues his subject through all its bearings ; nothing daunts him — the House may ring with the cries of order.. order 1 unmoved.. contemptuous, he stands amid the tempests, and, like an oak that knows its gnarled and knotted strength, stretches his arm forth and defies the blast.— American Democratic Review. THE SABBATH. . The keeping of one day in the seven holy, as a relaxation and refreshment, as well as of the public worship, is of admirable service to a state, considered merely as a civil institution. It humanises by the help of society and conversation, the manners ofthe lower classes, . which would otherwise degenerate into a sordid ferocity, and savage selfishness of spirit, . it enables the industrious workman to pursue his occupation, in the ensuing week, with health and cheerfulness ; it imprints on the minds of ihe people that sense of their duty to GOD, so necessary to make them good christians— but yet which would be defaced by an unremitting continuance of labour, without any stated time for calling them to the worship of their Maker.. BLACKSTONE. S W E E T E N I N G THE SOIL.— One of the great natural agents fur sweetening the soil, by removing the rejections of plants, is water, which, in loose porous soil, carries them down into the subsoil, beyond the reach of the roots, and, in stiff, retentive soil, may be employed to float them away, by flowing slowly over the surface, as is practiced with so much effect irrigating grass lands— rendering them of the richest green, as is finely exemplified in Switzerland and the Black Forest, as well as in some parts of this country. Now, plants, in pots, by being regularly watered, as they must be, and by the water flowing freely through, as it ought to do, have their rejections daily washed away, almost as soon as these are thrown into the soil, and much rr. ore effectually also, than can ever be done in the open ground. It will follow useful inference from this view, that the evils well known to result from setting potted plants in saucers or feeders, to supply them with water Irom beneath, do not arise altogether from the supply of water, being thus rendered too copious, but from the excreinentious rejections, instead of being washed away, as in ordinary watering, without saucers or feeders being rclained in the water and again forced into the compost in the pot.. FLOWER G A R D E N . A man and woman of poor appearance, were taken up last week by the Sovereign of New Ross, on account of their being possessed of property that, in all likelihood, was sacrilegiously obtained from some Catholic Chapels Tho woman had offered the fragments of a silver Chalice for sale, and the man h al a surplice on his person, while a bundle containing vestments and altar cloths were found at th? ir lodgings,, Waterford Mirror< celling the will is not enough.. he should destroy the instrument itself, and had better have a witness or two present at the act of destruction. But the alteration will be valid if the testator merely, signs his name, and the witnesses subscribe theirs in the margin, or on some other part of the will, oppositb or near to such alteration ; or a memorandum referring to such alteration may be written at the and, or any other part of the will ; and the name of the testator, and also tbe names of the witnesses subscribed at the foot, or end of, or opposite to such memorandum. In whatever mode the alteration is signed. it must be: borne in mind that the will must be really signed by the testator, or his signature acknowledged in the presence of both the witnesses present at the same time, and that they must subscribe their names in his presence ; and in no case of an original will or a paper revoking a will, or of an alteration in the will ought the witnesses to leave the room in which the testator signs before they themselves, in his presence, subscribe also. But although a will be not revoked by the party, yet if he marry after his will, the law instantly revokes it for him ; so that now, in many instances, the first anxiety of a bridegroom must be to prepare a new will. In many cases tor tetearmple, the marriage of a widower haviny children, the: neglect might be fatal to his family. It will not be umcemmon to find a man's marriage settlement and his will in preparation at the same time, although the execution of a will the moment after the marriage ceremony may throw a damp over i t. But so the legislature has willed it, and the law applies to a woman as well as to a man. It is not uncommon for a man to make his own will at intervals. If a man will act so unadvisedly, he should sign his name where he leaves off, declaring that he means what precedes to stand for bis will; and he must procure the subscription ot two witnesses, just as if the whole will were finished ; and ho must repeat bis ceremony after every addition, otherwise all tho dispositions not so sanctioned will be void- LAWS OP COURSING, 1. hare. A brace of greyhounds only to be slipped after the - ( T h e slipper should be about a horse's length in advance of the beater, and when a hare is started he should quicken his pace, that the dogs may both take sight, and pull in the slips before he looses them : it is necessary that good law should be given, as it materially assists the umpires in case of a weak hare.) 2. If a second hare be started during the course, and the dogs divide, the course to be given to the dog that follows the slipped hare. 3. If tbere be only one turn and a k i l in the course, the dog that gives the turn shall win, if it be a fair start. 4. If tbere be no turn or kill in the course, the dog that gets first to the covert shall win. For Cup or SweepBtakes. 5. If there be many turns in a course, a go- by shall be equal to two turns of the hare, The lead up to the hare from slips, and the first turn, shall be equal to two after turns of the hares.— Two wrenches of the hare, provided the dog makes them following, without losing the lead, shall be equal to one turn. The turn when tbe hare is leading to the covert shall be considered, more than the turn when she is rrming from the covert, provided the number of turns be equal. If a dog fa" s in the course when he be leading, he shall be allowed a turn more than he gives. 6. If one dog follows the hare home, and the other stands still when the hare is in view, the course shall be given to the dog that runs home, though he had not the advantage in running. If both dogs stand still in a course, it shall be adjudged to the dog that runs longest after the hare. 7. If both dogs be unsighted, owing to the hare running through a bunch of bushes, furze, or plants.' on, so as to impeds the course, the course shajl be deemed to end there. 8. If the owner of either dog, or his servant, ride over the dog of his opponent in the course, he shall lose the course. i). If a third dog gets loose, and joins in the course, the course shall stand good, and be decided ; and the owner of the third dog shall be fined, according to the rules of the Club. 10. The umpires shall give their judgment promptly, before they converse with others in the field. If they be divided In opinion, they should lide apart from the rest of the company until they have consulted a third person, who shall be chosen in all courses for Cup and Sweepstakes. 11. If the dogs be slipped at a hare, and they are unsighted, and before they are taken up another hare start, so that the dogs are fairly laid in, it shall be deemed a course as though tha dogs went from slips.
