Ue sense of the importance of ^nder a h r° consc'enh&, could enter the °rrowed qualification. The fol- lowing are the words I, A. li., do swear, that I truly and bonajide have such an estate, in law or equity, to and for my use and benefit, of or in lands, tenements, or hereditaments, (over and above what will satisfy and clear all incumbrances that may affect the same) of the annual value of six hundred pounds, above reprizes, as doth qua- lify me to be elected and returned to serve as a member for the county of according to the tenor and trite meaning of the Act of Parliament in that behalf; and that my said lands, tenements, and hereditaments are lying, or being within the parish, township or precinct of or in the several parishes, townships, or precincts of in the county of -I or in the several counties of One of the most common methods of evading this Oath is for a friend of the candidate to grant a rent charge upon his estate, freehold or copy- hold, to the value required by the Act, and to be indemnified by the grantee by a bond or note of hand for the amount of one year's rent charge, care being taken that such rent charge shall not be claimed beyond one year, against which there is the set-off of the bond. Not a farthing on either side is given or taken, or expected to be given or taken not a shilling of rent is ever re- ceived, and yetthero can be found gentlemen with consciences so elastic, as to swear that they have, BONA FIDE, an estate to and for their own use and benefit, according to the tenor and true meaning of the Jlti of Parliament. We know nothing-—we care nothing about a lawyer's construction of a borrowed qiialificatioii-" Can I take this Oath?" is the question propounded to a lawyer: his answer is—Yes! Ask a man of honor—a man of morals—a gentleioan.—or rather, ask a Chris- tian, and his answer would unquestionably be- No I am not causist enough to determine whether an indictmentfor perjury would lie; hut I am sure that you are guilty of a falsehood, to which you .have solemnly called GOD to witness the truth." Such is the light in which it appears to our unsophisticated notions of Christian morals, and if we have taken an erroneous view of the Oath, we shall be glad to be set right-

On Tuesday evening, Sir Robert Peel an- nounced his intended course of proceeding with respect to the Irish Church Bill. We cannot do better than borrow the language of the JVIoming Post, which fully explains the views of the Right Honourable Baronet, and the motives by which he is influenced. Ministers have so artfully blended the good and the evil-the robbery and the relief-that nothing but the course proposed to be adopted by Sir Robert Peel, can meet the difficulty. Our readers will find in our report of the Parliamen- tary proceedings of last night a statement by Sir Robert Peel 01 the course which it is his intention to pursue in reference to the Irish Tithe Bill- A more judicious-line of conduct in our view of the case, it would be impossible to adopt. Sir Robert Peel, on this, as on every other occasion, will give effect to all of good that is to be found in the measures of his opponents, and select for opposition that part only which is obnoxious in the principle upon which it pro- ceeds, and ruinous in the consequence# which it would draw down. But to pursue this course in reference to the measures proposed by the present Government is a task of no small difficulty. In the composition of their measures there is so much of evil woven up with so little of good—so many schemes for effecting party purposes under the guise of legislating for the general beiiefit-so many clap-traps to catch ephemeral popu- larity, with so few provisions to ensure permanent advantage, that a statesman who attempts to adopt any portion of the enactments proposed by such Ministers as the present undertakes a labour of ipcredible mag- nitude in the task of selection. If Sir Robert Peel were to follow the most simple course, and the one easiest to himself, he would, under other circumstances, originate a measure, and propose it for the adoption of Parliament, and give an unqualified opposition to that at present before the House. But then comes the question what arethe wretched °f Ireland to do in the meanwhile, ifanother session pass over, nothing having been accomplished to extricate them from their present miserable position? This consideration it is we have no doubt, and this alone, which prevents Sir Robert Peel adopting the line we have pointed out; and in allowing this consideration to have weight on the present occasion we believe the right bon. baronet to exercise a sound discretion. "The course which Sir Robert Peel means to pur- sue is to move, on the question of the Speaker's leaving the Chair, an instruction to the" Committee to divide the Bill, and to separate that part which {joes to the appropriation of ecclesiastical property toother than ecclesiastical purposes frfsrn that which goes to relieve the sufferiog Qlergy of Ireland. By this course those Members of the House of Commons who might be led to vote for the present measure, as one which, at all eveuts, will extricate the Clergy from their present horrible position, will be relieved from the necessity of sanctioning a robbery of the Church, in order to prevent the starvation of its Ministers a dilemma in which we believe many honorable and conscientious men were induced to prefer the former alternative from seeing no other choice left to them by the Government. "The other points to which the Right Hon. Baronet will confine his opposition, are clearly stated in his speech. The great battle, upon the result of which the fate of the Irish Church depends, will probably take place on Friday, the 17th, or on Monday, the 21st inst. It is the bounden duty of every Conservative and Christian Member of the House of Commons to be iu his place on that day.

The Investigation into the conduct of the Mili- tary at Wolverhampton has terminated in a man- ner as offensive to the Radicals as satisfactory to the lovers of order. All the vapouring of Mr Oaf, and the generous sympathy of the Chronicle, Globe, and Spectator, for a peaceable and unoffend- ing populace shot and Sabred by a savage and ruthless soldiery, have not succeeded in suppres- sing the truth. Lord John Russell in a few words of manly candour, announced to the House that the conduct of the soldiers at Wolverhampton was marked by a most commendable forbearance and a most correct judgment, and that they performed a painful and difficult duty in a manner so as to obtain the result of preventing the peace of the town from being disturbed, and of preserving property and life. The Spectator is quite indig- nant, and reads his Lordship a lecture on the folly of such gratuitous liberality-what is the man's heart made of? We wish the Conservatives would take as much pains to avail themselves of the good common sense of the English people, as the Radicals do to appeal to their had passions we should then see more of what, after all, is the staple commodity of a country, on the righ^aide. The worst enemy to the bodies and souls ofnten is the Radical Press.

Letters and papers froiji Lisbon, of the 25th ult. have been received. The Portuguese corps on the Spanish frontiers remained in their former position f but it was supposed they would soon receive orders to advance into Spain. The Queen's marriage with the Duke of Nemours con- tinued to be spoken of; in that matter, however, it seems that she is determined to have a will of her own. The last accounts from Sydney inform us that an exploring expedition under the Surveyor- General was nearly complete. A vessel would proceed with the party to Gulf St. Vincent, where they would commence tracing the river with boats, the vessel remaining at the mouth of the river, as a depot. Accounts have been received from Bombay to the 18th of March. The crops to the northward had sustained very great injury from the frost: it is said,indeed,that whole fields had been destroyed in one night; and an advance of several rupees from the highest prices previously demanded had been made. The previous accounts from the Dhollera, Cutch, and Mangrole districts had led to an expectation of an excellent crop from those quarters. The New York Courier announces the arrival of the Brig Elm from the port of Guayama. The Captain, Doyle, states that when he was on the point of sailing, information bad reached there that the Negroes on the Island of Santa Cruz had risen and destroyed fourteen plantations by fire.

GLAMORGANSHIRE -1 GLAMORGANSHIRE SUMMER ASSIZES. The following is a summary of the calendar, con- taining the names of six prisoners only, to be tried before Mr Justice Patteson, at the approaching assizes, viz.:— Henry Berry, 28, labourer, charged with stealing one ram and one lamb, the property of Anthony Mathew, at Canton. Owen Rees, alius Henry Hunt, 20, shoemaker, charged with committing a felony upon the premises of-Williarn Jones, in the parish of Eglwvsilan, and also with present- ing and snapping a loaded pistol at the said William Jones and at David Rosser. Margaret Lewis, 18, and Jane Thomas, alias Ann Da- vies, 18, singlewomen, charged with stealing wearing ap- parel, the property of Patrick Duggan, of Cardiff. J,}}¡n Slocombe, 38, labourer, charged by the coroner's warrant, with feloniously killing and slaying Alexander Thomas, at Swansea. Mary William-, 26, singlewoman, charged with the mur- der of her female bastard child, by cutting off the head and severing the body of the said bastard child with some sharp instrument. OPENING OF THE NEW EPISCOPAL CHAPEL, AT BRIDGEND. This took place on Sunday last, and we can very safely assert that an event more gratifying to tho in- habitants of the town of Bridgend, never took place. The Chapel which is large and commodious, and built in a style of great simplicity and beauty, was completely filled by a most respectable congregation among whom were Mr and MrsFranklen, of Clement- stone House Mrs Markham, of Nash; Mrs Powell, of Cowbridge Mrs Jenner, of Glangarw Miss NichoU, ofDimlands; Mr and Mrs Smith, of Naw House; Mrs Black well; and Mrs. Helmes. Previously to the com- mencement of the service the Bishop's Licence for its celebration in the Chapel, was read by the Rev. Mr Harding, the Rector. The service was then perform- ed in a most solemn and impressive manner, by the highly respected and venerable Mr Haucorne. Vicar of Newcastle (now the oldest Clergyman in the Diocese); assisted by the Rev. Dr. Llewellin, Principal of St. David's College, Lampeter, and the Rev. Mr Helmes. The Rev. Mr Harding then delivered a most appro- priate discourse from the 28th chap. of Genesis, verse 16, "Surely the Lord is in this place," in which the Reverend Gentleman, in his own peculiarly eloquent and masterly manner, and with expressions of the most perfect charity towards Christians using: other forms of worship insisted on the superior beauty and excellency of the Liturgy aud forms of worship used by the Church. The Chapel, which we believe, cost somewhere about jElJOO, has been erected by volun- tary subscriptions, aided by a grant from the Society for the building and enlarging of Churches. Among the most liberal of the contributors, were the Rev. Mr Harding, the late Mrs Djvies, of Tregroes, W. Truman, Esq. Bryuteg,and (as might have been expect. ed) the Bishop of the Diocese, and Sir John Nicholl. A considerable portion of the expense was collected in the town, and the subscription list affords a proof that amongst the inhabitants, though very many are Dissenters, there exists a very strong feeling of affectionate attachment, not only to their benevolent Pastor, but likewise to the Church of which he is so distinguished an ornament. COWBRIDGE, July 2.—The Dean and Chapter of Gloucester have presented the Rev. Thomas Edmondes (eldest son of the Major) to the Vicarage of Llanblethian with Cowbridge. The only draw- back to the general satisfaction which this appoint- ment has given to the inhabitants of Cowbridge and its vicinity is the loss of their very popular and much beloved curate, the Rev. Owen Jenkins, B.D. Fellow of Jesus College, Oxford, who will carry with him the best wishes of his former parishioners.— [We only received our Cowbridge correspondent's letter on Friday evening, when our paper was in the press.] FATAL ACCIDENT.—A melancholy accident hap- pened on Saturday last, at the colliery of Messrs Rees, at Brynkethin. A large body of coal, forming the roof of a level, fell in and buried Robert Rees, one of the firm, and the son of another of the parlners., Tlie utmost exertions were immediately used by a large body of workmen to get at the bodies, but they were unable to remove the coal for some hours. Mr Robert Rees was found quite dead, but the nephew was not,, very materially injured. An inquest was held on Monday, before L. Reece, Esq. and a verdict of Acci- dental Death returned. On Thursday evening, about 7 o'clock, as a boy, about 12 years old, named Thomas Williams, was at work in a level belonging to the Plymouth Works, a large stone fell upon him and instantly killed him. The fathor of the unhappy sufferer, who was named Rees Williams, was killed at Dowlais Works, about four years ago, in precisely the same manner. Yesterday morning, as the Abergavenny Mail was leaving Merthyr, a child, about 2 years old, the son of a miner, of Penydarran, rau underneath the wheels, and had its thigh dreadfully fractured, besides being otherwise injured. We understand there is no blame attributable to the coachman. MERTHYR POLICE. JULY 7. Before J. B. Bruce, and W. Thomas, Esquires. This was one of the days appointed for transferring licenses, and the following transfers were made. Rising Sun, from Thomas Williams, to Richard Jones; Three Salmons, from George Thomas, to Owen Bowen White Horse, from Richard Jones, to Mary Jones; Harp, (Caedraw) from Richard Edwards, tb Robert Thomas Bute Arms Dowlais, from Owen Bowen, to Henry Thomas. Henry Foley was brought up, charged by John Fortune, with feloniously entering a store-room, and stealing various knives and other articles. It ap- peared in evidence that the accused had been entrusted with articles. of the same description to sell for the prosecutor, and though they were found in his box, they might probably have been placed there without any felonious intention. The magistrates remanded the case for further examination. ° William Hopkins, smith, was charged with picking the pockets of David Gibbon, while drunk and asleep in the Butchers' Arms. The prisoner had been seen taking the money out of the Prosecutor's pocket, and when detected, concealing a part of it in his mouth; but it appeared that the prosecutor himself had ac- knowledged to two witnesses that he had done so be. fore on divers occasions, and had returned him the money when he was sober. The magistrates being doubtful of the felonious intention, discharged the complaint. The same man (William Hopkins) was then fined Od. and costs for cutting wood, the property of Messrs Hill. The magistrates informed him that if the wit- ness had not mercifully proved the wood to be under the value of one shilling, he would not have been pro- ceeded against under the Petty Trespass Act, but under the severer Act of the 7th and 8th Geo. 4. The constables said they had a warrant against the same man from the overseers of Llanwonno, for leav- ing his wife and family chargeable to that parish. JobOverton and David Griffiths were fined 5s. each and costs, for an assault upon Richard Morris, on the night of the last Wain Fair. In this case the magis- trates severely reprobated the custom, lately prevail- ing, of men in liquor, waiting on the road sides to waylay and fight with those with whom they had previously quarrelled, and said, that they would punish all persons proved to have so done with the utmost severity of the law. William Samuel was fined 2s. 6d. and costs, for assaulting Mary Ward in Heol-cerrig. Thomas Wroughton was fined the colits for an assault upon Thomas Leyshon. William Williams, filler, Dowlais, was fined 5s. (to the sick fund) for a misdemeanour in his work viz.—negligently weighing a wrong charge for the furnace. Benjamin Thomas, labourer, was ordered to work a month's notice with his employer Thomas Davies, master of a mine-patch at Dowlais. Edward Davies was ordered to pay 13s., forse- cretly temoying his goods from the premises of George Powuey, with intent to defraud the said George Powney of his rent. July 10-S-m-el Packman an old customer, was I fined the costs for an assault upon Martha Edwards. Edward Edwards was fined 2s. 2d. for a trespass committed by his son on the premises of Sarah Jones. David Abraham, Parrot Beer House, Rees Davies, Forge Hammer. Watkin Williams, Heath Cock, and John Morgan, Half .Moon, were each fined 40s. for keeping their houses open at illegal hours. Henry Foley was admitted to bail, to answer to a charge of John Fortune, for-a robbery committed on his premises.

MONMOUTHSHIRE. ♦ MONMOUTH BOROUGH SESSIONS. MONDAY, JULY 6.—Before O. G. Thomas, Esq. Mayor, Wtu. Shayle, Esq. Bailiff, and T. A. Williams, Esq. Deputy Town Clerk. Willi,, In Smith v. Elizabeth Grundy.-Tiiis was an indictment for an assault upon the prosecutor, by the female defendant, a heroine of the Kymiu. It was stated in evidence that, on the 1st of April, Smith was going with a cart of manure along a narrow lane to a piece of ground rented of the Duke of Beaufort, which road is also the approach to defendant's cottage, both situated on the Kymin, and there meeting with a heap of stones, purposely put in his way, he pro- ceeded to break them with a hammer, when Mrs Grundy rushed furiously at him, inflicted sundry wounds and scars upon his face, and laid him hors de combat in the ditch. Mrs Grundy was convicted of the offence, and sentenced to enter into recognizances to keep the peace for six calendar months. There wasanother indictment preferred against Mrs Grundy, for an assault, on the same day and arising out of the same circumstance, upon Thomas Hewlett. Sub- mitting to a verdict of guilty upon this, she was ordered to find sureties for her good behaviour for six calendar months from and after the expiratiou of the recognizances in the first case. James Phillips, on the prosecution of Richard Williams.— The prisoner,Phillip*,whoisonly 13years of age, aud an incorrigible aud hardened little fellow^ had, it appealed, been, for about two years, appren- ticed to the prosecutor, a tailor, in Monmoulh, from whose service he had ran away several times, and for that offence been twice imprisoned. He was now placed at the bar, charged with stealing, on the 13th day of May last, in the borough of Monmouth, from his master one Russia-duck smock-frock, one pair of cot-det-oy trowsers, one yellow plush waistcoat, one pâit, of worsted stockings, one pair of cotton braces, and one black wrapper cloth. The young culprit boldly pleaded -1 not guilty but it was proved the boy had confessed, that a man of the name of Rees Duffield, a notoriously bad character, who has been an inmate of several gaols, and with wham he had on a former imprisonment, become acquainted in Monmouth gaol, had persuaded him to steal the clothe*, aud had promised to take him to some friend of his at Longtowu. It was proved that the boy did subsequently leave his master and was taken back by that'arch-contriving villian, Duffield; a short time after which, the youthful adept in wickedness rose early one morning, stole the articles with which the indictment charged him, hid them at the far end of the cellar, and removed the fastening of the outer trap door, so that he might, at a convenient time, fetch the bundle away. About four o'clock in the morning of the 13th of May the prisoner Phillips entered the cellar from the street, and carried off the things before enumerated. Being met with by an inha- bitant of Monmouth, in a hovel near the town, where he-had slept, the buudle was taken from him, and he was again taken back to his master, and finally com. niitted for the felony. These facts being proved, the Jury returned a verdict of guilty, recommending him to mercy on account of his youth. The court sentenced him to three months' impri- sonment and hard labour, and during that time to be twice pritately whipped. When a young gentleman of the neighbour- hood has honorably distinguished himself by his attainments, it is but right to give it local publicity, though at the moment overlooked. By the lists which appeared in the Oxford papers of those who distin- guished themselves at the recent public examination in that lJuiversity, we find that Mr William Dyke, Scholar of Jesus (second son of Mrs. Dyke, of Mon- mouth) obtained a third Class iu the Classics. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF COMMANDER JOHN- GORE, It N.O,i Sunday last the Melville, bearing the flag ot Vice-Admiral Sir John Gore, was telegraphed oft Falmouth, from the East India station. We regret to learn, Commander John Gore, only son of the Ad- i -iral, who was also on his passage home in the Melville, after an absence of nearly four years, was drowned off Algoa Bay, together with the first Lieutenant, in bravely attempting to save the life of a man. This sad event happened in the sight of the Admiral, whose agony of grief may peihaps be con. ceived. The profession has to mourn the loss of a pro- mising young officer. We fear that other lives were sacrificed on the same occasion, but as yet no further particulars have reached us, nor do we know the name of th officer who perished with Sir John Gore's son.

BRECONSHIRE. BRECON RACES.—We understand these races Will take place in September next, and, from the arriingements made, there is every reason to expect that the sport will be excellent. Full particulars will appear in a future Guardian. 13RECON FAIR.-We are sorry to say that there was ho improvement in the price of cattle and horses at the last fair. A great many ponies were sold at good prices. H. R. Reynolds, Esq. the Chief Commissioner of the Insolvent Debtors Court, attended for the first time at Brecon, on Saturday the 4th of July, but there being no prisoner to be examined, the, Court was not held.

Of the dead bodies, some were black, shrivelled, and" mutilated; but, by far the greater portion, apparently suffocated by the after-damp, seemed as if they were in a profound and tranquil sleep. The four persons who have escaped with life are much burnt, but con- fident hopes are entertained of their recovery, although it is 51 ore thap probable that their reason is lost for ever. Exertion*are-making to obtain the remainder of the bodies, but no hopes are entertained of getting any more with life. SAFETY LAMP.—In connexion with the melan- choly accident which occurred a few days ago at Wallsend^ we may mention that Mr Richard Ayre, at the Bridge End, in this town, has invented a means of extinguishing the safety lamp when the gas becomes daogeroutt., This invention depends upon no contri- vance to be employed at the discretion of the person burning the lamp. The danger itself extinguishes the light. An extinguisher is suspended by a crooked wire, which straightens as soon as the gas makes the lamp too hot, lets fall the extinguisher, and thus pre- vents the possibility of explosi?n,TyneMerèur,. I. Mathews died on the anniversary of his birth- day. His disease was water on the chest; his, burial took place in St. Andrew's, Stonetiouse, mouth. Mr Mathews, about 18 years since, thrown out of his gig in the Haymarket, in company with the late Mr Terry, and had been lame since. Sir A. Cooper, Brodie, and Carpu, all contended that no dislocation had occurred the result of the post- mortep4 dissection has set the point at rest; the head of the thigh bone was found quite in its situation, but had been obliquely fractured through its neck and head, withiu the capsular ligament of the joint; both the head of the bone and the articulating cavity were rough and unequal; the muscles of the hip bad greatly contracted, and the spine in the region of the loins curved forward in consequence of his lameuess. DREADFUL RETRIBUTION.—One of the most sin- gular causes of death which we recollect hearing for many years, took place on Friday, when a farmer of the name of William Barnes, who resided at Vinten farm, Plympton St. Mary, was literally crushed to death by his horse. It appears that during the earlier part of the day he had treated the animal with great severity, and that the poor creature, (fearful it is supposed of a repe- tition) trembled violently on his entering the stable, and that in sideling, the animal drove him against the wall of the stable, and crushed him to death. MORE OF MAJOR JACK DOWNING. LETTER 40ill. Captain Downing visits the Legislature of Maille again. Augusta, State of Maine. January 4.th, 1832. To the Editor of the Portland Courier. My dear old Friend, Here I am, right auiong the Legislate) folks, jest as I used to be down there to Portland. I got. there last night, after a pretty hard journey from Mada- waska, rather lame, and my feet and ears froze pretty bad. I hope I shan't lose any one of them, for if i should lose my feet I should'nt stand much of a fag with the British down there to Fredericton, in case we should have a brush with 'em. And all my hopes about ever being President of the United States depends on the woful whipping j'm going to give the British. And I'm afraid I should'nt b& much better off if I should lose my ears, for a President without ears would cut rather a sorry figure there to Wash. ington. I sent on to the old President to see if he would let me have a furlough to come up to Augusta, while the Legislaters were here, for I thought I CthJ nt stan it without bein here to see how they get along. The President said he did'nt think there wooid be any fighting down to Madawaska before the spring opetif, so he did'-t care if I went. I jest hobbled into the Legislater to day to see 'em chuse officers; but I hav'ut any time to tell you what a great fine house they've got into. I believe it's vastly better than the one they had to Portland though, j guess there'll be no stopping the wheels of Government this year, for I believe they have got the house fixed so as to carry the wheels by STEAM*. They got the steam up before I went in, and it was so thick sometimes, that I should think the wheels might go like a buzz.- They told me there was a good many new members, and a good many more of 'em than there was last year so I dld'lIt know as I should see hardly anybody that I knew. I was never more agreeably disappointed in my hfe than I was by the first voice I heard calling the members to order. I knew it as quick as I could tell the fife and drum of my own company at Madawaska. And if I should hear, that fife and drum this very minute it would nt give a ple^santer thrill to my feelings. I looked round, aijdisure enough there was the sandy honest look,.and the- large fleshy figure of i-iay old friend Mr K owiton, of Montville, holding a broad brimmed hat in tiis-hand, aiid-calting upon the great jam of folks to come to order. I could'nt hardly help crowding right in among 'em to shake hands with him. I was so glad to see him. But as I was only a lobby member I tho't it would'nt do. But I'll tell you what 'tis, you may depend upon the business goiug off glibb here this winter for, hav-ing. a building going by steam, and Mr Knowlton here todri«e it. it aint all the Jacksonites aud Huntonites in the State that can stop it. Aud, besides, I can't find out as yet that there is any more than one party here it there should be hereafter, I'll let yon know.—I was glad they chose Mr White to be speaker, for he is always so good-natured and uses everybody so well, I can't help liking him. I hav'nt been in the sinuet yet, but they^ say Mr Dunlap is Presi- dent. I was in hopes to see Elder Hall here this winter, but I believe he has'nt come. Your old friend, CAPT. JACK DOWNING.

The State-house being new and the walls not dried when fires came to be made in the rooms, it filled them with thick vapor for several days, which led Cap!. Downing to suppose the legislature was going by steam.

DR. CLARKE ON SUBMITTING TO ESTA- BLISHED GOVERNMENTS. ell "For there is no power but of God." (Rom. 13 v. 1.) As God is the origin of power, and the Supreme Governor of the Universe, He delegates authority to whomsoever He will; and though, i,» many cases the governor himself nny not be of God, yet civil govern- ment is of Him without this there could be no Society, no security, no private property all would be con- fusion and anarchy and the habitable world would soon be depopulated. In ancient times. God, in an especial manner on many occasions, appointed the individual who was' to govern, and he accordingly governed by a Divine right; as in the case of Moses, Joshua, the Hebrew Judges, and several of the Israelitiih Kings. In after times, and to the present day, he does that by a super- intending providence, which he did before by especial designation. In all nations of the earth, there is what maybe called a constitution, a plan by which a particular country or state is governed; and this constitution is less or more, calculated to promote the interest of the community. The civil governor, whether he be, elective, or hereditary, agrees to govern according to that constitution. Thus, we may consider, there is a compact and consent between the governor and governed and in such case the potentate may be con- sidered as coming to the supreme auilhorily,. in .the direct way of God's providence: and, as civil govern- ment is of God, who is the fountain of law, order and regularity, the civil governor, who administers the laws of a state, according to its constitution, is the Minister of God. But it has been asked, if the ruler be an immoral or profligate man, does he not prove himself, thereby, to be unworthy of his high office, and should he not ba deposed? 1 answer—NT0 if he rule according to c°^1(u.t>oiil nothing can justify rebellion against h.s ^ulhority. Fol. his conduct he ts accountable to his people for his moral! conduct he is accountable to his God. A king may be a good moral man, and yet a weak and indeed a bad and dangerous prince. He may be a badman, and stained w„h vice in his priiSfe, and yet be a good prince. ",U' Saul was a good moral man, but a bad prince,-be- cause he endeavoured to act contrary to the Israeiitish constitution—he changed some essential parts of that constitution—he was, therefore, lawfully deposed. as 1 can learn, but he was a and dangerous prince: he eudea toured to alter an essentially change the British con- stitution both IU Chui th and State therefore he was lawfully depos • would be euny in running1 over the "St ofonr °wn Ikings, to point'out scleral who were t Pu e 9ood kings, who in private life were very immoral. Bad as they might be iu private life, the consututtoo wag> in thefr ever j considered a liacrd 4ep<^H, and they faithfully pre- served, it, and transmitted it, unimpaired, to their suc- cessors aud took. Care 0 Wl\II,hey hdd the reins of government, <° « impartially aud effectually ad- ministered- It mu¡.¡t be allowed, notwithstanding, that .when a p. Whoever heedful to the laws, is un- righteous in private life, hIs example is contagious morality banished from the throne, is discountenanced by the community, and happiness is diminished in proportion to the increase of vice. On the other hand, j when a kiug governs acc()'*diii.- to the constitution of his reaK and has his heart aud life governed by the laws of his God, he js then a double blessing to,-Ili* people; while he is ruling carefully according- to the laws, his pioos example is a great meant) Of extending and confirming the reign of pure morality among his subjects. ice is discredited from the throne, and the profligate dare not hope for a place of trust and confi- dence (however iq other respects he may be qualified fj»r it), because he is a vicious man. But to conclude the argument, I wish particularly to shew the utter unlawfulness of rebellion against a ruler; and the additional blessing of haviug a prince, who, while his political conduct is regulated by the principles of the constitution, his heart and life' aije regulated by the dictates of eternal truth as contained In that revelation which came from God.' i-

At the late meeting of the Council, at wnidtJ Sir George Grey, one of the Canada Commissioners, was sworn in, after that gentleman had taken the oaths his Majesty took the constitutional and wiseT though of late, unusual course for the Kinir to address the comniissioner at some length upon the nature of the duties he was to discharge. If we are rightly iil- formed, he pointed out to Sir Geo. Grey how far his line ofduty was marked out in his oath, and then reminding the commissioner that the Catiadas had been won by BrItlsh valour-had been bought with ,British blood-bad been improved and enlarged at the expense ot thIs country-warned him that these ,proviucesiiiu at lot be lost., or given away. « Re- member, S11, said his Majesty, iu words which, We Relieve we quote hterally_<4 Remember, Sir, these provinces must not be lost, or G.JTEU AWAY WHAT- EVEU OTHERS MAY SAY TO YOU, tell you I this— the Cauadas must not be lost, or given away." MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE—On Wednesday the 24th of June, at the Church of St. George' Hanover Square, by the Hon. and Rev. George Neville GrenvtHe; the tion. Richard Rowley to M issShipley, The lovely bride was attired in a magnificent dress. composed entirely of Buckinghamshire lace; she was attended by eight bride's maids and by a large company, among whom we noticed Lady Langford, and the Hon. Miss Rowley, the Hon. Mrs Ferguson, Lord George and Miss Qllin, Sir Watkin and Miss Williams Wynn, Lord and Lady Delamøre-, Mrs Cho'mondeley, the Right Honorable C. W Williams Wynn and family, Sir Stephen and the Miss Glynnes, Lord and Lady Mostyn and the Misses Lloyd, Mr and. Lady Harcourt Mostyn, Viscount Combermere and the Misses Cotton, Dr. Warren, Mrs. C. Warren and the Misses Warren. Sir W. WiHiams-Wynn gave a sumptuous banquet, at which were present most of tha above mentioned persons, and in the evening, Lady Harcourt opened her grand suit of rooms to a select number of the fashionable world. DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT TO MUKDliK. Considerable sensation has been excited at Birmingham by the providential discovery of an attempt to murder, maim, or otherwise disable Mr Lad, of the Bristol-road, iu that town, by sending him a tin box containing a quan- tity of gunpowder and other combustible materials, so placed as to cause the explosion of the whole on opening the box in the ordinary way. By some happy chance, however, that did not take place. The box contained three pounds and a half of gunpowder, of great strength, toge- ther with a quantity of hard peas, and had the explosion taken place, Mr Lad, and all persons in the house in all probability, would have been blown to pieces, and no rem- nant of the box left by which it could be ascertained how the horrible and frightful occurrence had been occasioned. It appears that the canister had been packed up as a par- cel and left at the Frightened Horse, from whence it got to the hands of Mr Lad. Suspicion almost immediately fell upon a person of respectable connections, named Mount- ford, who was consequently taken into custody, and it appears that his person almost exactly corresponds with that of the man who left the parcel; but Mrs Partridge, who received it, declined to swear positively to his identity when examined before Mr Williams, the magistrate. Oil removing the blue paper cover which was pasted round the canister a piece of newspaper was found, which proved, from the date of an advertisement upon it, to have been part of a Leeds Intelligencer of the 5th of July, 1832, and on searching Mountford's house a fragment of the same newspaper and of the same date was found in one of the rooms. On Thursday week the prisoner underwent a fur ther examination, when Mr Ashley, the fire-works-inanu- facturer, of Little Charles-street, was examined. He stated that the box sent to Mr Lad was admirably constiucted for the purpose, and that the Waterloo bang-ups, so placed as to act as fuse*, were manufactured in away so sure of ignition that an explosion on opening the box was almost inevitable. It was, indeed, difficult to account for the failure. The prisoner was remanded till Thursday last, to afford time for the production of a perfect copy of the Leeds Intelligencer of the 5th of July, 1832, to show the identity between the paper found on the canister and that in the prisoner's house, The case again s tLNIo tintfor (I was, how- ever, materially strengthened by a person named Willets who cime forward on Friday, and swore positively that he saw the prisoner in the neighbourhood of the Frightened Horse, in company with another man, at the very hour when he is stated to have called with the parcel. On Monday last, after having heard read the various depositions of the wit- nesses, Mr Williams committed the prisoner to take his trial at the ensuing assizes for the county of Stafford, on the capital charge of attempting to murder Mr had, tin-fer tbe 9th Geo. IV, cap. 31, sec. 11. Although Mountford now stands fully couiinitted, he was to have been again brought before the magistrates at the public-office, on Thursday, for the purpose of hearing additional evidence which will be produced against him on his trial. A wit- ness we are informed, is now forthcoming who saw him deliver the box at the Frightened Horse. Some doubt exists amongst lawyers as to the nature of the prisoner's offence. If, however, the bill for felony be thrown out, the prisoner will then be indieted for the misdemeanour.— Gloucester Chronicle.

A dinner was given on Saturday to Messrs Wason and Morrison, newly elected members for Ipswich, aud in honor of" purity of election." There is only one circumstance belonging to the dinner which we feel disposed to notice, as in itself a rather droll one—viz, that at an entertainment appointed with a view to reprobate 41 corruption, intimidation, and bribery" at elections, the parties should light upon a chairman in all respects so appropriate as Mr Daniel CKClmnell, Of course the back of this learned personage's chair was surmounted by those emblems of "purity" and abstinence from intimida- tion" which had so much distinguished the 10 popular" cause at the Kerry election and elsewhere,- ot course the death's-head and cross-bones were duly embla- zoned, with a couple of agitating priests for supporters, and a list of bullied or fictitious voters, copied from the proceedings at Carlowand in Dublin, for the motto. To those who know what facts, have come out illtie.. trative cf the system pursued in Ireland-of the conduct of the priests, and of the O'Connell principle! as they are worked in practice by pupils of the O'Connell school—it must be the most delectable of all human sights to behold this great master of political prudery engaged in lackering over with his gloss of abstract sentiment the beautiful framework of his own code of "free elec tioti. 7imes. The new Church Bill.or rather Church Abolition Bill, for Ireland, is a fair, however melancholy, illus- tration, as it is a direct and necessary consequence, of the principle on which this Ministry came into office. It is a. Popish measure. It is an O'Connell measure. It is a measure which Lord Morpeth vainly attempts to disguise or palliate, under the name of promoting- reli- gious "PEACE," as if oppression were "peace," or spoliation "peace," or Protestant humiliation "peace or as if Popish supremacy ever could bring any peace, but that of death to political freedom, to sodal happi- ness, or, in what regards the United Kingdom, to its union and stability.- Tijncs. AN IRISH APOTHECARY'S BILL.—In a case tried in the Dublin Court of Common Pleas, an action WU8 brought by an apothecary for medicines furnished « and professional services rendered to an aged gentle- nun of 23; the bill was the object of much amuse- ment. The bill of particulact; for three years' atten- dance amounted to £4,707 15!1. 3d.; for one of the years alone it was £ 3,599 15s. 3d.; and one of the months it reached the enormous amount of jt'485 19s 5d, or an average quantity of physic, &c. daily of about sixteen pounds sterling ill. value; as many a.. eigh t enemas were charged for in one day the number of visits in the bill was 1,703. The jury found for the plaintiff, £800. A MUSICAL POSER.-In the proceedings before the Worcester Election Committee, the vates of persons who had been engaged in the bauds of either party were struck off. A witness who w^ts called to prove one of these cases was cross-examined by counsel, M r p-, to t'le fol!owil1g effect \hat instrument d:d he play"?-" The C flule, Sir."—Ob, the Sea ttu:e. Come now, Sir, you seem to be uncommonly scientific in musical matters, pray explain to the committee the difference between a Sea flute and a land flute." The committee, and all present except the unmusical coun- sel, without waiting for the witness's answer, joined in one general laughing chorus, to the iufinite astonist meut of the learned gentleman, until his whimsical blunder was explained to him. Mr W. observed that counterpoint was the only point upon which his learned friend would ever be found at Sea.- Worcester Guar- dian. A new species of wheat, which grows and ripens in 70 days, is said to have been introduced with success into the Department du Nord. Should this be true, and the new grain become perfectly ac- climated in France, it will afford three harvests, for according to the declaration of the farmers, it grows equally weil in all seasons.
