St. George's Harbour and Railway. A CONTINUATION or BRANCH of the GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY,commencing at or near Pres- ton Brook, through Chester, Flint, Greenfield, Mostyn, Rhyd- land, to Great Ormshead. In the vicinity of Ormshead, an extensive harbour, similar to that of Kingstown, will be formed, which, with suitable Docks and Warehouses, will constitute the new Town of Port Wrexham. CAPITAXa, f-750,000, In 15,000 Shares of 501, each.- Deposit ll. a Share. The importance and utility of such an outlet to the commerce ofjjthe Inland and Central Manufacturing Towns of England can no longer be doubted. By this route, the manufactures of Birmingham, the Staf- fordshire Potteries, the iron of Staffordshire, Warwickshire, and North Wales, will find a more certain, more speedy, and a less expensive channel of transit to Ireland, to North and South America, to the West Indies, and to every other part of the Globe. By the same route, the corn and cattle of Ireland, American Timber, and all kind of Colonial Produce, will reach those po- pulous districts in a shorter period, and at a cheap rate, than they can now be carried at, by way of Liverpool. At the Ormshead there is a depth of water sufficient at all times of the tide, to float mercantile vessels of the greatest burthen. The sands, which render the approach to the port of Liver- pool so dangerous, terminate a little to the eastward of the site of the intended harbour, consequently the heavy charges which fall upon vessels destined to Liverpool will be avoided. Pilotage and Ilight Dues will be reduced one half. Insurance, both on vessels and cargoes, will be effected from or to Port Wrexham at a much less premium than to or from Liverpool. The towing of Vessels by Steam, which, from the port of Liverpool, is now estimated to cost 20.0(XM. annually, will be, from Port Wrexham, quito unnecessary. The distance from Ormshead to the Grand Junction Railway, at Preston Brook, by way of Liverpool, Newton, and Warrington, is not less than 80 miles, whereas the distance by the proposed line will not exceed 60 miles;-thus, between Dublin and Birmingham, twenty miles of the distance will be saved, and the danger which now besets the approach to the Mersey will be avoided. To VVrexham, Shrewsbury, Cheltenham, Worcester, Glou- cester, South Wales, Bristol, and Exeter, by the new Lines of Railways, which are already before the public, this line will have a decided advantage as it will unite at Chester the Great Western with the Great Northern Lines, and form a termina- tion to tin m both. The whole line is almost a water-level. The country through which a great part of the line passes is at present waste, unin- closed land. Materials for the construction of the Railroad and Harbour are in great abundance on the Line, and may be produced at a less cost than in almost any other part of Great Britain. The line will pass over a country abounding in coal and through the very centre of the lead trade of Flintshire. On a section of five miles of the road, namely, from Flint to Greenfield, it is estimated that no less than 5,000/. annually is now paid for land carriage of lead, copper, and coals. It is ascertained that the principal landholders on the Line, will give their hearty sanction to the exertions of the projectors. I The present estimate, made from a hasty survey, warrants the promoters in stating that the cost of the Railway will not exceed B,OOOl. per mile, and that 250,OOOl. will be ample to secure an Act of Parliament, and to complete the Harbour, Docks, and Warehousing. The capital required for this noble undertaking will, there- fore, be 750,000/. Persons wishing to participate in this advantage may secure Shares hy making application (post-paid) to the following appointed agents, on or before the 8th day of February next, when a Prospectus will be ready, with the names of the Direc- tors, Engineers, and Projectors of the undenting.

Spirit of the Contemporary…
Spirit of the Contemporary Press. Ministers are proceeding vigorously with their reforms. The Lord Chancellor introduced a bill for the consolidation iind reform of the Ecclesiastical Courts, to the principle of which Lord Lyndhurst expressed himself favourable and in the Commons, Lord John Russell brought forward a bill for the general registration of births, marriages, and deaths, and likewise a bill for the purpose of amending the laws regulating the marriages of Dissenters. Lord John stated, in 18:>-1, that any bill for the regulation of the mar- riages of Dissenters, to be sufficient and satisfactory, should be preceded by a registration bill; and lie is now endeavour- ing to give eftect to bis views. Nothing can be more defective than the system of registration in this country, arising from the defect in the principle of the registration, that it was ecclesiastical, and not civil. The great difficulty hitherto, in the way of any remedy, has been the expense. But the machinery of the new Poor Law Act supplies means for overcoming the difficulty. There are already 228 Unions in England and Wales, comprising 3,283,000 persons, and there will shortly be more than eight hundred Unions, so that, by 1837, a sufficiently broad foundation will be laid for the general introduction of the system. In each Union, besides the overseer and assistant, there were the auditor and clerk ot the board. His lordship proposed that one of these officers should be appointed by the Poor Law Commissioners, registrar for a certain number of per- sons, that the registrar should be under another officer- say the auditor or |clerk. that another superior registrar should hold a countv office, and that there should be an office in London, under the direction of the Poor Law Com- missioners. The subordinate officers to register the births, deaths, and marriages and every two months all the en- tries to be forwarded to the county office, and then trans- mitted to the central office in London. His lordship detailed the various means for insuring the entrance of the births and deaths, which would be gratuitous. The ex- pense of the local registries would be something more than 40,000/. a-vear, and the total charge, including the chief office in London, about 80,000<. a-voar the expense of the local registrars and superintendents'fees to be charged on the parishes that of the central office on the treasury. With respect to marriages, Lord John's plan differs ma- terially from that of Sir Robert Peel. Sir Robert made a distinction between the members of the Established Church and Dissenters, which gave umbrage to many of the latter. In the case of the Dissenters, a mere civil compact was only required whereas in the case of the members of the Church, a religious ceremony was necessary. But by Lord John Russell's bill, the Protestant Dissenters will be mar- ried by their own ministers, and the members of the Esta- blished Church according to their marriage ceremony, in both cases in presence of the registrar, while those Who prefer the civil contract are left at liberty to adopt it, in presence, however, of the registrar. The two bills proposed by his lordship appeared to give general satisfaction. A quibble was started by Sir Robert Feel as to the difficulty of securing the attendance of the registrars at several dis- senting places of worship at the same time but how easy may a difficulty of this kind be obviated by the appointment of deputies for that purpose. Lord John stated, in expla- nation, that there would generally be one registrar to every 5,000 persons, and as the calculation was that the mar- riages were in proportion to the population less than one per cent., this would be fewer than fifty for each registrar per annum. Indeed, from the opinion of the provisions of the bill expressed by the house, it was obvious that no weight was attached to the objection. Sir Robert, as well as when the tithe bill was proposed, seemed to complain that Lord John had stolen his thunder. There is, however, this important difference, that Sir Robert's tithe bill not being compulsory, was really a nonentity, while there is a fair prospect of Lord John's leading t) a satisfactory result. In the same manner Sir Robert's proposed relief to the Dissenters did not satisfy them, and therefore failed of its object. The objection entertained towards it by the Dis- senters was, that it attached a stigma to them, by making a religious ceremony necessary for the members of the Church of England, while no religious sanction was required for the validity of the marriage of the Dissenters, thereby con- veying an insinuation that the Dissenters were indifferent to religion. Lord John has found his way through a very embarrassing subject. It is but justice, however, to Sir Robert Peel to admit, that his marriage bill was a material improvement on the existing law.-Morlling Chronicle. The debate of TI-,jrsday .se'nnight in the House of Lords, on education in lrel«.;jJ, furnished f.osh instufices uf that distortion of views on the plainest subject*, that perversion or' language and of reasoning, of which we should have though Irish party spirit alone capable, were it not that politicians enough are found in that house, from our own side of the channel, who on such topics as ipsis Hihcrvis Iliherniores. The difference between Protestants and Ro- man Catholics, with respect to the use of the Bible in schools, appears to amount to no more than this—that the Protestants would put the whole Bible in the hands of the child and then would have him read, in school, portions selected by the master; the Catholics would put a volume of extracts in his hand, and make use of it in the same way. We speak not of the important opposition of sentiments which exists between the two great sects with reference to the use of the Bible generally that, however prominently it may be forced into the discussion in the speeches of wandering missionaries or missionary Lords, has nothing to do with the present question the simple concern of go- vernment in establishing national education was to adapt their institution to the practical use which is made of the sacred volumes by each in the education of youth. It was clear, therefore, that such an institution could not be framed if the whole Bible were used as a school-book, because the Catholics, wherever their own scruples or those of their spiritual instructors interfered, could not reap the advan- tage of it. But, in common reason, no such objection could be supposed to exist in the minds of Protestants against the use of books of extracts, provided only those ex- tracts tcere carefully made subject to the approbation of the Protestant clergy, because such a limitation amounts to no more than incorporating, in the substantive form of a book, selections such as the master himself must otherwise have made of his own judgment; for not even Lord Roden, or the Bishop of Exeter, makes the whole Bible, we presume, a school-book for his children. The case, therefore, stands thus between the party:—The Catholic is desirous that the teacher should not use the Bible for the purpose of instruc- tion, because, in his opinion, the church only can be trusted to make selections. The Protestant thinks that the school- master can safely make those selections but he need not therefore disapprove of extracts made beforehand which the authorities of his own church has sanctioned. The grievance of the Catholic, therefore, by the adoption of the Protestant scheme, would be a real one the grievance of the Protestant by the use of books of extracts (under proper sanction) is, we repeat it, notwithstanding all the misre- presentation which political faction has engendered and ignorant zeal has circulated, purely and simply imaginary. Has the government, then, orrather the Board of Education, sufficiently guarded against the danger of Protestant feeling being shocked by the character of the extracts contained in their autborised selection ? Has it provided that the Bible shall not be mutilated in those extracts in order to suit the views of the Catholics by special omissions f These ques- tions have been answered again and again. The extracts were made according to the express suggestion of the Par- liamentary report of 1812, in which the most distinguished Irish prelates joined. They were made under the joint superintendence and by the joint labours of eminent clergy- men of the Anglican, Catholic, and Dissenting persuasions. Not one syllable has ever been uttered against their con- tents-not an assertion has been ventured that thev are not such as a conscientious Protestant, of whatever denomina- tion, might use for the education of his own children. And, in order that full opportunity might be afforded forinstruc- tion in those points on which Christians unfortunately differ far more cordially than they agree in the rest, a day in the week, or a portio/i of certain days, is allowed in these schools for the instruction of children by the pastors of their parents' denominations. The Bishop of Exeter, and those who think with him, have been for years past inflam- ing the minds of the Protestant part of the community by appealing to every political prejudice, and every latent feeling of religious bigotry, against these schools. In the present circumstances of Ireland, it is only wonderful that their success was not far more extensive than in all proba- bility it has been. The Orange party have established "scriptural schools (as they are called, by a profanation of language of which none but political leligionists would be guilty in the present day-religious differences, where unconnected with politics, have long assumed a less bitter character) in opposition to the national system. They boast of the success of their own institutions, and the falling off of the number of Protestant children in those of the government. We trust their vauntings are without foun- dation we have good ground to believe so, finding the new schools supported by two hundred clergymen of the church but if otherwise, we can only reply with Lord Melbourne, If these advantages are rejected by the Protestants, we will not be parties to refusing to impart them to the Roman Catholic population who are willing to accept them." A great boon has been offered to the whole people. The Pro- testants—one-sixth of the whole—refuse it. Then we must turn to the Catholics. They receive it and welcome it. It will not be less the national system, if framed for the whole and cordially adopted by five-sixths of the people, because portion of remaining siith prefer to follow u system of their own. — Globe.

Miscellaneous Domestic Intelligence. There is no truth whatever in the statement which has appeared in some of the newspapers, that the Lord Lieutenant is about to proceed to London. His Ex- cellency, we understand, has at present no such intention. The Duke of Wellington has been enjoying the diver- sions of hunting during the week at Strathfieldsay, with Sir John Cope's hounds. The Marchioness Conyngham, who has been danger- ously ill for some days past, owing to a sudden shock received during her Ladyship's sojourn at Brighton, was on Wednesday delivered of a still-born child. Her Ladyship was in considerable danger, but is now said to be in a fair way of recovery. His Serene Highness Prince John Schwartzenburg? whose name is associated with a well-known elopement in high life some years ago, is likely, it is said, to form a matrimonial alliance with the Countess de Baudnel, relict of the French Minister at the Court of Munich. The late Noble Peers, Viscount Kingsland, Baron Kinsale, and the Noble Baron Lord Kirkcudbright, respectively were in the receipt of pensions of 369/ 100/ and 200/, all of which by their deaths have ceased. The young Duke of Roxburgh, who will attain his majority this year, after a long minority, is prosecuting his studies at Christ Church College, Oxford. The future King of Portugal, accompanied by his brother, Prince Augustus of Saxe Coburg, and the Count de Lavradio, arrived at Brussels on the 9th. Lord Brougham is nearly convalescent, and takes his daily promenade. In his intercourse with his friends, we are informed, that on the subject of politics he observes a complete taciturnity. His Lordship is expected to leave the north soon to attend to his par- liamentary duties. The Russian Ambassador left Ashburnham House at noon on Saturday, accompanied by Lord Burghersh, on a visit to the Duke of Wellington at Stratfieldsaye. The Prussian and other Foreign Ministers followed. The Karl and Countess of Jersey went down on Saturday morning. The Marquis and Marchioness Wellusley arrived on Thursday night. A grand dinner was given yesterday. Admiral Sir John Beresfoid, M.P., Sir Robert Fitzwigram, and a deputation of Baronets, accompanied by Mr. Brown, are to attend at the Pavilion at Brighton next week, to receive his Majesty's gracious pleasure for the order to resume their ancient privilege to wear their badge and riband on her Majesty's birth-day. Mr. Gramley Berkeley has renewed his motion for the admission of ladies into the strangers' gallery; it is fixed to come on the 3d of May. Dr. Hampden is to be appointed Regius Professor of Divinity in the University of Oxford. On Wednesday the 10th instant, a General Assembly of the Academicians of the Royal Academy of Arts was held at their apartments in Somerset-house, when John Gibson and Charles Robert Cockerell, Esqrs., were duly elected Royal Academicians, in the room of Henry Bone and Gilbert Stuart Newton, Esqrs., deceased. We have the best reason to know that the majority on the Irish Corporation Bill will be double, at least, that on the Address. Many waverers have already sent in their adhesion —many more will not vote—and it is doubtful whether even Sir Robert Peel will persist in the course he attempted with such ill success at the commencement of the Session. We have reason to believe that the question of the Irish Church will be postponed until after Easter recess, if not to a later period. W e are glad to learn that Captain Deans Dundas, R.N., was on Wednesday se'nnight unanimously elected one of the Representatives for Devizes, in the room of Sir P. II. Durham. Mr. Kean has experienced the most flattering reception at the Bath theatre he has been performing his principal characters during the last ten days to crowded houses. The Bath critics speak in the highest terms of his exer- tions. He next proceeds to Edinburgh and Glasgow, to fulfil yctitif-3 crrtorr:xj ttito""fast"TUltOTfill.

A petition has been presented from George Mostyn, of Kiddington, in the county of Oxford, Esq., 10 deteimine the abeyance of the Barony of Vauxin his favour; also one from Sarah Otway Cave, of Stanford Hall, Leicester- shire, widow, to determine the Barony of Bray in her favour. They were presented to the house of Lords by command of his Majesty, and by their Lordships referred st to a committe of privileges. The King has been pleased to grant permission to Sir Andrew Leith Hay, K.H., M.P., to accept and wear the insignia of a Knight Commander of the Royal and dis- tinguished Order of Charles the Third, conferred upon him by her Majesty the Queen of Spain. It is understood that the following gentlemen are to be raised to the dignity of Baronets of the United Kingdom, namely—Sir Frederick Adair Roe, Colin Mackenzie, Esq., of Kilcoy, Ross-shire, Donald Campbell, Esq., of Dunstaffnage, Argyllshire, and R.

Brisbane, of Macker- stoun, Roxburgshire Sir Henry Bethune, of Kilconq uhar, Fifeshire John Graves Sawter, Esq.; Rev. John Barber Mill; James A. Company; and John Power. Esq., of Dublin. The law arrangements, it is believed, will probably be as follow :-Dickersteth (Lord Langdale), Master of the Rolls, will introduce a bill for separating the political from the judicial functions of the Lord Chancellor. Should this bill be carried, Pepys (Lord Cottenham) will be the Chancellor in Equity, Lord Denman Speaker of the House of Lords, and Sir John Campbell elevated to the Peerage by bis lady's title, Chief Justice of the King's Bench. Lord William Paget has arrived safe out at Santander in the Tar steamer, on his way to join General Evans's head-quarters. The Hon. Col. de Roos and Capt. Drinkwater, who were attached, pro. tem., to the Earl of Durham's em- bassy, have returned to England. The gallant officers visited the ports on the Black Sea. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in reply to the ap- plication of the solicitor to the committee appointed by the Duke of York's creditors says, that government would not be warranted in adopting the course suggested by the creditors, unless, upon the authority of a legal decision, namely, for the appropriation of the Cape Breton mines. It appears that since the opening of St. John's Wood burial ground in 1813, upwards of 36,000 bodies have been interred, and that each grave contains from twelve to eighteen. We understand that a reduction of nearly four thou- sand pounds a year has been cflected in the office of the Secretary at War, in consequence of judicious and economical arrangements which have just been brought into operation by the noble lord at the head of that department. A letter has been received from Capt. Ross, dated Stromness (Orkney), Feb. 5, reporting his having reached long. 31 W.. lat. 59, 57 N. but in consequence of the injury done the ship by a sea carrying away her bowsprit and otherwise damaging her, lie has been compelled to return to Stromness to refit. The I Standard' says that an address to the King against the appointment of Dr. Hampden to be Regius Professor at Oxford, has been signed by more than 70 Tutors and Fellows of the University, and transmitted to the Archbishop of Canterbury tor presentation.

Colonel Sibthorp has given notice that on the 10th of March, he will call the attention of the house to the present duty on tallow wicks, with the view of recom- mending an increased duty on the importation of those articles, foreign and colonial." So utterly unable are the Tories of Glasgow even to make a show in favour of a candidate of their principles, that although the ultra- Liberals are starting a candidate against Lord William Bentinck, they are not interfering in the cohttil at all. Government intend throwing open to the public another large portion of the Regent's Park. On Thursday last, there were five persons christened at the Warrington pansh church, whose unikd ages amounted to 336. The Lords of the Treasury have been pleased to order that the racehorse duty should not be enforced in respect of horses used in the yeomanry cavalry. Mr. Moorsom has retired from the contest at Cocker- mouth, and the election of Mr. Horsman, the other reform candidate, will therefore take place without oppo- sition. The new Reform Club, under the auspices of the union of the Liberal leaders, is rapidly filling up its ranh. Many hundreds are already enrolled. The admission fee is fifteen guineas, the annual subscription five. The title of the Lord Chancellor's bill, is "To Con- solidate the Jurisdiction of the several eceleslastc,il courts in England and Wales into one court and to enlarge the powers and authorities of such court; and to alter and amend the law in certain matters ecclesiastical." it is to be read entire on the 22d instant, for which day it is ordered that the lords should be specially summoned. On Friday, just as the house was about to adjourn Mr. Wallace moved for a series of returns regarding the Post-office, the terms of which were not heard in the gallery—namely, for particulars of the special services for which Sir F. Freeling receives 700t. a year; the number of rooms alloted to the principal secretary and whether Sir F. Freeling has ever resided there, &c. They were ordered. It is reported that Berehaven has been selected as a general naval, as well as Packet Station, but we are informed that it is not like \'alentia, a place approachable by a Railway, in consequence of the nature of the moun- tains. Those who are in favour of alentia, support their opinion by reason of its so admirably admitting, although not so perfect a port as Berehaven, the coinbi- nation of the application of steam power on the ocean and on the land. At a meeting of the Town Council of Romsey, Lord Palmerston was unanimously re-elected Lord High Steward of the new Corporation. A new Brighton Railway Company has been brought out, which may be distmquished from the others by calling it, 1, Sir John Ronnie's Line." The shares are at a prenium of H per cent. That of Stephenson's remains steady at from 8 to 9 premium, and IS 1 discount. Lieutenant-General Lord Win.

Owing; to the exertions of Mr. Sheil, who is ever vigilant in the cause of his country and countrymen, a pension of 1.ol. a-year life has been settled on the writer of the O Uara Tales." This is an act worthy of a great and good government, and one for which the nation will be ever grateful. It is but fair to say that the whole credit is due to Lord Mulgrave. Sunday morning a turf-boat in ballast, from this citv, on her way to Beigh Castle, was upset in a squall, and awful to relate, thirteen persons perished in the wreck The owner of the boat, and his son and daughter, were among the sufferers.—Limerick Times.

The I I-ui-y Post' says, It was not a bank of issue for re-issuable notes: but, to the sorrow of a great number of industrious liard- working people, it was a bank of deposit. The liabilities are roughly estimated at 70,000/ the assets, it is feared, will fall miserably short of that sum." The Eaii of Meath arrived in town on Friday week from a lengthened tour m Italy, to titfce ttie oaths at»d his scat in the House of Lords, in which his lordship sits as Baron Chaworth. The Archbishops of Canterbury and Yo;k,the Bishop of Loudon, and other commiss.ouers, attended the meet- ing of the Church Commission on Monday.

The resolutions breathe intense hostility to the Evangelical tax." It is supposed at Aix la Chapelle that the King of Prussia will come in the autumn to the Rhenish provinces to be present at the reviews. At this busy period of the session we particularly regret to learn that Mr. Ward, the active and useful member for St. Albans, has been obliged to leave town, III conse- quence of the severe illness of Mrs. Ward and three of l,is children. The Journal de la Haye' states that M. Mendizabal is about to conclude, or has concluded with Lord Pal- merston, a commercial treaty, by which he concedes to British vessels the privilege of importing the products of the Spanish colonies into Spain, which has been hitherto confined to Spanish bottoms. We hear with regret that the Hon. Member for Scar- borough is still at Hackness, haying been preveuted by illness from attending his parliamentary duties at the opening of the session. It is said that one of the Scarborough ships, having on board a considerable quantity of furniture, &c belonging to St. John, has been lost on its passage to London. Covent Garden Theatre was well attended on Saturday for the benetit of the Polish exiles. YVe cannot say the performances were all that could be wished, as some considerable disapprobation was expressed by the au- dience. We are informed, on the most unquestionable authority, that the fell spirit of Orang-eism rages, to no inconsiderable extent, among the members of the New Police. But whether with the connivance of the heads of this life and property protecting army remains to be seen — True Sun. On Thursday, W. Beaumont, Esq M P., and President of the lYlish Society of London, gave a grand dinner at the Rochet de Cancale, in honour to the Polish refugees in Paris.

RocnDALF..—On Monday last. the Flannel Market was well attended, and considerable business was done. All sorts of low goods continued to sell briskly, and ill some instances a small ad vance was obtained. Anything about 40s. or under per piece was eagerly bought up finer qualities were rather dull.
