miscellaneous Domestic Intelligence. A professorship of Mining has just been established in the University of Durham, an endowment vvhich has long been d-iiired. A most ele.Tf.nt piece of plate has been presented to Mr. Oa.sller by the tenants of Thomas Thornhiii, Esq. as a memor- ial of the disinterested manner in which during many years he has tilled the otfice of steward upon that gentleman's Yorkshire estates. Alexander Murray, Esq. has .been returned as a member of Parliament for the Stewarty of Kirkcudbright, in the room of the Right Hon. Robert Cutler Ferguson, deceased. The sudden death of Mrs. Mac' Lean, (L.E. L.,)recorded in Our last,was caused by her taking an over dose of Prnssic Acid, a medicine used by her occasionally, for spasms in the stomach, a disease to which she was subject. Three persons were drowned a few days since whilst attempt- ing to gross the Thamesnear Purley. It appears that the party consisting of 4 persons attempted to go over in a ,herry, but owing to the violence of the stream, the boat was upset, and 3 individuals sunk to rise no more. In the event of the elevation of the Chief Judge of the Court ,e iirt of Bankruptcy to be the new Judge of the Common Pleas, a sinecure place of 8001., held by Mr. Sergeant Lawes, will be gut rid of. Nlr. Bazil Montague will succeed as Chief; and Mr. Sergeant Lawes is to line his choice of succeeding to be Accountant of the Bankruptcy Court, or to let Mr. Gregg do so, and he to take Mr. Gregg's work. From the returns which have been made out it appears that during the present year there have been exported from London nearly 370,000 ounces of cold, and 1,520,000 ounces of silver, which may be estimated of the value of 1,750,000/. There are no returns upon which reliance can be placed of bullion sent off from the outports. The imports must have been consider- able, but of these also no regular returns are furnished. Swan River, Caoton, Lintin, South Australia, the East and West In- dies, St. Petersbiirgb, and the Mauritius have been among those distant placcs to which considerable sums in specie have been shipped. The Londonderry Journal' mentions the seizure of a cask of gunpowder brought by erne of the Scotch steamers in No. vember last, It was enclosed in a crate and marked delf;" and on Sunday last 30lbs. of the saine article was discovered in the trunk of a female passenger, also, on board of one of the Scotch steamers. Rumour now points at the Hon. Thomas Erskine, of the Bankrupt Court, as the new Jud^e in the Common Pleas. The Colonelcy of the 3d Dragoon Guards has become vacant by the death of General Sir Samuel Hawker on Thursday lust. An order in Council has been issued for the re-establishment of the Royal Naval College at Portsmouth, under new regulations. Mr. W. Scholefield has been unanimously elected first mayor of Birmingham, by the new town-council. Wc regret to hear that Mr. Baron Bollaud continues very seriously indisposed. Mr. Justice Littledale, we hear, is about to retire from the,diseliarge of his judical functions.—Globe. The Wesleyan Centenary fund reached the immense sum of 111,000/. before the close of the year; and subscriptions are rapidly flowing in. The estimate of the entire subscription is now 200,0001. The Limerick Standard" says that rumour assigns the vacant Bishopric of C.'ashel, Waterford, &c., to the Bishop of Limerick, to whose see the Bishop of Killaloe will succeed, and that Lord Plunkei's son, the Dean of Down, is to be elevated to the Bishopric of Killaloe. The Bishop of London, in his ordination sermon at St. James's last Sunday, condemned in strong terms the late judgment of Sir Herbtrt Jenner, sanctioning the doctrine of prayers for the dead."—-So say the papers. The judgment of Sir Herbert Jenner however does not sanction prayers for the dead: it merely does not denounce them as essentially in- cl!1(ling the Popish doctrine of purgat Mr. Baron Bollaud has resigned his seat on the Exchequer bench.—Evening paper. e are glad to learn that the general trade of the West of Scotland is in a highly satisfactory position. Ou Christmas morning the sum of -l-'iOOl. was extracted from the desk of Messrs. Clarke, flour-factors, Brunswick-street, Cork; C00/. were in sovereigns. Four men are in custody ou suspicion. The average speed of railroads in America is 15 miles an hour-the common speed of our fast coaches 12. The widow of an officer of tne Russian Guard, named Eufermier, has recently emancipated, with the permission of the Emperor, 405 peasants, who were serfs on her estates, frtauting to each of them a fee simple in nine acres of land. The lady is said to be only 25 years of age, and remarkable ibr her beauty.—Galignani's Me.sseiiger. The Tory papers are endeavouring to propagate a rumour, that, in consequence of the late severe domestic alfliction, Lord John Russell will retire, for the present, at least, from public life. At a shop window in Oxford-street, several cravats of a new fashion are exhibited, upon which is placed a paper with the # following inseripti0n These splendid fashionable Durham Canadian silk cravats, just arrived, 7s. 6d. each." In consequence of the discovery and apprehension of the boy Edwin Jones, in the Queen's Palace, orders have been issued .nui all tradesmen who are engaged in making alterations, &c. in the palace, shall be accountable for the men employed under them, and see that they duly leave at the time appointed. M e regret to say that intelligence has reached Oxford of the death of the Very Reverend the Dean of Exeter, Dr. Landon, for many years Provost of Worcester College. Dr. Landon was the uncle of the lamented L. E. L. One day last week a man was driving a cart near Bam- 1) ridges, when five boys requested hiin to let them ride. He » did so, and having to cross a stream in a dangerous part of the road, the horse and the cart were carried away bv the current, and four of the unfortunate boys were drowned, only one boy and the man escaping. We find amongst the list of recent deaths at Dn1¡1i n, that of the bold and intrepid mariner, Commodore O'nri.cn, who S'rveral times crossed the Channel in the gift of his roval master, George I Y., a vessel not exceeding the length of six feet. At the last meeting of the inJDillastcr5 orStafT0rclsl-¡jre held at Dudley, it was agreed to advance the price of iron generally II. per ton. The iron trade in South Wales is also in a very flourishing and satisfactory state. The combination which has so long existed in the London coal trade, and which has attained to so frightful an extent as aim st to preclude the lower orders from the purchase of fuel, n "t lcr>g*h, we are glad to state, in a fair way of being put an end to, by the firmness and perseverence of the city author- ities. The inhabitants of Madrid, of all ranks and all classes of opinion, are getting up an address of thanks to the Lord Mayor and citizens ofLendon, and the authorities and citizens of Liverpool, for their late humane and well-timed interfe- rence with the British government on behalf of the prisoners taken in the course of the present war in the Peninsula. Th £ following is an extract or a letter from an officer of the Queen's Bays, dated Liverpool, December 21 The nisjlit we sailed from Dublin it came to blow very hard, and owing to the insecure way the vessels were prepared, we had 14 horses kdled in the William Huskisson, two of them very valuable, Sehm and Duke, which were kicked to death, and two of Major horses, and 10 troopers'. Another, worth fOI, is not dead, but terribly kicked, and one eye injured, t-ome others will scarcely get over the injuries they received. Such a sight I shall never forget—at least 20 troopers' horses all loose, struggling and rolling over the deck. One of the officers (Lieut. Robertson) got a bad kick, and a blow on the head which threw him overboard."—Limerick Chron- icle. Last Sunday being Epiphany, the usual offering of gold, frankincense, and myn-h, &c., was made at the Chapel Royal, I St. James's, by Mr. Martin, of the Lord Chamberlain's Olfice, loll behalf of her Majesty. Major General J. W. Sleigh is to succeed General Sir Charles Daibiac as Inspector General of Cavalry. The Marchioness of Breadaibane succeeds the Couutess of Purbam, as Lady of the Bedchamber to her Majesty. An excellent order has lately been circulated among the Recruiting U[fl.rs ill the jwrdhihiting them from enticing cnsinring, and entrapping raw recruits, by holding out false promises of promotion, acquisition of money, &c.; and also, that if any person, while in a state of intoxication, should wish to en!lot into the service, he shall be refused, and be desired to call again and made his application when sober, so that he shall be in a suitable state to judge of his own conduct. It is ascertained that the Eddystone Lighthouse has not sustained the slightest injury during the late severe storm. An order has been rectived at Chatham to get in readiness, without delay, those fine frigates, the Thalia, of 46 long gum;, and the Winchester, of 60 long 32 pounders, which we under- stand will be commissioned immediately.—-Erenin" paper. A correspondent states that within th^se few days there has been a most extraordinary increase of water in the Serpentine, The river has risen nearly four feet, by the sudden irruption of two springs in the north side of the river, near the receiving- house belonging to the Royal Humane Socicty,—Muruing Chronicle. The Queen has been graciously pleased to approve of Mr* Frederick Engel as Consul, at Liverpool, for his Majesty the Kinir of Denmark. A German writer observes, that in England there is such a scarcity of thieves they are obliged to offer a reward for their discovery.—Aldine Magazine. Combination and conspiracy to murder is still rife in the Dublin r nions, no less than three persons are positively sworn against for conspiring to shoot a man named Moses Byrne, for getting a man named Merigan out of employment. Merigan is also taken into custody on the same charge. Several fires of an alarming character have recently broken out near the metropolis. At Brentford and Islington much property has been destroyed. At Dublin on the 3rd inst. at the Commission Court, Anne Brien, profcrre a charge of rape and robbery against several parties with whom she had been in company but she was subsequently taken into custody for wilful perjury, it appearing that she had, 011 no less than four several occasions, preferred similar charges against parties at Manchester. he at first denied the fact: but owing t,) the agency of a free press the Manchester police were enabled to confront her. and she was identified as the accusing party in tour similar case8 bv the acting inspector yf the ilanchefior police and one of hi* officers.
'The S-fcv, T. 21. Stephens.
The S-fcv, T. 21. Stephens. Notwithstanding all the boasting, an l the strong language, f and the desperate threats of the friends of Mr. Stephens," Manchester, is now in as perfect astate of tranquillity as if the so-called Reverend Joseph Raynt'r Stephens had never been made amenable to the laws which he attempted to 1rin; into dispute. The combination of Tories, -lie and anti. poor-law agitators, have no object in view than to talk big, and by strong language, to intimidate the peaceable and overawe the loyal. The leaders of this motley confederacy are quite conscious that they have not the power to set the authori- ties at defiance, and even if they were disposed for open insur- rection, that their followers, their adherents, or their dupes, could not be relied upon. The reporter of Morning Chronicle thus writes from Manchester, on Friday:—What occurred in this town yesterday is a proof that they have not the sympathy of the great masli of the people. Exhortations had been employed, entreaties had been used, to bring from the surrounding districts and the town of Manchester as large a display as possible of physical force and to have that force parafled in the front of the New Bailev, It was said that the numbers that would invest the New Bailey yesterday would at the least amount to forty thousand, and it was boasted that that number might be doubled The attempt was a failure. I state the outside of the numbers collected when I calculate them at four thousand, and those composed of a class of persons who. from the sedentary nature of their avo- cations, were as poor an exhibition of physical strength, that is of solid bone and good muscle, as I kn-e ever looked upon, O'Connell, who has been in Manchester before now, must have had in his eye the appearance which such men present, when he .threatened easily to defeat them with the sinewy" boys of Tipperary. If all the forces of the Chartists and anti-poor-law men be composed of such materials, they ought in prudence to be the very last to talk of fightinir. They haye, however, no such intention, notwithstanding the desperate exhortations that have been made to the people to array themselves, and that those exhortations have had the effect of inducing many of the poor people to provide themselves with pikes, and that, as it was stated by Mr. Deegjm at the meeting last night, several smithies are in full work, solely employe in the manufacture of pikes. In their speeches such men as Deegan are reckless even to absurdity; but all this boldness, audacity, and sedition, is meant to end in nothing but" words, words, words." Mr. Feargus O'Conner left the town at a very early hour this morning. Some say he has gone to Oldham, and others to Scotland. It is believed universally here that the local authorities only wait for directions from the Home-office to issue warrants for the apprehension of Mr. O'Conner, Mr. Oastler, Mr. Richardson, Mr. Jackson, and five or six others. Some of the Radical party say that, if such an attempt were made, it would be followed by the burning down of Manchester, Oldham, Bolton—and Heaven knows how many other places. I am perfectly sure that no such result would follow, and that the arrest of every man of them would be as quietly borne* with as the arrest of Mr. Stephens; of the two, I am convinced, the more quietly; fur his arrest has been succeeded by strong language, which by their arrest, the orators being laid hold ot; not even a speech could be made. In fact, those who assume a power over the multitude declare that it is not their cue to fight," and that they will" talk daggers, but use none." With such a disposition in those who command, and with such slen- der capabilities in those who might be expected to obey, it will be perceived that there can be no foundation for the apprehen- sions which piwail out of Manchester, with respect to the consequences that might result from the wordy war which is just now raging. There is but one class of persons who have any reason to dread violence from the anti-poor-law agitation, and those are the London policemen. If is difficult to describe the excess of loathing with which this class of men are regarded by those whose minds have been excited by the orations of the agitators. They are hated, not because they are officers em- ployed in the service of government; not because they are bound to enforce the preservation of the peace; but because they are the men instrumental in giving effect to the new poor-law and, as such, the local representatives of the poor- law commissioners. From the frightful feelings which exist towards these men, their lives, I believe, are not in safety in this part of the country, and their only security must rest in the strength of their arms and the goodness of the weapons with which they are known to be prepared to defend themselves. I believe that the peril of their situation cannot be exaggerated but it would be exaggeration to state that beyond them, the life or the property of any other human being is endangered by the excitement that now prevails, and the speechilication which is daily and nightly going 011. There are now stationed in Manchester six troops of the Queen's Bay, a regiment of and a rocket brigade, a force quite sufficient to maintain the peace of the town should any attempt (which is most ill1¡¡robable) be made to make a disturbance A great muster of Stephen's friends took place at Bolton on the eycniu6 of Saturday 4000 persons were present, the meet- ing proved that they were cowed, for the chairman commenced the proceedings by disclaiming any participation with the ex- pressions for which Mr. Stephens is prosecuted; while another told them, that in their political proceedings they should not let their" left know what the right hand did." Scarcely one violent 01' seditious expression Was us. except that deli- vered by an individual not belonging to Bolton a Mr. Dee- gan, who hold. the hisrh and responsible situation of delegate from Hyde to the National Convention." It is but justice to him to mention, that he did in one portion of his speech produce a most thrilling sensation, by the following atrocious statement, which he delivered solemnly and deliberately:—"The Whisj are publishing and circulating a book written pnd printed by a man of their own party,for the very purpose of murdering your children. It's a fad-the book is being circulated and what are the conteats of the book ? That it is necessary and ex- pedient, in order to check the (increase of population, that a law should be passed for the purpose ofpreveuting any married couple having more than three children. They were to have a new gas company, awl that gas company would send cut a medical attendant; and after the mother had borne her lovely child nine months in her wlimb, and had suffered the intense anguish of child bcariiig- as soon as the damned doctor came, the little infant was to have a dose of Whig gas given to it, and was to be destroyed (applause). Mr. Stephens had previously made the same statement at a public meeting. Stephens told his hearers that one of the poor-law commissioners had written a book (which he, Ste- phens, had seen) recommending that no poor person should be permitted to have more than three children, and that if more were born, they should be forthwith murdered by policemen employed for the purpose! Stephens compared this recom- mendation, which he assured was to be carried into effect by government, to the conduct of Pharaoh in destroying the child- ren of the Hebrews and then, after designating the Foor-law Commisioners as Devil Kings and Molochs, lie invoked a series of the most horrible curses oil his hearers if they did not resist to the death the introduction of this Poor-law Bill

We understand that the Radicals of London are now engaged in dividing the metropolis into districts, for the purpose of getting up a simultaneous and active political agitation in all parts of it. One or more of their most popular orators are to be appointed to agitate in each of the districts until the day ap- pointed for presenting the People's Charter to parliament shall arrive, and then it is intended that the 70 or SO delegates to assemble in London from the Radical Association from all parts of the country shall be followed down to the houses of par- liament by one of the greatest assemblages of the working classes ever known in London. STATE OF IRELAND.—The recent and atrocious murder of Lord Norburv has given rise to much excitement in the public mind. The neighbouring magistrate and gentry are assembling, and the arrangements are in progress (o a re- quisition to Lord Ogmnntown, the Lieutenant of the County, to convene a meeting at Tulliiraore, in order to enter into a communication with the government on the alarming state of the county, and to open a subscription forn reward in some measure commensurate with the crL::e. The Earl of Charleville had been in attendance since Wednesday morning, and was indeftifjgnb'e in his efforts to hunt out the assasin. The latest accounts state that one man was in custody, against whom evidence of a somewhat decided nature has been elicited. There was not, it is universally admitted, a better or a kinder resident hmdlord in Ireland than Norburv. The press vary in t! eir accounts as to the probable cause of the act. One attributes it to a discarded tenant, and another to a poacher. Pilot' says, There aro some rumours of this act being acciden- tally done by poachers. '1 he old source of crime — the landlord exterminating war—has also been mentioned. This might account for, but not excuse, the crime. Wretches, driven by unfeeling landlords to a lingeriio- death, may be supposed to be so maddened as to imitate their superiors, and resort to revenge. But it is difficult to suppose that this actuated the attack on Lord Norbury, as "e have always heard of hira as an excellent landlord. What seems to gain most general credence, and to come in the most trustworthy form, is, that it was a crime com- mitted bv some steward or foreman, and had its origin in jealousy." The « Mail' truly enough observes that deeds like this, amongst other evils, are calculated greatly to in- jure the value of Irish property; and refers to the fact that in two cases the regociations for large English loans, at reduced rates of interest, were suddenly broke off by the agent representing the English parties in this country, in consequence of tins assassination. I. nfortunatel v the land- lords look too much to the value of Irish property to them- selves, and for the purpose of ''raisii.g the wind" they hulll to fictitious rents, the arrears it, the payment of which paralize all industry, and ultimately render the tenants little better 11:<ln outlaws. Orengejournalist further adds, that in his opinion, nothing short of suspending the constitution,onel putting the provisions of n,jr(ial law in force in the tUlILly of Tipperary, can restore Ireland to any thing like a position in -.vhich men's lifes can he safe, or their property secure. Vain delusion Insurrection acts and martial law never can accomplish the end in view. The experiment was long died in ripperary; anrJ, thanks to it, the Tinnerarv men have been rendered what they are — reckless and daring. -No, the relations of landlord and tenant must be thanked before the avenging spirit qn he cist cut. From evil it is idie to dream that good can fl/J

CARNARVON" AND DENBIGH I HERALD. SATURDAY, JANUARY, 12, 1339. s The recent attack made upon our Canadian ter- ritory from Detroit, and the subsequent contests at Sandvvich and Windsor are events which show- indeed the temper of the frontier Americans, but need no particular comment from us. They in- volve no further consequences than border war- fare usually bring-s with it; and the result will, we trust, in ease of any similar invasions, be, as in the present case, retributive to the aggressor. Too much importance has been attached to this affair by the news loving, news gorging portion of the press. The fact is, Windsor (a small Can- adian village facing Detroit, and consisting of houses straggling along the shore of the river of that name) and Sandwich (a small frontier town about two miles below Detroit) were the two points on which the American invaders about 250 in number commenced their absurd enterprse of revolt tionizing Canada. The result was their defeat and dispersion. That is the substance of the affair. It is thought by some of those deep searching lynx-eyed politicians that can see through millstones, that Van Buren, or at least the American government is at the bottom of all this, and that the object is to keep up a border warfare for the purpose of creating a war that must eventually lead to the loss of our Canadian possessions. Now, if this were so, of what good- natured simple goose like material must these sympathising or mason hunters be composed of, to march up to certain slaughter either on the field or on the gallows, for the purpose of extending the power and influence of America through Canada. Why the amor patrics of a Curtius is it seems in assiniue burlesque to be found in the follies of the border Americans. Away They are deceived enthusiasts—misled by the Canadian refugees tliey march blindly onward to certain ruin. Xhe letter from Van Sclioultz, the Polish or Rnssian general, and the statement of the prisoners generally prove pretty clearly the nature of the influences by which they have been victimized. We are happy to state that up to the date of our latest accounts all is quiet in Lower Canada. The gloomy anticipations so recently put forth in the columns of the Times,' (and elsewhere quoted by us in the present Herald,') are com- pletely falsified by the actual accounts of the Re- venue for the quarter ending on the 5th inst., so far from there being a deficiency, and the necessity for a loan to the tune of several millions, the ac- counts show that there is on the year, an increase of I ,075,'203l., and on the quarter an increase of 547,33 I l., as compared with the corresponding quarter of last year. The Times' must there- fore take another lesson or two in tli3 art of pro- phesying. The quarter increase is chiefly in the customs and the excise. The increase en the former item is 331,110/ and on the latter, 36,326l., but as a set off there is a decrease of 23,2771. in the stamp department. In the, other branches, there is no material alteration. On the whole, this is gratifying inasmuch as it proves that the Z7, 0 manufacturing interests of the country are in a state of more than average prosperity. This is Z!l doubtless attributable in great measure to the briskness of the American trade, but its effects must re-act more or less upon the home markets in every department. For the year the increase on the customs, is 328,445/ and on the excise 69,7761. This fact strengthens and confirms our remarks upon the quarter's in the same items. There is, more- over, on the year an increase on the stamps of no less than 180,774/. which proves that the decrease on the quarter in that item, uoes not arise from any commercial slackness, but from the mod3 in which the official returns are balanced. This year also exhibits an increase in the Post OiSce of 7,257/. but it is fair to slate (hit the decrease in that department for the last quarters exceeds the year's increase by more than half. This fact may serve to show that commercial houses are availing themselves of some other modes of man- aging business, and ought to be pleaded as an 0 1-1 additional argument in favor of a Post Office re- form. There is an increase on the miscellaneous of 16.01H. on the year, and 6,166l. on the quarter. The assessed taxes show a decrease of 22,9301. on the year, but an increase of 7,661l. on the quarter. We now pass to the most peculiar and deeply interesting feature of the present financial state- ment. The increase both for the year, and the quarter is swelled by a very important item, and one which did not formerly appear in the Revenue Accounts. We refer to the Crown-lands. Un- der this head we find on the quarter, an income of 40,000l., and on the year 170,000/,—no small sums when it is considered, that the de- partment is yet in an infantile condition. We trust to see its extension. That the public ex- penditure of the country should be defrayed, and of taxes levied chiefly upon the labouring and man- ufacturing classes, both in their capacities as pro- ducers, and consumers, is a gross anomoly in fiscal legislation, and one that cannot, be toofdeeply la- mented nor too largely reformed. The real and solid property of the country comes in for its share of the burden, why then should the crown-lands be permitted to remain exempt from the general obligation. As things stand between the crown and the country, the latter has a right to expect, that these lands should contribute their share to- wards the allevir iion of the public burden next to the customs. The most prominent item of increase, both on the year and the quarter, is that referred to un- der the head oi "Repayment." It amounts to 325,870l. for the year, and to 160,345l, for the quarter. It is estimated that the amount of Exchequer Bills, requisite for the service of the current quarter, will be 5,680,67?1.

The excitement consequent upon the arrest of the Rev. J. R. Stephens seems much abated, and chiefly confined to places within the Lancashire district. There have been public meetings of his partizans in Manchester, Bolton, Bradford, Ash- ton, and several other places; but nothing tran- spired that can lead a reflecting mind to anticipate any disturbances of the public peace. Notwith- standing the bungling' mannei in which the case was conducted against Mr. Stephens the mere fact of his having been pounced upon has struck a salutory terror into his confederates, and there have been fewer appeals to physical force in their subsequent meetings. Our account of the Bolton I., ZD meeting contains a staitling statement, made by a Mr. Deegan, to which the attention of the au- thorities ought immediately to he directed not for the purpose of punishing the individual, but for that of suppressing the cause of the statement vvhich he made. Notwithstanding the incredulity of the Morning Chronicle,' it is a matter of no- toriety that a work has recently been published recommending a system of infanticide aa the only means capable of arresting the increase of pauper population. It is, indeed, on the mere ipse dixit of iJi. Stephens, that we have heard the fabrica- mom tion of this infamous treatise attributed to one of the Poor Law Commissioners, but the fact of its having been published with impunity is amply sufficient to excite the most serious results at the present crisis and the Poor Law Commissioners ought, certainly, to disavow all connexion with its author. If they are seriously impressed with the idea that the Commissioners, or one of them, has actually put so base a project into circulation the animatlversons of Messrs. Stephens and Dee- gan need not be wondered at. At a time like the present the appearance of such a pamphlet is cal- culated to effect more real mischief than all the agitators can either perpetrate or hope for. We restrain ourselves from saying what we felt on reading in the Bangor Paper an article on The Church and Dissenters," written with the candour, fairness, and talent for which our con- temporary has ever been remarkable. We have the authority of many excellent and learned Dis- senters for believing that a man may have Ins own reasons for usmg a different mode of worship from that of an established church, without being an enemy to that church, feeling indeed assured that an established church may be still a vast blessing to a country." He then quotes the declaration, as he terms itr of two justly-celebrated men," Dr. Adam Clarko and the Rev. Robert Hall. We believe it was never doubted or denied that the former gentle" man always represented himself, with what con- sistency it is not for us to determine, as without any abatement, a thorough member of the Churc) of England." How far this was the case wit the latter we shall enable our readers to judg His mind was too upright and too enlighten not to give the good, of whatever denonnnatic the praise to which their piety and zeal entith, them. Hence the beautiful eulogium brought for ward by our contemporary. In justice to the established clergy of the realm, I cannot'* but remark the great advance which they have exhibited during the last half centu:y. They have gone forth in numbers re- kindling the lamp of heavenly truth, where it had burned with a dim and sickly ray. They have explored and cultivated many a neglected spot, into which other labourers coulclllot, for obvious reasons, gain admission with equal facilities of in- fluence. And far be it from any of their Dissenting brethren to regard their success with any other than a holy jealousy, a godly emulation." This is language which bespeaks a deep con- cern for the interests of religion but what co- lour of pretence is there for imagining that the writer was enamoured of an Established Church, or for asserting that he deemed it a vast bless- ing to a country ?" Mr. Hall, however, shall speak for himself. Wherever, as in England, religion is established by law with splendid emoluments 1111(1 dignities, annexed to its profes- sion, the clergy, who are candidates for these distinctions, will ever be prone to exalt the prerogative, not only in order to strengthen the arm on which they lean, but that they may the more successfully ingratiate themselves in the favour of the Prince, by flattering those ambitious views and passions which are too readily entertained by persons possessed of supreme power. The boasted alliance between church and state, on which so many encomiums have been lavished, seems to have been little more than a compact between the priest and the lDll- gistrate, to betray the liberties of mankind, both civil and religious. To this the clergy on their part at least have con- tinueil steady, shunning enquiry, fearful of change, blind to the corruptions of government, skilful to discern the signs of the times, and eager to improve every opportunity, and to em- ploy all their art and eloquence to extend the prerogative, and smooth the approaches of arbitrary power. Individuals are illustrious exceptions to this censure; it however applies to the body, to none more than to those whose exalted rank and extensive influence determine its complexion and spirit. In this situation, the leaders of that church, in their fatal attempt to recommend and embellish a slavish system of principles, will, I trust, be ever carefully watched and opposed by those who liolit similar station amongst the Dissenters; that, at all events, there may remain one asylum to which insulted freedom may retire unmolested.—Mr. Hall's Christianity consistent with the Love of Freedompp. 29, 30. Again— On the abuses in the Church, it is to little purpose to expa- tiate, as they are too nnmeroys to be detailed, and too inveterate to be corrected. Unless it be a maxim that honesty will endanger her existence, her creeds ought in all reason to cor- respond with the sentiments of her members. The world, it is to be feared, will be little edified by the example of a Church, which in compelling its ministers to subscribe opinions that few of them believe, is a discipline of fraud."—Mr. Hall's "Apology for the Freedom of the Press and General Liberty," p. 100. It has been pretended that those were Mr. Hall's early and crude opinions, and that in the maturity of his judgment he looked back upon L them with regret and shame. Let his own testi- mony on this subject, also, be heard. In the Advertisement to the new edition of his "Apology for the Freedom of the Press," published in 1822, a short time before his lamented death, he observes- It has been often insinuated, that my political principles have undergone a revolution, and that I have renounced the opinions which it was the object of this pamphlet to establish. I must beg leave, however, to assert, that fashionable as su: h changes have been, and sanctioned by many conspicuous ex- amples, I am not ambitious of the honour attached to this species of conversion, from a conviction that lie who has once been the advocate of freedom and of reform, will find it much easier to change his conduct than his principles—to worship- the golden image, than to believe in the divinity of the idol." The effect of increasing years has been to augment, if possible, my attachment to the principles of civil and religious liberty, and to the cause of reform as inseparably combined with their preservation and few things would give nie more uneasiness, than to have it supposed I could ever become hostile or indifferent to these objects." "For the severity, (he adds) with which the writer has treated the political character of Mr. Pitt, he is not disposed to apolo- gise, because he feels the fullest conviction that the policy, foreign and domestic, of that celebrated statesman, has inflicted a more incurable wound on the constitution, and entailed more permanent and irreparable calamities on the nation, than that of any other minister in the annals of British history. A simple reflection will be sufltcient to evince the unparalleled magnitude of his apostacy, which is, that the memory of the- Son of Lord Chatham, the vehementopposer, of the American war, the champion of Reform, and the idol of the people, has become the rallying point of toryism, the type and symbol of whatever is most illiberal in principle, and intolerant in, practice." Such are the recorded feelings with which. Mr. Hall looked upon the hierarchy and its sup- porters, and yet there was no elevation in it to which he might not have risen had he thought fit to conform—" to set his foot on the ladder of promotion," to use the cant of the pulpit," and to skulk,—these are his own expressions- behind a consecrated altar."

PWLLUELI.- The Calvinistic Methodistaheld their Monthly- meeting at Pwllheli, on Monday evening and Tuesday the 7th and 8th inst. The preachers on this occasion were Messrs. H. Roberts, of Bangor, W. Pierce, of Holywell, O. Thomas, of Eangor, John Jones, of Talysarn, W. Lloyd, of Carnarvon, Daniel Jones, of Llandegai, and G. Jones, of Melinhen. MINING ACCIDENTS.—A severe accident occurred at the Milior mine on Tuesday morning last, as a poor miner, was going down the ladders of the mine, to look at the work previ- ous to taking a bargain, when about half-way down he mistook the turnings, and walked into the shaft in which they were winding ore, he came in contact with the bucket, and was killcd immediately, he has left a widow, and three young children. There was also a poor fellow killed in the level mine Co. on Friday evening last, by some large stones falling on him, when in the lower workings, he has left, a widowed and infirm mo- ther, by whom his loss will be keenly felt. Wre have inserted Mr. Stephenson's report on the test line of railway between London and Dublin, in order to add emphasis to our previously avowed conviction that the North Wales pro- prietory ought to meet for the purpose of enforcing upon the notice of government the necessity of immediately adopting some line of route connecting the two capitals via a line of rail- I way through North Wales. The route and terminus, although t important questions, are certainly subsidiary to the main ob- ject—that of effecting the safest, speediest, and the best com- munication between the two countries. At such public meetings the merits of the several proposed lines could be adequately discussed. We shall advert to this topic in our next. -v v The many melancholy accidents which has recently happened, in steanuvessels, have, we understand, induccd the G overturn nt to institute an inquiry on the subject, with a view to prevent their recurrence. The rapidly-increasing traffic by steam na- vigation renders such a step imperatively necessary, and wg belio'e that several foreign states have already taken the lead of us in adopting measures for this purpose. An Act of Con- gress of the United States of America was passed in July last, providing for the better security of the lives of passengers on board of vessels propelled, in whole or in part, by steam and in France regulation* for the saine object have been estab- j ibhed.

Xatest Intelligence. NN- r- S T INr) I Es.- Despatches have been received at the Colonial Office, from Jamaica, up to the 3rd ult. The elections which were rendered necessary by the dissolu- tion of the Assembly had terminated, but in a way by no means likely to advance the public business the members of the present being yet more opposed to the measures of the Imperial Parliament than the former. Many of the planters had, we regret to say, proceeded to the summary ejectment of the black labourers from their cottages and little plots of ground, in order to compel them to la'ooii. :.t the wages they had fixed, and which the negroes had refused. Notwithstanding, this harsh and brutal conduct the negroes continue peaceable, and there is no fear of any actual outbreak taking place on their part. The stipendary magistrates have now an arduous duty to per form Jo deciding the complaints between the Negroes and the proprietors. Some Negroes rc. fuse to pay rent for their houses; others offer to pay rent, but refuse to work for their landlords, preferring to seek higher wages elsewhere the planters appear to be greatly exasper- ated, but it is admitted that the Negroes are willing to abide by the decision of the magistrates in all cases. These emanci- pated slaves are beginning to demand an extension of the elec- tive franchise and other privileges, to place them on an equality with their neighbours. They were about to hold county and parochial meetings to petition Parliament to pass just and equitable laws for the government of the colony, knowing that the Jamaica House of Assembly would not listen to their demands. The Russian Agents having purchased at Newcastle three ships, completely titted for the transport service, came to Sun- derland during the week, and succeeded in buying two vetsels for the same purpose They are going to Manchester in order to purchase muskets, bayonets, &c.—.Sujiderhiid Bcacun. We learn from Sydney that, on the 18th of August, the Alligator and two other ships of war were completing their fittings for an expedition to establish a settlement at Port K;«ington, to the northward of the coast. Attention has long been directed to this part of our fifth continent, not only on account of its adaptation for the cultivation of cotton and other articles of tropical produce, but from its highly favourable position for carrying on a commercial intercourse with the eastern part of the Indian Archipelago. The Alligator, it was stated, would remain on that station about 18 months, to pro- tect the new settlement. Port Essington is represented to be peculiarly adapted for a military and naval station, to protect the commercial intercourse, with the adjacent islands and China; j and it has long attracted the attention of the British Govern- ment.
