A teleraphic summary of the following appeared in the Laress of yesterday The llntish and North American Royal Mail steamer Cambria, Capt. Leitch, arrived at Liverpool yesterday morning at 9 o'clock. She left Boston on the .6th, at 12.20, and proceeded to Halifax, whence she took her departure at 2.60 on the 28th, and took a pilot at 4.3. i this morning. She has, therefore, made the whole voyage in about 11 days 16 hours, includ ing the calling and delay at Halifax. The Cambria brought 23 passengers and 607,800 dollars in specie. 'the last part of the mail from New York, by some accident, did not arrive up to the departure of the Cambria--a circumstance that will be of great importance to commercial men. The usual telegraphic despatch also from New York to Halifax, had foiled to reach in timo for the Cambria. The Asia (Judkins) arrived at Halifax on the 24th 1 at a.m., and at Balton on the 23th at 4 p.m., being a passage of 10 days 8 hours and 20 minutes. fhc cause of the detention of a part of the New York mail was no doubt a revere snowstorm, with very tem pestuous weather, which prevailed on the night of the 23th, during which we regret to record that a boat belonging to the H. M. steamer Asia, which had arrived that afternoon, was capsized, on her return from a visit to the Cambria, and four of the hands (two of them married men, .belonging to Liverpool) were unfortunately drowned. Accounts from Washington say that the meeting of Congress is now looked forward to with the live liest interest. The departments and bureaus are all' activity in placing their reports and business in shape ; and the President's message will claim un4 usual attention from the variety of interesting topics it must of necessity embrace, and upon which the public have been kept in ignorance. Henry Clay has arrived from the west. His friends openly declare him a candidate for the Presi dency. .t wriotts outrage had been committed at Lincoln. ton, North C arol ina, at the Marion Court. It appears that Col. W. W. Avery, in an un armed and defenceless condition, was passing from the Court-house to his room, after an arduous dis charge of duty to his client, in the case then pend ing, wherein Fleming was a party, he was attacked by samuel Fleming, who, having armed himself, used a cowhide, which he had secreted about his person. In Morgantown, in the same neighbourhood, • few days when Judge Battle had taken his seat . aft - erwards, ...st on the bench, in the afternoon session, Yleming, fully armed, walled within the bar of the court, appearin g in Col. Avery's presence for the first time since the attack with the cowhide; whereupon the latter rose and shot Fle dead on the spot. The ball, it i s thought, passed n through his heart. Col. I nsley at once placed himself in the custody of the Fl!pw officer, with a view to &judicial investigation. 11 .7 telegraph from New Orleans, dated the ;24th ult., we learn the arrival of the Empire City et i tbat city from Havana, bringing 585 pamen rrc mostly returned Californians.

The folly of this conduct i s in striking contrast with the tact displ a yed by Avalos. Had he not taken the course which is now so bitterly denounced by many of the Mexican papers, he would not have been able to rally a single man to the standard of the govern ment; and Caravajel, instead of meeting' a deter mined resistance at Matamoros, would probably have entered the place in triumph without being com pelled to waste an ounce of powder. That officer RiMoCII was the first to complain of Avalos for taking off the prohibitions, on the ground that it alienated from him the support of the people of Matamoros. By the following, it will be seen that the insurrec tion has extended mto the state of Vera Craz, and that there are premonitions of a rising in the state of Puebla. The Trait cr Vision says : Cordova ham also seat forth its pronunchunento. The objects of the movement are not very definitely set forth, but the declaration is appended to a proclamation, the pur pose of which, according to some, is to separate the depart ments of Orizaba and Cordova. Others, however, say that the project is to favour the plan of Ceravejal. The fact is that thy/ who have pronounced are commanded by Captain Manuel 00111 AZ &traria, and by a retired Lieutenant-Colonel Felipe Romirs, who on the 22nd October shut themselves up in the convent of St. Augus tin, and there raised the standard of rebellion. In this position they held a parley with the Ayuntemiento, of whom they demanded the reinstatement of the political chief and the chief justice of the department. The Ayuntamiento feigned to sympathise with them. The insurgents not being strong enough in numbers to leave their position, the authonties of Cordova found time to address them at Orizaba city, who at once sent them three hundred men of the National Guards, who reached Cor dova on the evening of the 23rd. The rebels, having heard of the arrival of this reinforcement, fled and took refuge in the hacienda of Portrero, but not without the following prisoners being taken, viz., Capt. Gomez Saravia, the Regidor Juan Gomez ' • a Spaniard, named Juan Trueba, and two other individuals whose names are net given. On the 27th Oct., at midnight, a body of the National Cluerds pursued the rebels to the hacienda of Portrero. Having arrived at the hacienda, this force, which was divided into two detachments, became the victim of a fatal error. One of the detachments took the other for the enemy. They fired upon each other. One of the guards fell mortally wounded, and three other were more or less grievously wounded. They discovered their error at last. The de tachments re-united, and dispersed the rebels in every direction. It does not appear that the disturbance stopped here. The Fray Fok'e of the 3rd ult. says : According to reports ,f we have received, d the guerilla party of c c a o v m alz te a l n y d ais '; e anivy, reed by a detachment y of th m e e u ni a! timid guard of Ormabos, who sallied out from Cordova un der the Commandants, Clement Lopez, in pursuit of the _ _ party. By one of theie misfortunes'wliich always happen or such occasion we have to report the death of a corpo ral of lancers, and the wounding of five others, amongst whom is Second-Lieutenant Francisco Mino, of the lancers, who behaved bravely. The enemy abandoned their arms, their papers and munitions, but we do not know what leas they sustained in men. munication will probably soon be established be tween Demerara, Essequibo, and Berbice. The Royal Gaulle says : In agricultural matters there is nothing new to report. The planters are getting in their crops as fast u they can, and looking forward with hope to the early arrival of im migrants from the east. Without deciding on what is the best:kind of immigrant labour, we may safely assert that the very existence of this colony u an exporting country depends on the continuance of immigration of some kind. The weather has been most favourable, and there is every reason to hope, as the fertility of our soil continues oath minished, that with a steady supply of appropriate agri cultural labour, the colony will regain, before long, the position she once occupied as a prosperous and productive dependency of the Britisn crown. The shipping in port is loading rapidly, and all in activity in the Demerara river. IX TRINIDAD the weather was settled and fair, and the sugar and cocoa estates were expected shortly to commence their respective crops. It was appre hended that the next sugar crop would fall something short of that of 1831. A Spanish vessel was loading at Port of Spain, and some activity had thereby been given to the cocoa market. The best quality of that article was selling at from 5 dollars to 5 dole. 50c.1 per fanega. The mind of the public was engrossed by certain statements made by the Trinidadian, that instruments of torture were used in the royal gaol. In the Legislative Council two reports had been brought up relating to immigration from America and China, and Mr. Lath was to move for the intro duction of 400 Chinese labourers at the expense of the colony. A committee to report upon some con templated improvements in the law was named. The Insolvent Debtors' Ordinance had occupied the at- tention of the Council. ANTIGUA experienced a shock of an earthquake of unusual severity and duration on the let of Novem ber, but with no material damage or loss of life. The Grenada Free Press of the 29th of October, states that a resolution had passed the House of As sembly to grant a salary to the Speaker. The sum required for the supply service of the colony during the ensuing year is 16,0001. The weather was fa vourable for the estates generally, but the want of labour was severely felt. The ensuing crop is, never theless, expected to be equal to the last. The island was not healthy. We have files of papers front Martinique of the latest dates. M. Biretta, the representative of Mar tinique in the Legislative Assembly of France, was expected to return to the island in the steamer duo there on the 22nd Nov. front England. A decree of the French President is printed in the journals, withdrawing from Admiral Vaillant the title (conferred in April last) of " Governor-General of the Antilles," and thus leaving him charged only with the government of the island of Martinique, and with the command of the naval station of the West Indies and Gulf of Mexico. The same decree appoints M. Aubry Bailleul, a captain in the navy, to succeed Colonel Fieron as Governor of Guadaloupe. The new governor was to sail from Brest on the 4th of November, on board of the frigate Galatia. In French Guiana the yellow fever, which had caused a fearful loss of li .e among the inhabitants, had ceased its ravages. In St. Lucia the weather continued favourable to agriculture, and the canes throughout the island were beautiful and promising. The Barbadoes journals are principally occupied in discussing the routes for the projected new inland post, which will be of great benefit to the colony. From Tortola the governor was about to despatch a responsible agent to Porto Rico and Cuba, for the purpose of identifying and claiming several British subjects (natives of the Virgin Islands) supposed to be held in slavery in those colonies. A bill had paned in the legislature, by laying a tax of 3s. on all the mules in the island, to raise the funds neces sary for defraying the expenses of this mission. The executive had dissolved the House of Assembly, and new elections were to take place. The Dominican papers announce considerable de falcations in the treasury department of that island. For Jamaica markets see last page.

OPTIONAL PAYMENT OF LETTERS FOR SARDINIA. --General Peet-office, November,lB.sl.—As the regulations, announced in Jute last, with respect to the optional pay ment of the postage on letters addressed to Sardinia, appear to be not generally known, it has become necessary to give further notion that letters for Sardinia mav now be for warded by way of France, either unpaid or wholly paid to destination, at the following rates of postage, via.: 1 Weighty.

EXPULSION OF THE CORRESPONDENT OF THE DAILY NEWS FROM GERMANY. HAMBURG, Die. 7. When I communicated the fact of my expulsion from Berlin on Monday last, I most certainly anticipated that it would be instantly with drawn, and that I should receive permission to return without delay. I could not believe that the Prussian Minister for Foreign Affairs, Baron Manteuffel, who has not disdained to hold communication with your correspondent, would sanction the odious measures that had been taken against me without some further grounds than the mere "police considerations" which had been as signed. In the conviction of perfect innocence of all and every offence, I calmly awaited the just and reasonable award of Baron Manteuffel, more espe cially as I received a letter from Mr. Howard, the British charge . d'affaires, stating that he had applied to that minister in the firm and decided manner Buchan occasion rqaired. I was doomed to be:ridiculously diappointe and justly so, for, in my sanguine ex pectations, I forgot entirely to what absurd lengths a Prussian president of police is capable of carrying his ignorance and malice. On the third day after my arrival in Hamburg, I received a second letter from Mr. Howard, from which I quote the main passage. He states, that Baron Manteuffel, in his reply to the application, in forms him " that you have been recognised as one of those dangerous persons launched upon the continent by the committee of revolutionistsof all nations, sitting in London in order to propagate their subversive doc trines, and that the measure has received the full sanc tion of the minister." Under these circumstances I shall naturally not remain an hour longer in Germany than will be absolutely indispensable. Such an accusation hanging over my head, however unfounded, is sufficient to procure my arrest and ex pulsion, even in the free city of Hamburg. Perhaps our energetic foreign minister, Lord Palmerston, may be able to insinuate a little more common sense into the noddles of the autocrat police of Germany, or at least to prevent in future English subjects from being deprived of their liberty on un just or unfounded charges. WEST INDIA MAIL. The mail brought to Southampton yesterday by the Dee, contains little intelligence of much import. At Grey Town, as we are informed by a letter dated Nov. 5, a number of Americans (about 600) had arrived from San Francisco] with no: convey ance to take them to the States. The small steamer that runs on the Lake Nicaragua, on coming down the river to the rapids, approached too near before turning, and came down stern first over the rapids ; ten or .twelve persons are reported to have been droned, having in their fright jumped overboard. Pliaragua and all posts of the interior are tranquil. The route from California by the Lake Nicaragua has been adopted by moat of the Americans returning. The report of their privations and difficulties, how ever, is sufficient to deter others from following the route. There is little doubt, when the railroad from Navy Bay is completed, that the Nicaraguan route will ho abandoned. 150 Americans embarked on board the Dee for Chafrres, hoping to 'find some con ' veyanee thence to the States. Provisions are scarcely be be had, these sodden influxes of adventurers Baking great havoc on the small supplies sent t Grey Town. From Chagres"we learn, by a letter dated Nov. 10, that the late disturbance at that place between the boatmen of the old town, or Indian aide of the rime, and the American boatmen, the latter wishing to monopolise the whole traffic, has caused great ex citement, and though hostilities have ceased on either side, it is feared this is but a temporary lull. The Governor of Panama has been down, and par poles garrisoning Fort Lorenzo, so that, should a disturbance again break out, there is but little doubt, from the superior and formidable position of this port, that the newly-erected town of the Americans will be completely destroyed, and emay inhabitant killed or banished. The natives, It is said, will stop at nothing when once blood is ebaL The difficulty in quelling the disturbance wu great. The natives will listen to none but the British, and it is here stated that, but for the timely interposition of the commander of one of the royal mail steamers, the matter would have ended only in the exter mination of one side of the belligerents, or, at least, in considerable bloodshed. The Panama railroad is now rapidly . progressing ; it is now half a mile beyond &teen, nine miles from the terminus in the bay of Simon ; seven miles are made, but not continuously, leaving thirtcn miles to be finished to Bartmesess, where the Chagres river is to be bridged; bat until that can be accomplished the river will be ferried by boats from the point of Corsito to Barba cases, and on to Gorgona to Panama is twenty miles. The most difficult and expensive part of the line is done. It will be completed to Barbacases about next August, and to Gorgona by about the following May, and Panama by about July, in two dry seasons from the time they break the ground. The line will be w og and substantial, according to the system of rail Item structure, in the opinion of several eminent en gineers who have visited it. The fillings are of red day; it is well drained, and the heavy rains of the present season have not in the least damaged it. JAMAICA.

Steam oom- THE E.: CLUB CATTLE SHOW. The return of Christmas is as surely indicated by the red-lettered placards of the annual metropolitan exhi bition of fat stock, as by the calendar ; and certainly not the least interesting duty of the ,journalist at that festive season is to record the merits of the various specimens of animal adiposity submitted to the London appetite. Since the commeacemeat of the Smithfield Club, many circum stances in connexion with the onward march of civilisation have tended year by year to increase the interest attaching to its operations. Not the least important amongst those social changes has been the establishment of railways, by means of which a complete revolution has been effected in the live meat trade. The old-fashioned practice of putting fat on to cattle in the rich grazing grounds of the Midland and Eastern Counties, to be taken off again by the hard drive into the London market, has been super seded, and we have now the stock brought to the hands of our butchers, in as fine order as when they left the stall or the grass land. The show of the present year (to which we were admitted to a private view last evening) is a strikins'exemplification of the advantage of this change. The various animals, not withetaading their high feeding and their very recent change of quarters, exhibit as much ease and comfort, and presented as sleek an appearance, as though they had never bun disturbed from their feeding-sheds. The space allot ted to the exhibition of the present year has been much in creased, as compared with fOrmer years. By an addition to the area of the cattle-shed the whole of the beasts arc brought together, and the visitor is enabled to pass from the one class to tho other—from Herefords to Herons, Demons to short-horns, and so on—and judge of their rela tive Merits without having his attention diverted, bang compelled to wend his wa through of pig and sheep pens. Under the WSW filantgamient each description of animals is brought Irselbar by itself, and viewed at once—a change which must base isabd as muck to the convenience of the judges in awarding the prizes, as it does to the sight-seeing public. IThe additional facilities thus given, and which probably re sults from the over-crowded show of 1850, do not appear to have been taken full advantage of by the exhibitors, for anything there is rather a smaller number of ani mals shown in the present year as compared with the last. In the quality, however, there is no falling off, but on the con trary a decided improvement. The number of over fat animals is smaller than in any previous year, but the n points" of high breeding are in almost every in stance apparent. Amongst the cattle the Herefords are sere than usually fine, the gainer of the chief prize of 301. in Class 1, being, perhaps, ouo of the most remarkable ani mals foe symmetry, combined with great bulk and fineness of limb, ever seen. Mr. Heath, the feeder and exhibitor of this ox, carried away the first prize last year with a two year and ten months old Hereford. The second prize 416 sovereigns, in the same class, Mr. W. H. Bicknell takes for a very beautifully compact little short-horned steer, about which the judges could have had but small difficulty in deciding, the abort horns generally being, with some few honourable exceptions, not of so high a standard as we have seen at previous shows. In the same class Prince Albert takes the third prize of 5 sovs. fora 4year and 10 months old Hereford ox, which, though ethic animal hos, as would appear to the uninitiated, many equals amongst these which have been less successful. In the second class, also, a Hereford carried off the chief prize, and with good reason, for a more perfect animal in every respect than Mr. Longmore's 3 year and 8 months old steer is not in the exhibition. In Class 3, Prince Albert secures the second prize of 151. for a 2 year and 10 months old Hereford ox, which is decidedly the best animal his royal highness has at the show. In this class the Earl of Derby exhibits, as executor to the late earl, a somewhat curious animal—a cross between a Brahmin and a short-horned ox. In ap pearance it resembles in some degree a huge deer, being exceedingly light and blood-like in shape, and somewhat wild is its aspect. As a specimen, it would scarcely be in favour with the butcher, from its deficiency in flesh as compared with our own pure breeds or crosses. Amongst the Devons, the Earl of Leicester exhibits a 1 year and 1 month old pure North Devon ox, which takes (and most deservedly) the first prise in clam 4, a 3 year and 8 month ox, of the same breed, which is equally successful with the first prize in clan 6, and with equal merit. Mr. Bond has a very beautifully made little Devon steer in class .5, which has not obtained a prize; and one of not finer proportions, but of something larger size, which takes a prize of .51. For Scotch, Welsh , and Irish cattle, which arc classed together, Mr. kinderly takes the first prize of 101. for a4i year old Pembrokeshire ox. There is in this class a perfectly pure Highland ox (almost the only one in the exhibition), whose wild, shaggy, dim coat, rough mane, long horns, and restless eye contrast amusingly enough with the quiet, lazy, sleek appearance of his more southern companions. ;Amongst the cows, of which there is a fair average number exhibited, the only feature for remark is the heavy weight they have bean made by judicious feeding to attain, and the profit which they will thus bring to both feeder and butcher. The short-horn which carries off the first prize in class 9 strikes us as over fat, and this probably is almost the only animal in the exhibition to which the same obser vation would apply. In the class for extra stock is a three year and ten months' old Hereford ox (belonging to Kr. William Heath, the successful competitor in the first clue), removed from class 4 inconsequence of over-weight, which obtains a silver medal to the breeder. This is one of the finest animals in the show, and but for its extra weieht would no doubt have taken the first prize in the class for which it was originally entered. In the classes for sheep there are some beautiful pens of Downs, Lcicesters, and cross breeds, the most successful exhibitors being the Duke of Richmond and Mr.Sainabury for Southdown, Mr. Brad shaw and Mr. Willmore for Leicester', and Mr. Overman for cross-breds. Prince Albert exhibited a pen of very fine Southdown wethers, and Mr. Shelly and several other con stant contributors to the show have some beautiful sheep of the several breeds, quite up to the standard of success in years gene by, but hardly equal to that which the competi tion of free trade has rendered necessary, and which, judg ing from results, none know better how to meet than his Grace of Richmond. the great champion of protection. In pigs there is the usual amount of superabundance of fat, accompanied with an almost total loss of the moving power of the animal. Whethee the most profitable way of feed log hogs is to fit them for the melting pot the farmer must be the best judge, but unless the food costs nothing we should be induced to doubt the soundness of the practice. Amongst the very few visitors admitted to the private view we observed the Marquis of Exeter and the Earl of St. Ger mans, both of whom appeared to take great interest in the stock, a portion of which has been contributed by the I former.

Yesterday was the day appointed by Lord John Russell to receive the deputation of merchants, bankers, upon the subject of the customs' laws. A large number of gentlemen assembled at the Treasury at the appointed time, when the following letter was presented to them, and much disappointment was expressed in consequence: "Downing-street, 6th Dee., 1851. Sir,—l am desired by Lord John Russell to say that he will be prevented from receiving the deputation of merchants, bakers, &c., at 1 o'clock on Monday next as originally fixed; but that he will be happy to receive them at the same hour on Tuesday next, the 9th inst. Will you have the goodness to communicate this to the gentlemen who arc to form the deputation. I have the honour to be, Sir, pour obedient servant, WILLIAM Law.—John Master man, Esq., M.P. SIR JOHN FRANKLIN'S EXPEDITION. At the meeting of the Geographical Society yes terday evening, the following interesting communication in reference to the missing ships in the Arctic Seas was I read - • " l'ulmurr, Aberdeen, Dee. 3, 1831. " Sir,—l beg to lay before you, and the scientific body to which you belong, a few observations which came under my notice during my late voyage in search of Sir John Frank lin, which I consider of great importance at the present critical moment. " On the 25th of August, 1850, having joined Captain Ommanney, on the west side of Wellington Channel, and seen the traces found by him of the missing ships, I con sidered it my proper course to return to the eastern shore of the channel, with the view of examining those parts more closely than had been done before. " The result of my return was most satisfactory, for not until then were the winter quarters of the misting ships discovered ; and, ,what is of still more importance in m estimation as regards the route of the missing ship, a watch tent upon a height about four miles north and west from the posititn occupied by the ships. This tent was evidently for the purpose of watching every move of the ice in Wal lington-channel. We also saw the ruts of sledges going and returning from making observations upon the channel, and in the tent we fount, a small piece of paper with the words, "to be called." The other part of which must have been torn off, thus evidently showing that a regular watch had been kept. t. On the sth of September, 1850, from the top of Ca pe Spencer, a height of at least 730 feet, open water was ob- Served beyond the fixed Ice in the channel. The strong easterly gales which we experienced some time previous to the above date, had counteracted the prevaihng current from the westward, and had driven the ice thruigh Queen Victoria Channel into the Antic Basin. On the 7th of September • strong northerly gale Dwight away fifteen mites of ice down Wellington Chan nel, having only about fifteen miles of ice between the two seas. " Having commenced our travelling on the 13th of April, 1851, I came upon water acid decayed ice en the 15th or May, in the channel between Cornwallis Land and Balk Hamilton Island, obliging me to return to the east of the said island, and then to the north. We gained Point Shy prise, in lat. 78 deg. 2 min., lon. 95 dig. 56 min. The water washed the point at my feet, and extended 25 miles west. The sky indicated water to the north round Dendas Island. The moment I stood upon Point Surpriee with a fall view to the west, I exclaimed, ' Through this channel Sir John Franklin has gone In clear water. Oh, for a boat.' With this conviction on my mind, I returned with the de termination to use every exertion to get a boat up to this water. - . . O'n the 29th of the same month, Messrs. Cloodair and Marshall, advancing with their party along the shore of Cornwallis Land, were forced to return for water with still thirty days' provision upon their sledges. " Again, on the 31st May, Capt. Stewart ha vi g advanced as far as Cap* Becher by the east side of the Channel and along Albert Land came to water, and from a height of 700 feet found nothing but open sailing ice as far as the eye could react, to the west and north-west. "Oa the 6th of June a boat was fully equipped, and a j commenced for Victoria Channel. Some of the party Laving 'rely returned Si hours from a journey of 31 daayrs Oa the 17th of the lame month the boat was lwehed into the water in long. 96 west, and continued te sentend for 33 days with adverse winds and rapid tides, which brought the drifting toe in such quantities to the eseterard as to block up the various channels between the ▪ leaving an open sea beyond, men trent the top of ▪ Hamilton's Island. My Wont exertions were so bosspersd, that only 210 miles of bleed one were exa aimed b the boat party; but had a ezeni ernaterly wind pesysi for only a• short time, so as to counteract the Sala of the westerly current, what might have not been ism even with that small boat t _ _ .

Whereas the following sentence—referring to the al leged practice of managers of schools in union with the National Society in abstaining from teaching, and giving instruction in, the Catechism of the Church of England, all scholar, admitted into such schools—it found in the re. port of Joseph Fletcher, Esq., her Majesty's Inspector al Schools. "Ifl am rightly informed, the practice of et least half of the National Schools is to respect the &diem of dissenters in this particular • so strongly does the moral sense protest against the fund amental rule of their units which refuses to do so ; and as the real interests of the church are on the aide of the more liberal course, I would fain persuade myself that a majority of her clergy will avow, as well as practise it, and thus enter upon • new era in our history, that of the established sehooL" And whereas the Lord Bishop of Manchester, in • weed delivered at a meeting of the promoters of the Manchester and Salford education scheme, held at Manchester, Decem ber 2nd, 1851, has used the following language ; " My grit for years has been both openly and privately expressed that the chartertiLthe National Society has been imposing ea the great of the clergy, of the community, of the law dom. condMos the must degrading, and a situation the most humiliating. It has made its first term of union awl condition, that the children in the schools shall learn the Catechism of the Church of England. Now, I believe, maintain, defend tie Catechism ; but I will sk my re verend brethren molted me, and in the diocese not only d Manchester but in the whole of England, in how many d these schools has not that article of union been taken out first, and in how many of these schools is it not, at the present moment, deliberately and systematically violated.? So far from contravening the charter of the National Society, I have ever regretted, and I still regret, that • charter so ill advised in wording was ever issued by the crown; and I have sought, and seek to call on you to-night, to aid with us in carrying the measure from a higher authority, the ' three estates of the legislature of this kingdom, which shall override and overturn the conditions of that charter, at release the clergy of England at large from this most im proper and unworthy thraldom." And whereas the par tite herein publicly imputed to manager, of schools in union with the National Society is a departure from the pair ciples of the charter, and • violation of the terms of unmet This meeting hereby respectfully requests the committee— in whom the government of the society is vested by charter —to make public declaration that it is not with the sanction and approval of the committee that such practice is pur sued in any case by managers of • school in union with the National Society. 2.
