The wreck of this find steamer end the Awful low of life ecisse - auent as it, has occasioned a painful devise of excitement in this place. Intelligence of the catastrophe only reached the authorities about noon on Sunday last, though the wreck to:4 place at 11 o'clock ea the preceding night, within 13 miles of the harbour. It now appears that the signals of distress fired from on board the unfortunate ship were observed by the coast-guard men attached t t the Westgate station, about one mile westward from this town on the cliffs. As they were repeated only two or three times, however, the men did nit give any alarm to the pilot boats, and the signals nut being observed from the port heed or harbour, no boats pat off daring tie night. YestarJay zeorning,abeet halt past seven o'clock, &signal pm was fired from the Tongue lightship. Toe signal was not re peated, but then was something sufficiently unusual in the eircumstaser of its being fired at all to induce the crew of the tugger cell.d the Nano, ender the command of William Perlur, to pot off with the view of satertsi-ing what was required. The Nelson left the harbour shortly after 8 o'clock, and bore towards the Tongue Sand. Oa nearing the lightship they 'knelled tier crew, who inquired whether they had come out in cumquat.* of having heard a gun fired ? The crew of the Nelson said thi y had, and asked what was the matter ? The esptain of the lightship said they feared a large steamboat had gone inhere to the Tongue Sand, about three miles off. Parker asked wha• time this had Iss;pened. The captain said the steamer pawed the lightship about a quitter to 11 o'clock on the previous eight, and in about twenty minutes afterwards they observed signals of distress fired from a vessel on the track she had taken. Parker asked the captain why they had Lot fired before. The captain replied that they only observed the signals two or three times, and, as they heard and saw no store, they were and , r the impression that the ship had merely grounded and got off again. Shortly after daybreak, however, at low water, they saw the hall of a large paddle box steamer on the sande, and they then fired the signal gun which had attracted attention on shore. The Nelson, with her gallant crew, bore down in the di etetics pointed out, but as the wreck was not then visible, they were at that time linable to make any observations as to her precise ptaitioa. Taey continued is the neiehbour hood of the mead, however, sad in the course of the after. noon picked up the bodies of two persons which were found flutists, the out is the Sleek Deep," about four miles 'roes the Tows light-skip, and the other oa the Oirdler Said. Tbseeloeics were brought on shore yesierdey, and .re these armies.. y described in your previous impre sion u bevies Deere wished ashore. About 9 Velrek on Sunday morning one of the preventive service men came down to the fterhead (it to ion then low water), sad mid that a portion of the wre-k of a large ship was visible from the cid:, about 15 miles (Leant on the Tongue Sand. The fact of a serious wreck having telt, n place was alsoanimism d by a Deal boatman, who came into Mareate daring the morning and repulsd heelers spoken a steamer (the Malcolm Briwo) that had seen the wreck upon the sande. This was quite euttitient to put all the boatmen b busing to this port In a state of great activity, and •• fore evening steady 20 sail of tuggers, having at least 100 men on board, left the harbour for the Tongue Send. I. consequeacs of the heavy sea running, and the extreme danger of jetties on the sand In this pert of the Channel, nothing was done by any of the boats on Sunday evening, but all cf them remained near tle spot during the night. The identity of the ill-fated vestel has been proved beyond doubt, one of the boat's crew bevies picked up a sisnal lan tira brasier the name of the Royal 'Adelaide, of Duhlin," yesterday monies. Mr. Frezin, the owner of a pilot-boat and lugger belong lag to tkM, port, who had gone out on the previous night, le tensed into port, and bad an inn retry . with Mr. W. It. Voider, the rerresontative of Mr. Hatantoftd. Lloyd'. agent, at this port. Mr. Frewinexplained to lb. Valdes , the exatt position of the wreck, sad iefornsel him that he had failed in all kis atteurs to make an examination of her, and that he had returned into port only to provide himself with his diving apparatus, by means of which he had some hope of being able to @semi., the state of the ship and her cargo. Mr. Frown explained, that the wreck is now lying right oa the main top of the sand, about two cables' les or h from deep water, and about the same distance W. by N. from where the Tongue Beacon used to stand before it wag washed away. The m• non board the light-v,sol reported to Mr. Frewin, that when the Royal Adelaide passed their ship a dreadful sea was running, and their opinion is, that having first struck the edge of the bank she became unmanageable, and was driving further rn to the sand where she now lies. Play also consider, from Laving teen so few signals fired, that the vessel filled with water vary shortly alter she struck, and then, of course, co more signals could be fired. That the vessel must have had a very heavy shock, and soon went to pieces appears evident from the fact, that the larboard quarter from the bulwarks el-. wr. to the kcel broke sight adrift, and has been discovered beefed in the s tad near the Red Sand buoy two miles from the wreck in 2( fathoms of water. The copper sheathing and haterings on this portion of the wreck are entire. The poop was also di•oovered Boating on the " Black Deeps," ha the other side of the Girdle, Sand, about four miles from • the wreck. Mr. Frewin went off to the wreck again this startles, provided with hie diving apparatus, and, as the weather has been tolerably calm since, it is hoped he will have had an opportunity of examinicg what remains of the I vessel. The other lugger boats remain on the spot, for the chance of pi , king up any of her cargo. The crews have had b contend with 'my rough seas hitherto, and one galley Ina mink while s ngaged in the has trdous calling. Not a vestige say of the boats helcaging to the Roy el Adelaide has been discolored, from which it is inferred that they were laucched, but not being able to live is the terrible sea that prevailed at the time, have all foundered. The two bodies picked up by the Nelson logger, on being brought ashore, were conveyed to the house of Mr. Gore, an undertaker iv this town, who, on the instructions of the parochial authorities, has had them both placed in 'hells, preparatory to their interment. Neither of these poor fel lows appear to have dkd from drowning. They ra.u. r seem to have perished in the water. Both or them were provided with life preservers in the shape of large corks tied round the chest and back, the one having ten and the other five, each abort as large as a brick. There was nothing found on either of their persons leading to Fositive identifi cation, but from some letters found upon the one, and a name written inside the boot of the other, there does not appear to be much doubt on the subject. The one, from his dress, would appear to have been the mate of the vessel. He wore blue troween, black frock coat, a pilot overcoat, and a south wester. la his pockets were found three letters and a memorandum, but no money or other property of any de scripuon. One of the letters as written by a gentleman named R 'beets, who dates from Great HorriegetrAt, Liver pool. It is ad , reseed to Mr. William (fowler, chief mate of the Leeds steamer (this vessel belongs to the Dublin com. puny I, and communicates the death of Gowler's wife. It is dated as far back as February last. Another letter is writ tea by Mr. P. Howell, and dated from the Dublin Steam Packet Company's Offices, Eden Quay, Dublin. It com plains of some irregularities oa board As company's boats, and especially the Leeds steamer, and would appear to have bee. handed eo the deceased by a Mr. Lane, to whom it Is &debased. From this It night be interred that the calor• tuoste man was an dicer on board the L•eds steamer, but a memorandum fumed ia his waistcoat pocket seems to show that, at any rate, ea the peaceet voyage, he we tee of the mew of the Royal Ad sr. This memorandum rues " Wilson and wife het their ticket. To be allowed to pass free is the Royal Adelaide to London. " Much 27 " " J. LEVERT:RC TM ammo of Coe is written in the boot of the other de mand. Two shillings and a farthing piece were found upon arm his pockets were compl-tely full of sand, showing that he mast have been driven about on the bank in • fright fal moaner. It may bo mentioned, also, that when found his mck wasdWoested. From his dress the poor fellow appears to have bees a stoker or fireman. The letters and memo. /sedum have hem h 'ceded over to Mr. Merchant, the super intendent of the Margate police, who wrote by last night's poet to Mr. Roberta, to amertain kis wishes respecting the Way of the decesset. There will be no inquiet held on the bodies, for the one reason that no evidence can be adduced. PLYMOUTH, TCIIIIDAT Mown°.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. THIS DAY. HOW-STRILET. A MAN TNILOWN FROM ?El Boise OF Sill BTLAND Tassels.—R. Lethbridge, a enasextiffter at the Strand Theatre, was charged with throwihn Matthews from t►e boxes into the orchestra of the theatre, thereby cawing Lis life to be in dearer. A write:We was headed to the magistrate from the holes surgeon of King's College Hospital, stating that Matthews was lying in the hospital, in a very precarious oonditioa, bat hopes are Wtertained of t is recovery. W. Roe, a palette's labourer, esseloysd at the Strand Theatre, who carried his right arse in a sling, stated that hi. hand had been v. ry much injured by the violrnoe of the prisoner. The prisoner and several other men entered the theatre yesterday afternoon, for the purpose of getting 'oho weeny reedy for the evening's performance, and they all appeared very much intoxicated. The prisoner commenced quer:tiling with a gum., and wished to tight his. Matthews, who was fermium over the majwinten, en deem Aired to pacify the prisoner, and reasoned with him, telling him to go hese, whisk he refused to do, and some very violent language muted. Witness advised Matthews to leave the place a sheet time, and is the mean time be would endeavour to get the prisoner away. Matthews concealed himself in one of the bows on the " 0.P." side, but, unfortunate's, the prisoner happened to how his epics*, and he exclaimed with au oath that he would kill him.

A Iwo 'trail- RN tamed, and Matthews was thrown from the box, and fell with considerable siolence upon a drum in the orchestra. The prisoner fell with great force upon Matthews, who was picked up insensible and bleeding profusely from wounds upon his face, and was removed to the hospital. Witness bad seen Matthews this morning, and his foes was most frightfully dbflgured. It was cut and bruised all over. He also complained of his back, and it was supposed that some of hie nbs were broken. A portion of the stage was tarried away by the falling of the two m^n. The prisoner, in defthee, s lid Iletthews first struck him, and he wee sit injurid by the fall, which was accidental. Mr. H. cry remanded the prisoner until Saturday next. MARLBOROUGH STREET.

Police constable 139 C stated that on the previous after noon he was on duty in St. James's-square, when he saw the Marquis of Bristol leave his mildest* and get into his cab. As the marquis was driving off, prisoner stepped forward, and in an inssli nt manner demanded alms. The marquis refused to relieve him, and drove away.

MANCHESTER, EAtTBR TVESDAY. • Lord Jobs Russell mired here evening by the lamming expr.se train from London. Us was revived at the London-rood tensions of the L sod an and North Western railway by several members of the family of Bit Benjamin Heysood, But, who were witi , ieg his lordship's turival. A number of gen:lemon hal stationed themselves on the platform, and cheered Lis lordship, and he left almost immediately in • ekes carriage for Clerem,nt, near Eccles. The cathedral church of Ms oche st..r was this day desecrated tone of those noisy, wrangling meetings common to the iter he lisle's, when the annual meetings of parishoners are held forth eh ice of churchwardens in the sacred edifices, but so disgraceful in the eyes of ell who are imbued with anyeldog lake true religious feeling. The result bar been, that the church rsiormen have stataioed • efe trait only teen porary is duration, but extremely vexatious in character. It was ex(laised, is a former letter on this subject, that it was extremely desirable that Metiers. Birley, Morley and Urge, the present churchwardens should be re-elected, becalm being the promoters of the rectory division bill now before parliament, if again returned to their offices at the errs of their official 'tar by a triumphant majority they would stand in a better posi' ion, as specialty retiree. at leg on this question the views of the inhabitants. There is no doubt, had the people of Manchester ben allowed • Toil!, in this matter, they would haee been returned by a vast maj rity. Their defeat, if defeat it can be call, d, has hewn brought stout by a trick. The high church pirey, unshle to canceled with them, wholly absented themselves from the meeting, and a multitude of claniorousch ertists occupied their plan. These men voted • Mr. Willie, one of their own body, into the chair, and when the old churchwardens were proposed fur re-election, a list of men wholly uofi: for the office in such a town were put forw-rd in an amendment. Mtn. a Seene of tumult cad clamor highly disgraceful in inch • place, protracted over several hours, the two lists were put to the vats. The chairman declared the amended list to be cursed, and though it w.s contended by the other side tuat the numbers were so nearly equal as to pre cluie s correct deei , ion say the show of hands, be refused to call for a division or a scrutiny as to the right of the parties present to give a Tot*. A pelt war then demanded, but this the chairman also nitwit on the piss that he was opposed to the principle of Sturges B , uroe's Act, under which the poll last year (as it mast necessarily be on all occasions whilst the law is in force) was token. The consequence of this prceeedieg is that the promoters of the original list will have to appg to the C net of Queen's Bench for a mandamus to compel the chairmen to do his duty, and thus a waste of partsi funds will be effected to gratify these parties in their factious procee.ings EXCLUSIVE AUDIENCE TO rite BAIL—The qucatiot respecting exclusive au genre to the bar is still ui.tettled. A few dais since Mr. Harden, the County Court Judge at Chide; decided that counsel had exclusive audience in insolvent" cases. Reference was made to a contrary opinion of Mr. Serjeant Dowling, the County Court Judge at York, which decision was mentioned in the Daily Sews some weeks back. Mr. [Loden considered that Mr. Serjeant Dowling had mistaken the point, inasmuch as he had de cided contrary to the practice of the Commissioners of the losslvent Debtors' Conn, whose Latinos* had been trans ferred to the County Courts. Utilise some positive regula tion is made on this subject, it is likely to lead to a good deal of misunderstanding b-tweea the attorneys an.; bar- TRANSPORTATION oF CoNviCrs.—The hired con vict ship Barrett% jun., Captain Huggins, is appointed to sail from Woolwich, on the Bth of the present month, with 400 convicts, for Hobart Town and Pert Jackson. The Sprightly, war steamer, entered the Sou ly.mpton Docks on Monday night. Yesterday 100 convicts arrived at S nithautp ton by the Dorchercr mail train from Portland, and were pet on , board the Sprightly. A vessel is waiting in the Cowes Roads to receive them. Their destination is believed to be Australia. SERIOUS AFFRAY IN TUE STRAND THEATRE. —Last evening, between the hours of five and gig, exisider able excitement was caused amongst the company of the New Strand Theatre in conseqsence of the following occurrence, which will be attended with very serious, if not bail results, to one of the earpectere employed in the establiehm.•n•. From careful inquiries made it appeared that Joseph Mot thews, the stage carpenter, and a man named Lepbridge were employed in the second tier of private boxes vetting the theatre ready for opening for the night's performance, when Mr. Matthews desired the other man to do yew thing, which he refused, when • quarrel between the two ensued. Lepbddge then flaw into • violeat passion, and swore t►at be would throw Matthews into the pit. He immediately rushed towards him and mixing him round the body endeavoured to eery his "threat into execution. The unfortunate man Matthews tried all he could to prevent his antagonist from throwing him over, but without effect, sad at length he was thrown from the mould tier of boxes into the orchestra, the man Lep bridge falling upon him. Amktance having bees procured, Leybridge it was found was not much hurt, but Matthews was so seriously it jured that he could not stand. A stretcher was therefore procured from the police station, and the unfortunate man was forthwith conveyed to King's College Hospital. Mr. Salter, ens of the house surgeons, attended upon the sufferer, and did everything that was necessary for him, but as yet it is impossible to tell to what extent be is injured. Lspbeidgs was then taken into custody, and lacked up at Bow•street police station, where, as will be seen by the polies report in another column, he was that day examined. FATAL ACCIDENT ON TIM SOUTH-WESTERN RAlL WAY.—Yesterday afternoon a fatal occurrence took plies on the line near the Wrayabury station, as the 2 26 p.m. train was ptospeding trout Windsor to L.lidon. The enganadriver pervired a man on the line, and immediately sounded Lis whistle. The breaks wen applied, but unfortunate:, with out the wished•Lr drat. The man remained for a short time eationary, and on the appr )sch of the train threw him self down, when his head came in contact with the step of Ma first carriage, and he was instantly destroyed. The train was stopped as soon as 'bie, aad the mutilated numbss of the sufferer °elle , and conveyed to the place where limy await the coroner's inquest. The detwed was a farmer's ermine at Detchett and had bean married only a few month/. MONEY MARKET. TERBIUM EVENING. The prices at which the exchanges were negotiated for this day's mail, present no variation from those previously current, with the exception of a trifling decline in the rate on French places, and an improve ment in that on Vienna and Trieste. St. Petersburg letters of the 23d March report au inactive market for all the leading articles of produce. In tallow little inclination to operate was evinced, and only a few hundred casks had been done at 108 to 1084 money, and 111 with an advance, for August delivery, at which rates there were sellers in the market. In flax nothing had been done owing to the high pretensions of holders, who refused 112,102, and 92 It, demanding 115 R, &o. Hemp was also dull, with sellers at 82 money, and 85 with an advance for clean on contract. It is I estimated that 500,000 poods have now been con tracted for. Linseed was likewise without transac tions and dull. For oil the demand was languid, and the price had declined to 26 Ht. The Mock of this ar ticle is very heavy, amounting to 230,625 poods, against 33,820 at same date last year. The weather continued c• ld, and as the frost was becoming rather stronger, the roads into the interior were kept in good order. London letters of the 13th had owner to hand. Exchange on Loudon was quoted 38d. to 38141. Accounts from Bergen, of the 17th Masai, state that the herring fishery was Just ended, and had yielded about 450,000 barrels, which is about the usual average. Of this, 200,0 00 barrels were on the eve of exportation. The price last paid for Leech barrels, was 2ep., 114 s. and for pine 29., 102 s. The accounts received there of the Nordland:fl-hery, were very favourable, but the result could not be deter mined till after the next four weeks, when the fishing would be over. It promised, however, to exceed in amount that of the present year. At Ber gen the stock of train oil did not exceed 1,200 casks of both kinds; brown bad been disposed of at 144 sp. and white at 17 s 2. Of round flab the stock was esti mated at 10,000 wasgs, for which 1 sp. 18s. to 1 sp. 304. were demanded. The total exports from Bergen during 1849, amounted to 662,235 wog. dry fish, 126,690 wog. salted fish, 306,037 barrel s o f herrings, 19,107 barrels of fish-roes, 39,189 casks of brown and white train oil. There were imported during the same period, 183,130 casks of salt, 130,073 barrels of rye, and 240,035 barrels of barley. The shipowners had expended much capital in increasing the mercan tile navy, and were about to establish a mutual ma rine insurance company. MULLS srocza.—Aran. 1. Spec Cent. Cnrivils Si per Cent.

GLASGOW, KILMARNOCK, & ARDROSSAN. The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the company was to have taken plea, ow Saturday afternoon, within the compant 's office la Glasgow, but the shartholdrre present not being of the requisite number to constitute a meeting, it was, alter waiting fully an hour, adjourned by the deputy_ chairmen, Mr. Graham of Feminize, sine die. In the in terval, however, Mr. Wilkie insisted that, though no busi ness maid be proceeded with, the report of the two gentle men appointed to investigate the affairs of the company should be read to the meeting. Mr. Gratuum at first dec.inedl to allow anything to be done till the meeting was constituted, but ultimately the usual half-yearly report by the directors was road. It stated that since last meeting the requisite parliamentary notices had been given, and the necessary steps taken for the promotion of a bill for the abandonment of the more costly part of their undertaking,—namely, that poetise of the line running into Kilmarnock, and for the re. ductioa of the liabilities of the company front 251. to IV. 109. per share. As the measure propored would have done no possible injury to any party, and would have tendod greatly to benefit the shareholders by relieving thew of a large amount of their liabilities, and thereby render tho purchase of the Ardrossan harbar a more profitable in.( ament, the directors did act anticipa's any oppositioa to the posing of the bill, whirls was read a second time on 25th February ; but, as petitions had been preseated against it it was not their intention to proceed with it this session. The returns of the Kilwinuing and Ardasran line, for this year, the report went on to say, showed, as contrasted with previous year,, an increase of a considerable amount, and the returns for the harbour showed au equally favourable result. A new wharf, instead of a wood's one, was the only work in pro gram, and would cost about 1,6001. The revenue was stated to be 10,3081. 99. , there being a pregnant, increase foe the first five weeks of the lett three years 1848 49.50, from 6061., 7151., to 8121. The revenue of the harbour was said to be 2,6321. 6s. 110. A message was then sent for Messrs. Borthwick and M'Ewan, the committee of investigation, who having appeared with their report, Mr. Graham declared the meeting, fur want of a quorum, 'loomed sine die, end left the room. The shareholders present, however, who might be fourteen or fifteen in number. incluiing Mr. Gourley, Mr. Peter White, Mr. Gray, Mr. Wilkie, Mr. Wiltoo, &c. TO ; and, at their suggestion, Mr. M'Ewan read the report of the committee. PARIS AND ST. GERMAIN. At the annual general meeting held by the share holders of the St. Germain Railway Compar.y a few days since, the report stated that the whole arnoun'. cf the damage done to the line after the revolution of February reaches the sum of 578,079 f. 52e. No dr tioitive answer has yet been mails by the government ts the demand made by the board of directors for the reimbursement of that amount. The receipts for 1849 are superior to those of 1949, hut inferior to those of 1947. A dividend of 28f. per share for the past year was declared : end u a sum of 12f. 50c. per share has been already distributed, a further sum of 121. 5Ue. is now payable to the shareholders. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Report', In the week ending last Saturday, 1,167 deaths were registered in the metropolis. In the 10 corresponding weeks, namely, the thirteenth in each of the years 18409, the average number of deaths was 1,051, or corrected for in crease of population, was 1,150; there is, therefore, an apparent excess of mortality in last week above the ay.rage, but it amounts only to 17. Ihe weekly number of deaths has continuously increased during the last mw.tb, as the returns which follow, commencing with the first wet k of March, will show: the deaths were succ.sevely 1,75, 967, 1,026, and 1367. Part of the great increase in last return is due to the augmented mortality of diseases that affect the omens of respiration, for in this class the deaths reentered last wet k are 252 (namely, from bronchitis, 113 ; from pneumonia, 88 ; from asthma, 29 ; from laryn gitis, pleurisy, and other diseases of the respiratory organs, 22). This class numbered in the previo u s w, ek 231 ; and in both weeks the numbers are much above the average, which is not more than 184. Tbe extraordinary coldness of the weather serves to explain this result. From con sumption there were is the previous week 135, in the last 115 ; in both there were considerably less than the corrected ge, which is about 150. In the epidemic clue, sma ll. In: and scarlatina are still less fatal than usual, especially the latter ; meas:es, hooping-coluth, and typhus, from which there were last week 19, 44, and 39 respective:y, • .ow about the ordinary amount of fatality ; 7 p.rtous died of influents, being an ircreue ; 18 of diarrt or and dysentery, which is less than In the previous week, but more than the Re. Bat the excess in last return over the weeks immediately preceding is only to u small extent caused by an increased rate o: mortality; coroners' cases, many of which were not du'y registered during the quarter as they recurred, but were kept in reserve till the end of it, swell the account. These chi fly consist of deaths from fractures, wounds, burns, and scalds, hanging, drowning, and poison, amounting in the present case to :91, of which only 10 occurred in the week, and of .52 sudden" deaths, of which the causes have not been sufficiently ascer tained, or are irmraperly returned, and of which only six occurred in the week. Amongst others are five children suffocated in bed or on the mother's breast, three persons who died of intemperance, and a man from exposure to cold. GREAT EXHIBITION OF 1831. MARTLEBONE MMITINO.—A meeting of the veemles took place at the Court-house on Saturday, U. C. Plowden, Esq. ' M.P., in the chair, when a form of addres s to the borough mem bers, Sir B. Hell, M.P., and Lord D. C. Stuart, M.P., wu prepared, affirming the expediency of th e exhibition, and requesing them to call a public meeting of the borough of Muj lebone at en early date. THE Goruitxt CASE.—AU address from the great body of the evangelical clergy is about to be presented to the Archbishop of Canterbury, expressive of the gratitude they feel towards his grace fur the firm rand he has made in defeace of what they d.siunate the pure principles of the Established Churil of England. The high church, or trac tarian party, have, on the other hand, agreed to an address to the Bishop of Exeter (which is to be presented in the course of a taw days) in which they convey to his 1 irdship their thanks f,r the firmness with which he has resisted " errors respecting the sacrament of the holy baptism, which they concise with the bishop in regarding as subversive of the na'urs of a sacrament, errors which, in their humble station, they will erer reel it their bounden dwy to oppose." The following resolutions were agreed upon by the clergy assembled at the rural deanery of Wakefield last week: Resolved, 1. " That it is a riaLt inherent in the church of Christ, by the commit sion of her divine founder, to define in matters of doctrine." 2. That, in accordance with the above-named right, no court ought to wises. the power of judicially and finally declaring the doctrines of the church, except such as shall be constituted in agree ment with the princtplis of the church, and have received its jurisdiction by formal ecclesiastical slnction." 3. " That the power which is at present vested by act of parliament, without the formal concurrence of the church in the judicial committee of the privy council to interpret the formularies of the church by a final judicial sentence, and thus practically to det.ne and declare the doctrines of the church, is en infringement of the fundamental right of the church to be judge in matters affecting the faith, and at variance with the law of Christ."—t. " That the existence of this state of things is a grievance in conscience; and that this grievance is rendered more burdensome by the bet that the members of the judicial committee ei council are not necessarily members of the church of England."-5 That tar the redress of the said grievance, the following steps are necessary:"—l. "That the church in convocation or synod hove license to deliberate for the special purpose of devising a proper appel late tribunal for determ Ling all questions of doctrine, and other matters purely spiritual." 11. "That an act of par liament he passed (or the purpose of making the judgments of such tribunal binding on the temporal courts of this realm." 111.

Thes3 resolutions were subse quently made the basis of an address to the Lord Bishop of Ries. THE WATER SUPPLY TO LITERPOOL.—RAntrt Stephenson, Esq., M.P., to whom it was referred to deter mine with respect to the various plans of supplying water to Liverpool, has reported, as was supposed yesterday, against the local supply, end recommends that the Rivington Pike scheme should be carried out. This has created quite a fer ment in Liverpool. Mr. Stephenson enters most minutely tato the various questions submitted to him. lie contends, that Liverpool cannot prudently rely upon a sufaciert supply by deepening the existing wells—that the reservoir of water cruder Liverpool has become, to some extent, deteriorated by continued and extensive pumping, and that so mach has been expended on the Itivingten project, that scheme should be completed. Mr. Stephenson says, the water from the saadstone is preferred for drinking, whilst that from Riving tee, from its softness, is the better for almost every other purpose; the former may be said to be the most palatable, mad the latter the most useful. CASTLEBAR FARMERS' FUND.—We are happy to mutes that the clergymen who have created this fund are hourly engaged in distsibuting oats, farm seeds, and p.itatoes to several hundred poor (*pun in this neighbourhood, b which these persons are - ambled to till their l ands, which °therm(/' they would not be able to accomplish. We regret that the fonds of the society have been considerably di minished by the non-paymeat of persons receiving loans last year, and that there has been no increase by public contri butions to this useful institution.—Mayo Conatilution.
