V. MR. OWEN'S REPLY TO FILOCEIDINGS OF TUI GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF SCOTLAND, ►suwms TO THE NEW LANARK SCHOOLS. RSVEREND SIRS—In the Report of the proceedings o f your last Meeting, as published in the Glasgow Chro nide of the Ist of June, which I have just read, I find the fullowing paragraph : ~ A cones pnndence was rea d, f rom w hi c h i t ap reAreal that Mr. Owen, of New Lanark, had re f use d The p res bytery of Lanark admittance to examine his Schools, last April. The Assembly unanimously ap vointed a Committee to confer with his Majesty's Soli-1 citor•Gene,ai, that the proper steps may be taken to en 6frce a strict compliance with the Acts which require Presbyteries to examine ali the public and private s chools within their bounds." It is true, Reverend Sirs, that I did refuse the Pres !sytery of Lanark admittance into cur private schools at New Lanark,—but I added, that a; Gentlemen and neighbours, I should be at all times happy to see them i n their individual capacity, and to shew them the schools and every other part of the establishment. I refused admittance to the Presbytery of Lanark, because they claimed that as a light, to which I lielieve they have no title whatever. I ielUsed it, because in a former exercise of this supposed right, they appear to me to have displayed a total want of whatever apper ta:ns to pure an genuine religion. I thank you most cordially, Reverend Sir s, for thus hriiiging the subject fairly before the Public, because I wish the Public to judge between us. You claim an inquisitorial right over the consciences of those who live within your bounds. I deny that right upon principles of most simple and obvious mstice. Every man must of' necessity believe what ap ,• pears to him true, and cannot by possibility believe what appears to him false. To force any other expression of opinion from him, is to force him to become a hypocrite. such proceedings has insinterity been universally :ornied, and vice made to abound : by such proceedings are deception and hypocrisy at this hour successfully ;Owed upon the minds of the rising ,generation. You have the right, in common with all other men, of expressing your opinions in the way of fair argument. It that right prove iinufficient for their support, any attmipt to force them upon the minds of those who ' une iilinfr to receive them, ss ill be considered in the rcient advatlced state of the human mind, as a futile d_sire to exercise :t monstrous power, which, as it can only engender and perpetuate vice, %%ill never again, I mist, be recognised as belonging to any individual or to any body of men. You, Reverend Sirs, are a body professing, like many bodies of men, who differ materially from you, to lute di,covered and to be exclusively in possession of True Religion. lam one of many millions who are conscientiously obliged to think, that, on this subject, you have lament ably erred, and that your practice proves how much you have been nii,taken. '!'here are at present many contending competitors. toLe discovery of true religion. I,Vhen true religion is rii , ,covered, it will be easily known, because it will make men charitable and kind to all. Now as no such general character, up to the present period, has been touted, is it not reasonable to conclude that pure and genuine religion, freed from corruptions and errors, does nowhere exist ? This is the age c.f great di:covelie.;, and of much competition. 1 cannot avoid believing that 1 am in possession of that which has been so ardently sought tcr, TRUTH ON THE SUBJECT OF RELIGION; and 1 nizan almost immediately to bring my sentiments into competition with yours, and with those of all the other Marchers for truth on this most important subject. The friendly contest between us, as I hope it will be, must be decided, not by anger and irritation, not by jea lousies, and a desire for power to do evil, but by the fruits which shall respectively be produced. These considerations bring the difference between us to a point. If your system of religion and morals shall lie found in practice to form the more virtuous indi vidual character, and the better statq,of society, then will I come over to your views, and aid and as•ast you to the utmost of my powers ; hut if, on the contrary, I should discover to you the prirp_irle , : upon which alone, car. be founded a religion pure, simple, and consistent in ell its parts; a religion which s.hall form men to be tiled end charitable to all, whatever be their dilli!rence Ot opi- Mon, which shall withdraw ji-Joi men all desire to domi• neer 61 , zr their . fcllows, at to dictate to their consciences, or in any manner to do thcm au it jury ; a religion, which slrall reject. as worse than useless, all exclusive privileges, cll violent . support fur itself, and all foreible means al con rcrsion ; a religion whose only weapon is dispassionate orgnment, and whose followers will think it unworthy their support, if with that weapon they cannot d,:fend it ; then do I expect that you will relinquish the abuses and trrors of your present system, and adopt those p , inci. pies, which I shall, ere long, disclose to you and to the world. The mysterious *bight of dailness and dtdeption is expiring, and the cheering light of until begins to ap pear. That you, Reverend Sirs, may live to experience, 19 peace and qiiietness, the benefit of this li;;!it, is the , 7,cerc wish'of yuar faithfiil Servant, 1:0BEHT OVVE'S. P.lll-31a11, 9th June, 1824. Monday last the Edinburgh Chess Club dined tOge tter at the British Hotel, in Queen.ttreet. About 45 sat down to most excellent dinner, W.

CiIRISTOPIIERSON. • This was a criminal information preferred by the ArrottNEy-GENERAL against the defendant, at the in stance of the Admiralty, and charged the defendant, who is Captain of a trading vessel called the Trafalgar, with having put four of hi. crew, named Collings, Patter son, Stephenson, and Wind ~ on shore on a desert part of the coast of Noith America, and left them there, against their will a;;d consent. — Mr. Gurtst:v stated the case to the 'Jury, and called Collings, who detailed ;he facts. The other individuals were called and examined, and corroborated the testi mony riven by Collings. Mr. BROUGHAM, for ►he defendant, cross-examined the witnesses, with a view of sliewing that they had re fused to do their duty in the ship; and had, in fact, formed a plan for quitting the Trafalgar, and engaging in some other vessel, but tailed to establish this fact. The Learned Counsel called no witnesses, but ad dressed the Jury at considerable length; and pointed out, with his usual acuteness, the inconsiAencies and improbabihties in the story told by the witnesses. T.:e Loki) CHIEF JUSTICE summed up, and the Jury found the defendant Guilty. He will be brought trp for judgment in Trim. AINSLIE V. Linn. This was an action for damages. The parties belonged to an fn. diaman, of which the defendant was First Mate, and, during the absence of the Captain, took command of. the vessel. Plaintiff having accidentally fallen ovLrboard, the defendant ordered the boatswain to tie him up and flog him, as he said, for going over board; he, the plaintiff, nic.eiv‘d three dozen lashes, whicis cut hint severely, start e d th e bl oo d, an d h e f e ll d ur i ng the operation. Plaintiff declared he accidentally fell overboard, and called a varier of evidence, different Of f icers in the ship, who said it was an acci dent, and that he was not drunk. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE summed up the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages £BO. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 12. THE DUKE OF NORTHUMBERLAND V. CLOWES. This was an action brought by the Duke of Northum berland against the defendant, for a nuisance, in erect ing a steam engine close to Northumbei land House. A wooden plan of Northumberland House and gardens was produced in Court. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN stated, that the Noble Duke, in coming into Court, claimed no more than other sub jects of his Majesty, but he had an equal right to the protection of the laws. The defendant was a respect able printer, residing contiguous to Northumberland House, and had last September erected a steam-engine, by ‘vhich Northumberland house was much annoyeJ. They complained of smoke, want of water, and a great noise, re,embling a threshing-machine, carts, or remote thunder; and, when the wind was in the north-east, a prodigious quantity of Mack snow falling so thick on the pavement, that a person could write his name on it. To prevent this smoke the defendant had latterly used coke instead of coal, but finding the coke not to answer so well as coal, he only recurred to it on days that visits were expected, to inspect the premises, after which ire reverted to the use of coal. The Duke had expended about 10Q,0001. in repairing and beautifying Northum berland House, and had employed British artisans wholly for that purpose. After expending so much, it was surely hard that the noble proprietor should be driven from it. The servants could not open the win dows oil account of the smoke, particularly the sky light which lighted the grand staircase, and which was near the steam-engine. The effect of opening windows would be that the smoke would injure the paintings. Tile walls were shaken by the operation of the engine —an offensive smell wit, felt—and great injury was done to the herbage and flowers. After the erection of the engine a scarcity of water was felt at Northumber land House, on account of the supply reqoisite fur the steam. It was true the defendant had dug a well for the engine, but its effect was to draw the water from the Duke's well. Northumberland House was originally the property of the Earl of Northampton, but had been in possession of the Northumberland family for two centuries. The Noble Duke, in bringing this action, did not ask to recover dainaqes, but only to ascertain , how this nuisance, which affucted his property, could • be abared.—Evidence being calved on the part of the plaintiff, a proposition was made to refer the cause, which was objected to. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL proceeded to comment upon the evidence, and said he should call witnesses to disprove it. _ At the suggestion of the Court, a reference was again proposed, and finally it was agteed to take a verdict for tLc pla i ntiff—Damages 1,0001. subject to the reference of Mr. Selwyn. DOE. D. suirAnity V. WILFORD. This was a case to determine whether the plaintiff wasentitled to a portion of the property of the late General Wilford. The property in dispute had at one time formed part of theßanelagh property,and hag been devised with the rest, by the General to the defendant, who was his widow. After the making of the General's will, the Governors of Chelsea Hospital applied to him to purchase a small part, about seven acres,: of that. called the Ilanelagh pro perty. In order the better to assure the title, they required, the General to pass a fine of the Itanelag,h property, which he' accordingly diJ. 'The General died shortly afterwards, not having altered the terms of his will, by which the whole of his Ilanelagb property had been left to his widow. The plaintiff, who claimed as heir at law, contended that by the operation of tite fine, that putt of the will relating to the ILinelagh property was revoked, and was left in the same state as if the Utiikral had died intestate, in which case it would clearly have descended to his heir at law.—The' Oiler Justice made some strong observations on the conduct of the plaintiff, under whose directions, and by whose advice, the fine had been passed, and said, that although a Court of Law would not disturb s title founded on a fir.e,which was the great assurance of the larded property of the kingdom, still that the defendant might have reourse to another jurisdiction, namely, a Court of Equity, for relief. —The Jury then found a verdict for the plaintiff, by which his legal title to that part of the Ilanelagh property vested in the General at the time of his death wets affirmed. Letters from Corfu, of the of this month, relate, that an English vessel had been attacked in the Gulf of Missoloughi by four Barbary vessels. It would have become their prey, but for Cie sudden app,arance of three Greek vessels w h nich succoured it, and even took an Alge:ine vessel ; the others took refuze at Lepanto., —Augsburg!: Gazette. A very strange epideraie disorder prevails among the rein deer in the North of Sweden; it sv..:.s at first thought by some to resemble hydrophobia t but, on the contrary, the poor animals, as soon as they are attacked, run at full speed till they nwet with a running stream, into which they plunge and perish, to the great loss of the unfortunate owners, whose herds constitute their whole p! overly. It is estirnated that above 3,000 iein deer rave per ished in this manner. The E‘iinburgh Papeis have an account of foot race between two Ladies and two Gentlemen. In one instance the lady kept the lead till wit:tin five yards of the winning line, in spite of the gentlemin's best exertions. Ten companies of shipwrights have been employed at Ports mouth during the last week, on the THE ARMY. Satutday night's atzetie contains his Majesty's approval of the 40th Regiment of Foot bearing on its colours and appointments, in additidn to any other badges or devices which may have heretofore been granted to that Regiment, the words " Nlonte Video," in commemoration of their distinguished gallantry at that plate. Two tr ansports are daffy expected from the River, to take the 24th Regim ent , commanded by Colonel FLL ' 3II " . from Portsmouth garrison to Plym out h, an d to b r i ng thence the b r i ga d e o f G uar il s ,' who are to be landed for duty at Brighton and Windsor. The 75th Regitisent, commanded by Colonel Grams (at present at Windsor), will be conveyed for duty to Dublin ; and the 31st Regiment, now at Dublin, will be brought to Kngland for embarkation to India. Thursday, the South Ilants Yeomanry Cavalry, ureter the com mand of the Right Hon. Sir G. I-I. 11055, Bart. were inspected on Lyndhurst Race Course, by Major-General Itussxxv, who expressed himself no less gratified than surprised at the high state of discipline of the Regiment, as well as of its geueral appearance. Regi ment mustered nearly 500 strung, were all well mounted, arid had: a very soldier like appearance. The OZcers afterwards dined toge ther 'at the Crown Inn, Sir G. H. Ross in the Chair. Monday, the Yarmouth Yeomanry Cavalry, commanded by Sir A. R. LACON, Ilart. btivg the last day of their pt./Mamie; duty, were inspected by Major DEARE, of the 8:h I lusilrs. During the time of the itivecti , m, the Major frequently expressed his approh.v tioa of the nta:mer in which the Corr rrtfOl'illed its CV4UIIOII4, and that 1w had not seed any Yeomanry Troop equal to it in the county. On visit:ng the, store-rponr, &c. he paid a well merited compliment to Captain Sir F. K. Lacox 0:1 the complete equip ment, good discipline, and effective state of the Corps. Immedi ately after the inspection, the gaiiar.t Major se: off for Ilaleswuttli, to inspect the Suffolk Troop., of Yeomanry; and in the afternoon Sir E. K. Lacois gave a dosser to the Members of the Troop, at the Angel Inn. MILITARY PROMOTIONS. • wAIi•OFFICE. :YUNIE 11, 1324. Royal Reginiklt of Horse Guards—Hon.
