Thursday a general Vestry Meeting of the inhabi tants of the parish was held for the ; Impose of receiving the Report cf . the Church RerairingCommittee, or in ract to determine whether the repairs of th:s ancient edifice should be stopped; or if they were'to be pro ceeded with, and by whim ? The Report of the Com mittee differed little from the previous Report, recom mending that Messrs. Grieve sod Wilkins sh , uld be alowed to repair the south transect of the aurch, u. on their proposed tenders of 3,5661. and sta ing that the pat ish had a clear annual incyme r f 1.50 f 1. avail able for the purpose of Church repair.. They advised that a sufficient somshould be borrowed upon that in. come to defray the expenses of the repair;. Mr. C. BARCLAY. M.P. sup! orted the Committee's Report. Three years ago it had been decided that the Church stood in need of immediate repairs, and there could be no doubt that every day's delay rendered it much worse, and increased the danger. The parish possessed ample means for restoring the church, with out suljecting themselves to any new or oppressive tax. After the Committee had gone so far as to advertise for tenders, and that the par:ies who had sent in the lowest, and had been put to greit trouble and expense, and moreover led to believe that theirs would be ac cepted, he could not conceive the Vestry wonld slight the labours of the Committee, or longer allow the church to remain in its present di-graceful condition. Mr. BLACILIIOII contended tLat the old edifice ought lobe pulled down, because a new church, adapted to - the wants of the inhabitants, might be built for 13,0001. ; while the complete repairs of the .eaisting building -would be Nll2OOOl. Ile moved, as an amendment, f that an application should be mode to the Bishop of Wincbesce, had to Parliament, for leave to pull down. . the old church and build a new one. fin 13.00 a Mr. WILD contended that the Nortl , transept mood' snort in need of immediate repair, and without 4s,iolitigl any object, concluded by moving, as a further ;emelt& ment, that the repairs should be postponed for a lets ; months.. Mr. HARMS, a Quaker, addressed the Meeting ai great length, and contended that they ought to do; nothing with the Church until the line of road for the! .New London Bridge was-laid down. No one could with bow the line of road would af f ect the Church. ,He inoveJ, as another emendates', that the repairs shoal Ise postponed until the approaches to tl.e New Loud . Bridge were determined -upon. Mr. Blackmore's amendment was put and negatived; almost unanimously; Mr. Wild withdrew his amend• Ahem; and Mr. Harriss's amendment was carried-by coasider4b;e majority. . .

Extract of a letter dated Simon', B Iy, Cape of Good Hope, Oct. 29,1828:—" Our new Governor, Sir L wry Cole, paid a visit to Simon% Town last week, and in spected all the public departments and buildings. His Ricellency has given directions for reducing the huge size of the latter, erected by Lord Cha . Somerset, and for their being fined up in as economical a manner as possible. The public wharf, arid water.works, are to undergo improvements; the military barracks, which hive been in ruins for a considerable tinie, ale to be re.

The decision of the Governor has not tranapited. Chaka had greatly ridiculed the resents which had Bien sent blob' by Government and which. among the rest. compri.ed a qumuty of it.edicine.

The Island fur nishes abundance of goats and guinea fowls; but the latter are destroyed by the wild cats. The rats, with which the Island was formerly overrun, have nearly all dia l speared. The Clinker gun brig sent her boats int.) the river Bimbia, on the 18th August, to look for slave I vessels; a brigantine that was lying there fired at them, and hoisted Brazilian cabins. The boats immedi tely boarded to resent the insult, when a sharp encounter, a quarter of an hour in duration, took place, which ended in the turrender of the vessel, her Ca; tain and several men being killed, seven severely wounded, and thirteen prisoners. Mr. Coyde, who commanded the boats, and Inter seamen, were severely wounded, and one man was killed.

This he considered a grew viola • that of the Act of Parliament. The Loma Havoc observed, that if there was on restralet wt .' blowing, beating, and sounding, in public houses," the practice wuuld certainly become an hatulershie nuisance. ii HOW.STREET. George Weal was brought up for rmezaasination on a diarge of horse-stealing.

Mr. Moore stated that his house had been robbed of various articles iss Ids business from time to time, but he was unable to find out the delinquents, and of all the men in Isis employment the prisoners were the least likely to be suspected, Irons die fact of their being able to earn, as finishers, - from four to viz pounds per week, and such was the combinatio n amongst them, that he was unable to reduce dirk wages. One of apprentices, however, made such a discovery as left no doubt ma his mind that they committed the felony with which they were charged. Mr. Moores apprentice stated that he found two hats isuk in the crown of the hat of the prisoner,William Taylor,whicb he was enabled to do by placing atilt over the steamy', which 'process rendered hats pliable without dubs them an) injury. lle sold the circumstance to his master who had the two prisoners oaken into custody.
