Yet the people choose them not, neither did they rare for the people. . And they made a spoil of the people, and laid upon them burthens too grievous to be borne.

The Wexford Evening Post states that, in conse quence of " many persons affecting to discredit the truth of this Clergyman's conversion to the Roman Ca tholic Religion, a gentleman of that county wrote to the Rev. Mr. Caestryck, Leicester, and a letter, containing the particulars, received in answer, has been kindly handed to us." The same Journal publishes the letter, from which we make the following extract : " The lion. and Reverend G. Spencer, sun of Lord Spencer and brother to Lord Althorpe, was a Fellow of Trinity Col lege, Cambridge, Rector of Brington, in Northamptonshire, and Chaplain to the Bishop of London, a gentleman of good abilities and universally esteemed for his affability and benevo. knee. About twelve months before the death of the late Reverend Mr. Vaughan, (who was a rigid Calvinist, and vicar of SL Martin'., in Leicester,) the Honourable and Reverend Gen tleman expressed to the Reverend 31r. Vaughan some doubts or dissatisfaction respecting the ceremonies used by the Church of England, at the same time observing, that he could not find suffi cient authority for them in scripture to satisfy his mind, to which the Rev. Mr. Vaughan frankly replied," Ceremonies are not to be defended by sciiptures, but the discipline of the Church, which, by tradition, Is the expositor of the scriptures; and, indeed, if you do not admit tradition, the scriptures will be of very little use to you." The hon. and rev. gentleman, satisfied with the necessit y of a living and infallible expositor to determine the true sense of scripture, sought on all sides with earnestness to discover which was this ex positor, but ignorant of the Catholic Church, except the character given by its enemies, he did not think of examining her claims to that office ; but happening, at the house of a friend, to meet with a young gentleman, a convert to the Catholic Church, about twenty years of age, and nephew to the Protestant Bishop of Litchfield, the object of his inquiry became the subject of conversation, and this young gentleman, a minor, and only a few years a Catholic, under. took to defend the infallibility of the Catholic Church against the Bishop of Litchfield, in the of the Hon. and Rev. CI. Spencer, the Hon. and Rev. .D. Erskine, (Mr. Vaughan's suc cessor) and another Minister of the Established Church. The time ap puinted being Monday, the 24th of January—most of that week was spent at the house of the young gentleman's father (who is still a Protestant) where the controversy was held. The Hon. and Rev. C. Spencer saw the weakness of the Bishop's arguments compared with his young friend, and the Bishop made this acknowledgment, " You, by following your religion, are sure of salvation ; but I also hope to be saved by following mine"—which made th Hon. and Rev. G. Spencer observe, that in giving the preference to the Ca tholic be is sure of salvat ion, while you have but an uncertain hope of it ; and after the conversation was over the Bishop tacitly acknowledged the evidence of truth, byCalling his nephew aside, and begging him not to press the Hon. and Rev. O. Spencer to become a Catholic, saying, what will his father say, and his friends say, and what will become of his don ? To which the Hon. and Rev. Gentleman, when info of it, nobly replied, " that is all flesh and blood, I have nothing to do with it;" and coming to Lei. cater with the young champion of truth, he accepted an invitation to dine with the Rev. B. Caatryck, when his few remaining objet. eons being removed, and his doubts resolved, he declared his determi nation to become a Catholic, since that Church was proved to be the one established by Christ, and consequently the only true, spotless, and infallible spouse of Christ. He immediately informed his father, and the Bishops of Peterborough and London, of his deter. Initiation, and resigned his livings in the Church of England. I was present and edified by his profession of the Catholic Faith in Holy Cross Chapel, on January the 21st, and shall long remember the joyful solemnity of his first communion and confirmation, on February 14th, by the Right Rev. Dr. Walsh, assisted by the Rev. Dr. Weald, the Rev. Mr. Morgan. of St. May's College, Oscort, and the Rev. B. Caestryck, at which time upwards of twenty other converts were also confirmed. Two days after this confirmatioo, the honourable convert went to visit his father, who, as well as his ether relations, received him most kindly. His father has allowed him a very handsome maintenance, though, no doubt, nominally much less than the livings he resigned, which are said to be worth three thousand pounds per annum. . ..The Hon. Gentle man is now on a visit to the Right Rev. Dr. Walsh, at Wolver hampton ; he intends to be a priest—his father and the Bishop wish him to go to ROME for a coupe of Divinity. Mr. Spencer has now twenty-seven under instruction, who all have commenced since the lit At. and at Hinkly, a small town in this county, tea converts made their first communion on the 21st ult., Yesterday a bill-sticker, when opposite the stonema son's yard near the Canal bridge, Islington, observed through the paling, a boy drowning in the canal, into which it is supposed, in Aging upon some planks put across it, he had accidentally falen. Nobody, at the time, was near the spot, but fortunately some men were at work in the yard, though totally unconscious of the acci dent. The man, who could not get to the yard himself, instantly . called to them, and they happily rescued the boy ; in whom shortly life would have been extinct. He could not speak when taken out of the water, but began to cry as soon as the convulsions bad some. what subsided. A GOOD SERVANT'S CHARACTER: " To all whom it may concern. A.B. having lived in my service since the result of my observations on her qualifications as a servant is as fol lows :—She is sober, honest, dean, industrious, careful, punctual, and (mark I) good tempered. She Is a good cook, a good house. toaid, a good baker, a good confectioner, &c. and (mark 0 she tells the truth. She attends divine service at church twice every Sunday, and carefully reads the bible. She is little of stature, but far su. parlor at all kinds of work to almost every large woman In the kingdom. If bee master has any scheme in hand for the benefit of "the poor, be is sure of her ready and cordial co-operation in cooking, dm." This character, really given to a servant not long ago, has fallen into our bands, and we think there is something so extraOrdi aary in it, that we give it to our readers as a hint as well to masters and mistresses as to savants.— Wolverhampton Chronicle. . ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE IN ST.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND Lose 07 LIFE ON THE RlVER.—Between six and amen o'clock last evening as a wherry with a waterman and three own.porters was crossing the river from Rotherhithe, towards Wapping, the boat came in contact with a hawser belonging to a tier of vessels riding in the centre of the river, and, before the boatman could extricate himself from the maim situation in which a rapid ebb tide bad placed him, the boat awe,' and the waterman and his fare were turned into the middle el the stream. he waterman, fortunately, soon got upon the keel of his wherry, where he kept fast hold until he was relieved from his den prom situation by a boatman passing at the time; but the three corn.porters wets carried by the tide under the tier of vas& and completely disappeared, when three brave fellows, seamen belong ing to the vessels where the accident happened, instantly jumped into the river, and, to the imminent danger of their own lives, saved two of the sinking men, who along with the waterman were Medal ashore to Rotherhithe in a very exhausted state. The exordia of the sailors, however, could not save the other unfortunate indivi. dual from his fate, and his body was not found at nine o'clock last night. DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.—A few days since a circumstance took place in the vicinity of Hendon-on-the-Hill, which there is too much reason to apprehend will eventually prove fatal In its results. A poor man from the neighbourhood of Hammersmith, it appears, without having received any previous permission, entered the grounds of Captain Moore, a gentleman of fortune residing in the vicinity of Hendon, and Captain Moore, being made acquainted with the intrusion, 'hastened to tbe r ead dedred the trespasser at once to dcsist,snd immediately leave The poor man promised to obey him, and, apparently wirdrittention, took up his fi shing.tackle and departed. On this Captain Moore returned homewards, and some time afterwards be watt Weaned by his servants that his orders had not been cont. Sled with, and that the intruder still continued his pastime. lid- Sated at this patinaeity, Captain Sloore hastily snatched up a awe Of pistols, and rushed towards the river; an altereatice ensued, which terminated in his discharging one of the pistols, the contents !ef which lodged in the unfortunate man's arm , and shattered it severely. He was subsequently moved to Stamford . le.Hope, where be received the professional ass istance of Dr. Dodd; but notwith:. this, he still continues in the most perilous condition.— Cart. who has been the cause of this distressing occurrence sureedesed himself to the Rev.

Higgins, which it was referred to Mr. EDGEELL to adjudge the amount of damage upon, that gentleman awarded that the bl. should be refunded, and 30/. additional paid. James Brookes was placed at the bar, charged with having, on the 6th day of last January, In company with another person, coin. mitred an assault upon James Rayner, and robbed him of a sore reign, and a considerable sum in silver, and some half-pence. The other person who was with the prisoner is in custody, but from ill ness could not be brought up to take his trial. The learned JUDOZ asked Brookes if it was his wish to take his trial now ? The prisoner said it was, and Rayner, the prosecutor, was called, and examined by Mr. Pay Mx. This witness was so deaf, that it was with the greatest difficulty he could be made to understand the questions put to him. He saw the prisoner on the day in question, at the Crown at Wynch ; it was about half-past six in the evening. The prisoner and his compa. don went out first. I went ten minutes after. I saw both go down the high road. About seven, as I passed in my cart, one came on one side, and one on the othe r. The man not here was the wan who first amended the cart ; he had a stick in his hand half& yard long, and struck me two or three times. The prisoner struck me also. I did not think m t i ben life would be worth one farthing. They robbed me of every hi ny, and every shilling 1 had. They took what. ever they could nd; one sovereign, 71 shillings, and half-pence. I never showed them one shilling ; they right real robbed for it. It was betwixt light and dark ; there wu a cloud over the moon. B the Coustr—l bad seen the pris oners before, at the Crown, at W ynch, that same evening ; Br twen is the name of the land lord. (The witness wu mistaken in the name of the sign, but there is only one public house there, and it is kept by Brightwen.) I got very much injured indeed, and did not thinker any thing but dying. After they had done It, I said, " I know you, and I'll have you." The Flames Is one as safe u I am here to speak. The prisoneruked how the men were dressed P—The witness said one had a blue coat, dark trousers, boots, and spurs on. The other had such a dress u made him look very big. He had a fustian slop on, and a dark jacket underneath; the slop came below his knees. The witness mentioned a conversation that he overheard. BaronVstto f you were as deaf as you are now, how could you hear them ? The witness did not give a very satisfactory answer to this question. Another witness deposed to seeing the prosecutor and the pri. Nonni at the public.house at Wynch. It was not the Crown but the Maid's Head (thought to have been intended for Queen Eliza. beth's.) He heard the prisoners asking about the prosecutor certain questions as to his property. A red net worn by the prisoner was produced, and part of the cost he wore, which Indicated rather a se. vere struggle between the prisoner and those who apprehended him. The coat had been torn to pines. The prisoner, who was of pale visage, but of determined counts. panes, with a mixture of sinister expression, put several questions to the witnenes, but which did not help him much. The prosecutor was recalled by the I.aned Judge, and asked if he did not say before the Magistrate that It was the other man, and not the pr is oner, who beat him and made his head bleed? With great difficulty an answer was procured. At last he said, " No, I did not." Mr. Boys Aldham....l was the magistrate's clerk on this occasion, and heard the witnesses examined. The depositions were put into his hand. They are correct, and were fully explained to him. They were reed, and it appeased that he had ascribed the greater degree of violence to the other prisoner. J. Johnson, Governor of the Castle at Norwich, sworn--.—By the Cont"—ls the other prisoner in your custody ? Witness—He is. The Junos.—What is biz state and condition ?—His thigh pelvis, left arm, and all the ribs on the left side, are broken. His had also is injured. A large tumour is forming in the hollow of the back of his bead. He is as bad as he can be to be alive. How come be in this condition ?—He attempted to and from a height of more than 70 feet be tried to let hims elf by blankets and other things. They broke, and he fell almost the whole distance ; he had rebounded several times, and was insensible. There seems to be no hope of his life. The prisoner at the bar was all the while at the top of the wall, and we were obliged to ascend by a circuitous route to fetch him down. The prisoner was then called upon for his defence and said, " I near robbed the man in my life." After his Lordship had summed ap, The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. MI. Baron Vauttwax-..-I shall not direct record of the sentence nowt I shall consider of it, and in the mean time we shall bear further of the fate of the other prisoner. HORSHAM. Masai IS.

A respectable looking man, who represented that he and hi, t.i wily occupied premised in Old Compton-street, Soho, during ti last 30 years, appeared before Mr. CONANT, for the purpose of con municating a mysterious circumstance which had just occurred the house he had lately inhabited. He stated that his father di about three weeks ago, and having determined to remove front I: street, other parties had taken the premises, and entered into posse sion.. It appeared that as the new occupants were clearing out 'rubbish in the cellar they bad discovered the skeleton of a chi which they conveyed sway in a cart. Unpleasant rumours w, circulated that he knew something of the affair, and it was in or to clear his reputation that be now applied to the Magistrate. Mr. Corrarcr asked the applicant if he had acquainted the chill authorities with the circumstance; for if he guilty knowledge of the matter, he must naturally feel anxious an Inquiry ? The applicant said, he bad applied at the office of Mr. Allen, t' vestry clerk of the parish. Mr. CONANT directed Goddard, an officer, to accompany the ai plicAnt to one of the parish beadles, who would forthwith coition. nicate with Mr. (lell the Coroner, in order that an inquest mi g h sit on the remains of :tie child. John Downey, a decently dressed youth, was charged with tier following aggravated robbery : It appeared that a Mrs. Elizabeth Barton, residing in New Comp. ton-street, compassionating the prisoner's destitute condition, ocea atonally employed him as an errand boy, and on Saturday morning, after having given him his breakfast, she sent him on a message to Brokers'-row, with instructions for him to call on her again the fol. lowing morning. After he was gone, she missed a silver tea-spoon frtun the tea-board, and, suspecting he bail purloined it, she pro ceeded in search of him, and they returned together to her apart. menfu„ the prisoner expressing much apparent concern at her loss, and prete nd ing to assist in recovering the stolen property. It was afterwards ascertained that the prisoner had pledged the spoon within an hour after it was missing, at a pawnbroker's in High-street, Bloomsbury, in his own name. On being apprehended, he con fessed his guilt, and said that he ought to have known better; but having been out of regular employment for some time, he was ex. tretnely reduced.—He was fully committed for trial. THA DIES-OFFICE. DARING RoMBERIEII --- il/I;3E iftvia.—Yesterday Wittiani Robinson, a fellow of ferocious appearance, in the glob of a sailor,was brow t before Messrs. BRODERIP and BALLAXTINE, the s i tt i ng e M strays, charged with robbing the ship Frances Ann, no w lyi ng in t ate nver, under the following daring circumstances : It appeared from the evidence of Captain Charles Stewart, the master of the vessel, and Robert Taylor, the mate, that early yes terday morning they were awakened by a noise on board, and on going upon deck, after groping about for some time, they felt the prisoner, who was without his shoes, which he pulled off' to prevent his footsteps from being heard. After a desperate struggle they succeeded in securing him. and then discovered that he had broken open the captain's private cabin, and abstracted the master's clothes. nautical instruments, and books. He had also forced the sleeping cabin, and taken from a drawer • watch and seals, sonic silk hand. kerchiefs, a pencil-case, and other articles, and the thief even had the audacity to remove the pillow on which the captain was sleeping, and take from the pocket of his small clothes a few sovereigns and some silver. The mate's chest was also disturbed, and the property taken out. George White, a Thames police-officer, produced the property stolen, and said hat the prisoner had taken a waterman's boat to go on board the ship. The witness then produced a pair of shoes found upon the deck of the Frances Ann, which the prisoner h a d pulled off. They belonged to the captain of another vessel who was also similarly robbed of eleven sovereigns and other property. The captain, however, could not stop to prosecute as he was about to set sail. On their way to the office the prisoner made a most de termined resistance, and knocked witness down, and he was com. wiled, in self-defence, to adopt severe measures to secure him. Robert Mawton, the jailer, said the prisoner was an old offender, who had been repeatedly committed for similar offences from that office. He was :a noted "tier ranger," and visited and plundered the tiers of shipping in the river during the night. The prisoner behaved in a most outrageous manner, and staggered about the bar pretending to be drunk. He repeatedly attempted to strike the witness, and in defence made the usual remarks, that he had mistaken the Frances Ann for his own ship; it was all a mis. take. Mr. BALLANTINE committed the prisoner for trial, and said he hoped the case would be followed up at the sessions. The prisoner was a desperate character, and ought to be speedily sent out of the country. COACH ACCIDENT.—At Nottingham Assizes, last week, Mr. Webster, Surgeon, lleckmondwike, brought an action against Mr. Nelson and other proprietors of the Courier coach, to recover compensation in damages for injury received by h im through the negligence of the defendants' coachman, he having driven the coach against the post of a turnpike gate, near Notting. ham, by which Mr. Webster was jerked off, and received so much injury tint he is not yet recovered. The d -deuce was, that the horses were quiet and the coachman sober; that they were proceeding at an ordinary pace, when the bones shyed at a candle flashing in the window of the toll.house. Mr. Baron Darrow said if this defence were good, no action could ever be sustained in such cases.—Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 6001. BIRTHS._ At Brighton, the lady of Lieut.-Colonel Sir W.
