A Calvinist or independent Chapel. at •Lincoln, his, during the last fu ght, been made the theatre of a singular exhibihon. Some of the mine( s of the chapel, without alleging the slightest objection to the religious principles or inoral character of the suer, who has officiated there 18 years, wished to displace him, for the purpose of introducing a stranger; but on consultitag the society (which consists of 9 male and 22 female communicants,) found a large majority iu fasoor of re taining their old pastor. The trustees thereupon took foritible possession of the clivel, and in one instance dragged the Minister (whilst surrounded by his conyre gattot►. and in the solemii exercise of religious worship) from his pulpit. The society in their turn deteluimed not readily su abatillon their right to use the chapel and appoint their preacher; and by way of keeptna posses sion, absolutely slept in their pews several nights, e•ta• blishisia a regatiar relief of guards, consisting principally of ladies, until they were filially expelled, "ci et arum.'" by the trustees.

On the 14th of May, having through the :11optaitibique channel, and on the took.out f i t7tlt t e island ofdolianna, the ship struck on a reef of rocks. After a full consideration of the difficulties of the situation, it was deemed prudent by the captain and crew to ab a ndon th e s hip in their bests, and to make for the nearest lands which proved to be the island of Alayotta. Here they landed, and having set up souse tents on the shore, were enjoying a state of comparative rasni fort after the dangers they had escaped. They were shortly after, however, bur:minded by a party ut the natives, ail anne.l with spears, attended by the King of Alayotia's brother. and • man who could stark English, who lnotight a lctt.r from the Kim , of •.‘layotta to desire thesis to leave that place, where they would certainly be plundered of all they possessed, and repair to the town, where every assistance they ft:quirtsl would be afforded them. Thev in consequence struck their tentethe next morning, and proceeded down to the sown. which lay about ten miles to the leeward, in their boats, here they prolapsed, having little con fidence in the King's professions of amity, to remain only a few hours, and then steer for Johanna. The Captain meantime waited on the King in person, who received hint very civilly, but finding I ' determined to depart, gn•w furious, and insisted, at all events. on his remaining three flays. There was no option left, therefore, but to comply with the best grave possible. About sunset of the evening of their arrival, the King of •Alayotta, with a large party of the nativist, went down and took out of the boats . all the trunks and bags. and put them into his own house. where they remained until the evening of the lertli ut lay„ when t.',e King sent word they might go away. T.,dr tom!. s and bags weer delivevtil to them, but the locks of the trunks had been broken, all the bags had been opened. and their best clothes bed • been taken out. A, soon as the King dept. ted. a new and more extensive plunder commenced on the part of the natives. who took away all the quadrants, the caronometer. two watches, and the medicine chest. eriptriin, irritated at the loss of utticles so Essential to their safety, demanded to see the King, for the purpose of reclaiming them ; but the growls put their hand to their swords, and threatened that if' he and his crew did not lease the island that evening, all their throats hold be cut. They were compelled, therefme, to embark and set sail for Johanna, where, after encountering infinite perils, they arrived at midnight on the 21st. At the time of their landing, the K tag of the island airs waiting for them on the shore, and received them with the utmost kindness; he even provided them with quarters in his own ipouse; and during their stay, which was ten slays • treated them a ith the utmost iiospitality, The Captain and Ins mates dints] every day at the King's table, and the crew had a large house to themselves.

Tuesday four cart loads of muskets, being the whole unemployed fireiocks belonging to the La. narkshire militia, arrived in Edinburgh from Hamilton, attended by some of the staff of that corps, and were lodged in the Castle. This, it is supposed, is a measure of precaution adopted by the Lord Lieutenant of the county of Lanark, in con sequence of the present disturbed state of the west of Scotland. A highly interesting statement is given in a Stock holm article brought by the Flanders mail, of the Emma and impunity with which the Swedish Con sul at Marseilles opened a basket of letters, amount, ing to between 5,000 and 6,000, which had just arrived from Tunis, and hundreds of which were ascertained to have been written by persons infected with the plague. The precautions used by the Swedish Consul were two--.he sweered his hand♦ with pomatum, composed of wax, oil, and sulphuric acid ; and when he had opened each letter, he immediately steeped it in vinegar Nib nly at the Lazaretto would have any thing to do with them, and the Directors of the Lazaretto recommen ded that the packets should be burnt. As sonic. of them, however, contained official communications from the Consuls at Ennis to their respective European Governments, Baron Willesstedt acted as judiciously as courageously in saving such documents om destruction. The managers of the meeting to be held at Dun dee, on the 4144 at Manchester, and the distress of the labouring classes, scot an invitation to the Hon. 11 illium Maule to attend and preside, as the repre• sentative of the county, the Chief Magistrate having declined to call the meeting. Mr. Mau►e replied, that it would be improper, and even presumptuous, in him to preside at a meeting of a town where he was neither an inhabitant nor a proprietor; that he considered himself at the disposal of the county, and should feel it his duty to attend a meeting of the freeholders, justices of the peace, and commissioners of supply, if any such should be called, to consider the above important subjects.
