The Journal de Bre:eller contains the follo*ing account of the state and discipline of the prisons of Ghent. The other gaols in the Netherlands ire conducted in much the, same manner : All the prisoner( ale employed in various labours, one Oft Of the produce wing to the 'treasury, and the other to the prisoners tbemselvee. They are occupied in the manu facture of different articles for the services of the war, marine and colonial departments, besides stuffb, and other articles, necessary in the prisons. The proportion retained of the earnings of the prisoners in favour of the State, is 5-10ths from those simply im prisoned as a punishment ; 8-10ths from those detained by military authority ; and 7-10ths from those who, be. sides imprisonment, are condemned to hard labour. The surplus is divided into two parts, one of which is imme diately made over to the prisoners is pocket money, and the other accumulates till their departure, when it is given them. Divine service is performed in the prisons in a suitable manner. Distraction is afforded to the men by one of their own sex, and to the women by a female. The profits on the liquor sold in the' prisons are for the benefit of the prisoners, end are distributed in the shape of reward s t o these of the prisoners. who may have shown the greatest degree Of defitity and intelliger.ce in hit work. These premium' dWributed twice in the yet*. ' There' are a ' two accounts of the prisoners conduct kept, one by the governor of the prison, and the other by the superin tendent of the works. These accounts are transmitted twice a year to the Government.

On the Sunday, accord ing to announcement, these arise men appeared on the spot selected; they were both bearded like the pard, and had an extraordinary appearance. One of them, the speaker, our informant observes, had an horn and an iron rod, the Litter of which he constantly flourished, to the no small dismay of those standing sear him. There were many persons assembled, from motives of curiosity, to witness their conduct. The horn, we are given to understand, is emblematical of the ram's horns, spoken of in the Bible, and wr.eli the orator stated, when he sounded, the rege nerated could assemble together from all quarterq of the world, and be gathered under Johanna's wings. His ad dress was a mixture of absurdity and ignorance. One can scarcely credit that the present era can be the 19th cen tury of enlightened England. How disgraceful is the scene we above allude to, andwhat perversion of the truths contained in that sacred Book, from which these persons maintain they have their authority, does such conduct dis play.—rymoulli Paper. CONSECRATION OF A JIILISH STNACIOOUE.--011 Fri day last, it two -o'clock in the afternoon, a total suspension of business took place among the professors of the Hebrew faith in Manchester, oh account of the consecration of.their sew synagogue, wiaim h solepin ceremony was performed by the Rev. 31. S. Openheim, chief reader to the Liver pool congregation, who also composed the music for the orchestra. The synagonue, which is in every respect suit able for the performance of divine worship, exhibited on being entered a grand and imposing effect, being decoratedl as on the sacred festivals. At three o'clock the e ld ers and l chief members, preceded by the reader, and accompanied by severs! youths Is chanters, presented themselves at the inner entrance, singing. the following verse from the Iltith Nairn :—" Open to me the gate/J.of the iighteous, that I may enter, and praise the Lord." The doors being then thrown open, the procession moved on, bearing the holy rolls of the law under a crimson canopy; on reaching the Fates leading to the ark, was chanted from the same Psalm—" This is the gate of the Lord, the righteous shall enter." On the rolls being deposited in the ark, the reader, amending the desk, solemnly proclaimed the consecration it? dne form, concluding with another verse feam the above-qu o t e d Psalm—" Blessed be he who corneth in the mitre of' the Lord ; blessed be ye from the house of Cr . Lord." The afterno o n serv i ce then succee,sied, after t:idwas sung an appropriate and impressive Hebrew hymn, composed for the occasion, to which it would be im nosilde to do justice in a translation. The ark being now . hrow n open, the rolls of the divine law were carried round - , ;on seven times, the following Psalms being suc 'tainted :-91, 30, 21, 84, 122, 132, and 100.

' Mr. Fletcher preached in Leith'" for the last time Ibis season," as he himself expressed it, on Sunday. The fore noon collection was to be given in aid of the funds of ISO= ciety in Leith for the benefit of orphans whose fathers bate perished at sea, anti that of the afternoon was to be reserved thr the object which has brought the preacher to Scotland -the erection of his new chapel in London. The sermon was in the Old f?orth Leith church, and collections were made both when the congregation entered and left it. The boards appearej to be " weed heapit up wi' ba'pence," but with halfpence only. As the crush at the doors was great, in order that no one might go away without the opportunity of contributing, a person stationed himself in the main ! passage i:ith a soup -plate in his hand, as the people ! were dismissing. The church was very much crowded in the afternoon, not only the seats, but all the stand ' ing-room being occupied. Benches were also placed on a grass-plot ow the outside of one of the windows, *here some . persons who (lid not choose to encounter .the pressure in the church were accommodated. . Mr. Fletcher a. pronunciation, though broad, ih not that peculiar to Scotland, but that mongrel kind which some Scotsmen acquire, after they have been so long out of their !own country as to hare lost a little of their own wild wood note, but not so long as to have gained any thing better in ! its place. His utterance is • tud, and though his voice is powerful, he sometimes raises it so high that it fails him, and produces most horrible discordancy. This is the manner of his discourses, and it is, upon the whole, well suited to their m a tt er . I n place of striving to exhale the minds of his hearers, so as to It them for the cot,' templation of rell‘ion, he, brings religion down to their comprehensimi, by illustrations drawn ftom the most ,homely and every-day topics,—in this affecting to imitate the divines who preach*/ at the period of the Reformation. The consolation which a conedente IA divine support affords to those who are "rejsssidll'' pined of mete was what hessainly insiets4-00.6:4 of the passages Ns of Scripture which h e re in might lie Construed as having a distinct personal allusion, and these, too, he read with a mark e d em ph as i s . The iiiirtion he selected in the forenoon was the last chapter of Habakkuk, the closing verse of which is—" The Lord God is my, strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, anti he will make me to walk upon mine high places." The italics point out the words on which the emphasis was laid in reading. Before the dismissal of the afternoon congregation, Mr. Fletcher ie. timated that he would preach on the Calton Hill it' - 2 the! evening. Several chapels in Edinburgh, he said, Wonld have been opened to him ("Mark that," he interjeoted, " they were offered to me") could he have remained a while longer. He had at first expected to preach that evening in the largest Dissenting Chapel in the town (Mr. Scott's, Cowgate) ; the Managers and proprietors, with the.concurrence of the Clergyman, had offered him the use of it, but something had since touched the heart of the Minister, and that purpose was frustrated. The propri. *ors, anxious that he should preach upon their property, had next suggested that the serOu might be delivered on the green which surrounds the house, and which would contain 10,900 hearers ; but he (Mt. F.? answered them, " No ; 1 will goo and preach upon the Ca ton Hill ; I will do nothing which may seem to do violence to the feelings of your Minister." Men might charge him with enthu siasm, he added, but he was firmly persuaded that the finger of God was here, and that it was fore-ordained that be was to be the instrument Of some great work " upon that eminence." When Mr. Fletcher cattle in sight of the immense mul titude assembled oh the Calton-hill to receive him, there was an instantaneous rush towards him, and he was locked into the midst of a mob, where it was impossible for him to choose his own station. The table and a chair were ultimately handed over the heads of the mob, and when the preacher mounted them, he found himself in the midst of a natural amphitheatre, filled by a congregation more numerous perhaps than was ever before assembled to hear any one m'ntster preach, or perhaps any one human being speak. The ground ocetipied was the back part of the hilt, seen from the Win of Leith, forming a sort of bosom, in the hollow of which the preacher was sta tioned, surrounded by not fewer than twenty thousand persons. He requested any one from among the hearers, who might be able, to lead the rest in singing a psalm which he gave out. A young man accordingly came for ward, and mounting the erection la chair pla* upon s, 'table) from which Mr. F. tietuiendild, read the line, in the manner still practised in many parishes in Scotland, and was joined by the whole congregation in singing. When ' Mr. F. again mounted the chair, he read that part of St. Ilattliew s Gospel (ch. v. ver. 1-20) which gives an ac .eonnt of our Saviour's Sermon upon the Mount. Here, again there occurred a passage which it might be considered that the Rev. Gentleman wished to be applied to his own case ; it is in the 11th and 12th yams :—" Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say . all manner of evil a gai ns t y ou f a l se l y, f or my sa k e. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad ; for great is your reward in heaven ; for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." But the most remarkable allusion which this chapter was meant to convey was to the similarity of the situations in which the sermon of Christ, and that of Mr. Fletcher were delivered. " And seeing the multitude," the chapter begins, "he went up into a mountain ; and, • when he was set, his disciples came unto him : And he opened his mouth and taught them," &c.

The morninis service was performed in St. Peter a Church. The Rev. -P. Bulmer, A.M. read the service. I The Rev. August us C amp b e ll , l ate of Wallasey.; now of St. George's, Liverpool, preached the sermon. 4-Us text was, net. ii. 4, " Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou bast left the first love." the Rev. Clergyman diechursed ably upon his text, turning his argu ment appropriately upon the occasion. He spoke of the hostility to the Church Establishment which cer tain shallow, self-called philosophers and politicians of the present times show, drawing in their train a portion of the ignorant multitude. He spoke feelingly of the possibility of these agitators effecting some of their evil wishes upon the reverend establishment : " as in for. aver times had been, so, perchance, again might be per mitted that our Zion should be removed." 'He inquired into the causes of the defection from the Established Church, the chief of which he owned to be, the inatten tion of the legislature to keep the increase of the church establishment in just measure with the Increase of the people. Recently this error has been seen by the governs molt, and means have been put in action to remedy the evil, which God graht, said the preacher, may not be ton late. He sought also into the professed causes -if animosity to, or dissatisfaction with, the clergy—the affirmed luke warmness of their doctrinal discourses, the luxuriousness of their lives, and the indecorum of their manners and conversation. Wherein there was justice, or show of jus tice, in those complaints, he exhorted his brethren to amendment; wherein, as mostly is the case, they are un just and false, he proved that injustice, and exposed that falsehood. He urged, with earnestness, the necessity of the clergy being at least as active and industrious in their sacred calling, as the other orders of the community are; in the paisuit of theft honest and gainful callltsgs. Irweir a mild, dear, and most sensible discourse, and perfectly adapted to the occasion. The Bishop pronounced the Wessing from his seatbeside the pulpit. In a few minutes be took his seat at the altar. The clergy assembled around him, and after their names and titles had been separately read, he addressed to them his zharge. W lien we consider the person pronouncing this address, the persons to whom it was addressed, and the solemnity of the occasion, and then turn to think of ourselves, and the channel through which we are uttering our thoughts, we feel, we own, a strong sense of impropriety in taking upon us any sort of criticism of this discourse, though that criti dam were only, as assuredly it must be, praise. In such a circumstance as this, ours is the part of an humble and re spectful hearer only ; and a newspaper, where all that is light, trivial, and nonsensical, meet and jostle in ludicrous confusion, seems no fit place for recording the sentiments of reverence, or the feelings of serious gratification which the hearing of such an address may have created. We pray, then, that we may not offend in venturing, with modesty, and with much fear of offence, to express, in a line or two, our deep-felt sense of the excellence and suitableness of this discourse of the Right Reverend Prelate's. This was an address to his clergy only ; and never, for a moment, did he depart from the limited boundary which the put pose of his address ascribed. Addressing grave and intelligent men upon the important duties of their office, no ill-placed affectation of eloquence, nor any popular to pic, for any instant seduced his perfect good taste front the line of plain propriety. He spoke strongly of their duty as members of an estahlishment, to the ancient and well-pon dered laws and ordinances of which their obedience was due, and against. which none might take upon him to op pose his private opinion. He spoke of their moral and re ligious duties in a tone of amiable and earnest exhortation, commending to them, especially, that decent gravity of be haviour, in all their intercourse with life and society, which denotes the habitual occupation of the mind by the great cares and awful responsibility of their office. He pointed out some irregularities in clerical discipline and forms, which he, expressed his firm determination to oppose and to reprobate. He commended to their special care the charities more im mediately connected with the church, and with its minis ters ; and finally, in a tone of deep feeling, he prayed from them the same sympathy with his cares and duties, that he r felt and expressed for theirs' Never have we beard any address or discourse more per fectly excellent and suitable in every part—plain, earnest, unaffected, amiable, and sensible. It displays in this reverend prelate, a character devout, without,enthusiasm or bigotry ; strict without severity, and amiable without weak ness; above all, deeply via thoroughly imbued with reverence and love of the establishment of which he is a dignified member, and possessed with the deepest feeling of the duties which he owes to it, to secure it in its re verence in the national mind, and in its utility to the na tional character. The church was not much crowded. The Right Rev. Prelate dined in company with about forty-five of his clergy in the evening, at the King's Arms, Castle-street. We understand that, at the request of the Clergy, the Bishop consented to allow his address to be published. On Saturday night last, a serious accident took place at Hetton Colliery, by which four men unfortunately lost their lives. They were employed in sinking a shaft fur a new pit, when an immense quantity of sand fell in upon them, and completely covered them. From the weight of the sand, it is supposed their deaths would be instantaneous. The bodies of the deceased had not been dug out on Tuesday ; but we have not heard whether they have been mowed since that time.--Daritam Paper.

Il ' i r arAL artstz,vialisluiviiiAro cAnit The following letter is.published, in ,an Evening Paper, as from their correspondent. at Cadiz.. It relates more fully the circumstances of the late misundemtamting in that port ' between a French ship of war and in English packet. l'he lair was shortly stated in the Paris rapes " CADIZ, AUG. 22. "' Scarcely one day passes without bringing one party or another in collision With the French, in this truly unhappy city. The %Valtingham packet, Cap .ain Bullock, eight days from England, came in sight of The French squadron, at two o'clock on Tuesday, the 18th instant, and at a quer ter before three, under press of canvass, the wind favoura ble and fresh, she bore up alongside Of the French brig stationed at the entrance of the Bay to enforce quarantine regulations. The Commanding Officer now fired a gun, to bring the packet to, but whether it was owing to her be ing under press of sail at this moment, or to the obstinacy or stupidity of Captain Bullock, no notice was taken of the signal gun. Another gun was then discharged with ball, across her stern, and a third across her bow, successively, neither of which she noticed ; the French brig then made signal to the Commodore, and the jacket now let go her anchor outside the bay, and at a conskterable distance both from the brig and squadron. The Captain, being alarmed at such proceeding, lowered his boat, ..vith an intention to I go alongside the Admiral's vessel, to';ascertain what he should do; but the instant the Commoilare's vessel saw the boat lowered, she discharged d ball across his bow. The boats of the brig and the Commodore's ship were already manned with marines, and fast approaching the packet, the Captain of which remained petrified till their arrival, when he was informed that his conduct, in thus disobeying :heir orders, subjected him, if they chose, to severe penalties, and that he must, w ith out further delay/ weigh anchor, and proceed to the quarantine ground, and there remain until visited in a regular manner by the pratique boat. inether- Captain Bullock, of the packet, did not fully understand what was said to him, or, intimidated by thraistly I cannot say, but the fact is, he instantly weighed I anchor and stood out o f th e b a y w i t h the greatest expedi tion, without delivering the mail or having the least coo munication with Shore. The British Consul, all this time an eye-witness of what was going on, could not compte bend the meaning of the packet quitting Cadiz without tlt•t livering the mail. Night fast approaching, and the packet getting out of sight, no alternative was left for the British Consul than to send an express to General Don, of Gibral tar, to apprize him of the circumstance, and to request him to detain the homeward-bound packet, which was then at Gibraltar, till the arrival of the other, and to deliver to him the mail for Cadiz. Early the next Morning, the express arrived at Gibraltar, and when the news was 'partially cir culated, the whole garrison was in consternation. " Wednesday morning, about ten o'cl6ck, to the sur prise of all Cadiz, our gallant Captain, Bullock, hare up in sight of the French squadron; a second time. He re mained for some time off the Light-house, not knowing what he should do, but at last he determined to send his boat &afford with a flag of trace. However, this measure did hot succeed, es the brig manned her boats a second time also, and ordered the packet's boat back to the vessel. The Captain at length resolved to know the whole affair, and not doubting for a moment but France and England were at war, hoisted the white flag, and bore up to the quarantine ground. He was soon visited, in due form, by the health boat, and received pratique. Thus the af fair terminated. " About ten days ego a large convoy from Havannah owes off Cadiz light -house. A small French cruiser sta tioned there, informed the convoy they would not get ad mittance into Cadiz, but must proceed to Port Mahon, to perform quarantine. The convoy requested to be permitted to communicate with the shore, and to apprise-the merchants of the safe arrival of the different ships under convoy, and to receive ulterior instructions. The mode Of communi cation they would leave to the discretion of the French Commodore and Bowl of Health. This indulgence was refused them, though they had remonstrated pith the French, and at last supplicated them not to order the convoy to proceed to Port Mahon, as they Were hi dis tress, and one of the frigates dismasted, and otherwise in jured, from an incessant fire kept up by the Colombian privateers almost all the way from the Havannah, and that they were also informed several privateers were in waiting for them at Gibraltar, and the coast from Cape St. Vincent to the Straits was thick with those vessels. No thing could change the determination of the French Au. , thorities, and the convoy was ordered off; however, the Commodore asserts, that he offered to take from the con voy all correspondence which they might have brought from the Havannah and that quarter, either to the Govern tnent or to other individuals, but the Commander of the convoy refused to deliver up such correspondence into the hands of tne French. Under these circumstances the con voy steered to the Straits, and the morning following two of the vessels anchored in the Bay of Gibraltar, viz.: the Isabella and La Fama, and in 48 hours afterwards the letters which they brought (and, perhaps, passengers also), were safe in Cadiz. " General Aymerah makes his entrance into this city, as Governor, to-morrow. It is supposed his high spirit will not easily brook French control ; therefore, we may ex pect a short reign." OUTRAGE IN SCOTLAND. It is with much regret that we are again obliged to no tice the lawless operations of certain persons supposed to be combined cotton-spinners. The threats made that all the new workmen would be rooted out during the ensuing wine ter, are attempted to be put in execution with all the former malignity. B e ll, w h o so f ear l ess l y appeared against Kean, has, by repeated acts of intimidation, been forced to quit his employment, and has been wandering about idle for some time. There have of late heen sefi,:ral cases of assault upon the workmen termed " Nobs," in Messrs. Dunlop's mill. Since the mill commenced lighting last week, a crowd of several hundreds have every night lain in wait for the new hands, at the entrance to the work, and as soon as they appear (for safety they prudently come out in a body), a general huzza is got up, and a cry is raised —" There's the Nobs coming out." Brick-bats, stones, and mud are then hurled at them from all sides, and, from the darkness, their assailants are not easily identified. When they reach Clyde-street, matters get s worse. Nina hers whoare lurking in the closses join in the molestation, and they are insulted with the most opprobrious epithets, and pelted up the street. On Wednesday and Thursday nights affairs assumed a more serious aspect. The workers on their way were so pressed that they were divided from each other, and then they were stoned, and forced to take shelter In the first openings. Some who found refuge in the Police Office had been very ill-used, and made grievous complaints that they were not protected in following th , :ir lawful employment. A married woman, who works in the mill, was dreadfully agitated from the brutal ustre she had received. She was repeatedly knocked down, and her clothes were covered with mud. She was unable to go to work next morning. Writ. Graham, son of the wounded man, was particularly hooted and maltrer.ced. Another spinner was cut on the face with a stone, and they have all received injuries on the body. Some of the crowd were ob served to take stones out of their pockets, and throw them. For some time past every method h as been 'ttied to irritate the new hands to make them commit breaches of the peace, and thus bring them under public odium ; but this hav ing failed, assault has been resorted to. Two persons who have been actively concerned ih these acts of intimidation are to be tried in the Calton Police Court. It is absolutely necessary to appoint a guard to protect the worker. from the mill till they reach their homes.—Gfaxgow Chronicle. TATTERSALL'S. 31ofibir, SEPT. 12.

The whole line of barges down the shore was completely throng ed, and every avenue that command;:d a view of the scene was oc cupied long before the time of starting. St. Martin's bells ring a merry peal on the occasion. The dlstance to berowed iras as follows :—To start front buoys off Hungerford stairs, row round a boat moored oft the Speaker's house, down again round the Thames Police vessel off Strand lane. up again to, and round the boat off the Speaker's house, down again round the l'olize vessel, and up to the prize -wherry off Hun gerford. F;RST IiTAT.—At two o'clock the following men :ook their stations off Hungerford, viz.— Scat let—John Parry sod James Fagen. Yellow—Thomas liunford and James Davis. Blue—Thomas Yoking and Wilson Emery. White—John Brand and James Jones.. In a few minutes the sign a l gun tired. Blue took the lead and slowly passed by Yellow anti Scarlet; White followed-and at Waterloo-bridge the boats were within a fel yenta of each other. On coming up, Bins took rather an advanced position ; but SCarlet and White. seemed bent ou keeping them at work. However, by some mistake, Scarlet and li'hite fouled on rounding Waterloo-bridge ; and neither being inclined to give way, Yellow anti 131ue shot s-head, and came in first and second some distance a:head. . .

Chttvles Mills and Charles Dodd, Pink. John Reynolds and George Butcher, Orange. At starting, Orange got the lead, followed by Pink and Blatt. closely pressing on them. This was perhaps as good a match se has been witnessed during the summer. Orange and Pink put every nerve to work to get in first. In fact, they kept on est.h other's quarter the whole of the distance, and came in &It and second. GRAND LINAT.--Shottly after five o'clock the sifal gun fired ; and the following boats, ()range, Pink, Blue, an Yellow, went off to their moorings. In this instance the competitors had to row from the buoys down ?bond the Police vessel, up to the boat oti' the Speaker's house, down again round the Policy vessel, up again, and down to the prize wherry. At starting Pink seemed rathm to have the advanytge, but Blue and Orange soon got forward. and the contest ROW excited the most intense interest. • Betting ran very high, and Orange was the f a v our i te on board the accommodatiott barges. Blue, hOwever, was not without her friends, and very considerable sums changed hands. On coming up, the last heat. Orange was about tour boats' length a•head, and maintained het distance until she reached the prize. The successful competitorl jumped into her, and were carried on shore by their fellowswater. men at the stairs, amidst the loudest applause.
