METHODIST BRANCH MISSIoIvAHY SOCIETY FOR THE LOUTH CIRCUIT. [FROM A CORRESPONDENT.] On Tuesday the 18th of July was held in Louth chapel the third anniversary of the Methodist Branch Missionary Society for the Louth Circuit; H. R. Allenby, Esq. in the Chair. On the pre ceding evening the Rev. George Cnbitt, of Boston, preached the introductory sermon from Gen. xxii. v. 18, in which he described the blessings derived to man through Jesus Christ ; shewed that every individual receiving those blessings became, by their influence on his heart and conduct, ■ blessing to society ; and proved that the blessings of the gospel were adapted in their nature, and designed by their author, for universal extension. The Rev. Samuel Leigh, • Missionary lately returned from New South Wales, deliv4ed in the forenoon of Tuesday a very appropiate discourse from Romans, xv. v. 20, 21. At the meeting in the afternoon several very in structive, eloquent, and impressive speeches were delivered by the Rev. Messrs. Taylor, Gregory, Hannah, Leigh, Agar, and others ; but though all these speeches were truly excellent, that of Mr. Leigh most attracted our notice. This Gentleman gave us some very interesting information relative to the spiritual and social state of the inhabitants of New Zealand, amongst whom he resisted about six weeks just before he sailed for England. The cir. cumstances he related were the more firmly be lieved, end more deeply felt, because lie himself had witnessed them ; sod, on account of their im portance, we could wish to have stated them in that minuteness of detail its winch we heard them ; bat as such statement would occupy too much of our Paper. we shall content ourselves by wring one or two of the must striking facts. One day, whilst Mr. Leigh was walking on the beech, conversing with a native chief, his attentiou was arrested by • vest multitude of people on a neighboming hill. He inquired the cruse of such a concourse, and, on being told that they were rouging c /ad, sold hid • .. illt , assembled to eat him, he • netlistely proceeded to the place, in order to ascertain t h e truth of this alarmierg info, motion. Being arrived, at the village where the people wv.e collected, he asked to are the boy. They appeared much agitated at his pre sence, and prirtitularly at his request, as if con scious of their guilt; and it was only lifter very urgent subedit . that they directed him towards a large fire, at sortie distance, where they , said he would find him. As Ire was going to dr piece, he passed by the bloody spot 011 which th e h ea t' of thi s unhappy victim had been cut off; sod, on ap proaching the tire, he was not a little mottled at the 'tablets sppearance of a savage looking man, of gi. gautic stature, entirely naked, and seined with an axe. Mr. Leigh, though iiiwarilly intimidated, manifested no sympton of fear,. but boldly demand ed to see the lad. The cook (for such was the ()CCU. potion of this terrific monster) theta held him up by his feet. He appeared to he about 14 years of age, and was about half roasted. Mr. Leigh returned to Village, where be found severe, ',rewired, of the wove, seated in • circle. with a quantity of eoowery (a sort of sweet rotator) before them, 'widow for the roasted body of the youth. In this company were thews to him Me parents qf the child, expecting to share in the horrid feast ! His heart melted within him. After reasoning with them for about half an hour, on the inhumanity and wickedness of their con duct. he prevailed %Sidi them to give up the boy to be interred. and thus prevented them from per forming the most cruel. u n natural, arid diabolical act of which fallen man can be guilty. The following is another instance of the barba rity of this people, which, in atrocity, even ex ceeds the emir. A few years ago, a Captain (whose name, as well as that of his ship, we do not distinctly remember), called at New Zealand to procure a quantity of timber. The natives, in order to revenge an injury which the Captain had done to a young Chief, laid a plot for the destruc tion of the whole crew. They agreed to supply the Captain with the wood Le wanted, hut relived to carry it to the ship till he had inspected it On shore. This towelled condition raised • suspicion of dan ger in the mind of the Captain, who therefore did not leave the vessel for three days, and took care to be well armed when any of the natives were on board. His apprehensions, however, soon began to die away, alld, being anxious to prosecute his voy age, lie ventured on shore, accompanied by a select number of his men. _Agreeably to a scheme pre viously concerted, 31 party of the Zealanders were stationed iii and about the ship, and the others on the beach. These fell upon and murdered the Captain and his companions as soon as they reached the lend, and having put on the sailors' clothes. they rowed towards the vessel.— This was the appointed time for a general mas sacre. Those natives who had remsined in the ship, perceiving who were in the boat s immedi ately slaughtered the whole crew. with the excels. lion of only three persons. Their bodice, sixty. seven in number, were all taken on shore, roasted, and eaters.—This account Mr. Leigh had from the mouths of persons who were actors in this tragic scene, who also skewed him many of the bones of the unfortunate sufferers, and the remains of the vessel. The three individuals who were spared were living in New South Wales when Mr. Leigh left that country. Several other equally interesting facts were re lated by this pious and worthy Missionary, which cannot be inserted here on account of the inadmis sible length to which they would extend this pars- Amish. Let it suffice to notice, that, rintvrith shielding the almost incredible &wily of these cannibals, they are remarkably ingenious awl en terp • • g, very respectful to Europtaus, and dis covered a surprising willingness and capacity to re ceive instruction, and to do as they are taught; and that Mr. Leigh intends shortly to rail, with six other minister., for New Zealand, and other islands in that part of the Pacific Ocrau.—(Boston (se. Mu%) HIGH 7'REASON. SPECIAL COMMISSION. GLASGOW, JULY 94. The Court met this day, at nine o'clock, for the trial of Williams A7'l►ttyre, who had been arraigned along with Wilson, already convicted. The LORD ADVOCATS stated, that it was not his intention to lead proof against the Prisoner. It was the wish of the Crown Lawyrts to prosecute those only who had been leaden in the late disturb. ances ; and, as it appeared that the Prisoner now at the bar was not so guilty as loins others who had absconded, he would allow him to he discharged. His Lordship stated, that he would consider it leis duty to watch those individuals, and, ►f possible, to apprehend them, and still to bring them to trial for the crimes th'iy had committed. The LORD PRIESIDINT addressed the Prisoner. He told him that he was bound, in gratitude, to reverence those laws by the exercise of whose leniency he was about to be discharged. The persons who had beers engaged in the late treasonable proceed ings pretended to be iu search of their rights— the rights of their forefathers. This conduct could only originate in ignorance of the history of their country ; fur they now enjoyed ten timer more li berty than their fathers ever did. If the Prisoner had seen the trial of Nilson, he would have seen a, poor man tried with the same solemnity, the same impartiality, and the same regard to justice, that the richest num could have been. The Prisoner was t h en admonished to return to the bosom of his family, send to act more circumspectly in future. The Prisoner was accordingly discharged. Matthew Boyle, Ake. Graham, and ,/aim M a y, were next put to the bar. The Low ADVOCATE Iliddrentd the Jury in the same terms ■s on the former case, they having been !,, previously sword); and they found the Prisoners Ilot (;uilty. The Loan PRES/DEFT then admonished them In gnarl against such conduct in future, and he bone+ that they would riot be again deluded by designing turn; if so, nothing hut the severest purindliment the law nu inflict will be administered. His Lord ship begged of them to return to sobriety sod hon►.t industry. and dismissed them from the her. John May then returned thanks to the Court and Jury, in name of himself and companions, and promised to be no more found before the Court. Campbell and George Allan were dia. posed of in the same mintier. The LORD JUSTICE CLERK, previous to dis. missing them from the bar, addressed them in very pathetic manner, and advised them. on return. log in the booms of their families, that they should! fear Gad, honour the King, and meddle not with those who are given to change. The LORD ADVOCATE, in addressing the Court, observer), that the ex.ensive manufactories of the Lord Provost of this city, and of several other Gesitlernen; bed not •track work on the ba of April, which he attributed to the influence they had over their men. and he hoped the toaster ma. nufacturers and Gentlemen of the country would assemble no the first appearance of any such dis. order. The motives of the Crown Lawyers. in adopting • lenient line of conduct, were to make no more examples than was absolutely necessary; end, as he believed that the spirit which led to the late disturbances in this pert of the country was ►ubsiding, they were not disposed to proceed against any or the Prisoners. He then slimier' to the state of the police of the country, and ex pressed his fears that it was not so good as it ought to be; for if it were so, many guilty individuals would not have been able to escape. In the, course of the day repeated allusion was made to the Lord Advocate discharging the arraign against Graham. Our readers will recollect, that when he was arraigned he wished to Weird Guilty; but on the advice of the Lord President he pleaded Not Guilty. This act of kindness, on the part of the public prosecutor, was particularly pointed nut to the Prisoners as air additional ground of gran. lode. This bring all the cases before the Court, Wilson was brought up for sentence. and bring told that he had now an opportunity of speaking to the Court. why sentruce of death should not be pronounced against him, he stammered out a few words, in an incoherent manner, cud was advised by the Lord President to communicate with his Counsel, as he might use expressions which would be detrimental to him, having been recommended to the clemency of the Court by the Jury. Mr. MOREAU then said • few words fur him. The LORD PIRSIDENT then addressed him nearly as follows :-- 44 Janies Wilson, you must be con vinced of the impartiality and fairness with which the proceedings against you hive been conducted. From the ezeresse of your right of challenge. the Jury by which you have been found guilty may he considered as chosen by yourself; and the crime they have foetid you guilty of is the most dreadful that can afflict any nation. All other crimes are trifling when compared to it ; it strikes at the root of the whole fabric on which our happiness is founded. The horrors of • civil war, where citizen is contending against citizen, with deadly malig nity, is far more to be dreaded than the most bloody foreign contest. No doubt, it was never dreamt by any rational being, that the violent people with whom you were connected could be ultimately suc cemful ; but the intermediate evils your mischief might have produced are terrible to think of. The rights and liberties of the peaceable and loyal part of the community are to be protected as well as those of the turbulent and disaffected ; and when they were pleased with the liberty they enjoyed they were not to be disturbed by the factious pro ceedings of the evil-disposed. I advise you most sincerely to think seriously of your eternal interests, as you are shortly to appear at the mercy seat of Christ, and I beseech you to consider well the errors of your pest life, and make good use of the short time allotted to you in this world. Remem ber that the justice of God is as inflexible as his mercies are infinite ; and I trust you have not thrown off all allegiance to your Heaveuly Sovereign as it appears you have done to yeur earthly out. The ministers of religion of every sect and persua sion will be ready and willing to assist you in pre paring for the concerns of your immortal soul. The recommendation of the Jury shall most certainly be transmitted to the proper authority, and I sincerely hope tint mercy will be extended to you ; but it is often necessary for the Government to consider the expediency of those recommendations, and the power vested io the Crown is assuredly not exercised capriciously, but for the general safety and pros perity of the State. I advise you, however, to pre pare for the utmost extreme ; and if mercy be ex tended to you, you will riot be the worse man for the attention isich you may give to your religious conceive. The sentence of the law is, that you be drawn on a hurdle to the place of execution, on the 30th of August, and after being hung by the neck till you be dead, that your head be severed from your body, and your body cut in quarters, to be at the disposal of the King ; and the Lord have mercy upon your soul." The Prisoner was then takers from the bar, with out shelving any signs of agitation, and confined in one of the iron rooms. The LORD Passim:we concluded the business with an admirable address, in the course of which he observed that he was afraid the upper ranks were not so religious as our fathers. He remarked , that civil commotion feeds to military despotism. and that liberty without religion ends M licentiousness. The Court them adjoisrued till the 47th November. PAISLEY, JULY The Special Commisdoa met here t o-day. The Judges present were the Lord Justice Clerk and ,Lard James Speirs, weaver in Johnstede, and Jeha Lang. weaver in Kill's:chin, two of the perilous CIVIL SIDE. EY•NS C. DIiST. This was an action by a linen-draper of Unser. to recover the amount of a bill delivered iu the amount of 404 for goods supplied to the DeGio:. ant's wife while she lived serarale frotu her bur band, with the Plaintiff's knowledge. Mr. GURNEY and Mr. 13431. LAND were for the Plaintiff; ■nd Mr. MattnYare and Mr. Seijeak 'FADDY for the Defendant. The sale and delivery of the goads in piestion were regularly proved. It was sioggestid in 11,e opening that the Defendant, by a series of.the must cruel acts, had driven hie wife from his sous. shit had literally turned her out of doors. and that the goods supplied her by the Plaintiff were necessaries suitable to her condition. Several witnesses were called to prove these facts, but, on their crosaex■mtuation, it appeared that the Defendant. a wealthy brewer, at Chatham, had married Mrs. Best, after she had been for some time living with him in a state of concubinage; that pre •ifions to that time she was a notorious Cypriot); that after they were married they lived like cat and dog, and generally fought most furiously after din ner, when both were in a state of intoxication ; that ■t length Mrs. Best voluntarily eloped from his house, carrying off with her a carriage load of all sorts of wearing apparel ; she had two doze's pairs of new silk Blocking', two dozen pairs of new shoes, • The CRIEF JUSTICE, under these circumstances, ■nd before the Defendant's cast was gone into, ruled that the action would not lie. There were iu fact two defences to the action. In the first place, Mrs. Best had voluntarily eloped ; and, in the second, she had carried oft such quantities .•t clothing, that she could not be said to be in watt of necessaries. A tradesman, like the Plaintiff, trusts a married woman at his peril, if he knows that she is living separate from her husband. I f she was living with her husband, the case would be quite differeut.—Nonsuited. Printed fur G. and W. B Whittaker, 13, Ave Maria Jane, London; J. Parker, and R.

Afirr relating the gallant action, iu which 700 of his tura repulsed more than 2,000 of the Spaniards, he thus continues : * The advantage gave me the highest hope of being able to advance on Santa Martha, and co-operate with Urdaneta's division in the reduetion of that place: but say troops, who bad long bees discontented at the privations they endored, and particularly at the want of pay, which I was utterly un able to give them, refused to advance a step further unless all their claims were satisfied iu full. 1 represented to them the impossibility of complying with their retieest, and urged them to march fur Santa Martha, eisgagiug to give them the whole OM the capture of that place. This had no effect,and they threatened to burn and pleader La Maybe, and de sert to the Spaaiards, where they would be certain, they mid, to be liberally paid. The Spaaisrde, however, ad re treated so far after their last I 1 r G•is t , that there was us prosi. Witty of overtaking them.
