tNGLESEY ELECTION. BEAU M A HIS, FEB. I7.—The nomination of a candidate to serve in the present Parliament, in place of Sir Richard Bulkeley, took place yesterday. The candidates are Mr. Meyrick, on the Conservative interest, and Mr. W. S. Stanley, brother to the Secretary of the Treasury, on the Reform interest. Mr. Stanley's friends are very sanguine as to the successful result of the contest, which will, no doubt, be a close one. There has been no contest here for the last fifty years, and the present one has created much interest. The show of hands was in favour of Mr. Mey rick, but that is not deemed of any consequence, as Mr. Stanley did not wish his friends to conic from their homes and occupations to afford him such useless support, being perfectly satisfied with their attendance on the polling days. At ten o'clock the High Sheriff, Hugh Beaver, Esq., opened the County Hall, after which an adjournment bad been agreed upon to the Castle area. After the writ, the Act against bribery and corruption, &e. had been read, HOLLAND GRIFFITH, Esq. proposed Owen Fuller Mey rick, Esq., as a fit and proper person to represent the county of Anglesey in Parliament.—(Loud cheers.) Major HAMPTON LEWIS seconded the nomination. He was a Conservative—a Reforming Conservative.—(A laugh.) It was time every man took his station to protect the Constitution. " Tempera mutantur, et nos mutamur in illis." The times were changed •; and the good old Whigs, he was so delighted to say, were in the ranks of the Con servatives.—(Cries of " Where ?") The present Govern ment called themselves Whigs ; they might call themselves what they pleased ; but they were of the principles of O'Connell and levelling. The Gallant Gentleman then alluded to the supposed Lichfield House compact, so often denied, and the Irish appointments, so very lately fully vin dicated ; and denounced the Justice Association of Ireland ; the spirit of that Association, he said, was vote by ballot, abolition of tithes, reform of the Lords, &c. The last phrase came glibly off the tongue ; but when they had abolished the Lords, they had done with the King.— (Hear.) The Protestant Church was on the verge Of destruction.—(Oh, bear.) The Gallant Officer then vin dicated the Preach war, and the debt it had entailed on the country, and further vindicated Mr. Meyrick from the charge of being opposed to Dissenting chapels, saying if any Dissenters wanted materials for building they should have them. Sir H. B. WILLIAMS BI;LKELEY, Bart., then stepped forward, and was received with loud cheering. In this country there were two parties, each professing to have the same end in view, but each pursuing it by a different course. The Tory party, of which Mr. Myrick was this day the representative, had for a long time held the reins of Go vernment ; and had not only acted contrary to the princi ples of the Constitution, but had inflicted great, and he feared irtemediable, injury on this country.—( Hear.) The Whigs, on the score of gratitude, deserved the confidence of every man who earns his bread, whether merchant, agri culturist, &c. ; because as a party they bad conferred great benefit on the country, and deserved its support.—( Hear.) It would be his pride to propose to them a gentleman, an honourable member of that party, and whose brother held a high and responsible office in the present Administration, —(Cheers.) Let them cast their eyes over the acts of the Tory Government during the period of their rule. They hail always resisted the establishment of popular rights, and the abolition of monopolies. They had not attempted any ting to benefit the people ; but three-fourths of their time had been wasted in a long and protracted war ; a war, the policy of which was then greatly doubted, and which doubts were now increased ; but even admitting it to be just, it was carried on in the spirit of wilful profligacy and extrava gance, and it bad ended by leaving this country 800,000,0001. in debt.—( Hear.? But that was not all—the Tories at the conclusion o that war bound us neck and heels to that iniquitous confederation called the Holy Alliance, the sole object of which was to prevent liberal institutions being imparted to any country or state.—(Hear, hear.) He begged to propose to them as a fit and proper person to represent this county in Parliament, a gentleman of equal respectability to the gentleman just nominated, of large possesSions, strict integrity, high moral worth and unim peachable independence—W. 0. Stanley, Esq., of Pen rhos.—(Loud cheers.) _ CHARLES EVANS, Esq., of Henblas, shortly seconded the nomination of Mr. Stanley. Mr. MEYRICK then came forward, and was received with very general cheering. He had wished his canvass to be conducted fairly and good-humouredly. Let them call the Government what they would—it was nothing to him. —(Hear, hear.) He could not support any measure which would separate the connection between Church and State.—(Hear.) That connection had conferred blessings not only on the Church, but the land, and he hoped it would long remain. —(Hear.) With respect to vote by ballot, universal suffrage, and all such things, they did not meet with his approbation, and he would never support them ; but he did not mean to oppose such changes in Church and State as were necessary.—(Loud cheers from the Meyrickites.) Mr. STANLEY was received with loud cheering by hi s partisans. He would now speak of measures likely to be brought under the consideration of Parliament, and to which, if elected, he would give his best consideration. The first measure was reform in the Municipal Corporations of Ireland. That just measure had last year been refused by. •the Lords, and was now again on its passage through the Commons. He should support that measure as an act of justice to Ireland. He asserted it to be gross injustice to refuse the same rights to Ireland as to England and Scot land. Why should Britain have the stain upon it—this laud with its boasted liberty, of being the only Christian state that excludes from civil rights people who conscientiously differcm matters of religion ? Was not this the case with the Catholics and Dissenters ? If returned to Parliament, he would assist the Government in effacing this stain. He approved of the policy of the present Government. He affirmed that the Ministers were entitled to the thanks or the country for having carried out the leading principles of their Government—Peace, Reform, Retrenchment. They had- maintained peace for six years, though their political opponents said they could not do so for six months. - With regard to Poor-taws for Ireland, he was of opinion they were requisite. The Hon. Candidate.concluded amid loud and continued cheering. At the conclusion, the High Sheriff called upon the meeting to declare who was the candidate of their choice, by a show of hands. He declared it had fallen on Mr. Meyrick, which was the signal for some tolerable uproari ous shouting on the part of his friends. Colonel J. HUGHES then, on the part of Mr. Stanley, demanded a poll, which, of course, was acceded to. Mr. INIEYRICY then proposed the thanks of the meeting to the High Sheriff, which was carried unanimously. The polling is fixed for Monday and Tuesday. THE SUN NEWSPAPER.—We tender cur acknow -ledrn:ents to the spirited proprietors of The Sun, for the se co d edition of that journal, containing the conclusion of the proceedings in the recent important trial, " Lord de-Roos v. Cumming," and w!sich were ceived on Sunday morning.— Derbyshire Courier. A formidable opposition has risen up, headed by Sit George Chetwynd, against the proposed railroad between Tanaworth and Rugby. CAPTAIN BRENTON'S NAVAL HISTORY, DE DICATED BY PERMISSION TO HIS MAJESTY.—WC are sure our readers will hear with much pleasure that this truly valuable and interesting book is now completed by the publication of the Ninth Pat t. The whole work thus forms two large octavo volumes, containing nearly 1,400 closely printed pages, with 23 portrr.its, plans, &e., and is published at the low price of 31s. 61., ferming the cheapest, and at the same time tile most complete, naval history ever pro lured ; and which will, no doubt, be soon found, not only in the library of every officer, but also in that of every private gentleman in the kingdom. The town is beginnity , to flit, and many parties are announced. The following dinners were given on Saturday : By the Earl of Carlisle. in Grosvenor-place ; the Countess of Charlemont, in Lower Grosvenor-street ; Lord Maryhorough, in Saville-row ; the H on . M r . V ernon an d Lady Elizabeth llarcourt, in Hanover-square ; Lerd Cowley, in Grosvenor street ; Sir George Rose, Kim, in Gower-street ; Mr. Leader, in Stratton-street ; the C oun t ess o f Charlevile, in Cavendish-square ; Mrs. Bates, in Portland place ; Mr. Lyon, in Grosvenor-street ; and Mr. Drummond, at Charing cross. And yesterday, by the Duke of Norfolk, in St. James's square ; Countess Stanhope, in Great Stanhope-street, Park lane ; Sir John Cam Hobhouse, Bart., in Berkeley-square; Mr. Rowles, in Stratton-street ; Mr. Moore, in Cleveland ro.v ; Mr. Boddington, in Upper Brook-street ; and Baron Lionel Rothschild, in Hill-street. PICCIOLA.—At a period when the frivolity of mo dern works of fiction, and more especially novels of artificial life, excites the general condemnation of criticism, a concep tion at once so bold and simple, so moral and poetical, as that of M. de Saintine, should be received with favour. Picciola is the most striking and original tale that has appeared since the triumphs of " Elizabeth" arid " Online"; or may, perhaps, 'be more aptly described as such a version of Robinson Crusoe, as Silvio Tellico might have conceived in the affecting loveli ness of h.s " Prigioni." An extensive bed of coal has recently been disco vered in the Faugor district, of a quality superior to any which has ever before been found in India. The position of the field is about 12 miles south of the Gurrawarra, at the foot of the hills. " The mere discovery, however," says one of the radian journals, "is of but little importance, unless Government come forward and bring the mineral to the light of day. Here the field for private enterprise is dis proportionately large for the few- labourers in it : indeed, we believe we might possess a second Potosi without the small est diversion of ptivate funds being made to work it. It therefore rests with Government to make the discovery use ful to themselves and the country, and towards this they have many natural facilities. The distance to Mcerzapoor 13 con siderable, but the route is open and very accessible for car riages ; indeed, we do not see why a railroad should not be formed at once." It is said that the Government are deterred from availing themselves of these facilities by an ill-judged fear of expense. PRICES OF STOCK' THIS 1)A f Ai' i. 141: trt..l.oCK.

The publication of TIM SUN NEWSPAPIR commenced this day at 55 minutes past Three o' Clock. 6 - * 0. _ t u f ) ,4N gTta, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING. FEBRUARY 20, 1837. The Morning Post, in an article on the subject of the Irish Municipal Corporation Bill, says, " The question of this evening is eminently a practical one. It is a question the right settlement of which must de pend upon a sound, impartial consideration of the cir cumstances of the case. Before this consideration has been gone into, and in total ignorance of the facts which the Opposition may bring forward to throw light upon the question of what is expedient, and what is practicable in this matter, the Ministers have bound themselves to a particular course, and have gone so far as to say, that if they fail in it, they will consi der it incumbent on them to resign the Government." One would suppose from this passage that the question of Irish Municipal Reform had never been mooted be fore ; that it was altogether a new question ; and had never been made the subject of grave and . attentive consideration by both Houses of Parliament, for no inconsiderable portion of last session. Our Contem porary must have been sadly in want of a rational cause of complaint against Government, when he could gravely charge them with having " bound them selves to a particular course" on a subject which has been already worn threadbare; which has been bandied about, like a shuttlecock, from one side of the House to the other ; which has been argued and re-argued in . all its bearings, immediate and remote ; and on which no new lights can be thrown, and nothing remains to be said ! Such a charge might have come with some little propriety from our Contemporary last year, but this year it is preposterous and inapposite to a degree. But not only is the Post angry with Ministers for having made up their minds on the most hacknied and exhausted question of the day, but he is still more vexed with them for presuming to throw out a hint about " resignation." We can understand our Contemporary's soreness on this point. The rea son is obvious. He knows right well that the Con servative pear is not yet ripe ; that the Tories could not by any possibility take up the dropped reins of Government ; and that if Ministers were really to put their threat into execution, the people would in stantly call upon them to resume office, and by so doing, bring the unpopularity of the faction at once to the_ test. This it is that makes our Contem porary take so much to heart Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S late indirect allusion to a resignation, in the event of his being beaten on the Irish Municipal question ; and truly we think his chagrin has justice in it, for we can conceive nothing that could give the Tory leaders more rational cause for alarm and tribulation, than their re ceiving just now a royal mandate to turn their horse:; heads•towardS Brighton. But our Tory Contemporary need not be disquieted on this score. His virtuous ap prehensions are utterly groundless, for the Ministers will not resign, and consequently the Conservatives will not be called on to succeed them. Even the indispen sable Sir ROBERT—as his party style him—may safely venture -upon another journey to Rome, in the full and firm conviction that no King's Messenger will be dispatched, breathless and palpitating, after him a second time. We mentioned on Saturday that our Reporter had been refused admission to the hole-and-cor»er Meet ing which was got up at the Freemason's Tavern on that day by a few rabid Tories and ultra-high- Churchmen, for the purpose of defeating the measure about to he introduced into Parliament, for the relief of the Dissenters from the compulsory support of a sys tein of religious worship of which they conscientiously disapprove. We cannot say that - we felt at the time any great degree of disappointment at the exclusion, which we believe was not levelled at us in particu lar, but extended to all the Liberal press. Nor arc we, now that we have seen the report of the proceedings furnished by the accredited organs of the clique, disposed to think that many of our rea ders have sustained an irreparable calamity, in con sequence of the course adopted by the managers of this hocus-pocus concern. We have looked over the speeches delivered by the persons pushed for ward on this occasion to deceive the public, and we can honestly say, that we never, in all our lives, waded through such a quantity of stupid trash. Well might the people engaged in such a piece of humbug be .ashamed to let the public know what they were about, and how clumsily they performed their tricks. Lord ASHLEY was in the Chair, and afforded suffi t Tent evidence that he is perfectly qualified to put on a long face, and utter a sanctitnonious whine, when by doing so he can serve a party 'impose. What must any really religions person think of this noble Maw worm's declaration, that to abolish Church-rates would be to " rob the poor man of his rights, and God of his glory." May. we not ask this sprig of nobility for what purpose it is that the State has assigned a revenue of four or five millions a year to a particular order of men ? Is this enormous amount of wealth lavished upon the State Clergy, merely that they may take care of the souls of the rich ? Are the poor to be excluded from all spiritual benefit, unlevs the Dissenters will submit to the payment of an additional sum under the name of Church-rate ? This is the argument implied in the first part of the Noble Lord's assertion. Thca as to the " robbing GOD of his glory," we cannot help saving that this is not the first time we have heard that the glory of GOD could be promoted by compelling men to violate their consciences. In the days of ignorance and persecution, when the Dissenter from the national faith was led to the stake for his heretical opinions, the glory of GOD was always Are pretence. The praises of the Almighty, the Te Deum laudamus, and the cries of the murdered victim, ascended together to the throne of peace and mercy. So it is, ris far as princi ple is concerned, at the present time. The persecutors now-a-days dare not proceed to the extremity of com mitting a Church-rate unbeliever to the flames. Public opinion has happily put a hook in their nose and a bridle in their mouth ; but there are not wanting proofs that it is the power, not the inclination, which is defective. They do not hesitate to tear him from so ciety, from his family, from the light of day, and im mure him in a dungeon, where his life may be sacri ficed for " the glory of GOD." We have no more room at present to devote to this Meeting, but we may probably give the public a few further specimens of the arguments (!) against the abolition of Church-rates, brought forward at the Freemason's Tavern. Madrid Papers to the 12th, with letters from the north of Spain to the 15th instant, have been received. Their contents are of very little importance. The Minister of the United States had presented a note to the QUEEN'S Government, protesting against the trans fer of the island of Cuba to England as a security for the payment of any loan contracted by Spain, and setting forth that the United States would not suffer England to take possession of the island. What effect this note may have upon the plans of the Finance Minister we know not. The Ministry agreed to send three Commissioners to the army of the north, to arrange all differences among the officers, and to report upon the condition of the troops ; but when, on the llth inst., a motion was made in the Cortes for leave of absence for General SEOANE, COI. DEL VALLE, and Senor LEIJAN, to proceed respectively to Bilboa, Pampeluna, and Vittoria, on the Government mission, the Chamber decided, by a majority of sixty-nine votes to sixty-seven, that no leave should be granted, and that Ministers had no right to confide secret mis sions to Deputies, without first obtaining the permis sion of the Cortes. Nevertheless, the Commissioners proceeded on their mission—General SEOANE to Vit toria, where ALAIN remains with his division ; Co lonel del VALLE to Pampeluna, where General SAARSFIELD is occupied in preparations for a grand attack on the Carlists ; and Senor LEIJAN to Bilboa, the head-quarters of General ESPA RTERO. General QUIROGA is reported to have resigned the Captain-Generalship of Arragon. General No- GUERAS is named as his successor. General EvA Ns addressed the following proclama• Lion to the British and Spanish troops at San Se. bastion on the 10th inst. : " Soldiers—We are soon about to attack the troops whom we conquered at Arlaban, Bilboa, and under the walls of this town. Your courage and your discipline will secure success to the arms of her Majesty Queen Isabella 11. You behold at your head men of experience, who have been brought up on the field of battle, and who will conduct you to the path of glory. lam proud to be able to present to you a young chief who has known only victory; in the midst of you his destiny cannot be altered. Spaniards and Englishmen, you have only one country, and that country never proved it self ungrateful ; your sufferings, your sacrifices, and your courage will be rewarded. Despotism deluged in blued, is making its last struggle to secure its empire over fertile Iberia. ,Tyranny will recoil before you. Spain, who applauds your exertions, through which she will be liberated, will soon enter on a prosperous career under the sceptre of Isabella 11. Soldiers, your mission is great, hut you will accomplish it, and I am proud to be at your head, for I know that the day of battle will be the proudest of your life. Long Evil the Queen (Signed) <" DE LACY EVANS, " General- Commandant.' " General HARISPE has given permission to General EVANS to remove the guns across the French terri tory, from Socoa to Irun, where they are to be directed against the Carlists' batteries. The whole of the Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday hare Leen received. According to the Mi nisterial- Papers the expedition against Constantine has not only not been abandoned, -but the Telegraphic despatch which we published on Saturday, purporting to be addressed by the Minister of War to the Mili tary Commandant of the Fottress of Toulon, was. an arrant forgery. General BERNARD addressed no such order to Baron STOFFA T. The contradiction is thus given .iven in the Moniteur of Saturday : " The Minister of War had addressed no despatch of a ny kind to the Military Commandant of Toulon. The'cirrly one forwarded from the Ministry of War was dated .Feb. 11, and was directed (not to the Commandant of Toulon,,but) to the General (Dainremunt) commanding the Bth military division at Marseilles. It directed that the vessels Egsrie and the Marne should be employed in transporting soldiers to Oran. With respect to Bona no conveyance of troops from France, for that destination can take place until the sheds TiOW in pro cess of most active fabrication at Toulon (for prctecting from the weather the materiel of the artillery, and of the en gineers, the provisions, and teinporaq hospitals) be ready, transported to Bona, and absolutely -erected there. So far front being suspended the preparations for the expedition against Constantine are proceeding with the utmost vigour. The materiel of the engineering department, and of the ar tillery, the tents or huts for the troops, the means of transport, and the stores of all kinds will be ready for embarkation by the end of this month. As respects the troops the "greatest possible activity is observed in completing the effective force of the corpsthat are to be sent from France to Africa, and to provide them with the articles of equipment necessary for the campaign." The Ministerial evening official organ, the Charte, of Friday, has the following -observations on the oc cupation of Algiers, and the dismissal of Marshal THE SUN, I,ONI)O,'IVIONDAY, FEBRUA ItY 20, 1837. CLAUSEL :--• " Government will shortly present to the Chambers a defi nitive plan for the occupation of the Regency of Algie rs . Th e Chambers will have to appreciate the ideas and the measures that may he proposed to them. Certain modifications having been adopted in the system hitherto followed, the replacing, of the Governor charged to carry that system into execution be comes an act easy to be explained. By some the Gov ernmen t is reproached with having acted too hastily ; by others, with having been dilatory in its measures. Again, it has been urged that the whole afriir should have been submitted to the Cham bers, and that Government should have waited till Marshal Clauscd had explained himself before the Legislature. Go vernment has proved its anxiety to acquire all possible informa tion on the subject of the late disastrous expedition to Constan tine, and after such information had been 'acquired, and the necessities of the case maturely weighed, General Damremont was appointed to the command in Africa in place of Marshal Clausel." It is impossible to convey to the world in language less offensive to the friends of Marshal CLAUSEL the fact of his dismissal. The Government organs endeavour to have it believed that the KING was opposed to the appointment of General DANIREMONT in the room of his very dear friend the Marshal, but that his MA. JE:TY was outvoted in the 'Council. This is sheer humbug. Had the KING not resolved upon CLAU SECS disgrace, it would have been in vain for GUIZOT to propose his removal from the Vice-Regal dignity in Algiers. The Moniteur of Saturday contains the following deplorable intelligence from Africa :-- • . " TELEGRAPHIC; DESPATCHES. " TOULON, FEB. 14. " TIIE MARITIME PREFECT TO THE MINISTER OF MARINE. " I learn from Algiers that the Casba of Bona blew up on the morning of the 30th ult. All the lodgements and a great part of the fortifications of that citadel have, it is said, been destroyed. Out of the 500 men of the garri s on, 100 have pe rished, and 200 have been more or less dangerously wounded. The loss is estimated at a million of francs. " The city was little damaged, but several houses were shaken. " TOULON, FEn. 15, HALF-PAST 12 P.M. " THE 'AIARITIME PREFECT TO TILE MINISTER OF WAR. " General liapatel directs me to forward you the following despatch : " ALGIERS, FEB. 6. " The powder-magazine of the Casba of Bona blew up on the 30th, in the morning. The buildings of the fort have been destroyed; 108 military men of all ranks have perished; 192 have been wounded. " The magazine contained 6,99,9 kilogrammes of gunpowder, 1,000,000 of musket cartridges, &c. • " The necessary measures have been taken in Bona and Al giers to prevent any unpleasant consequences accruing from this disaster. Tranquillity prevailed in the city and province of Bona. " A true copy, " The administrator of the telegraphical line, " ALPHONSE FOY." The first effect of this dreadful accident will be to delay for several weeks longer the expedition against Constantine. The fortifications of Bona were ex ceedingly strong, and of course they will all be rebuilt before the French army attempt new conquests. The Chambers of Peers and Deputies sat on Sa turday. In the former Count MoLE presented the Bill demanding a supplementary credit of 150,000 francs, to enable the Government to strengthen the line of Customs on the Spanish frontier. M. GAs- PARIN likewise brought up the Municipal Bill which had, passed the Deputies. In the Second Chamber a petition was presented from several influential Arabs, inhabitants of Tlemcen, in the Regency of Algiers, complaining of the arbitrary and cruel 'conduct of Marshal CLAUSEL and the authorities under him, and praying foi inquiry and redress. M. DUPIN observed that the petition called for the most careful investigation on the part of "the Chainber. It was re ferred to the Committee upon the African Supplemen tary Credit. We are happy to learn, from the Journals, that the influenza is fast disappearing in Paris. Very few were attacked last week, and those not dangerously. FRENCH FUNDS.-Psnts, Fes. 17.

Advices from Baden of the 7th inst., notice the great exertions made by the keepers of the Paris gambling houses, to obtain permission to establish themselves in several parts of Germany by the commencement of the next year, when they are to be suppressed in the capital of France. The sums offered by them for licenses are really enormous. The Echo du Lunenburg complains in severe terms of a decree addressed by the King of HOL LAND, as Grand Duke, to the inhabitants of that city, forbidding them to recognise the validity of any documents signed by Belgian functionaries. This decree is most injuriots to the trade and social comfort of the city, as Belgians are con stantly dealing and intermarrying with the citizens. Unless WILLIAM of NASSAU be checked in his mad career, he will strip the House of Orange of the duke dom of Lunenberg, as well as of the Kingdom of Belgium. The Grand Duke of BADEN has given orders for the removal of the body of the ex-King of SWEDEN from Switzerland to Carlsruhe. The Bavarian Chambers were opened on the 11th inst. atMunich by the KING in person. The follow ing is it copy of His MAJESTY'S speech from the Throne : "My beloved and faithful Estates of the kingdom,—l feel myself impelled to , speak first of what is dearest to my heart— the love of my people, of which I have at all times had the most affecting,' proofs-; but, abovo all, during my absence in Greece, and at my return they are engraved on my heart in in delible characters. . " The long desired accession of Baden, Nassau, and Frank fort, to the German commercial leagues, will promote the in terest of Bavaria, which is the unceasing object of my care. ' " A happy event is the marriage of my dear son, the King of. Greece, with the Princess Amelia, of Oldenburg ; his choice is a pledge of his domestic happiness. " The Bavarian Bank has commenced its operations. The making of the canal which will unite the Danube with the Maine, and consequently with the Rhine, is proceeding with great activity ; but that this and the commercial league may produce the advantages which may be expected, improvements of the laws for the maintenance of credit are necessary, and also for agriculture and manufactures. My ministers will lay before you projects of law for this purpose ; also the accounts of the last year and the budget for the fourth financial period. . " The state of the finances is flourishing ; but after the great reductions in the taxes, amounting to four millions of florins annually, this would not be the ease bad not several branches of the revenue become more productive. We must thank GOD that the cholera has visited but a few places in my kingdom ; but on this occasion the excellent character of my Bavarians was nobly manifested, .. The good spirit which animated the last Diet will be displayed also in the present assembly, which will be equally a model for future ones. I reckon on the good will and attach inent of my beloved and faithful estates of this„kingdom." BELGIAN I. l. l NDS—l3itessu.s, FEB. 15.

On attaining the sorvants' bed. room they were horror-stricken on finding Sarah Davis, one of the servants, quite dead, and Martha Clayton lying beside her in an almost insensible state. On examining into the circumstances, it was discovered that Davis was in the habit of warming her bed every night ; on the previous night she had brought up the warming pan unusually hot, and after warming the bed, there being no fireplace in the room, she had placed the pan, with . the coals still alight in it, in the wash-Land basin ; the chamber being small and ill-ventilated, the oxygen was speedily consumed, and the unfortunate young woman bad been suffocated' from the carbonic oxyde emitted froin the coals..

GLOUCESTER-SAT URDAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sue—Seeing your statement in Friday's publication of the pan.-cedings of the parish of St. -Michael's, Gloucester, as ono of the Churchwardens, I cannot allow its details to pass with. , out a remark. It is true that.a, petition had been previously advertised in favour of Church -rates, and the Rector had also respectfully submitted the same to the parishioners for sig natures; as to its success I cannot say. It is not true, "that in the face of the reluctance on the part of the public to enter into the views of the Church-rate party, a vestry meeting' would be he ld on Thursday, to m a k e a Church-rate." For tate, intimation had been given about a month previous, and that, too, at a vestry meeting, that a Church-rate would be re quired, and that, in consequence of a previous appeal, upon the voluntary principle failing to produce a sufficient amount to defray the current expenses, and which sum only was V. 145., a rate was demanded of 2d. in the pound, which would have raised full 201. more, out of which rate my in tention was to return the several subscriptions, and which was stated at the time of subsciibing, providing the voluntary principle did not produce the amount of money required. The money subscribed and the payments to be made amount to very near 191. ; allowing the further voluntary principle there is now required 11/. Gs. Nor is it true that, after the triumph had b:en cb - a'ned, the victorious party immediately collected among themselves a sum greater than that which the rate would have prk duced," and the sum of money was contributed by both parties, and handed over to me, which amounted only to 395., and home diately after the decision, the greater part of the rate-payers attending the meeting, and who came for the avowed purpose of opposing the grant of the rate, simultaneously bolted with out contributing one shilling to the good cause. Your, in• sertiou will oblige, your obedient servant, G O. SMITH, Churchwarden. DREADFUL SHIPWRECKS. LOSS of TWO BUNDIIED LIVES.—The JANI hnd MARGARET, and The GLASGOW. The Jane and Margaret, Ilaker, for New York, having on board about 200 steerage passengers, besides several cabin passengers, including ladies, left Liverpool by the morning tide, on the Gth inst. She was a stout vessel, built in British. America, and considered in every respect a desirable convey ance. Yesterday the Captain of the Wakefield, a smal schooner from Charleston, arrived here, and states that or the 14th inst., while bearing N. W. by N., about twenty mile! from Wicklow, in Ireland, he passed the wreck of an Ame rican vessel, about 500 tons burden, the mainmast broken or the deck, the mainyard laying across the deck, and the vesse herself completely shattered. There was no one on board. He saw a large quantity of pillows, beds, and bedding floating on the water. He picked up a quantity of the lower decl planks, and part of the cross-trees attached to the upper part of the gallows, painted yellow, about eight feet long. He also picked up a trunk, with brass letters engraven on it and a deal box, marked " E" (in a diamond), " 683," toge. ther with several other articles, which had floated from di( wreck. The box bearing the above mark and numbers bac been shipped by Messrs. Wood, Kurtz, and Co., of Liven pool, on board of the Jane and Margaret, with a quan tity of others. The portions of the wreck which have beer picked up have also been identified as belonging to the unfor tunate vessel ; and it is to be feared that out of the whole pas songers and crew which left Liverpool on board of her only ; few days previously, not one has been left to record the histor: of their sufferings. This melancholy conclusion derives addi tional strength from the fact that, had any one escaped fror the wreck, intelligence would have been made to some of th , various agents for Lloyds stationed along the Irish coast, bu that establishment hero has received no intimation of the kind and is compelled reluctantly to believe that the unfortunat , 200 souls who embarked on board of the Jane and Margare have found a watery grave. The other calamity, though less fatal as regards numbers, is nevertheless, sufficiently melancholy—the loss of the Glasgou a fine-built American vessel, with great capabilities for aiiling and a regular trader between this port and' Liverpool. Th Glasgow's fate is detailed in the following communication frog Wexford, dated Wednesday last : " I have to inform you that at eight o'clock, A. If., this day the ship Glasgow, W. J. Robinson, master, with a general cargo and passengers, for New York, struck near Taskar Rock and after the master and some of the passengers were take] out of her by a Wexford schooner, she sunk in twenty-fiv , fathoms of water, when about ten lives were lost." THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE.
