The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Peacock) announced that the music-shops at the west-end of the town had sent for 54 fresh supply of tickets, and that he had himself re ceived, in some instances, double the advertized charge for the double admissions. Nev regulations were con sidered necessary and adopted, in consequence of tbi, increased demand, but it was thought more advisable to adopt the expedient of raising the price of the tickets, according to the suggi - stier of Mr. Anderton on the last day of meeting, than to admit a greater •number than could lie properly aceernmcdated.. Lord DUDLEY STUART rejoiced in . the prospact of a large accession to the funds for the support of the Pelee, and spoke in tie most zrat4ul terms .of the ready and powerful assistance yielded. by the press, a;id the chart - Mug alacrity with which Miss Adelaide Ketiable offered tier attractive, serekey to the Cc...twilit ! tee. Whee waited upon, that )dung lady, although informed by one of her family that she itid apt engagc ment for the 17th instant, s';'.l:l at once, " 1 don't eare about engagements ; I shall most certainly give up ail to go to Guildhall?' His Lordship gave in. a long Est of names to be added to that of the patrons and patronesses. While the Committee were sitting, a messenger ar rived from the French Ambassador for tee tickets, and several other orders were received from most of the Ambassadors. The present exertions of the Commit tee have this singular feature, that in no one instance has a ticket been returned. Indeed, independently of the noble purpose to which the profits are to be eps the attractions will be so great in eve!) , respect that even the ball and concert which immediately fol lowed the Queen's visit to Guildhall falls far short of the expectations of the Committee as regards the ap proaching scene of the 17th instant. Miss Adelaide Kemble is to sing two Italian sAss, and take part in a piece of music in which she obtained great applause in the opera of Norma. She is tif.he supported by Miss Rainforth, Miss Birch, Miss Steele, Miss Lucombe, Miss Porter, anti Miss Galbraith ; and Signors Begrezeaed' Ferrari, and Messrs. Jolly, .Rans ford.. Leffler, FitzWilliaro, Atkins, &e. The Concert will, 't is calculated, occupy in intervals of the evening, nearly three hours. There are to be solos performed on the flute, violin, - and violoncellos. Mr.Lowes's splendid gas apparatus is to be introduced SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTEHSALL'S.—YESTERDA:Y. THE DEBBY.

The last. advices from Algiers, in the Toulon papers, state that the ruins have commenced in the North of Africa with unusual viole ice, and that the town of Al giers has been completely deluged. The numbers of invalidS is so great that the hospitals are entirely filled, and numerous patients have been refused admission. The Arabs continued their attacks on the isolated farms and posts round Algiers, and carried off cattle or men nearly every clay. The whaler Gange returned into the port of Havre from the coast of New Zealand on Wednesday, after a passage of only one hundred dayS,4, having obtained an unparalleled success in an equally remarkable short space of time. She sailed from Havre •on 11th September, 1840, and in the seven months she was engaged in the fishery, obtained 2,300 barrels of oil, and a proportion ate quantity of whalebone. ThiS is one of the shortest voyages known. The France says :—Some time ago a waggon was burnt by accident on th e roa d to Havre, - UnfortunatelY this waggon contained a quant i ty o f cur i os i t i es sent tls . presents by the King of Naples to Prince Charles of Prussia, consisting of antique vases, arms, and various other objects obtained from Herculaneum and Pompeii.

A young couturiere of the Rue'du Faubourg Saint Martin, bud fur several years an intimate connection with but being constantly ill-treated left him, a and 'ou w i e ig aintutiolive with another. Two mornings ago, her former lover went to her lodging, armed with a brace of pistols, and threatened to shoot her, if she did not return to him. She refused, and be immediately fired, and wounded her on the breast. Believing he had killed her, he put the muzzle of the other pistol to his mouth, and blew out his brains. The cries of the poor girl brought in the neighbours ; medical advice was sent for, and it was ascertained that her wound, though severe, was nut likaly to prove fatal. A carman driving a load of empty casks along the wharfs at Bercy, on Wednesday evening, suffered his horse to enter the river to drink, but the animal got too far into the stream, and as the luau from being drunk was unable to guide him, they were all carried do-An to the Pont Notre Dame, and driven with violence against the pier. The driver, restored to his senses by his dan ger, shouted lustily for assistance. Some of the men employed at the office of the Octroi, and also on board the steam-Loat Parish nne, near the Quai of the Hotel de Ville, heard him, and, with the aid of the National Guards on duty there, got the man safe ashore. The casks kept themselves and the truck afloat, but the horse was drowned.

We have received a Malta Chronicle of the 29th ult., and a privet) fetti.r of the 30th, brougl.t to Naples by the Acheron steamer, which conveyed thither from Malta Lord Lads Ponsonbv, and the Noble Lord's Secretary, Mr.' Percy Doyle. The .. following article is firm' the 11111ta Chronicle : "Ist our late a: tick on the quarantine regulations we were accideotelly led into serer respecting the period pea - the exieting arratigernents of which we com plained were entered in o. On further inquiry we team that they were adopted in 1826, in consequence of an arrangement with the Continental Powers. An tecedent to that time, it will be recollected, this island did not enjoy pratique with the Continent, in conse quence of the :plague having existed here some years before. It appears that Lord Hastings, then Governor of Malta, was instructed by the Bri tish Ministry to ascertain on whet terms an arrangement for taking the island out of quarantine could be effected: It is needless to advert to minor de tails, but the result was, that one of the stipulations required that the sea-time of no ships—not even men of war—should count. This irksome and utterly use less condition was unfortunately agreed to, and the con sequence has been the growth of those anomalies which we have felt it our duty to point nut. The great incon venience of the regulation alluded to has no doubt al ways been felt+• but.it is only the recent extensive em ployrrient, of steam --navigation , whiCh has brought mat ters to a crisiseof absurdity no longer tolerable. We are sure, intleektbiat . w far more enlighterted as well as enlargetbsPitit - op the subject of quarantine has of late years beeogradtiallyesprioging up in all countries, ex cept, perhaps, in pee, which need ne.t be named. We announced in our last number that the imposi tion of 25 days' quarantine from the Black S-a was to be reduced to ten on English vessels in English ports, and on French and Sardinian vessels in their ports. But nothing, es we understood, had been agreed on as to the right of fereigu ships arriving at ports not of their own nation. " The Government of Malta, we are led to believe, in that true spirit of commercial liberality and good sense which is the best promoter of national prosperity, have decided to take the initiative in this matter,. by admitting not only vessels under the English fl ig to the advantages of the above-mentioned reduction of qua rantine, but likewise those of all other nations. 01 course such vessels roust be duly qualified by a com pliance with the terms of the enactment. " is as it should be ; and we venture to hail the incident, trivial though it mey seem—as the commence ment of a new era in cur quarantine policy—than which, Heaven knows, nothing in the history of the intercourse of nations requires more vigorous retision ! There is good reason, we rejoice to say, for hoping that France has at length opened her eyes to this matter— and if, as we trust she does, she desires, in good faith, to get rid of ail unnecessary quarantine enabarassmente, she will cheerfully co-operate with England. " Since the above attiele was in type we have learned with much regret that some practical difficulties have occurred which prevent the immediate admission of the vessels of all nations to the benefits of the diminished quarantine. We feel so confident, however, that the diffieulties alluded to retest he merely technical, and ad such will be speedily removed, that we do not consider it necessary to weaken so good a cause by postponing our remarks. The disposition of our Government is to act wisely, and therefore we feel sure that sooner or later the thing will be done." " DEPARTMENT OF QUARANTINE AND MARINE POLICE. " MALTA, Ocr. 7, 1841.—Thee Beard of Health having resolved to grant to vessels under the British flag bound to this island, and coming from Russian ports in the Black Sea and Si.a of Azoff, a diminution of the' period of qaarautine to which they would be subject, owing to their having necessarily touched at Constantinople, for the sole purpose of procuring a firman for passing the Darda nelles, has, in conformity with the regulations adopted on this head,- first, by her Majesty's Government, then by the French Government,.and lastly by his Sar dinian Majesty" sanctioned the following regulations, which are to be rigdiens: s ly observed by every master of a vessel 'under the'illi;uv.e described circumttances, who may be desirous of Obtaining in this island such reduc tion pi quarantine..,,. , e seei .- • • " leaving the Cravanonsole),. or in free pratique with the city of Odessa, beentrst•procuraia bill of health front the 'British - Consulekveith ft declaration stating the departure from one of thosettWo pliide - s - , and specifying the state of the - publielealth, as well us the place of departure, as among the vessels of Gavano.

THE WEATHER. During the first eleven days of the month we have had very favourable weather for the farmer, very little rain having laden. Tile happy consequence of this will be that the seed wheat will in most places be'well got into the ground, though the superabundance of mois ture last month will, we fear, have prevented many lands from being sown till tie spring. We had a wet night on Thursday, with showers to-day (Friday). The quantity of rain which fell in this neighbourhood in October (as registered by Mr. Atkinson at Harraby) was rather more than 5i inches, being morn than the average by 2 inchei, : and more thin has fallen in any October on record. except- in , the year 1804, when 5} fella In the corresptiOdint( moth 44 me we had only 11 inch.

An old man, tall and meagie, wearing a long white beard and a smell cap, known as a vendor of jour nals and programmes, in the morning in the yards of the various diligence offices, and in the evenings at the theatres, and who, among his associates bore the cognomen of Father Prograinnie, died a few days ago, the victim of parsimony. He never indulged himself in inert of any kind, but sub isted entirely upon bread arid water, had no dwelling-phee. of his own, pass ing his days in the open air, and at night sleeping on a wretched bed in the corner of a garret, in the Passage Brody, where ti.ere were ten or twelve other lodgers, and for which ha paid 4 sous a night. Mug unable to get up ono morning from Tries:, his associates in, tnifory called in the Doctor from the Bureau de Bien faisance of the quarter, who recommended the imme diate application of twenty leches. On being told that tics would cost hint 4 sous a piece, making an outlay of 4 francs, the avaricious old man firmly refus.A.l to expend so large a sum, declaring he would prefer death itself ; and die he did on the following morning. Whea uncovered for the purpose of performing the last offiets there was found, right bound round his wait a girdle, which on be:ng opened contained no less than B,ooof. in bank notes and a few pieces of gold. The corpse was in terred by the authorities of the arrondissement, and the ' money taken possession by the authorities, in whose hands it is likely to remain, as the real name of its late possessor is tot lily unknown. Another instance of avarice was about the same time displayed by a person in a much higher sphere of life. The widow of a Deputy, though enjoying an annual revenue' of .7;000 or 8,000 f., had the spirit of economy to strong, that she dismissed her servants, and determined to mske her,Own market jogs.

LORD MONBODDO AND JAMES MONTGO* 31F.ItY THE PoET.--The follewiug curious anecdote wus narrated by Mr. Montgomery at a recent meeting in Scotland :—" The parents of the poet had gone abroad, and their little boy was left with the brethren at Ful neck, a Moravian settlement in the sister kingdom.

His Lordship raised himself up, looked hard at the little fellow,' and then shaking his huge whip over his head, " Ah," he exclaimed, " I hope his country will have no reason to be ash amed of him."

ARMY AND NAVY PROMOTIONS. The anxious hope of the nation basing been crowned with success, the Navy and Army now look forward with confident expectation for a liberal Army Brevet and Naval Promotion. Various are the reports in circulation on this subject. As regards the Army, we must refer our readers to the Naval and Military Gazelle of the 30th ult. on this subject, in which are the following remarks : That there will be a Brevet on the happy occasion of her Majesty's approaching eccouchement, we enter tain not the least doubt, because, we lately stated, the services consider Sir . Henry Hardinge pledged to this very necessary measure. This Brevet will, we be lieve, include-the Lieutenant-Generals of 1823 and 1830, the Maior-Generals - of .1830, the remaining Colonels of 1830, together with the very few who received that rank in the following years (1831 to 1836), terminating with that gallant soldier and truly excellent man, Colonel Aitchison, of the Scots silier .thrirds. Also the Lieutenant-Colonels, :Majors, and Captains, down to 1830 inclusive. should only deceive our friends of the Army, did we hold out any hope that the next Brevet would ex tend beyond the year 1830 but we have every reason to assured that it Will:not stop short of that year, for the very sufficient reason that the Lieutenant- Colonels and Majors of 1826; 27, 28, and 29, are all, with very few exceptions, purchase men ; whereas the Lieutenant-Colonels and Majors of 1830 are all veteran officers, and have obtained their present rank by sheer length of service. We should be truly happy to find that, in addition to the above, some few officers of long and distinguished service, but whose commissions are dated subsequently to 1830, are selected for a step of promotion by Brevet. Wo cannot conclude without acquainting the autho rities that the Officers of the Army and Navy confi dently look forward to a very extensive promotion in and appointment to the Order of the Bath. This will cost the country nothing ! At the same time it is. hoped that some better claim for that honour will be substan tiated than the fact of having happened to marry a Duchess !—and that the claims of Officers of long and gallant services will not be again passed by. Tude is one class of Officers, however, who should not ba over looked, happen what will : we allude to thole :/;:irifi * tv Officers now in command of regiments whole fortunes they have followed from their first entering the Service. In respect to the Navy it is stated by many persons who assume to be well informed, that the promotion of Flags will take in Sir Charles Napier ; whilst others say that it will not go below the end of 1807, thus in eluding Sir Thomas Troubridge, and ending with Capt. Charles Gordon. With regard to the junior classes, of course there will be a proportionate advancement in each rank ; and being most desirous for the welfare of the Navy, we sin cerely hope that it will include all the mates that arc serving, down to the year 1836 at least, which will be about one hundred and fifty only, and all of whom mutt have bees, in the Navy pill twelve years. We should be glad, indeed, could we learn that it was intended to include another year, which would ex tend the number to about 230 altogether ; and whilst we hear of the great difficulty that now exists in getting active and efficient Lieutenants to serve in our ships, we do trust that the First Lord of the Admiralty may see fit to carry the expected promotion out to this satisfac tory extent. Possibly on the present joyous occasion the promotion may km extended to some of the old Commanders, Lieutenants, rand Mates, whose claims appear to merit such favour. This was the ancient practice on a gene ral promotion, and, if revived, would give much sails faction. Of this we arc fully assured, that ALL and EVERY TILING that can be done for the service will be recom mended by the distinguished officer who now holds the senior seat at the Board under the First Lord. We have ascertained that up to the present moment nothing has been definitively settled. Several commu nications, hots ever, from the Naval and Military De partments, with regard to the expenses of the Brevet, have been made to the Chancellor of the Exchequer during the week.—Naval and Military Gazette. COMMISSION OF LUNACY. On Saturday afternoon a commission of lunacy was opeaed in the Sheriffs' Court, Red Lion-square, before Mr. Commissioner Blount, to inquire into the lunacy of Miss Elizabeth Fisher, niece of the late Jokn Silvester, Esq., of Kensington-square, who died in the early part of last year in the possession of 20,000/. The commis sion was sued at the instance of Miss Fisher's sister. Elton Tubb, one of the nurses of St. Luke's Hospital, stated that Miss Fisher was admitted a patient on the 23d of October, 1840. She was brought there in a strait-waistcoat, and it was repeatedly necessary to restrain her violence. She imaginei that some of the female patients were men, and had acted indecently towards her, and she often destroyed horAithes and ill treated the nurses and the other t atiettSl- She la boured under the delusion that she ial . - On terms of intimacy with the King and the Queen of England and an exte.usirc circle of the,. nobility, and frequently held incoherent conversations with imagi nary beings. At times she made use of very, im proper language, and at other times would sing most boisterously. She was removed from St. Luke's last October to Dr. Phillips's lunatic asylum, at Kensington, as the regulations of the hospital would not permit her to remain there longer than a year. Elizabeth Powell, a nurse in Dr. Phillip's eitablish ment, gave subttiutially similar testimony as to the conduct of Miss Fisher. After several other wit nesses had spoken to the same effect, Miss Fisher was brought into the room, and, on being questioned by the Learned Commissioner, she said that she bad been placed in St. Luke's against her will, and complained of buying been grossly maltreated there. She was stripped naked, and shower-baths were poured over her ; her hair was closely cut, and she was handcuffed and chained clown, and indecently treated by the medics' men. Some even were dressed up as " molly cots," which was against the laws of the country, and they ought to be punished. Upon further interrogation Miss Fisher insisted upon the reality of the delusions spoken of, and v..0.1 - -ad herself up into a high pitch of excitement against the Commissioners. Mr. BLOUNT—WeII, Miss Fisher, you may trust to us to do what. we can for you. Miss Fisher (vehemently)—No, Sir, I will tryst to nobody but to God ; I see you are a tyrant, by your eyes ; but I will not be tyrannised over by you, you blackguard, although you have black whiskers. The unfortunate lady proceeded in a violent strain to insist upon her right to have four meals a day, sherry, &c. ; and the Jury, having intimated that they were satisfied, she was conducted out of the Court, and the Jury re• turned a verdict, dating her insanity from Oct. 23,1840. ATTEMPTED MURDER IN DE- VONSHIRE. SOUTHMOLTON, FRIDAY NIGHT.--.We have scarcely escaped the late awful visitations of two angry elements in the shape of fire and water, when our peaceful vii lage is doomed to be the scene of bloodshed, and to witness the savage use of the assassin's knife, which of late has unfortunately become so general in this land. The melancholy circumstance alluded to occurred last . Sunday. On that day a man, named Robert Hid, a native of Rlckenford (about ten rules from here), visited the parish of Knowstone (about eight miles from hence, and not far from Knowstone, both being adjoining parishes). In the afternoon he went into the %chum public house, where he met and drank with William Cbapple, an old friend and com panion. Havieg drank for some time together, they left the public-house, and accompanied each other to Knowstone. On their way they met two others, when a quarrel ensued about a girl, to whom Hill had been ps)ing some attention. Hill and Chap ple:get so enraged with each other that they commencd fighting, •and were several times parted by the,others, who did All in their power to reconcile them. Eut it was'all in vain, as jealousy excited ehapple and Hill to the highest pitch of rage. During one of the con flicts Hill stabbed Chapple with a knife in the abdo men, and blood flowed in the most frightful profusion from the dreadful wound. Chapple fell insensible. Surgical aid was immediately procured, when it' was' found that through the orifice a portion of the omenttim s and intestine protruded. The wounded man was conveyed to Knowstone by Sharpcott, one of the two who tried to make peace ; Hill and the other fled to tlit) Racbam public-house, but, much to the credit of the landlord, be ' would not admit them. The Constable immed iatel y went in pursuit of Hill, whom be arrested about two I o'clock on Monday morning in a labourer's cottage at Racham, and brought him a prisoner to the Town•ball of his place. In the afternoon be was placed at the bar before a Bench of Magistrates, and after a strict and able examination by Mr. Karslake, of Meshaw, one of the County Magistrates, be was committed to Exeter gaol. I may here, en passant, observe, that unfortu nately for this town we have lost the commission of the peace. I say unfortunately, as the body corporate are rich, and we have a handsome Town•hall, with a new built prison. Chapple and Hill are wrestlers ; the former is first cousin to the noted William Chapple, of Bishops nvmpton, who played so many times in Loudon, about f ou r years ago, at I think the Eagle Tavern, or some other similar place of amusement. William Chappl e i s living, but very slight hopes were entertained o f his re covery yesterday. _ SCOTTISH TITLES OF THE PRINCE OF WALES.—The Prince of Wales is by birth Duke of Rothsay and Steward of Scotland.

ANTI-CORN-LAW and FREE-TRADE LECTURE. Lawrence Heyworth, EN., and Mr. Robert Jones, of Liverpool, who were making a temporary stay in Dewsbury, having been requested by a number of influ ential individuals to lecture here on the above subjects, agreed to do se, and placards announcing that the in tended lecture would take place on Thursday evening last, in the Wesleyan school-room, were posted through out the town and neighbourhood about a week ago. So long a period could not elapse without all parties being well apprised of it. The Chartists determined to op 7 pose the Repealns, and held a meeting at their room to consider how they should proceed to act. A silk wea ver of the name of West was employed for this purpose, who, accompanied by a large body of Chartists, accord ingly met at the above place, eager for discussion ; some time before the Repeaters arrived, some consultation ensued between the parties as to whether or not such discussion should take place. The Corn-law Repeaters at bet consented. Benjamin Wilson, Esq., of Mir- Mil, Caen briefly introduced Lawrence Heyworth, Esq., but no sooner was this done than the Chartists com menced an interruption, and amid a noisy contention moved that two chairmen should be appointed, one for each party, which proposition was seconded and even tually carried, the Chartists proposing Mr. Ephraim Clarke as theirs, which proposition was also adopted. The business of the meeting was, however, not allowed to proceed,except on condition that the Repealers would agree that each speaker should occupy not more than half an hour at a time, which they readily acceded to. Silence and order having been restored, Lawrence Hey worth, Esq., was introduced, whose address was marked by great calmness and strength of reasoning, and eluci dated brinany familiar illustrations and anecdotes, the recital blibich elicited much . apPlause. - He was suc ceeded by:Mr. West, who contended tbat the only re drets For the. Present grievance: of this country was the people's,Charter. Mr. Jones next :Poke, who, being a working man, his remarks were listened to with much interest. In the abstract, both the lecturers perfectly Coincided with the views of Mr. West, as to the primary evil existing in class legislation, but they were by no means disposed to wait for a repeal of the bread-tat until Universal Suffrage became the law of the land.— Leeds Times. SAM SLICK'S DIFFERENCE BE TWEEN A SWEETHEART AND A WIFE. This must be an everlastin fine country beyond all doubt, for the folks have notbin to do but ride about and talk politics. In winter, when the ground is covered with snow, what grand times they have a slaying over these hero marshes with the gals, or plain ball on the ice, or gain to quiltin frolics of nice long winter evenings, and thee a drivin home like mad by moonlight. Natur meant that season on purpose for courtin. A little tidy scrumtious-looking slay, a real clipper of a horse, a string of bells as long as a string of inions round his neck, and a sprig en his back, lookin for all the world like a bunch of apples broke off at gatherin time, and a sweetheart alongside, all muffled up but her eyes and lips, the one lookin right at you, is e'en almost to drive one ravin, tarin, distracted mad with pleasure, aint it And then the dear critters say the bells make such a din there's no brarin one's self speak ; so they put their pretty little mugs close up to the face, and talk, talk, talk, till one can't help lookia at them in stead of the horse, and then whap you both go capsized into a snow-drift together, skins, cushions, and al!. And then to see the little critter shake herself when she gets up, like a duck landing from a pond, a chattering away all the time like a canary bird, and you a haw-haevin with pleasure, is fun alive, you may depend. In this way blue-nose gets led on to offer himself as a lover be fore he knows where he is. But when he gets married, he recovers his eye-sight in little less than half no tires. lie soon finds he's trted ; his flint is fixed then, you may depend. She larns him how vinegar is made ; Put plenty of sugar into the water aforehaud, ray dear," says she, "if you want it real sharp." The fart is on the other side of his mouth then. If his slay gets up shot, its no longer a funny matter, I tell you ; he catches it right and lett. Her eyes don't look up to his'n any more, nor her little tongue ring like a bell any longer ; but a great big hood covers her head, and a whappin great muff covers her face, and she looks like a bag of old clothes, agoin to the brook to be washed. When they get out, she don't want any more for him to walk lock and lock with her, but they march like a horse and cow to water, in each gutter. If there aint a transmo grification, i'ts a pity. The difference between a wife and a sweetheart is near about as great as there is be tween new and bard cider—a man never tires of puttin one to his lips, bet makes plaguy wry faces at t'other. It makes me so kinder wamblecropt when I think on it, that I am afeared to ventur on matrimony at all. I have seen some blue-noses most properly bit, you may depend. The marriage yoke is plaguy apt to gall the neck as the ash-bow does the ox in rainy weather, un less it.be most particlarly well fitted. You've seen a yoke of cattle that warn't properly mated ; they spend , more time in pullin agin each other than in pullin tree load. Well, that's apt t') be the case wlth them as chooses their wives in slay in parties, quiltin frolics, : and scven,instead of the dairies, looms, and cheese-house. ASIATIC MISSIONS. Peels, ,OcT. 27.—Tne foreign missions here have twice received from the East news important, if con firmed, not merely with regard to the missions them selves, but also in a political point of view. The ac counts are as yet vague and confused, but the next post from India or the Levant must contradict or con firm them. The first intelligence was that all the Chaldean Christians of Koordistan had been converted to Protestantism. The Episcopal church of America has for five years had an active mission at Urumea, on the Persian frontier, in order to convert the Nestorian& and Chaldean!. The English missions have also bad a few missionaries among them, one of whom, Mr. Ras sam, is a man of mach talent. The American missions follow a very sensible plan. They admit all who wish for instruction into the schools and mission houses, and content themselves with explaining the Bible and giving instruction in different branches of useful knowledge, without in the smallest degree opposing the religious creeds and habits of their scholars and guests. Many Nestorian Bishops have from time to time visited the mission-houses, attended the schools, eaten at the tables of the missionaries, and lived on the best terms with them, for they saw that the Americans did not attempt to destroy the Nestorian church, but only aimed at im proving the clergy, in order that the latter might them selves be enabled to improve their doctrine and liturgy. They wished to reform the Church through the Church itself; and if the tidings we have received are authentic, they seem to have succeeded. The consequences will be, that the foreign missions here will send a reinforce went of Catholic missionaries to Koordistan and Persia, in order to oppose this unexpected movement. This intelligence is of political interest, inasmuch as the Ca tholic party necessarily inclines to France, and the Pro testant to England, to whatever country the missionaries themselves be'ong. The second intelligence, on the contrary, is favourable to Catholicism and the French interest, being a report of the death of the King of Cochin China, Minh Menh, who had persecuted the Christians, in the bitterest manner, ever since his ac cession in 1823, and particularly since the death of the Vice-King of Camboja, who was favourable to them, and who died in 1827. The whole history of the Ca tholic church in Cochin China is a history of martyrs, filled with accounts of the banishment and execution of the priests, the burning of Christian villages, and of a system of cruel fanaticism, very foreign to the general character of the Cochin Chinese. The letters of the French missionaries are full of romantic histories of flights and dangers in caves and morasses—of exile among the barbarous tribes of the mountains, and par ticularly of the execution of European and native priests. Minis Menh appears to have always looked with great displeasure on the influence possessed by.the Bish op o f Adran and other priests over Ws father , and he ascribed the subsequent insurrection in Camboja, which put his government in so much danger, to the Catholics. Ten years ago he drew up et"decalogue, founded on the poli tical morality of the Chinese, which he made the State religion. The missionaries describe him as half insane, but the testimony of persecuted enemies is hardly to be but he had not talent enough to tra i n his prises, a n d h e relied chiefly on d an a vsoeartaela. t fo r r u e s i t g e n d. He passed a great part of his lif e i n c i v il an d He of 'navy, which consisted c r ob e ri o ee p iil l y e a ' : 8 0 4 7 af few wH t al prises, American e rdi r ec and of two steam ' boats which 1 e obtained from Calcutta , and which he hoped to use against his enemies the Siamesehis land ; b ar my lie strengthened by Malays from he disciplined to a certain degree. r His Celebes, wars, however.wa whom were always unsuccessful, and ruined his people. Whe ther the Catholic party will now obtain the upper hand remains to be seen, but it is not impossible, for it is the only element of concord in the miserable country ; and it is certain that the nation was in a much better state under the influence of the Bishop of Adran than it was during the so-called national government of Minh Menh. This intelligence is as yet very uncertain, and requires confirmation.—illlgenteine Zeitung. SEIZURE FOR EASTER DUES.—On Saturday last the houses of Mr. David Weatherhead, grocer. and Mr. W. Rhodes, milk vender, Keighley, were entered by three men appointed by the Rev. W. Busfield, the Rector of Keighley, for the purpose of making a seizure for Easter Dues. They took a table and a mahogany desk from Mr. Weatherhead's, and an eight day clock from Rhodes'. This being the first event kind which ever took place in the town, (the late Rector only collecting the dues of Church people) it created a great sensation, and on Tuesday the walls were covered with placards of the most scurrillous description. Notice of the sale of the siezed goods was given for Thursday, at one o'clock, and at that hour an immense assemblage had congregated in the Market Place. When the goods were brought out they were all broken to pieces before they could be got through the crowd and had to beput up for sale in frag ments, amid the hootings of the assembled multitude. They were ultimately sold for a few shillings, a sum not sufficient to pay expenses. The mob then proceeded to. the Rectory, to groan their disapprobation, and when our correspondent's letter left, had again assembled in the }Market-place.--Leeds Times. MORNING SUN TERAT U RE. A CATECHISM OF ASTRONOMY. By Hugo Reid. Oliver and Boyd, Edinhurgli. The object of this little treatise is to convey 'a concise explanation of the more important phe nomena and principles of astronomy, adapted to the general reader, as well as to the instruction of youth. The leading results which it des elopes are simple, and may be comprehended within a moderate compass. They term also the most interesting study that can occupy the human mind, exhibiting at once the beauty, order, and : grandeur of the heavenly bodies, and the inde scribable power of their great Creator. - study, therefore, is so well tilted for exciting the admiration and piety of youth. The work, as its title implies, is drawn up in the form of question and answer, and conveys much informa tion respecting the fixed stars, the sun, planets, and comets, iibistrated by a great variety of wood-cuts. The first of these represents some of the northern cons:ellations, among others the Great and Little Bears, and Ai ith the help of fhem Mr. Reid gives the following very simple method of finding out the north-pole star :—" If a line ''be drawn through the two farthest stars from the , tail of the Great Beal. (also called the Plough and Cliartes'sTVala), and produced in a direction from. the limbs of the animal, that liue will pass close to the Pole-star." The star is very bright, and cannot be mistaken These two stars are termed " the Painters." NEW ZEALAND, ~.011T.11 AUSTRALIA, AND NEW SOUTH WALES. By R. G. Jameson, Esq. London, Smith, Filer, and Co. The author of this interesting volume went out to South Australia ; in the summer of 1838, in the capacity of Surgeon Superintendent . of Emi grants, and from thence he proceeded to visit the principal emigrant settlements in New South Wales and New Zealand, with a view to form correct opinions with reference to the most-ad vantageous employment of labour and capital in these colonies. Without charging him with iu tentional partiality,hisbook wears all the appear ance of a panegyric upon emigration generally, and more especially upon a removal to one or other of the colonies visited by hint. As, how ever, he gives a very fair report of all that fell under his observation, the emigrant who is capa ble of forming an opinion for himself will find in this volume some curious and useful information. He admits that South Australia is so badly wa tered that the interior cannot he explored .with out the certainty of those making the attempt perishing with thirst, and he even relates the story of Colonel Gros ler and his daughter being obliged to drink the blood of their horses in an endeavour to penetrate the country north-east of Mount Barker. Now of what avail is a tine cli mate and extensive pastures in a land without that prime necessary of life —water ? He describes the scenery of Australia as very beautiful ; but the appearance of New Zealand as remarkably sombre, the plains greatly resembling the aspect of the heath-clad moors in Scotland, being over run with a specks of dark fern. Such of the na tives as he f€ll in with were inoffensive, hospita ble, and remarkably intelligent. Multitudes of them can read and write, and they are remarka bly fond of these mental exercises. New Zea land boasts of some very respectable mountains, lakes, and rivei:=,. Some of the mountains are 9,000 feet above the level of the sea, and Lake Tanpo is 35 miles in length, and on an average 2,0 in breadth. Prefixed to the volume is a well engraved map of the south Australian and Nsw Zealand groups of Islands.

DLSTRUCTIVE FIRE AT SONIERS-TOTI'N.— N,tween ten and eleven o'clock on Friday night the vi cinity of Son ere-Town became soddenly a scene of ex citement and confusion by a dreadful fire breaking out in Chalton-street, New-road, which burnt furiously for nearly two hours, and occasioned considerable destruc tion of property, and also greatly damaged several houses in the neighbourhood. The premises in which the flames commenced were tenanted by Mr. Stephenson, grocer and . tea. dealer, No. 114. situate on the west side of Chalton-street, near the New-road. The alarm was raised by an inhabitant of the sheet, who, passing by the premises, observed a great light in the shop, and smoke issuing from the fanlight over the door. Fortunately the supply of water front the plugs in the street was bounti ful, and by half-past eleven o'clock the ravages of tie* fire were stopped from reachieg the adjoining houses, No. 113 and No. 113, the former occupied by Mr. B. Callicott, and the latter by Mr. Parkington, tobacconist. All that remains of Mr. Stephenson's premises are the walls and a portion of the roof, the interior beim; all but destroyed. Mr. Stephenson at the time of the discovery of the fire was at a theatre, and was unable to account fur: its origin. He was a single man, and when he left. e' premises at half-past niae o'clock, three quarters el' nn hour before the outbreak of the flames, the place peared perfectly sefe. lie is insered in the Phoenix Fire- , office, and the building, which is the property of.a gen tleman living in the neighbonehood, is insured in the Royal Exchange-office.
