' The trial of M‘LEop, it is said, had been post poned to the first Monday in October, owing to "Mistake made by the clerk of the Court ia the necessary legal forms.

Wi t h out enter i ng t o -d a y i n t o p a rticulars , 1 1 : regard t o th a t s y s t em , i t i s sufficient to state that, under ',e rest r i ct i ons o f t h e l aw requ i r i ng a ll p u bli c mone y to be t*eed in th e vau lt s of th e Receivers - General, the Tree °ll Department is deprived of the facility of converting t 0 specie funds the Treasury Notes which it is author. ,e.d to issue, (a miserable expedient, but without alterna ors in the present state of the Treasury), because it can tr stipulate to draw for proceeds of the sale of them as may be wanted for use, &c. In a word, apart from !'t . ethe r objections to the Sub-Treasury scheme, the ope tattons of the Treasury are so fettered by it that it is L ) t Possible to conduct the fiscal affairs of the Govern nit conveniently (and hardly reputably) whilst it re " Wins in force. . VAN BUREN.—The ex-President arrived yesterday Jersey City by th e ra il ro ad c a rs, and crossed over to New York in a steamboat which his friends sent over for the pur l:: i le• About half-past three o'clock he landed at the bat 2Y, and was received by an immense crowd of his per ', rtil and p o litical friends, who gave him a most enthu reception. He then proceeded up Broadway in an 711 carriage, attended by a procession of several public r e leties, bands of music, military companies, and a large .°lther of p r i v at e citizens. The day was extremely wet, `ricllt rained violently during the entire time that the pro- Sion was passing through the streets. That under ikh circumstances so large a number of persons should / 4 4 1 out to compliment a man who had no longer any rear s to confer, or offices to bestow, must have been not tittle grat if y i ng to the ex-President. IL ANECDOTE.—In taking the census of an adjoining county, Marshal called at the house of an old lady, and among L 'ler questions asked her if she had on the plantation any Cie males, between the age of 15 and 20 . After poo twll awhile, she replied, that she " had only one, and Past a black woman, between 25 and 30."—Lynchburgh lIE MAlLS.—There is a grand stoppage of the mails ;wk. Ways at Augusta, Gee., where the railroad has been 1 3 1 1 1 1 1 ed away by a flood, and the country so extensively ot refeed that a passage over is extremely difficult. The southern rivers, or creeks, as they call them, are very Uc9 !Mellen. Four mails, going south, were lost in crossing the Ocreulgee on the 10th of March. One of ,'" 4 ese mails is said to have contained the European letters I the steamer President, which arrived here on the 3d 6 ,f March, These mails were for New Orleans , Mobile , ‘'olumbus, &c. When the news by the Caledonia arrived °ere, it was of the same date as the last news from New Orleans. FATAL. ACCIDENT.—We learn that James Fitchpatrick, . f oreman on the work of Messrs. M`Mahan, Sterling, and Ramble, contra c tors on the North Branch Canal, in raintrim, Luzerne co., was instantly killed by the falling ri a stone from the mountain above on Thursday afternoon ' L st• Mr. F. was a very respectable man and has left a lar ge family. ANOTHER FIRE IN NEW HARTFORD. —About one o'clock ~.4 11t Saturday morning, amid the raging storm, the saw and carding-machine of Mr. Joseph Gillett, in the south-west part of New Hartford were burnt down. The ; c h ute loss, including turning works, tools, grind-stones, is estimated at more than two thousand dollars. Th ere was no insurance. THE FRESHET AT THE SOUTH. ' Advices from Charleston to the evening of. the 19th ; I t., announce the abatement of the waters, though still iery high. Much damage has been done. We subjoin a . " 4 particulars : 8 4svANNan, MARCH 16.—Beach island was entirely co ered. Several corn-houses destro3ed. At Silver Bluff eern.bouse was carried away, and one also at Miller's ktcli g . The wood landings, from Silver Bluff to Para chuckle, were all under water, and the wood swept off. In Augusta, we are happy to learn, the damage was not "A t erial. The water was not so high by four or five feet ts at the freshet in May last. It however reached Broad- Itreet and filled several of the cellars. At Hamburg the whole town was inundated—the water o Vering the first Boors of the houses and stores. Consi . 'lend:4e damage was done to the town, but to what eaten R as not known. INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS..—THE STATE FINANCES.— . 4. 4 defeat of the Bill for the construction, by the State, of the Northern Railroad, from Ogdensburgh to Lake C hamplain, may be taken, we presume as an earnest of 4 e fate of other appropriations which have been or may be mode for similar works. The vote was decisive—only 39 embers being in favour of the Bill, out of a total of 128. We commend the wisdom of this course, a n d ea rnest ly h ope that not a dollar will be appropriated at the present session for any new work of internal improvement, nor for t ild old work, unless the State is already pledged to mak e '"e appropriation. There was expended during the last fiscal year, under the direction of the Canal Commissioners, the enormous t oo of $5,011,623 ; of which $3,232,371 was for the Canal Enlargement. The State debt is already 1 5,000,000, and unless the profuse expenditures which gave been projected for future years are promptly arrested, I to shall soon find that our debt is twenty millions, then , 'Plenty-five millions, then thirty millions, and so on to the %d of the chapter. We call upon all the friends of State credit and State prosperity to lend a hand for the preserva tion of both. NARROW ESCAPE.—On Saturday the prisoners in the NSW Bedford jail had a very narrow escape from suffoca -4". The pipe of one of the stoves having separated, the to produced by the coal fire escape into the apartment a t i such quantities that, when the circumstance was di. s - ' : eo Yered, twenty-five or thirty of the prisoners had b ecome _ in sensible. Medical aid was immediately called, and, after good deal of difficulty, they were all.resuscitated. - 1')11.41 1 • MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. „ (Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce.) , r IttLArELPHIA, MARCH 23, 1841.—1 was informed to " 11 that the arrangement sought to be made by the United S tates Bank with our city banks, relative to taking its lln tes at par, is all off again, in c on s equence o f th e disposi ;len manifested by the Legislature n o t t o d o an y thing in 'e Way of " Relief."

Ample and satisfictory facilities have been rendered them by the officers of the institution, and the report, which they officially announce they will make on the sth of April, will be entitled to implicit confidence.

STEAMER CHESTER LOST. —We learn by the Lehigh arrived here yesterday morning, that the Chester was snagged on the Mississippi, about 18 miles above the mouth of the Ohio, and, it is feared, will prove a total loss of boat and cargo; as part of her hurricane deck is under water. She had a valuable cargo of produce, and was bound to New Orleans. The accident occurred the morning of the 7th inst. in rounding to at a wood yard, and she filled so quick that the passengers were not able to secure the whole of their baggage.— Cincinnati Repub lican. CANADIAN NEWS. CANADIAN ELECTIONS. —Sir Allan M'Nab has been elected from the borough of Hamilton by 63 majority. A serious riot occurred at Milburn's Tavern, a few miles from Toronto, where, according to the Toronto Pa triot, a M'Kenzie flag was heisted by the Liberals. A violent contest ensued, which ended in the complete and total destruction of the house and furniture. Several per sons were dangerously wounded. The annexed paragraphs relate to some other district. FIRST RIDING.—Mr. Price at the head of the poll, 109 over Mr. Gamble. Much dreadful fighting and bonesbreak ing by the Gowanites.

This singular interruption roduced a solemn pause in the proceedings, and, for a short time, the most profound stillness prevailed throughout the crowded courtroom.

GOOD NEWS FROM FLORIDA. PILATKA, MARCH I4.—Capt. Ker, 2d Dragoons, a day or two since took 21 Indians with their chief, Kozo, Tuste nuggee. Twenty old Indians came in a few days ago at Fort Fan. ning, and gave themselves up. Wild Cat has been in at Tampa and gone out to bring in his people, and letters to-night say that 90 men were sent out on the 11th, to escort 90 odd warriors on their way in. About 400 Indians are already at Tampa waiting to be shipped—in fact every one writes that the war is over. STILL LATER FROM FLORIDA.—By the steamer Gen. Taylor, Capt. Peck, the above intelligence is confirmed. COURT CIRCULAR. ~_______ WINDSOR, TIIURSDAY. T he Queen and Prince Albert took their usual walking exercise this morning in the Slopes and Home Park for nearly two hours. The Princess Royal was taken for a carriage drive, in the forenoon, into the Great Park.

The marriage of Sir Edwin Pearson with the Honour able Alicia Anne Hewitt, eldest daughter of Viscount Lifford, was solemnised yesterday at St. Mary's Church. The ceremony was performed by the Hon. and Very Rev. Robert Maude, Dean of Clogher. The marriage was quite private, and only a very few of the nearest rela tives of the two families attended. Among those present were Viscount and Viscountess Lifford, Viscount Hawar. den, Hon. Sir Ashley Maude, Hon. Captain Francis Maude, Hon. John Hewitt, Mr. and Mrs. Babington, Mr. and Lady A. Pearson, &c. Viscount Lifford gave a dejeuner after the ceremony, at his residence in Montague.square. IRISH GRIEVANCES. The substance of the following Letter has 'ap peared lately in some of the Irish papers : TO THE EDITOR OF THE DUBLIN REGISTER. Sir, —It wants but a few months of ten years since you first allowed or rather encouraged me to lay before your readers some impressions, formed during a previous residence in Ireland, which no time can change. Since that period we have lived to see an increase of hope, a bril liant harvest of promises, and a great plenty of advice, but withal a great scarcity of advan tages. We have lived to see O'Connell at the head of a strong party in England, to see the principle of Repeal cleared from the artful me tonym of " separation," and acknowledged where such a condescension was least expected, to hear its reasonableness and loyalty most feebly denied. Yet this is a moment chosen by some to dispa rage the restoration of a native Parliament as a maggot of O'Connell's to neutralise the effect of all the " hereditary-bondsmen-letters" that ever were written, by giving out that Ireland must do nothing for herself, but merely attend the good pleasure of the Chartists, or perhaps wait till Mr. Frost returns from abroad. I have lived among the Irish, have lifted the chains they wore and found them heavy, have tasted the bitter dose set before them. I have heard the less educated though not less intelli i gent among them speak of the time when they should have the Union back again when they should have parishes — as if they had not parishes enough—as if the Union were some great bird of hope, whose flagging wings had left their shores, and whose return they had been vainly expecting ever since. The man who killed the albatross was held up by the poet as a warning , to any one who would cut off the hopes of suffer ing humanity; the bird had hovered round a ship during many days of storm and sunshine, and the sanguine mariners had identified it with their safety. How strange that Englishmen should pass a length of time in Ireland, and yet fail to see that the means of pacification will never be discovered by an English Parliament, which on the contrary will assuredly adopt mea sures for making the separation final, or the chain purely military, and the Anglo-orange in terest a mere army of occupation. How strange they should fail to see that almost any form of legislation would be as dignified for the . as it would be unquestionably honour - Sovere7 U wish. Their sturdy arms would raise able to the Pharamond on the shield, this pure, this !ie forgotten in an ecstacy of and all past miseries . Royalism. of _great antiquity The virtues of the Irish are and almost heroic origin. The 1 '4ncil of Con stance in 1414, recognised three empire:the Ro man, the Greek, and the Irish ; the la't-t)r so called because the orbis Britannicus drew is science and letters from them. This inherent excellence, fostered by two peculiar advantages —the same which aggrandized the Greek and Italian republics, namely, the habit of popular eloquence and the continual presence of armed foes—have also generated a degree of pride, increased by ill-usage and confirmed by the associations of an insular as well as moun tainous territory : the result is a supreme contelept of " England and the English. Not long ago a Roman Catholic clergyman in a public letter professed to know nothing of the law of England and . very little of the language. The tenure of land, on which everything else depends, is totally opposed to English law ; and by the way, this cannot be too soon forced on the atten tion of the Government, and a compromise rati fied about the tenant-right which, however de nounced as fictitious by the law of the rich, is still the law of the land, confirmed by a Com mittee of Lords recommending that compensa tion should be made to persons racked above a rack-rent, and yet ejected after long possession. in consequence of such misunderstandings, Irishmen know or care so little about the state of opinion here that they have a poor chance of ob taining justice 16: themselves, and the most bril liant among them 62 .nnot take their proper sta tion without first renouncing their own country, as Castlereagh,, Lyndhurst, and 'Wellington, each more or less have done. tte On every an d so ac count this indifference is to be fEtgred, far Mr. Hume was evidently right ! Your readers might even require some apology for mentioning a British worthy as an authority on any point whatever. The name of Chatham • stands next to Alfred in national esteem' —his motto was unanimity. His contempo raries, disgusted at the effect of their own absur dity, yielded to a dang;:,qous flush o f resentment against America, similar what is now felt against Ireland. No doubt l i e had been suited he would have prevented separation" Cloncurry, of the the colonies; but did he, like Lo r i pretend to say that " peace was alt America an wanted ;" did he advise Washington and .17.-r lin to abjure their provincial grievances, coli2e over to England and agitate reform of the Com mons' House ? Nothing like it. He exclaimed with a monarch's voice—l rejoice that America has resisted—let Discord reign for ever! Littora littoribus contraria, fluctibus undas. It is desirable that the Irish should sympathise a vast deal more with our injuries, but if we de spise their own view of their own case, the consequence will be, not sympathy, but separa tion " for ever." The accession of Chatham to a Ministry of that day had converted a series of defeats into some of the most splendid conquests in our his tory—all this he ascribed •to unanimity. When a people is at one with its Government, the good will of reasonable men all over the world is se cured ; and to the policy of the Queen, so far as it is liberal to Ireland, may be attributed the vic tories of Acre, Ghizni, and China, as well as the friendship of Soul t and Guizot. The Quarterly Review of last June contained an article on the life of Lord Chatham, which shows so many coincidences in the hostility expressed by " clever men" to the leading spirit of the time, that I venture to carry on the parallel and tran scribe a few particulars. Chatham's Parliamentary opposition is called by the reviewer, " an absolute despotism o ver king and kingdom, which from his first appear ance no Minister has been able to withstand," — the very words so often applied to O'Connell. Yet all this influence did not prevent the former froni being the best abused man then in the world; his bold confidence was most unceremo niously, both in prose and verse, described as "very hard words," and "very great impudence:" like O'Connell, lie was by ninny considered a " theatrical personage" and " a great actor." His long refusal of office was a theme of ridicule among officials. Even Burke declared, "he has now in his power to come into the service of his coun try ; will he do so, or will he continue talking justice at"—Loarrynane ? H. Walpole said " He has now carte blanche, blanehissime." The cosmetic Chesterfield " thought bim mad," on which the reviewer observes with great naiveté, "So unaccountable was his conduct." Yet from these very refusals, as also in the parallel case, it was inferred that he was insatiable, simply be cause 'unpurchasable : " 4 He was ravenous for the place of Secretary at War;" and again, " He had set his heart on various places which—could never be found!" That there was a resemblance in Chatham's mental constitution to that of O'Connell, may be inferred from circumstances : " The gracious demeanour of the young King, affected hint to tears." Also, " his marriage was now less conducive to his public importance than to his domestic happiness." Both had an instinctive dread of Hanover, both are reproached for changes of purpose and of allies. Thus we are told that Chatham "preserved his popularity amidst vicissitudes under which any other poli tician of the day would have sunk. Again, "The versatility with which Chatham could vary his associates .... When we recollect his zeal as a cornet of horse against Sir R. Walpole, we can not wonder at his ill-treatment of his old confe derate Glover." And again, "At one time .... at another he voted for the subsidies, Hano verian and all." In fact, like every one who would fain extract some gold from the retorts and crucibles 01 public life, he was alternately suspected and be trayed. Even so with O'Connell. In vain does he remonstrate with the individuals who from his confiding generosity have been at par= ticular moments . his unconscious instruments in doing good, without any fitness for that high except derivatively from him. In v with all his broad resplendence he asks, of good nature, Why will they . smash them selves against me? In mentioning a few se ceders, Messrs. O'Gorman Mahon, Sharman Crawford, Lambert, Macdonnell, Colonel But ler, and so down through almost every letter of the alphabet to the original Raphael, Purcell, Potter_ then up again to Moore—Anglesea— Burdett—Grey—in just enumera,,ing these and omitting others no charge is made but that of not being perfectly wise! To elbow O'Connell from the helm, with his integrity and experience of thirty years' trial, could be justified by nothing less than absolute wisdom. Rashness drives them on, needs must, knowing neither sea-marks nor "soundings; the heaving of the lead is never un derstood, the sullen roar of breakers, the wailing screams of sea-fowl unheard, unheeded, and the Ship with all its freighting souls is again and agam,--not sunk—but stranded on an iron bound coast amidst the huees and risees of the more barbarouS sort of inhabitants. Surely, on a future occasion of this kind, the National Association might do something for. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE ARRIVALS.

At a time when so much is said by many weak but well-meaning persons in favour of stopping the mails on Sundays, we are happy to be enabled to lay before our readers a document of great value on the opposite side of the question. In 1829 a system of petitioning similar to that which now exists in this country was got up in the United States of America, praying that the running of Sunday mails might be stopped by Legislative interference. The petitioners were so numerous and influential that the Senate of the United States appointed a Committee to report on the subject. This report we now reprint entire. We understand it produced so great an im pression in America that the mouths of the agitators were completely stopped, and the public feeling turned in the opposite direction. The reaction has been so strong and effective, that aoy person now advocating the stoppage of Sunday mails in America would be considered unfit to be reasoned with. The disciples of Sir Andrew Agnew would do well to consider this able and candid report with that care and at tention which a subject of so much importance demands. It appears to us to exhaust the question, and to prove in the most conclu ive manner the impolicy and injustice of civil rulers interfeing with matters of religion, except to protect the rights of conscience. Much of the report, although written with reference to this particular question only, applies with equal force and truth to the attempts now making by the Scotch clergy to resist the law, and establish an ecclesiastical despotism, by exalting themselves above the civil power, or, as they are pleased to express it, "by establishing the independence of the Churcb." The American se nators inculcate views bearing on this question which such of our senators as have any pretensions to be con sidered friends of civil and roligious liberty, would do well to digest and apply. They observe—" Extensive religious corubinatiocs to effect a political object, are, in the opinion of the Committee, always dangerous." `• All religious despotism commences by combinations and influence, and when that influence begins to operate upon the political institutions of a country, the civil power soon bends under it, and the catas trophe of other nations furnishes an awful warning of the consequences." These sentiments, and the report generally, will, we have no doubt, produce a powerful impression in this country, as it did in America when first published. The members of Government should watch with great jealousy the Judaizing, intolerant spi rit, which would force on a reluctant community the stoppage of the mails on Sunday, in order to minister to the Pharisaical spirit manifested by a comparatively small portion of the Scotch clergy and their creatures. If the mails be stopped or in any way impeded in Scot land, on the ground contended for—that it is a viola tion of the law of God—surely the same rule should be applied to other parts of the empire ; for what is sinful in Scotland cannot be sinless in England. We suspect the Government have already yielded too much to the demands of these zealots. They would do well to re consider the question in all its magnitude, before taking any other steps on the subject. In the Senate of the United States, January 19, 1829, Mr. Johnson, of Kentucky (Chairman of the Com. mittee), made the following Report : The Committee to whom was recerred the several peti tions on the subject of mails on the Sabbath, or the first day of the week, knowledge and judgment in all the concerns of that depart. meet will not be questioned. His intense labours and assi duity have resulted in the highest improvement of every branch of his department. It is practised only on the great leading mail routes, and such others as are necessary to maintain their connexions. To prevent this would, in the opinion of the Committee, be productive of immense injury, both in its commercial, political, and in its moral bearings. The various departments of Government require, fre quently in peace, always in war, the speediest intercourse with the remotest parts of the country; and one impor tant object of the mail establishment is to furnish the greatest and most economical facilities for such intercourse. The delay of the mails one whole day in seven would re quire the employment of special expresses at great ex pense, and sometimes with great uncertainty. The con - mercial, manufacturing, and agricultural in terests of our country are so intimately connected, as to require a constant and the most expeditious correspond ence betwixt our seaports, and betwixt them and the most interior settlements. The delay of the mails during the Sunday would give occasion to the employment of private expresses to such an amount, that probably ten riders would be employed where one mail stage is now running on that day, thus directing the revenue of that department into another channel, and sinking the establishment into a state of pusillanimity incompatible with the dignity of the Government of which it is a department. Passengers in the mail-stages, if the mails are not per mitted to proceed on Sunday, will be expected to spend that day at a tavern upon the road, generally under circum stances not friendly to devotion, and at an expense which many are but poorly able to encounter. To obviate these difficultie., many will employ extra carriages for their con veyance, and become the bearers of correspondence, as more expeditious than the mail. The stage proprietors will themselves often furnish the travellers with those means of conveyance, so that the effect will ultimately only stop the mail, while the vehicle which conveys it will continue, and its passengers become the special messengers for con. veying a considerable proportion of what would otherwise constitute the contents of the mail. Nor can the Committee discover where the system could consistently end. If the observance of a holiday becomes incorporated in our institutions, shall we not forbid the movement of an army, prohibit an assault in time of war, and lay an injunction upon our naval officers to lie in the wind while upon the ocean upon that day ? Consistency would seem to require it. Nor is it certain that we should stop here. If the principle is once established, that reli gion or religious observances shall be interwoven with our Legislative Acts, we must pursue it to its ultimatum. We shall, if consistent, provide for the erection of edifices for the worship of the Creator, and for the support of Chris tian ministers, if we believe such measures will promote the interests of Christianity. It is the settled couviction of the Committee, that the only method of avoiding these consequences, with their attendant train of evils, is to ad here strictly to the spirit of the Constitution, which regards the general government in no other light than that of a civil institution, wholly destitute of religious authority. What other nations call religious toleration we call religious rights. They are not exercised in virtue of Government indulgence, but as rights which Govern ment cannot deprive any portion of citizens, however small. Despotic power may invade those rights, but justice still confirms them. Let the national Legisla ture once perform an act which involves the decision of a religious controversy, and it will have passed its legi timate bounds. The precedent will then be established and the foundation laid for that usurpation of the Divine prero gative in this country, which has been the desolating scourge to the fairest portions of the old world. Our Constitution re cognises no other power than that of persuasion for enforc ing religious observances. Let the professors of Chris tianity recommend their religion by deeds of benevolence —by Chti , tian meekness—by lives of temperance and holiness. Let them combine their efforts to instruct the ignorant—to relieve the widow and the orphan—to pro mulgate to the world the Gospel of their Saviour, re , commending its precepts by their habitual example ; Ge , vernment will find its legitimate object in protecting them. It cannot oppose them, and they will not need its aid. Their moral influence will then do infinitely more to advance the true interests of religion than ally measures which they call on Congress to enact. The petitioners do not complain of any infring ement upon their own rights. They enjoy all that Ch ristians ; ought to ask at the hand of any Government—protection from all molestation in the exercise of their religious sen timents. _ _ .............. Resolved—That the Committee be discharged from the further consideration of the subject." NOTTINGHAM ELECTION. THE SECRET CORRESPONDENCE REPORT. That some respite is required from the ordinary vo cations of life is an established principle sanctioned by the usages of all nations, whether Christian or Pagan. One day in seven has always been determined upon as the proportion of time ; and in conformity with the wishes of the great majority of citizens in this country, the first day of ' the week, commonly called Sunday, has been set apart to that object. The principle has received the sanction of the national Legislature so far as to admit a suspension of all public business on that day, except in cases of absolute necessity, or of great public utility. This principle the Committee would not wish to disturb. If kept within its legitimate sphere of action, no injury can result from its observance. It should, however, be kept in mind, that the proper object is to protect all persons in the enjoyment of their reli gious as well as civil rights, and not to determine for any, whether they shall establish one day above another or esteem all days alike holy. We are aware that a variety of sentiment exists among the good citizens of this nation on the subject of the Sabbath-day, and our Government is designed for the protect:on of one as well as another. The Jews, who I in this country are as free as Christians, and entitled to the same protection from the laws, derive their obliga tion to keep the Sabbath-day from the Fourth Command ment of their decalogue, and, in conformity with that in junction, pay religious homage to the seventh day of the week, which we call Sa turda y . O n e de nomination of Christians am ong UE, justly celebrated for their piety, and 1 ntbe moral obligation of the Sabbath, and observe tc t I he i e e l. t s l a 'e m .; ; e s Y day.as g ood citizens as any other class, a g ree with There are also many Christians among us who derive not their 0 ,‘‘ligation to observe the Sabbath from the decalogue but rega. From the exam sd the Jewish Sabbath as abro gated. they have chosen the first :; 14 Y the decto a .' l4 i nles of the Apostles of Christ, of the week, instead of devotions. These have generally that day set apart in ue, for their religious $,. and the obser vance of the day as a devotional exercise, and would not would en more readily enforce it upon others than th. " the fact force secret prayer or devout meditations: urgir, that neither the Lord nor his disciples, though often' cen sure.l by his accusers for a violation of the Sabbath, evigr enjoined its observance. They regard it as a subject on i which every person should be fully persuaded in his own mind, and not coerce others to act upon his persuasion. Many Christians, again, differ feom those professing to de rive their obligation to observe the Sabbath from the fourth commandment of the Jewish decalogue, and bring the examples of the Apostles, who appear to have held their public meetings for worship on the first day of the week, as authority for so changing the decalogue as to substi tute that day for the seventh. The Jewish Government was a theodracy, which enforced religious observances ; and though the Committee would 'hope that no portion of the citizens of our country could willingly introduce a sys tem of coercion in our civil institutions, the example of other nations should admonish us to watch carefully against its earliest indication. With these different religious views, the Committee are of ;opinion that Congress cannot interfere. It is not the legitimate province of the Legislature to deter mine what religion is true or what is false. Our Go vernment is a civil and not a religious institution. Our Constitution recognizes in every person the right to choose his own religion, and to enjoy it freely, without molestation. Whatever may be the religious sentiments of citizens, and however variant, they are alike entitled to protection from the Government, so long as they do not invade the right of others. The transportation of the mail on the first day of the week, it is believed, does not interfere with the rights of conscience. The petitioners for its discontinuance appear to be actuated from a religious zeal, which may be com mendable, if confined to its proper sphere, but they assume a position better suited to an ecclesiastical than to a civil. They appear, in many instances, to lay it down as an axiom, that the practice is a violation of the law of God. Should Congress, in their legislative capacity, adopt the sentiment, it would establish the principle that the Legislature is a proper tribunal to determine what are the laws of God, It would involve a legislative decision in a religious con troversy, and on a point on which good citizens may honestly differ in opinion without disturbing the peace of society or endangering its liberties. If this principle is once introduced, it will be impossible to define its bounds. Among all the religious persecutions with which almost every page of modern history is stained, no victim ever suffered but for the violation of what Government denomi nated the law of God. To prevent a similar train of evils in this country, the Constitution has wisely withheld from our Government the power of defining the Divine law. It is a right reserved to each citizen, and while he respects the equal rights of others, he cannot be held amenable to any human tribunal for his conclusions. Extensive religious combinations to effect a political object, are, in the opinion of the Committee, always dan gerous. The first effort of the kind calls for the estab lishment of a principle which, in the opinion of the Corn miitee, would lay the foundation for dangerous innovations upon the spirit of the Constitution, and ups:o the religious r ghts of the citizens. If admitted, it may be justly ap prehended that the future measures of Government: will be strongly marked, if not eventually controlled by the t ;',ame influence. All religious despotism commences by comba nation and influence, and when that influence begins to operate upon the political institutions of a country, the civil ower soon bends uuder it, and the catastrophe o other nations furnishes an awful warning of the conse f quence.

His t - . (FRON OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. ) Notwithstanding that the severe illness of General Fer guson gave very little hopes to any one that he would survive the present Session, yet the intelligence of his death came very sudden upon his constituents. The Tories had previously been active, and had made ar rangements for bringing down Mr. Walter; of the Times, to contest the seat on Tory principles. On Wednesday Mr. Walter arrived at the George the Fourth Hotel, ac companied by Colonel Sibthorp. On the evening before the Liberal party held a Meeting, which was attended by a great number of the most respectable Liberals. Colonel Thompson was proposed, but he, it was deem ed, would have no chance without money, of which he has very little, against a rich candi date, 'and smarting from defeat. Attention was then turned to several others, but eventually some letters were read from G. G. de H. Larpent, Esq., in which his sentiments were detailed. He declared himself a Radical in every sense of the word, in favour of a Repeal of the Corn-laws, abolition of Church rates, the Ballot, and Extension of the Suffrage, and other excellent measures. Very high credentials from the first liberal men in London were read in his favour, and it was eventually agreed to invite him down to address the electors, and a letter was despatched to him. He will be in Nottingham this day (Thursday ), and will, no doubt, be the man adopted by the Liberal party. It is very much to be regretted that a great split has taken place lately among all parties on the Poor-law Question, the Whigs having built a new workhouse on the new principle, in spite of the efforts of the Tories and Chartists to prevent it. The Tories have taken ad vantage of this, and, having joined with the Chartists, got an ultra-Tory Board of Guardians returned on Tues day last, who have stopped the 'building of the new house. The Tories deeming they will be joined by the Chartists, on proposing Mr Walter, who is an anti-Poor law man, are sanguine of success, but their hopes are most fella , for the Chartists, in full meeting at the Democratic c i ; veal, on Monday night, determined not to suppert a Tory cu any grounds.

() L e l 3 LANDLORDS AND LABOURERS, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—Your remarks upon the sufferings of the labour class, and the bliodness of the landowners, reach the very core of the wronged labourer's heart. You were strictly right and in point when you mentioned last night that the selfish conduct of our aristocracy was occasioning investigation into the right of the ques tion ; and should you deem the following remarks worthy of insertion in your spirited Journal, they may be taken as a rude specimen of the conjecturing and meditation of the labour class. On what conditions was the land of the United King dom given to the ancestors of our near-sighted aristo cracy ? Every square acre of land had to sustain, when necessary, a soldier—payment of the army may be taken as one condition. Each Baron was respotisible for the tranquillity of h;s district—payment of the police may be taken as another condition. The wisdom of our ancestors, in my opinion, was forcibly shown in making those who reaped the glory, pay the piper. Now the case is somewhat altered, capital and labour is not only compelled to pay, but the profit and honour is retained by the law-makers. Those law-makers constrain us annually to pay twenty-eight millions arrear of army debts, which they, according to original agreement, ought to have paid themselves ; not only do they enforce this iniquity, but further, by their vile monopoly, take full twenty per cent. of the re mainder from us ; and, out of all this justice, should any of us be enabled to save a portion of our toil, those law-makers, at our death, grasp a considerable share ; while their own real property remains unscathed. This shocking conduct is filling the breast of every workman, who reads, with indignation ; it is in vain to tell them the population of England exceeds its capi. tal. They ask what is capital ? And say, give it a lair field and no favour, and it will become like the sixty millions recently sunk in railroads. speedily turned into a hundred millions. What portion of capital is defi cient, which constrains the cotton spinner to go idle, cold, and hungry? Is it raw cotton ? No. It is ma chinery ? No. Is it want of money, providing there was a profitable demand ? No, for hundred of moneyed men are W eager for such an opportunity. What is it, then ? ant of demand alone. Who is it that shuts out this demand ? Mr. Editor, we of the working class know too much, or too little ; we must very shortly have heavenly jus tice, or dark, dark despotism. Most respectfully, A TIN-PLATE WORKER. Wednesday. OF THE KING OF THE FRENCH. REPLY OF THE PROPRIETOR OF THE " CONTEMPORAINE " TO THE ENGLISH AND FRENCH PAPERS, RESPECTING THE AUTO GRAPHS OF LOUIS PHILIPPE, PART OP WIIICII WAS WRITTEN DURING lIIS EMIGRATION, AND THE OTHER PART PROCEED ING FROM THE SECRET PORTFOLIO OF PRINCE TALLEYRAND, The moment has come at last for me to break through my long-protracted silence. I have, until now, allowed attacks against my person and character to pass unnoticed, without complaining, without lifting up my voice, without protesting in the name of truth ; the most offensive impu tations, the foulest calumnies have been circulated, and they have as yet not received from my pen that absolute and solemn contradiction which I owe to myself, and by which they can be so easily and triumphantly overthrown. It is but fair to say that this great degree of forbearance must be ascribed to an honourable motive, namely, my ap prchcnsinn of committing, through my open interference, two individuals wiih whom I was not personally acquainted, whose opinions and political sympathies are by no means congenial with my own, but whom I looked upon as victims of arbitrary power, and deprived of their liberty through the effects of a Machiavelic system which I execrate, be cause lam acquainted with all its baseness. While the publisher and editor of the legitimist journal La France were under the bolts and Oars of arbitrary power, while a sort of uncertainty hung over the nature of the proceedings to be instituted against them, I silenced all personal consi deration of pride or self-interest; but now that I have ful filled an engagement, voluntarily entered into, now that the power of speech is at length restored, I shall pull down to the very foundation the scaffolding of false statements and misrepresentations which calumny has so artfully raised before the eyes of the public, so as to mislead its opinion by completely intercepting the truth. It is in England that I shall produce my proofs, because England is the land of genial liberty, in which politics have not reduced justice to subjection ; here a judge does not become a ministerial tool; the courts are inaccessible to intimidation or to other unworthy considerations ; the:Bench is independent ; those who are entrusted with judicial authority are impressed with the inflexible uncompromising sternness of the duties which they have to discharge, any of them rendering him self subservient to the heads of the police, or any other de partment, is peifectly unheard of. In England the principle of responsibility is constantly and practically adhered to; a citizen can safely place himself in an attitude of defence against persecution; justice can be claimed and appealed to by alt ; strictly impartial, it communicates the impar tiality of the laws of the country to the judicial organs whose office it is to expound and apply them ; every man has a right to appeal to appeal to those laws, and every man knows that they will protect him, if he is really entitled to their protection. It is sufficiently well known that I have now resided in London for nearly seven years; that several autograph letters of the Duke of Orleans, written by him (during the period he was himself an emigrant) to the Count d'Entrai gues, to whom they aro directed, have long been in my possession : it is further known that I possess more recent ones, among others, forty-two confidential notes, which hase found their way out of the private papers of Talleyrand ; several of these letters and flutes have been inserted in the Gazette de France, and the paper called La France, without my direct consent, indeed without my being at all privy to the circum stance. But it must be admitted that nothing can be more indisputable than the genuiae authenticity of these docu ments. Their publication has created considerable uproar in France, yet, strange to say, not one individual has been found either candid ur courageous enough to state that these documents had been published in London partly as fat-similes, under the title of " Cortespondetace of the Emi grant Prince." These 27 pages (of which the Gazette exhibited the original autographs in Court,) were thus made known in England in 1835 ; subsequently the notes and extracts of the secret correspondence of Louis Philippe with Talleyrand made its appearance in 1839, in the anti. Philippist paper entitled the Portefeuille Francais, dedi cated to M. Thiess, with this epigraph, " the style is the man." Very many copies were sold publicly, with all the usual forms, such as are customary, I mean, in England. Not only, as has been above stated, were nine pages fac-simile ef the secret correspondence publicly and equally distributed to club-houses, libraries, hotels, and public establishments, but I myself have, at various pe riods, directed and personally delivered them in London ; they have also been forwarded by me to Paris, to the lead ing individuals whose names arc here subjoined : To Count Sebastiani, Ambassador to the British Court. To Field-Marshal Soult, Ambassador Most Extraordi nary to the Court of St. James's. 'l'o the Duke de Nemours, at his own residence. To the Duke de Caze, at the Luxembourg. To the Baron Pasquier, ditto. To Count Camille Montalivet. To Field-Marshal Gerard, Paris. To Baron Bourquenay, Charge d'Affaires. And lately also, with a complete set of the " Carica ture," together with the 27 pages fac-simile, &c. &c., to Monsieur Guizot, then Ambassador in London. Besides which they were sent to many others, more or less important individuals, whose names at the pre sent moment escape my recollection; yet they have had in France the audacity to charge with forgery several editors of newspapers, who have done nothing more than reproducing my publications, the autograph originals of which have all beet, and still partly are in my possession; the English papers, all the London papers, have received copies of the whole of my publications, fee-similes, carica tures, and others, ever since 1835. The proof of what is here stated, were it needed, could be very easily given, by merely bringing forward the receipts and vouchers for in sertions, more or less expensive, in the Chronicle, Morn ing Post, SiVirist, Standard, Court Journal, &c. &c. The Times alone refused to insert all, and the True Sun of 1835 alone inserted gratis as much as two columns. I courted by all manner of means the judicial investiga tion of these documents, and impressions from the auto graphs, which were, and still are, in my possession; num beiless obstacles were thrown in the way of my publica tions, the fear of some, the pusillanimity of others, operated for a long while as a bar to my exertions; had I calumniated Louis Philippe—had my statements been false, the English law would have visited me, while it would have afforded him protection ; but his Ambassador and Emissaries well knew there were no means of bribing or intimidating me into silence, and therefore they kept still, thinking, no doubt, the less they said about it the better it was for their master. I have been informed that Mr. Philippe Dupin, the worthy champion of the tri-coloured purity of his patron Philippe of Orleans, hid re-echoed the malignant stupidi ties and nonsensical calumnies proceeding from the cor respondent of the Morning Post (vide the insertion of the 20th of January, 1641) and the Prussian State Gazette ; whence such stuff was derived as as a very transparent mystery, truly worthy of the origin from whence it ema nated, as one of the papers then stated, it was easy to recognise a pen just fresh from the Police office, and to the same impure source may be traced what found its way in Berlin (vide the State Gazette), through the medium of Baron Arnim, a sort of unattached diplomatist, whose credit is as problematical as his employment. The Learned Barrister, Philippe Dupin, stated that I had opened a species of bazaar where I sold autographs; that I had had recourse to numberless manoeuvres in order to compel French Ministers and Louis Philippe himself to purchase letters which were forged and falsified by me. Now Mr. Philippe Dupin has knowingly stated:that which he ought to have known to be untrue ; and what stamps it with a peculiar degree of impudence is, that he has seen the original documents. It is further stated that Mr. Philippe Dupin has dressed and undressed my old literary fame ; he is entitled to my thanks; he unwittingly supplies isle with a parallel in which are blended royal and melancholy recollemions; the beautiful and unfortunate Mary of Scotland, as the execu tioner, previous to the said performance of hie office, pro ceeoed to remove from her shoulders part of her vestments, could not help saving ; " I had certainly never antici pated that fate held in reserve for me so strange and un leoked-fer a lady's-maid I" let me welcome you, Mr. Dupin I But to come to the point, I absolutely challenge ti e learned gentleman ; 1 am ready to prove, before the com petent authorities, that the copies I sent to Paris, in order to collect subscriptions for my collections, arc scrupulously correct and verbatim, the counterpart of the autographs (which a re m y propertt,) penned by Louie-Philippe, with his own hand, during his emigra tion, and subsequently during the years he has been on the Throne, as these documents proceeding from Talleyrand's secret papers evidently show. These original documents do not consist, as has been falsely represented, in a few scattered scraps, or detached fragments, but in a body of letters, memoirs, proclamations, notes, and letigth ened memorandums of both periods of the life of Louis Philippe of Orleans, where the same train of thoughts may be observed threading its course and unfolding itself, according as successive events give those thoughts room for expansion. I have sought, courted, challenged investiga tion (in this land of liberty well understood); any jury er set of comoetent individuals, would at once level with the dust the edifice Mr. Dupin has been endeavouring to prop up by means of his wilfully erroneous statements. No honest man or set of honourable men could for one mo ment doubt the evidence that would be produced before them, as to the undeniable authenticity of all these papers in the own hand-writing of Louis Philippe of Orleans. The result of the suit instituted by the Gazette de France against the Messager, has proved that the Judges chose to close their eyes against the truth which stared them in the face ; they sealed their eyelids, bent, deter mined as they were, not to see what was before them; the original authentic documents have been produced; I can produce one hundred snore if it wt re necessary ; but what is the use ? the Learned Judge on the bench would turn away his eyes, and the Attorney-General would pull off his glasses, no doubt in order to descant with better ease (yet in his mouth it is somewhat awkward), on the immorality of such pub lications, and on the violation of the secrets of private cor respondence; it must be owned that there is something comically absurd in such observations from such a quarter; and bearing in mind the system by which France is at pre sent ruled, it would delight mo much to be told in what co nsists the immorality an d violation of confidenet. so emphatically insisted upo n in the preosrent meto stance. Well, well, I see it ; it is necessary fnone come to the assistance of the Learned Gentleman; of these letters or papers were ever addressed to.meLper had suc sonally, as a political publicist; I purchased lac na don those those relative to the emigration, from a party who was already the third individual in whose hands they eflayr answerless curious the cessively passed ; I bought themhattn order to publish them. under similar circum: every one will agree with me, t stances, things are published or interesting; so we can day- most a f treers oday,lut that the scandal exists in this Learned Attorney General, matter, nowhere else than in the opinions, principles, and un- urenchmanlike atrocities expressed in the original letters cif Louis Philippe when a n emigrant Pei nce , and subse quently continue d tbroughout, in the secret correspondence us latter co ll ec ti on w a s of the king of the French. Tl • given me, and therefore also became my property for publa. consequeetly the Learned Attorney-General will cation ; allow me to tell him, that in point of morality and scandal, allowed or disallowed, he is not looked upon by me as a competent judge., MORNING EDITION'. If, after all, the head of the French Government bad really been very anxious to prove that I had falsified, imitated, or fabricated wholly or partly his letters, about which so much has been said, wby did he not strike at the very root of the evil? instead of seizing the public papers, throwing the editors in prison, he ought to have attacked me directly; he ought at once by legal process to have compelled me to produce my proofs. Here in London I would have fearlessly produced them : whereas now, look ing at the time elapsed since they were first published, I have undoubtedly the right to resist such an application; yet I shrink not from it, and am ready to produce the proofs whenever legally and properly called upon to do so. I then, for the last time, again affirm to the public at large that the letters written during the emigration, ad dressed to the Comte d'Entraigues by Louts Philippe, Duke of Orleans, (26 pages published in London as fac-similes) that the originals, I repeat, from, which these fac-similes were struck off are perfectly authentic, and that all asser tions as to their having been truncated or falsified, are as egregiously groundless as they are prodigiously absurd. Further, I attest and declare that the 42 notes and scraps, proceeding from the private papers of Prince Tal leyrand, are equally authentic, beyond the possibility of a doubt or of a question being raised ; all my publications from l 835, down to 1839 are going to be republished, and a numerous edition of fac-similes will shortly make its appearance before the public. Isbell glee due notice through the medium of the most widely circulating papers here and abroad, of the appearance of le volume unique which will contain one hundred and twenty-six pages, fac-similes of the writing of Louis Philippe, from one end to the other, part of which has been published already, but the other part never has yet; the whole, being taken from the autegraphs, according to the newest and most improved process, will be, of course, the very counterpart of the original docu ments ; the said volume will be preceded by a fac-simile specimen of the large and small writing of the same indi vidual, which specimen will be composed of the most re markable and prominent extracts and sentences ; and le volume unique will further contain some critical as well as moral strictures, and a comparative view of the two pe,iods so strikingly different from each other, that of the Emi gration, and the latter period, namely, the Royalty of the 7th of August; very useful and piquante disclosures by " A Statesman," will complete this interesting work, which it will be my care to entrench and strengthen with such a mass of evidence, such a host of unanswerable proofs, that the slightest doubt will not remain one mo ment, even with the most sceptical mind. - The well known impartiality of the British press, en sures to me the assistance of those papers in par icular who have allowed those articles to be inserted, which were directed against me, and contained the aspersions, defamatory abuse, and opprobrious statements which have been so prodigally lavished upon me ; those leading Jour nals who have unconsciously been the means of affording to calumnies of an unwarrantable description a most ex tensive circulation, will not refuse me is bat I ask in the name of common justice—naraely, the admission of this my declaration in their columns. THE CONTEMPORAINE, Proprietor and responsible Editor of the " French Caricature " in London, and of the Fac-simile Correspondence of Louis Philippe. 24, Tunbridge-place, New-road, opposite Judd-street. I am ctedibly informed that Monsieur tie St. Aulaire has positive orders on his arrival in London to institute proceedings against me and compel my appearance in Court. Dear me, what unlooked for, unhoped, heartfelt gratification it will afford me ; it will afford me an oppor. tunity of appealing to Louis Philippe's Ambassador per sonally, producing to his Excellency a fae-simile of an original letter of his (the Count de St. Aulaire's) with his signature, at the time he was chairman to the Greek Committee in 1826. I shall take the liberty to ask the Ambassador, after he has re-perused his own letter, which I must admit to be most polite and flattering to myself, • whether in his opinion, it is within the reach of possibility • to produce a fac-siatile excepting from the original.

ELOPEMENT.—BRIGIITON, APRIL 14.—Au Evening Contemporary stated on Monday that a lacy in one of our fashionable squares had eloped with an officer of the 11th Hussars. This is not true, but we arc sorry to say the peace Of a highly respectable family in one of the squa-es has been broken by a projected elopement, which was detected in time to prevent the flight of the lady. The frail fair one has a family of three or four chil dren, and her beauty is questiona'ule. Her manners, how ever, are lively and engaging. We believe that the children have since been removed from the care of the mother. The plot was discovered by the husband, who intercepted a letter which the maid was about to convey from her mistress to her guilty paramour. , I MARRIAGE IN HIGII LIFE.—On Tuesday • last, at St. George's Church, Hanover-square, Lord Mont i eag le to Miss Mary Anne Marshall, eldest daughter of Mr. John 'Marshall, of Hallstead, Cumberland.
