lINCILISH AND BRISTOL CHANNELS' JUNCTION CANAL.. 'lt is -with unfeigned pleasure that we perceive notices to have been given for bringing the Ship . Canal between the Bristol and English -Channels immediately under the consideration of Parlia ment. We have perused with extreme interest the ptPliminary report of Mr. E [soup, the engineer, which leaves not a doubt of its practicability, and warmly enter into the well-founded expectations of the Committee. The woollens of South Wales in general, the slate and coal of Glamorgaushire, the copper of Swan sea, (where all the ores from Cornwall are melt ed), the iron of Merthyr, Tydevil, and Aber Dare, and the groceries of Bristol will thus with unwonted facility be supplied .to the whole of the south coast of England; and to that, which after all, must be the great emporium of corn pierce, a London Market. If further induce• ments were necessary, humanity and patriotism are not wanting to promote so good a cause. The difficulties of circumnavigating the land's end have already been stated, but it is not this alone that the mariner has to dread.—From per sonal experience we have reason to know that the navigation of all the lower part of the Bristol channel is peculiarly dangerous. The • 'velocity of the tide, which frequently comes up ith a head of 5 or 6 feet when added to the prevalent minds from the south-west makes it, under such circumstances, next to impossible to .beat down : even in the chops of the channel, uhilst in a gale of wind the iron-bound coast of the North of Devon and Cornwall threatens cer tain destruction, there is no friendly port for which a distressed vessel can bear, except the distant ones of Padstow or Milford. Those who have witnessed during the fair months of summer the perilous situation of.a ship.embayed below Hart land Point, with the usual wind blowing in shore, can alone form an adequate idea of the wintry terrors of that long barrier of cliff's opposed to the fury of the Atlantic. The zeal with which the design has been taken up by the Nation is a sure test of its merit. We hail the increased activity of the proprietors as an omen of success, and congratolate the Public at large on a work, the commencement of which may be well consi dered as a triumph of national prosperity.— The foundations of Roman greatness, it is true,' were laid by the victorious arms of the Re public, but it was her j udicious policy and the pacific government of the second Caesar, which consolidated her wealth and magnificence. It was then, first, that tier widely dissemi !tilted colonies became the bond of indissoluble anion, and one absorbing principle pervaded countries whose peculiar interests were as various . as their climates ,and manners were distinct, and --the facilities offered to commerce, by widely ex -tending roads and public security, tempted the merchant from the Euphrates to the Pillars of Hercules, The Military power of the Imperial Mistress of the world has long since passed away the pinion of her up-soaring eagle has drooped.: the name of the eternal city is left. as little more than a moral to adorn a tale; hut her roads, her cloacce, her aqueducts, to thii play unrivalled, still , remain as less perishable memorials of a grandeur' truly Roman. leis in such a point of view that we are dis pose►d to regard this undertaking of our country. I men. At a period when England is emerging with renewed tisoUr from her difficulties ; when lalkour, is cheap,.mund .capital abundant;,. , w,hen at home, front the -,manufucturer to the ,agri culturist, all is peace and prosperity.; when abroad her navies have opened -.to..the remotest extremities of the globe new ,paths to.her com merce, we see a society of individuals accom plkhing a design of national importance and zees rearing to the glory of the State a monu ment of which Kings bight be proud. The breadth of the, isthmus of Suez is :per haps something greater than the distance i n this case to be cut through, but the attempts of OF predecessors of thp Ptolemies were abortive, and those intelligent Vionarchs. themselves never contemplated a project on a scale so magnificent as this. The fatuous canal of .Languedoc must How of necessity sink into comparative insigni. licence ; the idea of a passage'for fleets remained for more enterprizing times. Again, we may congratulate the country. It Was -reserved for her, whose boast it is that her merchants are as Princes, and the rights of her • citizens the surest pledge of constitutional free dom, to eitablish by the voluntary act of • duals, her fame in works equal to any which on • Contluental Europe have been created by the hand of military despotism, or wrung from the la- hours of sufTering'Pe°Ple• Whilst we remember, Abat the wonders of the Simplon, and the .earlier so plans ,-' ttrch of,liannibal originated in of blood sited and conquest, it is doubly gratifying to see the arts of peace, thus rivalling and eclipsing military glories. Let us proceed as we have be gup., and whilst in the latter we proudly yield to none, let us in the former exhibit to our con temporaries, and leave to posterity, in works such as these, imperishable records of the supe riot ity of Britons. THE CITY OF LONDON HOME MISSIONARY AUXILIARY SOCIETY. In pursuance of public notice, a very respect able and numerous meeting assembled last evening at the City of London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of form. ing a Home Missionary Society exclusively' for the Metropolis, and to be denominated as above, "The City of London Home Missionary Auxiliary Society." It IC HARD H U MPIIRE Y MARTIN, Esq., was called to the Chair. The CHAIRMAN opened the business of the meeting by a ge neral commentary on the numerous advantages which religious instruction is calculated so confer on society at large. Those advantages were visible in the great moral revolution produced UT the exertions of other Societies which held the same great object in view. The diffiesion of the Gospel through the in strumentality of Bible Associations .was the first in point of vi tality. The Tract and Sunday School Societies walked hand in hand as it were, diffusing around them the light of intellect and the blessings of truth, dispelling the dark clouds of ignorant superstition, and opening the human mind to the bright pros pect of ealvation. The Seamen's Friend and Port of London Institutions had also thrown ffi their mite to the Treasury.— The Foreign and Home Missionary Societies also claimed regard for their invaluable exertions in this good work.— But was it not to be lamented, that in the Metropolis of En'g land nothing had hitherto been attempted in regard to the establishment of a Missionary Society peculiarly for Lon don ? It might be argued that the Home Missionary So ciety already in existence was equal to the discharge of all and every duty that presented itself; but this he (the Chair man) should deny. The Home Missionary Society's la bours were devoted rather to the country parts, where there was more to be done than they could possibly accomplish, without looking to London at all. It might be contended that the number of places set apart for Divine Worship in the Metropolis did away the necessity of Missionary exer tions: that also he should deny. The duty of the Mis sionary was to go forth into die lanes and alleys, the remote streets and obscure courts, where vice and ignorance were united to oppose him—where the voice of a Minister had per haps never been heard—and where the name of God had never been aspired but in blasphemy. If in the country parts there was more ignorance to contend with, in London there was more vice—more confirmed depravity. These were the objects con templated in the formation of the proposed Society, and lie trusted that it would find supporters. Mr. J. Colorer (one of the Secretaries to the Home Mis sionary Society), in commenting on the general benefits arising from the Institution with which he was connected, expressed his opinion that the Home Missionary Society, however important as to the villages and hamlets, could not efficiently operate in the metropolis. On referring to the circular lately published by the Parent Society, it would appear that thirty Missionaries are now labouring amidst a population of more than one hundred and thirty thousand persons; two hundred anti twenty villages were thus visited, and three thousand boys were educating in the principles of the Christian Religion, and tracts were daily circulated and gratefully received. It was also pleasing to say that the receipts during the last year, including subscriptions,', donations, ilec. amounted to 701101. These were consolatory facts, and should stimulate to still further exertions. Some ob. jection had been made thet ehere was not to be found that gross ignorance in the country which called for those extraordinary exertions. It was not necessary to go back to Salisbury Plain, or the Isle of Anglesea for the remains of Druidical supersti tion, or to search the Vatican for the dregs of Popery. One in stance of existing folly would suffice—At a village in Hereford a poor woman troubled with disease was recommended to apply for part of the Sacramental offerings, and to melt die money into a ring, which she was to wear as a charm. The re quest was granted, the ring was worn; and in the next pa roxysm she strangled her own child ! Many other proofs of gross ignorance and prejudice might be adduced which would . plainly prove the necessity of Missionary exertions throughout the country at large, but he conceived that such exertions were even now imperatively called for in the Metropolis, and that therefore the Institution of the proposed Society was peculiarly desirable. The Rev. on proposing the first Resolu tion,took a general view of the several Charitable Institutions already established, and concluded by. putting it to the good sense of the meeting, whether the intended one was to want sufficient support to bring it on equality with them in point of utility. The Rev. DAVIS seconded the Resolution, which was for naming the Society as above, and urged the expediency of adopt ing the plan pursued by the Rev. Dr. Chalmers in the city of Glasgow —namely, that of dividing the city into districts. The Rev. HOIHIOUSE prOposed a Resolution for the ap pointment of officers, &c. which was ably seconded by Mr. Al tt.r. E it, the Cash Secretary to the Home missionary Society, who gave an interesting statement relative to the affairs of the Institution. _ _ The Rev. IL EAsow proposed the third Resolution, and took a general review of the charities of England in the words do. celebrated Foreigner, who observed, " That our l'iospitals re sembled splendid palaces, and that England, despising courtly pomp and political parades, had suffet.td her palaces to go to decay, insomuch that they were altogether unworthy of a Fo -reigrier's notice." Amongst all those bright gems in the Me. tropolitan Crown, one was still wanting—a Missionary Society for London, which he was even glad to find on the eve of a foundation.—This Resolution was seconded by the Rev. Drake, of Cambridge. .The fourth Resolution was proposed by the Rev. KEY WORTH, who bore testimony from experience to the ignorance which prevails throughout the villages in England. The Rev. MOORE followed in a very ablespeech, which, we regret, our limits will nut permit us to give. The Rev. OwEN then proposed a Vote of Thanks to the Chairman, seconded by. the Rev. WYATT, and the Meeting dissolved. after. a considerable subscription was made in support of its funds. HIGH BAILIFF OF SOUTHWARK. Several Members of the Corporation held -a meciing at the Guildhall -Coffee-house, upon the subject of supporting the election of a fit anti proper person to serve the office of High-B a iliff o f the Town and Borough of Southwark, vacant by the resignation of John Prinsep, Esq. It wax moved , and seconded,. th a t M r . Holmes, the present principal clerk of the Court of Bequest s , Was a person well qualified to discharge the duties of the office, and entitled, from his long experience in the _particular br a n c h o f k now l e d ge requ i s i te i n a can did ate , as well as from his long services in the Corporation, to the si tuation. After .° lll e obaervatlons upon the propriety of sup porting the elect i on of this gentleman, ..a motion to that effect was unanimously a_greed,to. The other candidates are Boyce.Co m b e , E sq . , an d Alderman Anslie, but it has been said thatbefore an Alderman can stand forward as a candidate, he must throw aside his gown. Air. Holmes, upon the former election . .for the sam e office, at the death of Sir Watkyn Lewis, was a candidate, but his chance was trifling compared with the claim of Mr. Prinsep, who had been an East India merchant of the highest respectability, an Alderman of the city of London, and a man greatly beloved by his fellow.citizens. . It is reported that Mr. Prinsep's.son-in-law, a gentleman of largefortune, upon seeing that the Court of Common Council had taken a decided part against the High-Bailiff, imme diately advised his father-in-law to throw up the situation.alto -gether without ceremony; and it is also said that Mr. Prinsep will undergo no inconvenience whatever in consequence of his resignation. MF,THODISTS.--We understand that all .the local preachers in the Methodist Society, at Beverley, resigned their office, as preachers and members of that society, a few days ago, on tiles - round of one of,their body having, as they conceived,' been unjustly treated by the Conference Preachers, for publishing Observations on the System of Methodism--a work in, which he advocate s the plan of establishing a house of represent at i ves, whose consent must be obtained before any.law of preachers can be binding on the people, in imitation of our excellent Constitution ; and lie idso favours a gradual return of Alethodkni to its primitive simplieity, in becoining auxiliary to the .Establitilied Church, as 'Mr. Wesley always intended it should be. It IA , understood that they.intend to invite over mile of the t ravel l ing preachers i n the Church Methodist 86: ciety of Ireland to assist them. Thereare already shout 13,000 Church Methodists in Ireland, whose plan of proceedings has obtained, we are informed, the sanction of the Bishops of Wa terford anti Cork. We understand, from good authority, that several persons of consequence in this country arc friendly to their proceedings.—( York Herald.) HAMBURGIT, Noy. 23. (FLLOM OUR. CORRESPONDENT.) This city has been one scene of Mourning in consequence of a German vessel, commanded by Capt. BAnt, having been wrecked off Heligoland last Sunday, in a frightful storm ; and with passeng_ers bound to this place from London. Several were natives of Hairiburgh, and merchants of high re- i spectability. There were :three ladies, one of whom was greatly advanced in life that perished, and two of them sisters, natives of Riga. A tremendous sea carried away her most s,and washed severalsailors overboard early In the morning, and in the after noon she was dashed in pieces. One person has been miracu lously saved, who was a journeyman baker, and had gone to London in search of emplojment. - He was on part of the wreck about 36 hours, and when it was washed ashore he was taken up in a state of insensibility. He was brought here and now lies a shocking spectacle, in one of the Hospitals. What adds to this calamity is, that the brother of the Captain, who was passenger, was on his way to Hamburgh to solemnize his marriage with a young woman of Stockholm, who came from that place to meet him. The Captain has left four children.— A subscription is set on toot for them, and several thousand , marks have been raised by the benevolent Hamhurghers. .The young woman has intimated in the Prints here the death of her friend, and mentioned that they had been engaged in marriage; and the partners have in a similar manner advertised the loss of the Gentlemen who were Members of the Mercantile Establish ment to which they belonged. Such a torrent of rain has not been known in this city since the year 1791, and the most serious apprehensions were entertained. Many . of the streets in the old town were under nine feet of water, in con sequence of which families who are so numerous in shops below ground were obliged to quit them to save their lives. The damage done is great, and boats have been sailing along the most public streets. The accounts from all parts of the country are most distress ing, and in many all communication is cut off. At Rhensberg, beyond Slcswig, where I was last week, the country resembles a vast sea ; one hundred miles of land are under water, which has covered the public roads. I was obliged to take My car riage through fields to get forward, and to ford the water in many parts. In that country I was told such a terrible deluge had never been known in the memory of the oldest per son. I saw carts with boats going along the roads to several places, for the accommodation of those whose houses are under water. The rain still continues in Hamburgh, and accounts from the coast are disastrous. In thelate gale a Norwegian vessel and a Dutch one went down. The English packets were kept back. One weathered here after experienc ing much damage. I have just met here an English family from London, who had been strongly solicited to embark in the German vessel which I have mentioned, was lost. This they declined, on the idea that an English vessel was more safe, and they arrived in one from the Thames in eight days, and to this cause do they owe their safety. It is said, that if Captain RAIN had had long boats at tached to his ship they might have been the means of saving the passengers ; while others are disposed to think, that in such a sea it was impossible to save tile vessel, especially when she had early lost so many of her hands. Ido not know any event which has occasioned here a greater sensation and mourning than the loss of so many souls. None of the bodies have been found. The vessel was loaded with merchandize. The ther mometer of Fahreinheit is at 40 and 45. London Papers of the 9th only arrived. The posts from Hanover and other parts in the direction of the Rhine arrive a day later than usual. All accounts represent the overflow of the : Rhine, which is perfectly impassable in many parts. The steam-boat from this to Har burg is given up for the winter, and persons conveyed to and fro in common boats. Next summer it is said that a steam. boat will be established between Lubec and Petersburgh, which will be an object, if practicable, of high importance. Last week, the venerable Count Sit at MELmAx, Minister of Denmark, gave a splendid dinner at his palace, Copen hagen, to the - French Ambassador, who had arrived there on his way to Stockholm. All the Foreign Ministers were pre.. sent. 11.1 essrs. RAE,. L so N , BROWN, and other English Gentlemen, were invited. The venerable Prince of HESSE, one of the most accom plished Princes in Europe of the old school, now upwards of 80 y ea rs of age,. resides at the Palace of Sleswig, Denmark. His Highness is in good health, with a strong memory. ' He is son of a sister of GEORGE the 2d of En land, and his daughter is the present Queen of Denmark. His knowledge of Egyptian antiquities and hieroglyphics is said to be most remarkable. THE ARMY• Major-General Darling, it is said, will be appointed Gover nor of New South Wales.

SOLEAI QUIS DICLRE FALSUM iIUDEAT LON DON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DEC. 8, 1824. We have received this morning the Paris Morning and Evening Papers of Sunday. In the official part of the Moniteur there is a Royal Ordinance, authorizing the anonymous Society, formed under the name of the Society of the Public Baths of Bordeaux. The non-official part does not contain any article worth extracting, and the following are taken from the other Papers : ( From the Journal des Dellats.) (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) MADRID, Nov. 28. Every thing here indicated the evacuation of the Peninsula. Two regiments had Liready set out, and others were to follow. The hospitals, the Administration, the baggage of the Officers of the Army, all were removing. The corps destined to remain at Madrid had been de signated, their Commanders, &c. nominated.— These movements at Madrid were simultaneous with those on other points of the Peninsula which are to be evacuated, so that there re mained no doubt that the evacuation %%as a de termined measure. However, all these arrangements, all these preparations have been suspended, at least in part, since the arrival of a Courier with dis patches containing a fresh treaty, by which France consents to leave in the Peninsula 10,000 men, and also the garrisons of Saragossa and Santona, which were to have been evacuated. It would be vain to attempt describing the joy and surprise manifested on every countenance as soon as the news was circulated in our Salons. (From the Constitutionnel ) (EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.) MADRID, NOV. 28. A Cabinet Courier has just arrived from Paris with the agreeable news that his Most Christian Majesty, in consequence of the representations of our Charge d'Affaires at Paris relative to the serious evils that would arise out of the entire evacuation of the Peninsula,has consented to leave there a corps of 10,000 men, and the garrisons of Tarragona and Santana, which were to have quitted the country. It has been asserted that negociations were on foot to obtain this concession, and it was :ma gined that our Government would have consented to all, or at least to some of the demands made by the Cabinet of the Tuileries, relative to the establishment in the Peninsula of a Government capable of conciliating the , interests of all parts, and to the publication of a full and entire am nesty, from which only a few persons, designated by name, should be excepted. However, when we considr that terrorism, in stead of diminishing, is daily increasing, and that the most mOderate persons who prevented very great evils under the Constitutional Government, and who have hitherto lived quietly at their homes, are now prosecuted in every part of the Peninsula, imprisoned and thrown into dungeons designed for the vilest criminals, we are morally convinced that no concession has been made by our Government, and that the Cabinet of the Tuileries has, in its own discretion, delayed the entire evacuation which would have plunged Spain into an abyss of anarchy and misery. BARCELONA, Nov. 24. Letters from Madrid assure us that to the dipio_ watic intrigues of two great powers is attributed the rejection of propositions full of wisdom and moderation, recently made by the Cabinet of the Tuileries to our Government. (From the EI&le.) PARIS, DEC. 5. The Journal des Debats, the Conslitutionnel, and the Quotidienne announce this day to their readWtfiat the- 'evacuation of Spain by the French troops will not take place. The Journal des Debats and the Constilutionnel insert private letters from Madrid, brought by Express, which give them this information ; the Quotidienne says that a courier was to set out the day before yes.. terday or yesterday, with the order suspending the. march of the troops. In spite of all these asser tions, we persist in declaring that the evacuation was ordered to begin on the Ist of December. The number of General Officers on service or at disposal is now 617, of whom 20G are Lieutenant-Generals, and 411 Major-Gene' rals. By the effect of the Ordinance of. the Ist December, inserted in the ilioniteat of n. 56 e r L ieutenant-Generals, Saturday, 167 of them are placed on half pay, viz . ov. '23.
