' 17t.' Ilitt , -ittit, LONDON : SATURDAY 'MORNING. SEPTEMBER 24, 1842, -- - - The mutual cut-throat system proceeds rapidly. To meet the American tariff, which is the result of Our Corn-laws, it is proposed, we see, to close the ports of our AVct India-islands against Ame• riean shipping, and to levy a duty of Id. or 2d. ler lb. on American cotton. The , first me•=sure would subject the West Indians, already com plaining of decay, to a great additional charge. They must have the supplies of food and lumber :, which th ey get from the U n i te d States; and if their vessels be prohibited front importing. them, the West Indians must pay a higher freight, and the charge of shipping and re-shipping, and pro bably the expense of an additional voyage. So these schemes to bring the Americans to their senses will inflict a serious injury on the %Vest Indians, to whom we must already pay some three or four millions a year for the injury we have, as they say, under the advice of some such meddling madmen, already inflicted on them. Of the same kind of wisdom is the proposition, san ctioned by the Tories, to l evy an additional duty on American cotton. We should like to know whether the merchant who makes th e suggestion has any interest in East India shipping or East India cotton 1 One un disguised object of the proposed tax is to pro mote the cultivation of cotton in India, so that our shipping may be employed in bringing the necessary supply just as in the case of timber— from a diztan , e five times as great as the place whence it could be obtained. This proposal finds favour with the hardware interest, because it suf fers from the American tariff. Already our cot ton manufactur e is struggling under many disad vantages: add to them this proposed increase of the duty on the raw matorial it works up of ld. or 2d. per lb., and the lora of the manor of Man chester may soon send his ploughs into Moseley street. Both these suicidal prrprisals are sug gested by men out of Parliament. Foolish and wicked, therefore, as is our legislation, it would ,Fepoi that the folly of Parliament men is more t h a n matched by the folly of some of the public. Two plans intended to injure another State, and wore certain than these to injure our own people, we never by any chance heard of. Let them be acted on, and the enemies of England will not have any occasion to wish for her decay and de struction. Though the West India Mail Packet Company has our cordial good wishes, we are by no means of opinion that it should be stimulated, by Go vernment support, to continue a ruinous specu lation. At the meeting on Wednesday, Captain SWEENY, of the Royal Navy, plainly stated that it was impossible that the Company could suc ceed; and it is rather too much for the public to throw away 240,000/. a year, in order to enable the Company effectually to ruin itself. We are quite aware of the ungraciousness of making objections to employing the public money, when such a grand project is on foot as maintaining, a steam communication with the West Indies ; but we are of opinion, that steam commercial navigation can be as little profited as agriculture by Government bounties, and, therefore, it be comes our duty to advert to the consequence of so employing nearly a quarter of a million of the public money per year. If the decision on this question be left to the Company itself, or to City Correspondents, it will be settled only in one way. The money will be supplied till the Company be insolvent, and the Proprietors lose their property; and ulti mately the public, through its organ the Govern ment, will have to pay the whole expenses of continuing the project. It is not right, however, to leave the decision of such questions to the parties interested. The public has suffered al ready very much from believino•, that corn growers and land-owners were the best judges of the legislation which would most promote the success of agriculture ; that ship-masters and ship-owners could make the best laws for navi gation ; that iron-founders and silk-weavers were the only reasonable judges of legislation for ma nufactures; and that merchants alone could know any thing of the laws which ought to be made for trade. The public has confided in these se parate classes, and each of them has made, or recommended, laws, which begin by fleecing or injuring the consumer, and end by injuring the producer whom they were intended to benefit. The public, which pays the money, is deeply in terested in the question, and has a right to insist that the Government shall not expend its pro. perty except most economically and most usefully. Government has a duty to perform, and is no more warranted, because:a project looks showy, to devote the public money to it than a woman is warranted in wasting her husband's substance: in purchasing handsome but unnecessary dresses. The Government must have no caprice. It must act exclusively for the public good. Extrava gance brings families to ruin, and though nations are not so easily ruined as families, they can but be injured by a course which is fatal to indivi duals. In this particular case, the Government has not only to consider the merchants and West India proprietors, who will be benefited by the rapid transmission of letters, but it has also to consider the other classes who contribute to pay the money. Altogether, probably, nearly half a million a year is expended in keeping up com munication with foreign countries, all the advantages of which are reaped almost exclu• sively by the mercantile classes. Some of them, like Mr. IRVING, the Chairman of the Company, may be so extensively connected with our colo nies that it is for their advantage even to lose something as proprietors of such a Company, provided they obtain by the loss the means of rapidly conveying passengers, parcels, and letters to the West Indies at the public expense. Such considerations should make the Government and the public extremely cautious how they apply the public money to encourage or promote this private speculation. The duty of the Government is to provide the means of communication with the West Indian colonies in the cheapest and most effectual man ner. Now it has been proved that the plan pro posed and adopted by the Company and the Go vernment is not the cheapest nor most efficacious. It has been proposed to send all the commu nication to the West Indies by the Halifax steamers, instead of sending two lines of steamers across the Atlantic ; and it has been proposed that the mails shall be carried from Halifax to St Thomas's by another steamer. By this means a voyage of '2,500 miles might be saved, and little or no delay be caused. Supposing the sugges tion thrown out in this journal of transmitting the mails through the United States be rejected as impracticable, the plan of sending a steamer between Halifax and St. Thomas's will be a much less costly mode of distributing the let ters than by sending two great steamers instead of one across the Atlantic. Our impression, in deed, continues to be, that it would be in all re- spects wise—notwithstanding the American ta. riff —as promoting commercial intercourse be. tween England and the United States, and be• tween our colonies and the United States—to use the means already in existence in the United States to convey our mails the whole distance between Boston and some extreme southern point of the Republic. We believe that a steamer passing from Halifax to St. Thomas, even calling, as is proposed in the Liverpool Times, at some ports of the United States, would not pay its expenses while the United States offer us the means to send mails a large part of the distance at a small expense. England is already weighed down by public charges. Her Government costs a great deal more than it is worth, and he is the best friend to its continuance in safety, who urges economy upon it in every possible way. To keep up corn munication with the whole Western world is un questionably a good thing - but it will be best kept up by employing only one line of steamers betwixt Halifax and England, and sending all the mails on from Halifax. By adopting such a means of communication the public money might be saved, and the West India Mail Packet Company be kept from ruining itself. COURT CIRCULAR.

The brig Franklyn, of Exeter, Captain Cumming, arrived o't Falmouth on the 22d inst. from Monte Video, for orders, having sailed on the 17th July. Exchange, 42d. Confidence was being restored at Monte Video. Riveira had returned to the town, which is regarded as auguring well in favour of the Monte Videans, who, from some late successes against the Buenos Ayreans at different points, felt encouraged in resisting the yoke to which Rosas wishes to subject them. Some of the vessels under Garibaldi had forced the passage of Martin Garcia, though exposed to the fire of two batteries, and besides they had captured three small vessels under Buenos Ayres colours, but which were only in ballast. The Buenos Ayres vessels, which had been sent igainst the Monte Videan force in Martin Garcia, got aground on a shoal. If all accounts be true, the tyranny of Rosas is working his downfal. Chili, not being able to ob tain redress for the injustice done to her subjects, has declared war against the Government of Buenos Ayres. Rioja and others of the upper provinces had in consequence taken up arms against Rosas, and by letters from Corrientes to the 19th of June, that Go vernment had also called upon all the inhabitants, be tween the age of 14 and 50, to resist allegiance to the authority of the Buenos Ayres Governor. Mr. Gordon, agent for the British Government, and who has been deputed to proceed to Uruguay, had re turned to Monte Video, Rosas having refused him per mission to pass through the Argentine territory, thus pre venting him to proceed on his mission. Rosas lays claim to the right of directing the foreign relations with Uruguay. It will now rest to be seen whether Eng land, France, &c., will submit to the caprice of the Buenos Ayrean Government, which prevents the ca pital of their merchants being profitably employed, as also closing not only an extensive field for the con sumption of their manufactures, but likewise placing a barrier to the employment which their shipping would enjoy. H. Mandeville, British Envoy to the Argentine Republic, had arrived at Monte Video, and we hand you herewith a copy of his communication to the British merchants respecting the treaty : " Monte Video, July 15, 1842. " Gentlemen—ln the month of December last you delivered to me a memorial, signed by the British merchants and residents in Monte Video, expressing a hope that on the occasion of my visit to this city the amicable relations between her Majesty's Government and the Republic of the Uruguay might be more firmly cemented and protected, by the conclusion of a treaty of amity and commerce. "I have the satisfaction to acquaint you, that yes terday evening I concluded and signed a treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation on the part of her Majesty and this Republic. " I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your obedient humble servant, "H. MANDEVILLE. " To John Gowland, Esq., F. De Lisle, Esq., J. Steward, Esq." Trade in manufactured goods was improving.

LORD ASHBURTON'S ARRIVAL FROM NEW YORK. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY AFTERNOON. The Warspite, 50, Captain Lord John Hay, arrived at Spithead this afternoon, bringing home Lord Ash burton from his mission in America. His Lordship left the Warspite between two and three o'clock, and landed at Gosport, the ship saluting him when he left her, and the batteries upon his landing. The Warspite has been seventeen — days from America, having left on the morning of the sth inst. She was becalmed two days, or would have made the run in fifteen days. Lord Ashburton upon his landing at Gosport, immediately proceeded to his residence at Anglesey, where Lady Ashburton has been waiting his arrival. LOSS OF A RUSSIAN LINE-OF. BATTLE SHIP. SUPPOSED LOSS OF 400 LIVES. LEITII, SEPT. 22.—The following is a translated extract of a letter, dated Christiansand, 15th Septem ber, 1842, addressed to Mr. Dahl, of the firm of Ferguson, Davidson, and Co., merchants here (Leith) : " The dulne3s here (Christiansand) has been inter rupted by the circumstance of the Russian line-of battle ship the Ingermanland having been wrecked, on the night preceding the 12th instant, on the small rock called Groningen, about two English miles off this place. " The weather was fearful, a severe gale blowing from the east, with a heavy saa. About half-past ten o'clock on Sunday morning (the 11th) we heard uninterrupted firing of heavy cannon, which con tinued till two, a.m., the following day. Twice during the night the Government steam-packet North Cape was sent out to discover the cause, as also several pilot-cutters ; but it appeared the ship had got off the rock, and driven rapidly to the westward, so that they did not see her. " On Tuesday morning accounts were received that a line-of-battle ship was drifting westward off the Naze, and the Government steam-packet was again sent out, and, having come up with her about 36 English miles west of the Naze, she succeeded in saving 150 of the crew. By crafts from Mandahl and Fahrsand, 300 men and several of the officers had been previously saved. The captain of the ship had been amongst the first to leave the vessel, and in her was his lady, who remained on board, and was subse quently saved by one of the Mandahl boats. " The merchants of Mandahl, at their own expense, fitted up and sent off two vessels, which saved as many of the Russians as they could carry, until the steamer arrived and took off the remainder. It is said the crew consisted of 936 men, of whom about 500 are saved • but this requires confirmation. "Thei ship is now drifting with two anchors out, which were let go when she struck, in the hope of keeping her near the rock. The Ingermanland is now lying with her deck level with the water, the fore and mainmasts gone, and only her wizen standing. She is in a very dangerous place for shipping, being in the direct track. Should she get as far as the reef or Skajerack, she may ride there during the whole win ter, should her anchors hold. " Her guns were all thrown overboard."

Pirou, Deputy Post master-General of France. We feel warranted thence in anticipating the satisfactory conclusion of a nego tiation calculated at once to draw closer the friendly relations of the two countries, and to facilitate epistolary correspondence, by reducing the enor mous charge at present imposed upon it; for it is but justice to those who direct the affairs of the British Post-office to state, that all the propositions for that desirable change originated with them. Let us hope that their French contemporaries will perse vere in the line of liberality and good thense that they have entered upon, and that all the grounds of com plaint hitherto advanced against them will disappear. For the alteration of the postage duties, the necessity will become obvious, when it shall be known that the smuggling of letters into England and France reci procally is carried to an almost incredible extent. The postage on a letter from Dover to London is only ld.; the duty on a letter from Calais to Paris 10 sous (something less than 5d.) ; while the charge on a letter from Paris to London (or from London to Paris) is Is. Bd. (or 40 sous). The French authori ties are, however, it appears, now converts to the principle that reduced duties diminish smuggling, and are earnest in their desire for at least a trial of it. No doubt need be entertained that their advances will he met in the b est s p irit on this side the water. — Times. The Phare de la Rochelle states that two women, mother and daughter, residing near the high road be tween Marennes and Saintes, were, some days back, bitten by a cow, which one of the m was milking, and hydrophobia having ensued, they both died in dread ful torments. • 11l b g ti eg *tronblZbition SUN OFFICE Three o'Clock. We congratulate the community, and in par- ticular we congratulate the labouring classes, that men in high places—that the leading or gans of public sentiment, are beginning to open their hearts and understanding, to the important fact that the poverty and discontent of the la bouring classes are endangering the peace and happiness of all classes, and require to be imme diately remedied. The Times of this morning has an article in which this doctrine is clearly and manfully laid down. " What," it says, "is really the rising political evil which so many appear dimly to apprehend, and so few distinctly to realize and grapple with ? Is it not this— that property and labour arc beginning to array themselves against each other? Is the labourer as well off as his labour deserves Ts 75., Bs., or even 9s. Bd. a week (a price which a Man chester employer takes to himself' some credit for giving, and which exceeds the wages of many agricultural counties) a satisfactory remu neration for 72 hours of toil ? Is not the per ception of this stinging fact the real source of that discontent of which we have so lately seen a startling ebullition ? Does not the disaffection derive its force from the truth of this complaint ?" There is a full justification for disaffection ; there too is the condemnation of the present boasted system; for our Contemporary admits that the agricultural labourers are worse off than manufacturing labourers. But while the Times clearly sees the mighty evil, it can find no remedy for it. " Evils," it says, " which rise from a deep-seated natural propensity are not to be dealt with by a tax or a tariff. Avarice can scarcely be repealed by Act of Parliament." Reflect, reader, what does this amount to ? Evils cannot be cured by law, passions cannot be put down by Parliament. The Times proclaims, where the good of the labouring classes is Concerned, the impotency of legislation. They will say, if it cannot protect us from the avarice of the upper classes, why does it pretend to provide for every part of society ? The fact is, Acts of Parliament sanc tion, nourish, and consecrate the avarice of the landowners, the avarice of the priesthood, and the avarice of certain classes of capitalists ; they cause the evil, and will not allow of that being counteracted by freedom in the other classes. There is no rooting out of the heart the love of wealth, and what the Legislature ought to do is to give it free play in all classes; then would the avarice of the landlords, the avarice of the priests, and the avarice of the ca pitalists, be corrected by the avarice of the other classes. The higgling of the market, in markets perfectly free, would soon bring the upper classes to a due sense of the importance of setting a better and a very different example from their present conduct. We do not, like the Times, despair of finding a remedy for this untoward and threatening State of things, which arises from the working classes being deprived of their fair share of the benefits of society. They want more food, more clothing, better dwellings, and better furniture; wants that ought to be encouraged and ought to be gratified. Food is freely offered them from all parts of the world, but the law prevents them from get ting it; and, having plenty of food other comforts could be obtained as matters of course. Abolish the Corn-law, therefore, and let the bellies of the people be filled, and their hearts will cease to be discontented. In aspiring after something better, individuals will improve society. For a commercial community, com mercial freedom is the first requisite ; let us have that, and political freedom, with moral regene ration, will speedily follow. A singular exhibition took place yesterday in the Central Criminal Court, on the trial of a man sixty years of age, charged with three offences— attempting to stab a policeman, obstructing him in his duty, and committing a common assault; yet, though the net was spread so wide, he would have escaped from his prosecutors but for the interference of the RECORDER. The Jury, after e o hearing the evidence of two policemen , the only w i tnesses ex amined, returned a verdict of Not Guilty, when t he Jud ge , adverting to the dif ferent charges, requested them to re-consider " if you disbelieve the e th v e id it e • n v e e e rd a i i c t t o , altogether, added,du, will do right to acquit the prisoner." One of the Jury immediately said, " I do not believe the evidence ;" yet the RECORDER again requested them to re-consider their verdict, and they at last found the prisoner guilty of a common assault. Here a Juror de clares, on his oath, that he does not believe the policeman, but on being pressed to look at the ev id en ce a second time, he votes against his con viction, and consequently adjudges a man to punishment whom he believes innocent. Such vacillating conduct is highly reprehensible, but at the same time we think the Juror was not the only person to blame, for he had in fact acquitted the prisoner, and it was the duty of the Judge, after the return of • the whole Jury, and after this statement on oath, to have dis missed the case. On looking at the evidence in this trial, and also to the second indictment against the same individual, we are strongly dis posed to consider this convicted prisoner entirely innocent. He had committed no offence, even according to the showing of the witnesses, till lie and the policeman were pushed down together, when he naturally imagined that the policeman was the aggressor, and be lieving that he was in imminent danger, for he exclaimed " I am fighting for my lite," he prepared to defend himself. If he had attempted to stab the policeman the case would have been different; but, like the Jury, we we have great doubts on that point, and where such doubts exist the prisoner is entitled to an acquittal. The Graham's Toivn Journal of the 30th of June copies from the Zuid Africain, the Dutch journal at the Cape of Good Hope, a manifesto of the Boera of Port Natal in answer to the proclamation of the British Government declar ing them to be British subjects. This manifesto bears date the 21st of February, 1842 , and is re markable for the deep moral and religious feeling which pervades it. After protesting against any attempt to reduc e th e m from the dignity of a free people, they observe—" We wish it may be well understood that we do notintend to give offence, to reproach, or to give reason for any warlike acts, as it is our hearty wish and desire to live in peace with all men, and that nothing should induce us t o o take up arms to shed human blood, except the conviction that we cannot avoid it, or when the protection of our property (which we have so dearly obtained), and of our very ex istence, shall require, or also when we find that might and not right is exercised towards us. We know that there is a Gon who is the ruler of heaven and earth, and who has the power, and is willing to protect the injured, though weaker, against oppressors. In HIM we put our trust and the justice of o ur cause; a nd should:it be His will that a total de s t ruct i on b e brought down upon us, our wives and child ren , and everything we have or possess, we will, w i t h due submission, acknow ledge to h ave d ese rved it from HIM , but not from men. We are aware of the power of Great Britain oppose an d it is not our object it." that Power; ibu t at the same ti me to l‘re defy cannot a ll ow that might instead of ri g ht , should tri ump h , w i t hout having employed all our means to Such sentiments as these cannot fail t o ma ke a very de e p im p re ssion upon the moral- m i n d e d pe ople of this country. The Boers pr ocee d to d e clare that the decrees of the English G overnme nt, and the mal-administra tion of th e co lony, alone , forced them to penetrate the wilderness, and entrust themselves to the savageness of an African desert. They had in vain implored from the English Go vernment a system of representation, the most sacred and highly-prized of British civic rights, and for which Englishmen are ready to shed their blood. The British authorities permitted them to emigrate—allowed them to settle at Port Natal, and to proclaim their independence, with out a word of remonstrance. They had to defend themselves against the savages, who murdered 600 of them ; yet, though aware of their condition, the British Government never offered the shadow of protection. They had learned, they observed, with pain that they had been represented as wild, uncultivated men, who were tired of all civil and ecclesiastical laws, and desired to live an unbri dlel life, after the promptings of their fancy. Although only simple peasants, to whom it was not permitted to take part in public affairs in their native land, yet they had succeeded in founding a government which was entitled to pub lic confidence and respect. The document goes on to say, that their town is built in the most regular manner, and is improv ing every day, and the cultivation of the whole country around it is constantly advancing ; they have erected a spacious place of worship to Goy, and the education of their children is firmly established; the warlike Zoolahs who lived around them had been frustrated in all their hostile attempts, and at present take up arms only at long intervals. Already two mis sionaries were busy amongst those tribes under the emigrants' protection, and there was reason to believe that their civilisation would advance more rapidly than that of the Caffres on the frontiers of the colony. All this had been effected under great difficulties, and they im. plored his Excellency not to overturn all their hopes of future prosperity. Already agents were busy among the Caffres, stating that if they desired to join the English the flocks of the emigrants should become their spoil. They could not say that his Excel lency authorised such proceedings; they only knew that they were taking place. Could the civilised world blame them if, under such cir cumstances, and when so inhumanly persecuted, they should risk every thing for the preservation of life ? In conclusion, they protest against their town being taken possession of, as the proclama tion threatened; and declared that from that day they did not consider themselves responsible before GOD, before their consciences, and before men, for the consequences of such an act. The document is signed by " JoAcnuti Pitt- NoLo, President of the Popular Council," J. BURGER, Secretary," and all the members: Such is the substance of the Boers' manifesto, which may be expected to excite the attention of civilized Europe. It places the conduct of the British Government in a very disgraceful light. As if the African continent were too small for our ambition, we make war upon a peaceful set tlement of Dutch emigrants, 125 miles beyond the boundaries of British civilisation at the Cape. Whatsoever may be the fate of the Boers—and the probability is that they may be cut off by the savage Caffres—this affair will afford mate rials for a disgraceful chapter in the future colo nial history of this country. General BUGEAUD'S pamphlet on Algeria con tinues to be discussed in the French journals of Thursday. The Opposition journals point out and dwell upon the breach of military duty com mitted by the Governor-General in writing at all, contrary to the express order of the Minister of War, who has directed that no officer in active service shall presume to express an opinion upon military affairs. The affair at Port Natal is dwelt upon, and the conduct of the British Government reprobated by the Debats of Thursday. _ _ M. Martinez de la Rosa has arrived at Paris. Colonel Delarue, of the staff of the Minister of War, has left Paris on a mission to Algeria. The French Prefect of Police has just issued a list of regulations and recommendations, which are highly important to gas consumers. It is strictly enjoined to ventilate with great care all plates in which gas is used ; to have turncocks shutting most accurately, and to be particular in oiling them frequently, and to have, in addition to the smaller cocks for regulating the quan tity of gas consumed,.aprincipal one in each establish ment, by which in a moment the light can be extinguished. The moment an odour of gas is per ceived, it is recommended that the windows and doors should be opened, and notice given to the Gas Com pany that something wrong has taken place, and it is advised that whenever an escape of gas should happen to take fire, a wet linen cloth should be thrown over the place from whence it escapes, as this will imme diately extinguish it. Gas Companies are bound to send a copy of these regulations and recommendations to every person making use of their gas. The Cologne Gazette gives the following as the address of the King of Prussia to the Bth corps of the army, after the late grand review :—" I am delighted to be able to express my satisfaction to the troops of the Bth corps of the army, as much at the zeal which the officers of all ranks have manifested, and the goodwill shown by the soldiers of the dif ferent brigades, as the good understanding sub sisting between the Line and the Landwehr. In general, I am satisfied with the manner in which the manoeuvres have been executed. I reserve to my self the task of communicating to the army hereafter, for its information, several observations which were made in the course of its operations. I shall at pre sent merely remark, as a matter of great importance, that it is necessary, without, however, uselessly fa tiguing the soldier, to maintain as much as possible, even during the manoeuvres, the interior order of close battalions, as well as in the lines of tirailleurs, seeing that without the arrangement an engagement becomes disor derly and without direction. A greater number of tirail leurs should never be employed than circumstances re quire, and the officers ought never to lose sight of them, particularly when a combat is to take place in a village or on broken ground. In the course of ma nceuvres particular attention ought to be paid to the effect of fire. arms, and cavalry, when it is forced to retire, should never bring itself within range of the enemy's musketry. I have been pleased with the ar tillery, as well as the condition of the troops and the state of the horses, especially those for the Landwehr by the communes, which proves to me the interest taken in the important institution of the Landwehr." We find the following statement in the Publicateur de Saint Maio :—" We have this moment received the news that the ships which sailed from St. Malo, and St, Servan, for the Newfoundland cod fishery, after having completed half of their fishini in the Gulph on those parts of the coast granted to 1 ranee, went to the English fishing grounds, from which they were driven by the men of war on the station. We are assured that several vessels have been confiscated, and sent to Canada. _ _ _ " It will be remembered that the English boats seized on our oyster fishing grounds were released on the occasion of the Ist of May.

DOCTOR CHALMERS AND SUNDAY TRAVELLING.— An Edinburgh newspaper contains the following paragraph :—" The Rev. Dr. Chalmers, on arriving by the Belfast steam-packet at Glasgow, on Sunday morning, found awaiting him the most pressing letters to be in Edinburgh at the Commission of the Church of Scotland on that day ; and as no place in a public coach could be procured, he was urged to I avail himself of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, on the plea of necessity, arising out of the unusual importance of the occasion. The Rev. Doctor de clined, saying that the possible advantage of his pre sence at the Commission was counterbalanced by the positive disadvantage of countenancing a railway which profaned the rest of the Sabbath." What exquisite cant is this ! What unworthy truck ling- to fanaticisml Doctor Chalmers is not unwilling to walk on the Sabbath ; but to ride, shocks his sense of devotion, ju s t as th oug h one mode of locomotion were sinful, and another perfectly virtuous. It is a humiliating spectacle to see a man of such superior capacity, as the author of the " Evidences of Chris ' tianity," thus figuring among the Maw-worms of the day, confounding religion with its antagonist, bi gotry ; and making himself a subject of ridicule to all who have intellect enough to count ten on their fingers. MR. CALLAGHAN.—ACCIDENT IN ST. JAMES'S PARK.—An Evening Contemporary of Wednesday last, gave a touching account of a pleasant, smiling, rosy, elderly gentleman, who, while taking a pensive stroll in St. James' s Park, suddenly, in a moment of abstraction, walked off the bank into the lake, and found himself in four-feet water, among a brood of astonished ducks, whose movements he seriously em barrassed by his presence. After swallowing several undesired mouthfuls of the cooling liquid, the gentleman managed to uplift his voice, "like a sparrow on the housetops, or a pelican in the wilderness," for assistance, whereupon two young ladies, who happened to be in the im mediate neighbourhood, rushed to his aid, and angled for him with a long scarf, which he caught at with trout-like avidity, and was with some trouble hauled ashore—the oddest fish that had ever been caught in St. James's Park within. " the memory of the oldest living inhabitant!" The account added that this gentleman was Mr. Daniel Callaghan, M.P.; but we are authorised to state he was not the indivi dual who astonished the ducks, and was angled for, and caught with a lady's scarf, lbr he was, at the time, two hundred miles distant from the ducks, the scarf, and the ladies ! Mr. George Robins, we find, has become the purchaser of the fine property in the Cape of Good Hope called Slatberts Poort. It con sists of forty-three thousand four hundred acres of rich pasture land. The flocks of sheep are immense and very prolific, and the Merino wool in great request in England. The best wheat in Mark-lane has frequently been traced from the Cape. The Madras Cavalry derive their supplies from there, and St. Helena is much indebted to the produce from the Cape. It is said to be in the contemplation of Mr. Robins to encourage (by fixing a very low rent at first) a set of clever industrious Scotch farmers, who will go and locate in this beautiful country with their families, and with a very bright prospect of in dependence in the perspective. The Merino wool from the fine flocks of sheeps on this property is greatly esteemed. The wines are in great abundance, having upon this domain 3,000 or 4,000 fine vines, and lots of fruit trees. The extent of the purchase made by Mr. George Robins, exceeds the territory of many of` the German Princes, and the income in three or four years will probably surpass it. We find in the Stamford Mercury the following strange paragraph :—" Since the `suspension' of the Rev. T. S. Escott, the vicar of Gedney, in this county, for the good of his soul's health and the lawful cor rection and reformation of his recent excesses, especi ally for refusing to bury the child of a Dissenter,' not any Church service has been performed in that large parish of 2,000 souls, which pays to the esta blishment an annual sum of 3,0001. in tithes to the rector and the vicar. Funerals (so called) are per formed without any burial service being read, and the whole ghostly offices of the church and the parish are suspended like the minister."—lf this be true and we sincerely trust it is not it reflects great discredit on Mother Church. No wonder that Dissent spreads far and wide throughout the country, and that the Puseyite zealots are making their influence felt in all quarters, when the old Dame is guilty of such gross negligence. She is paid hand somely for doing her duty, and to neglect it--no matter in how slight a degres—argues culpability of no ordinary dye. Why does not the Bishop of the diocese interfere in this Gedney business? If it were a question of tithe, or one involving any of the tem poralities of the see, we doubt not the ghostly Prelate would have interfered effectually long ere this. Priests are seldom languid in action when their tem poral interests are invaded. THE MARQUIS OF WELLESLEY.—The following answer was given to inquiries this morning at King ston-house, Knightsbridge :—" The Marquis of Wel lesley is somewhat better."

By a chance vessel there are later accounts from Monte Video. The intelligence is not of great com mercial importance, though trade had somewhat im proved, in consequence of increased confidence being shown in the expectation that the war would speedily be terminated. As is usually the case, the information relative to Buenos Ayres is contradictory to that direct from the place itself, but it would appear, that further insurrections had broken out in the interior, against the power of Rosas. This individual is, it would seem, setting every one at defiance, and by his overbearing actions disgusting all parties. It was rumoured that some combinations had been entered into for the purpose of forcing him to resign, and which is not at all im probable. The great difficulty would be in the choice of a successor; and it may be doubted whether if left to themselves, internal war might not be car ried on more fiercely than it is at present.
