BRUSSELS, • DEC. B.—A letter from Bruges, of the sth, says—" This morning, between two and three o'clock, during a thick fog, the fine Belgian steamer, the Antwerpen,Captain Jackson, coming from London, and hound for Antwerp, ran aground a league and a half to the west of Blankenburge ; it had thirty pas sengers and a cargo of merchandise. From an early hour in the morning cries were heard, but the fog was so thick that it could not be ascertained precisely where the vessel was. At noon it was perceived from the coast to be a steamer. A fishing-boat from Blan kenburge rendered important assistance to Captain Jackson. After taking on board the anchors and chains, to lighten the vessel, it greatly contributed to relieve it from its dangerous situation. The Ant werpen could not be removed till high water. CONTINUED DEPRESSION IN THE IRON TRADE.— Notwithstanding the cheering news which has recently arrived from India, and which appears to have a good effect in raising the droopingspirits of themanu facturers in the north, we regret to be not enabled to report a corresponding improvement in the prospects of the important and almost staple commodity of iron. —Cambrian. " The memorialists desire again to express their anxiety that their present appeal, and the measures they have felt themselves obliged to adopt, may not be misunderstood. The deliberate conviction to which they have come—that if they cannot have liberty to maintain and act upon the principles which they have avowed, in the position of a church established by the State, they must relinquish that position, is not the result of disappointment or irritation, or any want of a due regard to the important benefits which the present establishment of the Church confers upon the people of Scotland. On the contrary,'such is their sense of the value of that establishment, such their apprehension of the many evils likely to result from its disruption or overthrow, and such, also, their anx iety to remain in the discharge of their spiritual duties, 1 in the preaching of the Gospel, and the oversight of their parishes, under the shade of that national pro tection and favour, which was the happy fruit of the prayers, the labours, and the sufferings of their fa thers, that they have been willing to make the -ut most possible concessions with a view to the restora tion of harmony; and, were not the principles at issue vital and fundamental, there is no compromise to which they would not consent, no sacrifice of feeling or even of consistency to which they would not sub mit, if by any means they might avert a calamity, the very idea of which they have all along been most re luctant to entertain. " But they feel that the time is 'ome when the final determination of this question can be postponed no longer, and as they cannot disguise from themselves, so neither would they deem it right to conceal from the Government and the country, the inevitable result of a continued refusal, on the part of the Legislature, of that indispensable measure of relief which they think they have a good right to ask, and good reason to expect. Their situation, in truth,, is most painful and embarrassing. They cannot con duct the affairs of the Church in the manner in which the civil courts have prescribed ; they could not themselves remain in the , - , mmiinion of a Church which should agree to regulate her procedure accord ing to the principles now held to be involved in the civil law; nor can they allow others, in the same com munion, to do so. But it is well known that a large minority of the Church's office-bearers are prepared, in obedience to the civil courts, to cast off her autho • rity ; and were the Church, while continuing to claim the advantages secured to her by law, to perse vere, as she must in principle do, in maintaining her discipline over all who, under whatever civil sanction or compulsion, transgress her orders and violate her laws, founded, as she believes, on the word of God, not only would she be exposed to grievous obloquy and reproach, but a spectacle both painful and scan dalous must in all probability be exhibited of two sec tions of the same Church striving with one another in the use of civil pains on the one hand and spiri tual censures on the other. Hitherto, notwithstand ing the allegations of her enemies to the contrary, the Church has never felt herself compelled to in flict the severities of her discipline on any of her ministers or members for an act done under the compulsion of her civil courts, or in obedience to what has been declared to be the civil law. She has proceeded against none, excepting the few individuals who of their own accord, and without any plea of necessity, have placed themselves in a position of defiance of authority. Even this, however, has led to unseemly consequences; and after the final decision of the Supreme Civil Court, affirming the principles upon which not a few of her office-bearers have intimated their determination to act, it is plain that if no legislative relief be conceded, and if the Church proceed, according to her own views of duty, against those who transgress her rules, she has no alternative but to deal forth the censures of ecclesias tical power, in a manner that must provoke retalia tion, and must necessarily lead to inextricable confu sion and disorder. The memorialists are not ashamed to confess that they shrink from such an exhibition as would thus be presented before the people of Scot land ; and this is one practical consideration, among others, which has weighed much in determining them to bring this whole question to a final issue, and to retire from their position, as connected with the es tablishment, rather than prolong an unseemly contest with the civil courts, which deny, and with their own brethren, who set at nought, their jurisdiction —a contest which could not fail to be attended with most disastrous consequences, affecting both the majesty of law and the higher interests of religion. "But the memorialists have stated other grounds on which chiefly they rest their determination, as matter of Christian duty and sound principle. It has been with extreme pain that they have felt themselves compelled to oppose the civil courts in any of the decisions which they have pronounced. They have done so only because their consciences required it, and because they considered that the constitution of the Church, as established by law, sanctioned and au thorised the measures which they adopted. They are still most decidedly of the same opinion. But as they claim for the Church no right of resistance" to the civil magistrate, in the exercise of his authority, as determining the terms on which he will establish the Church, so they feel that if the Government and Legislature of the country do not interfere for their relief from the condition to which they are now re duced by the Supreme Civil Court—viz. the condi tion of subjection in things spiritual) to civil control —it is not for them, as servants of that LORD whose kingdom is not of this world, to vindicate the consti tution further ; they can only protest, with all solem nity, against the wrong which they believe the Church has sustained, and leave with the rulers of this nation, and with the nation itself, the responsibility of allow ing this national institution of the Established Church of Scotland to be subverted and overthrown. "In conclusion, the memorialists beg leave very respectfully to remind her Majesty's Government of the obligation under which States andltheir rulers lie to Him by whom kings reign and princes decree jus tice—whose cause they are bound to espouse, and whose Church it is alike their interest and their duty to support in all the freedom with which he has en dowed it. The memorialists deeply feel the solemnity of the question now submitted to the decision of Par liament and of the nation ; it being, in the opinion of the memorialists, nothing less than the question whether the Church unalterably established in Scot land is to be preserved inviolate, according to the faith of treaties, or whether this great kingdom is to commit, as the memorialists would regard it, the heinous national offence of not only breaking the na tional faith, but of disowning the'authority of Christ in his own house, and refusing to recognise his Church as a free spiritual society, instituted by Him, and go verned by his laws alone. " The memorialists now leave the whole subject in the hands of her Majesty's Government, uniting in most earnest prayers to Almighty God that He may direct the counsels of her Majesty t o t h a t con clusion which shall most conduce to the g oo d o f t h e coun try, and to His own glory.

Alderman Thomas Wood. A letter was read fr o m the Alder man, declining to comply with the resolution that he should furnish the charges against him s elf, as well as the cila answers.rge instantly, l fe and as to y producea to meet any tangible all the affidavits, papers, and books relating to the T a l acre Mi ne. A Aldermen had re wred passagef use cl to implying el LT iiim thatxly ther o Courtaccount the Chairman warmly denied that any one had made oi of of those charges, any charge, or that Mr. Alderan Wood had a right to ask the reason of each man's vote. As no Alder man would assume the post of accuser, and Mr. Alder man Wood refused to accuse himself, the Chairman proposed to apply to the Court of Aldermen for fresh instructions. Sir Peter Laurie proposed to accept the offer in the letter of the affidavits. Mr. Alderman Wood did not see how he could do this, if there was no charge. None were so closely looked after as soli citors. Merchants and others could commit nefarious acts, and indulge in fraudulent spec u l a ti ons, w ith im punity. Sir Peter Laurie said, if he was Alderman Wood, he would not stand for forms, but go at once into the matter, and sell the coat off his back to trounce the traducers. He moved that the papers be received. This was, after some discussion, agreed to, and the papers were ordered to be printed.

ADMIRALTY, DEC. 12. The following missing dispatch, from Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker, addressed to the Secretary of the Admiralty, has now been received : Cornwallis, at Chapoo, May 23, 1842. Sir,—My letter of the 11th instant, No. 84, will have apprised the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty of the evacuation of the city of Ningpo on the 7th, and that the troops were embarked in the transports off the island of Just-in-the-Way, with the intention of com mencing the prospective operations of the combined forces by an attack on Chapoo, where it was . scertained that a large Chinese force, and a considerable store of arms awl provisions, had been for some weeks collecting. The fleet reached an anchorage between the Sesham and Fog islands on the evening of the 13th of May ; but the unfavourable state of the weather, and the velocity of the tides (luring the springs within the entrance of Hang choo-foo bay, did not admit of any further movement until the 16th, when a very satisfactory reconnaissance was made of the defences of Chapoo in tha Phlegethon and Nemesis steam-vessels ; and on the following after noon the ships of war, named in the margin,* and the transports were all anchored in Chapoo bay, in con venient positions for the disembarkation of the troops, which commenced at daylight on the 18th, in a sandy bay, within two miles of the city, and at the eastern termination of a range of heights which flanked the field works and strong positions held by the Chinese outside it. Commanders Kellett and Collinson, who have been indefatigable in surveying every part we have had to navigate, succeeded during the night in thoroughly sounding between the anchorage of the ships and the shore, which enabled the Cornwallis, Blonde, and Mo deste, while the troops were landing, to take up excellent positions against the sea batteries, consisting of two works mounting seven and five guns, about one-third of the way up a steep hill at the eastern extremity of the suburbs, and crowned with a joss house, occupied by a large body of men, and three other masked batteries, mounting thirty guns, in front of the suburbs, making a total of forty two guns of different calibre ; the whole were thronged with Chinese soldiers, who also lined their defences on the heights to a considerable extent with matchlockmen and numerous gingalls. Against these field-works the Sesostris was anchored for the purpose of dispersing them with shells, as our troops advanced ; and the inhabitants of the suburbs and city were duly warned to retire eut of the line of our fire. By the exertions of the Nemesis, Phlegethon, and Queen steamers, and the boats of the covering vessels, Starling, Columbine, Bentinck, and Algerine, together with those of the transports conducted by Lieutenant Somerville, the troops were all put on shore in admirable order, under the able direction of Commander Charles Richards, of the Cornwallis, by nine o'clock, when the General, with his accustomed energy, immediately pushed forward at their head ; the ships, by a pre concerted signal, opened their fire at the same time on the batteries. A few shot, however, put the men stationed in them, and at the joss house on the summit of the hill opposite to us, to a precipitate flight, and. not a moment was lost in landing the seamen and marines of the squadron under Captain Bourchier, of the Blonde, and the officers named in the accompanying list, who got possession of the batteries before the mines, which were prepared in them, could be sprung ; and, having succeeded in cutting off several of the Chinese troops that were endeavouring to reach the suburbs, joined our land forces in their approach to the city. By the General's rapid advance, in two columns, they had already gallantly carried all the positions on the heights, and, the retreating parties being intercepted in every direction, the Chinese suffered very severely ; but a body of several hundred Tartar troops, having thrown themselves into a large joss house between the heights and the city, resisted with such desperation that they were not subdued until the building fell in ruins over them, and not more than fifty men were brought out alive ; nor was this, I regret to add, effected without considerable loss to the combined forces, who have to lament the Gallant Lieutenant-Colonel Tomlinson, of the 18th Royal Irish, and several men killed ; and Lieutenant- Colonel Mountain (the Deputy-Adjutant General) and many other brave officers and men severely wounded. The loss of the Chinese cannot be accurately ascer tained, but from various accounts their force was not less than from eight to ten thousand men, of whom one fourth are supposed to have been Tartar troops, many hundreds have been slain or wounded, and several officers and men made prisoners ; the latter will, how ever, be released before our departure. It is with sincere pleasure that I have again to bring under their Lordships' notice the spirited and valuable services of Captains Bourchier and P. Richards, and the several Commanders, Officers, and men of all ranks of the navy and royal marines of her Majesty's squadron, and the Indian navy, under my command on this occa sion ; the whole of whom are jastly entitled to my best thanks and commendation. Commander Watson, of the Modeste, having been sent forward with his division by Captain Bourchier on first landing, was able to reach the advanced party of the troops in time to assist them, in boats across a canal, to enter the city ; and Sir Hugh Gough has expressed him self much pleased with his exertions on this and all occa sions in which his services have been connected with the army. Lieut. Wm. H. Maitland, commanding the Algerine, and Lieut. Bate (additional) attached to the Bentinck, after assisting in landing the troops, accompanied them on their advance, during which two officers (or inferior Mandarins) fell in single conflict by the hands of the former, who bids fair to rival the gallantry of his lamented uncle, that bright ornament of our profession, the late Sir Fre derick Maitland ; and Lieutenant Bate, by his spirited exertions, succeeded in making prisoner a Chinese offi cer, holding the rank of Colonel. The city was escaladed, and occupied with very little resistance ; and a large quantity of arms, of every de scription, gunpowder, and provisions, have been found and destroyed, together with the guns in the batteries and arsenals, with the exception of eleven of brass, which have been embarked. A list is enclosed of the ordnance which has been found. The steadiness and good conduct of the combined forces has been most satisfactory, but the plunder and devastation committed by the natives from the moment of our entering the city, has, perhaps, exceeded that of any place we have yet visited ; nor can the Tartar portion of the population divest themselves of the appre hension of being massacred, under which unfortunate impression, many, after destroying their infant children, have committed suicide. I inclose, with concern, a list of two killed and four wounded in the squadron, the latter, I am happy to say, are doing well ; but I fear the casualties in the army amount to nine killed, and fifty-two wounded, many of them severely.—l have, &c., W.

ROBERT RENTOUL, potato merchant, Newport, Fifeshire, Dec. 22 and Jan. 12, at one, at Mac Nab's Inn, Cupar-Fife. FOOT-RACE ON BLACKHEATH. BETWEEN MAXFIELD, THE " NORTH STAR," AND Glr A ZLET, COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE " STAR OF KENT," FOR 251. A-SlDE.—This match, which has created a great sensation in the sporting circles, came off on Monday, from the seventh mile-stone, near the Earl Moira, at the bottom of Shooter's-hill, to the sixth mile-stone on Blackheath. The hour fixed for the performance of the match s was two o'clock, but long before the time n ot l ess th an 5,000 persons had assembled. At half-past two precisely, the men ap peared at the starting-post, accompanied by their .backers, when Mr. Dean, the landlord of the Fish mongers' Arms, Lewisham-road, gave the signal for starting, and both men went off at a topping pace, which was kept up throughout the distance ; the " North Star" heading his man by about seven yards, which he kept up to the end of the race, frequently turning to his opponent with an invitation to " come a-head " it he could, and won with perfect ease. The distance was performed in five minutes and ten seconds. It. was quite apparent that the winner could have accomplished the distance in much less time had he been pressed. It was " a race-horse to an old hunter." The heath was like Hyde-park on a review day. At the close of the race there could not have been less than 8,000 per sons from Greenwich and Woolwich, Deptford, Lee, Eltham, and all the other points adjacent; and it was the opinion of the best informed persons that there never were so many people assembled on Blackheath on any one occasion. The men ran in the middle of the road, which was somewhat heavy, in consequence of the wet. The equipages were very numerous, consisting of gigs, phaetons, tax-carts, job carriages, saddle-horses, &c. The road was kept in admirable order, and no police were on the spot to mar the sport. Beth were even at starting, but immediately after changed to 6 and 8 to 4 on the North Star. North Star is a fine-looking young man, sft. 10in., and Gazley is lift. Bin. Gazley looked pale, and not in his usually fine condition. There was a very large sprinkle of the sporting gentlemen from London, who returned to town highly delighted with the result of the sport, having carried off considerable sums won from the Kentish folks. We felt it our duty to notice the extreme dissatis faction felt by many of the City Reformers, at the uncalled-for manner in which the Lord Mayor, at his inaug"ural dinner, proclaimed himself to be a follower of the Tory Premier. We mentioned at the time the surmises of some of his Lordship's guests as to his motives for thus flinging among them the firebrand of politics, upon an occasion usually held sacred from the intrusion of party allusions. We have since received a letter from a member of the Reform Club,-inform ing us that Mr. Alderman Humphery bad been twice proposed as a candidate for admission into that Club, and had been twice black-balled. It is not for m to say how far the Lord Mayor, smarting under these repeated rejections from an association of Reformers, may not have made up his mind to propitiate the influence of Sir Robert Peel, towards obtaining-his entry into the Carlton.—Sunday Paper. LORD MORPETIL-It has been stated in a para graph, which originated (we believe) with the Shef field Iris, that Lord Morpeth was preparing a .work on the subject of the United States. We may say with confidence that there is no ground for the state ment.—Leeds Mercury. REDUCTION or RENTS.—Messrs. John and James Fenton, owners of the townships of Dutton and Rib chester, at their last rent-day generously made a re duction of twenty per cent. upon the amount of their rentals. This reduction was unsolicited.—Bolton Free Press. BOULOGNE V. CALAIS.—We have been favoured by the Mayor of Boulogne with a statement, from which it appears, that during the week ending the Bth of December, 500 passengers embarked, or disembarked, at Boulogne, while only 193 passed through Calais. THE UNIVERSITY PEEL CLUIL—We regret to learn that there is now as little prospect as ever of Political Associations being banished from Glasgow College. We feel it our duty to state that this is to be attributed entirely to the perverse determination of its present members to attempt the re-organization of the Peel Club, which has ever been the promoter of that spirit of factious animosity, which, we are sorry to say, has of late years been so prevalent among the students. The Liberals lately proposed to the Con servatives the dissolution of their, respective Associa tions, c onsidering that, from their decided su p er i or i ty at the last two Rectorial elections, their proposition w ab e erg e n d o a would be readily accepted by the opposit e p ar t y ; b ut, contrary to t t h h e e r P efo ee r l e, Clubti t, r y re t decidedcont aware of the circumstances of the-case, none of the Conservative gentlemen of the city will give their countenance to the Peel Club, since, if they do, with them will rest the responsibility of all those rancorous feelings which such Associations must University.—Glasgow Argus. DEATH FROM AN OVERDOSE OF LAUDANUM.— On Monday Mr. Gill held an inquest at the King's Head, King-street, Park-lane, on the body of Sarah Wheeler; aged 39. It appeared that the deceased had held the situation of cook, in the service of Mr. Bod dington for the last three Years. She suffered much from spasms and indigestion, and was, in the habit of taking laudanum to alleviate her suffetings, but which was unknown until Friday night last by her fellow servants. After eating her superthat evening she complained of being sick, and became very ill. The housemaid gave her an emetic, consisting of mustard and warm water, but without effect. Mr. Sawyer, surgeon, of Park-street, was then sent for, and pro nounced deceased labouring under the effects of laudanum, which she afterwards admitted, and said she had not taken it to destroy life, but to remove her pain. She was bled, and the stomach pump and other remedies were applied, but she never recovered, and died on Saturday afternoon. Two phials, one empty and the other half full of laudanum, were found i n her room. Verdict, " Died from the effects of an over dose of laudanum, imprudently taken." FATAL ACCIDENT AT CARN BREA MINES. ---W e have very great pain in having to announce the occur rence of an accident at these mines, attended with loss of life to one of the miners, and very serious bodily injuries to a great many others; besides a destruction of property variously estimated at from 8001. to 1,0001., the principal part of which loss all falls, we understand, upon the labouring men. There was a large shed on the mine, in which the men ch ange their clothes previous to going under ground, and again when they leave work. The apartment was about 150 feet long and 12 feet wide, within the walls ; but as there was a row of lockers, or cupboards, on in each side of about two f ee t depth, the shed was narrowed to eight feet. There were nearly 400 of these cupboards, in which the miners d _ up their wearing apparel, tools, candles, and powder. On Wednesday • morning, about forty or fifty men were in the place, preparing for going- under ground, when a young man of the name of John Waters, whose locker was very near the door was pouring out gunpowder from a quarter of a hun dred cask into a small canister, which he was to carry under ground, his candle, which he had stuck upon the iron pipe above him, fell, or dropped a spark upon the powder, and produced a terrible explosion. Waters appears to have been shattered so much, that when hid remains were collected it was only from the cer tainty that no other person was missing that they could be known to be his. His father, who had been standing near him, was also so much injured by the explosion, that it was doubtful if he would live to reach his home in Crowan Church-town, where he was immediately removed. The explosion appears to have set the lockers on both sides of the house in stantly in a blaze; and as there was distributed among them upwards of 10 cwt. of gunpowder, and a very large quantity of candles, the flames spread rapidly, occasioning a constant succession of explosions, which might be heard for several miles around. Several of the men in endeavouring to escape were terribly mu tilated.— West Briton. on the first Wednesday in every Month. •••,_ JOSEPH LUNN, Secretary.
