The London Papers have this week contained a long re port (extending to eight columns) of the trial of the Rev. Robert Taylor, on an indictment for having delivered a blasphemous, discourse before a great number of persons, on the 16th of Febran?y last, at a place called the Areopagus, in Loner. We are ificktged, from a regard to the interests of our Holy43.eligion, and th show the sort of adversary de rided Christianity has met with in the person of the Rev. Robert Taylor, to allude to the past history of this gentle man's case, and express our sorrow at his errors. In July, 1818, the Rev. Robert Taylor, a Graduate of the Univer sity of Cambridge, sent an advertisement for insertion in our paper, stating that he had for five years and three months held the office of Christian Priesthood, and fully performed all the duties annexed to that office, at Midhurst, in Sus sex, bet that he wished to make a public renunciation of the priestly ,baracter, and the solemn declaration that "the result of L most diligent investigation of the evidence and history of CLristiauity, is a firm conviction that its Scrip tures are not authentic." We did not publish his commu nication, but replied to his request by note of a corre spondent, to the effect, that we did not believe his rejection of Christianity was the effect of a close, patient, and impar tial examination of the evidences on which Revelation is foundea ; for we hold it to be impossible for any man, in possession of his rational powers, to go into such an inves , - tigation of the subject, without not only being convinced of the truth of Revelation, but without, likewise, receiving a substantial accession to his virtuous and pious principles. We recommended the Rev. Gentleman, therefore, to re turn to the subject, and, in imitation of Dr. John on, when he meditated the publication of the " Rambler," "pray for a humble and teachable mind, to the Eternal Spirit, who can enrich with all utterance, and all knowledge, &c." The Rev. Gentleman took the advice kindly, it appeared, for in . October (about three months afterwards) he ad dressed us again on the subject, offering his fervent thanks for our truly Christian generosity, and requesting us to publish a recantation of the opinions which he had before expressed, which he said did not lodge in his mind even for a week, all of which, without exception, he now saw and felt to be fatally erroneous; and that we should add to the obligations, by which we had for ever merited his grateful remembrance, by inserting his present sentiments in our columns. We did insert his " penitent and conscientious recantation of his unhappy error" (as he described it), which he closed in the following words :--- " The Church, of which h e was a member, held him in all his wanderings with bonds of indissoluble affection ; and on her altar he consecrates the first fruits of the Spirit, in a firm, and we hope never again to he shaken, faith, in the Holy, Blessed, and Glorious Trinity. We all stand by faith, and we trust that in the inscrutable Providence of the Almighty, this Gentleman may have been designedly cast down and raised up again in his Christian warfare, in or der, by experience, to become a better soldier, and to guard others with greater effect, against the wiles and subtleties of the enemies of our salvation." Such was the Rev. Robert Taylor on the 29th of Oc tober, 1318.—0 n the 24th of October, 1827, he is con victed of uttering a blasphemous discourse, irreverent towards the Christian religion, calculated to excite aversion and disrespect, and hold it up to ridicule, and wantonly to destroy the tranquillity and repose of millions of his fel low-men !_Hampshire Telegraph.

ECLIPSES.—On Saturday, Nov. 3, at the instant the sun sets, the moon will arise, three quarters eclipsed. Five-and-twenty minutes afterwards, that is at seventeen minutes past five, an eighth of its disc only will be visible. The moon will then present the appearance of a crescent, the horns branching upwards ; afterwards this planet will gradually regain Its rotundity, and, at fifty-six minutes past six, the moon will be seen. This eclipse will be visible in Europe, Asia, and Africa.. As for eclipses of the sun, which are generally objects of curiosity, tve shall have some very beautiful, but partial ones in 1 893, 1836, and 1842, which will prepare us for the famous annular eclipse which is to take place on the 9th of Oc tober, 1847. At the Middlesex Sessions, on Saturday, William Hollingsworth, jun. was convicted of a fraud, in having written a letter in his father's name to a friend for the loan of 201., and received the money as for his father, without his knowledge or authority. Mr. Alley said, that he was instructed by the father to state, that he had done all in his power to reform the conduit- of his son, who, however, baffled every effort to lead him from his evil habits. He had lately marri e d two common women o f th e town, which rendered a ll h ope o f amendment in this coun try vain. The Chairmann sentenced the defendant to be transported for seven years. Another young man, named Farcher, was also sen t e n ce d to seven years' transportation, for obtaining, a quantity of nails from an ironmonger under a similar misrepresentation. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 29, 1827. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Ocr, 27, WALE V. PHILLIPS. This was an action on a policy of insurance. The defendant pleaded the general issue. The plaintiff was a farmer in the north of England; principally engaged in agricultural pViOuits, but had unfortunately become the proprietor of a ship called the Welsingliettti, which in 1820 sailed from England to South America. Previous to her sailing, the plaintiff wished to insure her in the Pacific Associa tion, of which the defendant Nvas'a member, and ac cording to the rules of that society :she Was surveyed and valued at 1,9501. A policy of insurance was subsequently effected on her to the amount of 1,5001. Having arrived in South America, she performed many 'coasting voyages, in - which she received some damage, and was obliged to put into some port in Lima, where she was put into a thorough state of repair. This took place in 1823. She then sailed to Guayaquil, where she arrived February, 1824. It- was at •this.tittin that she was taken up by the policy which: was to continue for 12 months, until February, 18 . 25. At Guayaquil she Was engaged for freight by a Mr. Whittock, and on the 18th February she left her moorings, and pro ceeded down the river, in . which is an island where It is customary for vessels to touch, and the Captain - of the , Wahiinghwa - determined to'clo so, but in con sequence of the wind lulling the vessel came-agroand on a sand-bank. Here she sustained so much in jury that it was absolutely necessary to have her. re paired before she would be . in a. fit state to perform a voyage . to England; but owing,to -the unsettled state of the country,it was almost impossible to ob tain workmen, and the Captain was almost destitute of funds. In this situation he applied to Mr. Wit tock, who had freighted the ship, but he refused to advance any money, and the • Captain, finding it possible to put' the ship in a fit - state for a voyage, -determined to sell her. She was accordingly put up by auction,, and bought fora sum of 3401. only by Mr. Whittock. Having obtained the vessel for so small a sum, the Captain ' conceived he ought to pay it, and applied to him for that purpose. He, however, refused to do so, unless the money he ad vanced for freight was deducted t this the Captain did not think .proper to do, and finding Whittock would not pay the 3401., he refused to give up the ship's reinter. Matters 'rested in this state for a feW days, when - Whittock came on board, with some Spanish authorities, for the purpose of forcibly taking possession of the ship, with the register. To effect this, they turned the Captain and his crew out of the vessel, and man named Sawyers was put in command. The Captain, however, still managed to keep posses sion of the register, but S aw y ers , by direction of Whit tock, having .got the vessel off the sand-bank, pro ceeded to sea, where she fell in.with one of his Majesty's ships commiinded by Captain Mating, who, finding her without any register or papers, thought himself bound to take possession of her ; and he accordingly seized iker, and having taken her into port, sold her, and placed the proceeds of.the sale in the hands of the Vice-Consul of Lima, to remain till claimethby the proper owners. These were the circumstances of the case, and the learned Sergeant contended that as the loss arose from a peril of the seas, the plaintiff had a right to recover the amount of the policy. The. Captain of the Walainghant, and several other witnesses, proved this statement.. 3 .111 r. Sergeant WILDE for the defendant, contended first, that at the time the policy was effected, the vessel was not sea-worthy; and, secondly, that sup posing her to have been sea-worthy, the accident which occasioned the loss-was not of such a nature as to bring it N%ithin the description .of a loss by perils of the sea. The 3 - Pry, without the slightest hesitation, re turned a verdict for the plaintiff-=Damages, 741. 7s, LORD SELKIRK'S COLONY. A correspondent has favoured as with the follow ing interesting account of the recent state of the colony planted in North America by Lord Selkirk about 20 years ago. It is not wonderful that we seldoth hear of this handful of Scotsmen, who are planted, like out-posts of civilization, in the very heart of the immense wilderness of North America. We are misled when we speak of them as settled in Canada; for, in point of fact, the spot they occupy is as far from the inhabited part of Canada as Stock holm is from Rome; and, if we take facility of corn inunication into account, Upper Canada is nearer to England than tm Fort Daer•. .The site of the colony is about the 50th degree of latitude, and the 97th of west longitude; and it may be seen from the map that it is nearer to the Pacific Ocean than to the Atlantic.—Scotsman. Extract from the Letter of a Gentleman who spent a few days in Angtist last, at the Earl of Selkirk's Colony on the Red River, Upper Canada : " I spent four days very agreeably at Red River, and was astonished to find the colonists so happy. The flood of last year has been of advantage to the place, All the tatters are now accommodated much More comfortably than in former days, in houses situated on elevated and healthy spots, far ther back than they used to be from the river.— Houses in such situations are above the reach of the ordinary spring floods. the overflowing of the river last year prevented the colonists from sowing until the 20th June ;• but, late as it was, they had an -excellent crop of barley, and the return of the enoughid hneofotrreipthene potatoesto be e fit f ‘ o v r as br t e o a le d r , ab b l u e ; it rr go he t w fa h r eatd frost to serve for seed. The buffaloes had all retired to a great distance ; not 200 weight of flesh, nei ther dry or fresh, was brought during the season by the hunters to the settlement. Nothing, however, like starvation was felt at Red River; on the con trary, the apparent misfortunes caused by the floods of last year, having compelled the colonists to look to sources of subsistence hitherto unnoticed by them, fisheries were established on the Manitoba and Wini peg Lakes, and at them were caught plenty of fine thitneg. The fish from the former are the best I have seeti of that fine kind of fish ; those from the Winipeg are not so good, but would be considered excellent, if compared with any of the numerous varieties you have in Scotland. These lakes are 50 or 60 miles from Fort Deer, and after tracks were made on the snow, the oxen easily hauled home the fish on sledges and carts. By Christmas all the colonists' had a sufficiency of food, and having abund ance of potatoes, barley, butter, cheese, and some fresh beef, of their own feeding, the greater number of the, colonists lived better than they had ever done before. These Aisheries on the Manitoba and Winipes , are an inexhaustible and certain means of supply to the industrious colonists, who, even should their crops fail, are thus in no danger of starving. It would be good for the colony were the buffalo never to come near it : for, hitherto, many of the colonist's, depend ing entirely on hunting for a livelihood, suffered severely when the buffalo kept far off in the plains. Their wheat crop of thiS' year has a promising ap pearance. If no accident occurs, there will be enough of it to supply all the colonists for two years. Barley and potatoes in great quantities were sown; but the grubs have nearly destroyed all the former, and the greater part of the latter. Tame black cattle now swarm at the colony. Butter and cheese are made in abundance. There are plenty of hogs and poultry, and the Americans have contracted to bring the colonists a thousand sheep this summer. Before this reaches you, the result of the Land Arctic Expedition will be before the public. I missed Captain Franklin and Dr. Richardson, when crossing the Winipeg, on their way to Canada; and I did not see Captain Back with the rest of the party; for, before my arrival at Norway-house, they had left it for York Factory, to embark there for Rngland, in the Company's ships. But the Esqui maux who accompanied them is here. He tells me, that in the summer of 1826, the whole party em barked on Black Bear's Lake in four canoes, and descended Mackenzie's River to the sea. At the mouth of that river the party divided. Those under the command of Captain Franklin pro ceeded to the westward, along a dangerous coast. They saw great numbers of Esquimaux, who be haved in a very hostile manner, and but for the Es quimaux who accompanied them, the whole party would have been cut off. Ice end hard gales often retarded their voyage, but the constant fogs on that coast were the greatest impediment. At the farthest point they reached, the fogs detained the party twelve days. Captain Franklin was there informed, by some Esquimaux, that the coast a little farther on was bold, and that six or eight days paddling would bring them to settlements occupied by men with long beards. These men are undoubtedly Russians, and the settlement must be to the westward of Icy Cape. Captain Franklin, however, was obliged most reluctantly, to return to Mackenzie's river.— During their journey and voyage, they were plentifully supplied with rein and. moose deer. Cap tain Franklin and his men got safe back to Black Bear's Lake, at which place Dr. Richardson and his party arrived nearly about the same time. The Doctor had successfully explored the coast east from Mackenzie's to Coppermine river. After ascending the last river to a very considerable distance, he left his canoes and,crossed the country to Black Bear's Lake. Captain Franklin is of opinion, that it is possible for a vessel to pass from the Pacific through Behring's Straits, on the Mackenzie's River, and thence to Melville Islands. His intention is said to be to ask Governnient for a vessel in which he will attempt it."—Edinburgh Observer. GFIOSTS.--These beings, as winter approaches, are becoming excessively troublesome to the peaceable burghers of the High -street. On Sunday se'nnighf, a mob of at least 500 persons, collected at the head of Stevenlaw's close, to witness a most spectre-like figure, arrayed in white, Walking about a room in one of the houses. Unlike other ghosts, this one had a shadow, which being 'reflected Orlon a wall in the room, had a most dismal_ effect. The mob were §0 penetrated With horror, that they contemplated the spectre in the profoundest silence, until it extinguished the candle it carried ; and then they withdrew: On Wed nesday night, a still more terrific spectre appeared in Mr. Mitchell's house, tip the common stair, 166, High-street. Soule nights Previously,, it had .disturbed, the family by vafititis dreadful noises ; but on thit particular night, only the two servant-maids being at home, one of them had Oc casion to go into a room off the kitchen, when she ob served, gliding before her, a tall, gaunt, and unearthly figure, much resembling a certain lank hosier, which howl ed as if in the utmost agony, both of mind andliotlyi Away she flew down stairs, followed by her companion ; and, in a paroxysm of terror, they burst open the door of a neigh bour, a respectable sblicitorl who was, so math alarmed by their distraught appearance and piercing erica, that he hid himself under his bed-clothes. From the solicitor's, they hurried to Mr. Menzies' coffee -room beneath, where they . were kindly: received, and remained for tho night. The .whole neighbourhood was thrown into commotion, in the persuasion that a fire had broke out ; and familieS were preparing to ;remove their furniture. One individual, in ''particular, brought a portable fire engine to the spot, which he plied up the common stair with such vigour as 'threatened annihilation both to the ghost and the solicitor. The police was sent for, and, as usual, a mob collected ; but no one, that night, ventured to enter the haunted premises. The following night they were taken possession of by three stout-hearted policemen, who kept a watch till *the morning ; but nothing occurred to them to exercise their courage: We regret to learn, that the health of the girl who saw the apparition has been very seriously affected "by the fright.—Edi4urgli Paper. LOSS OF A LEITH SMACK. From a correspondent at * Yarmouth we have re ceived the following account of the loss of the Queen Charlotte, Leith smack, bound from Leith to London. At 9 p.m., on the 26th instant, she was beating to windward, with a fine breeze, and clear weather, off Lowestcfr, 7 or S miles distant, in 17 fathoms water, Lowestoft light bearing W. by S., wind S. by W., when she was run on board, and struck right a midship by the ,Sylvia, a collier of Shields. The captain of the Queen Charlotte, with great promptitude, grappled her to the Sylvia, and by that means.gained time to save the passengers and the crew ; for his vessel was so completely severed in two, that there was no hope of saving. her. In.less than ten minutes the water was mak ing above the cabin floor. The captain, the passen gers, and crew, having left her with a few clothes, which was all they had time to save, she was cut off, and went down immediately; about fifteen minutes from the time she was struck.. It is stated by those. on board the Queen Charlotte, that she had hailed the collier repeatedly, with out effect. The crew of the latter was engaged up aloft at the time,rigging the studding-sail-boon; with only a boy at the helm. 't hey were in the greatest alarm when they struck the Queen Charlotte. It is probable, however, that the case will undergo inquiry in a Court of Law. Mr. James Nicholson, the captain of the Queen Charlotte, was landed here yesterday with his crew and eleven passengers. No vestige of the smack has been seen. What renders the loss a matter of more public concern, is that the smack had on board a supply of literary food for the metro polis, in four large bales from Messrs. Constable and Co., containing a new publication, and the people here are alarmed by the conjecture that it is the Chronicles of the Canongate. She left Leith on the 16th instant. She had also on board 76 puncheons of superior whiskey, of a quality destined for the " gude Scots" in London. The house was crowded at Abbott's benefit in Paris, last Monday, and the performances went off very well. Macready has arrived in. Paris, and will make his first appearanCe on Monday night, in the character of Macbeth, if terms can be agreed upon bet*een him and Mr. Laurent.

ECCLESIASTICAL PREFERMENTS. On Monday last the Rev. Dr. Payne, Fellow of St. John's College, in this University, was Hemmed by the Lord Bishop of Oxford to the augmented Curacy of Northmore, in this County, on the nomi nation of the President and Scholars of that Society. On the same day the Rev. John Shuldham, M.A. and Student of Christ Church, was licenced to the augmented Curacy of Cowley, on the nomination of the Dean and Chapter of Christ Church. The Rev. Charles Carr Clerke, M.A. has been presented to the Vicarage of St. Mary Magdalen, - in this city, by the Dean and Chapter of Christ Church, void by the resignation of the Reverend Charles Henry Cox. The Rev. J. P. Cosserat, M.A., late FelloW of Exeter College, in this University, has been insti tuted to the Rectory of St. Martin, Exeter. The Lord Bishop of London has presented the Rey. William Streatfeild, M.A. Fellow of T►inity College, in this University, to the Vicarage of East Ham, in the County of Essex, and Diocese of London. The Rev. W. N.

Egerton Anthony Brydges, B.A. of Trinity College, Cambridge, to the Rectory of Denton, with the Perpetual Curacy of Swingfield, Kent ; patron, his father, Sir Egerton Brydges, Bart. The elevation of Dr. Murray to the Episcopal Bench vacates the Bishopric of Sodor and Man, to which the Rev, John Bird Sumner, Prebendary of Durham, is appointed : he is the elder brother of the Bishop of Llandaff, and we shall therefore witness the somewhat unusual circumstance of two brothers being on the List, though not on the Bench of Bishops ; for it may not be known to some of our readers, that though the Bishop of Sodor and Man has no power of voting or of speaking in the House of Lords, and has no seat on the Episcopal Bench, he has a chair placed for his sole occupation at the end of that Bench. Mr. Stunner ' it is understood, vacates the valuable Living of Mapledurham, in Berkshire; and either from some informality, or from the peculiarity of the case, the patronage of it does not devolve to the Crown, but will be exercised by its proper patron, the Provost and Fellows of Eton College.

A few hours after our arrival at 'Weimar 7 had an interview with Goethe. Therehe sto od,' in his 83d year, as .I think, yet upright and vigorous as a man of forty—his eye 'undim med by age, fiery and sparkling above all the eyes I bad ever beheld, legless and pene trating ; while a quivering motion about the lips, even when utterance had ceased, seemed to indi., cate that the spirit was still speaking within him. His forehead is capacious, but not very remark able for height, his nose 'well formed. ' How ever, the innumerable and deep furrows of his cheek and brow told many a ".Winter's Tale," and his " entire physiognomy *revealed the'-man that had lived not fat removed from a Court at mosphire.
