It appears that the barge alluded to, called the Who'd have thought it, bein g heavily laden with chalk, was proceeding from Gravesend to London) and when it reached Gray's, the violence of the wind and the extent of her cargo ren dered her altogether unmanageable, and she rapidly filled with water. There were six persons in the barge, four of whom were in the cabin below. Au instantaneous apprentice to hi m shout of al arm proceeded from a man of the name of Smith, who w as co nductini , the barge, and Charles Leigh, an endea voured to ascend. way, when th e W ater One of them had actually reached half , and the four men below, hastily few moments, sunk with to wash him back, and together with the remainder; in a o t u h re e b d ar in ge sOc W op h io i u ls s t ly th up e b o a ra rg hi e n: va a s s sinking, Leigh and anoth er • -.1 into a small boat which was lashed to her stern, escape was effected. In their Ij i: 11 71. 1 .16 n a most miraculous its suction. His companion they overset the boat, fortunately re y ci itating Leigh be yondan'x6iet to save theneselvea to share another fate, and he was subsequently, On precipitating Leigh doomed the tide receding, found lifeless on the shore.— Leigh continued swimming until nature had be come nearly exhausted, when he happily reached one of the hatches which hail been washed from the barge, and with great difficulty he at length suc ceeded in attaching himself to it, and after remaining in this situation for near an hour, the wind and tide drifted hint on shore on the Essex side of the river. He was at some distance from any house, and, from weakness quite unable to w a lk ; b ut i t fortunately occurred that some la bourers, who were proceeding to work in the neighbour hood, happened, to pass the spot, and with their assistance he and the corpse were conveyed on a ladder to the Sailor's Return, the wharf-house, at Gray's. The bodies of the other individuals who have suffered have not yet been found, and it is supposed they are still in the cabin of the sunken barge. They were all of them what are termed lumpers, and had been engaged by the Captain for the par_ pose of unloading the barge when it arrived at its place of destination. The body already . found is dreadfully lace rated over the left eye, and one of the ears is almost off. It appears, according to the statement of the survivor, that if they had been provided with proper tarpaulins to place over the hatches, sufficient tim e would have been afforded them to have - .effected their escape; but, as it was, the water rushed in so violently as to prevent their ascending the deck. Three out of the four are understood to have left large families to lament their loss. Efforts hive been made to weigh the barge, but hitherto without success, and additional assistance has, in consequence, been sent from London. The captain saved his life by similar means to those resorted to by his apprentice. ABERDEEN.--Alexander • Brown, Esq. provost,; James Milne, Esq., John Voting, "Esq.

The- h ing of Saxony has given orders to kill all the black game of the Royal forests, which has been pre served hitherto, in order to diminish as much as possible the number of wild beasts. The rest of the game is to be inclosed in a park. To carry this oiler into execution, a grand hunting, at which the young Princes assisted, has already taken place. There will no longer be any forced hunting matches, which will cause a great reduction of expence, and there will no longer be any occasion to grant indemnification for the damage done by the game to the peasants. NEW OATS.—That eminent agriculturist Mr. Cunningham, of Dolphinston, East Lothian, has, for the two last seasons, introduced a new specks of oats, the seed of which he procured from England, which bids fair to be extensively cultivated. In the absence of a more appro priate name, they may be designated the naked oats, being without husk. One boll was last week manufactured into meal, which produced the astonishing quantity of thirty three pecks Dutch weight, or 82 lbs. avoirdupois each peck. We understand Mr. C. intends to keep the remain-• der for seed. During the siege of Boston, General Wash ington consulted Congress upon the propriety of bombard ing the town. Mr. Hancock n as then President of Coil gress. After General Washington's letter w as rea d, a solemn :silence ensued. This was broken by a member making a motion that the House should resolve itself into a C o mmittee of the whole, in order that Mr. Hancock might d, from having all his estate in Boston. After he left give his opinion u p on the sub j ect, as he w as so deeply in ttleL chair, este he addressed the Chairman of the Committee of the following wo r d s :--" It is true, Sir, nearly vl a u l le t , in he property I have in the world is in houses and other real estate in the town of Bost on ; but if the expul sion of the British army from it, and the liberties of our country, require their being burnt to ashes, issue the orders for that purpose immediately." THE PHANTOM SHlP.—About ten o'clock on Sunday evening, it being moon-light, some of our fishermen, while on the cliff, discovered, as they thought, a Hastings lug-sail boat coming round the chain pier, and so confident were they. of the fact, that they made imme diate preparations to go off to her ; but while they were thus engaged, the object of their solicitud e in an instant disappeared, and they saw her no more. The circum stance, at the time, appeared to them very mysterious, and has since, we understand, become matter of much curious conversation. This curious circumstance has since been explained to us in the following manner :_A boat from the Hyperion frigate, lying in Newhaven harbour, came round the pier at the time stated, lowering her sail, and the moon not giving sufficient light for the hull to be seen, l e d to the mistake, which has given rise to so many fanciful and ridiculous remarks,..-Brighton Herald. Two additional Reports of the Commissioners o f Irish Education Inquiry, the eighth and ninth, have just been distributed. The eighth is very voluminous, and relates to the College of Nlaynooth. The ninth relates to the education 'of the body of the people. They who have , a strong appetite for Contro versial Theology, will find a very abmidant mess of it in the Appendix ,to the Eighth Report.— The Decree . of the Council of Lateran respect- Heretics, the case of John Huss, the 6 Infal libility of the Pope, &c. Btc. are presented in the various e xaminations . under every variety of aspect. There is a good deal of subtlety dis played by the Catholic Professors and . Clergy men examined ; and it is hardly possible, we think, to read their evidence without being struck with the superiority of the Catlicißcs the arts of controversy to the Protestants. We are not speaking of the fanatics and enthusiasts Who hold forth at meetings in this country, and Who sing always the same song, but men of edu cation and learning. This may partly be 'accounted for by the po lemical training which the Students receive at Catholic Seminaries. For instance, the Rev. N. Sleven, D.D., Prefect of the Dunboyne Es tablishment, and Librarian, Maynooth, gives the following evidence : " Are the Dunboyne Students eexercised in polemical,disputation upon the pointsin controversy between different classes of Christians ?—Not par ticularly; the subjects of the public exercises are taken promiscuously. from the treatises which they read in the course of the year, and frequently ques tions of controversy occur in these Treatises. " Does it ever happen, that in order to.maintain an argument; one of them is desired to support the Protestant side of any controverted question ?;--As often as a polemical question occurs it is so ; the per son who objects, supports the Protestant side, whe ther he be a Student or a Professor. " From what sources does he take his arguments on these occasions ?—From any author he pleases; he may consult Protestant authors, or he may con sult our TheOlogians, who give the objections made by Protestants to our tenets. " Would there be any risk of his incurring disap probation if he were to maintain that side of the question with too much energy ?—No danger at all of disapprobation ; he would be applauded for his acuteness. " Has such a circumstance ever arisen ?—I do not recollect that an instance of the sort has happened. " Has it ever happened that a young man should maintain the Protestant side of the dispute with More energy than might be deemed advisable ? Never; and even if he should put down his anta gonist, he would not be reprimanded, but applauded. In the failure of the respondent, it becomes the duty of the Professor to explain the difficulty." " Are there any other public disputations in May nooth except the maintaining of particular themes of which you have spoken ?-1 mentioned the monthly disputations held by the Members of the Dunboyne establishment ; each of the Professors of Theology also holds in his respective class a public disputation once a month. • " Are there any others that you have heard of ? —No others. • " We find in the Statutes the following order, re lating to the Dunboyne Scholars; Bis saltem in heb domada coloquiis ecclesiasticis intersint,'—what is the meaning of that ?--This statute ordains that they should meet twice a week, and hold con ferences. " Pray explain the nature of these conferences? —Before my appointment, the Students of the Dun boyne establishment had no Professor; they were left to themselves ; and the statute which has been read directs that they should hold conferences on subjects of theology, twice a week among them selves. By the regulations which the Board made at the time of my appointment, the mode of pro ceeding was changed, and three conferences weekly were enjoined. Do they continue to hold these conferences now ?—They hold them with me; but instead of two, we now hold three weekly. Then the conference has become a lecture ?—lt has; they have been placed under the direction of a Prefect. ' 4‘ Do the Students assist in the conference them selves ; do they state objections ?—They do, occa sionally,,as directed by the Professor. A subject is marked out for each succeeding conference, which they account for; they hold disputations as often as the subject may require it." „ We - are merely accounting for the dexterity in disputation which the Catholics seem to have, without offering any opinion as to the advantage of the course pursued. It appears to us that the Catholics have not gained much in the way of avoiding disputes by Popes and Councils. They are infallible only, according to the Maynooth professors, when they propound matters of 'faith and morals to the universal Church ; so that in order to know the degree of authority to which their mandates are entitled, the head under which they are to be classified must be known. But here is the dif ficulty--it is not an 'easy matter to tell whether a particular point is or is not to be considered as !Idling under the head Faith or Morals. We shall allow Dr. Sleven- to state his opinion on this ticklish subject in his own words : . " Perhaps I should add to the Observations" . have . Made on t h e - power claimed b y P o p es , that I do not conside r. i t at all necessary to v i n di ca te the conduct of Popes i n a ll t h e i r proceedings, or to support that some ral themopfolv power i did ure n ot iv i r n e o a ; l y d even e r a e d that l claim tern p tlicy did c l a i m i t , no thing would follow injurious to the principles of Catholic doctrine. All Catholics acknowledg e that the Pope may err on all points whatsoever, not appertaining to faith or morals; and whethe r he can err even in matters of faith and Morals is a question upon which we are at perfect liberty to adopt either side. The opinion affirming - that the Pope may err, even when he proposes mat ters of faith and morals to the universal Church, is supported by a number of our best Divines. From the admission, therefore, that a Pope had defined ex Cathedra th e tem p o ral right, no inference . injurious Catholic tenets could be drawn. " When you say in matters relating to faith, what are we to understand by that expression mean in propounding matters of faith or morals to the uni versal Church, to be received, believed, and practis ed as revealed doctrine. ,No Di v i ne h as asserte d that the Pope is infallible in matters of fact, or in the private exercise of his judgment; those who assert his infallibility attribute to him this gift only when, after mature examination, and after fervently invoking the light of the Holy Ghost as head of the Church, he proposes to the whole body of the Church any doctrine to be believed as revealed, dr any rule of morals to be practised as necessary.

There is certainly room enough for contro versy here. A man may have a tolerable good head, and yet be pretty much puzzled to tell whether any partieukir point' on which the Holy Father enlarges is one as to which he can err, or as to which he is infallible. There is, first, the fact to be ascertained whether his Holiness fer vently invoked the light of the Holy Ghost, whether he thought be was acting jute divino, or as a temporal Prince, and then whether the point is a doctrine to be believed as revealed or not.. The Pope pronounces respecting the doctrines, and every Catholic sits injudgment ou the Pope. We find from the Catholic ,professors, that the famous Decree of the Council of Lateran, ab solving the subjects of heretics from allegiance to them, not being a matter of faith, is not one of those subjects as to which Councils are infalli- Sle. The affair of John Huss is got over, by the assertion that the safe conduct could not be supposed to free him from the consequences of the trial to which he was submitting himself. If a man, accused of murder, were to receive a safe conduct, in order that he might take his trial, if' found guilty, it could not be understood as stand ing in the way of the hangman.—Morning Chronicle. SIR WALTER SCOTT AND MR. WILKIE LETTER PROM SIR WALTER SCOTT TO SIR ADAM FERGUSON, DESCRIPTIVE OF A PICTURE PAINTED AT ♦LBUTSFORD By DAVID WILKIE, ESQ., R.A. AND EXHIBITED AT THE ROYAL ACADEMY IN 1818. " My Dear Adam—The picture you mention has something in it of rather a domestic charac ter, as the personages are represented in a sort of masquerade, such being the pleasure of the ac complished painter. Nevertheless, if you, the proprietor, incline to have it engraved, I do not see that I am entitled to make any objection. But Mr. *** mentions besides, a desire to have anecdotes of my private and domestic life, or, as he expresses himself, a portrait of the author in his night-gown and slippers ;—and this from you, who, I dare say could furnish some anec dotes of our younger days which might now seem ludicrous enough. Even as to my night-gown and slippers I believe the time has been when the articles of my wardrobe were as familiar to your memory as Poins's to Prince Henry, but that period has been for some years past; and I cannot think it would be interesting to the public to learn that I had changed my old robe-de-chambre for a handsome douillette, when I was last at Paris. The truth is, that a man of Ordinary sense cannot be supposed delighted with the species of gossip which, in the dearth of other news, recurs to such a quiet individual as myself; and though like a well-behaved lion of twenty years stand ing, I am not inclined to vex myself about what I cannot help, I will not, in any case in which I can prevent it, be accessary to these follies. There is no man known at all in literature who may not have more to tell of his private life than I have : I have surmounted no difficulties either of birth or education, nor have I been favoured by any particular advantages, and my life has been as void of incidents of importance, as that of the weary knife-grinder.' _ _ _ . _ Story ! God bless you! I have none to tell, Sir.' " The follies of youth ought long since to have passed sway ; and if the prejudices and ab surdities of age have come in their place, I will keep them, as Beau Tibbs did his prospect, for the amusement of my domestic friends. A mere enumeration of the persons in the sketch is all which I can possibly permit to be published re specting myself and my family ; and, as must be the lot of humanity when we look back seven or eight years, even what follows cannot be drawn up without some very painful recol lections. " The idea which our inimitable Wilkie adopted was, to represent our family group in the garb of south-country peasants, supposed to be concerting a merry-making, for which some of the preparations are seen. The place is the ter race near Kayside, commanding an extensive view towards the Eildon-hills. 1. The sitting figure, in the dress of a miller, I believe, repre sents Sir Walter Sott, author of a few scores of volumes, and proprietor of Abbotsford, in the county of Roxburgh. 2. In front, and present ing, we may suppose, a country . wag somewhat addicted to poaching, 'stands Sir Adam Fergu son, Knight, Keeper of the Regalia of Scotland. 3. In the background is a very handsome old man, upwards of eighty-four years old at the time, painted in his own character of a shepherd. He also belonged to the numerous clan of Scott. He used to claim credit for three things unusual among the southland shepherds : first, that he had never been fore in the course of his life ; secondly; that he never had struck a man in anger; thirdly,. that though entrusted with the management of large sales of stock, he had never lost a penny for his master by a bad debt. He died soon afterwards at Ab botsford. 4,5, 6. Of the three female figures the- elder is the late regretted mother of the family represented. 5. The young person most forward in the groupe is Miss Sophia Char lotte Scott, now Mrs. John Gibson Lockhart ; and 6, her younger sister, Miss Ann Scott. Both are represented as ewe-milkers, with their Hussars. l s°n of S n g 7 ;na O n n ho ti ld le ing l e f a t: f h o a w n l d i n g o - f l n d g e , s s t the / shepherd,in s, or rni the k - p a y i l o s u .

The two dogs were distinguished favorites of the family ; the large one was a stag-hound of the old Highland breed, called IVlaida, and one of the handsomest dogs that could be found : it was a present to me from , the chief of Glengary, and was highly valued, both on account of his beauty, his fidelity, and the great rarity of the breed. The other is a little Highland terrier, called Ourisk (goblin), of a particular kind, bred in Kintail. It was a present from the Honorable Miss Stuart Mac- kenzie, and is a valuable specimen of a race which is now also scarce.

"If it should suit Mr. * *'s purpose to adopt the above illustrations, he is heartily wel come to them, but I make it my especial bargain that nothing more is said upon such a meagre subject. " It strikes me, however, that there is a story about old Thomas Scott, the ~ l ieplierd, which is characteristic, and which I will make your friend welcome to :—Tom was, both as a trusted servant, and as a rich fellow' in - his line, a person of consid era bl e i r upp r tancoamong his cla ss in t h e neighbourhood, • aii‘tt.used to stickle a good deal to keep his place ifipublic opinion. Now, he sUffered, in his own idea at least, from the con sequence assumed by a country neighbour, who, though neither so well-reputed for wealth or sagacity as Thomas Scott, had yet an advan tage over him, from having seen the late King, and used to take precedence upon all occasions when they chanced to meet. Thomas suffered under this superiority. But after this *etch was finished, and exhibited in London, the newspapers made it known that his present Ma -1 s jesty had con d escen d ed t o take some notice of i S t. c - ott 4 e i i oat hted with O w c i rcumstance, Th omas on a most oppressively hot day, to walk five miles to Bowden, where his rival re sided. He had no sooner entered the cottage than he called out, in his broad forest dialect— ' Andro', man, did ye aces sey (see) the King?' In troth did I, Tam,' answered Andro' ; sit &own, and I'll tell ye 'a' about : Ye sey, I was at London, in a place they ea' the Park, that is, no like a hained hog-fence, or like the four nooked parks in this country—" Hout awa,' said Thomas, I have heard a' that bef ore : I on l y came over the Know now to tell you, that, if you have seen the King, the King has seen rney' (me). And so he returned with a jocund heart, assuring his friends it had done him muckle gude to settle accounts with Andro". "Jocose heec--as the old Laird of Restalrig Writes to the Earl of Gowrie—farewell, my old, tried, and dear friend of forty long years. Our enjoyments must now be of a character less vivid than those we have shared together. " But still at our lot it were vain to repine, Youth cannot return, or the days.of,Lang syne.'

We understand that a Memorial of the following import is in progress of signature by the several parties interested, for obtaining the establishment of a Mail Coach on the Crieff and Tay-bridge Road to Dalnacardoch,--there to meet the Mail Coach about to be established from Perth by Dunkeld and Blair, to Inverness.

But we are chiefly solicitous to submit to the at tention of those Departments of Government from which the proposed establishment of a mail coach from Carlisle to Stirling must emanate (we allude to those of the Post - office and Treasury), th e infi nitely encreased utility and importance of that estab lishment, were it extended northward from Stirling by Crieff, Tay-bridge sad Tummel-bridge, along the Turnpike-road, now completed to Dalnacardoch,— at which place it would meet the mail, which, it is hoped, will soon be established between Perth and Inverness, by Dunkeld and Blair; ,as to which, the memorialists desire explicitly to.state, that their pre sent application is in no manner opposed,—in as much as, the .Dunkeld mail is calculated to open a communication from Edinburgh and Perth, by the direct route to Inverness; whereas the object of the memorialists is, to obtain a similar mode of commu nication from Carlisle and Glasgoiv, by Crieff and Tay-bridge to Dalnacardoch, at which place the two coaches would meet, and from which the mail would be conveyed by one coach to Inverness.
