fest , Vt. ,nY ~_...,.,LAR. Downiag-street, Sept. 5, 1833. SIR,—In my circular despatch of the 26th of June last, had the honour to enclose, for your information, copies T of the resolutions adopted by both Houses of Parliament 3 the subject of colonial slavery, and announced the Ton iti i !ntention of his Majesty's Government to introduce a Bill di a mt o Parliament, for the purposei Of giving effect to those or resolutions. , Thit deeiko having been executed, the Bill y r ,Feeeisied his Alajeety's assent, and passed into a law on the w i tEith ult. I now transmit to you copies of that Statute in Ittaaufficient number to enable you to place them in the hands th e of such of the principal inhabitants of the colony under foeyour government as may be most deeply interested in the of subject. It is a source of great satisfaction to myself and my colleagues that we have been enabled to accomplish this I' great measure during the present session. Amidst all the cpotroversy with which it has inevitably been attended, mil parties have been Unaniinous in the opinion that an Fthr!ty and final settlement of the question was essential to e welfare of the numerous classes of society, whether in It this kingdom or the Colonies, whom it more or less ad directly affected. *18°) It is not my present purpose to vindicate the measure / 3 twhich the Ministers of the Crown have thus thought it titheir duty to propose, and which the Legislature have .(thought fit to sanction. From the ordinary channels of pi public intelligence, the motives of His Majesty's Govern 14:ntent and of Parliament may be collected with sufficient accuracy, by those who may desire to learn them, and a al revival on this occasion of discussions which have occupied 8) many months, would be at once useless and incon venient. P ~ Neither do I propose to enter upon an etplanation of t he t . .variouti provisions of the accompanying statute. Such a it'cothmentary would be superfluous if, as I trust, the Act shall be found sufficiently perspicuous to convey its own Q meaning with all requisite precision. My present design is to call your attention to the duties which this great change in the law will immediately Airnpose upon yourself, and to explain the measures which his Majesty's Government propose to adopt in order to Ilgive complete effect to this Act. With whatever distinctness a law of this nature may be ... 'expressed, it is not to be expected that illiterate persons, or even that Men of education, accustomed to the perusal legal documents, should at first acquire an accurate view of the changes which it will introduce in the various relations of society. But on such a subject popular mis conceptions may be of dangerous consequence. It is, 1 I ther e fore, desirable that the general scope and effect of the 1 law should be made known to the public at large by an a authority in which confidence will be generally reposed. On so peculiar an occasion as the present, it will be necessary, however, not merely to dispel possible misap prehension, but to allay, as far as may be practicable, ( the excitement which exaggerated hopes and fears may tend to create. At a moment when one of the ancient and fundamental bonds of society, as hitherto constituted, is about to be dissolved, to make room for a system which, altogether promising great eventual good, involves an immediate change of such extent, it is emphatically necessary that a submissive obedience to the laws should I be inculcated by the highest authority in the state, and or iollt .OtIC 1e s 6 ( s II 0 E~ ~8.~ J. . I. 9 ity o t it it P O9 of. bot of I, c al ‘n, e 'ir lig' .t arld, mire. enforced, if necessary by the most decisive measures. For these reasons his Majesty in Council has been pleased to approve the inclosed Proclamation, and I am to instruct you, that you lose no time in promulgating it for general information, in the most public and authentic manner. In maintaining tranquillity and order within th e limits of your Government, his Majesty confidently L k relies upon your activity and zeal ; nor will you fail to exert to the utmost possible extent both the authority and th e legitimate influence which you possess, in securing the co-operation, for that end, of all public officers, and other persons who, from their station, their property, or their talents, enjoy a peculiar control over public opinion and popular feeling in the colony of British Guiana. On referring to the Act, you will perceive that it does not interfere with the appropriate duties of the Colonial Legislatures, beyond the strict limits of the necessity by which that interference was dictated. It implicates a series of general rules, by which the future relations of the cMployer and of those who are to labour in his services are to be regulated, referring to the general assemblies, where they exist, the office of supplying by local enactments all stabor dinate but necessary details. In those colonies tOlich are subject to the legislative authority of his Majesty in Council the Act has reietml to his Majesty, i cing with the advice of his Council, the correspon,ifirq, •t ir iity. This Part of the measure was not suggested from any distrust of the legislative bodies existing in those settlements, and 'till less by any doubt of the superior local knowledge Which the members of those bodies would have brought to the discharge of such a task ; but this course of pro eteding was designed to obviate certain objections which blight otherwise have been raised to the execution of the Act of Parliament. It was anticipated that some, at least, ° 1 the assemblies might urge that the participation of their t° ustituents in the Parliamentary grant bad been made to a !Pend upon their compliance with a condition which it t A ss impossible to perform, and that the problem proposed to L uern of regulating the various relations of the apprentice la uotirers, both of their employers and the state, admitted of no Nation. It was further apprehended that the assemblies might object that, as their supplementary enactments t %Id not avail for securing the promised benefit unle s s ry should be esteemed satisfactory by his Majesty in tiecil, they would be totally destitute of any criterion h j Which to determine whether any particular regulations 7onld or would not be accepted as adequate to the occa- By the promulgation of the proposed orders in - ach of those objections will be obviated. His Government will perform the duty clearly in m them of showing that no insuperable diffi. ',allied in the performances of the condition which, iuggestion, Parliament has prescribed. The will be supplied with a model, not, of course, for itation, but sufficiently developing the general on which it is expected that the supplementary will be framed. course of proceeding shall remove the objection we noticed, it may, however, perhaps, be thought hto another difficulty equally formidable. It id that Orders in Council, originating in Eng : be framed in ignorance of local circumstances, :herefore, be inapplicible in practice. This ob also been foreseen, and may, I trust, be effec litted. Twelve months will elapse before the in of the system of apprenticeship. In that interval of the proposed orders will be generally made ,roughout the colonies, and his Majesty's Go will not only admit, but invite and weigh with ich observations as they may call forth, and such Ins as any persons may be disposed to make for *overnent of their projected regulations. The Council will, therefore, not be promulgated 11 the assistance which can be derived from those Kist conversant with the state and circumstances Commission which his Majesty is authorized by it to establish for distributing the Compensation ill be constituted with all practicable expedition, will be placed at the head of the subordinate m which is to sit within the colony under your 2nt. On that subject you will be placed in direct iication with the Commissioners in this country. st clause of the Act, relating to the subject of toleration, will take effect immediately, and it be unnecessary that I should explain, for your what are the motives which suggested the torm of that enactment. it 4m happy and prompt to acknowledge that religicus 4 chers, dissenting from the established Church, have hitherto t enjoyed, in a very large proportion of the Colo tile's the utmost possible freedom in the discharge of the „ u tY which they have undertaken. I have further to 'rnit that the Colonial Statute books are , with scarcely 4 4 13 Y exception, exempt from enactments restrictive of r el igious liberty, but, on the other hand, there are Colonies 14 which parts of the Statute Law of England on this , I .ubject have been adopted, or are considered to be in %tee• On this question much legal controversy has t t ,kso place. It has been sometimes made a ques ,_°4 whether the English statutes respecting Dissen 'l.l from the Established Church did or did not ,PPly to the Colonies. At other times, or in other places, tt has been maintained that the Acts of Charles the Second t i ° the exclusion of William and Mary , and of Queen Aerie, are alone incorporated in the Colonial code. And l Etin, high legal authorities have declared that the Colo. 13 41 l aw recognized the whole series of English Acts on ibis subject, with the exception of that which was passed the 52d of George the Third. But amidst these disputes I perceive that it is universally admit t e d th at in e absence of positive statute there is no restraint what. ev er on the freedom of religious instruction , t he common i being absolutely silent on the subject. From these di scussions it resulted, that in the Colonies which had h ot ad o pt e d any part of the statute law of England respecting religious teaching or toleration, a freedom ° 4 l restraint prevailed with which it was quite " , ceseary for Parliament to interfere. It is to be pre illuled that this freedom had worked no injurious come luences, because the assembliett had not sought to restrict There was, therefore, no motive for Parliamentary legislation. On the other band, circumstances too noto tiQua to demand a more particular notice, and which, I therefore gladly pass over, with this general allusion demonstrand that in those colonies in which the restrictive statutes had betn adopted, they had become instruments of persecution, and to meet the exigencies of society arisinv out of the intended abolition of slavery, it was indispensa ble that Patliament should secure to the teachers of reli gion, and to their disciples, the fullest opportunity of a free intercourse with each other. In those colonies, therefore, it waa thought necessary to superinduce by Parliamentary authority the recent English statute of George 111. upon these earlier English Acts, which have been made the engine of such ill-advised and dangeroUs proceedings. This explanation will, I trust, enable you to judge to what (-trent the accompanying Act will affect the law of religious toleration in the colony under your Government. —I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, E. G. STANLEY. To Lieut.-Governor Sir J. C. Smyth, &c. &c. &c., British Guiana. GERMAN PAPERS. MUNICH, Nov. 11.—For some days past it has been generally reported here, that a special inquiry has been commenced against a well known Deputy, and that he has already been conveyed to the prison here. It is added that he was arrested at his country seat, and that the cause of his arrest was his having been connected with political writers, against whom proceedings have been instituted. It is stated that investigations are also commenced against another well known Deputy. Petitions in favour of the printer Volkhardt, now confined in the House of Correction, will be presented to his Majesty the King by his wile and his counsel. On the 7th inst. an ordinance was published here, founded on a ministerial rescript of October 29. The first Article of this Ordinance forbids all carriages, no matter to whom they belong, and all riders on horseback, to pass carriages in which their Majesties are ; and when the King is on horseback, it is forbidden to pass or remain before him. The second Article orders all carriages and horsemen who may meet their Majesties, to draw up immediately, s , nd halt till they have passed by. STUTTGARD, NOT. 11.-The Commission of Inquiry at the fortress of Asperg, continues to discharge more of the prisoners. Within these few days it has released three. The prisoners remaining in the fortress are not above seven or eight in number at the moat. We learn, that in the first sittings of the French Chambers, the debates on the commercial convention with Prussia have advanced so far, that the assent to the fundamental treaty is agreed upon, and the Chambe'. has only to discuss secondary points relative to the tarifl,which cannot occasion any difficulties. It is affirmed that two thirds of the Members are favourable to this syst2m.— Journal de Frankfurt, Nov. 16. CARLSRUHE, Nov. 11.—In the sitting of the Second Chamber on the Bth, the Deputy Knapp Inquired of the Ministry what was intended to be done to enforce an interdict, which, according to an article in the Carlsruhe Gazette, had been issued from Rome against certain writings stigmatized as heretical, and against their authors, propagators, and readers (of whom he himself, for instance, was one). M. Von Winter, Councillor of State, replied that he was unacquainted with any official communication on this subject, and the Government of course took no notice of articles in the newspapers. To satisfy the gentleman who asked the question it might suffice to observe, that a Papal brief had no validity in the Grand Duchy of Baden without the piacet of the Grand Duke. LEIPSIC, Nov. 12.—His Serene Highness the Reign ing Grand Duke of Brunswick arrived here to-day, travel ling under the name of Count Von Ehrenstein. —Frankfort Papers, Nov. 16. GENEVA....-.NO answer has yet been received from any of the Ambassadors or Foreign Ministers to the communi cation made to them of the division of Basle into two States. The English Ambassador has not even acknow ledge d the receipt of the communication. —National Genesois. . _ CARLSRUIIE, Nov. 13.—0 n the 9th inst., Swiss Ra dicalism was celebrated at Aran, a triumph which cannot fail to revolt every mind that has not lost all sentiment of right. On that day the ancient university at Basle was annihilated at a blow. It is well known that ever since its foundation, the University, being an inde pendent institution, managed its own concerns as such. The capital was formed by donations from private indivi duals, and the library had the same origin, as well as the collections of different objects. Notwithstanding these facts, the umpire, Keller of Zurich, has bad the audacity to decide that the property of the University belongs to the State, and to assign two-thirds of it to Basle. Thus, by an act of Vandalism, has been destroyed one of the noblest monuments that humanity has founded. —Carlsrt4he Gazette. VIENNA, Nov. 11.—Five per Cent. Metalliques, 93 3 10 ; Four per Cents., 82 25-32; Bank Shares, 1,197 3.10 —Allgemeine Zeituug, Nov. 16. The Nuremberg Correspondent of the 15th inst., says, " It is said that the Crown Prince is now going to Neuf chatel, whose position is not improved by the answer given to the deputation at Berlin. Much importance is attached to the issue of the affair of Luxemburg, now in treaty at Frankfort. No one puts faith in the report set afloat by the Journal d'Arlon, that Prussia will purchase for her self the portion of Luxemburg taken from Holland. Spanish affairs occupy much attention at Berlin. Couriers are constantly going and coming. An European congress is much desired. HEREDITARY REVENUE OF THE CROWN —By the third and fourth of William IV., c. 69, the whole hereditary revenue of the Crown in Scotland, including feuduties, casualties, teinds, &c., is vested in the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, who are the parties in any suit affecting these revenues. They are to sue and be sued in Scotland in the name of the Lord Advocate ; service on whom, and notice to the Commissioners through the Post Office, is sufficient citation. HERESY IN BELGIUM.—We learn upon good authority that all the Bishops of the kingdom will assemble in a few days at Mechlin, in a species of conclave, under the presidency of Archbishop Sterckx, to consider of measures for arresting the progress of the heresy introduced by M. Helsen, the Abbe Chatel of Belgium. —Brussels Paper. The Rev. Robert Vaughan, of Kensington, author of the " Life of Wycliffe," and the " Memorials of the Stewart Dynasty," has been appointed to the chair of History in the London University, by the unanimous vote of the Council on Friday last. Captain Machonochie, Secretary to the Royal Geographical Society, has also been appointed Professor of Geography; the first professorship of the kind ever instituted in England. The pavement lately taken up and relaid in the nave of Exeter Cathedral is Bohemian marble, which stone was much used in our churches during the middle ages. It resembles the verde antique of the Egyptians, being of a grey-green colour, varied by black and white spots, called ophites, and tephria, but this contains petrified antediluvian remains, which the Egyptian marble does not possess. In a similar marble in Derbyshire are discovered parts of the starfish; but this stone is of a whitish-brown colour. It may appear surprising how the beauties of this variegated testaceous nimble should have escaped observation so long; but, like the pebble that contains the madrepore, its shades and figures could only have been seen by polishing.—Western Times. A gentleman named Bridger, residing at Mitcham, was walking through the town on Monday evening towards his house, when he accidentally met the wife and sisters of Mr. Keys, solicitor, of Mitcham. Being acquainted with the family, he accompanied them home, and was in conversation with them in the parlour, when Mr. Keys, who had just arrived from town, entered the room. Addressing Mr. Bridger, he said, " I have suspected this a long time, and now I will be revenged." He instantly drew a pistol from his pocket, and fired it at Mr. Bridger. The ball passed through his right arm. Mr. Keys instantly took out another pistol, and, pointing it, said, " I have another for you." Mr. Bridger ex claimed, " For God's sake don't fire, as I am wounded already." He then rushed out of the house, amidst the screams of the ladies, Mr. Keys following and beating him on the head with a pistol. An application has been made to the Magistrates for the apprehension of Mr. Keys. STRIKE OF JOURNEYMEN MASONS.--.The operative masons struck work yesterday for an advance of from 12s. a week to 1 Is. in the winter season. A Ge neral Meeting was held in the New Mechanics' Hall, North Hanover-street, to concert measures for conducting the strike. The large Hall was crowded to excess during the whole time of meeting, which lasted from twelve o'clock till about four in the afternoon. Mnch to the credit of that body of workmen they have resolved to dec!'ne all intimidation. —Glasgow Courier. Monday evening, as the Express coach from Londen to Dover was within half a mile of Canterbury, the horses took fright, and, bolting across the road, the coach was dragged up the bank and overturned. The paseengets, with one exception, escaped unhurt. When the accident occurred the horses were at a steady pace, and no blame attaches to the coachman. The passengers were brought into Canterbury in a fish waggo n, and, having dined, they proceeded forward to Dover w ith ver y little delay...Kentish Gazette. i, I,il;neillieYae i , jesty's G " I ttbent on t ' 1 6t l y is Inv° %e t ro he b i l r ies ' . 1 " ?Place unit ,ples o It ttnnents i ~If this co P ;'°ith I ha s t/ give birtl Ij t lY be said 6 ") must I i tt ri will, tb l tt tion bee t6 44 11Y obvia $ 64 ° . duction I k il ' o drafts o 6 wn tin et tlnent all v i care sue =,- ttkestions b vimpeo, , ~tilers in 66k 4 tkout all go are tni 1 of t he color T he Co p a rliament you i an dvi top, 6 tnisstot ,ernmen ntriunici . t The6ls ~,„l it io etc 4 Y not b giltance, n euliar f o )I am h.

ULVERSTON HUNT.—The Cavalry Hunt occurred on Friday, and about SO horsemen appeared. Some severe runs took place, and all passed off in excel.. lent style, until an unfortunate accident took place which damped the hilarity of the party. J. W. Patten, Esq., M.P., was thrown from his horse, and it was at first feared had sustained some injury, but happily we are enabled to add, that he is now nearly recovered. In the afternoon a dinner was served up in the theatre to the members of the cavalry corps and friends. —Blackburn Gazette.

Campbell, the poet, was made Lord Rector of Glasgow by the free impulse of the youth of the West. It was a deep snow when he reached the College Green, and the students were drawn up in parties pelting one another. The poet ran into the ranks, threw several snowballs with unerring aim, thensurnmoning the scholars around him in the hall, delivered a speech replete with philosophy and eloquence. It is needless to say how it was welcomed.—Allan Cunningham. A letter from Paris, by the esiafette states that the want of information on Spanish affairs is much complained of by the ruerchaots in Paris, but that the Government itself is in reality possessed of very little. One point of some importance seems, however, to be established by the letter referred to, which is that the general position of affairs in Spain is somewhat mending in favour of the liberal party. Thus, for example, the want of vigour which appears hitherto to have charac terised the movements of General Saarsfield's division is attributed, not so much to any leaning towards the Callas, as to a desire on the part of the officers to obtain some reform in the Government. It is said that M. Zea has become alarmed at this manifestation, and it is in order to counteract it that there has been sent lately from the Minister of War at Madrid to the head-quarters of the army a profusion of crosses and promises of promo tion. As a proof of the extent to which the exportation of bullion is at present going on, it may be mentioned that one vessel alone in the course of last week conveyed to Calais 40,000 ounces of gold and 277,000 ounces of silver. The operation, as we have previously stated, cannot be a profitable one, and is most probably, there fore, a precautionary one, entered into to prevent the threatened decline of the exchanges. On Wednesday an inquest was held at the George the Fourth, Vauxhall Road, on the body of Mrs. Anne Ridley, aged 35, wife of the landlord of the George the Fourth. Mr. Emery, a builder in the Vauxhall Road, stated that on Monday night he was sitting in conversa tion with the deceased, when on a sudden she put her hand to her head, and exclaimed, " Oh dear, my leg is broken !" Witness, who was very much surprised at the expression, thought it was the case, when, on looking at her feet, he observed a large pool of blood, and a large quantity of blood flowing down her lege. In a moment after, her countenance became pallid, her eyes glared, her chin dropped, and she appeared to be dying. Witness exclaimed, " Good God, she is dying !" A medical man was sent for, and he applied bandages to the heinorr bage, which was from a large ruptured vessel of the right leg ; but without effect, and she died in a short time. Verdict, " Natural death." COURT CIRCULAR. The Doke of,Gloucester honoured Drury•lane theat, e with his presence on Wednesday ev, ning.

The sale of fancy work, in aid of the funds of the Sussex County Hospital, commenced yesterday at the Town Hall, and was most numerously attended by the haul ton. The stalls were decorated with various em blematic devices—that of Mrs. Parry was most conspi cuous, having over it, " Sussex County Hospital, the house of mercy : here shall soft charity repair." The sum taken at the door amounted to more tha❑ 601. Her Ma jesty was not pre•ent, but nevertheless she ordered several purchases to be made. Lany Jane Peel was indefatigable in her exertions throughout the day, assisted by Lady Sophia Lennox. The sale will continue this day and to- arrow. t The first of the " Almack's Balls" took place last nigh at the Old Ship Assembly Rooms.

A Meeting of the Subscribers to L'oyd's was held yesler. day, pursuant to public notice, to consider an application mule by the Committee of the kegistry of Shipping for the grant of a sum of money towards organizing and effect ing an improved system of classifying and tegisterirg Bittish and foreign vessels. Mr. DIEWAi. haying taken the chair, and briefly stat(d the purpose of the meeting, Mr. CARRUTHERS rose, and aitei adverting to the great importance to all parties whose interests wtte connected with shipping of possessing such a registry of British and foreign vessels as should be free from even a suspicion of partiality, he proceeded w n to to u s ev lre c instance e some t p o at j u n la t r io s r i which n , among them he pointed &tit the fact that Tessels had a character given to them actordiVg to where Nei were built ; a Sunderland vessel, for indater ; was al ways characterised as inferior to a Thames-built ship, a'though it wad sifffidiently notorious that ves sels could be, and sometimes were, as well built at the former as at the latter place. There wan also an im pression abroad, whether well or ill founded he did not take upon himself to say, that the surveyors were not always inaccessible to a bribe in the performance of their duty; and hence not only was a jealousy excited in the minds of the shipowners, but charterers of vessels did not feel that full confidence in the characters given of the vessels which a sound system of registration ought to induce. To remedy these evils a Committee had been formed, consisting of six shipowners, six merchants, and •ix underwriters, who had come to the conclusion that a new book should be formed instead of the " ted" and " green" books now in use; that to insure a faithful survey of vessels, the surveyors to be employed should be retained at liberal salaries in the exclusive employ of the Com mittee for the book ; that, to create a larger demand for copies, the price, which is at present 10/. 10s. per annum for each of the books, should in future be 3/. 3s. to indivi dual subscribers, and 105/. for four copies to the Insurance Companies (an arrangement in which several of these Companies concurred); and that, in order to meet the expense of launching the new work, an application should he made to Lloyd's for assistance. The permanent funds for meeting the annual expenses, be said, would be met to a considerable extent by a small charge upon the survey of each vessel—a charge which the shipowner would wil lingly pay in order to have the character of his vessel put upon the book. lie concluded by moving " That the sum of 1,0001. be given from the funds of this house in support of the proposal for forming a Registry of British and Fo reign Shipping." This was seconded by Mr. KERR, who, however, said that he should have been better pleased if the sum required had been 2,0001. An amendment to this effect was negatived, and the original motion carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then declared that Wednesday next was the day appointed for confirming the vote in the usual way, by ballot of the subscribers. VESTRY OF ST. PANCRAS. An adjourned Petty Sessions was held yesterday morn• ing, at the Gordon square Board Rooms, before Mr. WWilliam, one of the county magistrates, to hear cause from Mr. Goodchild, also one of the county magistrates, why he refused to pay his assessment to the poor-rate. Mr. AFWILLiam made some observations on the opi nions of the magistrates, who deemed they would not be justified in signing distress-warrants, in consequence of the opinion of the law officers of the Crown upon the legality of the vestry. He had written to Mr. PhiHipps, the Under-Secretary of State, mentioning the grounds urged by Mr. Goodchild and his solicitor, Mr. France, in proof of the illegality of the vestry, and expressing his desire to be made acquainted with the opinion given by the law officers, wherein it appeared that the magistrates would not be justified in issuing warrants of distress for enforcing ' the payment of the rate in question. He bad received a letter in answer, which the vestry-clerk would read. The vestry-clerk then read the letter. " Whitehall, Nov. 20, 1833. " Sir,—l am directed by Viscount Melbourne to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday and its enclosure, and have to acquaint you that his Lordship must decline transmitting a copy of the opinion of the law officers of the Crown. " I am, Sir, yours, &c., " S. M. PHILLIPPS. " To R. M. M'William, Esq." Mr. FRANCE proceeded to argue the illegality of the vestry's election. Mr. DouGLAs did nut see that the election had any thli,g the appeal against the rate. Mr. t FRANCE —Without a vestry there could be no rate. Mr. M‘WIEELAst (to Mr. Worrell, the collector)— What do you apply for ? Mr. WORRELL—For a warrant to distrain upon Mr. Goodchild. Mr. M‘WILELAiit—Mr. Goodchild has - sled ; but has shown no cause why it should not be i Mr. FRANCE — It is quite clear you hi., determined upon granting a warrant. Mr. WWILLIAIt—I have not determined. What is the date of the rate? (To the Vestry Clerk.) "Air. FRANCE—I wish to obtain evidence as to the pro ceedings of the election. The Vestry Clerk said he would produce the rate, and be submitted that on the part of the parish he should produce that, and that alone ; he would not produce the proceedings of the election. Mr. FRANCE—Mr. Goodchild demands the evidence ; you will look to the consequences of the refusal. Mr. GOODCHILD—I do not see when the rate was made. The Vestry Clerk—On the 22d,0f August, 1833, by the vestrymen of the said parish. Mr. Goodchild and his solicitor then took down the signatures to the rate-book—John Chapman, James Braby, Joseph Henderson, and . John Cook, for ulterior proceedings. Mr. GOODCHILD again called upon the vestry clerk to give evidence of facts. Mr. APWILLIAst—You have told me you are ten times my senior as a magistrate, and I ask you whether I, as one in petty sessions, should comply with your request ? Mr. GOODCHlLD—Certainly ; I am in duty bound to show the illegality of the vestry, and I would stake my existence that lam right. I am summoned to show cause, and I am about to do so. Mr. M‘WIELIA3t—If I look upon the rate-book and see that the rate is good, I do not see that in petty sessions I can go further. Mr. GOODCIIILD—Then let me proceed to show cause, or tell me that you will not receive evidence. Mr. WWIELIAm—I am not prepared to go beyond the book. Mr. GOODCIIILD-Will you allow me to show cause why I have not paid my rate? I cannot do so without producing evidence ; and if I do not show cause, I shall in a superior court be turned round upon and asked why I have not done so. Mr. M‘Wmr.rax—You can adduce what evidence you choose, but I will not consider anything beyond the books. Mr. FRANCE remarked upon the number of vestrymen required by the Act in proof of their illegality, and entered into the mode in which the polling should have taken place. There were not, he contended, a sufficient number of vestrymen to constitute the vestry a legal body, and that therefore no act emanating from them could be legal, and anybody acting under their authority having the f icts proved before them were liable, and a section in the Vestries Act provided a remedy to all parties aggrieved. Mr. MlNViwast—Presuming that a rate is made, have you to appeal against it ? Mr. FRANCE-There is no rate to appeal against. We are at inue that there is a rate made. Mr. GOODCrilin—There is no rate, and we cannot appeal against a nonentity. Mr. M‘WitcrAst—The publication and the signatures of the two magistrates you admit? Mr. GOODCHILD--Yes. Mr. M'SVILLIA3I—Then, that is the case on the p , trt of the parish. Warrant against Mr. Goodchild granted. Mr. GooncitiLD—l will now tell you that I shall go for a quo warranto. 1 shall let the warrant go into my house, but Ido not mean to pay, but to replevy, as the former would bar my right of action. The Vestry Clerk wished it to be understood that be objected to produce the proceedings of the election only as related to the present case. He was quite at their service now the business was over. IMMENSE PEARS.—There are now at the office of this paper, two immense winter pears, grown in the garden of Sir T. D. Hesketh, Bart., at Ruffurd Hall. One of these, called the Cadillac, measures in circumference longitudinally 131 inches, and in circum ference equatorially 111 inches ; the other called Wedale's St. Germain, measures, in like manner, 13 inches and 124 inches. The former, when gathered, weighed 191 ounces, the latt r ISi ounces. They are both, and particularly the smaller one, of a firm substance, and are of a species suitable for preserving, in which state they are, we are informed, rich and palatable.—Preston Chronicle. THE ARMY. It is said in the military circles that the Government allowances to army agents (nearly 20,0001. per annum) are to be considerably reduced ; that all transactions between the agents and regimental paymasters are to be prformed by the War Office direct ; and that the expense* , of keeping the Colonel's accounts and his off-reckonings are to be paid by these officers themselves.

The . object of the railway is to connect South Shields with that Irranch of the New castle and Carlisle railway intended to lye made from Blaydon to Gateshead and Hebburn. It is contemplation to form a railway from Durham to Sunderland, and the same company are projecting► another railway, from Sunderland to a portion of the estate of T. R. G. Braddyll, Esq., called Moor High Hold, half a mile west of his colliery at South Hetton. By this railroad, and a projected branch from it to the Hartlepool railway, coals may be brought to Sunderland from collieries of South Hetton, Haswell, and Tbornley A meeting of the proprietors of the Wigan branch railway, and also of the Preston and Wigan railway, for the purpose of coming to a final arrangement for incorpo rating the two undertakings in one concern, under the name of the North Union li..lway Company, was held in Liverpool on Wednesday week. Perfect unanimity and good feeling prevailed amongst the r?spective parties, and resolutions were p issed authorizing an ai:plication to Par liament for an Act, founded on a draught ot a bill produced to the meeting. Application is to be made in the ensuing session to ex tend the line of the Grand Junction Railway, anti by means of a tunnel to connect it with the London aid Birmingham Railway at the termination of the line of the latter. Application is also to be mad , . for a Bill to au thorize the construction of ten feet w, e of the carriage way or waste ground on the side of the turnpike roads from Islingto❑ to Birmingham, into a hard and solid ro td for locomotive steam-carriages. The projected railway from Gloucester to Birmingham continues to excite much interest. Opinion is divided as to the line of road to be preferred, Mr. Woodeson recom mending through Kidderminster and Stourbridge, while Mr. Brunel points out a line near Cheltenham, Tewkes bury, and Worcester. We are informed that the Brighten Railway Company have lately finished their surveys of all the land between Kennington Common across to the Walworth Road, and from thence to that part of the line of road of the London and Greenwich Railway Company in the parish of Bother [lithe, where it appears the former company are anxious to join them by a branch, so as to enable them to approach the metropolis ; an advantage they otherwise could not obtain, except at a most tremendous outlay of capital for the purchase of ground so near London, and the erections on it; whereas it appears the Act of Parliament for the Greenwich viaduct was obtained at the most advantageous moment, we may say to the Directors and the Company, inasmuch that when the old London bridge was demolished, and the space of ground on the south side unoccupied, that company will of course have much less to pay for than if it were covered with large and expensive buildings, and, as this railway is elevated on arches and goes over all the streets it comes in contact with, and thus surmounting all difficulties, a safe and cheap approach is made to the me tropolis, which no other company can present to their proprietors, and must ultimately be the only line for all or any railways to the south of London. If this, therefore, be the intention of the Brighton Company, we think it is the most judicious plan they can possibly adopt, and, of course, will prove a most lucrative traffic for the proprie tors of the Greenwich, as will also the projected continua tion of their line to Chatham and Dover by other Com panies (the Bill for the fornie being already 10de,41 io do Private Bill Office at the House of Commons). The extra tolls which the Greenwich must derive from these sources, independent of their own enormous traffic which will occur from the cheapness, velocity, and shortened distance, will produce a revenue to the proprietors which for their spirit ed enterprise they are so justly entitled to. We are glad to find that the Directors of the Liverpool and Birmingham Railway are proceeding in the formation of tneir works with a degree of promptitude and activity which augurs well for their speedy completion. In the adjoining county of Chester the cutting of the line has commenced at several points, and in that part of the line which lies between Knutsford and Mere considerable pro gress has already been made ; and we perceive that the Directors are advertising for tenders for the erection of a viaduct over the River Weaver, in the township of Dut ton, which, when completed, will be, perhaps, the most magnificent structure of the kind i❑ the United Kingdom. It is to consist of eighteen arches, each of sixty feet span and sixty feet high ; so that the Sankey viaduct will ap pear insignificant in comparison with it.—Manchester Guardian. There are at present several notices in course of publi cation in the Newspapers of intention to apply to Parlia ment for Acts to construct Railways in Northumberland and Durham. In the first place, there are two schemes for establishing a Railway communication between New castle and North Shields, with a view to a junction, at a future period, with the Carlisle Railway, if it should be considered expedient. This will probably end in one such Railway Company being established, for there is clearly no room for two. A third distinct project is the forma tion of a Railway from the city of Durham to Sunder land ; a fourth is the construction of a Railway from the termination of the Hartlepool Railway at Moorsley to Usworth, in the parish of Washington. We may add a fifth, but that will probably be accomplished with out applying to Parliament at all, and that is, the construction of Branch Railways, which we understand the Stanhope Railway Company are going to make to join the Carlisle continuation railroad from Blaydon to Heb burn. These are to extend from below Boldon to Monk wearmouth and to Heworth. These projects are certainly calculated effectually to uni , e the east and west coasts, to draw forth all the mineral wealth of this part of the country, to give great facilities to carrying on traffic of every description, and to afford inducements to a more frequent intercourse by travelling than has hitherto existed. —Tyne Mercury. The Stanhope and Tyne Railroad Company are proceed ing rapidly in the formation of their line of way front Stanhope to South Shields. They have engaged to perfect their splendid undertaking by forming branches from below Boldon to Monkwearmouth and Heworth. The latter will join the intended continuation of the Carlisle Rail way, affording a communication between Carlisle, Stan hope, the Hartlepool Railway, Monkwearmoutb, Gates head, and South Shields.—lbid.
