Sta,—Having read the account in your Paper a few days since of the phenomenon, who, though blindfolded and placed with his back to the company, described ac curately articles that were held up, allow me to ask if the father may not be a ventriloquist, and the answers proceed from bins. If so, the wonder ceases ; and this solution seems probable, from the circumstance of the ht,y'd face being turned from the company, by which the non•muve- went of his lips is unobserved. SCRUTATOR.

THE POTTERIES AND NEWCASTLE.—We regret to state that in some parts of this district typhus fever is very prevalent. A correspond en t says, that "at Longport, in eighteen houses, no less than forty persons were affiieteal at the same time. Of these, five died, some are still in a dubious state, and some are in a fair way of recovery. At Bursiem and Vale-place also the disease has made its appearance." The typhus fever is s carce l y a l ess dreadful disease than the cholera ; it is well, therefore, that the actin measures of precaution which are enforced against the one are equally efficacious in keepin g away the otbzr.—Staffordshire Mercury. H URRICA NE IN BARBADOES.--W, have much yet to relate of the ravages of this extensively deso lating tempest, but being under the necessity of economizing our paper, we can only speak generally at present of the public buildings destroyed or injured by the storm. They have all suffered, every place of worship in the island i s either destroyed or has suffered material damage. The cathedral and St. Mary's chapel have suffered the least in jury ; the latter has suffered most. Government-hou se i s almost a total ruin ; Bishop's-court, the episcopal residence, nearly demolished, the dining-room being the only habi table part ; King's-house much injured. That venerable building, Codrington College, whose massy walls it was supposed would have resisted almost any violence of tem pest, and which had lately been largely extended for the reception of our young students, is now a melancholy heap of ruins. The Principal's house escaped destruction, but has suffered in some degree. Belmont, the residence of Archdeacon ELIOT, totally unroofed. In the cellars and in the arches round the buildings there is alone shelter from the weather, and there upwards of fifty persons have taken refuge.-. Barbadian, NEW COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. The gentlemen deputed by the Lord Chancellor to select the most fit persons to be official assignees under the Act fir e•tablishing a Court of Bankrupty have, through their Secretary, sent a circular to each applicant, of which the following is a copy : " Secretary of the Bankrupts' Offi7e, Quality-court, " Chancery.danc, Nov, if, 1831. am directed to inform you that, at a meeting held yesterday of the gentlemen deputed by the Lord Chancellor to select the most fit persons to he official assignees Under the Act for establishing a Court in Bankruptcy, it was resolved— " That it is the opinion of this meeting that no person ought to act as official assignee who may he employed alone, or in part nership, in any business whatsoever, and that no such assignee ought to be a Director of, or hold any office in any public Com pany, or under any public Board. " That no such person ought to be appointed official assignee who shall be above sixty years of age. " That the security to be give❑ by each official assignee ought to be 0,0001. " That a circular stating the nature of the duties to be per formed, and the purport of the preceding resolution, be sent to each applicant, and that he be requested to specify within a given time whether he still remains an applicant, and that, in default of such answer being sent, his name shall be struck from the list. " I am further to inform you that the duties to be performed by such assignees will be, immediately on a bankruptcy being► declared, with the aid of the messengers of the Court, to take. possession of ail the bankrupt's property, and more especially of his books and papers, and to investigate the state of his accounts, and the amount of debts due to or trope him ; to see at once that due care be taken of the property; to act in conjunetioa with the assignees to be chosen by the creditors, when such choice shall be made in the general management of all the bankrupts' concerns, so as to take care that the same be converted into money as soon as a due regard to the nature of the property, and the proper time for effecting a sale will admit of ; and, finally, to receive all the produce of the estate, and pay the same imme diately into the Bank of England. " You will be good enough to signify, by letter addressed to me, and delivered at this office on or before the ‘ , oth mhtant, that you will desire to accept the office, if such be your wish. " It should be observed that by the terms of the Act no per sons are eligible except merchants, brokers, or accountants, or persons who .ire or have been engaged in trade in the cities of London or Westminster, or the parts adjacent.'—l remain, Sir, your most obedient servant, " W. VIZARD." A portion of the above document has already appeared in the .'horning Herald. As, however, we intend to offer some comments upon the regulations laid down by the gentlemen deputed by the Lord Chancellor, we think it but, ustice to give the circular entire. In the first place it must be obvious to every one that the Lord Chan cellor's deputies or representatives have made a law corn, pletely at variance with the law made by the representa tives of the nation. It will be seen, on reference to the circul ir, that the former body has decreed that " no per son ought to act as an official assignee who may be em ployed alone or in partnership in any business whatso ever," whereas we learn, from the self-same document, that the Act of Parliament has expressly provided that " no persons are eligible except merchants, brokers, or accountants, or persons who are or have been engaged in trade in the cities of London or Westminster, or the part , adjacent." From this extract it is evident that the Legislature, so far from contemplating the rendering in eligible persons engaged in trade, clearly points out such persons as the most fit to act as official assignees. We do not, however, by any means think that the pro vision of the Act as to the qualifications of candidates is per fect ; on the contrary, we look upon it as imperfect. We can see, for instance, no reason why the class of persons enu merated should be alone elieible ; much less can we un derstand why all persons should be unqualified who have not been engaged in trade in the cities of London or West r&nster, or the parts adjacent. If, however, the Act in this respect be bad, the regulations of the Lord Chancel lor's deputies have made it a hundred times worse. They do, indeed, in fact, render no persons eligible except traders, &c. who have been bankrupts, or who have been, or who are, unfortunate in business. It is quite clear that no merchant will give up a profitable business for the sake of an.appointment of a few hundreds a year under an Act which is avowedly nothing mare than experimental; and the same remark is applicable to all the other persons enumerated. Those who have retired from trade upon a competency are obviously out of the question. They are not likely to undertake the duties of an office, which, if filled to the advantage of the State, must involve great. labour and anxiety, We repeat, therefore, that it the Lord Chancellor follows the advice of his deputies, and acts in accordance with the law in regard to the class of persons eligible, he must appoint men wbo have been bankrupts, or who have been unfortunate or unsuccess ful in business. Whether these are the sort of persons best fitted to become official assignees we will leave the public to judge. THE CHURCH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The present feelings of the times towards our admired Church have been slightly displayed here in a seizure for Church-rates. Two of the suf ferers are Quakers, the other not so. A bill, e n _ nounc:ng the sale of the distrained articles, was im mediately followed by the underneath spirited app ea l and statement : " SEIZURE FOR CHURCH RATE. " A handbill printed by John Lowthin announces that ' Two sacks of superfine flour, an excellent brass fender and fire irons, and a large quontity of soda are to be sold by auction, at the Goat Inn, Bottle Bonk, Gateshead, on Monday, the 14th day of November, at eleven o'clock pre cisely.' " These goods have been taken (under sanction of the law as it now exists, by a warrant from the Magistrates, granted upon the demand of the Churchwardens) from Se_ ve ral of your neighbours for church-rate, which they can not conscientiously pay ; because by so doing, they would be contributing to the suppott of a State religion, which they believe to be in many respects, directly oppo se d to the precepts and example of Jesus Christ and his Apostl es . " The time is not far distant, when the people will se e the injustice of compelling those who have separated themselves from this wealthy and domineering church, to contribute towards its maintenance. Let the inhabitants of Gateshead, always zealous in the cause of Reform, t a k e the lead ; and show to their fellow countrymen that they disapprove of such unjust proceedings , by ra fusin g to pur chase these goods;--recollecting that if there were no purchasers of stolen goods, there would be very few thieves : and if Dissenters generally would follow the ex ample thus set them, and refuse to ply this unprincipled and unjust rate, we should soon Ind there would b e no purch isers of this legal plunder. In order that you may duly estimate the moderation, with which those who will not ; because they cannot conscientiously pay these demands are treated, you must be informed th it one sack of flour value 455. was taken for a demand of 11s. 4d., with law charges lie. 4d., together 225. Sd. And the fender and fire-irons which lately cost 445. were taken for a de mand of 9s. 4d., with law charges 11s. 4d., waking a total of 20e. Sd. Another sack of flour value 48s. 61, was taken from Thomas Glaholm, for a demand of 94. for church-rate, law expellees same as the other cases, making a total of 20s. Sd. Therefore in all these dies four times the original demand is taken by these satellites of clerical rapacity. " Fellow townsmen, touch not, taste not the unhallowed thing." _ . The assemblage was smaller than might have been expected for such a spirit-stirring occasion, but it could easily be perceived on the gather ing of the assembly, that the uncompromising advo cates of the " good cause" were most numerous and at their posts. The wretched imbeciles who bid and purchased were, I understand, a constable, ti bailiff, a poor man who has a coal-boat, and sciuce a sixpence, and the uninterested landlord; the last ventured a bode, the third must have been a hire ling, and the other two, of course, noble, disinte rested, uninfluenced individuals. The purchases were made amidst the hisses and groans of the company, much to the annoyance and the depriva tion of the bloom of the pitiable tools. There was not an independent tradesman or respectable person, although many present, made a single offer. I can only conceive this circumstance as a display of the general feeling that now pervades every honest man's breast. The Church has become loathsome, from the cowduct of its leaders, in the eyes of all who have a mind to think or a comprehension to understand. During the manful and patriotic re sistance of Messrs. Potter and Savage, any news relative to it was eagerly devoured, and during the progress of the combination on that occasion how gladdened was the heart ! Would the London rate-payers but state n hour when they willed that Church-rates should cease, thousands, millions, in the country are .now only waiting the command. And when once the overburdened people will it, in every Church rate book may be written FINIs. G4trshead-on-Tyne, Nov. 11, 1831.

VIENNA, Nor. 7.—His Highness Prince Metternich left Selmenbrunn early this morning„ and has returned to the Chan cery, near the Palace ; this induces the hope th a t his Majesty the Emperor will, in a few days, also return to the capital. ('ount Geislay, President of the Antic Council of War, is dangerously ill, but there are rtill hopes of his recovery. The loss of a man like him at this moment would be severely felt, and very difficult to be repaired. We are threatened with another great loss; our revered Archbishop, Count Von Firmian, after a long illness, which was not thought dangerous, is extremely weak, and - received extreme unctionthis morning. 'There are f requen t communications with the French Government, which are supposed to relate to the general disarming and to Poland. Most of the Polish officers have received from the French Legation passports fin - France. As for the disarming, the most positive assurances have been received from France that it shall be commenced in that coon t&, and the example of Austria followed as soon as the daferenres between Belgium and Tolland shall be finally settled. There is, therefore, a Well-grounded hope, that the immense mi litary establishments of the European Powers may soon be gently diminished, and the burdens of the people alicalated, for however, the party of the nouremcet may flatter itself with the prospects of war, the differences in the Netherlands will not tend to it; the union of the Great Powers, founded on their reciprocal interest, is too firm, their will to preserve peace too positive, for an opposition to their joint decisions made in London. We are fully convinced here, that the Kings of Holland and Belgium will ac cept the twenty-four articles, and that both countries will come to an arrangement respecting the execution of them without kindling the flames of a general war. This conviction is such, that the disbanding of the troops already commenced is con tinued without interruption. Our funds maintain the prices to which they have risen within these few day. , , though trade is but slowly recovering from its state of depression. BERLIN, Not. 7.—lt is understood that the King will grant a complete amnesty to all his subjects of the Grand I)uchv of Posen who went to Poland, to take part in the political affairs of that country. All the letters from Poland arc very gloomy. There is scarcely a family which has not lost some of its members through the war, or which is most uneasy about them, for many fears respecting the future still prevail. The ge neral prosperity is destroyed, trade revives but slowly, and all the strict discipline of the Russians, and their generally exempt try conduct, cannot make the state of tsar through which we have just passed forgotten. The object of the journey of the Emperor Nicholas to Moscow, is said to be again to discuss in that ancient capital of the empire, with the great men, the institutions which the Emperor Alexander had already intended and pre pared for Russia; the presence of many Poles of distinction is supposed to be connected with this object, who were lately directed to repair to Moscow, for it is said to have been judged inconsis tent, that conquered and reconquered Poland should be more fa voured in that respect than the ancient provinces of the Russian empire. 1)r. Sacks, in No. SS, of his Cholera Journal, published here, shews, against Dr. Rust, the fallability of the doctrine of con tagion, as well as the mischief and impracticability of the at tempts founded on it, to arrest the progress of the disorder by cutting off the communication. It is to be hoped that the alarm so methodically excited by scientific and magisterial authority ii) the countries to the west of us will cease, after the experience which we have dearly purchased, (with some popular tumults', and that the system of incommunication will be at once done away with by all enlightened Governments after what has passed among us. MUNICH, Nov. 10.—The difflarences between Bavaria and Saxe Coburg are arranged, and six villages, with about 450 inha bitants, ceded to Coburg. DRESDEN, Nov. a—The Board of Regulation for the cholera has thought fit to make important modifications in its precau tionary measures. With respect to goods imported it makes a difference between those which are and those which are not susceptible of receiving contagion, and the former arc only sub ject to ten days' quarantine. All ships without distinction are admitted, but each ship must have riot only the usual cer tificate, but also complete proof that the health of the crew has been duly investigated at Magdeburg, Achen, 'Wittenburg, Torgaw, and Mecklenburg. The performance of quarantine for twenty days remains in force. „ Extract of a letter from a highly respectable ship-owner at North Shields, to Messrs. DUKE and Hui, Coal Exchinze The Sunderland people would have us believe that their town is in a healthy state, but we cannot have better evidence than is given by Dr. Dann, from the medical men's reports to him; and instead of the disease disappeming, it is evidently in creasing; but I think it quite absurd of the Government to put the ships under quarantine, when the communication continues open by land. The coaches are going and returning from Sun derland to South Sliklds and Newcastle daily, while a keel from thence to this port i laying at the entrance of this harbour in varantino, with a man and woman on board, who, from the severity of the weather, are nearly starved ith cold. Souse of the Sunderland colliers were not allowed to enter their port, and have consequently come in here, where they will load. The crews go to Sunderland daily, and when the vessels are loaded they will proceed from this port to London. It is a great pity that the Government is not set right in this matter, and recom. mended to remove the quarantine, or also stop the communica tion by land. I trust the next accounts from Sunderland will be snore favourable, but you will observe there were 24 new cases on Monday.—North Shields, Nov. 16.” Various rumours are afloat in the legal circles ' respecting the changes which are likely to take place. It is said that Lord TENTEnnEN intends to retire, and that he will be succeeded, as Lord Chief Justice of England, by Lord LvNnuuttsr. There will then he two vacancies in the Court of Exchequer, Baron BAYLEY having accepted the Chief Justiceship of the new Bankrupt Court. These vacancies will be filled up by Mr. Justice ALDERSON, from the Common Pleas, and, probably, Sir THOMAS DENMAN, the present Attorney-General. Mr. GURNEY, K.C., is mentioned as likely to he promoted to the Bench of the Court of Common Pleas. Lord TENTERDEN has not of late been in the enjoyment of good health. His Lordship was obliged to leave the Court of King's Bench on Wed nesday, and was absent the whole of Thursday.- CourtJour. It is currently reported that the Marquis of TavarrocK and Lord FRANCIS OSBURNE are among the names of those Members of the Lower House who have been proposed to the KING for e!evation to the Peerage. I t i s hi g hly probable that the Lust-mentioned Nobleman will be summoned to the House of Peers to sit in the Duke of BEttroan's barony of Howland ; and it is said that the title of the late Noble Member for the county of Cambridge will be Lord GODOLPHIN, one of the family honours of the house of Osborne. In the possible event of Lord TAVIsrOCK'S elevation to the Peerage, the repre sentation of the county of Bedford will be open to a re former, as the colleague of Sir PETER PAYNE. Lord RussELL's recent retirement from the representation of Tavistock, in order to make room for his relative, Colonel FRANCIS RUSSELL, is, it is surmised, connected with the temporary extension of the Peerage to the family of the Duke of BEDFORD. POST-OFFICE. Mr. ROBERT PORTER having become a bankrupt, he has been removed from the office of Postmaster of this city, and his place has this week b ee n supplied by FERG US GRAHAM, Esq., cousin to Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Bart. A memorial was most nu merously signed by the principal merchants, tradesmen, and principal inhabitants of the city recommending to the General Post-office Mr. JOHN APCONNELL, on account of his long, able, and faithful services as head clerk of the Post-office here. We are sorry this memorial his not been attended to. A similar thing was done when the late Postmaster WAS appointed. That was said to be a piece of Tory favouritism ; the present appointment must, on the same principle, be set down to Whig favouritism : and we cannot say that either the one or the other reflects much credit on the parties,. We must, however, add, that, next to Mr. .M`CoNstELL, we knew no man in Car lisle whom we would rather have seen appointed to the office than the gentleman who has obtained it. Besides, his appointment will be a saving to the country of his half pay, as a retired officer-501. a year. Carlisle Journal.

THE CHOLERA. (From the Portsmouth Herald.) We know an instance of a family at Dantzic, con oisting:of a man, his wife, mother•in-law, and two children, living in one room of a small house which contained nine others, making in all fourteen ! The man slept in the same bed with his wife and one child; the other child slept in a cradle close along side the father's bed; and the mother-in-law slept in the opposite corner. The room in which they resided measured nine feet by five, and was six feet in height ! The man was seized with a violent at tack of the cholera, went through all the varicus stages of the disease, and died in the room ; and no other individual in that room or house took the disease. \l'f.l know an instance of a grave having been prepared in the immediate vicinity of Dantzic, for the reception of twelve bodies of persons who had died of cholera. Eleven bodies were deposited in the grave, and which was, from some oversight or other cause, left open.- A gentleman (who was a contagionist) and his servant were out shooting ii the neighbourhood, and were attracted by a very peculiar stench. By following their nose , , they were soon brouTht to the side of the grave, ►which contained the eleven bodies in a state of decomposi tion, and from which the effluvia was so dreadfully offensive, that they ►were under the necessity of hold ,:g their noses. Neither the gentleman nor his ser vant took the disease. The former Las become a staunch anti-contagionist. We know an instance where a medical man dis sected twenty-one bodies of persons who had died from cholera, and he felt no ill effects from it. In one case, the operator cut his thumb and first finger with the knife which had divided the flesh of a de• ceased cholera subject. He merely sucked the wounds and bound them up, and felt no inconve nience whatever. This same gentleman was con ,tautly in and out of the hospital at Dantzic, in which were great numbers of cholera patients, for upwards of three months during the worst period ot the disease, (frequently in a state of perspiration, when the body is known to be peculiarly susceptible,) but he never took it. In this hospital the choler, patients were not separated from, but mixed pro miscuously with, (sometimes even from want ot room, arising from the great number of inmates, sleeping in the same beds with) other patients, rum in no one instance, during the whole of the above time, was the disease ever communicated either to one of the other patients, the medical men, or Oar-- nurses who attended them. We know instances of medical men having ino culated dogs, cats, and rabbits, with the matter from a cholera subject, and in some cases, so firmly con vinced were they of the non-contagiousness of the disease, that they actually inoculated themselves; but in no one case was the disease communicated. We know an instance of a medical man, who was in constant attendance on numerous cholera patients, having attemded a lady in child-bed (during which time it is well known the body is exceedingly sus ceptible of disease), three several times during one day, each time fresh from the bedside of a cholera patient; and neither the medical man nor the lady took the disease. The two following facts we relate on the autho rity of a gentleman residing, for the present, in this town. He himself witnessed the latter in India, the first he had from a friend who was on board. The ship was on her passage from Bainbay to Canton, and on one particular morning, the officers and crew having been in good health on the previous evening, it was found that six men had (lied of cholera during the night, after a few hours' illness. The disease was of so malignant and violent a cha racter, that the efforts of the medical men were utterly useless. These men were buried, and on the next morning six more had died, and during the two following days, twelve more ; making in all twenty-four deaths in four successive days. These men were all sailors, not one of the officers being seized. In no one instance was the disease commu nicated to any of those who attended upon the sick, or assisted in burying them. The ship was going at the rate of 200 miles per day, and after the fourth day they appeared to have got out of the atmos pheric influence which produced the fatal pestilence, as no one case occurred after that time. Our informant was an officer in the East India Company's service, and was encamped close to a river with between five and seven thousand men ; partly natives, but for the most part Europeans.— The cavalry were to the right of the lines. The cholera suddenly broke out among the cavalry ; it was not very serious at first, and was not thought much of. It shortly, however, assumed a more ma lignant character, and an officer was_ seized in the night, and died within five hours. The cavalry were then ordered and proceeded to the other side of the river, to the distance of about three quarters of a mile, and no one case occurred after moving. A similar instance happened three several times, and the cholera always disappeared on changing quar ters. In neither case did the cholera affect the whet end of the camp to that in which it broke our, with One solitary exception, when a Seljeant-major was seized and died. No means were taken to prevent • the men of the different corps mixing together, and which they did without limit. It was never sup posed for a moment to be contagious. We have also, within these few days, been in formed by a Major in the Army who has served fo: a great number of years in India, that he has wit nessed several violent and fats] attacks of cholera it, that country, but it was well known not to be con tagious from the circumstance that change of guar lets, even to a place which was in a general sense more unhealthy than the one they had left, would always arrest its progress. He says that, if the cholera broke out in a valley or swamp, it would immediately disappear on their reaching the hills; and, if it broke out on the latter, it would be checked ou reaching the low grounds. From this he very properly insisted that, if the disease were contagious, a mere change of place could not have checked it ; but that, if the complaint arose from a particular atmospheric influence, which he maintained, and we think with much plausibility, a change of quarters would, of course, be effectual. Our friend added that the medical men in India, who had the most practice and experience in the cholera,w ere uniformly of opinion that it was not contagious. To the above facts, we will add the following highly interesting account, the substance of which we have received from a gentleman who was on board at the time and witnessed it. The particu lars are, of course, open to contradiction by any of the officers or crew of the ship, should they be mis represented August, 1821, his Majesty's ship Tees, on her return from the River Hoogley (the ‘Nestern branch of the Ganges) to Trincomalee, touched at Madras, and took in a small supply of fresh beef and vegetables. She then stood on for Trincomalee along the coast of Ceylon, keeping close along the shore for the benefit of the breeze which uniformly springs up, off the land, after sun set. On one evening, during the above month, the hands were turned up to ree f t h e toj - sa il s , w h e n several of the men remained in the tops for the sake of enjoying the cool and spicy breeze which blew off the coast of Ceylon. Nineteen of those in the tops were seized with a violent attack of cholera during the first watch. They were carried down below by their messmates, and placed in their hammocks. The greater number of them died within a very short period ; many, in the course of a few hours ; who assisted ted in carrying the but patients one b those w' : or of ' those attended them (luring their illness, took tho disease. It ie., more over, a curious fact, that no person on deck or below was seized with the cholera, during the four days on which it prevailed on hoard, the attacks being con fined exclusively to the men aloft. On the third day (21 the attack, the starboard clew of the main topsail was started, and the s a il hayin g hen lowered down upon the yard, the sail-maker went aloft to ,-epair it ; and, tivhile Tying out upon the yard, h e was suddenly seized with the cholera, was slung in roi:e by lie comrades, and lowered down On t h e 12tarter-deek, " where he died in about ton minutes." Neither of the oleo, who as-fisted to lower him down, took the disease ; nor did any person who attended him ;luring this severe attack. We depart for a mowent froin our direct eourse to state that, as soon as might be after the attack, a large glass of brandy was administered, and when the stomach became a little settled, five grains of calomel were given. 11 1 every case, in which the stomach had strength to retain this medicine, the patient recovered; but in every case in which it was rejected, the man died. We might multiply these case; ad iyinitunt, were it necessary, but we shall for the present merely add to the give the one fact, that among the whole number of medical men at Dantzie, during the late severe visitation of the-cholera, viz.—twenty-five, twenty-one were non-contag - ionists, and four only, eontagionists; and these four could not possibly know any thing at al! about the disease; for, so firmly impressed were they with a belief in its con tagious qualities, that they walked about, like talk ing spectre , , clothed in en oil-skin covering from head to foot, which so completely shrouded them . from observation, that their cnouthe, noses, and eyes, .vhich were visible through small apertures made for the purpose, were the only certain indications that this frightful and glistenine mass contained an 7/ (tying human I These men, wheneezer they went to ertend a cholera patient, would barely peep in at the door, and after asking a question or two would turfy off (to use the words of our intellige:"ht tct formant), as if the Devil were uftor them ! 13v-thew •,ye, their hideous dress would be an ample apologe, tor any person who mistook them for the old ge»te man's confederates, their appearance was no truly diabolical Need we ask how it wai possible that indivi ,luals, so acting, could become possessed of any knowledge whatever of the nature of the cholera Surely, it must be obvious to every man in his ~, e7leS, that those only, whose opportunities of ob serving the disease in ail its stages v.•ere frequent, And who have profited by practical experience, can fairly be expected to have formed any thing like cur rtct ideas on this subject.

Between one and two o'clock on Sunday morning the farm-yard of Mr. EDW ARD TwEEr, Lewssy farm, distant one mile from Doubtable, and font from Luton, was discovered to be on fire by a child d e ight years old, who was awakened by the flames, and im mediately alarmed his father. Messengers were promptly di•pstched for the Dunstable and Luton engines, in both which towns tie alarm was given. On the discovery of the fire, as there were only three boys who slept of.l the premises, it was only possible to save the horses, which, with the exception of one, was accomplish e d with great difficulty. The fire, after raging for some hours with great fury, entirely destroyed the farm and rick-yard, with all the barns, &c., leaving only the farm-house, granary, and a cart hovel standing. Three cows and up wards of sixty pigs perished in the flames, and all the agricultural implements were destroyed. The farm-house twice caught, and was injured, but was rescued from the flames by the engines. Six stacks of corn, including one hovel and two stacks of wheat, wire totally destroyed. The farm is the property of the Duke of Benroan, and the tenant a highly respectable farmer. Tare destruction of property, it is supposed, will exceed 30001. ; but part of it was insured in the Sun Fire-office. It is added with regret that there remains not ;lie least doubt but it was wilfully set on fire in the rick-yard by stme vile inctadiary. —(From a Correspondent.)

SCOTCH CHURCH, REGENT-SQUARE. —In consequence of the positive declaration of the Rev. En. WARS) IRvizio to his church and congregation on the 13th instant, that he should forbid for the future the exercise of the " unknown tongues" during the usual Sabbath ser vices, we were not a little surprised at Mr. IRVING's stating yesterday morning, that he had committed an error by so doing ; but " he that wavereth is like a wave of th e sea, driven about with every wind an d tossed." He stated that if it pleased the Lord to speak by his messengers, he begged them to listen with devout attention. In a few seconds a female (we believe Miss CARSDALE) commenced in the unknown tongue, and then in the known tongue. She said, " lle shall reveal it, he shall reveal it. Yea, heed it, yea, heed it. Ye are yet in the wilderness. De -pise not his word, despise not his word. Not one jot or tittle shall pass away." The Minister then rose, and called upon the church to bless the Lord for his voice, which they had just heard in the midst of the congrega tion. The worship then proceeded. The church was not half full; the usual attraction was not expteted.— Correspondent of the Tinics.
