ARRIVALS, SAILINGS, &C., DURING THE WEEK On Friday, the 14th, the Lightning, steam-vessel, &rived from the Eastward to be in attendance on his Highness ,the Duke of Saxe Coburg and sons. On Saturday, the 15th, the Benbow, 74, sailed from Spithcad, for the Clyde, to endeavour to complete her complement of men. On Sundry, the 16th, arrived from the Eastward, the Avon, steam-vessel ; and in the evening the garrison fired a royal salute, in consequence of the arrival of his Royal Highness, the Duke of Saxe Coburg. On Monday, the 17th, his Royal Highness and suite embarked in the Lightning, and proceeded at once for Lisbon. On Tuesday the Avon steam vessel sailed for Cork, On Wednesday the 10th, the Seaflower cutter art'; ved From Jersey to refit. On Thursday the 200), it being the anniversary of her Majesty's accession to the throne, the ships at Spit head and in harbour fired a Royal salute. This day a Swedish corvette of war passed through Spithead, but did not give the customary salute. An accident happened on Wednesday last to two men belonging to the Royal Marine Artillery. A party were practising at Cumberland Barracks when a shell burst, and so shattered their legs, that in each case it is feared the amputation of both will be necessary. We are very quiet at this port. THE LATE STORM. We observe that Captain Denham, F.R.S., of the Royal Navy, the zealous and enterprising officer, so justly appreciated for his valuable surveys and new channel operations at Liverpool, is at present engaged in carrying out similar operations at Wyre Harbour, in Morecorn'ue Bay, Lancashire. By this desirable undertaking, a new and easily accessible port, with adequate docks, available for ships of large burthen, will be shortly added to the maritime security of our westcra coast. INSURRECTION AT MARANIIA Al'—The Rapid, Captain White, which sailed front Maranharn on the .oth ult. and arrived et Liverpool yesterday afternoon, brings acceunts of an insurrection of a formidable character in the vicinity of th a t town ; the rebels having gained p ossess i on cf all the reighbourin,r towns and villages.' They daily expect e d to makee their ent rance i nto Maranhain were and, in anticipation of such an event, the vessels Victory and Campion had received orders to have their boats in readiness to convey the met cha its on board.

UNITED SERVICE BENEVOLENT INSTITU TION FUR GRANTING PEN,IONS TO THE WIDOWS AND ORPHANS Or OVEICERS —On Friday evening a grand fancy dress bail in aid of the funds of the above excellent Institu tion, tLok place at Willis's Rooms, King street, St. Jimes's square, and which was most respectably and numerously attended, nearly 1,000 of the chief nobility and gentry b e i ng present, and the scene was of the moat animated and lively description. Flags of rll nations and military t , trophies wer e most tastefully and beautifully arranged, • and at the upper end of the room, over the seats destined fir the Royal Family and the Ladies Patronesses, the Royal standard of Britain was suspended. On the landing places and stairs were placed men in armour on pedestals, which had a very striking and pleasing effect. About 12 o'clock their Royal Highnesses the Duchesses of Cam bridge and Gloucester arrived with their attendants, and were received by the officers composing the Committee of Management, and Capt. Kerr, the Honorary Secretary of the Institution. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge was conducted to her scat by Major-General Wright, and her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester by General the lion. Sir William Lumley, G. C. 8., followed by her Grace the Duchess Dowager of Richmond, and the Ladies Patronesses, the band striking up " God save the Queen," after which dancing Immediately commenced, and was kept up with great spirit until past five o'clock. Fancy dresses of every kind and variety were to bo seen, and were in most instances remarkably well sustained. Among the company present we noticed the Nawaub of Oude, in oriental costume; his Excellency the Persian Ambassador, Hussein Khan, and his Secretary, Mirza Futty; Prince Louis Napoleon and his suite, and many Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers. The splendid band of the Ist regiment of Life Guards who were in at tendance, by the kind permission of the lion, Colonel Cavendish, were stationed in the banquetting-room, and enlivened the scene considerably. Both of the rooms were most tastefully decorated with the finest and rarest flowers and shrubs ; in fact, the whole of the splendid affair was of the most pleasing and gratifvin,, description, and reflects great cre di t on the spirited, individuals who have so humanely established the above mast praiseworthy and excellent Institution. AN "INGENIOUS DEVICE."--A "gentleman" called at a public-house i n King- street, North Shields, a few days ago, and requested to be supplied with a bottle of the best whiskey. The landlady promptly attended to the wishes of her wholesale customer, and in a twinkling the bottle was deposited in his pocket. " The money (he coolly said) he would call and pay to-rnorraw." The good dame replied, that it was not her custom to trust strangers; whercuron, with an air of offended dignity, he drew a bottle from his pocket, and returned it in a huff. The landlady, shortly after the departure of her insulted visitor, examined the battle, and found that it was filled with wat.2r During the storm which visited this part of the country on Tueday last, Mr. Richard Atnan, a cabinet maker, residing in Newland, was struck by the lightning as he sat at dinner, and deprived for a time of the use of One Fide. The sensation, he says, was similar to the rapid pas4ing through him of a red-hot iron. Extreme sickness and sinking of the pulse fliliowed, and in the course of the evening his recovery seemed doubtful. The sickness did not leave him for two or three days, and he continued very ill, but we are happy to learn that he has rallied and is likely to do well. —Northampton Mercury. ILIMINSTER—HAY HARVEST.— Flayrnaking has commenced in our neighbourhood, and the burden is generally good. —Sherborne Journal. STROMNESS, JUNE 1 0.—Tile herring fishing, this reek, has been very indifferent—the weather prevent. ing. Quality of fi.h excellent. Ifighest catch of one boat, 31 trans.—Scotsman. SINGULAR CO I NCIDENCE. —Thursday at Hat ton-garden, three individuals met in a charge, whose re spective names were Farthing, Halfpenny, and Penny; and on the previous day in a charge of assault, the two defendants, man and wife, were stone blind, the complain ant was also stone blind, and the wife of the latter had but one eye, and the assault was committed when the parties were " blind drunk." THE WEATHER.—We regret to state that the drought still continues here ( Inverness), and the present is likely to prove the driest summer we have experiaiced since 1 826. The hay crop has suffered lamentably ; indeed it is a total failure ; for even should rain now corns, it can not recove r the fields. Oats where early sown on good soils, are looking well ; where sown later in the season, they look v ery unpromising. Wheat is poor in g enera l an d scarcely covers the ground. Barley is much better. The gard course, are suffering from the d roug ht an d co ld ea ctions east win ens, of ds. the The Potato crop appears exc e ll en t i n a ll di re; plants are Corning up vigorously, and there is no prospect of a fallure.—lnverness Courier. THE WEATHER. --During th e past week we have had most delightful a n d seasonable weather. Occa sionally thunder has visited but it has been accompanied i by soft anti copious showers of rain. These, united with nner's sun, are fast bringing to genial south wind; and a Burn , Kereu maturity the fruits of the ea. th. —.Kendal ry. On Monday evening between six and seven o'clock, Warrington and the neighbourhood were visited by one of the most awful thunder storms, accompanied by ' heavy rain, that has occurred for many years past. The storm extended from Northwich and Runcorn to Barkside and the neighbourhood of Wigan. Some newly-erected cottages, the property of Mr. Ward, in Mount-street, Warrington, were considerably damaged. The electric fluid caught the chimney of - two of the houses, penetrated the ceilings, knocked out the glass, splintered the window anti doer-frames, and knocked the plaster from the walls in several places. Miss Ellen Hilsby, a milliner, residing in Coronation Build ings, Back-street, while in the act of shutting the bedroom window, was slightly struck by the ' lightning, and for a time became insensible. her lace and one of her legs were much injured ; but she is now, we are informed, doing well. The lightning first struck the spout at the cal of the buildings, then des cended the chimnics of the houses Nos. 2 and No. 4, in jured the window-frame and broke the stone chimney piece in the back-parlour of No. 4. At Belmont, the scat of James Heath Legh, Esq., near Northwich, two fine trees received considerable damage ; and the splinters of one of them, an oak, was driven several feet distant from the tree. The chimney of Mr. Lingard's house, at Runcorn, was also struck by the lightning, which entered the roof, and set fire to a bed in the room. The fire was got under without much damage. —Manchester Guardian. liounnatx,—On Tuesday evening, between six and seven o'clock, a dreadful storm of rain and thunder burst upon this town. It was so dark that people bad to light candles. The electric fluid killed a very fine cow belonging to Mr. Abraham Brearley, of West Hill, and another cow was killed at a place called Dennis Booth, a short distance from the town. The lightning also struck a man at work upon the railway, lifted him from his f ee t, an d t h rew h i m several yards ; but he re ceived n o i n j ury save the burning of his e3e-brows. Several other persons are also said to have had their hair or wLiskers burned. THE BRITISH QUEEN STEAMER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE ATHENIEUM Greenock, June 18. It is confidently expected that the day on which your next number issues, will be the same on which the British Queen will make her first trial trip on the river Clyde. On my return from the western lakes of Scot land, I paid a visit to her, as indeed most strangers do who come within twenty miles of Greenock, near to which town the Queen is moored. Every one admits that she is a very handsome vessel ; and perhaps the greatest proof of her symmetry is, that as she reposes her leviathan bulk on the level shore, she does not appear so enormous as she really is. Instead of seeming herself overgrown or gigantic, she merely renders every vessel around her of diminutive appearance, and the steam-vessel which brought us alongside seemed a perfect cockle. The external appearance of the ship, seen from the shore, is imposing and beautiful. The figure-head is a grace ful representation of the youthful monarch of Britain, so well proportioned as to seem of not more than usual height, although twelve feet in stature ; and it is only when the sturdy fellows, who form her crew, approach the Sovereign, that her Patagonian size is determined by their Liliputian dimensions. The appendages of the figure-head and cut-water are beautifully outlined, moulded, and covered with gold, and the effect of the vessel at the bow on the whole is very majestic. Pas sing round to her stern, the vessel is still very fine ; the carving of the stern is in perfect keeping with the rest of her ornamental work, and the stern galleries are elegant and well placed. The rigging is also well pro portioned ; her masts are beautiful, and her yards are of great stretch and excellent proportion. There she rides majestically, Queen of the Seas, the noblest steam ship the world has ever seen. It was only when I gained the deck of the British Queen that I became thoroughly impressed with the truth of her enormous size. The deck is what is called a flush-deck, perfectly continuous from one end to the other, instead of having higher and lower portions, forming poops, half poops, &c., as most common in vessels of her size. The deck is a long promenade, and the distance from stem to stern is a good rifle shot ; her breadth on deck being some sixty feet. Her cabins are of the dimensions of her Majesty's drawing-rooms, and the whole of her accommodation spacious, airy, and sufficiently splendid. Descending to her engine-rooms, the engine does not strike the spectator as being extraordinarily large ; but when once at the bottom of it, looking up, you perceive the men who guide the whole machinery, and regulate and direct the combined strength and simultaneous energy of 500 horses, with greater suc cess than the tyrant Philopater his galley of 3,000 slave-power, and feel that you are in the presence of one of the noblest of human creations, the impersonatio❑ of the adage, that " knowledge is power" —power applied to the benefit and improvement of humanity. The engine is of the Gothic structure, some thirty feet high, occupying a length of eighty-four feet, and weighing with its appendages about 500 tons. It does great cre dit to the engineering talent of the River Clyde ; and although its appearance is rendered somewhat heavy by the fact of having two condensers instead of one, it is otherwise strong, light looking, and well proportioned. The whole river Clyde is, indeed, at this moment, a scene replete with interest to the man who is in terested in the progress of steam navigation. We were shown a large ship called the Achilles, of about 1,000 tons, floating in the basin of a Mr. Steele, at Greenock, which is to contain engines of about the size of the British Queen, and which we were also shown in the establishment of Messrs. Laird and Co. The Achilles is a noble and symmetrical vessel, rising to a great height out of the water, yet standing as stiff as a castle ; and her engines are framed in a colonnade of eight Grecian-Doric columns of gigantic proportions, carrying an entablature which connects the two engines with- much elegance. I should have imagined that this vessel was designed to cross the At lantic or Indian Oceans, at least ; but, to my astonish ment, I found her merely built as one of the magnifi cent line of packets between Liverpool, Greenock, and Glasgow, to ply in concert with almost equally fine ves sels called the Actaeon, Eagle, Commodore, &c.,—ves sels so large that the dock-gates of Liverpool (to their shame be it said) cannot admit the largest, and barely the others. Tue Achilles will form a most interesting experiment in regard to power. The proportion of 500 horses power to 1,000 tons, is a proportion utsequalled in the world, and will decide some important questions of general interest. There is another experiment of equal interest at present in progress in the Clyde. The Fire King is a vessel of very peculiar construction, built for Mr. Ashton Smith, of Wales, as a steam . yacht. The midship s ec ti on o f t h e vessel is very peculiar, being a plan of Mr. Smith's invention ; and the water lines adopted are those of which 3ou have repeatedly given diagrams, in your accounts of the British Asso ciation, as having been proposed by Mr. Scott Russell, to admit of the vessel's passing through the water with least resistance. This experiment is the fourth which has been made avowedly upon this form of water line, the two first having been made by Mr. Russell himself :in 1834-35. This is the largest yet tried, the vessel being 660 tons, and the engines '220 horse power ; and although the proportional power is much less than what we find to be in general use on the Clyde, yet this singular vessel is now the fastest vessel afloat. We were told by a gentleman who was on board at one of her trials, and who had previously been prejudiced against her shape, that she performed, with out having set a stitch of canvas, the measured distance, in rather fresh weather, of 15 2-ods miles in 64 minutes, being about 15 miles an hour through the water. And the same vessel has since gone from Liverpool to Greenock, and from Grenock to Liverpool, each way in less than fifteen hours, each way with out canvas, in fresh blowing weather, being about a rate of 15 miles an hour. This vessel we saw lying alongside the British Queen ; and although she seemed very diminutive in comparison, yet she appears elegantly shaped ; and the part of her above water has the form of an excellent sea-boat. We were told that she has also a great capacity for carrying cargo, and would have been repeatedly bought as a merchant steamer, had not the owner wished to retain her as a yacht. We were also shown a large steam ship at Greenock for the India Steam Navigation Company, by the Cape of Good Hope ; and several large steam frigates, now fitting up for Government ; besides preparations for large steam ships for the Halifax and London mail communication : but ' must not extend further the notice of these prepara- lons. From the inquiries we have made, it would appear that on the eventful night in ques'ion no less than eleven lives have been sacrificed from boats having been upset, viz., one containing Mr. Graham ; one containing Mr. Rush, Mr. Fry, and Mr. Latham ; a third boat, containing four persons, named Croker, Wilkins, Roberts, and George ; and a fourth b o at, conta i n i ng M r. Heath, a clerk in the County Fire Office, Mr. Barthe, jun., umbrella manufacturer, Cockspur-street, Mr. Lambe, jun., dressing-case maker, Cockspur-street, Mr. William Bruce, baker, No. 27, Charing- cross, Mr. Woolley, ironmonger, 19, Piccadilly, and Mr. Griffiths, a gentleman connected with the Coal Exchange, residing, at Pimlico, the four latter of whom were drowned. It appears that the last six gentlemen had often been in the habit of rowing up the river. On Thursday evening, there being a cricket match at Putney, Messrs. Barthe, Woolley and Lambe, rowed up ran-clan in a wherry to Putney, where they met the other three gentlemen, a n d th at on t h e i r return Messrs. Barthe and Woolley rowed sculls, Messrs. Heath, Lambe, and Bruce sitting on the thwarts, while Mr. Griffiths sat in the stern They left Putney about ten o'clock, and came down the river in safety until they . shot Battersea bridge, when Mr. Griffiths cried out they were sinking, and at the same time, owing to the high wind and strong current, they were overwhelmed by a wave, which instantly swamped the boat. Yesterday morning, shortly after three o'clock, as Cobb. a wwerman, of Putney, was proceeding up the river in his boat, he perceived the body of one of the sufferers lying!: ip the mud, off Cheyne-walk. He immediately procured as. sistance, and conveyed the body ashore, and d epos i te d i t i n the outhou se o f t h e Old Swan 'Tavern, where it was shorty, recognised as th a t o f .V..r. Lambe. Th e b o d y o f t h e de ceased was very disfigured, particularly the face, and tin upper lip was much swollen as if from a blow. On it was found a gold watchguard, but no watch ; and in the pockets was 4s. 61. in silver, a .::acintesh being closely wrapped round the body. Information of the finding of the hod) was immediately forwarded to the parochial authorities, and to Mr. Wakley, the Coroner, and during the day nu tnerous persons were engaged in searching for the remainder of the bodies; but up to a rate hour on Saturday night, no in telligence bad been received of their discovery. INQUEST ON TWO OF THE BODIES. Yes:erday, at eleven o'clock, two inquests were held at the Red-houae, Battersea, before Mr. Carter, coroner for Surrey, on the respective bodies of Mr. Henry Rush, aged 26, of No. 6. South Panicle, Little Chelsea, Solicitor, and second son of the Rev. John Rush, vicar of Chelsea Old Church; and of Mr. George Joseph Graham, aged 25, a clerk in the Ordnance Office in the Tower, who were unfortunately drowned in the Thames on Thursday night. Thomas Clifford, an unloader of barges, livins , at Bat tersea, stated that about half-past three on Friday morn in,, ,, , he was proceeding to his wcrk along the bank of the Thames, and had got half way between the Red House and Nine Elms, when he saw the deceased, Henry Rush, lying in the mud near the water's edge ; he was on his face, and held in his hands a scull. Witness called to a Waterman, and they together carried the deceased to this house; he was quite dead, and there was no perceptible marks of violence on his body. The deceased had only his trowsers, boots, and shirts on. On his person he found a watch, two rings, and I Is. in silver. William Seymour, a bricklayer living at Queen's Elms, Chelsea, identified the body of the deceased as that of Mr. William Henry Rush, a solicitor, residing at No. 6, South parade, Little Chelsea. He was twenty-six years of age. Mr. Henry Latham, of No, 14, Hunter -street, Bruns wick-square, clerk to the Registrars of the Court of Chan cery, stated that he was acquainted with the deceased. On Thursday evening, at seven o'clock, witness, the de ceased, and a gentleman named Robert Walker Fry, started from Graves', the boat-builder, at Chelsea, in what is termed a r an -d an , an d rowe d up the River. They stopped first at the Crab Tree, Hammersmith, and afterwards proceeded to the Red Lion, Chiswick, where they staid till nine o'clock, when they started to return. At that time witness was positive all were sober ; the deceased took the sculls, and Fry the after oar; witness the forward. They had passed through Battersea-bridge about forty yards, nearly in the middle of the river, when a wave broke over them, nearly filling the boat. The wind was high, and the water extremely rough —wave after wave broke over the boat until it went down. There was scarce any cry raised, and witness told the deceased Rush, to take hold of an oar which witness held, and he did; wit ness had nearly reached the shore when he felt the oar lightened, and upon turnips , round he found that the deceased had sunk. When witness had reached the shore he turned round, and saw a dark mass floating down the river, but it disappearad almost immedi ately; he had no doubt it was the deceased. The deceased Fry, whose body has not been found, immediately upon the boat sinking, struck out for the Middlesex shore, and being an excellent swimmer, witness thought he would have reached it. The swell of' the water was caused purely by the wind and tide, and not by a steam-boat. The time the occurrence took place was about eleven o'clock, wit ness's watch having stopped at five minutes to eleven. This being the whole of the evidence concerning the de ceased, Henry Rush, the Coroner, addressing the Jury, said no doubt could be entertained that the deceased's death was attributab!e to accident. The Jury returned a verdict of" Accidental death." The Jury then proceeded to view the body of George Joseph Graham, and after their return the following evi dence was adduced : George Reeves, fisherman, stated that he was following his occupation, about three o'clock on Friday morning when he observed some substance lying on the bank. Wit ness went to see what it was, and found it to be the body of the deceased; he was quite dead. Witness brought the body to this house. The body of the deceased, Henry Rush, had been found nearly at the same time and place, and witness brought them both in his boat. The deceased had on trousers, hoots, flannel shirt, and pea jacket, and on his person he found two rings, a gold watch and chain, which had stopped at seventeen minutes past ten, and 17s. in silver; there were no papers, nor did witness know the the deceased, or how he came into the water. Mr. Allan Bailey, of No. 9, Arlington-street, Camden town, architect, deposed that be knew the deceased ; he was not with him at tho time the accident occurred, but they were together at Putney, from which place the de ceased left at nine o'clock in a very light wherry. He was alone, and going to Westminster ; but it coming on to rain the deceased moored his boat under a tree, as also did witness, who was in another boat. They remained there about three quarters of an hour, when deceased went ahead ; and when witness had got near Battersea Church he saw the deceased going through the bridge, which was at least two hundred yards distance from witness, who never saw him alive afterwards. He proceeded into Lyon's Wharf, Lambeth, and there waited fur the deceased, and was surprised lie did not come. The wind was blowing strong, N. by E., and the tide was going up. Witness is positive that if the deceased went through the middle of the river his boat could not have lived. About a quarter to twelve o'clock some men brought in the boat, which they had found capsized, and some clothes of the deceased. A gentleman named Walker afterwards came in, who said he had seen a person, who, from his description, witness believes to have been deceased, sink about midway between Battersea and Vauxhall bridges. The deceased was sober at the time, and an experienced amateur waterman. By the CORONER —I've no doubt the deceased lost his life from the upsetting of his boat, which was caused by the heavy swell. _ Witness heard that the deceased had been found at seven o'clock on Friday morning, at Lyon's. The deceased was 25 years of age, and a clerk in the Ordnance -office at the Tower. The Jury returned a similar verdict in this case. CHURCH RATES. BUNGAY, ST. MARY'S. On Wednesday last, a Vestry was held to make a Church•rate, and the Chair was taken by Archdeacon Glover, attended by the Rev. Mr. Cookcsley, who has succeded Mr. Cobb as Curate. Mr. MANN, Churchwarden, asked for a twopenny rate, which was moved by Robert Butcher, Justice of the Peace, and seconded by Mr. William Dybale, Chief Constable. Mr. CHARLES CHILDS said, although he could not hope to influence theproceedings of the Vestry, he would not suffer the motion to pass without a protest. He begged to remind the meeting, that a rate had never been made without the unanimous profession of a desire that the law were altered, and the present mode was defended by the simple phrase, " It is law." But it was to be remarked, that although this plea might be urged by Churchwardens for collecting a rate already laid, there was no such justification for making a rate. There was no law to compel the Churchwar dens to ask for one—no legal necessity for the Vestry to grant it—they were not forbidden by law to subscribe the required sum, nor would law prevent its application to the cost of maintaining their Church. It was the voluntary act of the Vestry which could alone call the law into existence ; and little value must be attached to a profession which they so directly and practically falsified. Ile would point with satisfaction to their on n recognition of the principle he contended for ; they had at their own voluntary cost fitted up the Church, with gas-lamps, and lighted it for evening service ; nay, on the very . accounts of the Church,:ardens appeared yearly an item of 91. f or ma i nta i n i ng the choir, and a similar sum credited as collected by subscription. This was the precedent which he now called on them to fol low, and before they left that room, to subscribe the 401., a sum which the Dissenters, with not a tithe of their wealth, would at any moment raise for their own religious purposes. He did not venture to argue the question in this place on the grounds of right and justice, but confined his appeal to the professions they had themselves made, and the principles they had partially adopted. He would further warn them that for a trumpery 401. they were renewing a con test in which acrimonious and unncighbourly feel ing were sure to be excited, and which he had earnestly hoped the presence of a new resident clergy man would have been the occasion of declining. He wished finally to beg, that if proceedings should be taken against him to recover this rate (which he assured them was an invalid one), no hard words might be used at his employing law to resist a demand founded exclu sively on law. Archdeacon GLOVER said the sum of this was, that Mr. Childs wished the parish to adopt the voluntary principle. If they were prepared to adopt this—the begging box, which he was not, they would refuse a rate—otherwise, they would grant one ; and he thought ithis quit e cons i stent with a desire to have the law altered. He begged to ask whether Mr. Childs or his family had not a pew in the Church ? Mr. C ri mes —Certainly not! Archdeacon GLovErt—l understand a lady occupies your pew. Mr. CHlLDS—Application was made to me for per mission to occupy " my pew ;" and in order to guard against all possible misconstruction, I replied that if a pew were appropriated to the, house I rent, I would not recognize any property in the church, or title to the pew, by giving either a refusal or permission for its occupation. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 24, 1839 Archdeacon GLOVER—But you hare the property and ought to pay for it. Mr. CHILDS—If the Methodists should notify to you, sir, that they had apportioned a pew to your use in their chapel, and required your share of their expenses, you would probably understand better the bearings of the question. Mr. COOKESLEY—But, Mr. Childs, you have a right to the pew, although you may not use it. Mr. CIIILDS-I may, Sir, have a freehold in the moon, but as I neither recognise nor use it, I am not willing to pay rates for it. The rate was then granted, and on the assessment being passed round for signature, Mr. C. Childs stated that he must then exercise his right of carefully examin ing it, unless the Churchwardens would pledge them selves to allow him hereafter to examine it at reasonable times. This had been refused last year, most impro perly and illegally. Mr. W. Cocx (a parishioner) —Ho w do you suppose a rate would ever be collected, if every one had a right to examine it 2 Mr. C. CHlLDS—Exactly as the poor-rate is collected, which the overseers arc bound, under a M. penalty, to allow every parishioner to inspect as long and as often as be will. Mr. COOKESLEY-But would you, Mr. Childs, have paid the rate, had you been allowed to see it ? Mr. CHlLDS—Certainly not, Sir ; but I should have defeated it with greater facility. Ultimately the required pledge was given, and the Vestry was dissolved. _ - ENTABLE ACCIDENT OA THE THAMES. (From the During Friday and yesterday the greatest excitement has prevailed at the west end of the metropolis in conse quence of several accidents having occurred on the river Thames on the night of Thursday last, in which it is as serted no less than eleven individuals have lost their lives. From inquiries made by our reporter, we understand that, shortly after I I o'clock on Thursday night, loud cries for " Help !" being heard by the watermen residing at Chels:a Reach, one named Waight, accompanied by another per son, immediately put off in a boat, and on rowing into the centre of the stream, below Battersea-bridge, found a wherry bottom upwards, and two persons clinging to it, whom they instantly conveyed to the Magpie public house, where they stated their names to be Heath and Barthe. They had not, however, been long rescued before fresh cries of " Help I" were heard proceeding from the direction of the Red House and on Waight and other persons again taking to their boats, they saw a gentleman struggling and buffetting with the stream, who ultimately got on shore on the Surrey side They immediately pulled in after him, and conveyed him to the Red House Tavern, where, when sufficiently re covered, he stated that hia name was Latham, and that he had been up the river in the early part of the evening in a wherry with Mr. Henry Rush, son of the Rev. John Rush, vicar of Chelsea Old Church, and Mr. R. W. Fry of the Chancery Register Office, and son of George Fry, Esq., of St. James's-place, St. James's -street, residing at Notting-hill, both of whom he had every rea son to believe were drowned. A number of men were in con sequence employed from daylight on Friday morning in drag ging that portion of the river, when about three o'clock the body of a gentleman named Graham, belonging to the Ordnance Office, who had also been drowned, was picked up near the Red House, as was shortly afterwaids that of Mr. Rush, both of which were conveyed to that tavern.

In 1830 they sought it in the hospitals, next in the streets, later in the churches ; their theatre is now the exhibi tion of the produce of French industry. For a month past the family have made many more visits than purchases there, and issued many more compliments than orders. Their enormous expenditure of praise and admiration has the advantage of not ruining the civil list. The exhibitors are overwhelmed with every species of civility, courtesy, blandishment, and fascination. This has given rise to a Court adventure which is worth recording. In one of the last visits of the d'Orleans family to the Champs Elysees Galleries, the name of an an exhibitor of Lyons or the neighbour hood, inscribed on a stall, struck one of the Royal visitors, who most graciously asked a young person who kept the shop whether she was related to N--, the member of the National Convention. The girl blushed and vowed that he was her grandfather. "I am glad of of it," replied the august inquirer, " I knew him well in my younger days. My father bore him great affec tion. Methinks I see him coming to dine at the Palais Royal, with his hair dressed a ailes de pigeOn and pow dered snow white, his blue coat, with large facings, and his waistcoat with a little fringe. I should be happy to be useful to his granddaughter. Come, my dear child, to the Tuileries. Bring some articles of your manufacture. I wish to do something for you." The poor girl had never known her grandpapa, and was not sorry to hear his person described ; but to en hance the interest evinced toward her family, she had the idea of buying at a vender of curiosities on the Quai Voltaire a miniature which should represent a gentleman with ailes de pigeon, a blue coat with large facings, and the finishing waistcoat in fashion in 1793 ; in short she went, in quest of a grandf.ither. She found a medallion uniting all these requisites ; she had it mounted as a brooch, and failed not to deck herself with it in her visit to the palace. The medallion, which was prodigiously large and conspicuous, attracted every body's notice ; the young lady proudly exhibited it to all who wished to see it, as being the portrait of a man who had been honoured with the particular friendship of a Prince of the blood, and was also a member of the Con vention. It was quite an event, from the Pavillion de Fiore to the Pavillion de Marsan ; but, alas! the delight and success of the illustrious N--'s grand-daughter were not of long duration. An august personage wished to look at the picture of his father's respected friend ; he glanced at it, frowned, coldly returned it, and turned his back upon the poor child, who had, unawares, bought the portrait of Robespiere.—Paris Print. SA LMON FISH I NO.—Thedryness of the weather has affected the salmon fishings ; the want of fresh water operates in preventing the fish from exchanging the frith fur the rivers. Tho Beatily has hitherto been pretty pro ductive, but is falling off, owing to the low state of the stream.—lnverness Courier. Mr. Fell, one of Major. General Wyndhatn's farmers, who resides at Castle-gate Hcad, Cockermouth, has a quantity of winter oats in full ear, and a particularly fine crop. This is considered a very remarkable circum stance in this backward country at to early a period of the season. EVENING EDITION. NEW YORK.

Some parts of Derbyshire and of Dew"' shire have suffered slightly from the storm. In shOrt, the range of this storm appears to have been extensity, and not a little destructive in its operation to property and animals. We have not heard that any human lives have been lost.

ISLE OF SKYE.—The following occurrence took place last week on the farm of Lonfcrn, in the Government parish of Steinscholl in SkJe. A girl 0 ' about twelve years of age left home with a creel for the purpose of carrying from the moss the fill of it in peats for the use of the family. When sne did not make her AP' pearance after the lapse of the time usually spent in going to fuel, her parents got alarmed about her, and went to wards the moss to ascertain what caused her delay, no' whiCh they found her literally strangled by the creel. The creel is carried on the back, and is supported by a belt passing over the breast. The poor unfortunate girl had placed the creel with its complement of fuel on a smal l rock to rest herself; when, owing to the weight of it being too much for the bearer, it must have slipped off the rock, and tightened the belt so firmly about her neck, that she w..s unable to dis en t ang l e h erse lf .

CANALS IN THE UNITED STATES. The principal Canals are in the United States of New York, Pennsylvania, .and Ohio. The following account of them is taken from an article in the last number of the Railway _Magazine, drawn up, we be lieve, from documents published by the American Government. It will be seen that in Pennsylvania and New York two thirds of the whole lines have been constructed by the respective States, and not one third by private individuals OHIO. This State in the year 1788 was a wilderness and the tract of land on which Cincinatti now stands Ras sold forforly-nine dollars. It is now a handsome city of 50.000 inhabitants. The State in 1800 had 45,365 souls; and was admitted into the Union in 1802 ; in 1810 it had 230,760 do. ; 1820, 581,434 do. ; 1830, 937,903 do. ; and when the census be taken next year (1840), it is sup posed the State will number over a million and a halt of souls. Canals :—Ohio and Miami Canals, which, with their branches, make more than 400 miles long, viz., the Ohio Canal extends from Portsmouth on the Ohio river to Cleveland, on Lake Erie, 307 miles long, and finished 1832; summit level is 305 feet above Lake Erie, 499 fret above the Ohio at Portsmouth, and 973 feet above the Atlantic Ocean. It has 152 locks, and 12,000 feet of lockage, and passes 13 towns. 3. 833 miles of internal improvement in the State of New York. -.

The following foul and malignantly mendacious statemen., put forth by the Manchester Courier, proves how little scrupulous are some of Mother Church's sons in their at tempted attainment of their unhallowed objects :—" We feel it a duty we owe to Protestant parents to warn them against the treacherous designs of a number of Jesuits, who are employed in various parts of the town in persuad ing the poorer class of Protestants to send their chiliren to Popish schools, where their young and susceptible mi n d s are poisoned by th e i n f us i on o f th e rank and pernicious dogmas of that blasphemous heresy, and are taught not only to despise the Catholic principles which their fore fathers so nobly fought to secure for them, but to perse cute even their nearest relatives and dearest friends. Every artifice which even Popery is capable of concocting is re sorted to for the accomplishment of this infamous fraud ; and, while we assure our readers of the authenticity of this statement, we request them to be on their guard against this soul-destroying gang. Another trap which the same parties have just set to catch the unwrry and unsuspecting Protestant is, to * get up a discussion between two Papists (one of them protesting to be a Protestant), and by the grossest misrepresentation of Protestant doctrine, as well as the concealing of the more hideous and diabolical fea tures of Popery, to mislead and ensnare their prey. We trust that those whose business it is to watch the interests of the Catholic Church of England will be more on the alert, and detect and bring these apostates to the light." The first number of a periodical paper was issued at Heywood, on Thursday the 6th instant, con taining two articles, the one entitled " An Address to the Friends of Liberty," and signed Thomas Grinishaw ; the other " The Convention," and signed Jub Plant. Both these individuals have become conspicuous in that neighbourhood as Chartist agitators; but it ap pears, that they now found out their mistake. Grim shaw complains that the " money-hunting Radicals at Bury wish to crush him as an individual, because lie will not acquiesce in the corrupt and sinister motive of pro fessing friends to liberty, or the procrastinating, tergi versating, and pusillanimous proceedings of the National Convention." Job Plant is still more angry at his former Chartist associates, and calls them " knaves, nho are socking their individual advantage, and unworthy of the people's confidence." He divides his subject into three heads—" the character of the Delegates—the trust reposed in them—and, lastly, their conduct and measures." He says. " When the Delegates first met in London, they had a public dinner; they broke up at eleven o'clock tit night; and, after that, there was drinking and dancing till a late hour in the morning, whilst those who sent them were literally starving. Such conduct developes the dissolute and reckless character of men who could thus wanton in the life's blood of the people. It is mani fest that the selfish part of the Convention were nu merous, hence their horse-leech cry " Give I give !" to the national rent. Who but greedy men could waste the people's money by riding in cabs through London streets to public meetings, and call for liberal supplies, in ad- dltion to liberal pay when agitating? The cockney squad Trinity M - 1 bthe would have wasted the funds of the Convention in one month, and the Birmingham men, and some ' fra ' beyond i the Tweed, were no better."
