AT a MEETING of the ELECTORS ofC CITY of LONDON, held at the Guildhall, on Monday, 15th December, 1845, the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR in the Chair, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : On the motion got JOHN DILLON, Esq., seconded by RALPH RI- cARDO, Esq.— let. " That the principle of protection in commerce is unsound; false in theory and in practice; delusive to the classes who seek pro tection ; and incurious to the community at large. That the great practical rule of leaving all commerce unfettered, applies more pecu liarly', and on still stronger grounds, ofjustice as well as policy, to the trade in corn, and in all articles whatsoever which form the food of the people, than to any other trade." - - - On tile motion of J. MALTBY RoistmsoN, Esq., seconded by MILLER CHRISTY, Esq.- 2d. " That the protective law, commonly called the corn-law, has in this country wholly failed in either benefiting the agriculturists, or in providing for the wants and protecting the interests of the com munity. That it has engendered strife among classes at home, and provoked against us hostility and retaliation abroad. That It has neither secured the promised stability in price, nor regularity in supply. That it has neither made us independent of foreign supply, nor provided for against the recurrence of scarcity and famine. That the sliding-scale particularly has added the risks of chance and the spirit of gambling to the common Imgularities of trade and the uncertainty of the season. That this law, whilst it has altogether tailed in realising the advantages promised by its supporters, has brought upon us all, and more than all, the evils predicted by those who were opposed to its introduction." Oa the motion of CHARLES PERKINS, Esq.. seconded by WIL- ILIABL HAWES, Esq.- 3d. " That looking to the present political, commercial, and!econo. mical state of this country, it is indispensable (as part of a more liberal and enlightened system of policy) that the present corn-law, and all laws which levy a tax upon the food of the great mass of the people, should be immediately repealed." On the motion of P. A. TAYLOR, Esq., seconded by Dr. BOWSING, 4th. " That our four representatives be requested and instructed to support such repeal in the Commons House of Parliament." On the motion of W. WessAv, Esq., seconded by JOHN DILLON, Esq.— sth. " That the cordial thanks of ihis - mecting be given to the Right don. the Lord Mayor for his kindness in calling this meeting, and for his ability and impartiality in presiding at the same." NORFOLKRAILWAY.-GOODS TRAFFIC. The Directors respectfully give notice to the public that the goods trains are now running.

The Committee of Management have much satisfaction in informing the Shareholders that, notwithstanding the late period at which this Company was formed, they have been enabled to comply with the standing orders of Parliament, and to deposit in proper time the Plans, Sections, and Books of Reference at the Board of Trade, and with the respective Clerks of the Peace in the several counties through which it is proposed this railway shall pass. The requisite notices to owners and occupiers are now in course of active preparation. The Committee have additional pleasure in assuring the Share holders that the great care and indefatigable industry bestow. d on the preparation of these documents will enable them to stand the test of the strictest scrutiny betbre Parliament, and in the end fully sus• tain the high position which this Company has attained. The Committee are now actively engaged in taking all further steps necessary for effectually carrying out this important undertaking. The resolutions to support it, ado:,ted at public meetings recently held in the city of Wells, at Shepton Mallet, and elsewhere, and the great local support promised by the landowners on the line, as well as the negotiations now pending towards amalgamations between this Company and ether powerful and influential Companies, afford the strongest grounds for believing that their exertions for obtaining the consent of Parliament hi the approaching session will be crowned with complete success.

GREAT ANTI - CORN - LAW MEETING. On Thursday night, a numerous and highly influential meeting of the citizens of Glasgow was held in the City Hall, Candleriggs, called by the Hon. the Lord Provost, in obedience to a numerously-signed requisition, for the purpose of considering the propriety of petitioning Par liament to repeal the corn and provision laws, and of memorialising Sir Robert Peel to take immediate mea sures for obtaining an Order in Council fur opening the ports for the admission of grain and other provisions tree of duty. The immense hall was crowded to over flowing, and there could not be fewer than between 4,000 and 5,000 individuals present. Hundreds left the doors unable to gain admission. We observed on the platform the following gentle- I men :—The Hon. the Members for the city, Messrs. Os wald and Dennistoun, the Hon. the Lord Provost, Bailie Anderson, Bailie Whitehead, Bailie Brodie, Bailie M•Kinlay, and Bailie Stewart, Professor Win. Thomson, of the University of Glasgow, the Rev. Dr. Kidaton, Rev. Dr. King, Rev. Dr. M•Far!ane of Erskine Church, Rev. Mr. M'Ewan, Alexander Graham, Esq., Walter Buchanan, Esq., James Turner, Esq., of Thrushgrove, John Hamilton, Esq., J o h n Wil son , Esq., of Dundyvan, R ,bert. Bartholomew, Esq., John Tennant, Esq. Charles Tennant, Esq , J. R o b ertson , E sq ., Willi a m Mills, Esq., Robert Hutcheson, Esq., &c, &c. On the Committee and requisitionists making their appearance on the plat form, they were greeted with loud cheering. ALEX. GRAHAM, Esq., in a few remarks, referring to the important service which the Lord Provost had for a lengthened period, both in his private and official capa city, rendered to the cause of tree-trade, proposed that his Lordship be requested to take the chair. The LORD PROVOST, on taking the chair, expressed the pleasure which he fell at laing eaTled upon to preside at the meeting. He denounced the corn-laws as being injurious to every class of the community, and read an extract from an old document of the Town Council of Glasgow, dated 1791, to show that at that period, when it was proposed to introduce a corn-law, the members held it to be unwise and it:expedient. His Lordship then introduced The Rev. Dr. KING, who being received with loud cheers, moved the adoption of the first resolution, to the effect that it is the opinion of the meeting that the prospects of the country are calculated to excite well grounded apprehensions, and under these circumstances, it is the opinion of the meeting that it is the boupden duty of the Government, to respond to the unanimous voice of the country, by issuing an order to opea the ports for the immediate admission of food from all quar ters, duty free. Mr. OSWALD, M.P., rose to second the resolution pro posed by Dr. King, and was received with loud cheering. He said—My Lord rrovost and Gentlemen, I am happy and proud of the opportunity of congratulating you on the appearance of this magnificent assemblage, and this city because of such a meeting taking place.—(Cheers.) While you thus muster in thousands and demonstrate your opposition to monopoly, do not forget that the battle is not altogther won. I believe there is not the slightest doubt that Sir Robert Peel, and the whole of the Administration, have placed in her Majesty's hands their resignation. I believe also that Lord John Russell has her Majesty's command to form a new Administration ; but it will depend greatly upon meetings like this, and the spirit of the people at large, whether or not Lord John Russell, or any other person, can repeal bad, and carry out good laws for the benefit of the entire people.—(Cheers.) You may be called upon to support him, and those who support him will not need to he backward in the contest, for believe me, the monopolists in the House of Commons, and throughout the country at large, will not tamely submit to give up their present privileges without a struggle, and nothing would delight them so much as that any new Ad , ministration formed should be thrown out, and Sir Robert Peel called back again to office. But if the people come forward throughout the country, as Glasgow has done to-night, you need be in no fear as, to the result of the struggle. While, however, you go on in your exertions, never lose sight of this, that the corn laws, from first to last, were enucted and have for their object to make rents higher than they otherwise would have been, or ought to be, and they call never give up that under any circumstances, unless a very great pre p mdetating interest in the country tells them that these laws must be abolished, and if once abolished, I promise you we will never hear anything more about them.— (Cheers.) Never relax in your exertions ; be unani mous ; you have the ball at your foot ; go on, and I hope you a be successful. The Hon. Memer resumed his seat amid loud cheering, during which the resolution was put from the chair, arid carried by acclamation. Mr. WALTER BUCHANAN. amid loud cheers, proposed the next resolution :—" That, in the opinion of this meeting, there can be no security ierainst the frequent and periodical returns of scarcity, excepting in the total repeal of the corn and prevision laws. The experience of the list ten years has fully demonstrated that the prosperity of the country depends on low prices of food, while high prices have uniformly produced stagnation in manufactures and commerce, loss of capital, redue tion of the wages of labour, and, as a necessary conse- quence, the degradation of the physical and moral condi tion of the people. For these evils there is no remedy, while laws exist which produce artificial scarcity, and nothing short of their total repeal will insure the peace and prosperity of the country, or afford contentment to her Majesty's subjects." Mr. DEratisToux, M.P., in rising to second the reso lution,e tonigt ho t s l .d a i d alo — st ns su l or expectedhaing ehehappened,oaf u secrecy—an morrteihetaayykt: before a aa nn grand r olae s; f ct n eg s L a it lv t h i nia o ndt n go h n was till hr strongest arrived in Scotland I would not mention the fact—that Sir Rsfsooebornetiruht fortunate tr e em e l ht ao l ij i t a e f t i sotry re , r c s resignedS cotland.t s h aA i it % s lo e seals vo jeu o og f mhhn o et ffi f rRI c o, eun from into khi t i snah making hmb s eao s en p sndt eech at the meeting to bt held in Glasgow. The re sult has been, however, that you had the news twenty four hours before I arrived. But the question is, how is this question to be settled? However much it is our interest to have this question settled, it is also the interest of the aristocracy themselves that it should be no longer delayed. Because I can see that there is a feeling which is growing up in the minds of the operative, and the manufacturing, and the commercial classes, of deadly hatred towards that class, and if it is allowed to go on, there is no saying where it may end. Therefore, it behoves those in power to put an end to this feeling, and to do sway with these most odious laws. Mr. Cobden, at a meeting which he lately addressed, said we must be aware lest Sir Robert Peel, in giving us the corn law, require a compensation. Compensation, indeed ! Who ever heard of robbers getting compensation from those whom they had plundered ? If there is to be any compensation going, it is us who ought to get it. The whole fee sample of the land in this country would not be a sufficient compe nsa tion for the fifty years that they have b een plundering us. Now, my Lord, there is no doubt but the Duke of Wellington may sue • ceed, but I venture to prophecy that it will be but for a season, and that, by the zealous co •operation of all classes, these laws —every shred and patch of them—shall be torn from his reluctant grasp by the unanimous declaration of an indignant people.—(Great applause.) The meeting was also addressed by Professor W. Thomson and Sir J. Higginbotham, and a memorial to Sir R.

Colonel Barnett received an express shortly after his death, with a request to send out and bring the body to Cairo, An autopsy was held on the body by Dr. Ab bott, and it appears he died of an apoplectic fit.

CseesTexueoems, Nov. 27.—The principal intelli gence I have to-day to send you is, that Russia has at last entered into a new commercial treaty with the Porte, which will place her in the same commercial eelations with this country as the other nations of Europe. This measure so long urged, especially by Great Britain, on the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh, and so long delayed, has certainly been very reluctantly adopted. Since 1839, when England and other western states trading with the Otto man empire formed their present common treaty of com merce, for so their separate treaties may be called, with the Porte, it has been a constant complaint against Rus sia that she has refused to trade with this country on the same terms as other nations. It is perhaps necessary to remind your readers that the commercial treaty of 1839, alluded to, was framed for the express purpose of putting an end to a system of trade which was alike injurious to the foreign and the native merchant, and to the general consumer. 'Up to the date just named, many of the most important objects of commerce in Turkey could not be brought into the market for foreign importation without a firman from the Turkish Government. This firman was sold to certain merchants for a sum a good deal under the value of the merchandise they, by virtue of the firman, became pos sessed of. The merchandise, corn or wool, or whatever it might be, was then sold again, and a third time, perhaps, before it came fairly into the public mart. And by this means a very large revenue was secured to the Porte, and the most vicious monopolies were established. In the interior provinces of Turkey especially, this system was found to be most vexa tious, ruinously to the disadvantage of the fair, unprotected trader, whilst it enriched enormously fa voured individuals. The public revenue, however, ac cruing therefrom could not be dispensed with till some other source of revenue should be opened. England, therefore, and other nations agreed with the Porte that, on the condition of these firman monopolies being abolished, the import duties on foreign merchandise and the expert duties on the home produce and manufactures of this country should be considerably augmented. The tariff was accordingly raised to 5 per cent. for imports, and to 12 per cent. (altogether) for exports. By this arrangement all parties were great gainers. By the suppression of monopolies the commerce of Turkey with foreign nations has, within the last few years, been much increased. But Russia refused from the beginning to adopt the new arrangement, and by so doing she set all fairness at defiance, as she necessarily partook of all the advantages which England and other States had been glad to purchase at a heavy cost. The tariff to which Russian trade till now has been subject in this country has only been 3 per cent. for import _duties and 5 per cent. for exports. She has thus for several years enjoyed here immense cote mereiel privileges, which she has had all to herself, and of course Russian merchants have thriven, in what ever part of the Ottoman empire they have opened busi ness, above those of any other nation. These advan tages are not, however, to be relinquished. After a long negotiation of two years the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh has consented to be placed on the same commercial foot ing with the Porte as other foreign States. The Eng lish and French merchants here naturally rejoice much in this event ; the more so as they had fully persuaded themselves that it would never be brought to pass. Another event, which may turn out to be of much greater importance still, I have now to mention to you. Three railroad companies—one in England, one in Belgium, and one in Sardinia—have made proposals to the Ottoman Government to undertake, on their own I risk and responsibility, lines of railroad in Turkey, on the condition, of course, of possessing a secure right of property in the enterprise—a right of a sort which no European has ever yet been suffered to hold in this empire. The Porte, lam informed, is now entertaining these proposals with a very good will to close at least with one of them ; and as Reschid Paella will now be at the head of affairs here, one may feel pretty sure that Turkish bigotry against European innovations and improvements will not be allowed to hinder the fair con sideration of a project which looks so full of promise of progress for the country. It is certainly too soon to an ticipate the consequences of such a project, yet so preg nant with mighty consequences must it be, should it ever be realised, that it is difficult not to look forward to them. One word only, however, I will say thereupon; viz., that frequency cf communication and intercourse between different parts of this empire, or between any two of its distant and important sites, seems the only possible means of rousing its inhabitants into a sense of their being not scattered like communities, or rather mere groups of individuals—but a people; and that as the people, or popular liberties in other countries have produced all the great mechanical inventions of the present age in the west, so the introduction ' . of the greatest of these inventions into the east would in its turn produce a people—would, if anything could, give a public life and will, a consciousness of aggregate national existence to numerous populations which at present exist in utter disconnexion, simply as loose crowds, inhabiting the same place. Au reste, not to dwell on a view which may seem to you unfit for a letter, all are agreed that the first want of this empire is the want of roads. Instead of roads, then, to give railroads would be making a giant stride in advance. And as to the practicability of the thing, I have the opinion of a very accomplished Turk, holding an important offi.ce under the Government of the Porte, and of several Europeans who have long been inhabitants of this country, that the enterprise would offer every probability of success. Three lines of road have even already been spoken of—one from this capital to Adrianople, another to Smyrna, and a third to Varna. I will speak only of the advantages which the Adrianople line would present. That city has very ex tensive commercial relations with Constantinople, and yet the communication between these two first cities of the Ottoman empire is a most fatiguing, tedious, and ex pensive one. By land it requires four or five days' tra velling on horseback on bad roads (the distance is 150 miles, and by water there are in every season difficulties of another kind. The port of Enos is nearly blocked up with the accumulated deposits of the River Maritza, and is therefore a very unsafe harbour, and the river itself; full of rocks, in winter has its banks generally over flooded, and in summer has often so scanty a stream in its channels, that large boats cannot sail up to Adrian • ople. A railroad, consequently, on this line would offer the best prospects of success. lam assured by those whose opinion is of weight, that the speculation could not fail to be a very profitable one. The English proposal on this subject to the Porte has come from two substantial mercantile houses of Liverpool. I hope it wili meet no impediment from the question of property, the very considerable property its atlopt ion would give to foreigners on the Ottoman territory. If this qnestion does not interpose a hindering obstruc tion, one will hare to rejoice that the rage for railways has taken this eastern direction, for whilst lucre by the establishment of railroad lines in this country would primely be sought, this appetite for gainful enterprise would furnish, at the same time, the most powerful means of giving a civilising impulse to the whole east, whereby the work otherwise of centuries may haply be accomplished in a single generation. I told you in my last letter that the disarming of the Lebanon had been completed, and with respect to the Lebanon, strictly speaking, this information was correct. But I learn that numerous bands of Druses and limo nites have taken refuge in the Hauran, a mountain close upon the Lebanon, inhabited by the tribe of the Metualis, which spot, from its strong natural defences, it will be extremely difficult to disarm. The disarming of it by Ibrahim Pacha was made at a very great sacrifice of men, and it is said by many that unless the inhabitants can be induced to surrender their arms on terms, the military force under Narvik Paella must be increased in [ order to effect that purpose. M. de Bourquenay has addressed a note of an apolo getic character to the Porte, on the subject of the me nace made by the Belle Poule to violate the Ottoman territory to rescue the French dragoman who had been arrested and put in prison, as I wrote to you in a former letter, by the Turkish authorities. It appears that the boat's crew of the Freneh steamer did not on that occa sion land ; but their commander threatened only to do so, if the demand of the French Consul were not com plied with. It is to apologise for this threat that the French Ambassador has addressed the note I speak of to the Porte. his tone is much changed since his late explosions. But no doubt in this instance he has acted with the dignity befitting the representative of a great nation in apologising for a gross insult offered to the Ot toman Government by the malapert hot-headed violence of the French Consul at Beyroue A dispatch from Reschid Pacha has been received by the Porte, in which the ex-ambassador from this country to France declares he shall with all possible expedition take his departure from Paris. He is expected here on the 14th of next month, but may possibly arrive on the 4 th. I have just learnt that the Purte has issued circulars prohibiting the exportation of corn from Rouinelia, after the expiration of a month , on the p retext of the great scarcity that exists throughout the empire, but especially in Syria. But this subject is too important to be treated of at the close of a letter; therefore, having mentioned the fact, I will say no mode.—Cliroeiie4 C'triespondezt.

" Whitefield's bones! and what of them? They have long since been mingled with kindred dust massed into the common clay.' Seventy-fire years have sunk into the grave of ages since the Prince of Preachers was laid down in the narrow bed, from which he never rose but in the spirit. Only the memory of Whitefield survives—his immortal part is now wearing its crown, and with the Elders he is waving his palm; but of the tabernacle' in which h.: tarritd on earth for a season, no trace can remain. It was committed to dust long, long ago,' and nothing but the blast of the archangel's trump shall collect the scattered atoms, and bid the dry bones live." Such may be, percha.nce, the exclamation of the reader, on glancing at Ce heading of this sketch; but let me crave his patience whilst I relate, us simply as may be, the particulars of a pilgrimage which, scarcely more than two months ago, I made to Whitefield's bones, for, to the everlastinc , disgrace of those who might prevent it, they are exposed to the public view " a marvel and a show." I was spending a Sunday at Old Ipswich, in the latter part of last September, when, by accident, I fell in with an old inhabitant of the town who had heard Whitefield preach there. He was a sort of patriarch of the place, and as he sat on one of the stones which surrounded the ancient orthodox meeting-house, his grey locks stream ing from beneath his queerly- shaped hat, and attired in his primly-cut old-fashioned coat, he appeared no bad representative of the departed Puritans who, in former days, had soberly and decently obeyed the call of the Sabbath bell, and worshipped in the same temple whose stecole now cut its shadow athwart the green award beneath. A Sabbath in a New England village is quite a primi tive affair. The old-fashioned folk commence it on the Saturday evening, but the custom is confined to, and will probably die out with them. Where it is observed in all its strictness, every occupation ceases about six o'clock. All loud and boisterous talk is hushed, and the old clock in the corner ticks audibly, whilst the family circle, consisting as well of the domestics as of the members of the family, gather round the wood fire, and listen to the head of th e h ouse rea d an d expound the Scriptures. As the bell of Old Ipawich church swung out that bright Sabbath morning, it was a pretty sight to see the village people corning from different points to the decay ing old church, which was situated, as most country churches in New England are, on a hill top. Whilst I was enjoying the scene, the old man to whom I have alluded, and who was sitting on a stone, accosted me, and asked if I was not a stranger in " those parts?" On my informing him that I was, he became very loquacious, and pointed out to me the various " lions" of the neighbourhood, which consisted of such places as " Heartbreak-hill," " Lovers'-lane," and other affec tionately-named localities, and wound up by observing, " I suppose, Sir, you've a-heard of Whitefield?" Of Whitefield! to be sure I had; and then it occurred to me that the celebrated preacher had often visited Ame rica, and recollections of a fine old mezzotint portrait of him, which used to hang over the family mantel-piece when I was a boy, became vivid, and my curiosity was thoroughly excited as the old gentleman said, when I nodded my head in reply to his query, " Well, I've afseen Whitefield ; George Whitefield stood on this very stone," and lie dropped his stick feebly from his shaking hands, "and I heard him preach here." " And do you remember anything about him?" I asked. " Well, I guess, I do. I was but a bit of u boy then, but here he stood on this stone, looking like a flying angel, and we do call this Whitefield's pulpit to this day. 1 hat other stone, further on, is the one on which they tell the devil lighted when he jumped over the church.' The mark of his toes is to be seen now; but that's non sense, and neither here nor there." " He'd a-preached in Boston, on the common," con tinued the old man, "in the morning, and came over here to give a sermon in the afternoon, and he went from here to Newburyport in the evening. There was folk here from all parts to hear'n; so he was obligated to speak outside, for the church warn't half big enough for 'em, and no two ways about it. I've a-hearn many pa-arsons sin', that time, but none on 'em could come nigh he, anyhow they could fix it." "Do you remember anything of his sermon ?" I inquired. " Oh ! I was too young to notice aright, Sir, but the preacher himself and the crowds of people, but I know he had a very sweet voice, and, as I said when he spread his arms out, with his little Bible in his hand, he looked for all the world like a flying angel. There never were so many people afore or since in old Ipswich. I suppose, Sir, you'll be goin' to see his bones ?" " His bones—whose bones ?" I asked, in some asto nishment. " Why, Mr. Whitefieid's. lie was buried at New buryport, and you can see 'em if you like. The sexton shows 'em, but only strangers go to see 'em, I here." I made up my mind that I would see them too, if pos sible; but I regarded the affair as an old man's story, until I learned from other quarters that what he had stated was true. I attended service in the church, which is one of the oldest in America, and was, therefore, more interesting than a modern erection would have been. There was the old pulpit, with elaborate carvings about it, and of a forty-parson power size. It was surmounted by an enormous sounding board, which was decorated by a gilded star. There had been a similar gorgeous decora tion in front of the pulpit, but it had been considered too gay by a rigid deacon, who scraped off, with his own pious hands, the gold leaf. The pews were very capa cious, and square, old-fashioned high-backed chairs be ing used as seats. In a very high and deep gallery was an ample space for the choir, which was an exceedingly good one ; and en passunt, I would observe that the Americans aro far beyond us so far as hymn singing is concerned, and it would not be amiss if some of the dole ful tuneaters in our churches and chapels would imitate our transatlantic brethren in this respect. After listen ing to the delightful congregational singing in New England, the monotonous, melancholy music of our me tropolitan dissenting choirs, seemed to me dismal in tba extreme. But to my more immediate subject. On the following day, I went over to Newburyport ,by railroad, and having previously ascertained the inte• resting spots, I proceeded first to the house in which Whitefield died. It stands in School-street, and was at one time the residence of the Rev. Jonathan Parsons, the first regular pastor of the Presbyterian Society in the town. It is a plain, unpretending structure, consist ing of two floors, and possessing no other claims to at tention than its being near the spot where the last scene of Whitefield's career was enacted. I knocked at the door, and asked of a servant girl who answered my sum mons, if I might be allowed to see the room in which Mr. Whitefield died, taking it for granted that so meino rable an occurrence must have been familiar to her mind. She looked me in the face for some time, and then replied that no one of that name lived there ; and finding I could make nothing of her, I was turning away, when a lady came forward from a side room, and on learning my business, and receiving my apologies for the intru sion, very courteously showed me up a flight of stairs into a chamber which she said Mr. Whitefield used to sleep in. I surveyed the room with some interest ; but the cha racter of it must have been greatly altered since White field's time, for there was a very pretty French bed, and smart window curtains, and portraits of George Wash ington and General Jackson, and a whole army of Pre ,idents, and a view of Bunker-hill Monument, and similar matters, but nothing whatever to remind me of White- Meld. " Here is the place he died in," said the lady ; and she showed me a little entry just outside the door of the bed-chamber, directly over the entrance to the house. A window in this recess commanded a view of the road in front of the dwelling. "He lay, the night before he died," said the lady, "in that bedchamber, and when he was took for death he ran out to this entry-window for breath, and died whilst sitting in a chair opposite it." A host of thoughts crowded to my mind as I stood on the spot where the great man gasped, and gasped for air, and then breathed out his life. So simply and so graphically is the last scene of all described by his ser vant, Richard Smith, who attended him from England to America the last time he ever crossed the Atlantic, that I cannot forbear quoting here from his narrative. There is no flourish or parade about it ; its interest lies in the little fuels which it records, and which, in connexion with Whitefield, are of such deep interest. " The ac count," it has been said, " has all the constituents of a completed drama;" and what could close it more graphi cally than that single, simple fact, of " the people who went weeping through the siree.s to their respective places of abode ?" "On the morning of his death, at a quarter-past four, be waked, and said, My asthma, my asthma is coming Haverhill,) (n I wish I had not given out word to preach at Monday; I don't think I shall be able; butl shallsee whet to-day will bring forth.

I was continually employed in taking the phlegm o u t of his mouth with a handkerchief, and bathing his temp l es with drops, rub bing his wrists, &c., to give him relief, ifpossible, but all in vain PUBLICATIONS.

" 0 yah l yah! yah I What an umpeuun tratum nigger you is I' his hands and feet were as cold as clay. When the doctor came in, and saw him in the chair, leasing upon m_y breast, he felt his pulse, and said, He is a dead man.' Mr. Par sons said, I do not believe it ; you must do something doctor!' He said, • I cannot ; he is now near his last breath.' And indeed, so it was for he fetched but one gasp, and stretched out his feet, and breathed no more. This war exactly at six o'clock. We continued rubbing his lags hands, and feet with warm cloths, and bathed him with spirits for some time, but all in vain. I then put him into a warm bel, the doctor standing by, and often raised him upright, continued rubbing him, and putting spirits to his nose for an hour, till all hopes were gone. The people came in crowds to see him; I begged the doctor to shut the door." Of the funeral ho says— " When the corpse was placed at the foot of the pulpit, close to the vault, the Rev. Daniel Rogers made a very affecting prayei, and openly confessed, that under God, he owed his conversion to the labours of that dear man of God, whose precious remains now lay before them. Then he cried out, omy father, my father,' then stopped and wept, as though his heart would break, and the people weeping all through the place. Then he recovered, and finished his prayer, and sat down and wept. Then one of the deacons gave out that hymn, Why do we mourn departing friends,' &c., some of the people weeping, some singing, and so on alter nately. The Rey. Mr. Jewel preached a funeral discourse, and made an affectionate address to his brethren, to lay to heart the cl , mth of that useful man of God; begging that he and they might be upon their watch-tower, and endeavour to follow his blessed example. The corpse was then put into the vault, and all concluded with a short prayer and dismis sion of the people, who went weeping through the streets to their respective places of abode." The Federal-street Church, where W hitfield was buried, was but a short distance from the house in which he died, and on my way to it I stopped at the sexton's house. That functionary was not at home, but a little boy came up to me with several keys in his hand, and said he could show me the church, which he did. There was not much to see, excepting the Whitefield monu ment ; and when I had read the inscription thereon, I asked the boy to show me the vault. " No one but father does that," said the boy ; " and he won't be here this half hour." "Is there any one about the neighbourhood wl.o knew Whitefield ?" I asked of him. " Yes, there's old Sam'l Wilkinson, as lives in next street—he says he seed'un." And then, in obedience to my reque..t, the lad piloted me to the house of a very old man, of whom I inquired if he had known the great preacher ? •` Yes," said he, " and I was in the room with :him just five minutes or so after he died. I was only six years old then, and I don't know ai I ever went with the crowds to hear him, but I saw him dead and buried." I had further talk with this old Mall, and then went back to the church, at the door of which I found the sex ton waiting for me. He preceded me through the aisle of the church, and, opening a little narrow door by the side of the pulpit, we passed into a dim, dingy room behind it, and from thence, descending four or five steps, found ourselves in a brick vault, which lay directly under the pulpit. It was two or three minutes before my eyes got accustomed to the gloom ; but soon objects became dis cernable, and I saw three old coffins, two of them ser ving as supports to the third, which lay across them. One of these coffins contained the remains of the Rev. Jonathan Parsons, the pastor of the church when Whitefield was preaching here, and another holds the bones of the Rev. Joseph Prince, a blind travelling preacher, who died in 1791, and the third was White field's. Just as if he was going to exhibit some common curiosity, the sexton trimmed his lamp, then lifted the lid off an old coffin, and holding the flame dote to it, said, " Here, look in ;" and then, pointing to a heap of bones, gathered together at the head of the shell, said, in a very business-like tone, _ _ " MAT'S THE MAN." Yes—there lay the man,or, at least, all that remained of the once mighty preacher. For all I knew, the heap of dirt, the skull, and the loose bones, might have been any one else's. But a strange awe came over me at his words, " That is the man." I took the skull in my hands and examined it narrowly. The forehead was rather narrow than broad— by no means high. I soon put it back again to the coffin, for I bethought me of Shakspeare's malediction, and felt as if I had committed sacrilege by touching the precious relics. It is said that one of the arm bones was stolen, and is in England. Philip, in his " Life and Times," refers to this with jti.t indignation. For my own part, 'lid I know the possessor of it, I would print his name, for the purpose of shaming him into restoration. There are some other interesting sepulchres in New buryport ; amongst them, the grave of l'homas Parker, one of the early ministers. Cotton Mather thus quaintly and beautifully speaks of him : "He went unto the immortals in April, 1677, in the 82d year of his age, after he had lived all his days a single man ; but a great part of his days engaged in Apocalyptic studies, lie went unto the Apocalyptic virgins who follow the Lamb whithersoever he goes." With as anecdote of Whitefield, which, I believe, is not generally known in England, I conclude this article: "'ln the last visit but one which Wh4etield paid to America, he spent a day or two at Princetonomder the roof of the Rev. Dr. Finley, then president of the college at - that place. At dinner, the Doctor said, Mr. Whitetield. I hope it will be very long before you will be called home, but when that event shall arrive, I should be glad to hear the 'noble testimony you will bear for God.' You would be disap pointed, doctor,' said Whitetield, I shall die silent. It has pleased God to enable me to bear so many testimonies for him during my life, that he will require Lone from me when I die. No, no. It is your dumb Christian., that have walked in fear and darkness, and thereby been unable to bear a testi mony for God during their lives, that he compels to speak out for him on their death-beds.' " This anecdote was related a few months ago to a gen tleman of New York, by an individual now living, who was then a student in the college, and a boarder in Dr. Finley's family. The manner of Whitefield's death ful filled his prediction. WHIZ. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.

F ATAL ACCIDENT IN YORK • STREET, WISTAIIN.• IT6II. Saturday morning an accident of a dreadful character happened to a fine young lad, named Michael Welch, living at 6, Ship-court, York-street, Westminster, which caused his almost instant death, The unfortunate child was crossing the road, near her Majesty's Stationary-office, in York-street, when a cart drove along, knocked him down under the wheel, and his head was nearly crushed in before he could be extri cated from his perilous position. As soon as this was done he was taken to the Westminster Hospital ; but it was found he was quite dead. The fractures of his head and body were frightful. The driver of the cart drove away, and it is at present unknown to whom the cart belonged, except that it was the property of some mine-merchaat at Kennington. ItO" Of I .° AC.
