WATERPROOF AND WARM WINTER CLOTHING. WALTER BERDOE, TAILOR, No. 69, CORNHILL, was the first who introduced the NEW VENTILATING WATERPROOF, which renders garments (when properly made up) completely impervious to rain, without offering any obstruction to the escape of perspira tion. Its complete success is now fully established, as is proved by the most convincing testimonials, its extensive adoption, and the numerous attempts subsequently made by others to ac complish the same end. THE CODRINGTON DREADNOUGHTS are a New, and much approved Waterproof Garment, gentlemanly, port able, and convenient, are now in general use, and the best proof of their efficiency is the greatly increasing demand for them, through the recommendation of those who have long tried them. W. Berdoe has new ready a large stock of all the most ap proved materials for Warm Winter Clothing, and is convinced that the process of the British Water-proofing Company is the best. First-rate Clothing of every description made to order. 69, CORNHILL (North side). T HE FREQUENT ROBBERIES OF PLATE. CAUTION.

Church Service ; 2d, Church Ministers ; 3d, Church Liv ings and Maintenance; 4th, Church Discipline; in all which they complained of many abuses and corruptions. The King who was resolved to follow the example of other Christian Princes, who, in the commencement of their reigns, usually took the first course for the establishing of the Church, both for doctrine and polity, issued out his proclamations, whereby he appointed several Bishops and Deans, together with the Principals of those who had presented this petition to the King, to attend on him at his palace at Hampton-court, on January 12, 1603, there to confer with his Majesty about these abuses and corruptions of which he had received such complaints." " On the second day of this conference, Dr. Reynolds, who was the foreman and speaker of the Puritans, moved his Majesty that there might be a new translation of the Bible, because, as he said, those which were allowed in the reigns of Henry VIII. and Edward VI., were corrupt, and not unswerable to the truth of the original."—Page 310. " Messieurs de Beausobre and L'lnfant, Ministers of the French Church at Berlin, represented to the late King of Prussia, that the French translations of the Bible began to he neither so intelligible nor agreeable to be read as they were at first, and that therefore to be edified by them required that they should be revised, or a new translation made. On which that Prince pitched on them for this purpose, and by his Royal Decree appointed them to make a new translation."—P. 372. A Complete History of the several T.anslations of the Holy Bible and Testament, into English, both in MS. and in Print, and of the most remarkable editions of them since the invention of printing, by John Lewis, A.M., Chaplain to the Right Hon. Thomas Earl of Mallon, and Minister of Margate, in Kent, 1739. Now comes the modern—mightier far. " If he who spake as never man spake, who came to bless all nations with divine wisdom, was by the enemies of his Gospel, the Pharisaical critics of the time, charged with being beside himself—of having a devil, &c., because he told them that they tanght for doctrines the commandments of men, i. e. the false interpretations of the sacred original, and on that account was persecuted by the bigots of that day,—one humble as myself may expect to be abused by men of this description." . . . " But my motives and my principles are, I presume to hope, worthy the protection of my Country, and its established Church; and, under the guidance of Heaven, I look to both. For the condescension and uniform patronage which I have re ceived, I shall ever feel the most lively gratitude ; the Prince Regent, 50,copies, 1,000/. I trust that it will support me in the prosecution of my labours, will protect me from the insidious influence of calumny, and the more daring violence of malice, envy, and all uncharitableness." 111 r.

This act shall the good man teach his son ; And with it we shall be remembered." " University Education." " The great resorts and seats of learning often outlive in this way the intentions of founders, as the world outgrows them. Our Universities are, in a great measure, become cisterns to hold, not conduits, to disperse, knowledge. The age has the start of them, that is, other sources of knowledge have been opened since their formation, to which the world have had access, and have drank plentifully at these living fountains, from which they are debarred by the tenor of their Charter, and as a matter of dignity and privilege. All that has been invented or thought in the last two hundred years they take no cognizance of, or as little as possible, they are above it, they stand upon the ancient land-marks, and will not budge, whatever was not known when they were'endowed, they are still in profound and lofty ignorance of."—Hazlitt's Table Talk: also, the Examiner, Jan. 20, 1828. "Let the Noble Viscount persevere in the course—i. e., re sisting the demands of, and braving the direction of Radicals-- which he had resolved upon taking, and then let him trust to the good sense of the people of this country for support.' Such were the words in which the Duke o Wellington ex pressed his confidence in the sincerity of Lo aMelbourne."— The Times, July 1, 1839. "It was said by the Noble Duke ellington) that those opinions were contrary to the opinions neld by the University of Oxford. He (Viscount Melbouone) had great respect for that University, but he could not admit that the University of Oxford was to be infallible in these matters. On the contrary, it was well known that the opinions of the Reformers who brought about the Reformation in the Church were entirely opposed to the University of Q 4 x ford. It was well known, that if the opinions of that Unive isity had been adhered to, the Protestant religion would ne)teir have been established. The opinions of Locke were opposed to those of the University; and if their opinions only were to be consulted, everything liberal, noble, and ingenuous in our institutions would never have been established."—Viscount Melbourne's Speech in the House of Lords, on the debate on the Earl of Radnor's motion respecting the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge.—The Morning Herald, Friday, Dec. 22, 1837. "We observe in a pamphlet, Anti-Deist,' published by Mr. Bellamy, that Exodus, c. iii, v. 22, is a gross mistransla tion. He notices a number of other errors in the translation of the Bible now in use, equally hostile to the true meaning of the writers. It is not a little curious, that many of these mis translated passages, which give meanings in direct opposition to the real ones, have been as stoutly defended by eminent theo logians as any in the whole Look, and long commentaries have been written upon them, expressly to show their beauty and propriety."—The Examiner, Dec. 24, 1821. " Mr. Bellamy, in a very conclusive performance, the Anti_ Deist, does not attempt to parry the weapon, so much as to disarm the hand that wields it ; for he does not explain away the objections that have been advanced by the Deist, but he labours rather to extirpate them, and to show that they have no other root but misconception or mistake. Should this author's emendations turn out correct, they should be adopted, as no time and no authority can consecrate error. Mr. Bellamy has p-4. r ait i t Ag e crac i , st in thet very l i yhest qua=r „; :xt ,, t , r t o o n t ag,. patron as the author." " His alterations, I admit, are extremely numerous, im portant, and consequential, but they are supported by a mass of erudition, authority, and argument, that does indeed demand our most serious attention, and many in common with my; elf, will lament that they have drank more freely at the stream, than at the fountain." " We hail the march of intellect, because we know—that a reason that is cultivated, is the best support of a worship that is pure. It is for those whO thrive by the darkness to hurl their anethemas against the diffusion of light; but wisdom, like a pure and bright conductor, can render harmless the brutum fulmen' of the Vatican."—Lacon, C. C. Colton. " I may therefore conclude, that upon this revision of the Hebrew Scriptures, great stress ought to be laid, as anticipat ing a closer approximation in sentiment among all denomina tions of Christians now at variance with each other, upon cer tain disputed points of doctrine—under this impression, I think all must subscribe to its importance."—Chester Chronicle, Feb. 20, 1824, , " We may be sure that sufficient care has been taken that the Holy Scriptures should contain nothing unsuitable to the character or dignity of God, and that God should say nothing of himself which should derogate from his own Majesty. " Milton's Posthumous Treatise. " Mr. Carlisle then read the names of several of the sub scribers, beginning with the Prince Regent, who at first sub scribed only for five copies; but, pleased with the specimens of the translations forwarded to him by the gentleman in ques tion' had increased that number to fifty. This anecdote he had from Mr. Bellamy himself, who wasi, ntimately acquainted with Dr. Clarke, the Prince's librarian. Here Mr. Carlisle iterated his argument, arising from the discrepancy of the two translations, and the consequent fallibility, at least, of one version."

" Surely the elevated patronage which this New Translation has deservedly obtained, should operate as a general example and incitement. Shall the Bible, with its many acknowledged errors, descend to posterity polluted with all those errors ; or shall it be transmitted to the latest generations of mankind, with as much of its original purity as it is po.,sible for human sagacity, knowledge, and diligence to elucidate and confirm."—.

Authorised Version, Deuteronomy, chap. 14, v. 22 :—" Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed." " It is a well-known maxim of English law, suggested by common sense, and recognised by every principle of justice, to infer, that the long and uninterrupt e d en joyment of a civil right must have originated in a reg - alar grant from the original owner, although no express evidence can be produced of existence of such conveyance." On Tithes.—Quarterly Re view, No. 53. . _ New Trans'ation :—" A tenth thou shalt tenth, of all the increase of thy seed." Note—Onkelos, the most eminent of all the learned Rabbis, who lived before the dispersion of the Hebrews, and consequently made the translation of the Sacred Volume into Chaldee at that period when the Hebrew was a national language, he thus translates the clause—gnasaara tignsarah, " a tenth thou shalt tenth," which is the same as the Hebrew. The Septuagint 3E - 4z-rr i 7 avc? o..sx^c'D crF (both Alexandrine and Vatican) " a tenth thou shalt tenth." The learned Selden, Le Clerc, and other great authorities on tithes, say—" It is not likely that the Levites should have had a tenth of the whole produce of the land, because the number of the tribe of Levi, compared with the numbers of the other tribes, was so trifling. Neither could it be of all the produce of the land, but of the increase of the seed; as it is truly said in the common version : for the increase must necessarily have been that part of the produce after the seed employed to give the increase, had been returned to the grower out of the gross produce ; otherwise it could not have been said it was the " in crease of the seed." " When the harvest had beene ended, and all gathered, then the husbandman laid aside his great themma, otherwise called the first fruits of his threshing floore, of which it bath beene spoken in chapter on first fruits; which, though it were one of ten, in respect of that portion which the Levites received, yet it was but one of a hundred in respect of the husbandman's tocke, who payed the Levites; the Levites payed a tenth por tion unto the Priests ; this they termed Magnasher mim-ham magnasher, the tithe of the tithes, Neh. x. 38. The Pharises would pay a tenth, Matt. xxiii. 23 ; and hence it is that they boasted, They gave tithes of all that they possessed, Luke xviii. 12."—Civil and Ecclesiastical Rites, used by the ancient Hebrews.

" Add to this, that by the tenth part of the lands must ne cessarily be meant the tenth part of the profits ; which must be owned to be a very forced interpretation, especially in a primordial act such as this:'''—Page 111, Rapin's History of England.

During all that period, there fore, both the clergy and Church appear to have been sup ported by the free gifts and other oblations of the pious."—See Selden on Tithes, and Barb. liem. 169.

" The King, Henry the Fourth, representing to the Parlia ment his great want of an extraordinary aid, the Commons went in a body and addressed him, That without burdening his people he might supply his occasions byseizing the revenues of the clergy.' The Archbishop of Canterbury resisted—the Commons brought in a Bill to seize the clergy's revenues— the solicitations of the Archbishop were so prevalent with the Lords, that they threw out the Bill, so the Commons were forced to find other means to supply the king's occasions ; the clergy granted a tenth and a half."—Page 495. The Commons, willing to comply with the King's (Henry V.) demand of a subsidy, presented an address, praying him to seize the clergy's revenues. The clergy perceiving their ruin inevitable, came to the resolution to: resign a part of their riches to the King in order to save the rest,"—Page 509, Rapin's History of England. " It has been presumptuous," so we read in the pithy Exam iner, No. 780, "to dabble in chemistry ; to look through a te lescope ; to innoculate for thesmall-pox ; to abate the virulence of a pestilential disorder by the salutary assistance of a cow ; lastly, and we trust the argument will be deemed conclusive—. to read the Bible. And in what has all this presumption gene rally consisted? In the anxiety of some men to know more than it was convenient for other men they should know. The moment the daring inquirer discovered a truth—a truth !—which threatened to militate against a profitable system of error, then the awful secrets' were invaded—the ' ark of the sanctuary' disturbed. Any Barabbas of the day was milk-white compared with the daring offender : in a word, ' away with him.' Could great men thunder,' says Shakspeare, ' there would be nothing but thunder.' Could they make a thirst for knowledge sinful and presumptuous, there would be a most inconvenient multipli cation of awful secrets.' " Having now emerged from the honourable estimation in the community, we take leave to mention a few whose great names gave permanency to the system. " Pro ;est."

" May the diffusion of knowledge, the increase of religion and morality, and the augmented happiness of the people, make the present reign (era) more glorious than triumphs in the field have rendered those that preceded it, and peace have her victories no less renowned than war." Reasons in favour of a New Translation of the Holy Scrip. tures. By Sir Jams Bland Burgess, Bart. 1819. " The matter is highly deserving of attention. It is a question of no less magnitude than the choice between a blind adhesion to error, and a pure and perfect knowledge of the re vealed law of God. Which of these is preferable—which of them is it no less the interest than it is the duty of every rea sonable being to adopt—cannot admit of a doubt. In such a case let us not be alarmed by any vain fear of temporary in convenience, which ought not for a moment to weigh against the permanent and incalculable advantages attendant on such a measure. Let us, on the other hand, entertain a lively, and, I t , ust, a well-founded hope, that those who govern our Church and. State, may be pleased to take the matter into consi deration, andl irect an immediate revision of our Received Version, or, what might perhaps be more recommendable, a New Translation of the Original Text."—Extracts. A Reply to the Rev. Mr. Todd's Vindication of our Trans lation and Translators of the Bible. By Sir James Bland Burgess, 1890 L " I certainly, therefore, should have considered them as alio gether undeserving of a reply, had they not been employed as a vehicle of much illiberal personality, to which the writer has affected to give an additional weight, by ostentatiously an nouncing himself in his title-page, as Keeper of the Arch bishop of Canterbury's Records,' and by dating his preface from The Library, Lambeth Palace.' " " Such were the birth and parentage of our received ver sion, as asserted by Mr. Todd hi mse lf, and proved by his own testimony ! No further comment on it is necessary." Suo sibi gladio hung jugalo. " Resting on this evidence, I leave this charge, and with it the whole of Mr. Todd's Vindication of our authorised trsnsla tion and translators, than which a more meagre, crude, and unsatisfactory performance, was never obtruded on the public." " The charge of Socinianism is a mere stale haclznied Ir'cl: of miserable controversialists, when they are reduced to Il)e naltry shift of calling names, in the hope of thereby eseep;rg from the effect of arguments, which they are incapable of an swering. Does not he know that it was employed against I e Clerc ? Did he never hear of a similar charge made against our immortal Locke ? If such artifices were used against men of their exalted characters, I can have no pretension to expect a more liberal treatment." " Some may say, Le tus introduce no change,for we cannot tell what further changes may be required of us.'__H a d this been listened to, neither the Reformation nor the Revolm;on could have taken place, and we should have been still subject eo Romish superstition, and to despotic power." " On the side of those who advocate the necessity of a New Translation rests the whole weight of facts and arguments. Let not these be counteracted by less worthy considerations ; let us not leave to the enemios of Christianity the only weapons by which it can be assailed; but let us cordially and sincerely unite with the learned and pious prelate Archbishop New combe, in the prayer with which he concludes his preface. May the all-wise God, in His fit time, dispose the Sovereign of the first Protestant Churches, and of the most learned countries in the world, to complete his true acts of piety, by promoting equal attention to t he En g lish I3 ible !'

The celebrity of BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, and its unparalleled extent of sale, with which the public generally are now well acquainted, would seem to render almost unnecessary any attempt to extend a knowledge of those facts. Such, indeed, would be the course that J. T. Betts sod Co. would pursue, were it not for the numerous and specious attempts to foist upon the world articles presumptuously offered as substitutes for the Patent Brandy, without the most remote pretensions to approach it in quality; attempts which, however short lived, impose upon J. T. Betts and Co. the ne cessity for issuing, from time to time, a caution to the Public to satisfy themselves of the identity of the Spirit which they pro cure. If purchasers would take only that simple precaution, and really obtain Betts's Patent Brandy, the complaints in cessantly made of the defective character of Home-made Brandy, would soon cease to be heard. So unbounded is the confidence of J. T. Betts and Co. in the sterling qualities and value of their production—and so en tirely is that confidence - borne out by chemical analysis, by medical sanction, and by universal family support—that they have challenged their continental neighbours, the French Dis tillers, to produce, amongst the finest samples of Cognac, an article of equal purity, or possessed of the same wholesome properties, as the Patent Brandy. The Patentees, as Distillers, cannot send out less than Two Gallons, which may be obtained, either pale or coloured, for Cash on Delivery, at Eighteen Shillings per Imperial Gallon, of the highest legal strength, at the Di s till er y, N o . 7, Smithfield bars, leading to St. John-street,—their only Establishment.

A FEW WORDS of ADVICE to the UPPER and MIDDLE CLASSES, from SOME MEMBERS of the LATE GENERAL CON VENTION. We the undersigned, having been Members of the late General Convention, feel ourselves imperatively called upon at the present crisis solemnly to express our firm conviction, that, had the demands of the National Petition not been rejected, or had even such a sym pathy been manifested for the ir.dustrious classes by the influential members of the other portions of society as would have encouraged a hope that the wrongs of the operatives would not long remain unredressed, the country would not now have to deplore late events of a disastrous character. We would therefore entreat our fellow-citizens of the aristocracy and the middle classes seriously to re flect that they cannot acquit themselves of tae moral responsibility which must necessarily rest upon them, arising out of the consequences of refusing to concede just claims constitutionally and peaceably demanded. We would urge upon them to weigh well the existing causes of irritation—to remember the language and threats made übe of by so many of themselves at the time of passing the Reform Bill, and therefore to ex tend that consideration to others who are now excluded from the pale of the Constitution which had they, at that time, been successful they would have reasonably expected for themselves. Above all we would implore them for the sake of our common country not to widen any further the breach, by harsh and vindictive mea sures, nor make use of the forms of the British law to crush those who might think they were acting accord ing to the genius of the British Constitution. Believing that the upper and middle classes have it now in thew power w tn.....Alhalmy the 1111LibUf ;VMS the esteem of the Operatives, we call upon them to avail themselves of this opportunity extensively to make it known as their decided wish that no more victims be sacrificed to uphold a system of exclusion.

HASTINGS.—The mortal remains of Lady Monteagle, who expired at her residence in this town on Tuesday week, were interred on Monday last, in the rural church of Ore.—Brighton Guardian. ToRTOISE Sri EL L.—The following singularly barbarous process for obtaining the tortoise shell is abstracted from an Indian newspaper, called the Singa pore Chronicle :---" This highly-prized aquatic produc tion, when caught by the Eastern islanders, is suspended over a fire, kindled immediately after its capture, until such time as the effect of the heat loosens the shell to such a degree that it can be removed with the greatest ease. The animal, now stripped and defenceless, is set at liberty, to re-enter its native element. If caught the ensuing season, or at any subsequent period, it i 3 asserted that the unhappy animal is subsequent to a second ordeal of fire, rewarding its captors this time, however, with a thin shell. This, if true, shows more policy and skill than tenderness in the method thus adopted by the islanders ; it is a questionless proof, too, of tenacity of life in the animal, and must farther be accounted a very singular fact in natural history." LYCEUMS' TEA PARTY.—In the Town Hall, Manchester, on Monday evening last, the friends and promoters of the three Lyceums, established in Ancoats, Chorlton-on-Medlock, and Salford, took tea together in celebration of the formation and success of these institu tions, in the centre of the large room of the Town-hall, which was crowded in every part between the colon nades which separate the centre from the ends. Thomas Potter, Esq., tha Mayor, was in the Chair. A Liberal Contemporary, who has sometimes distinguished himself by doing a bit of Chartism in the way of business, charges us with " heartlessness and flippancy' in speaking of the Chartists, " against whom Ministers are obliged to direct the force of the law." We thought ourselves safe from such an imputation when we said, " We believe that the administration of justice and the prerogative of mercy are in very good hands, and that neither will be improperly exercised. Not knowing what circumstances of mitigation or the contrary may be elicited at the trials, we cannot even form an opinion as to the way in which the prisoners should be treated." We certainly showed small reverence to the Standard': using an appeal for mercy as an introduction to an attack on the Education Committee, and Mr. Cardo's discovery of Russian influence in Wales. We are sorry to hear that the Chartists are strong and numerous ; but we do not think their strength or numbers will be lessened by treating the miserable impostors who lead them with respect, or by gravely reasoning with Messrs. Cardo and O'Connor.—Globe. BANK OF IRELAND. --A Court of Proprietors was held on Wednesday, T. Wilson, Esq., Governor, in the chair, who read the following report from the Court of Directors :—" That it is the opinion of this Court that a dividend of four per cent. be made to the Pro prietors of Bank Stock for the half-year ending the 25th inst. That public notice be given that this payment will be made at the Bank, on and after the Ist day of Janu ary next. That the transfer books be shut from the 11th inst. until the Ist day of January next." The Governor said, that the business had not decreased—on the contrary, it had rather increased ; and that since this time twelve months there was rather an increase in the surplus fund. HORACE WALPOLE.—Perhaps the only occa sion on which Horace Walpole appears to have had - any respect for talents, unsupported by rank, was when he placed Praxitelcs at the side of the Honourable Mrs. Damer. ALLEGED DEATH FROMOFFICIAL NEGLECT. --Tuesday afternoon the adjourned inquest on the body of Martin Molloy, aged 38, who was alleged to have died of destitution, consequent upon a refusal to admit him into the workhouse, or afford relief on the part of the relieving officer of the Holborn Union, was resumed before Mr. Baker, the Coroner. The jury returned the following verdict :--.‘ That deceased died on the 11th of December, 1839, in the parish of St. Luke, from natural causes ; but that being in a state of destitution, and leaving the aforesaid parish and apply ing for relief in the parish of St. Andrew Holborn, he thereby caused the parish officers much difficulty in administering the new Poor-law, by which his death was accelerated. The jury strongly recommend that in all cases of destitution prompt relief be ordered to the party applying, leaving the consideration of the liability of parishes to future arrangement." EVENING EDITION. EAST INDIA HOUSE. (Continued from The Sun of yesterday.) The CHAIRMAN said it had never fallen to his lot to discharge a duty so pleasing to his feelings as that of asking that Court to return their thanks to the Go vernor-General and the officers of the army for the brilliant services they have rendered to India aad to the British empire. The papers laid before the proprietors would have informed them that the British forces, amountiag to 15,000 men, formed from the armies of Bengal and Bombay, Europeans and Natives, accom panicd by new levies of Shah Shoojah, to the extent of six thousand men, were put in motion at the and of last year, with the view of accomplishing certain objects which the Governor-General deemed important to the security of the great interests connected with his charge ; and that, after marching between 1.200 and 1,400 miles, those forces, under the command of Lieut.-General Sir John Keane, succeeded in effecting every object in view, thus carrying into complete effect the intentions of the Governor-General, and crowning their labours by one of the greatest military achievements recorded in history.—(Hear,) When the route was considered which the troops had gone—which consisted of deserts and defiles hitherto almost impass able, through regions, too, of which very inadequate in formation was possessed—it could not be surprising that, in spite of every preparation, precaution, and fore sight which circumstances could suggest for the com fort of the army, they should have been exposed. during part of that march, to no ordinary privation.—(Hear, hear.) It must be admitted, at the same time, that the spirit of British troops, both European and Native, has never proved itself more worthy of the national confi dence than in this campaign.—(Cheers.) " I propose to you," said the Chairman," that in the first place we thank Lord Auckland (a weed of praise which seems pre-eminently his due) for the sagacity and promptitude with whi c h h e p l anne d th e li n e of oper a ti ons , as well as for the z ea l an d energy which he displayed in preparing the troops to take the field. The plan of the Governor-General comprised a series of movements which should traverse the whole line of the Indus, demonstrate our power to the different states on its banks, and secure its course; both as the base of our operations and the channel of our supplies, and confirm the opening of its navigation to the commerce of the world, having brought the Bengal and Bombay armies into communication—a movement in advance to place us in military occupation of that extraordinary defile, the Bolaum Pass, which must be traversed by an army coming towards Hindoostan by a southern road. The plan further included such a demonstration to the north, on the Klyber Pass, as should prevent Dost Mahommed from moving southward to the relief of his brothers of Candahar—thus affording the best chance of keeping the Affgan powers detached, of having the weakest por tion to attack first ; and so with the least resistance possessing ourselves of that post which was the key to further operations, whether on the side of Herat or of Cabul. The result has proved the sagacity of these arrangements, as well as the perfect efficiency of the means provided for carrying them into effect. But for the treachery of the Khan of Kelat, who let loose upon us bands of plunderers in the Bolaum defile, no enemy would have been met with between the -Indus and Can dahar. As it was, the difficulties were all most gallantly surmounted. The resolution of thanks to the Governor-General wes then read, and seconded by the Deputy-chairman, Mr. H. Bailey. Sir C. FORBES objected to the resolution. Was it Lord Auckland who planned the operations? He (Sir C. Forbes) thought the credit Was due to Ministers— that Sir J. Hobhouse and Lord Palmerston had, in fact, planned them. They were at least entitled to half of the thanks of the Court. The gallant Duke of Wel lington had said, " We shall see the end when the troops have returned." He (Sir C. Forbes) hoped they ivould return to Bengal and Bombay, but he exceedingly doubted it. He was sorry to say that the troops were in such a state of sickness, that it was likely most of them would not get back again. Mr. WEEDING was disposed to concur in the vote of thanks which had been proposed, as he thought great sagacity had been exhibited in the selection of the pass through which the army had gone. After some further discussion, the question was put and carried, Sir C. Forbes only bolding up his hand against it. The Clerk then read the vote of thanks to Sir John Keane. Sir C. FORBES objected to the vote, until he had received some explanation as to the barbarous massacre of certain persons by Shah Shoojah, who were taken prisoners on the 27th July. They were prisoners of war, but were beheaded on the spot. He objected to the word " invincible"—none but the Almighty was invincible. Mr. POYNDER concurred. The CHAIRMAN deeply regretted that the Hon. Ba ronet had founded his objection to the motion on reports of Sir J. Keane's participation in the acts of the Shah, which had been contradicted. Sir C. FoRBEs—I read the statement from a letter I received. - rbe unArrimAN said the established reputation of Sir John Keane ought to have prevented such a charge. —(Loud cheers.) On hearing of the rumour, Lord Auckland had called for a report, but this had not ar rived when the last dispatches left India. He would read an extract of a letter from Mr. Macnaghten as to the character of the Shah. It was this—" Our King is a good King, and I have no hesitation in saying that there is not a better man in this country." As regarded the beheading of the men alluded to, a letter he had re ceived stated that they had been murdering the un armed camp followers wherever they could seize them, He had no objection to the introduction of the words " under Divine Providence," but the word " invincible" only meant that the parties to whom it was applied had not quailed under difficulties. It had been used before, and, he trusted, would now be retained. Sir CHARLES FORBES replied, and the resolution was then put and carried. The third resolution was then read, and after a few observations, carried. In answer to an observation from Mr. Tepier, The CHAIRMAN said there was no doubt but that the Governor-General would recompense the officers for the losses they had sustained by the campaign. DUTIES UPON EAST INDIA PRODUCE. The CHAIRMAN said the petition drawn up on this subject, at the desire of several Directors and the Court of Proprietors, would now be read. The Clerk then read the petition, Mr. MONTGOMERY MARTIN regretted that the pe tition did not pray for the appointment of a Committee of both Houses of Parliament, to take the subject of it into consideration, and without which, he feared, it was likely to effect very little good. After some discussion: the petition was agreed to, and ordered to be printed in the usual form. Mr. POYNDEa then brought forward his motion rela tive to idolatrous worship, supporting his motion with the arguments he has repeatedly used on former oc casions. After some discussion, the motion was withdrawn. Mr. WEEDING also withdrew the motion of which he had given notice. SECRET SERVICE MONEY. Sir C. FORBES then brought forward his motion re lative to the sums expended by the Secret Committee, and which, he said, in the present year amounted to .53,0001. The Secret Committees of that Court re fused to give the Proprietors the least information on the subject of their expenditure ; and said, in excuse, they had taken an oath to observe secrecy. Mr. ASTELL (a Director) said that the Court of Directors did not know of those disbursements until they were actually made. Sir C. FORBES then moved for an account of tho annual disbursements made under the orders of the Secret Committee during the last ten years, and up to the present time ; that there be laid before the Court the authority under which the Secret Committee of the Court of Directors consider themselves warranted in having made these disbursements ; and that there be laid before the Court copies of any protests or dissents of individual members of the Court of Directors against, or connected with, such disbursements. Mr. LEWIS seconded the motion. After a long discussion, the first resolution was agreed to, the second was withdrawn, and th e thi r d (for the accounts up to the present time) negatived by a very considerable majority.—The Court then adjourned. DESTRUCTION OF NEW ORLEANS. ,-- A New York Paper contains the following account of the destruction of New Orleans by an inundation of the Mississipi :—" A sudden and mighty inundation of the Mississipi, bearing upon its bosom an enormous ava lanche of timber from above, and sweeping in its course every town upon its banks below the estuary of the Mis souri, came thundering against New Orleans in the night, and with an awful ru s h swep t th e whole city into the gulf of Mexico. The spectacle was awful. Trees!, timbers, forests, cities, churches (with and without steeples), negroes, ladies, ereoles, judges, aldermen, pigF, poultry, banks, loco focos, indomitables, and buttenders, were all heaped up together in a crude and shapeless mass of conglomerated improbabilities, like an unap proachable island, about forty miles from the Delta of the Father of Waters, whose impetuous course in flicted the calamity. The consequence was, that all business was suspended—the banks could not resume because their left,eirs ab ci o e u h t s a l d o sunko eo ptotphle, standing ebotto upon,ancl w hn the express the fragments of interlocked timbers, walls, columne, masts, chimneys, and pyramids, were waving white pocket handkerchiefs as signals of distress. .—We hear that there is now in this coun try, at most, not more than a year's consumption of Tea ; it becomes, therefore, a matter of very general interest to know all about the production and cultivation of the Tea Plant, all of which will be f0u.,,1 very agreeably described in Dr. Sigmond's little book on the " Moral and Medicinal Effects of Tea," which, the Literary Ga zelle says, " tells us more about its cultivation, manu • facture, natural history, &c., than we have ever met with before, in travels, essay, or encyclopaedia.
