Canadian, will proceed a sigh of sorrow for the departed gallant spirits, whilst the universal desire will be indulged, that their widows and children should be the objects cf the tender care and paternal protection of the Government and the Legislature. " The result of this treacherous and piratical expedition thus happily defeated, incontrovertibly proves that felons and brigands must expect to have faithless and cowardly leaders .--that those who are most active in tempting others to crime i are the most ready to abandon them to destruction ; an d it s accordingly seen, that the false and double traitors who in duced a body of strangers to invade in arms a peaceful country, have themselves remained in safety, prepared, pro bably, to delude new victims, but always ready to avoid new consequences, which they well know must await them, if they personally dare the contest with the injured people of Upper Canada. " Her Majesty's regular troops and the gallant militia, have proved each other as brothers in arms—they have once more fought side by side—they have bled and died together—their Patriotic Example will not be forgotten in Upper Canada, and their blood is not, and shall not, be shed in vain on the ground which they have so nobly defended. That blood will extinguish every kindly feeling, and will rouse to arms every loyal Upper Canadian. "The Lieut.- Governor cannot forbear, in terms of commen dation, to allude to the services of the militia which moved upon Kingston, at the first notice of the presence of a foreign enemy, and which enabled the officer commanding to detach a portion of his garrison to ensure the complete overthrow of the enemy. His Excellency holds this prompt and zealous conduct of the militia in the vicinity of Kingston, up as an example to their comrades throughout the province, and assures them of his conviction, that it only requires an exhibition of the same true and loyal feeling in all parts of the country, to ensure the over throw of the public enemy, and long continued years of peace and prosperity (By command) " RICHARD BULLOCK, " Adjutant-General Militia." ARREST OF MR. STEPHENS. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Staleyblidge, Jan. 1, 1838 STATE OF THE MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS. ASHTON-UNDER- LYNE.—As every circumstance connected ;vith the arrest of Mr. Stephens must have an intense interest at the present crisis, I take the liberty of sending you an out line of the proceedings of the people, in the neighbourhood, when they ascertained the fact of his apprehension. You cr.nnot conceive the intensity of the people's feelings upon the matter. Theylare up and doing in all the localities; ; every where there is exhibited the most splendid proofs . of the people's devotedness and attachment to their patriotic and tried friend, Mr. Stephens. Yet all is done peaceably—tran quillity reigns in all their proceedings—not the slightest dis position to commit a breach of the peace has been manifested, and the people have unanimously agreed to conduct their de liberations with propriety, and prove to their enemies how much they have been misrepresented. On Thursday evening pub lic meetings were held in Ashton and Staleybridge. At Ash ton, the Charletown meeting-room was filled to suffocation, and thousands had to return home unable to gain admission, Messri. Higgins, Johnson, Fenton, Wilde, and others addressed the meeting, which manifested its love for Mr. Stephens, by coming to the resolution of providing him with the ablest Coun sel, to afford him all the legal information connected ..vith the case. At Staleybridge, King-street Chapel, was crowded to excess. Mr. Benton occupied the chair, and Mr. Deegan cautioned them not allow their feelings to lead them to the commission of any impropriety, as it would injure the cause of Mr. Stephens. The people have acted upon the ad vice, and the consequence is, that we are calm and tranquil, i.otwithstanding the incitements of our enemies, to make us otherwise. On Friday evening, when the proceedings ter minated at the New Bailey, Messrs. Deegan, Hobson, Duke, Williamson, and Hawley returned to Ashton, and on their way, four miles from the town, they met with tens of thousands, anxious to learn the fate of Mr. Stephens. When they arrived at Henry square, the people rent the air with their acclamations when they were informed that Mr. Stephens was to be liberated on hail. This was at 10 r. m., and the people simultaneously de manded a public meeting. Mr. Deegan then addressed them from the windows of the Bush Inn, in Stamford-street, but an adjournment to the Market-place was immediately called for ; to which place the immense crowds directed their steps. Mr. Aitkin was appointed Chairman, and Mr. Deegan gave them a brief account of the day's proceedings. The people's cheers for their revered Pastor were long con tinued and tremendous. About midnight the meeting dis persed, and all returned peaceably to their respective abodes. The inhabitants of the district intended to escort Mr. Ste phens to his home on Saturday, accompanied by several bands of music, and placards to that effect were plentifully posted. Mr. Stephens, however, declined the honour of a triumphant public entry into Ashton, as ho was then in the hands of the law, and as he did not intend to address the people, publicly, until he had obtained his freedom. . A public meeting was held, at six o'clock, on the marke ground, at which not less than 15,000 persons were present, Mr. Samuel Hawley. a respectable shopkeeper in the chair. He recommended the people, in; forcible terms, to preserve the peace. Messrs. Higgins, Deegan, Johnson, Wilde, and others ad dressed the meeting, and resolutions were passed appointing a Committee to collect subscriptions, to employ Counsel to assist in the defence of Mr. Stephens. On Sunday, Mr. Ste• phens preached, according to plan, in the afternoon, at Staley bridge, and in the evening at Ashton. At Staleybridge the chapel was in danger, from the immense congregation as sembled. At Ashton, the room in which he preaches, which is com puted to hold 1,600 persons, was crowded an hour before the time for service to begin, and so many thousands had come to hear him that the Trustees of the building were apprehensive that the place would come down. Hundreds came from Old ham, four miles distant, and from Middleton, eight miles. An adjournment took place, therefore, to the Market Ground, and more than 10,000 persons had the pleasure of hearing their unflinching friend and benefactor. At both the services Mr. Stephens spoke in tho manner he usually does in the dis charge of his ministerial duties, and said not a word that could by possibilty be construed to refer to his present position. His auditors were bathed in tears ; many a brave-hearted man sobbed aloud, so affecting was the eloquence of the gifted and heaven-favoured Stephens. Last night there was a public meeting in Staleybridge, and a collection made to the amount of 101., which was handed to Mr. Stephens. There was also a splendid tea party at Hyde, at which place Mr. Stephens was present. 1,200 tickets were sold at a shilling each, and more than 500 applied who could not procure any. The room was decorated with ever greens, and adorned with numerous portraits of eminent political characters, amongst which those Of Messrs. Oastler and Stephens were most conspicuous. Several flags were placed round the walls, bearing suitable inscriptions from the Book of God. When Mr. Stephens spoke, the cheering with which he was greeted was tremendous. The whole country is in a ferment. There was a great meeting at Leigh on Friday night, more than 5,000 persons attending. They passed reso dons declaring themselves ready for the worst, but resolved to do nothing rashly. At a great number of places, in fact the whole of the towns have expressed their readiness (if the Council of the Manchester Political Union should deem it expedient) to leave work, and go in procession on Thursday to Manchester, to exhibit their irresistible moral power. Hundred of prayer meetings are being held, to supplicate the God of Heaven to overshadow Mr. Stephens with his benign influence, and deliver him from the hands of his foes. You may rest assured that the people are determined to shed the last drop of their blood, rather than allow Mr. Stephens to be sacrificed by his enemies. ( From the Times.) Manchester, Wednesday Morning, Jan. 2. Government, relying on the authority of the Manchester Guardian, which reiterated its assertions, sent down Sir F. Roe, Mr. Phillips, of the Home-office, Mr. Maule, solicitor to the Treasury, and Mr. E. Chadwick, of Somerset-house, with several Bow-street officers, to Manchester, where they re mained for some days, running " from pillar to post," con sulting Colonel Wemyss, the constables, local Whig Ma gistrates, &c. The result of their investigation was a belief that they had discovered a regularly arranged plot, on the part of Mr. Stephens, Mr. Oastler, Dr. Fletcher, of Bury, and the leading agitators of the district, seriously to set on fire the whole of the factories, if not to burn to the ground the whole of the town of Manchester. In Ashton under-Line depositions were taken by the local Magistrates in secret, and under a promise to the parties that their names should not he divulged. All the disposable troops were immediately marched into the district; the 20th being sent from Weedcm, and two troops of Dragoons from Ireland. Examinations also took place at Hyde. In the neighbourhood of Ashton no fewer than 1,000 special constables were imme diately sworn in (to whom 300 were added on Monday last, their ;umrnonses having been issued on Sunday); in Leigh not less than 1,400, and so in proportion throughout the district. With respect to the prosecution itself, it is somewhat re markable that neither the Magistrates of Manchester, Wigan, Bury, Bolton, Rochdale, nor Oldham, have been induced to interfere, Mr. Stephens having in all those towns repeatedly addressed the populace in t he most inflammatory harangues, which had been duly reported in the newspapers ; and that, instead of a charge for sedition or treason, founded, for in stance, on his speech at the to rchli g ht meeting in Bury, after such assemblages had been declared illegal by Mr. Under- Secretary Phillipp's letter, and when Mr. Stephens openly defied the Government, some six weeks'. old expressions at a country village, which have never appeared in print, no reporter having been present, should, on a common deposition before a Magistrate and his clerk, be made the formidable Liais of a mere misdemeanour. The warrant (which is said to be illegal) we understand was to have been executed with out the knowledge of the proper local functionary. Mr. Owen, however, the deputy-constable of Ashton, i ns isted on discharging the duties of his office, by which means, probably, a serious riot was prevented, and Mr. Stephens at once sur rendered himself into the hands of the law as he was walking from Ashton to Manchester in company with a friend. They entered a house and showed him the warrant, on which Mr. Stephens said, " I protest against these proceedings, but you bear what has the appearance of a legal document, and I am your prisoner. I base but one favour to ask, and if it be com- Fatible with the discharge pf your duty, I shall be obliged if you will grant it me. I have ss wife, whom I have left ex pecting my return; she is sick, and may be very much alarmed she hear of this sudden arrest from any other person than myself. Mr. Owen may accompany me, and I will be with you again in half an hour." This the officers, after consult ing together for a few minutes, refused, saying that Mrs. ...Stephens might proceed in a coach to meet Mr. Stephens at the York Hotel in Manchester, where they would be happy to allow her to have an interview with him. Mr. Stephens - a'd that was impossible, as her state of health was such as to render it dangerous for her to travel even so short a dis tance, and then, calling for pen, ink and paper, he wrote a letter to his wife, and begged the officers to proceed in the discharge of their duty. The impression is that the amount of bail demanded was excessive for a case of a mere misdemeanor, and the objec tions made to the parties who tendered it do certainly ap pear somewhat extraordinary. The sum was 2501., and both sureties were known to be worth thousands. On Satur day, when the bail was given, Mr. Kenworthy was in court ready to receive it, but the instrument requiring the names of two justices, and Mr. Garnett happening to be on the bench, he was asked so sign the document, but he at first refused ; s ving, " Oh, no, Mr. Kenworthy, it is your case, I will have nothing to do with it :" on learning, however, that it was a :mere matter of routine, and that Mr. Stephens's liberation d, pended on it, he consented to put his name to it. When Mr. Stephens was released, a great many of his friends were waiting to cheer him ; but, desiring to avoid all sstentation, he got into a hackney coach and drove to the `litre Inn. Mr. Oastler here addressed his friends, who had arrived from the different towns in South Lancashire, en treating that they would forbear any manifestation in Mr, Stephens's favour in their several localities, s.S the only way in which they could serve him was by being p eae areakers. They promised they would do so, and pnt a stop, if possible to the various meetings contemplated throughout the district in the evening. Mr. Stephens was in the h an d s o f British law, which was powerful as a roaring lion in asserting the in nocence of those who were not guilty, as it was in punishing t h e ps rjured witnesses who had appeared against him . He begged' they would not e x p ect Mr. Ste p hens to address one ord to them, in st.L.'.'se name he returned them thanks for the kind feeling they had show::: He particularly r equested they would allow Mr. Stephens and lat.;:::If to leave immediately, as every moment was under the circumstances' of consequence to Mr. Stephens, and without any of them following, as no thing could be more improper or un p leasan t to the ir friend's, feelings than anything like commotion in the streets of Man chester. Accordingly they all remained in the inn, while Mr. Oastler And Mr. Stephens walked away unobserved, hired a coach, and drove off to Dukinfiold. It is a singular fact, winle it is creditable to their delicacy of feeling, that however eager his friends were to see him on Lis return, so careful were they not to implicate him by any personal demonstration, or intrude upon the brief leisure Which the interval between his liberation and approaching trial allowed for the affecting duties of his domestic circle, that not a single individual in the whole of the Ashton district called to make any inquiry at his house. STALEYBRIDGE. _ . . Mr. Stephens (who, our readers should know, has three chapels under his immediate charge, with twenty-six assistant preachers, whose appointments, together with his own, are indicated to the public by a quarterly printed plan, as among the Wesleyans) kept his appointment on Sunday afternoon at this place. The chapel was crowded to excess, and the street leading to it was filled with persons, who found it im possible to gain admittance. He preached in his usual man ner, as though officiating in a ministry which had never been interrupted, and never once making the remotest reference to the subject of his apprehension. In the evening Mr. Stephen. proceeded to Ashton, to fulfil his appointment in that town. He was, however, met on his way by a messenger, who informed him that in consequence of the immense crowds congregated around the place, the chapel itself being filled to suffocation an hour bole."' the time of preaching, the trustees, alarmed for the safetrt-f tee people and building, had adjourned the congregation to the market place, where the services were conducted in the usual way ; which, in the stillness of the night, and beneath the chastened light of the moon, the vast multitude preserving the most reve rential silence, had a very imposing and solemn effect. There were certainly not less than 10,000 persons present on this oc casion. The subject of Mr. Stephens's discourse was the au thority of the Word of God in all matters of faith and practice in the supremacy of the Divine will, against which there could be r. 3 appeal, either in man's private, social, or political relations. He said he was a man of one book ; onitheWord of God he would take his stand. By that Word all actions must be weighed, to that standard all laws must be brought, and no earthly power could of right set up any authority against it. Whoever did so set himself up in the stead of God, was the anti-Christ of Scrip ture, as such was fighting against God, and by all who be lieved in God was steadfastly to be resisted. The New Poor Law was introduced as an illustration of this great point. He solemnly denounced God's curse upon the people of Ashton if they ever suffered that law to be established amongst them; and God's blessing, he said, would rest on them if they refused to allow it to come within their borders. LATEST FROM HARRISBURG, DEC. 10. The cars from York last night brought us intelligence from York up to yesterday morning. About eleven hundred troops had arrived from Philadelphia and five hundred from Lancaster county, and the city was entirely quiet. We have slips from the office of the Reporter, one of the Loco Foco papers of Harrisburg. They contain but little in telligence of consequence, except the account of a large meet ing of the Loco Focos of Berks county, in which the conduct of the Whig Members of the Legislature is highly denounced. To show the spirit and temper of these proceedings we select the following from the resolutions adopted : Resolved, That our thanks are due to the firm and intrepid Democratic Representatives who stood out for the purity of elections, and for the rights of the people; and that we pledge to them the support of the Yeomanry of Old Berks, come what may. Resolved, That we view with horror and indignation the infamous attempt of Joseph Ritner, to place the General Assembly under the protection of armed bands, and regard that measure as fraught with danger to the peace, and with insult to the dignity of the Commonwealth. Resolved, That this is peculiarly a time that demands of every man who professes to be a Republican, a stern uncom promising devotion to the principles of Republicanism--prin ciples identical with those for which our fathers fought and bled on the battle field of the Revolution, and now jeopardized by the criminal ambition of certain leaders of the Federal party. Resolved, That as a portion of the constituency of Berks county, but representing the feeling of her vast majority, we do instruct our Senators and Representatives to yield their assent to no compromise whatever, whereby the rights of the Democratic Members of the Senate and House from the county of Philadelphia, shall be in the slightest degree in fringed, or whereby the adaption of the amendments to the Constitution shall be defeated. Resolved, That be it recommended to our Democratic Committees of Safety, now at Harrisburg, to accept the ser vices of 3,000 minute :nen, to be ready to act at the shortest notice, as the emergency of the times may require. Resolved, That we pledge our lives, fortunes, and sacred honours to support the Constitution and the laws against all usurpation. Harrisburg, Dec. 10, half-past twelve o'clock. The troops marched into town yesterday evening, took pos session of the arsenal, and then took up quarters in different parts of the town. The town is in considerable excitement. The order of the day is that no uniforms appear within the railing of the yard of the Capitol. The Loco Foco party mei in the Lower House this morn ing appointed a Committee to wait on the Governor, and inquire for what the military were called out, and at whose expense. The Whigs met at Gleim's. They have agreed to meet in the Hall to-morrow, and open the returns of the new Convention. M'Cahen is arrested by the Sheriff of our County, and was given up by the Commander, as you will recollect he appeared here this morning in uniform. He of course comes out on bail. Several others will be arrested to-day. I will write again this evening. I forgot to mention that no prospect of compromise appears—both parties determined. ARRESTS FOR TREASON. Charles F. Meunch, of this place, Charles Pray, of the county of Philadelphia, and John Savage, of the city of Phi ladelphia, hare been arrested for treason, and entered into re cognizance for their appearance at trial. Other arrests are going on—M'Cahen, the incendiary from the Poqt-office of Philadelphia, learning that writs were out, precipitately left here ti:s morning. LATEST FROM THE PACIFIC. Extract from a letter, dated Valparaiso, Sept., 1838, re ceived by th• Philip Hone the 21st August the Chi lians entered Lima, after defeating the Peruvians at the en trance of that city. Get;: Obregozo, with about 600 cavalry, fled to Zurin, 20 miles from Lima, and Nieto retreated to the Castle of Callao, with about seven hundred men, where he was deposed by his troops, who declared in favour of General Santa Cruz. There were at last dates in the Castle about 1,200 men, and should the Chilians not succeed in defeating them, their situation will be very precarious, as General Santa Cruz was said to Ise within twenty days' march of Lima ,4th 9,000 men. It is impossible to form any opinion of the result of the expedition. Most persons believe the Chilina army vvii2 be entirely destroyed." NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, Dac, 12. The upward 7 ,, - .‘ndency which has existed in the Stock Market for the last fe7 days continues, a further Improvement being perceptible in the 01es of most descriptions to-day, and a fair extent of business has ~ ;:rain been transacted. The ad vance realized to-day was in United States Bank Stock per cent., the closing price being 120 ; in Delaware and Hudson per cent. ; Kentucky Bank 1 1 ; ;;North American Trust Co. ; Mohawk Railroad 1 ; and Ps.terson Railroad 1 per cent. The rate of Exchange on London for the packet leaving to-morrow for Liverpool rates at 0i a 10 per cent. premium, the former rate being chiefly for Southern bills; the amount of business transacted has yet been moderate. On Friday afternoon an inquest wns held at Hull, or r the body of Jackson Buckton, who had been in the errre;loy of Mr. Bettison, brewer, and came by his death Iron: the etTects of carbonic acid gas, through having preci pitated bimseif into a porter vat, about fourteen feet deep, which had not bee: opened since last April or May. The bright liquor had all i,een drawn off at that time, but the residuum was kept there, as usual. The entrance to the vat was only just large enough for a man to creep in at, and the residuum of the porter always generated carbonic acid gas. It was customary to let down a candle into these - rats before entering them to test their state. This deceased had always, it appeared, done before, and he had been four teen years in Mr. Bettison's employment. He had been in a desponding state for some time past in consequence of an illness which had laid him up. He was a man of in temperate habits previously to this illness, but had not been ;l een in a state of intoxication since his return to work. He l a c' been observed to be in more than ordinarily low spirits the day , before his death. The jury returned a verdict of 4' Temporary Insanity." An inquest was held yesterday, at the London Hos pital, on the body of a man named Katen, whose death was occasioned by inhaling the fumes of burning charcoal. It appears that deceased was employed as a watchman on a portion of the ground now clearing in the neighbourhood of the Commercial-road for the construction of the Blackwall railway, and that about three weeks ago he had lighted, early in the evening, a fire of charcoal in a temporary shed, in which there was no chimney or other place for ventila tion. Shortly afterwards he had gone to sleep, and in the me ;-ning was found in a state of insensibility, with some portion of his body burned, his clothes having caught fire. Be was carried to the hospital, where he lingered till Sa turday las!? when he expired. Verdict—" Accidental Death." Th,; deceased has left a widow and a large family. Be was formerly a tradesman in good circumstances. DESTRLITION Or SHEEP.—In the neighbour hood of Maidstone, last Sunday morning, two greyhounds sallied out, attacked several flocks of sheep, and left, wher ever they went, not a few killed and wounded in the field. The dogs themselves eventually perished under the blows of the incensed parties , whose loss is serious ; and in the sto machs of the animals was discovered a quantity of mutton ;nixed with wool. Air. John Van Buren, son of the President of the United States, was in Greenock for a short time, on Friday last. " Prince John," as the New York Herald ca ll s him, proceeded to Port Glasgow to see the British Queen steam-ship. He left Glasgow on a visit to our northern metropolis on the following day.—Greenock Ad- vertiser. The Hertfordshire peasants are notorious for their want of urbanity. A lady, while on a visit to a friend re siding in the country, had, during her rides on horseback in the neighbourhood, become perfectly aware of the boorishness of the peasantry. One day, when riding un attended, she came to a by-gate of her host's park, which bad not a lodge. A chubby boy was swinging to and fro upon it. She ventured to beg that he would hold it open while she passed. To her utter amazement, he did so I Delighted with his complacency, she gave him a shilling, observing, " It is quite clear, my lad, from your civility, that you are not a native of Hertfordshire." The reply was this, " Thee'rt a liar—l be I" THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 3, 1839. HYDE. On Monday Mr. Stephens attended a tea party of 1,000 I held at this place, whose recent torch-light meeting called forth the famous manifesto of Mr. Under- Secretary Phillipps. On this occasion Mr. Stephens (who, if not a member of the Temperance Society, has, we have been informed, for three years adhered to the determination of drinking nothing stronger than tea or broth till the New Poor-law is repealed ) addressed the meeting at some length. He took a review of the past, and dwelt on the prospects of the future. The old year, he observed, was running right merrily away; the new was coming right hopefully in. They ought to be glad, for they had done their duty ; they ought to be thankful, for God had blessed them. They ought to hope, for his Word was ful filling fast. The factory system, which he had so long de nounced, was now doomed, and only awaited the Legislative record of the nation's will to decide its fate. The New Poor law was breaking down in those parts of the country where it had been said to work the best ; and in those parts, thank God, it had not yet been introduced, and it never should be. One attempt had been made, and by the stratagem of the enemy had succeeded, so far as the formation of a Board of Guardians went for the purpose of carrying the provisions of the Regis tration Act into effect; but no sooner did the people discover the trick, than they fell to work, and did their work, so that the board was broken up, and the Ashton Union was now dis solved. Nor would it be possible to find five men in the whole parish to accept the infamous and degraded office, though 50,000/. of secret service money were offered per man, and the whole B,itish army encamped within half-a-mile of the town. No 1 they would look at yonder flag; they would take it from the wall on which it peacefully hung ; they would marshal themselves beneath it, and would take up the words it bore, as they followed the standard bearer who carried it, shouting as they went— " For children and wife We will war to the knife, Down with the bastiles, Stephens for ever I" MEETING AT BRADFORD, YORKSHIRE. BRADFORD, WEDNESDAY NIORNINO.—In consequence of the arrest of the Rev. Joseph Rayner Stephens, the Radicals of Bradford convened a public meeting to lie held in the Odd Fellows' Hall, on Monday evening, Dec. 31. About 1,600 persons were present. Mr. Clarkson, solicitor, chairman, opened the proceedings in an excellent speech, inwhich he commented at length on the law of treason, and the necessity of a good and effective position being taken up by the work ing classes in the securing of an amelioration of their condi tion. Mr. P. Bussey moved the first resolution :—" That so far as we are acquainted with the conduct of that indefatigable patriot, the Rev. Joseph Rayner Stephens, we are led to place implicit confidence in his sterling honesty and perseve rance. That we condemn the base conduct of the Whigs in arresting him at this time, and pledge ourselves to give him every legal support in our power," which was carried without a dissentient. _ Mr. RicriAansox, from Manchester, ascended the platform, and was loudly cheered. His speech occupied an hour and three- quarters in the delivery ;he went over the entire of the cii cumstances of the arrest and examination in a forcible and eloquent manner, and concluded by a fervid and eloquent ap peal to the people to stand up in the defence of their constitu tional liberties, their true friends, and especially the Rev. J. R. Stephens, which was responded to by loud and continued cheering. Mr. J. BROOKE proposed the following resolution :—" That there now more than ever exists a necessity for every man to act with energy in the carrying out iof the principle of Radi calism, we being fully convinced that any relinquishment of our duties at this time would prove destructive to the attaia ment of the objects for which we contend," which was very ably seconded by Mr. Bowden, and carried unanimously. Three cheers were given for Mr. Stephens, and the meet. ing peaceably separated a little before twelve o'clock. NIONTON-GREEN. This district, which contains a large manufacturing popula tion, being in the vicinity of Eccles, Warsley, and Patricroft, near the seat of Lord Francis Egerton, intend to meet on the Green to-morrow, to discuss similar topics to those al luded to in the article from Rochdale. Lord Francis Eger ton and the respectable inhabitants of the neighbourhood, it is stated, do not seem to like the idea of the intended muster, and the parties being in want of a hustings, were obliged to resort to Manchester for the loan of a cart for the occasion, the farmers being either afraid that their vehicles might be contaminated, or that their landlords would object to such accommodation being afforded to the agitators. This was the neighbourhood to which Mr. Stephens was taken after his apprehension. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF MRS. MACLEAN, LATE MISS LANDON, OR L.E.L., AT CAPE COAST, WESTERN AFRICA. (From the Watchman,) We have been furnished with the following extract of a let ter of the Rev. Thomas Freeman, Wesleyan Missionary at Cape Coast, containing the announcement of this calamitou s event. The sympathy of a farge portion of the public, as well es of her immediate friends, will be awakened by the circum stances of the death of this talented and estimable lady : " Cape Coast Town, October 16, 1838. " Here I would gladly close my letter, but, alas alas I I feel it my painful duty to record the awfully sudden death of poor Mrs. Maclean—not occasioned by any sickness peculiar to this climate (her general health having been very good from the day she landed until yesterday morning), when she was found dead in her room, lying close to the door, having in her hand a bottle which had contained prussic acid, a portion of which she had taken (as was proved by the surgeon), the re reinainder being spilt on the floor. She had been seen, a short time before, in apparent good health and spirits. A letter w as found, which she had written to a friend in Scotland, dated the same morning, in which she expresses herself as satisfied and pleased with Capo Coast and its inhabitants, and as find i.,g everything here much better than she had expected. (She tild me the same eight or ten days ago, or thereabouts.) On the body being thus found a jury was immediately summoned, composed of the European merchants of the town (I was not among them), and the nature of the evidence given was s ich as they considered would authorise diem to give a verdict t , ) the following effect:--' It is thought that she was seized with spasms in the stomach (with which she was often troubled, Ling subject to them), and took an over-dose of prussic acid, as she was found dead on the floor of her bed-room close to the door, with the small bottle in her hand. It is pipposed that she took an over-dose, which killed her.' Mr. Maclean bad been very ill with the same complaint ( the spasms.), while she only felt them for a short time at nce, not enough to make her ill. Indeed, whenever I have a , en her (which was often), she always appeared in high health and spirits. We all deeply deplore the event. She was a per s.ni of an amiable disposition. To me she was very kind, espe cially during my late illness, in sending me any little thing (such as dried fruit, &c.) which I stood in need of. I fondly hoped she would have been spared ; for, though her literary pursuits would most probably have hindered her from paying much attention to our poor degraded Fantee females, yet even the mere presence of an Europ ean l a dy is of vast importance in this place. I have dwelt longer than I ought, perhaps, on this melancholy catastrophe, be cause I feared lest it should olrrate . injuriously on the mi n d s of any m i ss i onar i es or their s Ives whom the Committee ". may i nten d to send to this station.'The spasms are by no means pecu li ar t o t hi s c li ma t e ; th e only complaints which are peculiar and dangerous here are the fever and dysentery. Epidemics arc scarcely known at Cape C oast. For the particulars of the p u gilistic contest between 'Pass Parker and Britton, see Bell's Life in London of Sunday next, January 6.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT AND Loss OF LIFE AT MANCHESTER. — On Sunday morning last a frightful acci dent occurred at the brewery of Messrs. Burgess and \Vheater, in Salford. It appears that Messrs. Burzes; and Co. have recently erected some new building; in Back Hampson-street, which report said were in a very unsafe condition ; the consequence of which was that numbers crowded to the spot for the purpose of gratifying their curiosity. The event proved that the report was not with out foundation, for at the time specified a largo portion of the building fell, and it must be considered a most merciful circumstance that the catastrophe did not occur until the bulk of the visitors had departed, as in that case the loss of life must have been fearful to contemplate. As it is, however, several unfortunate fellow-creatures have been prematurely hurried into eternity. The known sufferers are a Mr. Spencer, the traveller of the firm, a beer-shop keeper named Rutter, and a friend of his ; but an individual hav ing been dug out who was not known, it is feared that many others are underneath the rubbish. Mr. Spencer, with Rutter and two other persons, went under an arch which it was stated had given way, for the purpose of ascertaining the truth of such report, and had scarcely been there more than a minute ere they were instantaneously overwhelmed by a mass of building, which, without the slightest intima eon, such as cracking, &c., buriedo them beneath its mire As soon as some slight degree of order was restored, stre nuous exertions were made, by digging and clearing away the fallen matter, to get at the bodies ; but up to four o'clock on Sunday afternoon the persons employed had not succeeded in recovering one. The utmost excitement pre vailed amongst the crowd collected around the brewery. The Gloucester Hotel comes to the hammer on the 2211 instant, caused only by the lamented death of the late spirited individual, Mr. Brierly, who raised it from a house of little note to be accounted (without one exception) tho most comfortable hotel in Brighton. It is also one of the best regulated establishments, with unusual regard to cl':arn liness, civility, and moderate charges.

LONDON : THURSDAY EVENING JANUARY 3, 1839. All the accounts we have received to-day from the leighbourhood of Manchester confirm the impression we have endeavoured to give our readers of the im portance of the arrest of Mr. STEPHENS. A writer in the Times states that he has sixteen pastors under his superintendence, and that he is at the head of a large sect. He is another WESLEY, but living in closer and more intimate union with his congregations than his predecessor, and wielding a far greater power over their affections. He addresses himself to ,heir worldly interests and to their strongest passions, and their just exasperation against many of our poli- ical institutions, places them heart and soul un— der his command. The number of towns anti townships where there have already been meetings are so numerous, that though their names have been sen: us, we are obliged to describe them in general terms. Already they have extended into Yorkshire ; the promptitude with which they have been held, speak ing volumes as to the zeal and organization of the people. They have not needed any external impulse., There has been no combined press calling on them to• meet and support Mr. STEPHENS. Spontaneously, and with a rapidity unexampled, they have rallied ratuml The price of Corn rose in the London Markets. on Monday, 2s. per quarter, but, the averages prNisbed to-day show a decline as compared to those o f last week, of 2d. ; they being for the week, 78s. 2d. F 0 the six weeks, however, they are 765. id., or Bd. high° than last week. Wklether the price will continue P' t some time to rise, will depend partly on theseason, 0 0° ` partly on tbP, currency, to which the Bank, it is said , has apv,Vied its all-powerful screw. If it make MOr.ey scarce, and, employment grow slack in nonse' quence, the prices may retrograde, and if they recede from such a cause, the fall may bring no relief, but as of suffering. We perceive by a Liverpool Paper, that the CIO' dian prisoners are not to be brought up under th e ' writs of Habeas Corpus until Tuesday next. The. writs are made returnable immediately, but the Habea s Corpus Act gives the gaoler twenty days when he 15' at a distance of more than 100 miles from London'' So long a time would scarcely have been given if ra il. : roads had been in exi stence at the time of passing till" Act. In twenty days, I . l ite prisoners might be trans'ported by a v i n d iP":tve Executive, and the Ha Corpus would utterly futile. It app "..,rs by the affidavits upon which the writs vre re °bta; ".ied, that one of the prisoners (PARxEp.) state o t , .iiat neith er h e , nor e i g h t ot h er o f t h e pr i soners have , any trial ; yet they are sent over as prisoners under se li . tence of tra ns p ortat i on . I t i s , h owever , ' a b surd to talk o f a sentence o f t ranspor t at i on w i t h out a tr i al ; an d if the case is returned by the gaoler as stated by the prisoner' we should think the discharge of the prisoners is cert" 3; There is no great improbability in the account glYe e by the prisoner, wh en we cons id er t h at t h e l aws fisi/ been silent ever s i nce th e commencement o f t h e , ins'?

They have needed rather a rein than a spur. At all the meetings the first care seems to have been to preach patience and calmness to the multitude. Our Correspondent from Staleybridge, who has sent us his name, probably exaggerates. the number of persons who may have been present at; the different meetings, and have collected at different Chapels, still:there can be no doubt that the agive.tion is deep and extensive. One fact he mentions, ought, we think, to be particularly impressed, on the public. Hundreds, he says, o f prayer-meetings have been held to implore the GOD o f H eaven to over shadow Mr. STEPHENS with protection. He de scribes the people as speaking of him in the most en thusiastic terms, calling him their friend and benefac tor; and he describes the polik:,co-religious enthusiasms as pervading the congregPAed masses of all Lancashire. If the Political Unio n of Manchester have but spoke' , the word, Mr, STEPHENS will be attended this day by such a congregation as has not, in modern times, been collected. Belie- . • -,elieving that there is much truth in this, we re gret :much to learn from our Correspondent that o ther' warrants have been actually issued against some of the friends and associates of Mr. STEPHENS. Use r .... if it be resolved to bring the law into conflict wit l , l the masses ; if we are to have its antiquated provis : Aons di' rected against the leaders of the multitude:by such bright administrators of the law as Mr. KENWORTHY, we are not far distant from a serious commotion. There seems to be but one opinion entertained, of the whole proceeding hitherto, and it confirms what we have said' The Magistrates have completely bungled the matter, and it would have been as wise in them to have take!' the Emperor NICHOLAS by the beard in his palace as to have arrested Mr. STEPHENS unless thel could bring against him some overwhelming evidence of his guilt. In another article the effect of railroads , ' in influencing the provisions of law, is atriking)l exemplified by a fact concerning the Habeas Corpus Act, and a similar principle may be every where traced , so altering circumstances as to make the dead letter of the law, however wisely contrived, contrary t°' the living spirit of society. If, therefore, the wrong headed and ignorant Magistrates of Lancashire persist in forcing on the Tory principle of coercion, and in a Tory manner, the antiquated and tyrannical laws of a borough-amp: l og Parliament against the en' thusiastic follrnvers and friends of Mr. Sr EpHENs/ ‘, the cbil; that is yet unborn" will rue tb.e day they Ca7:le to such a fatal resolution. We may take this opportunity of informing efi e Post that the reason why we did not insert its " 'gar tronomical" argument, showing that the Corn-law s kept up wages, was that it i s p rec i se l y the came argume° the Herald had previously used, 'wanting filo Hfr ?aids ingenuity. The Post must 'oe wholly ignorant ° the controversy if it be not aware of this fact, and tile ° ' aware that the poor fallacy of the Herald had been re' fated by Mr. Wm. PAULTON, by the excellent paper e of A W , ,iking Man, which appeared in The Sun ° Nov by the Glasgow Argus, by Col. THompso lo had by perhaps a score of other writers, including or" selves ; and it is rather too much for our Contempoo4 to expect that we should copy his word-chop,ingt after its fallacy has been over and over again. •a er noni monstrated. The Corn-laws diminish the 's u pply ° food and enhance its price, and to assert that increar ing the supply of food and lowering its price would 1# injurious to the labouring classes is a paradox wh' cli the wretched jokes of the Post will never make the labouring classes comprehend.

Bank Stock, 120, The intelligence from Canada, if true, is rather of an un favourable nature ; fresh Patriot movements, it appears, have recommenced, and several skirmishes between the Patriots and British troops, have taken place, in which it is reported the former have been successful ; it is also stated that the Patriots to the number of 900 men, crossed over the Detroit river, to Sandwich, and burnt that village to the ground, and the Bri tish steam-boat Thames. We understand Prince, Ward, and Co., of New York, are about getting up a large Bank, under the new law, capital 50 or 100 millions of dollars. The arrival this morning of most importance is that from the United States by the Virginian, and from Monte Video. By the former we are inundated with a number of reports of another invasion of the Canadas by the rebels, as well as of the British troops being defeated. Our well-informed Ame rican merchants in the City do not give the least credit to the above accounts. Even the letter from New York, received at the North and South American Coffee house, from a person who in general is very correct in the information he communicates, also discredits the reports; in all probability there might have been some skirmishes, which have been exaggerated into battles and desperate fighting ; but we are well persuaded that in this case the re. bels have come off second best. From Monte Video of the 21st October the accounts are, that a convention has been entered into to deliver up Monte Video to . Rivero, the late President, Orebe retiring to Buenos Ayres. THU FUNDS.

( From the Echo Francais of Rio .Itheiro to Nov. 11. ) The revolution achieved at Monte Video will termi nate the rivalship between Rivera and Orebe, who has succombed. Grebe had the imprudence to agree with Roasts that the Argentines should occupy Paysander owl Monte Video, On the 17th, the chief officers of the troops in the garrison in the capital, indignant that their President should compromise the interest of the coun try, addressed to him an energetic representation on that subject. The moment the President read it, he named a depu tation to treat with Fructuoso, who refused to listen to any pro.. position, without the dismission of Orebe. On the 19th, the deputation returned to the camp with a promise made by Orebe to resign the Presidency, and on the 21st to retire to Buenos Ayres, after which it was stipulated that Monte Video and Paysander should be occupied by Fructuoso, who promised to respect persons and property. According to the last advices from Rio Grande, nothi ng o f importance had occurred, and the contending farces occupied their previous positions. The season for opening the campaign is now at hand, and further advices are awaited with anxiety. The intelligence received from the other province of the em pire is on the whole satisfactory. The British Market is not quite so good as in the early part of the morning, when Consols were 94i t i for the open ing ; at present may be quoted 94. There have been reports current at Bahia of an intended rising of the negroes, but they proved to be unfounded. Need ful precautions have been taken to render any suc h attempt abortive.
