The Bill has received many hard knocks, however, at ward and district election ;meetings; and one or two incidents have occurred worthy of note—the first of which con sists in the fact of William and Ellen Crofts having left Boston, and taken passage at Portland for Hali fax, with the intention, it is said of going to England to reside. Frederick Douglas has been delivering lectures against the fugitive law in various parts of the country, and he is said to have been well attended, and to have produced a favourable impression. The other day a couple of "slave catchers" arrived at Chicago, in pursuit of two female fugitives, who had, however. left a few hours in advance. The men pursued their journey to Detroit, where. they expected to meet their victims, but the telegrapi we.s immedi ately at v 0.4, and, long before the arrival e,f tFe "gentlemen from the south," a steamer bail been chartered, and had started off to meet the steamer having the females on hoard, :and they were taken off and ccnveyed to the Canada shore in safety. In this state, heretofore the stronghold of the " protection to native induqry" the tables have been completely turned by the elections for state officers and representatives, which camp off the day before yesterday. The democrats and free• seilers combined on one ticket, and they have elected a ma jority in the State Senate, securing the election of an " opposition" or.anti-Whig Governor and Lieutenant- Governor; and, so far as returns have been received, the Whigs have elected for the House of Representa tives of the state 133 members, while the free-soilers and democrats have elected 135. A number of places are yet to be heard from ; but a leading %Vhig paper says—" The House (of Representatives) will be pro• bably nearly equally divided; but the opposition will have a majority on joint ballot, securing a U. S. sena tor, if they can unite on a candidate." Mr. Horace Mann, who has been most bitterly op; posed by the Whigs in the eighth district of the state, on account of his opposition to Mr. Webster and the pro-slavery measures of the Government, has carried his election by a small majority. Now that the elections are over, some here are hinting at a " Union meeting," without distinction of party, and if held soon, it is expected that Mr. Webster will be brought on the stand on the occasion. The object hinted at is, that an opportunity may be afforded "for ascertaining the true state of feeling on the subject of allegiance to the constitution and the laws of the land." Mr. George Thompson, M.P., is to have his " re ception" on the evening of the 15th inst. at Faneuil Hall. It is to be " A Gathering 'of the Friends of Reform, International Amity, and Universal Eman cipation." The call is signed, "On Behalf of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society," by a com mittee of five of its leading members. Mr. Thompson has issued fa notice for a course of five lectures on " British India." A couple of extraordinary human curiosities have recently been brought here, and are now on exhibi• tion. They consist of a boy and girl of an almost extinct race of Central America. They have been well described as the most outré looking objects ever brought to this country. The boy is 32 inches in height, and weighs 161b5., and in the opinion of emi nent medical authority is about 10 years old The girl is 28 inches in height, weighs 141b5., and is be lieved to be about 8 years of age. Their heads are not larger than a new born infant's, and they may be almost said to be destitute of foreheads while their noses are finely developed, straight and long, and pro ject at a well-defined angle. Their eyes are full, dark, and lustrous. Their heads are covered with strong, dark hair, which descends foreward nearly to the eyebrows ; the face very sharp, the upper lip pro jecting, and the chin receding in a corresponding degree. They are said to belong to the surviving remnant of an ancient order of priesthood, called " Kasnas," which, by constant intermarriage within their own caste, has !dwindled down to a few indi viduals, diminutive in stature and imbecile in intel• lect. .Their heads and faces resemble exactly the figures on the bas-reliefs on the temple ruins de scribed in Stephens's " Central America." These children are lively, playful, and affectionate but all attempts to tea c h th em a wor d of English have hitherto proved unsuccessful. They can only utter a few gibberish sounds. Last evening, in the course of a visit to their rooms, a medical friend who accom panied me held out his watch to the hoy, when he instantly placed his ear in contact with it, as if to listen to its ticking; and at one time, as he turned affectionately towards a little girl among the visitors, I told the girl to " kiss him," when he immediately placed himself in an attitude and protruded his face ; the child, however, withdrew frightened, and I held my cheek to him, when he instantly approached and greeted me with a kiss. They both—hut particularly the boy—here a regard to their " keeper," and at all times readily recognise him as he calls them by name. It is not improbable that these children will be car ried to England shortly for exhibition. N ° .18,153. t k, NOVEMBER 28, 1850. LONDON HURSDA TY 0 -Li 4., it. 4 4 4 9 [PRICE SD. PUBLICATIONS.

THE PAPAL AGGRESSION. The following "Pastoral Letter': has been ad dressed to "the faithful" of the diocese of Birming ham and Nottingham, by William Bernard, 0 5.8., " Bishop of Birmingham, and Administrator of the Diocese of Nottingham : William Bernard, by the Grace of God and the favour of the Apostolic See, Bishop of Birmingham and Ad ministrator of the Dioceses of Nottingham, to our dearly beloved the clergy, secular and regular, and the faithful of the said dioceses, health and benediction in the Lord. Dearly Beloved,—" Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all manner of evil against you, untruly, for My sake; be glad and re joice, for your reward is very great in heaven." God our Saviour, who cannot deceive or fail, has given us this sacred promise, this heavenly consolation. He has said it to His children of all times. Ha says it to us, and He cannot come short of His words; rather will He far exceed His promises. Hence do we raise our eyes to Him who is at the right hand of the Father, and abound in consolation. He says, " Have confidence; I have overcome the world;" and He is with us, as He was with Peter, to uphold us on the troubled waters. The rage of unbelief is unchained against us; but the angst of the Lord, who closed the mouths of lions that they should do no hurt, is by our side. What have we seen? We have seen the Vicar of God and Chief Pastor of Chris tendom and the prelates of our Church held up in bur lesque, and their names and sacred offices exposed to mockery and ignominy in every imaginable shape; and that even in the public streets of our metropolis, the guardians of peace and of public decency looking on, we have seen our holiest, our dearest, our most saving truths and mysteries blasphemed by deeds as well as - words before the ignorant crowd, and not a hand of any of those to whom God has given his power on earth put forth to protect the religion of the greatest Christian community within her Majesty's empire from those pro fanations. The Catholic nations of Europe have also seen how they, in their dearest and most intimate feel ings, have been insulted; and not themselves only, but their chief pastor also; not their chief pastor only, but even their God. reap the reward hereafter: that you give calm and rea sonable explanations to all who ask them of you in a becoming spirit: that you pray for them that persecute you, and do good to them that speak evil of you, as the children of your Father who is in heaven: that you set forth the example of your faith in your lives, and look forward to the blessed reward which God has promised to those who love Him and endure for His bake.

RIOT AT BIRKENHEAD. LIVERPOOL, Nov. 27.—A meeting to address her Majesty on the subject of the Papal aggression was to have taken place to-day at Birkenhead. It nad been conve:2,d on the reeptisition of the Protestant inhabitants to the magistrates of the Hundred of Wirrall ; and from the number of Roman Catholics resident in the neigh bourhood, principally navigators employed at the Dock works, it was generally expected that some opposition would be offered. The place in which the meeting was to be held is called the Town-hall, but is an unpretend ing edifice by no means adequate to the rising preten sions of Birkenhead. The room when quite full would scarcely hold more than 200. It had therefore been de termined, in case the attendance should be very large, to adjourn to the Market-house adjacent, which is a very large handsome building and would hold many thousands. The hour fixed for the commencement of the proceedings was one o'clock, but before twelve a vast concourse of people, principally Irish navi gators, some of them armed with thick bludgeons, made their appearance in front of the hall and seemed bent upon creating a disturbance. In the vicinity the greatest consternation prevailed and many of the shops were closed. The Birkenhead police force only consists of some 20 men, and were as nothing com pared with the mob collected. The yells and impreca tions of the multitude, which because every moment more and more intense, were perfectly fearful, and the most serious apprehensions were entertained. Mr. Dowling, the head constable of Liverpool, had been applied to for assistance ; and fortunately about half-past twelve o'clock a section of 30 police arrived, under the super intendence of Mr. Ride, formerly of the Birmingham and metropolitan police. This gentleman displayed considerable tact in the disposal of his men, who were received as they entered the town with cries of " Down with the Liverpool police," &c. As they endeavoured to clear a way to the principal entrance they met with considerable resistance, but ultimately made a passage to the door. At this period it would appear that the police had the upper hand, and no doubt, had their force been a little stronger, they would have effectually quelled the disturbance. However, a cry was raised among the mob to go for assistance and to " arm." Some of the men then went away, and shortly after wards returned with their number considerably aug mented, and with bludgeons, consisting of iron rails, pokers, and wooden staves, in their hands; others car ried large stones, which abound in the neighbourhood, and as they pressed forward their yells and cries were most alarming.

If you had been of thu world the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world therefore the world hateth you. Remember my word that I said to you—The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, you also will they persecute." We are instructed, we are divinely prepared, we see our Lord's truth in these very things— our confidence is strengthened; and our Comforter and Strength has also said, "Fear not, I am always with you." What have we heard? We have heard the First Minister of the Crown pouring out such contempt as a frail mortal can against what we know to be the most holy and sanctifying gifts of our dearest Saviour. %Ve have heard men of the highest station striving to inflame the minds of men, and to raise a moral, or even a legal ized persecution, against us. We have heard numbers of her Majesty's clergy—of those who range themselves beneath the spiritual headship of our Sovereign—men who profess themselves to be the ministers of truth and justice, and peace, and charity, urged on by this high example, contending in a heated rivalry of calumnies, of insults, and of every manner of wild misstatements, against the truths wo profess, and the mysteries which console us; against the spiritual acts of our Chief Pastor and against ourselves. They know well, those especially who, from their position, are bound to protect the liberty and peace of all who inhabit the land—know well that, as a body, we are patient, and enduring, and forgiving; that we can neither be stirred to disaffec i tion by their acts, nor diverted from our allegiance to our Sovereign; that our loyalty and submission to the Crown and State is an obligation of our con science, and that our fidelity to our spiritual is the sure guarantee of our loyalty to our temporal head; that in proportion to our carefulness in giving to God the things that are God's is our prompt disposition to render unto Casar the things that are Caviar's. These things do they know and calculate upon. What other body of her Majesty's subjects, as numerous as ours, if another Christian communion could be found so largely extended over this vast empire, would they have dared to treat as we are treated ? For well do they know what energies and passions would be set in motion, which our holy religion forbids us to indulge in. And what, dearly beloved, is the cause of this out burst upon our Christian and national liberties ? Sims ply that those bishops who have so long ruled over you are now called by English instead of by foreign titles. Because our Church in England is no longer plied in en exceptional, but in the usual and regular order of its divine constitution. Because we aro no longer left to be riled in our spiritual affairs in that extraordinary way in which the Church is provided for in Pagan lands, or where much persecution is raised against her. Literally, because we ourselves had concluded that we were no longer under persecution. Because, acting on this con elu,ion, the Pope has withdrawn the exercise of his powers as immediate bishop from this country, and left us to be governed by our own bishops ; because he has left these episcopal powers to be exercised by Englishmen which he used to exercise himself. It is idle to talk of the division of the country as a new thing; it has always been divided by us. These are but lines drawn by the mind, clad not a taking of temporal possession. Where there is more than one bishop in a country, how can each know his flock and his work except by marking lines of division ? The Pope has, in fact, done no more than appoint bishops in England in the same way as he does in Ireland—as he has chan ge d Vi cars -A posto li c i nto a hierarchy in Australia—as he has done in the Mauri tius—as the late Pope marked out the new bishopric of Galway—as bishops are appointed in Protestant Prussia and in schismatical Russia—as in the United States of America. -. stOne WE EKS ; Simple Plan for keeping a correct Account of Domestic Expendi ure and Income; also for showing what each item of Expenditure amounts to in the whole year; adapted for any year, and for be ginning at any time in the year.

" Will you, I pray you, demand that demi-devil Why he hath thus ensared my soul and body ? "—OTHELLO. If, as Lord John Russell says in his Letter to the Bishop of Dur ham, the tendency of the Romish Church be to confine the intellect and enslave the soul, does not the fact of doctors dec aring to a con fiding people that poisons are medicines tend to confine the intellect and enslave the mind to the chariot-wheels of doctor-craft ? Thou sands of individuals throughout the world are now alive on this point. When will the world emancipate itself from the fatal delusion —fatal In every point of view, both of body and mind ? People should think for theipselves in medicine as well as in religion. Hurrah ! then, for liberty of conscience, the medical liberty of the subject, and the emancipation of the mind both in religion and in medicine. POULTRY and GAME. —J.

LUKE WILLIAMS, Managing Director, Albion Chambers, Adam-street, Adelpht, 27th 'Nov., 18501 Issued by the British College of Health, New-road, London, the 25th day of N(Nember, A.D. 1850. Sir Edward Cust was to occupy the chair, and the re solutions were allotted to the various gentlemen who were to address the meeting. The principal resolution The following Protest was made in July, 1846: British College of Health, New-road, London. PROTEST OF HYGEISTS AGAINST THE ORGANIC THEORY OF THE MEDICAL SCHOOLS. 1. Because the organic theory sanctions the use of poisons in me dicine, and makes a mystery and confusion of the simple art of healing. -WBB- " That the meeting desire to express their extreme in dignation at the Papal bull and other documents which have recently been issued from Rome. and which treat the Sovereign of the realm as a nullity and her king doms as a spiritual waste, being alike repugnant to the spirit of the law and insulting to the Crown and people of England." _ _ VIESSRS. NICOLL'S; WAREROOMS extend 1 , VV_B_ over several Houses in REGENT-STREET, and arc appro priated to the following departments ; TO NICOLL'S REGISTERED PALETOT a large space is de voted. This garment exemplifies in its characteristics the general excellence and moderate prices observed throughout the establish• men t. DRgSS for EVENING or MORNING WEAR has its allotted space. UNIFORMS—NavaI, Military, and Diplomatic, present, in their departments, the unusual aspect of fair prices for cash. ROBES—Municipal, , lerical, &c., have separate rooms, and are placed on the same footing with the above. BOYS' CLOTHING —This is a new department; wherein provi sion is also made for the display of much elegance and economy. THE CIT Y ESTABLISHMENT corresponds with the above, and is at 22, CORNHILL, the entrance tope Shipping Department being in Change-alley. THE WHOLESALE WAREROOMS and the principal Counting Houses extend into Warwick-street, at the rear of the Regent-street premises, where rooms are now being fitted up for the-use of the numerous foreign merchants who will, during the period of the Great Exhibition, be introduced to this firm through their agents, resident at m-st parts of the globe. But -where there is no local agent, strangers wishing to partake of this accommOdation, should obtain a letter from the English Cocsul, in order that they may have the assistance of young men speaking different languages, who will then readily give any information or other good office. that may be needed in a strange land. 2. Because poisons have been introduced in medicine, by doctors, with a view to prevent people attempting to cure themselves, and also with a view to claim a legal right in the administration of such poisons and medicines. 3. Because, under the organic theory, the cure of diseases is re duced to a trade of useless attendances and visits. P U hSU ,„ ~oth,r e o t -T tr "l to an ORDER of the HIGH atala et CHANCERY, made in a cause, YOUNG and ttltC l' SON , ' O AIPSON and Others, the creditors of JAMES t e th„,, late of the Duke of York Tavern, Osnabu-gh-street, , Del tft O F:a of Middlesex, Licensed Victualler, (who died in the ir befor e 'r,, t . 185 0), are forthwith to come in and prove t Mastersie cQ r ,. - Raid eo Toritx KINDERStEY, Esq., one of the urt, at bis Chambers, in Southampton -buildings, Chan 4eat of .L'idon; or i default thereof, they will be excluded the "" 0 said Ordenr• 4. Because doctors (as a body) acting up to that interested and dishonest theory, and therefore all differing among themselves, and practising with almost as many drugs and chemicals as there are days in the year, can have no well-grounded experience in any of the things which they prescribe; iu short, because it must be all guess work with them. It was also intended to present . :the following address ;o the Queen:— " TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. The humble address of the undersigned inhabitants, of the town of Birkenhead, in the county of Chester, and the neighbourhood thereof. 5. Because, under the organic theory, in cases of death by poisons, administered" medicinally" by a doctor, no notice whatever can be legally taken of such deaths, the public being falsely taught to believe that such poisons are essential to the cure of diseases. 6. Because the numerous cases of poisoning throughout the country are effected with what doctors use medicinally, viz., lau danum, prussic acid, arsenic, corrosive sublimate, &c. Ilygelats contend that such poisons ought not to be used medicinally, because all diseases proceed from one cans; viz., impurity of the blood, and should therefore be treated by a good and wholesome purifier of the blood, which the experience of upwards of twenty years has amply proved the Vegetable Universal ➢iedicine of the British College of Health to be. " We your Majesty's faithful subjects beg leave hum bly to approach your Majesty with heartfelt assurance of undeviating loyalty to your Crown and of sincere at tachment to your person. " We consider it our duty to declare to your Majesty that we regard with feelings of indignation the insolent attempt made by the Pope of Rome to interfere with your Ml,jcsty's undoubted prerogative. "We therefore humbly venture to pray that such measures may be adopted in reference thereto as Parlia ment in its wisdom may deem proper to secure to your Maji sty sole and undivided sovereignty in this land, and to the nation the freo enjoyment of Protestant indepen dence, and we humbly assure your Majesty of our cordial co-operation therein." 0110 1,, Nye'to e GEORGE PYKE, Plaintiff's Solicitor, 43, Lincoln's Inn-fields.

It is a novel adaptation of the old Railway Rug (without its horse-cinth appearance), to a double purpose —that is to B uY, besides being used us a wrapper for the knees, it can be used as a cloak for the shoulders. Thus, by simply drawing in' a string, rests are formed for the shoulders, and the garnient assumes the graceful appearance of the ancient Toga (whence its name). • Toe price is One Guinea, or with a hood (now in general use for travelling in France),•and bound with braid, it is One Guinea and a Ralf. The mob having become considerably augmented, and its aspect more threatening, the utmost precautions were talc ,n to prozect the building. Sir B. COST suggested that Mr. Brown, the Romcn Catholic priest, should b© sent for, as it was thought that his presence might possibly allay the excitement. That g , ntleman shortly afterwards arrived, attended by a solicitor named Bretherton, a gentleman of the Popish persuasion.

For the Pope has in nowise acted as a So vereign, but as a bishop, and as the bishop of bishops, as the supreme pastor of the Church. Our Parliament itself made this distinction three years ago. An Act was passed to allow diplomatic relations with his Holi ness in the capacity of Sovereign of Rome, but not as Pope. And how could this be done, unless there were a visible, plain, and admitted distinction between Plies as Pope, and Pius IX. as Sovereign of Rome ? And, if plea be made that his Holiness has done this act without consulting the State, how could it be other wise, seeing that by au Act of the Legislature they had declined to hold communication with him iu that very capacity in which alone he acts in ecclesiastical affairs? But even this subterfuge is without foundation. For we have it on undoubted authority, that the Holy Fether has shown every delicacy and attention that the case admitted of to our Government. Nay, more, it was well known that this hierarchy in no way contravened the law, so long as we took not the titles of Protestant bishops; and that the present head of the Ministry had, on two separate occasions, advocated in Parliament the expediency of our being allowed, by a repeal of the dis allowing clause, to take even those titles, if so minded. We had seen the existing Ministry directing that their titles of honour should be given both to the new Catholic hierarchies of the colonies and to the prelates of Ireland, and how could we imagine that we possessed not those liberties in England which were recognized both in Ire land and in the colonies? The Pope had seen an Erglish Protestant Bishop exercising his ministry not only in Catholic Malta, but in the city of Rome itself; and how could his Holiness suppose that less liberty should exist in England for us, whose ministry is required by more than a million of her Majesty's subjects? And here, dearly beloved, we cannot but be struck with the resemblance between these dealings towards ourselves and those of a certain ancient administration, amongst whom there were found temporal and spiritual rulers combining together against our blessed Redeemer. They insisted that He was a King, and that He inter fered with concerns of State; and in vain did oar Lord reply that His kingdom " was nut of this world." They insisted that He had confused his spiritual with their temporal power, and on this plea they crucified Him. lie sent forth His disciples two and two into all the country. He taught the multitudes; and these men said, " If we let Him alone so, tho Romans will come, and will, take away our place and nation;" and, therefore, they cruci fied the Son of God. The Apostles divided the whole earth amongst them; and what permission from its rulers did they feel to be needed? Without asking con sent of Caesar, did St. Peter fix his chair in Rome. Her statesmen could not make St. Peter different from what he was. He himself could not cease to be what he was, and so they crucified him, as they had done his Master. And what was the crime of St. Peter? Only, that he had become Bishop of Rome without leave ob tained of the Government. So our Henry 11. could not make St. Thomas of Canterbury other than what he was. He could not unmake an archbishop; all he could do was, to add to his mitre the crown of martyrdom. Anti out of all these persecutions what came there forth but the victory of God and the spread of the faith? A victory of another kind may be pointed to in the history of religion; but the cases are no longer the same. The , true key to the victories over the Church at the Re formation is her temporal possessions. These aro gone from us; and in this fact lies our strength, if the grace of God be added to our poverty. For, like St. Paul's suc• cessful com'eatant, we are " despoiled of all;" our affec tions are not of this world, and our force is wholly spiritual. And, except through some great canonical cause, we, even we, unworthy as we are of so holy and elevated a place, can never cease to be what God and his Vicar bath made us—the first bishop of our see. Persecution, were it even attempted in more direct ways —by violent acts following upon violent words—would only consolidate and more firmly establish, as ell history proves, the foundation of our ch a i r an d th a t of cur suc cessors. The rain may fall, the floods come, and the winds blow, and beat against it; but it cannot fall, " be- cause it is built upon a reek." _ _ . Our exhortation to you, then, dearly beleved, is, that you confide in God, in whose hands are both ourselves and our works: that you stand firm and united, and without fear in the faith: that you return not evil for evil, nor reviling for reviling—lant, on the contrary, blessings: that you endure with patience, as you have always done, whatever temporal inconveniences you are subject to *lmo of you faith, liuowing that ycu will Sir E. C UST assured the legal gentleman that ho would take care the requisition should be presented to the meeting, who would decide upon its merits. At this moment the riot outside became perfectly fearful; stones rattled in through the windows, and many persons in the hail narrowly escaped serious in jury. The armed mob commenced a most savage attack upon the police. Perhaps a more determined and brutal assault has rarely been made. Huge stones, some of them several pounds in weight, were dashed through the windows or at those who were endeavouring to keep the peace. Mr. Superintendent Ride ordered about eleven men who were more immediately under his com mand to charge the mob, and they did so with consider able courage, but were soon repulsed and driven back, three of them having received serious injury about the head and body. One man, who bled profusely, was deemed to have received a fatal blow, and his life is not now considered out of danger. Another, who was attended by Mr. Corrie, the coroner, had a fearful scalp wound extending from the upper part of the head nearly down to the nape of the neck. It is supposed that some twelve of the men were more or less injured. The affray assumed such a serious character that it was thought the Riot Act should be read; but a suggestion that Mr. Brown, the priest, should address the meeting, and endeavour to prevail upon them to de sist from violence, was eventually agreed to. Mr. Brown then appeared at the window, and, addressing the mob, requested them to deliver up their cudgels and preserve order. The exhortation of the priest had an electrical effect. Scores of staves were forthwith col lected and piled up in front of the hall. One or two only seemed to resolve to continue the riot. It is but justice to say that Mr. Bretherton also exerted himself to quell the disturbance. It now became apparent that it would not be judicious to attempt to hold the meeting, and it was accordingly adjourned, without any day being fixed. That a public meeting should have been called in Bir kenhead was perhaps the most injudicious step that could have been taken. There are at the present time between 1,000 and 2,000 navigators employed at the dock works, most of whom are Irish and Roman Catholics. They are, it is scarcely necessary to say, completely in the power of the priests, who have an extraordinary influ ence over them. It is said, that in the Roman Catholic chapel in which the Rev. Mr. Brown officiates, they were advised to attend the meeting to-day, and it is very evident they understood they were to offer some resist. ance. The Roman Catholics complain that the meeting was to have been exclusively confin e d t o t h e ratepayers, . but they forget that it the ratepayers who employ the men who created the riot, and that they in fact bring them into the town. Up to 4 o'clock, at the ti me our correspondent left, no further disturbance had t a k en p l ace, but a crowd still lingered in the neighbourhood of the Town-hall, and business was not resumed. Upwards of 100 police, under Mr. Superintendent Towerson, arrived from Liverpool between 1 and 2 o'clock, and it is not apprehended that any further breach of the peace will take place. The magistrates have passed the following resolution on the subject:— " The magistrates having called a public meeting, in pursuance of a most respectable requisition, for the pur pose of presenting a loyal address to the Queen against the encroachments of Rome, and having found a mob as sembled round the place of meeting with sticks and stones, who attacked the Town-hall and the room where the magistrates were assembled, and violently assaulted the polic e , we , th e un d e rsigned, under those circum stances, have not deemed it our duty as magistrates to endanger the public peace, and i have, therefore, ad journed the meeting until the inhabitants can be as sembled to express their opinion with the ireedon of Englishmen.

Between 2 and 3 o'clock the crew of a Newcastle collier, named the Jane and Elizabeth, was bearing up the Swin for the Thames, and saw distress signals burning in the direction of the Knock Sands, but they soon disappeared. The 'great dis tance of the signals and the fierce character of the gale blowing rendered it impossible for them to offer any assistance to the unfortunate vessel, which they suspected had got on the shoal above alluded to. Some six or seven hours afterwards they were spoken with by some Harwich luggers, who, it appeared, had that morning picked up a quantity of wreck, as also several casks of tallow, and were bearing down to some wreck floating to the eastward. The fragments exhibited appearances in dicating they had formed a vessel of considerable dimension, and had evidently been broken up within a very few hours. All that could be gleaned from the men i❑ the lugger was, that a large ship had gone to pieces near the Knock, but could give no tidings of the fate of the people belonging to her. Yesterday morning arrivals from Ramsgate brought the follow ing additional information regarding the wreck, from which it will be observed there is too much reason to fear that every soul on board perished. The smack Prosperity arrived at Ramsgate on Tuesday afternoon with several tons of tallow, in casks or hogsheads, which had been picked up by the boatmen on the previous morning between the Kentish Knock and the Long Sands. The tallow was discovered floating amidst a quantity of wreck, and amongst the frag ments was the figure•head of a vessel ;(a man in full length.) Several newspapers were picked up addressed to various parties in England. They proved to be the Sydney Morning Herald of July last, and each bore the Sydney postage stamp thereon. The casks of tallow, on examination, were found to bear the fol lowing marks :—" Tallie, Beef Tallow, Ravens worth," with "an anchor," and the initials " S.R." and "C. B." underneath. We understand that another smack has arrived at Ramsgate with some of the wreck, together with several papers relating to the ship Gazelle, with a ship's long boat apparently be longing to a vessel of that name. The boat had been found on Monday morning floating bottom upwards. eoa referring to a file of the Sydney Morning Herald, of June and July, we find that a vessel named the Gazelle, James Ramsey commander, 342 tons bur then, was advertised to sail, with passengers, wool, &c., from that port for London, on the 7th of July, and from subsequent advices it appears she did sail on that day. We may mention that the Sydney papers picked up are those of the 6th of July. The Gazelle, it may be stated, is the property of Mr. William Benn, of Whitehaven. She left Eng land in the winter of 1848, and has been trading since in various parts of the world. Overland advices from Sydney have been received, which report her to have sailed from that port on her homeward voyage in the month of July last, with a full cargo and one passenger, whose name is Mr. W. W. Dillon. The Gazelle was spoken about a week since beating up for the Channel by a vessel since arrived at Liverpool. Her cargo consisted of 185 bales of wool, 549 casks of tallow, 5,175 shank bones, 1 ton of hoofs, 1 tons of knuckle bones, 445 hides, 1 case of perfumery, 1 case of braid and fringes, and 6,500 trenails. LEGAL DECISION.—A case of considerable impor tance to railway contractors, arising from works executed near Carlisle, has just been determined by arbitration. The claim was preferred by the executors of the late Mr. Mark Thomson, sub-contractor, for works executed in the vicinity of the Carlisle station, against the eminent firm of Messrs. John Stephenson and Co. The plaintiffs claimed on various extra works and compensations a balance of 2.3341. After an investigation of several days before the arbitrators and their umpire, the plaintiffs obtained an award of t6l. 125., each party paying their own costs and half the expenses of the reference, which it is understood exceaded 3001. on each side. A considerable sum had previously been offered by the defendants to avoid the litigation by which t he plaintiffs have only obtained a nominal verdict after incurring heavy costs. The plaintiffs were represented by Mr. Temple, of the Northern Circuit, instructed by Mr. George Sibson, of Car lisle; and the defendants by Mr. lllenkinsopp, of the firm of Messrs. Clay, Swift, and Wagstaff, Liverpool.
