Win --- un, By the Independent, Captain NYE, arrived at Liverpool, in twenty-one days from New York, we have received New York Papers to the Bth of Au gust. They contain Quebec news of August Ist, at which time Lord SYDENHAM had returned to Quebec from Halifax. Commerce appears not to revive very fast in the United States, and the United States Bank Shares continued gradually to fall. One New York paper recommends that it be wound up, and another, not denying the propriety a' the recommendation, mentions a number of other institutions which ought to be wound up also. The New York Papers are much occupied with the elec tions in different States, but they leave us without the means of conjecturing what will be the result. They contain news from Vera Cruz to the 15th •f July, which mention the detention of between fifty and sixty American and British seamen, who were found about the coast of California, and had been conveyed as prisoners to Tippie, (pro bably Tepie or Tepeaka.) The affair was under going an investigation under the superintendence of the American and British Consuls.

Dr. MOLES WORTH, the Vicar, has much contributed, by a letter, published in the Times on Friday, to keep it alive, and to convince the public that it involves principles of almost infinite importance. Religion and liberty are, according to him, invaded by the resistance to Church-rates. Those who refuse to pay he stigmatises as tyrants, or would-be tyrants ; and he concludes his letter by the following would be emphatic sentence : It is against the law of God to conspire to defeat the intention of the law of man ; and so long as he (the mistaken Dissenter) is engaged (whether erroneously or perversely) in that unlasetul object, I must and will op. pose him ; and I hope many a zealous Churchman, and many a religious Dissenter, will support me in such opposition, and not suffer the law to be borne d own b y conspiracy. My appeal to the country is—" Who is o n the Lord's side ? who ?" This at once makes Church-rates a question of conscience for every man, and he who refuses to pay them is not, according to Dr. MOLESWORTH, on the LORD'S side. The Rev. Doctor will have no compromise, and no peace,--he will have submis sion, nothing but submission, to him and his fellow priests. He makes Church-rates not only a question of conscience but a question of law and order, and agrees with the Standard in denouncing it as villany, or « as against the law of God," to conspire to de feat the intention of the law of man. Not only the Anti-Church-rate party, then, throughout the coun try, but all the Anti-Corn-law men, and notably those wealthy merchants of Liverpool and London who have undoubtedly agreed together, or conspired —for which we, ungodly men according to Dr. MoLEswoTif, give them much praise —to defeat the intention of the Corn-law, are one and all violators of the law of Gon. There is nothing of earthly importance, so far as law and religion are concerned, which is not in volved in this priest solemnly and deliberately pro nouncing it in writing to be against the law of GOD to conspire in order to defeat the intention of the law of man. If his principles be true, all the Anti- Corn-law men, all the Anti-Church-rate party, all the Chartists, even all the , Standard's democratic Conservatives, must at once and for ever submit to the law, however vile, detestable, and even dam nable. Far from us be it to assent to such a doctrine. We know that legislators do make and have made vile, detestable, and devilish laws ; and we hold it to be honest and virtuous and agreeable to the law of GOD—to which we may appeal as well as this priest for his own selfish purposes —for all men to conspire and defeat the intention of all such hlpraise of t t he laws. Nay, they are bound to do so, unl ess t h ey mean to share the responsibili ty e i an le d t e the guilt he iniquitous law. On this merchants who have worked up the averages to enable them to introduce a considerable quantity of corn at no duty. On this principle we have stimu lated and supported the Anti-Church-rate party in By the arrival of the steam-boat Columbia, Galves ten papers have been received to the '2lst, and Houston to the 18th instant.

ARRIVAL OF THE UNICORN.—The steam ship Uni corn, Captain Walter Douglas, arrived here at eleven o'clock last night from Halifax, Nova Scotia, with his Excellency the Governor-General and suite on board. Shortly after the steamer had moored alongside the Queen's Wharf his Excellency lauded and proceeded to his residence, in the late House of Assembly. The Unicorn: left Halifax at three o'clock P.M. on Tuesday last, and has thus made the passage in eighty hours. Hr passage to and from Halifax proves her to be a swift steamer and an admirable sea-boat. Her first trip to Quebec was made in eighty-four hours.—the return voyage occupied, we believe, the same length of time. On her voyage up with the July mail, she was detained a day by fog, which ex tended the time of her voyage to four days and a half, but on her return with the Governor-General she performed her work in seventy-seven hours. In coming up this time she has also made an excellent passage, having, as we have already stated, performed it in eighty hours. The Unicorn, we learn, is under orders to leave this port for Montreal on Monday next. Captain Douglas gave his pilot to H. M. S. Winchester, Vice- Admiral Sir Thomas Harvey, whieh vessel it was ex pected would sail from Halifax on the 31st (yesterday) for Quebec. A brig of war sailed, it is stated, from Halifax for Quebec, on Monday last. The object of the Admiral's visit to this port, it is generally under stood. is to preside at a Court Martial on Commander Drew on charges preferred against him by Captain San dom for quitting his station without leave of absence.— Quebec Gazette, Aug. 1.

There can be no doubt that discussions take place, especially on the question which is naw of the highest importance. They cannot, however, be called Ministerial conferences, the result of which is embodied in protocols. Some sensa tion has been excited by the arrival of Baron Von Langsdorff (late French Charge d'Affaires at Vienna). who has just come to Koningsworth, whence he returns to Paris. There are various conjectures afloat respecting his sudden departure from Vienna. Some say that he is the bearer of important despatches, which relate to the enterprise of Louis Bonaparte. Others believe that M. de Langsdorff leaves his post because he is dissatified at having served so long without promotion : others tliiak, and that is probably the case, that Thit•rs is dis pleased with Baron Langsdorff, because he had not so tar gained the confidence of the Austrian Government as to have learned anything of the negotiations which preceded the treaty of the 15th of July, and that he has recalled him on that account. Count St. Aulaire is said to give on every occasion explicit assurance that the peace of Europe is in no danger, whatever the French journals may say. Vicar of Rochdale takes an opposite view ; and the Church•rate contest, therefore, so far from being over, is exciting, and will excite, discussions on the conscientious duty of men to defeat a bad law, or become its victims. Dr. MoLEswoßTH's letter, or rather letters, for we have another of his effusions before us, place the duties of the pastoral offic e in a new light. In stead of inculcating charity and love, instead of promoting harmony and peace, Dr. iVIoLEswoRTH has deliberately promoted strife, and acted, hke the meanest and lowest partisan, to attain a disreput able end. In his address after the poll, far from supposing a single virtuous or honest motive in the opponents of the rate, he stigmatized them as " mistaken Dissenters, Socialists, Chartists, Jaco bins, Infidels, and Atheists, urged on by sectarian jealousy, political rancour, inflammatory appeals to avarice, and to the worst passions of our nature." At the same time he admits that the Wardens, " act ing under his advice," after having been once de feated, " determined again to appeal to the parish." The centest, therefore, with all its consequences, was provoked or rather ordained by him, and he abuses, in the manner we have quoted, those who were not of his side.

Bank Shares 1729 --Allgemeine Zeitung, Aug. 25 Seeing their (his opponents') tactics to terrify and obstruct the voters, I reserved (on the granting the poll) the power of extending and adjourning the poll, it such obstruction should take place. I told them that I would fearlessly exert it, and that every man, be his opinibns what they might, should exercise his undoubted right of recording his vote. I acted up to this declaration. Arid these defeated tyrants are now striving by every means, however foul and vindictive to crush me. Now, who before ever heard of a partizan being the person to grant a poll, and to defeat all its conditions ? Who, too, ever heard of such a partisan claiming a power, and fearlessly exerting it, to extend the poll at his pleasure ? But this Rev. Dr. MOLESWORTH boasts of having done it —and he did it, as we know from an excellent ad dress written by Mr. BRIGHT—in a most unwar rantable manner. After he had closed the doors against the public at six o'clock, he admitted his own friends and supporters, and continued the poll till twenty minutes past six. " All protest, all reasoning," says Mr. BRIGHT, " was useless ; the triumph of the Church was in jeopardy, and trifles were not to be regarded." Such was the conduct of this pastor, who holds his office to enforce Christian charity and love. He began the Church• rate brawl, he continued and closed it in defiance of justice, and then he most impudently—his con duct deserves no other epithet—denounces those as violators of GOD'S laws who do not peacefully sub- 1 mit to his overbearing unrighteousness. The rug stealing party will not recommend Church-rates nor the Church to the community by the priests becoming partizans and displaying all the virulence of the Orange tyrants of Ireland. Not long ago the Tories, particularly the ultra part of them, expressed much virtuous indig nation at the creation of a few fictitious votes in Ireland ; and the enormity was thought to be morally so great, that the Tories were willing to run the risk of convulsing the empire in order to correct it. In addition to its many other evils, this Church-rate contest, ordained by the Rev. Dr. IVIOLEswoRTH, and carried on by him by most unjust means, gave rise to as much fictitious voting as all the elections of Ireland. The diplomatic note addressed by Lord PAL MERSTON to the French Ambassador on the 15th of July relative to the Treaty of London, is pub. lished in all the Paris Journals of Saturday, from the columns, not of the English Papers of the previous day, but from the Augsburg Gazette of the 24th of August. It appears to . hare created a profound sensation in Paris. The Ministerial organs plead its inaccuracy, and contend that most of the allegations made by Lord PALMERSTON will be shown to be unfounded by the publication of the correspondence of the French Cabinet. The Opposition Journals are incensed against M. THIERS, whom they accuse of having acted with duplicity, and contend that if the statements of Lord PALMERSTON be borne out the President of the Council ought to be declared incapable of serv ing his country in a Ministerial capacity. First in the list of Ministerial champions stands the Constitutionnel, which a ncent " untoward event" prevents us, as it was intended to do, from designating the individual organ of M. THIERS. That Journal, speaking of Lord PALMERSTON'S note, says : " We are not assured of the authenticity of this docu ment, and we have some reasons for thinking. that more than one inaccuracy has crept in. Whatever may be the case, and on the very face of the document, the French public will observe that the greater part of Lord Palmerston's allegations have been the object of official disavowals. Those allegations furnished for a month the polemics of the English newspapers, and the arguments from which they drew their inference are now exhausted. No ; the facts have not occurred as the memorandum represents; the discussion disposed of every pretext, and if a controversy were again to arise on that point, in order to explain their conduct, the Ministry need only publish the energetic protesta tions with which this diplomatic communication was re ceived." In one of the townships 1,167 individuals appea r to have voted, whilst the highest number entered in the rate-book is 1,060, so that 107 persons must have voted with fraudulent certificates. That is one specimen of the enormous vice amongst the Church party to which this contest gave rise. The charac teristics are so grave that we feel assured that it is but the beginning of a very serious struggle, which will be for ever memorable in the annals of England . We entertain no doubts as to the existence of the " energetic protestations" here alluded to. M. THIERS was too clever to deprive himself of the aid which might be derived from such documents. But their existence will not disprove a single state ment in Lord PALMERSTON'S note, unless they are made to refer to others of a much earlier date. And it is those of an earlier date than the month of July that we call upon the French Press to in voke the publication. The Courrier Francais, in general a moderate Ministerial print, is absolutely scurrilous. We quote only the following passage from this Journal : " We do not think that Lord Palmerston in his memo randum can have made allusion to a proposal which France put forward under the Ministry of the 12. th of May, nor that any proposal addressed by that Ministry to the Four Powers has ever obtained their concur rence. Lord Palmerston seeks to avail himself of a sort of tacit consent which France had given beforehand to the views of the Powers ; but that falsity, for it is one, is, it is said, expressed met more general terms. It is, nevertheless, true that Lord Palmerston, though de nying to the representative of France in London the inFult t'vhich he had just committed upon us, dared to invite our Government to interpose its moral influence with Mehemet Ali in ordt'r to induce him to give in a cowardly submission ; but it is not true that that au dacious re ques t assu med the form of . a summons, nor that we were required to do that which it was well known we should refuse." Now there is not the least reason for concealing —or affecting to conceal—the fact that Lord PALMERSTON'S note does allude to the proposal made to the Four Powers by France during the Administration of the SOULT Cabinet (the 12th of May) ; and furthermore, that the said Powers having accepted that proposal, subsequently felt that they could not with honour abandon it, at the mere suggestio n of the Cabinet of which M TRIERS is chief. By the arrival of the Tagus steamer at Fal mouth on Saturday, we have received advices from Lisbon, of the 24th of August. No further at tempt had been made to disturb public tranquillity ; nevertheless, it was feared that the Revolutionists were only waiting for an opportunity to try the effect of another armed demonstration. The Judges of the Supreme Tribunal of Lisbon, appointed to try the conspirators according to the forms of a law just enacted by the Cortes, have decided that the thed withtp i press, e i s s st the hr cannot n i a n nr ot t : l c e l be i rse establishingha c a t s e t d e, u fo p r n o . t law being opposed to th e 20 th article of the Con ;o ef n t h d e e s t t o h t e t declare ut fiendwhicho m This decision fell like a thunderclap upon the ears of the Ministry. The disaffected on the contrary, were overjoyed at it. With a view to prevent the ends of justice being defeated, a new Bill was imme diately submitted to the Deputies, suspending the 20th article of the Constitution. It was pas se d in one day, by a majority of 50 votes to 30. It was then carried to the Senate, and a committee appointed, which, to the annoyance of the Ministry, reported that the insurgents ought to be tried by a council of war, and not by the proposed newly created tribunal. Here the matter rested at the date of these advices from the Portuguese calm tal. To make the affair worse, the fidelity of the army was not above suspicion, and reports were rife of disturbances at Braga and Portalegre. The QUEEN was expected to remain at Cintra till after her confinement, which is now at hand. The pub. lie treasury did not supply money enough to pay the troops and the expenses of the Royal House hold. In the civil department, tie employes like the fabled wild asses of Arabia, might be supposed to subsist by snuffing the wind. A Lisbon letter of the 24th -1 instant supplies the following additional news : A splendid amateur bull-fi g ht took place at the large Circus at Campo Santa Anna on Friday. The public were only admitted by tickets, obtained gratuitously from the associate amateur s . Upwards of five thou san d tickets w ere g i ven allay , and . not Less than that number of persons were present. The boxes were filled by ladies, the rest of the seats by m en . The young Marquis of Valenta and the brother of the Marquis of Loule totigto the bulls on horseback ; the former performed his part with particular grace, the latter was unhorsed in one men. contre ; and, according to usage, subsequently dis mounted and fought the bull on foot. The other combat ants who fought on foot belonged to the rising aristo cracy for the most part ; and the elegance of their varied costume, togeth er w i t h t h e a dd res s and sangfroid with which they speared the bulls, on coming forward, en masse, seized the m b y t h e h orns, and le d t h em off, were . highly applauded by th e spectators. Upwards of a dozen bulls were successively brought on, and the whole went off without an y ser i ous accident . The national taste for this somewhat cruel and dangerous amusement seems quite as strong as ever. A bull-fight takes place every Sunday at Campo Santa Anna, tha proceeds of which go to th e C asa Pi a, an i nst i tu tion for the main- tenance and education of o rphans. Rear-Admiral Sir John Ommaney, ,will leave in the Donegal, Captain Drake, to-morrow. Tile present d es ti nat i on of t h e G a ll an t Admiral is un known. His time of service here had expired ; but it is supposed at Li s b on t h at h e i s go ing to the Leva n t. W herever he g oes h e carr i es w i t h hi m the good wishe s and respect of all who had the honour of Ins acquain tance. The Espoir brig will then be our only ship of war here, but another ship of the line is, I believe, shortly expected from England. The French corvette Coquette continues here. But we have not space to-day for further com ment upon this question. We are, however, grati fied to state that the conviction that peace will be preserved, acquires daily fresh converts among the French journals and the French people. 'What news there is in the papers of Friday and Saturday will be found in our extracts trom them scattered over our columns. The National publishes a letter from Warsaw, dated the 21st instant, detailing the "plan of campaign of the four Powers for the execution of the treaty of London." The writer states that " warlike prepara tions were making with considerable activity in that city, and that extensive magazines were being esta blished in the southern provinces of the empire. The Russian troops collected between Kiew and the Black Sea amounted to 80,000 men.

Money, 103% PRINCE ALBERT'S VISIT TO THE ClTY.—Surprise, and something more, is expressed in the City and else where at the abrupt departure of his Royal Highness from the Mansion-house on Friday, when it was ex pected he would have honoured the Lord Mayor with his company to dinner. The Duke of Cambridge at tempted an apology, but it has turned out any thing but an apology ; for the Prince, instead of proceeding to Windsor to enjoy the company of the Queen, as the Royal Duke insinuated, remained at Buckingham Palace to dinner, and from that Royal residence he sent an apo logy to the Lord Mayor (inserted in another part of the Paper), which only increases the mystery of the proceedings. We have no idea of what is meant by " motives F,of delicacy." Possibly the Lord Mayor can divine the meaning. Some months ago, it will be remembered, some of her Majesty's Ministers were treated very rudely at the hospitable board in the Egyptian Hall by not a few of the guests of his Lord ship, some of them Aldermen too ; and, it is said, the Queen felt this as an insult to herself. If this is the reason, we admire her spirit. A Lord Mayor should be able to prevent his guests from insulting each other, and if he cannot, the safest way is not to run the risk. THE COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS and the public generally arc requested to notice that from a great number of the gratings over the common sewers, as the autumnal evenings come on, a most disagreeableeffluvium arises. There is no doubt that this is as injurious to health as it is offensive to the nostrils. At a recent in quest, Mr. Wakley mentioned th. 4 the late Sir William Blizzard, some years ago, noticed that the surgical pa tients in the London Hospital recovered very slowly, and after taking much pains to ascertain the cause, he traced it to the common-sewer which ran near the spot. He had it bricked over, and the sur. gical patients then recovered, as in other healthy situations. Now the unhealthy consequences of a whole sewer being uncovered arise partially from the several openings into the sewers by means of grat ings. As the openings are indispensible, it may be sup posed that this evil cannot be avoided, but we believe it can ; what the bricklayers call stink-traps, are, we be lieve, fr( quently constructed under these gratings, and may be constructed under them all. They do not pre vent the passage of water down into the sewer, but they prevent the escape of the noxious gas up out of it. As the public pay a heavy sewers rate, and as this escape of noxious gas has a pestilential effect, they bare a right, we think, to call on the Commissioners to construct stink-traps under every grating, and we solicit the at tention of the Commissioners and the public to the subject. SHUTTING UP TEMPLE•BAR ON SUNDAYS.—We hear great complaints are made by the inhabitants of Chancery-lane and the neighbourhood of the annoyance to which they are subjected on Sunday by the Com missioners of Police. In that comparatively quiet dis trict the noise is incessant, and they naturally ask what right the New Police have to stop up a thoroughfv ee , and turn the whole current of vehicles upon then-.,. The parson says " Then you ought to go to Ch , Yrch." But can the sick and the dying go to Church 9 And are they to be tormented for four hours on Sunday, in a narrow lane, because the hypocrites will not i v y out a penny to pave the street with woo d. It is altogether an act of gross tyranny. We believe the Commissioners have not the power kr such an object to shut up a street, and it passengers were to rcsol t to the sledge-hammer and the crow-bar, as once recommended by the Times, no Court could touch them. There would be some sense in stopping all carriages during Church service, but none in making this odious exception in favour of a particular Church to the annoyance of the neighbourood, and of all those who arc obliged to pass that way. ANOTHER CONTEST for CHURCH RATES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUIV. SlR—There has been another contest for Church-rates here, and a foolish one, too. The burial-ground of the parish church at Mirfield, in the West Riding of the county of York, has for some back been inadequate to accommodate the Increasing population of this flourish ing village, and the Churchwardens called a meeting of the parishioners this week for the double purpose of enlarging the churchyard and laying a rate. Wheu the rate-payers were in vestry assembled, many of them proposed to withdraw their opposition to the rate, on receiving the pledge of the Churchwardens that all the money raised by the rate should be devoted to the en. larging of the burial-ground alone. To show that this offer was liberal, it need only be mentioned that the estimate for enlarging the church-yard was 1454, an d a l l the oth e r expenses for the necessary maintenan ce of the services of the church were estimated at 20/. only. Well. you wouid have thought bigotry itselfwoultilhaveembraccd this boon. Ah ! you are quite mistaken. Nothing short of the whole would s a t is f y t h e partisans of the church. rate men. Being defeated in the vestry they demanded a poll, and the viear directed it to be taken at the poor. house yesterday and to-day, to be closed at five o'clock each day. This evening the numbers were declared to be--. Ag it .....ainst the F or rate„ 279 219 gijority against the rate —6o The contest was carried on without that bitterness and animosity so lately displayed in the neighbouring parish of Rochdale ; and perhaps this may be principally ascribed to the excellent character borne amongst all grades of society by our young vicar, Mr. Maude. If we had been so unfortunate as to have had a Moles worth, the ill-will engendered would scarcely ever have been healed. J, S. Mirfield, Aug. 29, 1840. FRIGIII FUL ACCIDENT ON THE LEA RIVER. ean account reached us this morning of a frightful accident that occurred on the above river, yesterday afternoon. It appears that two parties had taken two boats from Mr. Wicks, at Lea-bridge, for an excursion on the river, and that after leaving the shore and proceeding about one hundred yards they unfortunately came in collision with each other, and the whole of both parties, twelve or fiftecnipersons, were immersed in the water. the whole of whom were unfortunately drowned, , ;; it i: the exception of one or two. At eight o'cloe!4 eight persons had been taken out, and partici! were still dragging for the remainder. ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

They were on the water till near six, when, on reaching Lea-bridge at Clapton, they acciden tally ran foul of another boat, in which were four or five young men, who reside at Clapton. By the collision the boat in which were the six persons turned over, when the whole of the party was immersed. Some clung to the boat, and some sunk. Theyoung men went to their assist ance when their boat capsised, and they all shared the same fate ; and a third boat, which went to their assistance, met with a similar calamity. There were at one tim e 14 altogether in the water struggling for their lives ; one succeeded in swimming to the shore.
