"The three great ends which a ttatesmart ought to pro pose to himself in the revernment of a nation are —secarity to pos sessors; facility to a , Quirers ; and hope to all."—Coleridge. On the 2 ith of October will be published, No. 3 of " The States man." a First-e'ass Weekly Newspaper. Price sd. Unstamped, Gd. Stamped. Tho paramcunt object of" The Statesman" will be to promote the interest of the entire nation, irrespec'•ive of party or personal consi derations. In Home Politics "The Statesman" will support those principles of our cons , itution which have been cs ablished by the will and reason of the Fnglishdrople, and will urge he extension of political rower in correspondence with the increasing intelligence of the community. In accordance with these principle.," The States man" will seek to coirect the abus-s and amend the defects of the representative system: it will support all measures for completinq the great work of commercial reform; it will aid in deVel:ping the municipal power of local bodies, with a view t 5 a more faithful and vigilant administration of local affair•, and a more prolipt execution of the measures required for promoting health and general well being. The subject of Education is one which now occupies the most anxious thoughts of all earnest thinkers. '• The Statesman" will endeavour to obtain the cordial co-operation of all those practical reformers to whom the public good is the supreme considereion. In pursuing this object, it will not confine itself merely to a discus sion of the various schemes which have been proposed for the educa tion of the labouring classes. The worst evils under which the nation is new suffering, spr;ng mainly from the want of such a system of education among the middle and higher classes as would teach them to be more earnest in the fulfilment of their duties. Without a reform in that direction we cannot expect much improve ment in the government of the nation from any system of education for the poorer class. The principles of our own Constitution will be the guide in Foreign Policy, with a view to render it just, bold, a , d uncompromising " The Statesman" will act with those politicians who seek to aid and animate the Government in giving its cordial co-operation to foreign states struggling to develope a freedom cognate with our own —a policy of alliance with constitutional governmon'a forming the only true and practical counteracting force to the dynastic comb!na tions now threatened is Europe As regards India, wide diversities of opinion prevail. " The Statesman" will endeavour to show that the time has come for organizing the Government of that vast empire in a manner alike consistent with the dictates of Christianity, the welfare of India, and the true Interests of Great Britain. Party Politicians and Mitt. National Journalists may try to show that, IR India, these objects are irreconciteable. " The Statesman" will seek to unite those patriots who believe that the national conacience,and an enlightened regard for the national weal, equally demand that our Eastern Empire shall no longer be governed by the shortsighted policy of Leadenhall-street. The startling events ofthe latt few years, no less than the preeent wipect of affairs, have taught politicians that the efficiency of the army is one of the first elements of national independence and na tional strength. "The statesman'' will give its hearty support to the various measures required to make the army, in the largest sense of the wt , rd, efficient, and accessible to all ranks of her Ma jesty's subjects. In the Literary portion of the raper the main object will be to give the readers of " The Statesman" ful' and accurate information as to what is going forward in the various departments of the Book world.

We left this on the evening of the 19th, and arrived at Monnepore on the morning of the 21st. This place is about 4 miles below Kelley Kuncar (which I learn is well fortified), and about 50 miles below Cawn pore. Having reason to be lieve that this fortification is friendly to us (and for other reasons which I have not been able to dis cover), we returned towards Allahabad from Mon nepore, burning up at that place 5 country boats, broke up 1, and took 2 in tow that were laden with railway materials, which were made over to the Thanadar and Zamindar at Kara. About 2 miles below (Shaadpore) we scuttled 7 country boats, and about 4 miles further (Narsing) we scuttled 3 more, burnt 1, and took 2in tow. lof these we broke up the same evening, after anchoring at the mouth of the Nullah, running under a large village called Jehanabad, on the Oude territory, intending to reconnoitre the place at daylight. In this Nullah 14 country boats were moored. At 4.30 a.m. of the 22nd instant (Saturday) Lieutenant Batt sent a pinnace's crew down, and with one of our 12 pounders in her, to reconnoitre, under charge-4:4ft, midshipman (Mr. Parker, of Auckland). The commander of the vessel also went in the jolly boat to sound the Nullah, and the rebels very kindly advised him to return, but he o, sated fire on the pinnace, which she returned with canister. None were wounded ; seeing this we got the Jumna under way, backed her into the Nullah, brought up, and engaged the enemy. The firing on both sides was kept up about 1 hour, and in the engage ment one Lase a was killed, about three feet from me, one wounded in the hand, one European sea man mortally wounded, and another slightly in the forehead. A ball struck another seaman on his belt (but did him no injury), struck the table, and broke the log slate. Our force being too small to cope with the enemy, who began, with round shot, and moreover being under strong cover, hove up, steamed out of the Nullah, anchored in the stream, and began shelling the enemy, after destroying as much as possible the boats that were in the Nullah. Our comings are riddled with balls, bnt the Jumna has stood the whole well. The ,engagemeut lasted in all about 5i hours, and we expended 167 rounds of shell and round shot ; and of rifle ammunition, 580 rounds by the seamen, 620 by Fusiliers, and 230 by the Seikhs. Our force consisted of only 29 seamen belonging to the steam frigates Zenobia, Punjaub, and Auckland ; 20 of the Madras Ist Fusiliers, under command of Lieutenant Barclay ; as also 14 Sikhs. Tile enemy have built up several breast works, and appear to number about 3,000. Nothing further of any interest has transpired, and,it is my humble opinion that it would be madness to ap proach the place without a stiong land force. We have just returned, and I am thankful to say I am quite well."—Calcutta Phcenix. GENERAL OUTRAN. We have the very highest authority for assuring the public, that General Outram is not in the slightest degree responsible for the detention of her Majesty's 00th Foot and sth Fusiliers at Dina pore. From information in our possession, we feel justified in saying that never was a greater injustice done to a gallant officer than has been done to General Outram in this case. The General was never made aware that the two corps had been detained on their upward voyage, until he arrived near Patna. So anxious was he then to hasten their advance that he sent his private secretary, and his aides de-camp (Messrs. Money and Sitwell) on foot, at 10 o'clock at night, from where the steamer had brought up, to the city of Patna—a distance of seven or eight miles—to despatch an express to prevent the detention of the reinforcements for a single moment. These gentlemen reached Patna in as short a time as possible, but unfortunately the express was net in time to prevent her Majesty's 90th from being recalled to Dinapore, to General Outram's great vexation. As cholera bad broken out in the flat Nemesis, the delay of a day was demanded at Dinaporo by the superintending sur geon to purify the vessel, and put up some addi tional comforts. In the meantime, we are assured that General Outram has never ceased to urge the advance of the reinforcements intended for Oawn pore, and that his first consideration on arriving at Allaha,batl, where he arrived before the 90th, was to make arrangements for their marching the mo ment they arrived. So that the public can see that General Outram is not the party answerable for the detention of the troops intended to reinforce General Havelock.—Phcenix, Sept. 8. THE KING OF OUDE. A late number of the Mofussilite contained an article offering some evidence to prove the com plicity of the King of Oude and his people, in the events which are now disturbing India. After a few words introductory, the article proceeds : " Early in April last an Armenian gentleman mentioned in the course of conversation with the Consular representative in Calcutta of a European kingd ►m, that some of the big men attached to the King of Oude's establishment at Garden Reach, had applied to him some time previously for a correct list of the number and location of all the European troops in India, and for particulars con cerning our military resources ; wbich, if we re member correctly what was related to us by the Consul, the Armenian furnished to the best of his ability. "Although the King of Oude is too ignorant„ flt, and lazy to possess either the ability or incli na‘ ion to take a personally active part in any busi ness whatever, yet he has in his suite many men of considerable talent and energy, who do acts and make promises in his Majesty's name for which the royal fainea n t i s d ec id e dl y responsible ; and that these men had a motive in seeking the information we have described, it is unnecessary to assert ; and what, in opr opinion, that motive was it is now equally unnecessary to explain. " When the mutinous spirit in the Bengal army first displayed itself, the present writer, having then just heard of the conversation he has men tioned, made an allusion in the columns of a Cal ,cutta journal to the possibility of the Kingof Oude's servants and advisers being implicated in the mutiny, or at any rate possessing a foreknowledge of its coming, and he was in consequence personally. threatened with punishment by his Majesty's Euro pean Vakeel, and the paper itself barely escaped prosecution. However, later events show convinc ingly that such a widely spread insurrection must have-been determined upon long before the explo sion occurred, and its breaking out in so many places at once shows also that it was au organised conspiracy, in which there can be no doubt the principal Mahomedans in India, including those about the person of the King of Oude, were, if not the originators, at auy rate accessories before the fact. " It is not impossible that theOudean nobles, re collecting that the insurrection in Cabul and the difficulties we experienced in that country, led eventually to our restoring his kingdom to Dost Mahomed;then a prisoner in Calcutta, may have imagined that similar difficulties in Oude, such as have now occurred (in spite of the masterly rule of Lawrence) were calculated to lead to a similar. re sult iu the case of their own king. " It is therefore by no means improbable that the Oudean nobles about the king may have originated, joined, or, at the very least, connived at and con cealed their knowledge of the projected outbreak, arguing with themselves in the manner we have described--and the fact of the king residing peace ably and quietly in Calcutta, and the queen and heir-apparent being in England—the former by her 1111A3 and character not likely to be suspected of political intrigues, and the latter being engaged in agitating his cause with the sympathising people of England in a constitutional manner—were circum stances very much in favour of the policy we have ascribed to the noble, leading to the issue we sup pose them to have anticipated." The evidence now published in the Mofussilite is almost superfluous. Government are in possession gs are j e eb r niteii nee detente; b u t of th e most complete proofs of the guilt of the King and of hi s p r i me m i n i ster, t h e art f u l All y Nukh ee .

A correspondent of one of the Madras journals suggesta to Lord Hart is the advisability of raising. regiments composed entirely of native Christians, and doing so forthwith. He thinks that with the. aid of missionaries some 25,000 able-bodied men might be procured, that is if government is satis - tied with able-bodied men, and does not look for a grenadier stature in its recruits. The native Chris tians are not at present very willing to enlist in the native infantry egiartatsofar, to might lye ex pected from the barbarous 'mance of the dons and Mahomedans, the latter affect to look down upon the Christian sepoys as men who hav abandoned their caste. If all that we have heard and read of Jesuits and of other missionaries and their enterprises in &Althorn India is not fallacious, a far larger number of Christian reccruits than 25,000 might be procured in the Madras presi dency. Why an attempt is not made to embody them into separate regiments, we are at a loss to conjecture. It has hitherto been the policy of the Indian government to discourage the enlistment of native Christians. No native Christian, is unneces sary say, would hive been received into any of the Bengal regiments, and if a sepoy of any of those corps became a Christian, he would have been turned out. This was ono of the concessions made to those bodies of men who have proved so gloriously "st tench"—but it was a concession which was) necessary, when we re member that from the very earliest times the mode of recruiting adopted in the Bengal army was rotten to the core. Thera was, however, no such neseasity for discouraging the enlistment of Christians in either the Bombay or Madras armies, and measures might have been taken to induce greater numbers of them to join the corps of those presidencies than are now to be found in them. The great desideratum, how ever, ie to have regiments composed solely of native Christiana. Such a step will have the effect of ele vating the native Christians in their own esteem, and showing them that Government does not regard them as outcasts as the Mahomedans and Hindoos do. ,One of the results of such a course would be, that the regiments would never want recruits. W e need not say that we are adverse to any tampering with the religions of the races of this country; but on the other hand, we do say, if the Government of India thinks it politic to have a goodly number of regiments of native Christian soldiers, that if it now raises a few corpi of such men, and treats them with indulgence and favour, it will be little less than astonishing how thick native Christian appli cants for enrolment will be found to present them selves in the course of a very few years. —Phoenix, Sept. 5.

Yesterday the court-martial appointed to try Lieutenant George William Vansittart Yule, Royal Engineers, at Chatham, was occupied in hearing evidence in support of the last..charge preferred against tlea prisoner—that of scandalous conduct, unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentle man, in having falsely stated that he was out all day on the sth of September, and theref ,re could not answer an official letter addressed to him by order of colonel Sandham. The let er from Colonel Sandham was provedtohavebeen del ; vered at the prisoner's quarters on the in.er; ing of the sth of September, with directions to the servant to give it immediately to Lieutenant Yule. The letter was taken to the prisoner, who was asleep in b , d, the servant waking him and informing him that it was "On Service." Pr saner. ;however, took no notice of the letter, which was then laid on a table. On that day the prisoner did not leave his bed till five o'clock in the afternoon. He afterwards told the colonel that he bad not seen the letter adds essed to him, which was his reason for allowing it to remain unanswered, and he further stated that he was not at home when the letter arrived. Lieutenant-Colonel Reynolds, the Deputy Judge-Advocate, then informed tile Court that evidence for the prosecution was closed. Tne pri soner, when called upon for his defence, prayed the Court to allow him time to prepare Its defence, which request the President at once grante!, giving the prisoner until Tuesday morning for that purpose. The Inspector General of Mu ketry ruction, Col. C. C.

The number of troops daily undergoing instruction in the use of the Minis , rifle at Chatham is upwards of 300, and a second-class instructor from Ilythe has been attached to each battalion in order to haeten the instruetions of the officers and men who are about to proceed to India. The following officers, under orders to proceed to India, have joined heir depots at Chatham : Captain J. M. Lyle, 29th Regiment, and Eteign W. Walsely, 84th Regiment. Leave of absence, previous to their embarkation, has bee'n granted to Lieut. R. D. Knight and Lieut. R. H. Lewis, 94th Regiment. The monster cannon which was put through a se' ies of preliminary trials on Monday at Woolwich was examined yesterday preparatory to a cOnt'nue tion of experiments. From the appearance of the see,ment constituting the breech it was deemed prudent to order the protraction of the proofs beyond the day originally fixed—Monday next. Although care had bean taken to fill in with saw dust the vacuum left in the chamber by the pro gressive variation of the charge, a rent was disco vered in the metal, and a committee consisting of Mr. Mallett, the founder, and some of the ocficiala of the Royal Arsenal, has been appointed to exa mine into the nature of the defect. Four only of the seven shells firA. on Monday have beee found ; the remaining three, it is supposed,; are too deeply sunk in the earth to be easily recovered. The depth of the third shot, charged with 3011. of powder, has been ascertained to be 16 feet. The Hannibal, 91, screw, will haul out of the steam basin dock at Portsmouth to-day, and have her masts taken out of her to undergo a thorough survey._ _ The Urgent, 6, screw troop friga+e, Commtnder John W. D. M'Donald, went out of the steam basin at Portsmouth yesterday afternoon, and attended by the Echo, steam tug, Mr. Harding in command, proceeded to the measured mile et Stokes Bay, first taking a turn round the Nat) Light to warm her engines, and to correct a little priming which was visible. This difficulty havin2 been overcome, she made her first run with the tide, and performed the distance in 4 minutes 19 seconds. She returned against the title, doing the distance in 5 minutes 20 seconds. She took other two runs with the like results, and as a mean of the whole she gives a most satisfactory averaged speed of 12 full knots au hour. Her engines are of 400 nominal horse power, and worked like a lathe. The average of her revolutions were G 9, barometer 24, and steam pressurs say 13 lh. She has accom plished a knot an hour more than was expected of her, and she may be pronounced a most healthy and efficient troop frigate. In coming into the harbour her gallant commander ordered the star board cutter to be manned and lowered, which was dome by every hand or stranger, and in a In seconds, thus proving its simplicity and value. The Urgent has moored a!ongside the Victorious hulk, where she will comple , e for sea.

On Thursday afternoon a lams steamship, with two funnels, was observed off Plymouth, going up Channel with a disabled sailing ship in P - Av. • A. new species of tali; pump, invented by Mr. W. Roberta, of Millvall, has ju..t been subjec'ed to a series of experiments by the authorities of Wo .1- wich Arsenal on board the flagship Fisga,rd. The result is that the committee have recommended that the pump mid be introduced into the navy. The simplicity fits construction and the facility with which it can be moved from Oho) to place are among its chief recommendations, while its admirable working qualities were proved by the fact thht it pumped 800 gallons of water over the decks of the Fisgard in 7 min. 45 sec., or 1031 galons per minute. THE MILITIA. The sth Northumberland Fusiliers, a new regi ment, is in course of formation. Liberal terms have been offered to recruits. It is understood that the Royal North Lincoln shire Militia will be called upon to undertake gar rison duty in the Mediterranean. The Royal Glatnorganshire Militia has been in training at Swansea. The regioiont will not at present be ordered for embodiment. The Cardiganshire Militia has j oat completed its ordinary period of trainiNg. The regiment is said t.) be in a high state of efficiency.

I RUSSIAN CANNON FIRED UPON AN ENGLISH TOWN.--Tile generosity of the Government in the dis tribution of the guns taken from the enemy in the late war seems likely to iead to some inconvenience to the grateful recipients. A few days since c msiderable alarm• was excited at midnight in the borough of Wad ing by a tremendous explosion, the cause of which at tint could not be divined. It appears that the patriotic inhabitants of the borough some time since petitioned Lord Pantnure that one of the large guns captured from the Russians in the Crimea mieht be presented to the town, elan enduring trophy of British prowess. A lengthy correspondence took place between the inhabit ants and the War-office, and at length the joyful news was offichay communicated that a piece of artillery of the largest calibre was ab6ut to be forwarded to the borough. The inhabitants, grateful for this signal mark of favour, had a costly and elaborate piece of machinery constructed on which to mount the formidable weapon. In doe time it arrived at the station, and was carried amidst the demonstrations of the loyal to the site selected for its reception on Fosbury-bill—an eminence which, it may he observed, dom►nates the town. Here it was placed in what was hoped to be a state of repose ; but its isolated position offered too great a temptation to some of the amateur artillerymen of the borough. One night last week, about "the witching hour," some ardent students of the art of gunnery stormed the hill, captured the gun, and actually had the hardihood to load it with a heavy charge of gunpowder and grave', awl turn it upon the devoted town and its slumbering inhabitants. A fearful report announced that some terrible catastrophe had occurred. The windows i❑ the neighbouring houses were shattered, the gaslights were extinguished, a terrible gloom overshadowed the town, and two police. men on duty at the Great Western station were nearly ki.led (with fright) by the concussion of the atmosphere.

THE LAST OVERLAND MALL.—It will be reeollec!ed that the last B , mbay mail arrived at Suez 2a inst., three days before the Calcutta mail. Great eff its were wade to convey this mail rapidly throng', Egypt, but owing to the ob.tactes thrown in the way by the Egyptian authorities, a considerable delay took place. In consequence of this delay there was only just time to put the mail on board her Majesty's steamship Caradec, waiting at Alexandria for the Siamese Princes. The conduct of the Egyptian authorities is to be brought to the notice of the English goverhment. The Pacha of Egypt happened to be at Suez when the Bombay mail arrived there. As it happened the Calcutta mail arrived via Cagliari, and the Calcuttaand Bombay mails reached Marseilles nearly together. A. considerable saving of time might have been effected, if a steamer bad been ready at Alexandria on the 3J inst., to start for Malta and Cagliari, and the Bombay mail had notbeen delayed in Egypt, • On proceeding fo the Castle on Friday, Thome's' Moreto:t, Earl of - Berkeley, who .does net choose fa . 0 , 11 liiiiself a peer, me me .n the ralway, a44d we proceeded to the C,‘sle together. He had never been there since Lis father's t I erct ii, as from that time to the p; esent he has mairraiue i tta' privacy tOich. i was intended he should keep from the earliest et ,ge of manhood When we were alone together it occurred to me to remind him "not to put his signa ture to any p :pers that might b 3 eet before him the full purport of whi h he did not know, and which might be supposed ti affect my interests and those of my sons in retard to the entailed estates." His reply was much the same as he had ever made to 'me—"Oh, you msy be perfectly at rest in that rnatt-r ; they ‘4 on't ask me to si:or anything, and, a, I have told ion b4,fore, it wilt, be all r ght at my death, for I have only dealt with it for my life." getsa It this assurance 1 was cntent ; it was, in fact, th b stet of his if. ; alt tough in later years I h d become painfully aware tlia . alihougli he Dever had an idea of what it was i hey, made him do, on tio3 face of certain do'cu , tients to which I could gain access, as far as mere sienature went, he hail go.ie through the form of cu ting 4 , ff an entail. I had long ago told him ()flu discovery, and asked him who had been his lawyer in that important matter, and if he had had a receipt when he handed over to Lord Fitzioirlinge the large ac cumulation of his minority; but he answered, "No, b* did not know who his lawyer was, and he had not any receipts nor papers ; they did it among them." • On the moroiug of the funeral, about ten minutes before the ceremony was to tike place, Sir Maurke Berkeley asked me " to come into a priYa'e ro.ini to meet all i hur relation:, for he had a fete wor Ia to address to us coil ctiv, ly." lat once acotmpauied him to the room, anti there found as•emll.ed my brother, the Earl of Berk. hy, Mr. Augestus.&'r keley, Mr. Henry Berkeley, the memb,r for Biis tol, my biothereiti-laT, Mr. Maxse and Major Cassell, Mr. Boodle, the auditor of rents—en trusted, I brliev:, with the will—Colonel Kingscote, and Mr. Mort tii Brown, a dissenting minister. Sir Maurice Ilzrkeley then addressed us in an angry manner, when, having said, "it should be uo fault of he if the disunited family which we had been did not become a unitel one," toms astonishment, as well as sorrow and indigi.a• ion, he inamedi,t,ly charce!..d - me with having " Atacked him anony mouslyt in .the papers," and wi h falsehood, and concluded by asking the Earl of Berkeley "if it was true that he bad been ' cajol-d and cheated' in regard to the matter of the peerage 1" Lord Boy keloy replied " that he had not." and Astonished unexpected o if)a sats alnd animosityf ea o at u tr t ae r cd a k g a e t r i d : dei a smosu p lcpt hwro oppression —all i a e _ _ o t utrEhi moment, i i ni s i u una d i ja d e ' tn e d: n i .... when iadec i as: w tl aa fir p aod r u e i p be a me re ne d aw t c o citu h hs a ed v d e i: a s a e an e i n n , 1 , the ee turningfga i r s a o v : c o mb ar c y l o_ g s e e s 0103ftveenewl immedi ately at tention simply to the fact which was so evident, namely, an attempt to overreach us in the presence of witnesses, I addressed Lord Berkeley and said, " Now answer me this simple questi in—Have you not all your life told me, and did you not-tell me so late as yesterday, that I might set my heart at rest, for that nothing you had done in the mat ter of the peerage could affect my future interests and those of my sons—that all you had done was but for your life 'I" Lord - Berkeley distinctly and without hesitation, repiied, "I have, and did tell you so." 1 I then turned round oa what at once assumed -the appearance of a packed meeting for an especial '°se a .purpose, and said, " What more, gentlemen, do distasteful . r te e f q u i l lir t : ? m " an ' y rh o e f e th,, a, for the reply of Lord Berkeley seemed to he Most bystanders:Baelmorf. vAuoi;181/.., tus Berkeley and Mr. Henry Berkeley exclaimed t , gethor, addressin g m.., " We deny that you are the heir -presumptive," Re , 47e., While Colonel Kin2seute inquired o f Mr. Boodle "if Moreton Berkeley (the present earl) had power to cut off the entail, and it he had done so." Mr. Boodle replied that he had, and that he bad done so. On this, I smid to Lord Berkeley, "just answer me another simple question. Had you ever a deed placed before you and explained to you for that purpose 7 Have you ever had in your po , s3sSion any such deeds, or copies of this deed, or any other papers whatever rela'.jng to it in your possession I . ' His reply to this was—" No, I don't know, I ton no lawyer, I know of no deeds nor papers." .. Mr. Henry Berkeley then, among the confusion of voices, put a question so dictatiTial and so ridieu -I,,us that I thought it need. 'd no notice from • me ; he sad, addressing ,he Earl of Berkeley, " That is, Moreton, you know when you said you did not mean to affect your brother Grautloy'si interests you meant, of course, his interests as a younger brother." The eat' replied " Yes," and then added, as if recollecting some lesson, "Oh ! yes, I believe what my mother t id me iu preference to anybody," or words to that effect. tit e , ly false as these gross ohargf s mule against me by S:r Maurice were—for I had never attacked him :n any way, nor been guilt' of one ac , towards him which was not. in kindness end affection—and en t aged by the . fact that the words " eajo4d and cheated" had been furnished him from a let er of mine, marked ".Trivets amid confid, n LA," to Colonel Kingscote, I address d the asembly to the following effect. I told thorn I had come to Berke ley Castle under the mo,t fri:•ndly and affectionate feelitigJ, and on a civil invitat on hem Sir Maurice Berkeley, and that I little expeeted to find myself and to see my brother, Lord Berkeley, on so siYemn an occasion, disgracefully and iud.ecently eutrapß.d, to aid the cout nuoui designs on the i n h ri duce of the earldom, myself, and my ehil diet). Time, place, and persons were equAlly im proper. I knew that I stood none among them, and bad not a fi iend present, and that under feel ings s in.Jecently outraged as mine were I would not stay one moment longer there thm I o,ultl help. I should decline the funeral and retire t my room till the ceremony was over, and then oruer my carria g e and return home, leaving them to attend the House of God, and to reconcile prayer with their recent act, if their contoiences would permit them to do Po. Alas ! I was now no longer surprised that my sons were not asked to attend the funeral, for it was too evident but one class of witnesses were desired. The public and. the county of Gloucester will now know why I felt myself forced to take a painful step, and the false) rumours that seem to have been purposely set abroad to my injury: will receive their refutation.
