Vottrp. IS THERE AN UNBELIEVER ? BY T. H. BAYLY, ESQ. (Front the New Monthly Magazine for April.) Is there an unbeliever! One man who walks the earth And madly doubts that Providence Watch'd o'er him at his birth ! He robs mankind for ever Of hope beyond the tomb; What gives he as a recompence ? The brute's unhallow'd doom. In manhood's loftiest hour, In health, and strength, and pride, Oh ! lead his steps through alleys green, Where rills 'mid cowslips glide ; Climb nature's granite tower, Where man hath rarely trod : An - I will he then, in such a scene, Lent there is a God ! Yes,—the proud heart will ever Prompt the false tongue's reply ! An Omnipresent Providence Sell madly he'll deny. But see the unbeliever Sir king in death's decay ; And hear the cry of penitence ! He never learnt to pray ! SONG OF THE ANGLER. (From the Solace of Song.) O - waken, winds, waken ! the waters are still, And silence and sunlight recline on the hill ; The angler is v.-atehing beside the green springs For the low wticome sound of your wandering wings. His rod is aim: elded, his tackle unfreed, And the withe--moven pannier lies flung on the mead; He looks to the lake through its fane of green trees, Andi sighs for the curl of the cool summer breeze. Cilm-bound is the form of the water-bird fair, And the spear of the rush stands erect in the air ; nd the dragon-Ay roams o'er the lily bed gay, Where basks the bold pike in a sun-smitten bao. 0 waken, winds, waken ! wherever asleep, On cloud or dark enountain, or down in the deep ; The angler is wale:ling beside the green springs For the low welcome sound of your wandering wings. THE VETERAN TAR. (From Stoddores Songs and Poems.) When to Britain victorious, our navies return From the stormy arena of war, Oh ! who of her generous offspring will spurn The hand of the vetran tar ? He needs not his toil-withered breast to disclose And appeal to each separate scar ; Her own valiant children Britannia knows, And will succour the leteran tar. May he whom the battle end billow have spared Among those who lie perished afar, With the tokens begirt of his country's regard Live honour'd, a veteran tar. And when the stern king of the grave passes near To extinguish life's flick-ring star, May the foe he so often ha braved without fear Prove s friend to the vett ran tar ! CONTEMPORA 1 Y PRESS. (From the Morning Herald.) Lord Durham has, again, appeared at court. It is time that. hie lordship's Canadian doings were submit ted to the judgment of the country. Lord Durham deserted his government in October last, after issuing a manifesto calculated to increase in calculably the difficulties attendant on the maintenance of British supremacy in Canada, and the adjoining provinces. His lordship arrived in England in the be ginning of December. He was refused access to the presence of his Sovereign. Ministers, then, gave signs of eat intention to call his lordship strictly to account for the flagrant derelictions of duty into which he has been betrayed. The ex-despot, " in the strictest sense of the word," indicated, on the other hand, a determination to unveil all the base intrigues to which (as he insinuated) ht had been sacrificed. He assured the radicals of De vonport, in express terms, that he had statements to make in connection with Canadian affairs—statements, which would absolutely astound the people of this country. In the interval which has succeeded, Lord Durham's Canadian pranks have been permitted to recede into comparative obscurity; whilst his promised revelations of ministerial meanness remain yet to be made. The public interests—the cause of political morality— may not thus be trifled with. The whole Canadian affair must be ripped up. Let ministers explain why Lord Durham was not permitted to approach the presence of her Majesty, in December last, and why if he was then a fit subject for exclusion from the precincts of the court, he is now deemed worthy to be admitted there. Let Lord Durham make good his boastings at De r onport, and satisfy the country as to those important points in the political situation of Canada, of which the people of England were declared by his lordship to be in absolute ignorance. Br - o - ugham owes 31,41frt1i5 l seal of last year in reference to Canadian affairs, by a moderate portion at least of earnestness in their ad justment during the present session. Why, it may be asked, did Lord Brougham make himself so busy in relation to the movements of Lord Durham, while Lord Durham was yet dictator of the Canadas ? and why is the learned and loquacious lord absolutely si lent now in regard to movements which last year seemed so questionable ? Lord Durham's ordinances were disallowed but a few short months ago ; and Lord Durham, before he deserted his post, reclaimed in the face of the people of Canada, against the decision of the Imperial Parliament! Those ordinances ought, either, on the on hand, not to have been disallowed; or, on the other, that process of disallowance ought to be followed up by the arraignment of Lord Durham for his conduct li•fore, and also tfter that act of disal lowance took place. The matt& cannot rest in its present state. Lord Melbourne, Lord Durham, and Lord Brougham, are all bound to pross this affair to a natural conclu sion. Lord Durham, ac cording to a prevalent rumour, is now intriguing for the premiership. His lordship's vanity is active enough to impel him to engage in any scheme having such an object ; and his lordship has a tail in the House of Commons, composed of men like Mr, Ward, of Sheffie;d, and Mr. Leader—men as vain and as weak as the ex-despot himself. These person ages long to clutch offs - _!e on any terms. Their object is to get up a scheme of agitation for household suffer age and the ballot ; and to place Lord Durham at the head of the new popular movement. The spirit of party has long rendered administrative responsibility in this country a mere farce. Were it otherwise, Lord Durham would now be busied with plans for evading impeachment, instead of with plots to seise the reins of government. THE CLAIM OF POPERY TO THE PATRONAGE OF THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH. (From the Dublin gvening Mail.' Popery is just as encroaching on the rights of others as it is tenacious of its own. The Irish Papists having refused to the crown a constitutional veto upon the ap pointment of their prelates, claim, nevertheless, the privilege of appointing to dignities in the Established Church : and whilst they will not consent that a Pro testant Government shall regulate the civil affairs of the country, with respect to public education, they modestly lay claim to the patronage of the cro wn , i n administering the discipline of the Protestant religion. This intolerable spirit of encroachment is admirably illustrated in the case of the Deanery of Exeter, brought forward in the House of Lords on Tuesday evening by the excellent Bishop of the diocess. On the void sac, of the dignity, a Roman Catholic Irish nobleman had the unparalleled effrontery to apply to the Prime Minister for a conge d'elire in favour of a nominee of his own ; but even that audacity loses its enormity, if cowl are it with the cool and complying servility of tie Aim - Minister of the crown —who, instead of re buking the application as an unwarranted intrusion, civilly lamented his inability to comply with it, by stating 11 practical untruth : namely, that the dignity was not at the d sposal of the crown. This, of course, was a mere evasion : for his lordship did direct a conge d'elire to the Chapter of Exeter, in favour of a brother of a eolleague in the ca bi net ? an d h e still insists upon his right to ppoint in virtue of a prescription of three hundred years in its favour : but it is an evasion of the most slippery kind ; in which, though resolved to bestow the dignity on another, he insinuates that but for this bar to his power, he would willingly have con ferred it on the nominee of the Popish usurper. The Queen is the chief temporal magistrate of the Church of England. It is in virtue of this office that she has an' control over the appointment of our pre lates and other dignitaries : and it is only in virtue of his situation as her Majesty's principal adviser, that Lord Melbourne has anything to do with these appointments. Is the temporal head of the Church of England to nominate to high places in the church, at the advice or entreaty of the enemies of that church ? Is her prin cipal adviser warranted in recommending to her Ma jesty such a course ? It is well, perhaps, for his lordship that in this in stance he did not yield to his inclinations or his policy. The failure of the Popish Viscount's project has saved the Prime Minister from an impeachment ; for surely greater treason could not be than to betray the temporal chief magistrate of the church into the hands of her enemies. But for the exposure of this scheme and the defeat of all such projects in future, the church is in debted deeply to the vigilance and spirit of that excel- Itnt prelate, the Bishop of Exeter.

LECTURES ON ANIMAL MECHANICS. On Wednesday evening, T. Rymer Jones, Esq. delivered the third of his interesting lectures to a large audience. We in general find the soft and fluid portions of animal substances supported internally or externally by a solid frame work, without which it would collapse and be unable to retain any definite form. We find, indeed, various polypi which are mere gelatinous masses, but the corals supply us with ex amples, in this class of the animal kingdom, of animals pos sessing internal skeletons. The common coral of commerce is, in fact, literally speaking, merely the skeleton provided for propping up a living polypipherus animal, for giving it an arborescent arrangement, and that form in which it is met with in nature. This red coral is generally obtained from the bottom of the Mediterranean, and is found to consist of a gelatinous bark which covers the red coral itself. Like many of the simpler gelatinous bodies, the exterior gelatinous bark of the coral is covered with a multitude of mouths, by which the creature can catch hold of any passing substance capable of administering to its support. To a variety of this creature we owe the formation of numerous islands in the Pacific ocean. Marine animais are, however, chiefly pro vided with external calcerous covering, the materials of which as in the coral, are secreted by the creature from the waters of the deep. In order to expand the coverings, a variety of contrivances are resorted to, otherwise, if the shells were in capable of eulogement, the growth of the animal would be arrested. The echinus supplies us with a beautiful example of this. Its shell is composed of thousands of differently shaped plates, between each of which a thin membraneous substance passes, by means of which the animal has the power of enlarging every plate as required ; and is thus enabled to reach its native state. We find in the deep as well as in the dry land, a number of animals whose shells, whether, mem braneous, horny, or calcerous, are arranged round their bodies in so many wings, by means of the joints of which they are able to turn or twist their bodies as they please. The mille pede is a familiar example of this, which, preying upon vegetable food, has a great number of legs which are not re markable for strength. The centipede, however, another species of the same tribe, has fewer and stronger legs, being destined to prey upon insects and other animal food. Still the centipede would be unable to fly, as there is no portion of its body sufficiently strong to support the action of wings, and we find that in winged insects where strength is wanted, that a number of the anterior wings are concentrated into one, the hinder portion of the body remaining the same ; as insects never grow after they become possessed of wings, there is no necessity for providing means for the enlargement of their horny coverings, neither do we find that such is the case. The butterfly furnishes us with a familiar example of the mode in which winged insects attain maturity. Upon laying the egg, it assumes the form of a caterpllar, and is furnished with sixteen rudimental legs. It casts its covering no less than four times as it advances in growth. When it becomes sufficiently matured it is converted into a chrysalis, and in this state is incapable of providing itself with nourish ment. It thus patiently awaits that further change which is capable of converting it into an insect capable of flight. The last change—and the butterfly makes its appearance—not as in the catterpillar, with a number of rings and legs ; but with all its limbs attached to in the anterior part, to these sequents which are united into one strong mass, firm enough to support him. In an insect you have a separate and moveable head, but this gives great feebleness to it, and in order to p ossess the strength with which we see the spider gifted, some further provision is needful, and in it the head is attached to the body. In the spider all the anterior portions of the body are concentrated in one powerful mass, and to it are attached the legs. By this contrivance the spider has enormous power to destroy the insects upon which it lives. The same struc tures are found to prevail in marine animals. The shrimp is furnished witn numerous rings and legs, but the shrimp is not endowed with strength. We find, however, in the skele ton of the lobster, an animal which is justly considered as the tiger or cat of the sea, as it pounces upon its prey with ease, that the anterior portions are joined together as in the spider. The great instrument of motion in the lobster is the tail, in which all the strength of its body seems to be placed. By one stroke of this organ a lobster will dart in a straight line twenty feet through the water. The facility with which they move, by means of this tail, is quite extraordinary. Although the two claws of the lobster may appear to be given for the same purpose, they are two different instruments. The one ir covered with large blunt teeth, whilst the other claw is covered with fine teeth, adapted to cut and to saw. Now, these two claws are by this simple arrangement con verted into two different instruments, for while the lobster watches at the bottom of the sea for its prey, the blunt claw is the anchor by which it attaches itself to the substances growing there to prevent its being washed away, whilst the other claw acts as a pair of jaws for the reduction of its food, and in enabling it to obtain its nourishment. There is very little difference, except in shape, between the crab and the lobster. The crab is formed to live upon the shores of the sea, and not in its depths, and for this reason requires not a long tail. What is the result of this modification ? The legs are so strong that the crab can run upon the surface of the ground instead of being obliged to live in the sea. The land crab of the West Indies is strong enough to leave the shores and make its way to the mountains. As the crabs and lobsters are endued with no provision for increasing the di mensions of their cloisters, they are obliged to cast them once a year, and provide themselves with new ones. Prior to the period of shedding their shells the animals pine, so that they are enabled, without much difficulty, to withdraw their diffe rent members from their tight casings. By a singular pro vision of nature these animals are able to reproduce a leg or a claw to supply the place of one which may have been broke off; and should one of these organs be injured, the creatures at once break off the fractured limb, and proceed to replace it with a new one. There is a species of lobster which is left entirely naked. It is called a hermit crab, because it lives in a shell which does not belong to it—and a soldier crab, be cause it obtains this shell in a very illegal manner. As it is unable to swim, in consequence of its want of a tail, it is ne cessitated to lead a sedentary life. As it has no suit of ar mour it must adopt some plan for concealing the hinder por tions of its body from injury. Exercising an idea of property, by no means of a right description, it selects a shell fish of a proper size, and attacks it. After mastering the animal, it eats it out of house and home, and immediately establishes itself in the animal's shell. Its hind legs are very short, by which means it is able to establish its body in the shell which it chooses. Its two claws are likewise of unequal size, other cell, it . would riot - fiaile teen able tage. Mr. Jones will consider the nature of muscular action in the lecture of to-morrow. BARON GURNEY'S LECTURE TO THE DISSENTERS. A trial took place lately at Bodmin, (Cornwall assizes, be fore Mr. Baron Gurney,) which exhibits to the country such a clear illustration of the loyalty and morality of the " tender consciences" of the dissenting purists, as has not very lately appeared. Five of the " conscientious," one of whom was a preacher, were indicted for a riot which they had created and conducted at Truro, in the month of May last. It seems that the consciences of some of the dissenters of Truro were so tender, that they would not allow their pious possessors to be honest and pay their church-rates ' and that five of them, named Barrett, Ed war d s , R an d a ll, Spurr, and Ball, had suffered their goods to be distrained rather than quietly discharge an honest and just debt. But, even this would not satisfy their consciences ; for, when the auctioneer proceeded to the sale of goods distrained, these " tender consciences" gathered together a conscientious mob, and entering the auctioneer's shop, prevented the sale of the goods, afterwards broke open his door, tore down the shelves, smashed his win dows, and would have cracked his head if he had not escaped from their grasp, and secured himself from the free and liberal operation of their " religious scruples." So elated were the souls of these dissenters, with the pious achieve ments of the day, that in the evening they employed a band to parade the town in celebration of the triumphs of liberty of conscience over the " b y old church," as they pro fanely designated the christian church of this country. Three of the ringleaders of this riot are linen drapers, in a highly respectable way of business, one is a teacher of dissent, and the others appear to be of the better sort of dissenting worshippers ; notwithstanding, the placards published, and the language used, and the proceedings altogether, were, as the judge said in summing up, . disgraceful to them as men, but much more so as men professing religion." This con demnation of their conduct, which they received from Mr. Baron Gurney, will be of so much the more weight with dis senters, inasmuch as the learned judge is himself a dissenter, of, we believe, the Baptist denomination. His lordship very truly observed that,— " Church-rate was an ancient rate payable by law. It was the duty of all men to pay it, as it was the duty of all men to submit to the law. But to endeavour to render the law odious by acts of violence was a crime punishable in itself, and if carried on in the way this had been, it became of serious importance." Yes, and it would be difficult to point out the difference between the conduct of these dissenting rebels who thus break the laws, and that the Chartists who threaten to ac complish their ends by pikes and pistols. The principle is precisely the same in both cases, and the parties only differ in their modes of carrying it out. The learned baron gave his dissenting brethren in general a complete " settler" in the following words : " Till within the last ten years no man living had ever heard of ' conscientious scruples' upon this particular subject from any class of dissenters, nor until questions of conscience had been mixed with political feeling. He respected the rights of dissenters—no man more so ; but he felt great dis tress when he heard conscience prostituted by an admixture of political feeling. If a man purchased a house he gave a price subject to all burdens upon it, and he calculated that he should have to pay certain rates and certain taxes, and in proportion to these, so had he estimated its value ; and he (the learned baron) had never heard that any one of these persons had paid over to his landlord any sum he might have saved in consequence of the reduction of any tax ; and until any man had done that, the less he said about his conscience the better:" This is a well-merited chastisement, and the " tender con sciences" present must have writhed under each well-directed stroke. " The less the dissenters say about their consciences the better," is a remark which may be equally well applied to the whole course of their pretendedly conscientious oppo sition to the scriptural church from which they separate. The officer who distrained the goods says, in his evidence, that " the defendant Randall would insist upon his taking a Bible." The reason of this is obvious, and thus remarked the learned judge when referring to the shameful placards which the pious folk had issued : " More disgraceful publications he had never had the mis fortune to meet with—disgraceful to them as men, but much more so as men professing religion. It appeared that a Bible had been taken from Randall, Mr. Randall proffering that Bible evidently for the purpose of exciting odium. That any man, much more a religionist, and still more a teacher of religion, should so act, was one of the most disgusting circumstances which during a long professional life he had ever heard of." This, be it again observed, is the language of a dissenter, but of an honest man and faithful judge ; who tells us, that " one of the most disgusting circumstances, which during a long professional life he had ever heard of," was transacted by dissenters under the garb of religion ' • and that too in re ference to the much-agitated subject of church-rates, a ques tion not of religion so much as pounds, shillings, and pence. However, his lordship has given one of the most effectual blows ever administered to the church-rate rebels, and we have little doubt that the punishment of the Cornish dissen ters, who are now in prison suffering for their crime, will have a salutary effect upon their free brethren in other parts of the kingdom. The learned judge thus passed upon the criminals the sen tence of the court : " You have been convicted of the crime of riot, and that crime has received great aggravation from the motives with which it was promoted, by the intention manifested by that placard, which three of you have disgraced yourselves, and the body to which you belong, by publishing. It is abso lutely necessary that the law should be obeyed, and they who set themselves up in opposition to the law, will find, sooner or later, that the law is too strong for them, and that they would have consulted their own happiness as well as respec tability, if they had obeyed the law. The conduct which has been observed by you distinguishes the case of the three of you from the other two, and I shall therefore distinguish your case in the punishment. The sentence of the court upon you, Barrett, Edwards (who is a dissenting teacher), and Randall, is, that you, and each of you, be imprisoned one month, and pay a fine of £2O ; and upon you, Spurr and Ball, that you be imprisoned one month ; and that all of you enter into recognizances for your good behaviour for three years in £lOO ; and that you be further imprisoned until the cute be paid, and the recogniancea be entered into-,!' COURT OF EXCHEQUER-THURSDAY. IN RE THE CANADIAN PRISONERS. The four prison.ers, whose cases were brought under the notice of this court, during last term, were again brought up this morning in the custody of the gaoler of Newgate. They appeared improved in looks since they were last before the court, and were very respectably dressed. The Attorney-general, the Solicitor-general, and Sir Frederick Pollock, were heard on the part of the court last term. Mr. Wightman now followed on the same side. He said he appeared to support the return to a writ of habeas corpus, made by Mr. Batcheldor, the keeper of the House of Cor rection, at Liverpool, commanding him to bring up John Goldsworthy Parker, William Alves, James Brown, and Robert Walker. The return set out certain statutes of the legislature of Upper Canada, by which any one arraigned for for high treason might, by petition and confession of his guilt to the lieutenant-governor, receive a pardon, upon condition, that the prisoners be transported for life. That the prison ers had been so arraigned for high treason, that they had con fessed their guilt by a petition to Sir G. Arthur, and there being no means in Upper Canada for carrying the sentence into execution, they were sent to Lower Canada for that pur pose, and the same reason operating in the lower province, they were sent to England, and were then in the keeping of the gaolor for safe custody, while the means were provided for transporting them in execution of their sentence. The learned gentleman went at great length into the old authori ties, to show that the prisoners were in legal custody in Eng land, in order to carry out what was a legal sentence in Upper Canada. His learned friends, who appeared for the prisoners, contended they had given no assent to their own transportation after the pardon had been granted, and that they might have refused that assent even though they had petitioned, and in that petition had assented to the condition imposed upon the pardon by the act of the legislature. He would contend that they, having given their assent, could not afterwards revoke it, without reverting back to their former condition, and taking their trial for high treason. But this was not a:pardon by virtue of the prerogative of the crown, but under a particular act of the provincial legislature, to the provisions of which he would hereafter call the attention of the court. He contended that the pardon bound the crown, on the one hand, and that the party could not, after the par don, be tried for high treason ; but, on the other hand, the prisoner was bound by the conditions of the pardon, and could not revoke the acceptance of such conditions as the pardon contained. Such being the case, the conditions being recog nised by the act of the provincial parliament, there must be a power of carrying them into effect, or the act of parliament would be perfectly nugatory. When was the revocation to take place ? He was now in England, in execution of his sentence ; but suppose he was at his destination in Van Die man's Land, and got tired of it, was he then to revoke his assent to the conditions, and go to any part of the worldihe pleased. Mr. Baron Alderson—lf the one party can revoke, so surely can the other. If the party can revoke so can the crown. If the prisoner can revoke, to escape punishment, so can the crown, and punish him for high treson. That is a state of things that can be contended for. Mr. Wightman—That was exactly his argument, and he thought he need pursue it no further. His learned friend had assumed that Upper Canada was a foreign country, and then contended that the courts in this country could not give effect to or aid any foreign penal penal laws. Lord Abinger—Suppose that some prisoners legally con victed in the courts in France, and-were shipped from Calais for Brest, and on the voyage put into Portsmouth, would the courts here grant a habeas corpus to discharge those legally convicted_ prisoners? _ _ _ _ _ _ Mr. Wightman apprehended not, and further he contended that our colonies, all owing allegiance to the crown, could not be called foreign countries. But take the converse of the points made by his learned friend, If the courts here were not to take Canadian laws into consideration, so the Canadian courts, on the same principle, would not be bound to take any notice of English laws : but would they contend that if a convict ship were to put into a Canadian port, would the Ca nadian courts grant a habeas corpus and discharge the pri soners ? He apprehended not. The learned gentleman con cluded by saying, that he had no authorities to cite—he had no acts of the British legislature, giving the colonies power to transport ; they had, however, recognised that power which had been often done. At all events, even though the courts should be of opinion that the return was not sufficient, they were bound to return the prisoners to the place they came from, and let them be dealt with according to the laws they had confessed they bad broken in a very heinous degree. Mr. Hill then replied, and went over nearly all the argu ments he bad formerly used. He contended, even were the return held sufficient, still it was a principle of the English law, that no man could consent to his own transportation ; therefore the supposed contract was void. He contended that the Queen had no power to impose a lesser punishment without the consent of the prisoner, and that given after the conviction of the party. This was an attempt to force upon the court the laws of the legislature of Canada, which they would defeat. Lord Abinger—The Queen is the sovereign of Canada, as well as of England and Van Dieman's Land. Had she not, then,-the power to carry out the sentence of her courts In any of those countries ? Mr. Hill said the pardon in this case was not given under the prerogative of the crown, which could not be communi cated to any lieutenant-governor ; it was under an act of par liament of the legislature of the province, which had no power out of the province, as was shown by the act of indemnity, which had been rendered necessary by the proclamation which had been issued by Lord Durham, and which had been pronounced illegal in their places in parliament by the lord chancellor, the solicitor-general, and others. Lord Abinger said it was not usual to quote the speeches of any one in parliament as precedents in law. Mr. Hill.—He was merely using them to show that the laws of Upper Canada had no force out of it. There - was no thing on the face of the return to show that the parties had been guilty of any sufficient crime to justify such a punish ment as transportation for life. He contended that the re turn was bad on the face of it, as it gave no show of warrants from the lieutenant-governor of Upper Canada to the person who made the return, and if it was bad in one instance, itwas a mere piece of waste paper. He said, that in this country, nothing was done without a written warrant ; and surely the same principle was at least necessary in matters connected with the life and liberty of the subject in the colonies. He hoped that he and his learned friends had satisfied the court that the prisoners then before them were entitled to their fill Lord Chief Baron, after complimenting the whole of the counsel engaged in the cause, for the able manner in which it had been argued, said the court would take time to consi der their judgment. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MA NCHESTER—FRIDAY EVENING. There was no movement of moment on Wednesday-morn ing, upon the Chester Cup, but at night King Cole's friends could not keep him firm ; he fell back a full point ; in one instance, 71 to 1 was laid. Our quotations will show, that from some cause yet sub rose, he has not recovered his po pularity.—Harkaway and Caravan have rested firm ; the forme! has simply the call.—A bet of hundred was made yesterday, between Harkaway and Lord Normanby's mare Gipsey, five pounds being given for the choice—of course the horse had the call, as 8 to 1 was laid at the same period against the mare. This, however, would have been taken afterwards, as well as to-day, and we rather guess she will draw hourly more into favour. We noticed the Liverpool gentle - men willing, on Tuesday, to accept 14 to 1 on Sir Thomas Stanley's horse, whilst the cognoscenti have lavished 20 to 1. They imagined a screw loose. Such appears to be far from the case. 100 t 6 6on Wednesday night were taken in a good quarter yesterday : 14 to 1 as eagerly to-day-100 to 8 was the outside general proposal. Lugwardine and Zillah both creep more into favour: 100 to 51 on the former was booked, and, we think, would have been taken on to a good sum. Puff and Sir Ralph, together with Sir Richard Bulkeley's filly, were backed yesterday. To-day the busibess has been singularly dull. The prices will no doubt fluctuate daily next week, as parties receive their accounts from the scene of action, or interested gentlemen pass through. Thus inn the figures at the present hour : THE CHESTER CUP, P.P. 51 to 1 agst Mr. Ferguson's Harkaway (tk this evening) 6to 1 „ Captain Berkeley's Caravan (tk) 7to 1 „ Lord Normanby's Gipsey (tk) 10 to 1 „ Captain Healey's Van Buren (tk) 100 to 8 „ Sir T. Stanley's Cowboy (off) 18 to 1 „ Lord de Tabley names Zillah _ _ 20 to 1 „ Lord Westminster's Cardinal Puff (t, aft off) 100 to 51 „ Mr. Griffith's Lugwardine (tk freely) 20 to 1 „ Mr. Allen's Percy (off 25 to 1 „ Mr. Barrow's Eaglet (off) 40 to 1 „ Mr. Mark Browne's Hopeful 50 to 1 „ Mr. Mostyn names Piccotee (tk freely) 6 to 5 on the field against three. _ _ Harkaway ran in Geland, at the Curragh, on Friday, for the Queen's Plate, four miles, and was beaten by Mr. Hutchins' gr c Creghane, after a very severely contested race, by half a length. 10 to lon Harkaway. THE DERBY. There is so little doing that quotations are needless. Cesar stands at 6to 1, sans takers. Sleight-of-Hand has continued to be backed freely at 20 to 1, as noticed ; offers to take 7 to 2 Casar or Dragsman win. Af.ther has been in force at 30 to 1. Camellino at 100 to 3. TATTERSALL'S—THURSDAY. The attendance was scarcely less numerous than on Mon day, but business was not by any means so brisk. The most interesting feature in the betting was the retrogression of the Dey of Algiers, who retired to 12 to I , without a friend : the inference drawn is, that he is not quite " correct." Amongst the other favourites, the changes were not very important ; it is to be noticed, howeve6, that although Caesar retains the position assigned to him on Monday, Dragsman treads on his heels, 7 to 1 having been taken several times. The Corsair was at 7 to 1, offers ; we did not observe that any thing was done. Euclid was in better odour, 13 to 1 was taken, and an offer made to take 15 to 1 in thousands twice over. Sleight-of-Hand wag backed freely at 18 to 1 ; while Valaincourt, who was at 17 to 1, on Monday, declined to 25 to 1, without backers. King of Kelton had several friends at half the odds laid on Monday. Camellino was also in demand at the old price. The only bet we heard on the Oaks was a small one of 12 to 1 against Sir G. Heathcote's Le Belezza. THE DERBY. 12 to 1 agst Mr. Thornhill's lot 20 to 1 „ Sir G. Heathcote's lot 13 to 2 „ Lord Jersey's CHsar (tk) 7to 1 „ Mr. G.

YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY.—The opening of this railway from York to the Junction of the Leeds and Selby line is fixed for the 29th of May. The necessary works for the coal depots, &c., are in rapid progress, and the ele gant archway under the city walls will soon be finished. MIDDLETON.—On Monday evening, the musicians of the Middleton Church Band, who had played on Saturday even ing for the chartists, were required to meet at the Free Gram mar School, whert they were called upon to give up their in struments, which they did, and had the money returned which they had paid towards the purchase of them. We un derstand they were teachers of the Church Sunday School, and it is reported that they are also to be dismissed from the _ school,—Afancheeter Quardion. ~,. , DUTY ON COTTON WOOL. We lately mentioned, says the Greenock Advertiser, that the Chamber of Commerce there had memorialized the go vernment in favour of a repeal of the duty on cotton wool. The following reply has been received by the chairman of the chamber " Downing-street, April 17, 1839. " Sir,—l am desired by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to acknowledge the receipt of a memorial, signed by you on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce at Greenock, and placed in his hands by Mr. Wallace, praying that a measure may be carried through parliament for repealing the duty on the im portation of cotton wool. In reply, lam directed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to state to you, that it would give him much pleasure to think that the state of the finances of this country was such as to admit of the reduction which the Chamber of Commerce propose ; but that, under present circumstances, he can sec no prospect of being able to give that relief to the manufacturer which it is the object of the memorial to obtain. _ " 1 beg you will communicate this reply to the Chamber of Commerce of Greenock.—l have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient servant, R. BOURKE. " John Gray, Esq., Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, Greenock." ARROGANCE OF A POPISH PRIEST AT A FUNERAL. The following facts, which occurred recently, within seven miles of this city, should teach our liberal Protestants that they may in vain think of conciliating the esteem of the mem bers of the Church of Rome, as long as the priests of that domineering church exercise their baneful influence to render the Protestant faith contemptible in the eyes of their deluded flocks, and, consequently, stir up a spirit of hatied and ill-will in their minds towards those who profess it. Some time since, a Roman Catholic, in the parish of Taugboyne, died, and having lived on friendly terms with his Presbyterian neighbours—which people form the majority of the inhabit ants of that parish—a number of them, intending to pay a mark of respect to his memory, accompanied his remains to the burial ground at Nu. Cunningham. Here the coffin was removed from the hearse, and, preceded by the priest, was taken into the chapel, for the purpose of having the burial service, according to the Romish ritual, perforined over it. At a certain part of the service, the officiating priest desired all present to kneel, as they were going to pray. This the Presbyterians present refused to do, when his reverence, in a peremptory and menacing tone, told them either to kneel or immediately quit the house. With the latter part of this mandate, as might be expected, they complied ; but this did not save them from the ire of the priest, who, instead of tak ing advantage of the solemn event that brought them toge ther, to shew his auditors the uncertainty of the present life, and exhorting them to be mindful of their latter end, and to seek an interest in the- blood of the atonement, before it should be. too late, commenced a furious attack upon the Presbyterians, who, he said, had no church, and that he was prepared to prove this where he then stood. This he affected to do, by repeating some of the oft-refuted calumnies which Papists are in the habit of uttering against Luther and Calvin, and wound up his declamotory harangue by a general attack on the Protestant faith. _ _ _ Now, we are bound to say, that the Presbyterians, on this occasion, should not have entered the chapel at all ; but if prompted by curiosity to do so, or not wishing to have their remaining outside ascribed to a feeling of bigotry, how could a priest expect that a people, proverbial for their aversion to the doctrines and ceremonies of Popery, should prostrate themselves at his bidding? Such a deliberate insult will not soon be forgotten in the quarter where it occurred ; and as it in some degree exhibits the rampant spirit which the Italian Church now assumes even in Ulster, we think it our duty to bring it before the Protestant public.—Derry Sentinel. STATE OF TRADE. LEEDS.—Very little alteration has taken place in the woollen trade of this district during the week. The markets have been quite as dull as for some weeks previously ; still all the manufactories are kept going the usual time, and we hear of no want of work. We believe there has been a fair demand for domestic consumption. • BRADFORD MARKET.—The demand for goods on Thurs day was about an average one, and former rates were main tained. In the yarn market there was a fair business done on previous terms ; but the wool market was less animated. Indeed, there seems an indisposition to purchase largely until the character of the new clip has been ascertained ; yet the staplers give out that ere long the prices will be aug mented, and that there will be a brisk demand. __ WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, APRIL 26.—The state of our market still continues heavy upon the whole, but some holders having submitted to a trifling reduction in the price of long wool, there has been more business done in this arti cle than for some previous weeks. There is no variation in short wool. LEICESTER.—The demand for goods for the home trade continues very dull. The glove trade irbrisk. Some of the worsted mills are running short time. Fleece wool is firm, particularly in low short wools ; skin combing is offering more firmly, and a shade lower ; farmers' parcels vary from 375. to 40s. OLDHAM.—The hatting trade was never known to be so brisk ; masters cannot get hands sufficient to meet their de mands. Several who have not been employed in the hatting trade for the last fifteen or twenty years have commenced working in that trade. The trade in cotton mills is rather dull, especially where they spin for export. SILK TRADE.—The silk trade is very brisk indeed; hands have full employment of almost all description of work.

THE PENNY POSTAGE QUESTION.—The revenue of the Post-office is better by £28,257 for the year ending sth April, 1839, than it was in the year preceding. It is remarkable, however, that £23,000 of this increase occurred within the last quarter of the year, owing probably very much to the correspondence occasioned within that period by the large importation of foreign grain. Besides the net revenue of the Post-office, for the year ended the sth of April - inst., sup posing the published abstract to be accurate, shows a defici ency of upwards of £lOO,OOO when compared with the year ending sth April, 1837. Thus, Net revenue, year ending sth April; - 1837 (see - Report, p 11), £1,657,479; ditto, sth April, 1839 (as now published), £3,548,000. Deficiency of 1836, £310,479. And it is £9OOO less than it was twenty-four years ago. But the general finances of the country exhibit a most promising aspect ; and there is a gross increase in the year of £2,132,866, the present is certainly a most convenient season for pressing the question of an uniform penny postage, with persevering energy, upon the immediate attention of her Majesty's Chancellor of the Exchequer.—Morning Chronicle. LAUGHABLE AFFAIR—A CAUTION TO MATRIMONIAL AD VENTURERS.—For some hours on the afternoon of Thurs day last, the peaceful village of Harrow-on-the-Hill was the scene of the greatest excitement, in consequence of the out rageous proceedings of the scholars at the celebrated seat of learning in that village. It appears that a gentleman residing in that neighbourhood, being tiredof alife of " single blessed ness," resolved upon advertising for a partner in one of the London papers. The advertisement having attracted the ob servation of some of the wags of the school, they determined on playing the discontented swain a hoax, and accordingly directed a letter to the Post-office, in answer to the advertise ment, making an appointment for the purpose of an interview at three o'clock on Thursday afternoon. At the hour- ap pointed, the concoctors of the scheme proceeded to the spot, followed by a large party of the other boys, who remained in ambush, not to alarm the gentleman, who was punctual to the appointment. After he had remained there for some .. _ time, the prime movers in the affair began, as they passed, taunting him at her tardiness, when at last, suspecting the trick, he began beating a retreat. The other boys followed, hooting him all the way, until he took shelter in a plumber's shop. The boys instantly surrounded the house, and threat ened to break the windows u n less he was turned out, which the shopkeeper was ultimately compelled to do. The gentle man then took to his heels in the direction of the King's Head inn, followed by the boys and others of a larger growth, making a crowd of about 500 persons, pelting him with eggs, and knocking his hat over his eyes, so that by the time he entered the inn, he was in a most pitiable plight, his coat having been lit era lly torn from his back. Mr. Beas ley, the landlord, by way of a ruse, sent a post-chaise to the front door, round which the mob instantly congregated ; but after waiting about half an hour, they ascertained that the object of their search h a d ma d e his escape from the rear of the premises. " Hark forward !" was immediately the cry, and after the whole assemblage had crossed several fields, they eventually ran down their game at the farm of a Mr. Clayton, about half a mile distant, where he had taken re fuge in the coal cellar. Having demanded that he should be given up to them, and refused, they threatened to pull down the house, when the unfortunate man was brought forth from his hiding-place, and the mob were conducting him in triumph to the village, where they were met by the heads of the school and some of. the principal inhabitants, who rescued him from further violence. There is no doubt. the outrage Will bep2l4 the subject of a judicialinvestigation. Jamaica Leward Isl.

Several parcels have since been taken for shipment coastwise and for Ireland, and, yesterday, there was an improved demand gen erally : the town's millers were pretty large purchasers, some par cels were also taken for the interior, as well as on speculation ; and, in some instances, let to 2d per bushel over the rates obtainable on sat Isola rowan, ub 88 to is 3d, the better description of Mediterranean at gs to gs 6d per 701bs. Oats, too, were more inquired for, and were the turn dearer : good Irish mealing brought 3s 8d to 3s gd, the best 3s 10d per bushel.
