ADMIRAL STOPFORD. ,Admiral the Hon. Sir Robert Stopford, G.C.8., • ,rd son of James, second Earl of Courtown, by Mary, • wife, daughter and co-heir of Richard Powys, Esq., Mintlesbam Hall, in Suffolk, was born sth February, 38, and entering the navy at an early age, served some time in the Prince George, bearing the flag of - ear-Admiral Digby, on the American station. In :9 0 he obtained post rank ; and in that year com- laded the Lowestoffe frigate, then employed in the ..iaannel. His next appointment was to the Aquilon, r if guns, stationed in the Mediterranean, which, in .794, acted with the fleet under Lord Howe, ane re. r‘eatod the signals of the rear division, on the rr rPmo table Ist of June. In the following autumn, C ir4ptain Stopford was removed to the Phaeton, 35 and, in 1795., joined the squadron destin ed to es:va-J. 'the Prin cess Caroline of Brunswick to England.. S'aortly after returning to the grand fleet , the Pl - t 'AV: a f orme d p ar t i of Admiral Cornwallis's detachmenwhich fell in with the French squadron, and, by a series of masterly manceuvres, effected a re tr eat as honourable to those concerned, as the 'Achievement of a brilliant -;ietory. Stopford sulY4equently drove on shore ivEchoue, of 28 guir4 ; and, in company with the AGSV n, captured La Daphne and La Flore. In 1798, foe Phaeton, cruised under Sir John Borlase Warre. ri off L'lxle de Dieu, assisted at the capture of SFr UT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS several i vessels l.aden with naval stores and provisions, and re ndered much essential service by the destruction of nu .ny armed ships and privateers. In 1799, Cap tain itopford was appointed to the Excellent, of 74 guns, in which ship he took L'Arethuse, a national eutt t r, and several merchant vessels ; and after remain og :for some time with the Western squadron, sailed to the "Leeward Islands, whence he returned - with a broad pen 3ant in the summer of 1802. In 1803, he com mis: toned the Spencer, of 74 guns, at Plymouth ; in 180 a, joined Lord Nelson's fleet in the Mediterranean ; in 1,805, received the appointment of a Colonelcy of Ma rines ; and, in 1806, acted a gallant part. and was wo' ended, in Sir John Duckworth's victory off St. Do ago. We treat find this enterprising seaman em pit reed in the expedition against Copenhagen, and, in 18 , 08, having, obtained the rank of Rear-Admiral, ap pc anted to a command in the Channel fleet. In this aistinguishod position, his active exertions, his par • ticipation in the attempt to destroy the French shipping `in the Aix Roads, the attack on the enemy's fleet in • the Basque Roads, &c., elicited the unqualified commen dation of the Commander-in-Chief, Lord Gambier, and a vote of thanks from Parliament. In 1810, the Rear- Admiral. was nominated to the command of a squadron employ ed at the Cape of Good Hope, and while on this si anion conducted the naval part of the armament evhieht subjugated Java, a service which obtained for him., once again, the thanks of Parliament. In 1812 be became Vice-Admiral ; in 1813 returned to Eng 4-ad ; in 1815 was crewed a Knight Commander of the Bath, and has since 'oeen made Admiral of the White and a G.C.B. I - Ls admirable conduct of the operations a the Syrian c'east are too fresh in the public memory . > require any notice here. Sir Robert married in 1809 Mary, daughter of Com i saioner Pareshawe, of the Plymouth Dock-yard, and several. children. COMMODORE NAPIER. 01 the heroic services of the brave and daring karla:s Napier, no statement can be so interesting, or • h ) *,aracteristic as his own, contained in his address to le burgesses of Portsmouth, at the election, in 1833. "In the course of my canvass," said the gallant .ficer, " I have been asked who lam ? Fa tell you, am Captain Charles Napier, who five-and-twenty ears ago commanded the Recruit brig, in the West .ndies, and who had the honour of being twenty-four ',oars under the guns of three French line-of-battle ships, log from a Iritish squadron, the nearest of which, eitie the exception of the Hawk brig, was from five to it miles astern, the greatest part of the time. I kept flying douhle-shotted broadsides into them. One of these ships, the Hautpolt, only was captured by the Pompey and Castor, the other two escaped by superior eatling. Sir Alexander Cochrane, my Commander-he. elaief, promoted me on the spot into her. At the siege Martinique, the LEolus, Cleopatra, and Recruit., were •ordered to beat up in the night, between Pigeon Island and the Main, and anchor algae to Fort Edward ; the enemy tearing an attack burnt their shipping. At aftylight in the morning, it appeared to ma that Fort Edward was abandoned; this, however, was doubted; .1 etiarril to ascertain the fact, and with five men I aided in open day, scaled the walls, and planted the Lheon Jack 03 the ramparts. Fortunately I was tie -liecovered from Fort Bourbon, tvhich stood about 100 .iarda off, and commanded it. Oa this being reported to Sir Alexander Cochrane, a regiment was landed in o ehe 9 ight, ,Fort. Edward was taken possession of, and the -mart:ay, turned. against the enemy. I am in possession of abetter from Sir A. Cochrane, saying that " my ,:onauct was the menus of saviaz many lives, and ot ehocteniug the siege of Martinique." I had once the misfortune of receiving a precious licking from a French eorve'te : the first shot she fired broke my thigh, and a ale:riper carried awry my mainmast. The enemy escaped, het*, the British flag was not tarnished. On my return to England, in command of the Jason, I was turned out her by a Tory Admiralty, because I had not interest ; tow, as I could not. an idle life, I server! a earn- Taia with tee army in Portugal as a ;millet:oer, when vas again wounded. At the battle of Busaco, I had ate! honour of carrying off the field my gallant friend and relative, Colonel Napier, now near ire, who was e• ot through the face. Busaco was nut the only field , here ha shed his blood ; at Corunna, he was left for 41e:el ; 'out, thank God he escaped with six wounds. Ca) my return to England, I was appointed to the 'Thames, in the Mediterranean ; and, if I could bring `el inhabitants of the Neapolitan coast into this eem, they would tell you, that from Naples To the Faro Point there was not a spot where did not leave my mark, and brought off with tee upwards of 100 sail of gun-boats and merchant yes eek. I had the honour of running the Thames and !'„Hausa into the small mole of Ponza, which was detend,d ; and before they could recover from air surprise I captured the island without the loss of man. I was then removed to the Euryalus, and had 'e good fortune to fall in with two French frigates and eehooner. I chased them in the night close into lalei, in the island of Corsica, pi:seine close under the ern of one, plumpering her as I passed ; and though c were going eight knots, I tried to run aboard of her • . Insert, veho was a little outside, standing athwart my . awse ; the night was dark, the land close, and she sue - .ieded in crossing me, hut I drove her ashore on the eeks, where she was totally wrecked, anal her consort as obliged to anchor close to her. The Euryalus wore aunt, and got off, almost brushing the saore as she ,eassed. These ships were afterwards ascertained to be en flute, mount ine, 22 guns each, and the schooner i:l4. From the Mediterranean I was ordered to Arne- Pai'ea ; and it my Gallant Friend Sir James Gordon was -'*ere he would have told you how I did my duty on that 'long and arduous service up to the Potomac ; he would. :have told you that in a tremendous squall the Eury .alus lost her bowsprit and all her topmasts, and chat in twelve hours she was again ready for work. IVe brought away a fleet from Alexandria, were at , 'tacked going down the river by batteries, built close to -v was the residence of the great Washington, and I was again wounded in that action in the neck. On the peace taking place, I went on half.pay, e. here I re maiiied till I was appointed to the Galatea, which ship commanded for three years on this station ; and I hope and trust that I have faithfully done my duty during thet period to my King and country." In addition, we may mention that, in 1833, Cap lain 'Napier succeeded Admiral Sirtorius in the com mand' of Dan Pedro's fleet, and achieved a signal vic tory over the more numerous and powerful squadron es'i Don Miguel, which the gallant Englishman, with British followers, captured at a single blow, by hoarding. He now commands the Powerful, of 84 guns, with the rank of Commodore on the Syrian coast. This intrepid and enterprising sailor is the eekdest son of the Hon. Charles Napier, R.N., of Mer ehistoun Hall, in the county of Stirling ; was born 6th March, 1786, and married Eliza, widow of Lieutenant Edward Eters,. R.N.

F 7tOlf THE DAILY PAFERS OF YESTERDAY. (From the Globe.) Th ere c annot b e a more cer t a i n s ign of littleness in one's self, than a reluctance to acknowledge the greatness of , m ; because such a recognition can only be an 0a sz; tx, one who is conscious of his owe inferiority. Wit A•. • o at. intending to throw the slightest slur on the u Yew bted grandeur of the French nation, we cannot he' /es r eaticing the fact, that on the arrival in Paris of the 9 - 73 of the fall of Acre, the majority of the press en -41 ;iv oured "eo find its cause in anything rather than in th a b revery and skill of the troops who accomplished a fr "•'• to which Napoleon was forced to apply, in pra-- • at, a word he boasted that he expelled from his voca bulary—the epithet impossible. There is something as puerile as it is unworthy in the silly suggestions of some of the Parisian journals, that the siege of Acre was brought about by English gold rather than by English valour. Were the hundreds of unfortunate beings who lost their lives in the powder-magazine bribed to be blown up? Heaven knows that the frightful sacrifice of the besieged was not desired to add lustre to the 'victory of the besiegers, but the ex tent of the calamity to the former may fairly be alluded to as proof of its being too terrible to be endured for bribery, or to be inflicted by civilised troops, save in the fair but fearful course of war, whose horrors and glories it is but too difficult to separate. It is, perhaps, not remarkable that a certain portion of the French press, whose hatred of England is the more obstinate on ac count of its utter causelessness, should allow the film over its eyes to dim the lustre of every act in which this country takes a part : but it is a subject for sur prise and regret that a journal usually so unprejudiced and enlightened in its tone as the Debats, should have expressed an opinion that the fall of Acre may have beenbrought about by capitulation or treachery. (From the Courier.) There can be no doubt now, whatever might before have lingered, that M. Thiers is prepared, nay, deter mined, to keep no measures with his late master. The great question to be debated for France now and here after is not that of the East, or of the South tread ing closely on its heels, but the reign of Thiers revo lutionary, or of Louis Philippe and order. The inde cency of the political revelations of the ex-Premier, and the malignancy of his personalities, serve to shove that the rupture on his side with all his former associates of the Conservative party, and his unblushing apostscy from former Conservative opinions—convictions they clearly were not—is so frankly rude and rancorous, as to bear all the unequivocal evidence of a foregone conclusion in his mind. It is not to be denied that, as he has the will as well as the power, he is working at this present time very considerable mischief in the public mind of France, the final effects of which it is scarcely porsible to estimate. For he, beyond perhaps any other public man, is fully olive to all the weak and vulnerable characteristics of his countrymen, of which his elo quence, if eloquence it may be assumed, is in fact the very reflection, at once volatile, undignified, rambling, contemptuous of truth, but occasionally bril liant, instinctive of points, impassioned by calcula tion and temperament, and sophistically skilful. Em barked now in a species of political warfare for which by peculiar taste and genius he is more especially formed —the wild warfare of a guerilla partisan—and con scious of the advantage of bringing the battle to his own special field of fight, he is clearly bent on pushing the advantage over an opponent, mild, philosophical, ab horrent of personalities, and truly enlightened and statesmanlike like M. Guizot, whose qualities, inap preciable as they are, and as elsewhere they would be deemed and more welcomed, are scarcely suited to the meridian—to the too general wildness of impulse and unreflecting vivacity—of his country. It is, therefore, we perceive with regret that, forced upon an arena of personal and acrimonious collision the most ungrateful to his habits as the most foreign from his character, that excellent man and Alinister is clearly oppressed under the disadvantages of such a position in the debate now in progress. Let us hope that he may succeed in re claiming the voice of the Chamber to truth, argument, and temperance within the House, which out of it may recal the public mind to a more sober state of feeling and reflection. The speeches of M. Thiers, and the boisterous acclamations of his party, are indeed intended not for conviction and effect with the Deputies, but for inflaming the passions of the masses, in which it may be feared he is only too well succeeding. LAW INTELLIGENCE• COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 30. JOHNSTONE V. JAMES. This was an action against the pilot of the steam tug boat, the Sir 11/ibert Hawkes, for damage done to the barge, Sarah, the property of the plaintiff, by the defen dant's tug-boat being through earelesihess or design driven foul of her. The amount of damage claimed was 71. Mr. Sergeant Talfouril was engaged for the plaintiff, and Sergeant Channel for the defendant. Witnesses were called e on both sides, giving, as usual in such cases, very contradictory evidence, when Mr. Justice Erskine summed up, and the jury returned a vcrdiet for the plaintiff—Damages 61. 10s. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 30. (Sittings at Nisi Prins.) BARKER V. HOWER. Mr. THESIGER (with whom was Mr. Cowling) said the plaintiff in this case was the nephew and late aporen tiff, of Mr. John Atkinson, the inventor of " Atkin so,'s Infant's Preservative." For e sum of money he became the Proprietor of the recipe for making the me &eine. He had carried on the business in Manchester during the last twenty years ; within the last two or three years he found that many persons were imitating the medicine, and amongst others the defendants, who carried on business in Dudley. He brought his action for the purpose of putting an end to the practice, and to preserve his own rights. The Learned Gentleman called witnesses to show that the plaintiff had purchased the secret of making the mAieine from Mr. John Atkinson ; that the traveller of the plaintiff being in Dudley, saw a board which he thought belonged to his employer, but upon examining it, lie found it was the same, with the exception that it said, " Hollier's, late Atkinson's," the two first words being in small characters. He (witness) purchased a bottle ; the price was the same as the plaintiff's, and the wrapper on the bottle was identically the same with the exception of the name of the maker. It was also shown by the deposition of the engraver that the show-hoards fOr the defendant were printed from Mr. Barker's plate, the word " Hollier"being inserted in small letters. Mr. ERLE submitted to his Lordship, that the plain tiff had had mach out no case for the Jury to consider. Tnere was no patent in the case, and every one had a right to make use of any name when it became known to the public, as an inventor, and was not protected by a patent. The case having been argued, His LORDSUIP said he would not withdraw the case from the Jury ; he wbuld reserve leave to the Learned Gentleman to move to enter a nonsuit. Ir. ERLE then addressed the Jury for the defendant. He said a brother-in-law of John Atkinson obtained the recipe from him, and set up in partnership with a per san named Turner, in Dudley, under the firm of At kinson and Turner, where they made the Preservative. The firm then became Turner and Hollier ; and, lastly, Hollier. He, therefore, had a right to say, " Hollier's, late Atkinson's." Without a patent, no person could m4intain an action against another for imitating his minufacture. If the plaintiff should succeed in the present case, persons inventing anything new would be mere safe in trusting to a Court of law, than in going and paying the heavy fees in the Patent Office. There was no intention of deceiving the public on the part of the defendant, for upon all the bottles containing the Preservative sold b y him, his own finale vyls blown, and could be felt by every one. The Learned Gentlemen called several witnesses, who proved his statement, and showed that the medicine had been made and sold in Dudley ever since the time of Mr. Atkinson in 1810, by his successors, who all put on their bills " late Atkinson." One witness sold the medicine as prepared by both parties, and the customers generally distinguished between the two. Mr. THESIGER replied. Mr. Baron GURNEY summed up, and the Jury re tired to consider of their verdict. After an absence of an hour, they returned to Court with a verdict for the plaintiff of a farthing damages. REYNELL V. HUME AND ANOTHER. This was an action upon a bill of exchange for 811.10 s. The plaintiff was a news-agent in Chancery-lane, who was employed by the defendants, who are solicitors, to get various advertisements inserted in the news papers. The bill in question was given as a settlement of the account. The acceptance of the bill by defendant, Hume, was proved ~ so also was it proved that Mr. Gunston, the other defendant, was in partnership with him. A COUNSEL submitted that there was no evidence in the case against Mr. Gunston to go to the Jury. It was not necessary, for the purpose of carrying nn the business of a solicitor, to draw bills at four months' date. He contended that the partner Hume had no power :to bind the other partner for a purpose not shown to be necessary for the partnership business. His LORDSHIP saw no force in the objection, and the Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, 811. 10s. BUTCHER V. GOODWIN. Mr. DASENT said this action was brought to re cover the sum of 46/. ss. 6d., the value of goods and furniture sold and delivered to the defendant. The delivery of the goods having been proved, and no directiono one appearingo f thef o r j t u he dg defendant, e, ; ound ep r l 3 a ' i u n tinde ff to r th the e amount of 231. 9s. 6d., being all the delivery of which there was proof. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Poiore the RF.cotti)Eu.) jui'm La;itei oa, a young man, was i n di c t e d for stealing a box, a quantity of wearing apparel, and a, THE SUN, LONDON. TUESs)AY, DECEMBER 1, 1840. order for the payment of 1001., the property of James Waterman. Mr. BODKIN defended the prisoner. The trial occupied the Court for several hours, but the facts lie in a small compass. It appears that the prosecutor was shopman in the employ of Messrs. Hitchcock and Rogers, of St. Paul's Church-yard, and the prisoner was one of his acquaintances. The prose cutor was discharged from his employ at the beginning of The month of November, and he met the prisoner casually, a day or two afterwards, and informed him of the fact of his leaving his employ, and also that he had not yet taken away his box. The next day a person went to Messrs. Hitchcock's with an order purporting to come from the prosecutor for the delivery of the box, and the box and its contents were given to him. The prisoner was afterwards found dealing with a portion of the stolen property by pledging it, and he was taken into custody ; and while he was in prison the order for 1001., which was of no value ex cept specially endorsed, was returned to the prosecutor in a post letter ; and the box, with some of the articles it had originally contained, was sent to him by a porter. Witnesses were called, who proved positively that the prisoner had pawned some of the stolen property, and several other circumstances appeared which left no doubt of his guilt. Mr. BODKIN addressed the Jury, and called wit nesses, who gave the prisoner a good character. The Jury found the prisoner guilty, but recommended him to mercy on account of his wife and family. The RECORDER said it was an extensive and very artfully-contrived robbery, and he felt compelled, for the sake of example, to pass a severe sentence. He was then ordered to be transported for ten years. At the sitting of the Court on Saturday morning, James Allen, who was capitally convicted at the July Session of an outrage upon a female, and whose judg ment was respited, that the Judges might consider a technical difficulty that arose in the course of the trial, was placed at the bar to hear the judgment of the Court. Mr. Baron PARKE said that the Judges had consi dered the case, and they were of opinion that the indict ment had been properly framed, and that the conviction must therefore stand. The Learned JUDGE then ordered sentence of death to be recorded against the prisoner. The trial of Cameron concluded the business of the Session, and the Court adjourned until the 14th of December. THE LOSS OF THE CITY OF BRISTOL STEAMER. (From the Welshman of Friday.) The following are the particulars of the inquest held on the bodies before Charles Collins, Esq., Coroner, and a highly respectable jury, at the Kings Head public house, kept by William Tucker, in the village of Llan gennith. The Jury having been sworn, proceeded to view the bodies. Oa their return to the house, the fol- lowing evidence was given : William Poole said—l was one of the crew of the City of Bristol when she left Waterford on Tuesday morning last. The deceased John Stacey, whose body the Jury have new viewed, was master of her. The crew consisted of the captain, eight sailors, including first and second mate ; carpenter, four firemen, two coal trimmers, two engineers, second and third stewards, stewardess, cook, and six steerage passengers. The cargo consisted of four hundred pigs, eighteen cattle, about six hundred bags of corn, with various articles. We were bound for Bristol. She was one of the great steamers regularly trading between Bristol and Waterford. The weather was rather moderate when we left Waterford, but it came on to blow about the middle of the day, and we put back to Peancannon. We started again the same evening about a quarter to eleven, the weather having moderated. About six o'clock the following morning (Wednesday,) when we were off the Smalls, it came on to blow hard, the wind from south east. We saw Saint Govin's Head at twelve o'clock atenoon that day. We did not see land any more until we saw Caldy Light at a quarter to five on Wednesday evening. It was still blowing very strong, and was also very dark and rainy. The weather being so bad, the captain said he would anchor during the night under the Worm's Head. The weather did not moderate. About a quarter past six the same evening, we saw, the Worm's Head, and immediately afterwards the vessel struck. The helm was put a-port, and on coming round she struck again. After she struck, the captain en deevoured to get; her off. The engine was at work, but had no power over her, and she turned her broad side towards the sea. Tile sea ran quite over her, and counteracted the power of the engine. The engines continued to act after she had struck, and never ceased working until the captain desired thcin to be stopped. Tire crew were all on deck soon after she struck. The vessel kept together till between eleven and twelve that night. The sea was rising too high to use the boats. We knew we were near the shore from hearing the people talking. The cook, James Cromwell, was the first man washed out of her. The stewardess went soon after. In about an hour and a half otter that, the vessel separated. I was then standing on the foremast. I saw tiv , of the passengers (a man and woman) washed off at this fury:. The Captaln, first mate, Joseph Nicholson, and James Stacey were on the foremast, with me. The mast fell with us into the middle of the wreck. I remained on the mast some time. She parted before the fore mast tell, in the main gangway. I then got on the foreyard. I found the yard was entangled with the wreck, and I went on the paddle-box. Several or my ribs were broken from the violence of the sea driving pieces of wood against me. When I reached the shore 1 was so exhausted that I could not rise. I . was assisted by persons who were there. The vessel be came a total wreck, and I did not know any person was saved besides myself, until 1 afters s ards saw the car penter at the public house in Llangennith. A great number of pigs and some cattle were savech The . vessel belonged to the " Bristol Steam Navigation Company," and had recently been refitted with a new boiler, and a new keel ; she was in all respects in good and perfect repair. Upwards of five thousand pounds had been laid out in repairing and refitting her. She had been running bet Ween Waterford and Bristol before this affair took place, about nine weeks "since her repair. Thomas Harnlear said—Soon after she struck I got on the quarter deck ; and when all hopes of 'her hcing got ofl . had been given up, all the people on boird of her went on the quarter deck, except a female passenger ; she remained on the forecastle, not being able to get to the quaker deck. About high water the vessel sepa rated. Some of the people had gone forward. I.re mained on the quadrant near the wheel. The stewardess and Stephen Turner, one of the firemen, were with me. .I lashed the stewardess to the rail, as she could not hold on. Stephen Turner and myself then got on the main mast. The stewardess loosened herself, and joined the others on the quarter deck. The mainmast then fell with us ; and Turner and myself got again on the quadrant. A sea came and washed most of the people off the quarter (leek. The nex sea took them all off, clearing the quarter deck of everything. 'rho sea also .took Turner off. I still held on, and part of the wreck drifted towardi the shore. I soon after jumped off and swam and reached the shore in safety:—The Jury, after hearing the evidence, returned a verdict of " Drowned, in consequence of the stranding of the vessel." TO THE GREA WO IRKNG N MEN OF T BRTAI. Fellow -Countrymen,—Impressed with a sincere de sire to promote the political freedom and social happi ness of our country. and to witness the extirpation of all systems and vices which impede our progress, and believing that the ignorance and vices of the people are the chief impediments in the way of all political and so cial improvement, and being convinced that no revolu tion can be permanently successful, unless achieved by the mind of a nation—we are led to address ourselves seriously to you, in order to point out what we conceive to he the main-stay of oppression, and the weakness of the oppressed. You are now engaged in a great struggle for political freedom. You have embodied your claims in a docu ment called " The People's Charter ;" and you have wisely resolved to discountenance all other political agitation until you are invested with your share of po litical power. And we are rejoiced that we are able to bear testimony to the integrity and patriotism of many among you, in having stood firm to your principles during one of the most fiery persecutions ever waged against truth and justice. But, at the same time, we have to deplore, that during the whole of these fiery persecutions you have had to contend with an enemy in your own camp—an insidious and powerful enemy—an enemy continuously weakening you, and adding to the strength of your profligate oppressors. The enemy is the love of intoxicating drinks. We have long deplored the fact, that in scarcely any other country are the people so infatuated by the love of intoxicating drinks as in Great Britain ; and while we willingly bear testimony to the good already result ing from the exertions of various Tee-Total Societies, confirmed as this is, by the health and happiness of thousands of reformed drunkards and their once neglected families, yet are we compelled to declare that drunkenness is still the prevailing vice of our people; and that from its source flow many of those alarming crimes which so fearfully deface our national character. And though we admit that class-legislation has inflicted upon us ills innumerable , and blighted the intellect and broken the hearts of whole generations of the sons of toil, we cannot shut our eyes to the truth that no state of freedom can improve the man who is the slave of his own vices. Look at the unhappy drunkard reeling home to his ragged and staciing wife and chil dren. The money expended in the pot-house deprives his family of the commonest necessaries of life. His own health u ndermined—his morals corrupted—his vicious example poisoning the minds and morals of his children, and be grovelling through a wretched exist ence a self-doomed outcast, alien from all the ennobling dignity of manhood. Can such a man be free? He may, in his lucid intervals ,- )f reason, attend public meet ings, and applaud those who are calling a nation to a sense of its duty ; he may boast of his " radicalism ;" he may rail loudly against the abuses.of Government ; 1 but, so long as he dooms the partner of his bosom, and the offapring of his loins, to rags and hunger by his own vicious extravagance, and drinks " success" to freedom in that poison from which our rulers derive a consider- I able portion of their revenue, so long is he unfit tor aught save the reprobation of the wise and good. But, you will say, we admit all this. Cannot we drink moderately ? In answer we tell you that this "moderate drinking" is a pernicious habit. All drunk ards were once "moderate" drinkers. The desire for more drink increases with the habit ; and that which suffices at the c ommencement of the moderate drinkers' career is not sufficient when drinking becomes a con firmed habit. We are convinced that all intoxicating drinks are ruinous to the constitution. Our ex- perience has taught us that those who totally abstain' enjoy a far better state of health than those who call themselves " moderate" drinkers ; and we have inva- riably found their domestic comforts increased. If, then, the moderate use of intoxicating drinks be an evil—and we fearlessly assert it is—why use them at all ? Logic closely into the question. The " mo derate" drinker must buy his drink. Suppose a man is earning one pound per week (and how many are there not averaging six shillings ?) even though he drinks but one pint of beer daily, at threepence per pint, his outlay for himself, upon beer alone, will be one shilling and ninepence per week. Then comes the filthy pipe, which, allowing himself but one ounce of tobacco per week, costs fourpence more. And it is not improbable that the wife, following the husband's example, will also like a " moderate" quantity of beer ; aad, supposing she takes but half a pint daily, here is an additional expense of tenpence halfpenny. Here, then, is a very " moderate " pair, spending two shil lings and elevenpence halfpenny weekly upon that which, so far from doing them good, is absolutely inju rious! Nearly three shillings out of twenty, worse than thrown away. Then there is the time wasted over the pint and pipe—time which ought to be de voted to self culture, or the education of children. We submit that the money and time thus wasted ought to be put to better account. We say that this " mo derate" drinking will occasionally drive its devotees to the pawnbrokers—for every shilling of a poor man's wages is needed in the little republic of home. And we need scarcely mention how the public revenue is aug mented even by the " moderate use" of intoxicating drinks. It has been our misfortune to frequently witness scenes of the most appalling misery produced by the vice of drunkenness. We have seen families of " skilled workmen" in London and other large towns, ragged, hungry, diseased, ignorant, and vicious, at the time these " skilled workmen" were earning from thirty shillings to two pounds per week ; and we have marked these men sulky and brutal in their homes—their know ledge confined to the tap-tub and the gin -cask—and we have invariably found them the most selfish of slaves. Our hearts have bled on witnessing this prostration of humanity! We have known hundreds of families re duced to want and rags by the insane habits of " mode rate" drinkers and smoking. We have known these " moderate men" lounging away whole hours over the pot and pipe at the time their wives and children were craving with hunger at home. We have known these men get into debt for " moderate quantities" of beer during working hours ; and, on Saturday night, we have found one-third, and, in many cases, half their wages go to pay the beer score. We have noted their mortification as they b-Ate parted with so much money ; we have Watched t7tm to their destitute home, end have ob served the wretchedness of the wife when the remaining pittance was thrown into her lap. "Is this all ?" Then comes the falsehood—the equivocation—a momentary sense that he has wronged her—and, after having thus deprived her of the means of providing for the household, he strives to smother her just indignation by excess of kindness and soft words ! He takes his child in his arms—that living monitor of his baseness — and endeavours to make atonement for his crime by kissing its fleshless cheeks and calling it his " darling babe!" Countrymen—these are no imaginary pic tures! Oh ! if we have the slightest love for our fellow creatures, let us strive to remove these heart-rending scenes from our land ! Have we not oppression enough, without adding to it by our own vices ? Are not thou sands of people starving for want of sufficient wages to purchase ' food ?• Have not class-legislation, heavy taxes,' monopolies, and national - debts, sunk us suffi ciently' low,- without sinking ourselves still lower?

We understand that Sir Frederick Smith has completed the survey of the line by Grey rigg, which was suggested as off:ric,g an easy mode of connecting the Lune and Ken dal lines, and thus removing the difficulties which were supposed likely to arise from the omission of Kendal from the direct route ; and that his report is now in the hands of the Home Secretary. The precise nature of the report we are unable to state; but we believe we shall be found correct in saying that Sir Frederick gives the preference to the Lune line, as originally surveyed by Mr. Larmer of this city ; but, et the same time, recommends that the lino by Grayrigg be adopted, for the purpose of including a town of so much importance as Kendal, providing a Com pany he formed there for aiding the undertaking. The Lune line is shorter than the Kendal line by about two and a-half miles; but as this is a matter of small import ance to passengers, Sir Frederick thinks it better to forego the advantage than to throw Kendel out of the line. When the Report is published we shall be careful to present our readera with a copy of it ; but in the mee,ntime, we believe the statement we have made may be fully relied upon. We are also glad to hear that active steps have been taken by the merchants of Glasgow to secure a Railway communication between that city and Carlisle. A large sum has been subscribed for the purpose of procuring a Parliamentary survey of the line by way of Beattocke bridge; and we understand Mr. Locke, the eminent en gineer, will commence the work immediately. This line, as our readers are aware, pursues the valley of the Aunan ; and will reach its summit level near the sources of that river and the Clyde. The line for Glasgow then pursues the valley of the latter river ; while from the summit level an easy line presents itself to Edinburgh. There are considerable difficulties to be encountered near the summit level, and the gradients cannot be such as are most de sirable ; at the same time, the difficulties are far from insurmountable, and there are lines of Railway now in successful operction with still less favourable gradients. The spirit with which the subject has been taken up by the capitalists of Glasgow (men who seldom set their hearts upon an object without accomplishing it) affords a happy augury of success and speedy accomplishment. At the same time, th . e advocates of the Nithsdale line are not idle. Our spirited neighbours in Dumfries, as shown by an article which we copied a few weeks ago from our excellent contemporary, the Dumfries Times, have taken active measures to secure to themselves the advan. tage of having the line from Carlisle to Glasgow to pass through that town, and thence to Thornhill, Sanquhar, Ayr, and Kilmarnock. At that meeting it was agreed to raise the requisite sum for obtaining what is called a Par liarnentary survey"—that is, a survey in detail, such as would be required by Parliament on Application for an Act for the formation of a Railway. Mr. Miller, the en gineer of the Glasgow and Ayr, and Edinburgh and Glasgow lines, is to be employed on this survey. The surveys of these competing lines, when completed, will have to be laid before the Commissioners appointed by Government, in compliance with a resolution of the House of Commons last Session, for their examination ; and the decision they may come to upon the respective merits of the lines, will doubtless decide public opinion upon the subject. In a merely local point of view , and looking to the interests of Carlisle only, it does not appear to us to be of much consequence which line be Adopted. Both point to Carlisle as the place of junction with the lines southward; and the formation of either will con fer upon Carlisle advantages of the greatest importance. It is not likely, that in the end, there will be any ri valry ; that line which the Commissioners select as the best in a national point of view will, in all probability, be the line adopted, and it will be time enough for Carlisle to move in the matter when such selection has been made. In the mean time, however, it is of vital consequence that all interested in the prosperity of Carlisle should be up and doing to forward the completion of the line from Lancaster to this city, that we may be ready to receive our northern neighbours when they are ready to visit us. Car lisle and Kendal mast shake hands upon this subject. Their interests in the matter at issue are now identical ; and if they wish to reap the advantages which must arise to them from direct and speedy communication between the metropolis of Scotland—between Lancashire and Glasgow, the two great emporiums of manufacturing greatness—they should at once bestir themselves in form ing a Company to carry the great design into effect. De lays are proverbially dangerous, and delay in this case may be ruinous. By lukewarmness and dilatoriness, permit a line to be opened through the Eastern side of the island from London to Edinburgh, and the hopes of the inhabitants of the West are, if not completely frustrated, deferred till that indefinite period which sickeneth the heart. At present there are difficulties on the , Eastarn side of the island which will require much time and consideration to overcome—for in stance, no feasible plan has yet been offered far form ing a junction between the Great North of England line —that is the line from York by Darlington to Newcastle and the proposed line along the East coast to Edin burgh ; nor has it yet been shown how the Tweed is to be crossed upon the levels proposed. But these are diffi culties which time and further investigation may over come; and the wealth and energy of the men of the East will speedily be brought into action to get the start of the \Veit. The time will come, we doubt not, when there will be lines of Railway both on the Eastern and Western sides of the island, connecting England with Scotland; but as it must be many years before both are required, that which is first in the field must, for a long period of time, be the only one in requisition. We feel most anxious, therefore, to see some steps taken towards the formation -of a Company= for the continuance of the Railway from Lancaster to Carlisle. A work of such magnitude cannot be accomplished by mere local ex ertion. The aid of the great capitalists of the country will be required ; but this can only be obtained after the residents along the line have shown their anxiety to em bark in the undertaking, and have prepared all the requi site information. he work is one of national importance, and as such, we doubt not, it would be taken up if fairly brought before the public by men earnest in the matter. ;iPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MURDER AT BALLIBAY. The following is an extract of a letter from Ballibay, dated Nov. 27 : " About half-past five o'clock on yesterday evening a murder of the most sanguinary and daring character was committed upo❑ a respectable young man, named Owen Murphy. While the unfortunate Murphy, ac companied by three of his neighbours, was proceed ing homewards alone the Clone road, and after passing the shambles of this town, a distance of between 15 or 20 perches, they were met on the highway by the perpetrator of the deed, who deliberately took aim, and fired at Murphy, who instantly dropped dead, the ball hiving passed through his lungs. In consternation and terror the other three men made a move out of the direction of the murderer's fire, but in less than a minute three other shots were fired, very fortunately, however, without effect: It Must be'concluded that blood, at all hazards, was the object, as the road at the time was _y4etti much .occupied by 'men retiring from their field - lab Our, - • 7 In the absence of the resident and stipendiary Ma gistrates of the town, Samuel Cunningham, Esq., of Crieve, J. P., with the promptitude and efficiency so characteristic of him as a magistrate, gallopped into town, and, on examining a few witnesses (the compa nions of the deceased), he took Samuel Gray, of Balli bay, into custody, and pLeed him in Briewell, where he noiv is. At the moment I am writing, an inquest is in pro gress on Murphy's body ; and Gray, the accused, is es corted to the inquest room. The result, I may be able to give you-in the present letter, before the mail is des patched. It must be in the recollection of the readers of the Northern provincial papers that, in the two will cases of" Stewart against Gray," which occupied the Arm ugh Record Court during the entire of the last Assizes, befor , Baron Foster, that the deceased Murphy was the writer of, and principal witness to, the will established on that occasion, upon which Stewart succeeded in his right tothe property ; and although the plaintiff obtained a verdict at the time, yet, it was not until a few days ago that an order was made to the Sheriff of the county to turn Gray out and place Stewart in possession ; and it was not more than one hour after the Sheriff dis charged that duty, when' the hapless Murphy was cut off. The verdict this moment returned by the Jury is— The - deceased came by his death in consequence of a gun-shot wound, and which was inflicted by Samuel G ray."

EVEN tNG EDITION! _ CH CH-RATS. F A UR REFUSAL 0 NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT. SATURDAY, Nov. 28, 1840.—0 n Thursday last, a Yes-- try was held at St. Thomas's Cnurch, for the purpose of making a Church-rate. On the motion of Mr. Blasbford, Mr. Pring, one of the Churchwardens, took the chair, and moved an adjournment into the body of the church to meet the convenience of the numerous body of inhabitants pre sent. The other Warden, Mr. Ro bert Sewell, then said that in consequenCe of there having been no rate for four y ea rs there were no funds in hand to rep air the church ; indeed, a sum of 361 . due in 1836 was still unpaid, and since that period the sexton, clerk, clock-winder, and others, had received no salaries. The roof had received peat damage during the late storms, and unless something was done to it, it would not be fit for religious worshiP, and must be shut up. He mentioned man y other whet a nd be considered necessary works which req uired to be done, also that about fifty years ago the then Churchvrardeas had appropriated to the use of the church the sums f 40/. left to poor widows, guaranteeing to pay 21. a yeato th! poor; but since the rates had been refused the widows bad been deprived of the intended charity. He concluded 131 moving a rate of sd. in the pound, which being secondeslo Mr. Rice moved as an amendment, " That the considera tion of a rate be postponed for six months; 'ski d ' bel seconded by the Rev. Mr. Herland, was about to be p uts when Mr. Henry Sewell suggested that certain item. should be left out, and a prospective rate only beaked s °I 4d. to carry them through the year, which his broth!! W a rden having agreed to, Mr. Rice -mosed his amend me et to that as equally objectionable with the fiv fi eP e f:d rate; it as the principle he looked to. Mr. l' - again seconjed it, e d his Mr. Wilkins th en addressed the Vestry, and Oat . 10 , belief that if a fourpeisny rate were granted now, a '' A d. shilling one would be .irm. It was no use to cry "peace." but if they wished for g l ib., nediately afterwards deinaltece the only way to obtain it to by outpolling Sk e „.,h to Church party, which he seereoLi to think rich eltepis buy new surplices for their parson 'Oithout taxing tu- • senters for it. n on th e Mr. Pring said he had been appointet..l Wardellith-' the condition that he should never make a ra te 1 .-- b u d d e ' consent of the parish, and the Lord Chief e'Ll et t e , co a ese o S c e i f d t e h d e th pa at ri t a h h e . y c H ou e ld ha n d ot mthaekreefeareraateppwliiethdottll; t.ih",."s.9brooftbles: Warden, Mr. Sewell, to make a rate on theMszu% -ea for in the ound, and not call on their dissenting bretPrt.
