E V ENING EDITION. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OP YESTERDAY. • (From the Globe.) The " wine-warmed" declaimers at Conservative ban quets, and the ignorant zealots at Protestant Assc elation anniversaries, are especially eloquent on the miraculous interference of Heaven in behalf of the Protestant Establishment of Ireland, surrounded and opposed, as it has been, by the active and zealous agents of the Reman Catholic Church. The bush, enveloped with flame yet unconsumed—and the three Hebrew confessors walking unhurt in the ^ midst of the are, kindled by the infuriated monarch for their destruction, have supplied glowing illustrations of the dangers and deliverances of our much-persecuted and divinely-preserved Church. We admit the interposition, but dispute the nature of the danger which threatened it with extirpation. The wonder is, that the Protestant Church in Ireland has sur vived, notwithstanding the pluralities and other monstrous abuses which have prevailed within its pale,..—the non-residence and worse than apathy of the c:ergy, and the supineness and nepotism of the hierarchy. The stratagems to which formerly the defenders of the abuses in the Irish Establishment so frequently re _sorted, and by which they sought to repel those who , de.nouneed the evils which were obvious to all, will no longer serve. To charge with irreligion and impiety all those who presume to bring to light the causes of efficiency in a church proverbial for its immense wealth, and equally proverbial, till lately, for its indolence, will neither prevent nor repel attacks. (From the C'ourier.) The misdeeds of e l ect i on contests we wou ld repro b ate strongly as the most truly conscientious man breathing, whether of one party or the other. Bu t we firmly be t aad the Reform annals are there to bear us out, with records of Election Committees in proof besides, ttever since Parliaments b ecame p ar t azell parcel of the itution was bribery so revolting, immoralities so , and perjuries so atrocious, so unblushingly practised openly patronised as under the auspices of the Reform "'Ministry and by the prcfligate hands of Reform agents. eat that is the least disgusting feature of Reform e el tineas, for the venality of the Reform party in the reformed House is infinitely more atrocious still. It is all vastly fine and sentimental to dilate in affected strains of shocked meeeality about the corruption of poor ignorant voters, guilty of accepting of a few pounds as the price of a vote, which Reform agents, more crim . nat, are there open handed to tempt poverty with. But where is the virtuous indignation of tlsFse lofty moralists fur the- wholesale pro fligacy perpetrated in Parliament itself? Sales and pur chases of votes, aye, and of seats, are there matters of everyday business. ( F, orn the Standard,) We dread the accompkinnent of such a design as Lord Stanley's," says the Morning Chronicle to-day. "about as much as we do the cracking of the world's axis." This we presume to be a i-trong expression of the ab sence -4 fear, for as the world haF. no material Reis to crack, the event spoken cf . by our Contemporary ih the way of comparisow. can scarcely be amid.. pated by th e most t i mi d . Without, however, presuming to criticise a style of illustration which we must vainly at tempt to emulate, and which, indeed, we do net always distinctly comprehend, we meet:our Contemporary's pro_ position, or what we suppose to be its proposition, by a di rect contradiction. As far as we can judge of the fu ture, wo avow our conviction that Lord Stanley's " de sign will be accomplished"—namely, that his Lordship's Bill will become the law. Why should it not pass even in the present Sessioa ? UNIVEWSITY IN TELLIGEN CE.

On Tuesday last, the Rev. W. H. Charlton, B. A., of Trinity Col:ege, i❑ this University, was instituted by the Lord Bishop of Lincoln, to the rectory of St. George with St. Paul, Stamford, on the presentation of the Marquis of EXTRACT FROM THE THIRD DESPATCH OF COLONEL WAKEFIELD. (From the Colonial Gazette.) Having given some details of his movements, in conti nuation of his second despatch, Col. Wakefield gives the following accounts of interviews with an aged warrior of great influence in the island, and with the Baron De Thierry, who claims large property in the island. From these extracts it will be seen that the most horrible con tests are still carried on by the different tribes in that country. The history of Raupero is the most eventful and worthy of record of any existing New Zealand chief. His expulsion, and that of all his numerous and power ful tribe, from their native district, Kafia, by the Wai hato and Bay of Islands hosts, is well know to you, prom the mention it has received in numerous works on this country. Their forcible seizure and occupation, in their turn, of all the coast land on both sides of this strait has also been described ; but the means he has employed for the aggradizement of his people, and the causes of his prerninence and influence amongst all classes and clans, extending also to the foreign residents and visitors in the southern parts of these islands, have not been dwelt on. Raupero is at least sixty years old. When a young man, he acquired a reputation for strength and courage, founded on his skill in native warfare, which his wily ness and success in all his undertakings have preserved for him in his old age. He came from Kafia as the fighting general of Ti Pahi ; and after the death of the latter at Otago, by Tairoa and the Southern tribes, became chief of the tribe. To revenge Ti Pahi's death, which was accomplished by tying him up by the heels to a tree and cutting his throat, at which his enemies sucked his blood, Raupero engaged with a master of an English vessel, by name Stewart, to carry him and some of his people to Otago, under pretence of a trad ing voyage, where the master coaxed on board a leading chief of the tribe and his family. Some of these were immediately killed ; after which Raupero and Stewart, with their myrmidons, landed and laid waste the settlements, killing every man, woman, and child that came in their way. The chief, who had been enticed on board, was made fast in the cabin by a hook through his throat ; and in despair at seeing hi s daughter about to become the victim of these monsters, killed her with his own hands. During the voy a ge back to Kapiti, the old man was de-_ :patched ; and it is a fact, that one of the ship's cop, pers was in use for cooking human flesh for his guest and that Stewart and his crew participated, if not in the feast, in the atrocious murder and revolting prepa rations for it. By similar treachery has Raupero acquired his power in other parts, and become the terror of all the neigh bouring tribes. Unable to cope with the Ngatiawas, whom he was forced to allow to live on the lands in Queen Charlotte Sound, Port Nicholson, and on the main abreast of Kapiti, when they were driven from Taranake, he is occasionally is alliance with them, and more than once has led them into an encounter with their mutual Southern enemies, for the purpose of -de setting them with his people in the midst of the fight ; by losses in which manner they have been much thinned. In all negotiations, Raupero is considered skilful, and is referred to upon many occasions. In his dealings with Europeans and Americans, he makes use of alternate begging and extorting measures, ac cording to the power of resistance to his demands he may meet with ; and might, if he had been prudent, be now extremely rich by his traffickin g for supplie s f or s hi ps , and the present s h e h as received. He receives tribute from numerous petty tribes and slaves ; and the stronger tribes are occasionally constrained to purchase peace at his hands. On the whole, he is disposed to encourage and pro tect European settlers ; and having been several times to Port Jackson, knows how to appreciate the commo dities of civilized life. No longer since than l as t wee k, to afford a tre a t t o the chiefs of Ngatiroco, or Boiling-water tribe, who as sembled at Marra upon the occasion of the mourning for his sister, he sacrificed a slave of the Rhangatanis, who had come from Admiralty Bay with presents of dried fish ; but my informant, an Englishman, who saw the unfortunate man dragged to his fate, says that more dis guise as to the disposal of the body was made use of than heretofore, in consequence of Raupero having of late professed himself a Missionary, and that he intended to discourage cannibalism. In resolving to visit and conciliate this old savage, however strong my repugnance to his character and practices, I am more led by the hope of acquiring his land, on which to locate a society which shall put an end to his reign, than by any good wishes to him, and of obtaining influence with his presumptive successor, Hiko, who bears a much better character. Kapiti, Wednesday, 16th October.--We came to anchor to-day off Kapiti, near Evans's Island, which is a low termination to a reef running out from the former, and the residence and whaling-station of a large esta blishment carried on by Mr. Evans for Mr. Peterson, of Sydney. We arrived just at the close of a smart en gagemect which had taken-place on the main at about two miles distant, and in sight of our anchorage, be tween the Ngatirocowas and Ngatiawas. The former mustered in great force from all parts of the coast I mentioned yesterday, and stealing into the pah, or forti fied village, of the latter in the night, killed some of them as they left their huts at daylight. In the course of the morning, the fighting was carried on on the beach ; and ended in the Ngatirocowas being defeated, with a loss of forty-tive left dead on the shore, whilst their enemy had but fourteen killed. The quarrel, which is of long standing, was brought to a crisis by the former having killed some sheep at Mana during the late crying feast, which th e l a tt er h a d trie d to protect, and by th irritation produced by contact in the passage of the Ngatiroco was in front of the settle ments of the Ngatia was in their journey to and from Mena. Raupero, with his usual caution, had kept him self out of harm's way, but had gone over late in the contest, with a view, as he told us afterwards, of making peace, but as people here say, with that of encouraging his allies. Finding him absent, and de sirous to see at least one party of the belligerents, I mustered an amateur boat's crew, our surgeons taking their instruments with them in case of being able to render assistance to the wounded ; and was on the point of starting for Waikanai,• the scene of bloodshed, when a boat arrived from Evans's Island with a message from Raupero, expressing his wish to see me there. It appeared that he had larded on the main, but finding his party defeated, and unwilling to trust himself with their opponents, had returned to Ka piti. At the same time, he had seen our ship anchor near his settlement, and had betaken himself with all his valuablesto the English whaling settlement for protection from some imaginary danger he anticipated from us. This must have arisen in his mind from knowing that he had been making very violent speeches as tohis intentions respecting us for purchasing Port Nicholson, without his sanction, and threats of snatching from the residents of that place the goods I had left in payment for it. He also had expressed his anxiety to the English whalers, respecting the persons on board ; no doubt bearing in mini! his own treacherous visit to Otago, for which rea son he would not come on board. On our leaping from the boat, he arose from his seat on the beach, and in evident fear, and with the greatest servility, sought our hands to give us the Missionary greeting, It was some time before he was reassured as to our intentions to wards him, and during the whole interview betrayed a feeling of insecurity but little consistent with his cus tomary vapouring and insolence. He made a pious speech about the morning's affair, and declared that be would not interfere; being deter mined to discountenance further fighting. He accepted my invitation to come on board to-morrow, and hurried away to the settlement of Rangaihiro, an influential but peaceable chief of his tribe. In person Raupero is not conspicuous amongst his countrymen, his height being rather under the average. His years sit lightly on him ; he is bale and stout, and his hair but slightly touched with grey. His counte nance expressas keenness and vivacity, whilst a receding forehead and deep eyelids, in raising which his eyebrows are elevated into the furrows of his brow, give a re semblance to the ape in the upper part of the face, which I have remarked in many of the natives. He was cleanly dressed in the ordinary mat and other blanket, worn as the toga ; slow and dignified in his action ; and had not his wandering and watcbfui looks betrayed his doubts as to his safety, perfectly easy in his address. The whaling establishment here is most complete, ande h very sup er i or t o t h ose o f t h e poor s h ore - part i es we have seen. Their boats put off after a whale, which came in sight during our visit, and showed a dis cipline an d ensemble in their movements , similar to those of a well-regulated man of war. The party has ob tained 250 tuns of oil during the season, and the second in command told me he had realised 300/. to his share. Friday, Dec. 3.--Whilst visiting parts of the river to-day, the Baren de Thierry came on board. His claims hereabout are very extensive, a n d f rom a ll I can commissioned years oned collect, not without foundation Mr. Kendall, of the Church . i M m is l is.ioe co n, s ago, to purchase l an d for h bi a s 700/. for th e purpose h o e f re, and gav e p it. Mr. Kendall acquired an immense r in i g et b fn e- r tween this place and the Bay of Islands, but istr onl only paid the natives thirty - six axes for it. Th e d ee d s, t however, h were regularly executed by the chiefs, w h o were a time satisfied with the consideration receiv e d. As land,tat h owever , became of value, they have b ee * induced to re-sell portions to other Europeans, and now say that the axes were only a present made to them by Mr. Kendall. The Baron is consequently in dispute with all the proprietors on this district, and talks of wa i t i ng the ar r i va l o f a F renc h man-of-war to eject the t rQs . passers. A French Bishop has purchased land, and formed an establishment half-way up the river. He has a few Proselytes, who prefer his form of worship to that of the Wesleyans, because they receive some small pre sent for attendance at the Catholic chapel, and because the service is much shorter. A Belgian naturalist has also an extensive property near the heads of the river. SPANISH BONDS. TO THE EDITOR OF TEL SUN. Committee of Spanish Bondholders, Old Swan, May 25, 1840.

The Secretary of War will please recollect that an assurance to this effect was, in Sir John Harvey's note to me of the 12th of March, deemed by the latter important to a temporary ar rangement of the present difficulty. —W. S. THE CHURCH AND THOROGOOD We are glad to see that the eloquent lecture on the case of Thorogood, delivered at Louth, by Mr. R. Paddison, has been published. It is to be had at Dennis's, Paternoster-row, at an exceedingly mo derate price, and the profits of the sale have been kindly devoted by the Author to the Thorogood Fund. This latter circumstance, no doubt, greatly increases the interest of the publication, and will naturally induce many persons to become pur chasers ; but let it not he supposed that the lec ture has not merits of its own sufficient to claim the public attention. This would be a most erroneous supposition. Mr. Paddison has gone deeply into the question at issue between the Church and the people, and given an able exposition of the princi ples, conduct, and character of that politico-religious Establishment which boasts of being built on the foundation of Prophets and Apostles. A more com plete unmasking of priestcraft, we do not recollect to have ever met with in the same compass. The value of the publication is also much enhanced by a copious addition of illustrative, and, in many in stances, very curious notes. We may add, that such was the effect of this lecture on the working people of Louth, to whom it was delivered in the Guildhall of that town, that they made on the spot a contribution of upwards of 71. in pence. We wish other lecturers would follow Mr. Paddison's example. The labouring classes should be made to understand thoroughly how the State-engine, laughably called the ,‘ poor man's Church," really works, and this is just the time for enlightening their minds on the subject. The Corn-laws and Church-rates—starvation and imprisonment—dis pose people to serious thought, if anything can.

It was afterwards reported in the Hokianga dis trict that the Tory had met with an accident while en tering the Kiapara harbour, and had sailed for Sydney for repairs. It was said that Colonel Wakefield had gone from Kiapara to the Bay of Islands by land, had there chartered another vessel for the Company, and had sailed in her for Port Hardy in D'Urville's Island, Cook's Strait, the port of rendezvous for the emigrant ships. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Mr. Charles Chilton, of the firm of Chilton, Nelson, and Co,, Gravel-lane, Southwark, applied to Alderman Gibbs, who sat for the Lord Mayor, under the follow ing circumstances : Mr. Chiltoc, in passing through Smithfield m on Friday last, observed a man running a very good looking bay mare up and down the horse market for sale. As it struck him that the mare would answer his purpose, he asked the price, and was told by the owner, who appeared to be a countryman, that he would take fifteen sovereigns, and not a farthing less ; and that she was warranted sound in wind and limb, and in every respect. Mr. Chilton wished for a reference, and the name of a person at a distance, of whom he knew no thing, having been given, he.expressed dissatisfaction, and asked whether there was any person in the neighbour hood who could answer for the integrity of the seller ? " Oh. yes," said the countryman, " come in here ;" and led the way to a public-house in Smithfield market. Upon entering the house, Mr. Chilton asked the landlord and another person in the bar, whether they knew the countryman, :alio stated his name to be Brown ; to which they replied in the affirmative, and that he was a proper person to be dealt with. Thebargain was then concluded, and Mr. Chilton paid a 101. and a 5/. note to Mr. Brown, swallowed a gins of something, and departed with his bar gain. He had scarcely got as far as Snow-hill, when some persons who had followed him from the market, and who, as he soon had reason to believe, constituted part of a gang of diseased horse chaunters, ran up to him and said, " Why you have got a glandered horse, it won't do for you," and offered to purchase the mare. Mr. Chilton refused to have anything to do with the fellows, and took home the mare, but glandered she was, and no mistake. On the Wednesday following he was obliged to get rid of her to a person who looked like a butcher, who seemed to know all about the disorder, and gave him 71. for her after he had been put to consider able expense in the attempt to cure her. He afterwards went into the market, where he heard that it was quite a common thing to sell glandered horses, repurchase them for a small sum, and sell them again to new flats. What should he ace, on looking round, run ning up and down for sale, in the same place, but the identical glandered mare by which he had been duped, and his astonishment was increased upon hearing the sum of 181. and no less asked for her. Alderman GIBBS supposed that Mr. Chalton imme diately interfered to prevent the sale. Mr. Chilton said he intended to so, and went a little way to obtain assistance ; but, upon his return, mare and all had disappeared. There was no trace to be discovered, and he apprehended that a gentleman who seemed to like her was choused out of the money, and might have put her into his stables with sound animals, to the imminent danger of their healths. His first impulse was to interfere, but there was such a crowd of blackguards on the spot, that he hesitated until he could obtain aid. Alderman GIBBS said that he was aware of the prac tice, which was most atrocious, and be should do all in his power to cause the apprehension and punishment of fellows who did so much mischief. Mr. Chilton said that his object in applying to the Alderman was not with the view of obtaining redress himself, but to prevent the continuance of such iniquitdus practises. Alderman GIBBS—You say the publican stated that he knew the man you paid, and that he was a person with whom you might safely deal ? Mr. Chilton—Certainly. There were two persons in the bar, and they both recommended him. Alderman Glees—Let an officer go at once and bring the publican before me. Some time afterwards the publican appeared, and said, in the course of an examination by the Alderman, that a great many horse-dealers frequented his house, and that he knew a Mr. Brown, but did not recollect anything at ail of the transaction alluded to. Mr. Chilton—Why you saw me pay the 51. and the 101. note on your bar counter to Mr. Brown. It was wished that I should go into the parlour, but I re fused. The person who was with you in the bar most particularly remarked the transaction. Alde:man GIBBS—Let that person as well as the publican attend here on Wednesday. The case shall be thoroughly investigated. It is evident that a most villainous conspiracy has been carried on in Smithfield, and the Magistrates will take care that the owners . of licensed publi c h ouses s h a ll no t h ar b our p ersons gu ilty of such monstrous fraud. Tne following is a copy of a memorial upon the sub ject, presented at the last Court of Common Council, but for which we had no room in consequence of the late heavy debates. " To the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, Alder men, and Council of the City of London, and Common Council assembled, the memorial of the undersigned inhabitants of West Smithfield and its neighbourhood, showeth that a public horse market has long been held in Smithfield on Friday afternoons, and your memorial ists are indebted, and take this opportunity of thanking your Honourable Court, for the many recent improve ments made therein. " That a nuisance of great notoriety still remains un abated, in the introduction and sale of glandered horscs in the said market by unprincipled men, who conduct their traffic in horses in such a manner as to deceive unwary purchasers, and evade the law. " That glanders is a highly contageous disease, and in several instances has affected and proved fatal to the human subject. " That your memorialists feel aggrieved and alarmed to see it Nrpetuated without restraint, in this shameless manner. " That the character of the market in public estimation, and also its fair and lawful trade, has been severely im paired thereby. " That the Market police officers, although very offi cient in almost all cases, and with power to attach the sailer of a glundered horse for a misdemeanour, yet feel themselves incompetent to judge of the existence of this insidious disease, which demands all the tact and knowledge of a skilful veterinary surgeon ; and it has, therefore, long appeared to your Memorialists that a procier and experienced veterinary surgeon should be appointed, with power to decide on horses suspected either by the police or by purchasers of being so disor dered, and that the offenders should be taken into cus tody, and such horses detained and afterwards disposed of as in your judgment may be determined. " That such e nuisance would virtually put a stop to the present iniquitous trade of buying glandered horses in all parts of the country, and bringing them to Smithfield market, where they are fraudulently sold, brought back again for a triflin , " sum by a confederate, and resold again, perhaps for many successive weeks, communicating the dreadful disorder meanwhile to numbers of sound horses in different stables. That on these strong grounds your memorialist s rest, confiding in your anxiety to reform en admitted nuisance of this mageitude." Alderman GIBES observed that he had no doubt the Markets' Committee, to which the memorial was re ferreil, would take the matter most seriously into their consideration. I n the meantime he would do all in his power to protect the public as a magistrate, and he ex pressed his gratification at the readiness with which Mr. Chilton came forward to strengthen, by a case so strongly in point, the application of so many of the most respectable persons of the vicinity of Smithfield. Q UEEN- S Q UA RE. Yesterday morning several young men and boys were charged with wilfully breaking branches from off the trees in Hyde-park, and from off the shrubs growing in the inclosure of St. James's-park. The charges were made by constables of the A division, and being clearly made out, Mr. Burrell, the Magistrate, fined the de fendants 53. each, or, in default, committed them for seven days. THE bRAWING-ROOMe—AS many as twenty youn g thieves were brought to this Court during the after noon, charged with picking, and attempting to pick, pockets in St. James's-park while the Queen was pro ceeding to hold her Drawing-room, and on her return to Buckingham Palace. The cases were devoid of public interest. Some of the delinquents were commit ted for trial, others summarily convicted, and some re manded. No less a sum than 80,0001. was paid for excise duty on tobacco in bond at Newcastle a few days previous to the Chancellor bringing in his budget. Of course the manu facturers have saved a considerable sum by avoiding the ad vanced duty.— Tyne Pilot. GREAT EAGLE.—Just as We arrived at this spot, a caution was given by Segueson ; he seized the gun ; our oars had scarcely ceased a moment, when a wild scream, and the discharge of both barrels startled me. In a moment we were on shore, and I was in the midst of a danger I had little apprehended. A wounded eagle, of the largest size, lay screaming on the ground; there was life enough left to render him dangerous, as he crawled, or rather jumped, towards us, filo . ping his enormous wings, and with revenge and mischief in the furious expression of his eye. The savage nature of this animal was never so powerfully exemplified. One snap with the beak man in Ireland. had been enough to sever an arm from one's body ~. by stones, the butt -end of the gun, and oars, he was at length despatched. and lSyOp Tr 11.8 ER HUNTING.--The Brecon Otter Hounds t l e av d e opened the campaign most auspiciously under the superin thetendence of that indefatigable sportsman, Martin.

(From the National Intelligences.) There has been lately communicated to the House of representatives of the United States, and pub lished by its order, a document entitled, " Copies of the arrangement. entered into between the Governor of Maine and Sir John Harvey, Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick, through the mediation of Major- General Scott, in the month of March, 1839, together with copies of the instructions given to General Scott, and of all correspondence with him relating to the sub i,ct of controversy between the State of Maine and the Province of New Brunswick. Some of the papers of which this document is com posed are now of little interest, having been heretofore published, or rel tting only to matters long since known to the public. There are others, however, of more con sequence, which our readers will be glad to see. Among these are, first :-- "THE INSTRUCTIONS TO GENERAL SCOTT. " War Department, Feb. 28, 1839. " SIR—You will proceed to the north eastern frontier and assume the command there. " On your route you will place yourself in commu nication with the Governor of the State of Maine, and inform him of the opinions and views of this Govern ment, with which you are well acquainted. It is deemed to :)e highly important that the informal agreement entered into between the Secretary of State and the British Minister should be acquiesced in by his Excellency the Governor of Maine ; and you will urge upon him the propriety of not only yielding to the wishes of the Pre-, sident in this particular, but of affording to the general government his cordial support and co-operation to carry into effect such measures as the peace and honour of the country alike require. " The accompanying documents* will fully explain the views and instructions of the President. I❑ the present state of the controversy between the State cf Maine and her Britannic Majesty's province of New Brunswick, you will abstain from all armed interfe rence, and from entering the disputed territory for any other purpose than to restore peace. Should the con tingency contemplated by the President unfortunately arise, and the attempt be made and persevered in by the British authorities to occupy the disputed territory, militarily, after the troops of Maine shall have retired from it, you will be fully instructed how to proceed. Orders have been extended by the commanding general to move such regular troops as can be immediately col lected, and as rapidly as practicable, towards the north eastern frontier ; these, together with the militia of the states of Massachusetts and Maine, which you will be authorized to call for, it is confidently expected will be sufficient to enforce the determination of the Govern ment. " Very respectfully, your most obedient servant, " J. R. POINSETT. " Major-General Whinfield Scott, Commanding, &c., Boston, Mass." Secondly, we are sure our readers will be obliged to us for laying before them the following letters, which led to the final acquiescence by the Governor of the State of Maine, and the British Lieutenant- Governor of New Brunswick, in the provisional agree ment entered into at Washington between the Secre tary of State and the British Minister : CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN MAJOR GENERAL SCOTT AND GENERAL SIR JOHN HARVEY. Extract of a letter from Major-General Scott to the Secretary of War. (March 11.) " I enclose a copy of a semi-official letter which I yesterday despatched to the Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick. It will probably reach him to-mcr row night, by means of the tine of Maine estafettes from Bangor to Houlton, and thence by express to Fredericton. " It soon became evident to me, from conversations with his Excellency Governor Fairfield, and many lead in.. Members of the Legislature here, that Maine is not likely to consent to withdraw her civil posse, nor to agree Upon any system of measures, conjointly with New Brunswick, f i r the future removal of trespassers or the protection the public property—at least in re spect to the parts of the disputed territory on this side of the river St. John, over which the state has long exercised civil jurisdiction. It is alleged here, that to follow out the " memorandum" upon those points would place Maine on a worse footing, in respect to the Aroostook district, than that on which she stood prior to the late movements. .Hence the terms of the over ture sketched in my letter, and which were fixed upon with great care, in concert with his Excellency and the Hon. Mr. R. Wiliiams. " A reply from Sir John Ha! vey may be expected in five, or perhaps seven days ; and I have determined to remain here, to use my personal endeavours with the State Government to harmonise all the minor details between it and the province of New Bruaswick." Letter from General Scott to Sir John Harvey. " Headquarters, Eastern Division, " Augusta, Maine, March 9, 1839. " My dear Sir John—After waiting (I am ashamed o reflect how long) to find myself within a convenient listance and at leisure to express to you all the delight experienced at the reception of your very kind letter of April last, I have now to acknowledge a second (dated in January) of the same character, under the depression caused by more recent intelligence of your severe afflic tion—the loss of a gallant and estimable son. I offer 3ou my sincere condolence on the great bereavement, and cherish the hcpe that, in the midst of high official engagements, and, still more, ie the resources of a well disciplined mind, you may be enabled to bear the stroke of Providence with the heroism of a soldier and a Christian. I h ave , my dear Sir, at this moment, another cause of depression. For two winters I have earnestly, in snows and frosts, and with but little rest of any kind, laboured to maintain peace between our coun tries, by restraining many lawless Americans and Cana dian refugees from violating the faith of the United States pledged to G la r t e e a ly t Bdrroitpapined; down o ha t v o ing th sa e tis s fi e e a d . myself that the borders, west o f t hi s, were restored b to oar t d ra , n w q 'h u e i n I tranquillity, I heard of new and more alarming rumours of war on the north east of M a i ne . I hastened to Washington, received instructions, in the spirit of peace, and here I am. It was there that your second letter reached me, via Quebec, &c. The Secretary of War was so much pleased with ycur liberal and pacific senti ments towaids this country, that he borrowed the letter for the perusal of the President. How happy may we esteem ourselves, if a personal friendship commenced in the field, and in opposite ranks, can be made in any de gree conducive to the preservation of peace—a perpe tual peace between our countries! For, if an immediate conflict of arms, about the disputed territory, can be avoided, to allow time to the two governments to adjust at London or Washington .he great question in contro versy (which I am persuaded may readily be done), I see no reason to apprehend another cause of serious misunderstandin, , ,, , between the two portions of the great Anglo-Saxon race for centuries to come. The ties of common blood, language, civil liberty, laws, customs, manners, interests, must, in a reasonable period, that is, as soon as we can forget past wars, and they are almost forgotten, work out a strong compact of reciprocal feel ing (far more binding than written engagements), which the other nations of the world would be wholly unable to dissolve or to resist. Such compact, although the two portions of the race arc, and probably will ever remain, under separate govern men t s , an d of diErent forms, is necessary to both—in war as in peace ; for who shall say what hostile combinations, in the next one hundred, seventy, or even thirty years, may not take place among the other nations, to require the united strength of England and America for the safety of their common principles and interests ? These considerations incline me strongly to the side of peace, and I am confident I do but express the wish of all en lightened Americans, and reciprocate that o f our brethre n o f the half-blo o d on th e other side of the At lantic.'t " But how avoid a conflict of arms on the disputed term itory between the proximate troops of Maine and Great B r i ta i n, un d er the purpose di stinc tly avowed in your letter of the 18th ultimo, addressed to the Governor of th e f ormer ? With that declaration h e ld up in ter rcrem, it i s f e l t h ere that M a i ne cann ot withdraw the troops with honour. " Entertaining a lively hope that you may have been 21 and induc e d b y t h e memorandum s i gne d at W as h ing ton, the bt3;letluienidteipd States, lomatie to pre e a n t d ir hse of purposeGa Great of soaking "t o expe l, b y military force, the armed party which h as b een sent by Maine into the district bordering on the Aro os t oo k r i ver, an d o f ta ki ng m il i t ar y occupa ressuesnpltere Britain7t h uti occupa tion of that district, may I request from you a declara tion to that effect ? Should your answer be favourable (as I trust it may be), I do not doubt that the troops of Maine, already in the disputed territory, would be immedi a t e l y reca ll e d , and the detachments in march thither from the interior of the State at once ordered to halt. " In regard to all minor questions of temporary civil jurisdiction, including the protection of timber, cut or uncut, it is believed there would then be but little, if any, dif f iculty. These may, perhaps, be advantageously left on their former footing. " It is due to candour to say that, by the term troops, Maine would not understand as included the civil posse under the sheriff and a land agent, which she now has in the disputed territory. Such posse, how ever, would be limited to a small number of persons, and restricted to certain specific duties. " It is probable that I may in a few days proceed to Houlton or Hancock barracks ; but, whether I remain here, or may happen to go to another point in the inte rior, Major Kirby, of our army, commanding at the barracks, will forward to me any communication to my address. " To show clearly the pacific disposition of the United States, I will add, that I have not assumed, and do not expect to assume, any command over the forces which Maine has in the field ; and, if we can avoid collision on the north-eastern frontier, it is not likely that the United States will proceed to levy a single regiment under a recent Act of Congress. " I remain, my dell. S'r Mn, with the highest re spect and esteem, your friend cnd humble servant, " WINFIELD SCOTT. " His Excellency Major-Gen. Sir John Harvey, " Lieutenant-Governor, &c," " REPLY OF SIR JOHN HARVEY TO GENERAL SCOTT'S LETTER. " Government House, Frederickton, N. 8., " Tuesday Evening, March 12, 1839. " MY DEAR GEN. SCOTT—Few circumstances of recent date have afforded me so much satisfaction as the receipt of your most friendly and acceptable communica tion of the 9th instant, from Augusta. I rejoice more especially that my letters, written, as their dates show, when I had little expectation of your services being re quired upon our hitherto peaceable frontier (for I have had pleasure in bearing my testimony to the good feel ing existing between this province and our neighbours of Maine), have reached your hands. My sentiments, as regards yourself, and, I will add, as respects the import ance to the cause of liberal institutions throught the ci vilized world, of the maintenance of peace, and, I will ald, of amity between Great Britain and the United States of America (her child and offspring), cannot change. " With the confidence and the frankness due from one soldier to another, I place myself unhesitatingly in your hands, as regards the following communications. My letter to the Governor of Maine was dictated by my instructions—for their tenour I am not re sponsible ; for their execution I am. With regard to the proposed agreement, so entirely in accord ance with my o;,vn views and wishes, I was happy in intimating my wiliing acquiescence, both to Mr. Fox and to Governor Fairfield. My communication to the latter (copy inclosed) will doubtless have been shown to you (I should wish it could be reputed as ad ressed to yourself), In saying to you that by confining myself to the valley of the St. John's, including the Madawaska settlement, (indispensable as is that line to the communication between these lower provinces and Canada, and settled, as it is, wholly by British subjects), and abstaining from any offensive operations against the armed force in the Aroostook, until a reference can be made to England, I hope and believe that I shall be considered as fulfilling the very spirit and intention of the memorandum.' I will add, that to this extent lam quite ready to pledge myself, as far as my power of ful. filling it extends, though I should not wish, for obvious reasons, arising out of the possibility of a national war, that any military post should be established nearer to the mouth of the Aroostook than fifteen or twenty miles ; and I should also wish, on grounds which, if con'.d fully explain to you (which I cannot do on paper) would be deemed by you equally honourable and conc:usive, that the armed force on the Aroostook should be gradually reduced and withdrawn ; leaving there only a moderate (in amount) civil-armed force, with which it might be in my power to co-operate in the protection of timber, &c. Such an arrangement would deprive the proximity of an armed force posted so near our great line of communication, of that offensive and aggressive character which might otherwise be at tached to it ; and might, moreover, enable me to dis pense with the presence of any considerable military force in the Madawaska settlement. Effect these ob jects, my dear General, and a border peace, pro tern pore, will be established. But, my dear friend, the great national question of peace or war, subject as are your authorities to the influence of " pressure from without," must still mainly depend upon the manner in which the President exercises the great powers confided to him "by the Bil!." Upon this subject your concluding pa ragraph is very satisfactory. If he immediately sends to Europe a spscial Ambassador, time will be given for the existing excitement to subside on this side of the Atlantic, and for the calm consideration and certain adjustment of the question on the other. All appears to me to depend upon this step. In the mean time, depend upon my avoiding collision by every Means in my power ; and that those shall be put in the wrong who may force it upon me. I hope you may be able to come and see me here, because here only can I receive you as I wish ; but I expect to go up to the neighbour hood of Houlton (probably in the early part of the next week), in the event, which I have no reason to doubt, of my Legislature closing their session this ; when, per haps, a meeting might be arranged. would willingly go to Houlton ; but, entre nous, my instructions, as Lieutenant-Governor, do not permit me to leave the province ; perhaps, therefore, you would come over to Woodstock. " I have heard much of Major Kirby, and all that I have heard induces me to wish to make his acquaintance. " Lieut.-Colonel Maxwell, 36th Regiment, is a fine, open-hearted soldier, and will promote our meeting with all his heart. Should you wish to come incog., I hope you will meet our friend Sir John Caldwell, at Augusta, where his affairs have taken him. He is unchanged and unchangeable —an excellent, intelligent, worthy creature. He can give you a full account of us all, and more especially the deep affliction into which the domestic calamity, upon which your kind condolences are so feelingly offered, has plunged this family. My refuge is a close devotion to my public and private duties ; and my consolation, the hope of a Christian. God bless you, my dear Sir. Your very sincere friend, " J. HARVEY. " P.S.—Pray remember that I have relays of pro vincial light dragoons, by whom a communication from Houlton, if sent by their commanding officer at Wood stock, will reach me in six hours." " GENERAL SCOTT TO SIR JOHN HARVEY. [Private.] " Augusta, Maine, March 21, 1839. "My dear Sir John Harvey—l received, with extraordinary despatch, your noble and friendly reply, dated the 12th instant, to my semi-official note addressed to you three days before, and commu nicating to his Excellency Governor Fairfield your conciliatory dispositions, we were both anxious to respond, in the same spirit, without a moment's delay, but the Governor thought he could make no pro mise to withdraw the troops of Maine, before it could be known that the Legislature would pass a resolution au thorising him to do so. It is now certain that such resolution will be adopted ; and, apologising for the delay that has occurred, I hasten to despatch the official note which accompanies this, and sincerely hope that it may prove satisfactory. In that event, and very soon after hearing from you, I do not doubt that I shall have the happiness of communicating to you a certified copy of the Governor's order for the recall of his troops. Should I, however, contrary to all expectation, not have it in my power to enclose such order, and promptly, I pledge myself to return you your reply without having permitted it to pass out of my hands, and without per mit:ing a copy of it to be taken. " I have been obliged to be a little specific in the declaration 1 have taken the liberty to invite from you, in order that I might be equally so in the proposed declaration to be made on the part of Maine ; all which may be considered as warranted by treating my note to you of the 9th instant and your reply of' the 12th as semi-official, and, as such, liable to be produced in explanation if necessary. To this I have no objection, and hope you may feel none. " That negotiations are about to be resumed between our Governments respecting the disputed territory, either at London or Washington, as may be preferred by Great Britain ; and that a messenger, recently ar rived from London, has informed Mr. Fox that instruc tions for him were nearly ready, 1 certainly know through an official letter recently arrived from Wash ington.l " It is probable that the Governor of Maine may deem a civil posse, partly armed and partly unarmed, of (say) froni one hundred and fifty to two hundred and fifty persons, necessary ; of whom he would, pro bably, keep a handful at the boom across the Aroostook, below the mouth of the Little Madawaska (on which there is much cut timber exposed), and the remainder at work on the " Aroostook road," on this side. Al though, under circumstances, he cannot stipulate on the subject, I am certain that he does not intend to send any part of such posse beyond the waters of the Aroos took river, and that it is his intention sn to employ his people in guarding the timber, as to be but little ob served, and to give the least possible irritation to the population of New Brunswick. Any aid which you may be pleased to afford in securing the Cut timber coming down the St. John's from the Aroostook dis trict of the disputed territory, after the timber shall have arrived within your undisputed limits, although uninvited by Maine, could not be regarded by her in any unfriendly spirit. " I have ventured, following out a suggestion in your note of the 12th instant, to insert in the declaration in vited from you the words without renewed instruc tions from his Government ;' and there is a correspond ing proviso in the proposed declaration to be made by Governor Fairfield, If this proviso be struck out of one declaration, it might be omitted by the other party. It is, however, not probable that new instructions would be given by your Government, or the Legislature of Maine, to disturb the proposed temporary arrangement pending negotiations. " I cannot, my dear Sir, believe, if we can succeed in preventing bloodshed at present about this boundary question, that it will be possible to get up a national war' between us. There is no such desire on the part of the Government or people of the United States ; on the contrary, a wish to preserve peace with Great Bri tain is almost universal with us, and is, I am sure, reci procated on the other side of the Atlantic. I have had pleasure in meerng here our old friend Sir John Cald well. He has done much good to both countries by his conciliatory sentiments and manners. " Long as I have delayed writing, under the circum stances intimated above, I have at last to write in haste' omitting much that I had wished to say of a personal character for some early occasion. In the meantime, &c., " WINFIELD SCOTT. " Major-General Sir John Harvey, &c." " This letter led to the arrangement which was for mally signed by the parties concerned, and had the happy effect of putting a stop for the time to the Aroostook war.' We will trust that there are very few of our readers who will not agree with us that the letters which passed between General Scott and Sir John Harvey do honour to the head and heart of both those [Mr. Paddison prefixes the following extract from the works of the celebrated Robert Robinson, of Cam bridge, as a preface to his late lecture to the working classes, entitled " The Established Church and Thoro good" " A religious society, formed on principles of Reve lation, has no other rule of action than the express word of God : natural worship resembles philosophical experiments, but revealed worship resembles positive institute. It is not enough that a thing is not forbidden : it must be commanded. Christian faith is belief of a divine, revealed, truth ; and Christian worship is obe dience to a divine, written, command. St. Paul went on this ground, when he argued from the silence of Scripture (Hebrew vii., 14) ; and when he affirmed the perfection of revelation (2 Tim. iii., 16, 17). " Revelation gives Christ an exclusive right of legis lation, good men entire liberty of conscience, and all men the right of private judgment. The Episcopal Church transferred all these rights to Harry and Eliza beth. It put them in the place of God, and alt their successors in the condition of irrationals. It admitted that dangerous first principle, human authority in re ligion ; and erected Anglican Episcopacy on what had alone supported Popery and Paganism. " This Church is constituted of the whole nation : of all ages, of both sexes ; of all principles, of no prin ciples ; of all practices and professions, good, bad, and indifferent. Its laws are canons, some confirmed by Parliament, others not : all enforced by penal sanctions. Its support is worldly riches, saved out of the ship wreck of that pirate the Pope. Its supreme head is a king or a queen ; Lutheran, Presbyterian, Prelatical, or Popish. It has existed under all, and served the views of each. " The officers of this Church are all unknown to Scripture. The same head is both the legislative and executive power. Under him, by commission, are archbishops who superintend diocesan bishops ; who have under them deans ; who arc over canons and prebendaries, rectors, vicars, curat e s. Th e fi rs t create the last, and th e ast swear obedience to the first. Prelates are Lords of Parliament ; they have a sole power of ordination, confirmation, consecration-- a secular power to issue out writs in their own names —to hold courts of judicature —to sentence without a jury —to transact business relative to marriages, wills, administrations ; and for these purposes they have courts and officers, chancellors, archdeacons, commis saries, vicars general, officials, surrogates, proctors, re gisters, apparitors, &c. To describe their names, power, employments, &c., would have puzzled the twelve inspired apostles. " The public worship of the Episcopal Church is by stated Liturgy —a defective book in every point of view. Its authority entirely human, it is conducted partly by a priest who reads, and partly by the people, who make responses—partly in a desk, partly at the communion table, &c. In cathedrals it is chaunted. It is composed of genuine and apocryphal Scrip tures ; creeds opposite to each other ; prayers of Scripture, Fathers, mass-book ; political maxims, and State designs. Infants are questioned ; boys are taught falsehoods, and afterwards confirmed ; bread and wine are consecrated ; the sick are absolved ; services arc said for the Stuarts ; heretics are execrated, &c. There are errors of every kind in it—literary, philoso phical, philological, theological : the very Scriptures are burlesqued, by being turned into question and answer. The whole is unnecessary and unwarrantable, and the imposition of it despotical. •"rhe Episcopal Church claims a right of ordaining ceremonies, and practises many—consecrating places —bowing to the East, and at the name of Jesus— sprinkling infants—signing with the sign of the cross —requiring sponsors—affecting great pomp and mys tery at what they call the sacrament—kneeling to receive it. The actors all venerate certain habits, as lawn sleeves, surplices, gowns, cassocks, hoods, &c. observing, beside Lord's days, one hundred and fifty holidays each year ; christening at the west end of their buildings, taking their sacrament at the e Ist ; reading in one place, preaching in another ; decorating with pictures, organs, bell s ; p u t t i ng on a r i ng i n mar riage, &c. The whole ritual is unordained by God, un profitable in Divine worship, expansive, heterogeneous, and hurtful to popular piety, by employing the little time and capacities of the common peoele about trifles, generally rendered hateful to them by the slovenly man ner in which they are performed. " The preface to the Episcopal Liturgy calls it divine service, and quaintly adds that the first original was ordained by the ancient Fathers. Every thine. in this community has been blasphemously put to God's ac count. There was the divine right of kings, the divine right of bishops, the divine right of tithes, and now there is a boo/L• of divine right. However, like other divine things, it may be examined ; reason and religion require it. " The terms of admission to membership and the ministry are calculated so as to render examination useless or dangerous. Infants are admitted, is public or private, by dipping or sprinkling, answering interroga tories by proxy. Proxies are even required for adults, who are admitted on their own profession of faith. Mi nisters are admitted by subscribin g thirty nine hetero geneous, abstruse, human articles ; by declaring that the books of ordination and common prayer are agree able to the word of God, that the two books of homilies contain a godly and wholesome doctrine, and by swear ing such:obedience to a lord bishop as 141 canons re quire. Nome of their divines say the articles are Armi nian ; others say they are Calvinistic. Some say they subscribe to the words; others say to the sense ; some some say to their own, and others to that of the com pilers ; others, again, in no sense. They subscribe them as articles of peace, not of truth. The whole affair of subscription is a miserable scene of prevarication. The Episcopal Church imposes ministers on parishes without the people's consent ; hence, no emulation in the priests, nor the least aspiration after freedom in the people : yet they call themselves clergy, that is, ministers chosen by lot. The king or queen for the time being chooses all the bishops, all the deans in England, all the prebendaries, and many rectors. The Loid Chancellor chooses many : the bishops choose the Welch deem, the archdeacons, many rectors, vicars, &c. Nobility and gentry have right of patronage : all present with out the consent of the people. All this arrangement is for purpose of civil government, or rather for purpose of the regal prerog a ti ve ; an d i t d espo il s priests and people, alike, of religious liberty. " The discipline of this corporation is the to Est irregular and tyrannical that can well be "in this country. Numbers of ministers and. members, who disbeli eve t h e d octr i nes of the ereeds and practice s ' all immoralities, li ve quietly --yea, obtain the highest,- ferment i n i t . S ome of the most wicked are obligedge rteo receive th e i r sacrament as a qualificati on for office. This corp orat i on pun i shes in spiritual courts—true in quisitionse—where lay chancellors are judges, from whose decrees there lies no appeal. The punish ments are fines, imprisonments, deprivations, penances, commutations of penance, excommunications, even of those who w ere never of the community. The excom municated ar e exc l u d e d from the public worship, cut off from giving evidence from recovering property by law, from Ch r i st i an burial*, &e. All this cruel polity is var nished over with spirituality and divinity. In the nam e of God, Amen! A spiritual Lord—by Divine Providence--in a spiritual court—plays the devil, and EVENING EDITION *ails the bloody farce a divine service ; exactly as Christ foretold.

A letter addressed by Mr. O'Connell to Mr. Ray, the Secretary of the National Association, appeared in the Dublin Evening Post of last Saturday.

Mr. O'Connell asserts that the source whence Lord Stanley's Bill came is to be found in hatred to Ireland and her religion, that nothing is to be hoped from the pro' sent Parliament, and he is therefore constrained to con jure his countrymen to join him in seeking for repeal.
