We must request the indulgence of our correspondents until Tuesday. !Lljt ttinrpool -AtanDarb. PRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 1, 1330. The correspondence which has recently taken place between the Bishop of Exeter and Lord John Russell is satisfactory in one respect, as adding, if possible, a clearer proof than hitherto existed of the falsity of the charge which represents the Church of England as insisting upon retaining within the limits of her own pale a monopoly of Education. We might be disposed o say, that it is satisfactory also in another,—namely, _ _ as exhibiting the courteous tone and temper with which the Colonial Secretary professes to speak of the Establishment,—had we not pretty strong proof that such language is extorted from the fears of his Lord ship, and in no degree flows from any feeling of attach ment on his part towards the interests of the Church. The fact is, that Ministers, in their late attempt to force thin ethane of,National Education upon the peo ple, had wholly miscalculated the force of the resistance which would be offered to their plan. ' They fancied that the alarm, if sounded at all, would be confined to the voices of some few isolated individuals, whose zeal would be considered gi eater than their knowledge ; and that the specious boon, of Government school masters overspreading the country, and converting every hamlet into an oasis of enlightened wisdom, would be hailed with noisy gratitude, and bear down any opposition which could proceed from a few vigi lant champions of the Church. They now feel that they have made a false step, and that, in effectually awakening the fears of the Establishment, they have (lone more to endanger their .political existence than by any other act during their long period of mis government. Their chief anxiety, therefore, is to avert the consequences of this grand error; and hence the hypocritical affectation of respect for the interests of the Church, and earnest desire, if possible, to conci liate the Clergy. If the last Treasury minute which issued from the Educational Board was so carefully worded as almost to disarm criticism, and lull to sleep any jealous suspicions of lurking hostility towards a system of Scriptural instruction, who for a moment doubts to what cause to attribute this contrast between the former and present policy of Ministers ? They have provoked a dangerous foe, and seek to appease it by every art of cajolery and cunning. To believe that such language proceeds from such men as the genuine expression of their - real sentiments, is to exercise a degree of charity of which we confess ourselves inca pable. No 1 the true motive is fear; and to attribute the altered tone of Lord John Russell on this subject to a higher principle, is to act as absurdly as those " whO hang grapes on thorns, and then gather them as the natural fruit of the branches." But to the point with which we set out. The reck- lessness with which our opponents avail themselves o: the 'aid of " enormous lying," when other weapons o: attack are not forthcoming, imposes upon us the ne• cessity of wearying our readers with reiterated expo sures of the calumnies with which the Conservative party is assailed. It must be said, sung, and repeated, until the poisoned arrow from the quiver of faction has lost its power, that on no occasion, it no time, and by no authoritative voice proceeding from herself, has the Church of England wished to restrict the blessings of Education to the members of her communion She has never asserted that the State should expend the public money solely upon her, and that the only schools assisted by Government should be those in which she could train up the minds of the young, and exercise a superintending care. But she did insist— and her voice' has prevailed—that in the conduct of her own schools she should he left free and unfettered; and that, whatever might be the system of instruction which would please the somewhat coarse palate . of Dissenters, and unite Unitarians, Deists, Muggleto nians, Huntingdonians, Anabaptists, and Papists in harmonious co-operation, she at least should be called upon to make no compromise of her principles, or admit as intermeddlers with ha discipline and rules a Committee of laymen in whose religious principles she could place no confidence, and appointed by a Govern ment which might be hostile to her existence. Indeed, the best proof of the falsehood of the charge so emphatica'lly denied by the Bishop of Exeter, is the fact, that no objection whatever has been raised by Churchmen to the mode in which the Education Grant has been disposed of since the period when Lord Al thorp made the first proposal in Parliament. The National School Society has seen a portion of the annual grant of £20,000 bestowed upon the British and Foreign School Society without a murmur or complaint. The Church of England received her share of the public money appropriated to purposes of instruction, and the Dissenters received theirs ; and neither Bishop, Priest, nor Layman made the slightest opposition to this just and equitable arrangement. It is false, therefore, to assert that the Clergy have ever called upon the State to lavish all its expenditure and care upon that portion of the community only which submitted to their guidance and control. • It is false to assert that they have called upon the Government " to withhold all public aid for the instruction of those children of the poor whose parents conscientiously object to allow their children to be taught the Church Catechism, or to be compelled, as the price of their instruction, to attend to divine service in other than their own places of worship." We quote the words of the Bishop of Exeter, and we cordially concur in his emphatic disavowal of any such wish or design on the part of that Church of which he is one of the most distinguished members. Sic utere tuo ut alienum non lmdas is a maxim of the common law, and we only ask for an equally fair principle to be ap plied in this controversy between us and the Liberals. Let the Government adhere to the old principle of dis tribution, and grant money to the two Societies in pro portions adapted to the efforts made respectively by each. We well know that the Church will obtain the lion's share, but it will be an honourable competition — a noble rivalry—and however much we may lament that her sound system of Education is rejected by so many of our fellow-countrymen, we will not begrudge them pecuniary assistance in their attempts to amend their intellectual condition according to their own fa shion. The former plan worked well—why was it de parted from ? To bring the schools more directly un der the care of the Establishment within the influence of the Executive, and thus afford an opportunity of tampering with the minds of the young by a process which was intended hereafter to tell with powerful effect in favour of the Liberals. Indeed the Edinburgh Review makes this very ac quiescence on the part of Churchmen, in the former principle of distribution, a ground of attack against the Conservatives now. The writer of the article headed " Ministerial Plan of Education—Church and Tory Misrepresentations" argues that we are incon sistent in repudiating- the offer of a boon which we previously accepted with thankfulness ; and the lan guage of Lord Stanley, in which he declared that the previous plan " had the unanimous assent of the House of Commons, the almost unanimous assent of the peo p'e of this country, and the entire approbation of the people of the community," is cited as a proof that fac tious motives are the cause of the present opposition. But what gross " misrepresentation" is it to attempt to identify the proposition of Lord Althorp in 1832 with the scheme originally brought forward by Lord John Russell in 1839 ? In the former there was no model school for adult Teachers, in which were to be admit ted the holders of the most opposite opinions on the most momentous of all subjects—whom it would be impossible to qualify for the task of imparting religi ous instruction, however learned they might have be come in various departments of secular knowledge— and who, consequently, Would soon look upon the for mer as useless or altogether subordidate to the latter,; — there was no Treasury Committee of Laymen who, like the Board of Poor Law Guardians in Somerset House, were to set in motion and regulate the whole machinery of national schools ;—there was no system of Government inspection and interference with the kind of instruction which the Church might think it most needful to impart. There was all the difference between the acceptance of a free gift and one clogged with an odious condition. The great body of Church •men thankfully received the former, and turned it to he best advantage. They rejected and denounced the atter ; and for this they are exposed to the charge of ,nconsstency and bigotry, and whatever else the Li- Jerals think will make our cause most unpopular with ;he nation. But these epithets are recoiling on them- The people have unequivocally declared them selves in this matter upon the side of the Church ; and the Whig-Radicals now find to their confusion, selves. that her " name is a tower of strength, which they upon the adverse faction want." Hence these reite rated attempts to distort the real facts of the case, and blacken the motives of her strenuous and partially successful opposition to the scheme of Ministers. We have been favoured with a sight of a copy of the Bombay Times of a recent date—the 11th of Septem ber, containing news of great interest to this country, in relation to our possessions in India, including the dethronement of the Raja of Sattara. The intelligence is not only important, but will ex cite a strong feeling of satisfaction throughout England. The series of triumphs which the army of the Indus has achieved lays this nation under the deepest grati tude to the officers and men, and especially to Sir John Keane, the distinguished commander of the army, who has proved himself worthy of the highest praise. rh—r....4 —4,4. L 1 wmeii lr ottnntina, ic rtnn.32 the dispersion of the Afghan army, and the entry of the Sooljar and the British into Cabool. After stating that the report in the Dehi Gazette that the army of the Indus had been engaged with that of Dost Ma homed, says:—" All the beneficial results that could possibly have arisen from the most brilliant victory have been secured without the effusion of blood, and long ere this Shah Sooja 00l Moolk has been peaceably established in the throne of Cabocl." Sir John Keane, with the first column of the army, marched from Ghiznee en route to Cabool on the 30th of July. lie was followed on the succeeding day by his Majesty Shah Soojah, with the second column, consisting of the Shah's own troops, and a portion of the British force, under the command of Major-General Wilshire. On the arrival of the Commander-in-chief, with the first column, at Hyder Khail, on the Ist ultimo, (August,) he received information that Post Mahomed, with his army and artillery, were advancing from Cabool, and would probably take up a position either at Urgnundee or Midan, (the former of which is 24 and the latter 36 miles from Cabool. It was consequently arranged that his Majesty Shah Scojah, with the second column, should join the com mander-in-chief at Hyde° . Khail, and that the united columns should proceed to attack Dost Mahomed, whose son, Mahomed Akhbar, had been recalled from Jellalabad, and who, accompanied by the troops pre viously employed in guarding the Khybo pass, had effected a junction with his father. Those united forces were about 13,000 men." The Times then goes , on to describe the proceedings of the combined army, and the final victory obtained on the 2d of August, which annihilated all the hopes of Dost Mahomed, and placed Cabool in possession of his rightful throne, and of which a synopsis will be found in the following subsequent article from the same paper : " The Packet to be despatched from this on Thursday nex will contain the most important intelligence, that has ever been conveyed, from Bombay to England, since the establish ment of steam communication. The following is a retros pect of the intelligence which we have from time to time published in our columns since the departure of the Zenobia, on the 2d of August up to the present time. The latest in telligence received from the army of the Indus at the time of closing the last packet was, by letters from Candahar, dated the 18th June. The army remained at that city, until the last week in June, for the purpose of recruiting the strength both of men-and horses, who were exhausted by a long and tedious march, during which they had suffered extreme pri vation from the scarcity of provisions, and the hostility of the Predatory, tribes who infested their route, and who, though they never attempted to offer serious opposition, were always on the alert, to cut off small detachments, and to plunder the cattle and provisions committed to their charge. This delay was also requisite for the purpose of enabling the commissariat to collect the necessary supplies. On the 24th June a large convoy of grain arrived at Candahar, and pre parations were made for an immediate advance on Cabool. The army broke into four divisions, the first of which quitted Candahar on the 27th, the 2nd on the 28th. the 3rd on the 29th, and the 4th on the 30th June. On the 16th July the army reached Mookeer, four days' march on the Candahar side of Ghixni : no event worthy of notice occurred up to this date, with the exception of a skirmish between the troops of his majesty Shah Sooja and the followers of the rebellious chieftain of the Takhee tribe. In this rencontre the Shah's troops were victorious, having taken the chief's standard, and killed 30 or 40 of his followers. On the 20th the army was concentrated at Nanee, a distance of twelve miles from Ghizni, towards which it marched on the morn ing of the 21st. Large bodies of Afghans were - now known to be moving in the immediate vicinity of the line of march, and the proper dispositions were made, on the part of the British troops, to enable them to repulse any attack the enemy might think fit to make. " On coming within range of the guns of Ghizni, a sharp cannonade together with a heavy fire of musketry opened on the leading column, which was returned by the British artil lery for a short time, after which, the firing was ordered to cease, and the troops placed in bivouac. The 22d was spent in reconnoitering the place and preparing to take it by storm. At twelve o'clock that night the artillery moved into position, followed at a short interval by the infantry. A few minutes before three o'clock on the morning of the 23d, the gates were blown open by the engineers. The bugles sounded the advance, on which the artillery opened a tremendous fire, under cover of which, in spite of a most determined resist ance, the infantry forced a passage through the gateway, and at five o'clock in the morning, the colours of her Majesty's 13th and 17th regiments were planted on the citadel of Ghiz- ni. Thus in little more than two hours one of the strongest fortresses in Asia, garrisoned by 3500 Afghans, (a far braver race than any which had previously been opposed to an An glo-Indian army), and commanded by a son of the ex-King of Cabool, was completely in the possession of the British. Five hundred of the garrison were slain, and the remaining 3000 with their commander taken prisoners, whilst the total number of casualties amongst the victors does not exceed 191 in killed, wounded, and missing. The moral effect produced by the capture of Ghizni, has been such as to cause the dis persion of Dost Mahomed's army, and to secure the peace able entrance of Shah Soojah, into the capital of his domin ions. Lord Auckland's policy now fairly entitles him to be crowned with those never-fading laurels, which the world accords to none, but the promoters of successful projects. The military movements of the past month have not been confined to the army of the Indus. Two field forces have been directed to assemble ; one composed of troops on the Bengal establishment, is ordered to rendezvous at Nusseera bad, for the purpose of attacking Joudpore. It consists of four squadrons of native cavalry, one troop of horse, and two and a half companies of foot artillery, with six regiments of native infantry, two companies of sappers and miners ; the whole being commanded by Major-General R. Hopton. The other is commanded by Malor-General Wilson, and consists of one cavalry and two infantry brigades, with proportionate details of artillery and engineers. The force is drawn from the Madras establishment, and will assemble at Adoni, for the reduction of Kurnool. Government appears determined to chastise the insolence of the native. Princess. Our suc cess in Afghanistan, the preparations against Joudpoor and Kurnool, and the recent deposition of the Sattara Rajah, will probably induce even the most refractory to succumb. The replltts circulated during the 'past month relative to Ava and Nepaul are rather contradictory. On the whole it would appear that the Nepalese will choose their own time to make an attack upon us, whilst, at the same time, the orders which have been issued to the General Service corps in Bengal, as well as the detention of the Jupiter, and his majesty's 61st Regiment in Ceylon,. would induce us to believe that the supreme government intends to take the first favourable opportunity for chastising the insolence of the Burmese monarch. " We have just heard that there is likely to be some prize money from Ghiznee. From the general poverty of the country, in the precious metals, and the plain habits of the woo abound not, like the 1 - 11nuut, naps, In uaroarn: pearl and gold," we should not have looked for any large capture of treasure or valuables in this quarter. There may, however, be horses and shawls, and perhaps some valuable diamond of the kindred of the Kooh-i-noor. Some of the money, too, of Mr. Vickovitch scattered in Afghanistan may have found its way into the Ghiznee citadel : if so, its falling into the hands of the British army would be a fitting and amusing retribution." The Bombay Times next notices the dethronement of the Raja of Sattara, who, it appears, though re leased from captivity by the British government, and placed in one of the most splendid principalities of the Deccan, persisted in preferring the most vexatious claims to an extension of territory and other prero gatives injurious to our tenure of India; and who, moreover, corresponded with other native powers, in culcating disaffectiOn, in which he was encouraged by the late disturbed state of the country. The paper before us, on this subject says : " The Rajah of Sattara has at length met his well-merited fate. A little before day-break on Wednesday last, the time allowed him for the acceptance of the terms having expired without his compliance, the Resident, supported by the Bth Regiment of Native Infantry and other troops proceeded to the palace of the Rajah, and arrested his Highness, who sur rendered himself at once, and was sent under an escort to the village of Nimbgaum, about seven miles from Sattara, and about eight o'clock the same morning, Appa Sahib, the ex- Rajah's brother was proclaimed his successor, under the style and title of SHREEMUNT MAJERAJ SHAJEE RAJAH CHUTTERPUTTY, of SATTARA.' " Bala Sahib, a member of the Royal Family, and about twenty adherents followed the palankeens of the dethroned prince from Sattara. The present Rajah has no children, and is not to be permitted to adopt ; so that the Sattara territory will, at his death, be annexed to the dominions of the East India Company. " We are glad to be able to state in correction of a passage, which occurred in our account of the 4th instant, that although the Rajah was told the British Government was fully satisfied, that his guilt had been conclusively established, he was not required to make any acknowledgment of his criminality. This measure would have been harsh ; it might have clouded the otherwise unsullied justice of the cause, and afforded to generous minds a justification of the Rajah's resistance. " Every effort was, on the contrary, made to save his high ness but the usual fatuity of those whom destiny has aban doned, hurried him to his doom, and, trusting to the various agencies he had established in England and India, and on which he has squandered large sums of money, he would not be saved. What must now be the reflections of those who have reduced him to his present fallen estate ? Their bit terest regrets will probably be, not for the fate of their vic tim, but for the cessation of their own gains." At the conclusion of the same article, the writer aftpr nathwinir gayeral 'won& of the hp2.44rancr. and dangerous conduct of the Rajah : " The partizans of the late Rajah in Bombay, whether be lieving him innocent, or believing him merely rich, and, as such, a fitting carcase for the vultures to gather on, little knew the mass of conclusive evidence of his guilt, oral and documentary, which is now in possession of government. The title which he had assumed in his own court, and by which he bad latterly been addressed by his agents, ' HINDU PUD PADSHAH SIRKAR,' or, ' EMPEROR OF THE HINDU'S,' is in itself a sufficient index to the insane pretensions which his miserable deluders had led him to entertain." Thus, after the lapse of 22 years, the Rajah of Suttara has followed the example, and met the fate of his former enemy, the Peishwau Bojei Row, The electors of Liverpool have this day a most im portant duty to perform. The period has arrived for the annual election of Town-councillors, and there never was a time which called more loudly for zeal and exertion on behalf of the conservative interest. It is necessary to the continuance of the prosperity of this, the second port in the kingdom, that we have a majority of right-minded men in the Council Chamber. If a termination is to be made of the gross jobbing and perversion to political purposes exhibited in that Chamber, the burgesses have it now in their power to do so. The claims of the candidates may be placed on two grounds—their attachment or objection to the Es tablished Church; and their knowledge or ignorance of local affairs: the electors will not be long in making the choice. We hope on Tuesday to congratulate the town on the election of twelve good men and true in the conservative interest. Yesterday evening, in St. Jude's Church, the Rev. Hugh M`Neile gave notice, that on Tuesday next, the sth of No vember, he intended to read the service appointed for that day in the Book of Common Prayer, and afterwards to preach, a sermon in aid of the Protestant Association. He said, at the same time, that it would be truly delightful to see the circumstances of the country such as to justify the wisdom, or even the safety, of discontinuing all such commemorations, and forgetting, if possible, all such atrocities as the Gun powder Plot : but it was his conviction, that, under existing circumstances, the practical remembrance of such facts in our history is as painfully necessary, and their public com memoration as nationally wise, as on the year next after their occurrence. Cordially agreeing as we'do in these sentiments of the rev. gentleman, and feeling, with the writer in the London Times of last Tuesday, how deeply the country is indebted to the seasonable labours of the Protestant Associations, we ven ture most respectfully to suggest to all our clerical readers whd are members of our Liverpool Protestant Association, the desirableness of combining a collection for that excellent institution with their commemoration of the sth of Novem ber.—We perceive that the Rev. Hugh Stowell is to preach in London, on Nov. sth, in aid of the London Protestant Association. FIFTH OF NOVEMBER.—This protestant anniversary will be commemorated by the Protestant Association, by church services and sermons, in the. following places. We trust the example will be generally followed throughout England:— London—St. Clement Danes, in the Strand ; morning, at 11, with sermon, by the Rev. Dr. Croly • evening, at half past six, sermon by the Rev. Hugh Stowell, of Manchester. Southwark, St. Saviour's—Rev. W. Curling. Gosport— Rev. A. S. Thelwall. Sydenham—Rev. T. P. Hutton. South Lambeth—Rev. Robert Eden. Iver, Bucks—Rev. Dr. Cuthbert. Streatham—Rev.:Robert Monro. Willion— Rev. W. W. Pym. Titchmar.h, Northamptonshire—Hon. and Rev. L. Powys. Launceston—Rev. E. B. Gibbens. Saffron Walden—Rev. Mr. Bull. Remenham, near Henley on-Thames—Rev. T. Maynard. Gwinean, near Camborne, Cornwall—Rev. J. G. Wolff. Penzance—Rev. Thomas Vyvyan. Clare, Suffolk—Rev. G. Ingram. Stanbourne, Essex—Rev. J. Hopkins. These will speedily be followed (D. V.) by great protestant meetings, at Norwich, Yarmouth, Sheffield, Gosport, Stafford, Worcester, Brighton, Whit church in Salop, Birmingham, and many other places. THE ROYAL INSTITUTION, COLQUITT-STREET.—We re joice to state that the interest excited towards this Institution is rapidly on the increase, and trust that it will receive com mensurate support. The rooms appropriated to whatever is curious in the animal, vegetable, and mineral kingdom, are well worthy of a visit. By a resolution of the committee, the public have been admitted gratuitously for some months past, on the first Monday in each month. The first open day was on'the 7th of January in the present year, the day succeeding the night of the great storm, and itself so boisterous that comparatively few persons attended. The attendance of visitors has since, however, greatly and rapidly increased, as will be found from the following statement, politely afforded us by the Curator : lstMonday in January.. 120 Ist Monday in June ... 3280 February. 350 „ July.... 5335 March... 300 „ August. 4656 f!

He is opposed by five other gentlemen, among whom is Mr. Daniel Whittle Harvey. The election was fixed for yesterday. MR. FELIX GATAYES' CONCERT. This accomplished pianist and composer gave a grand Soi• r6e Musicale last night, at the Templars' Hall, Great George street. Though•under the patronage of the worshipful the Mayor and the Brazilian Consul, w•e regret to say that the room was not half tilled : the audience, however, was select and fashionable. _ _ _ Mr. Gatayes was assisted by Miss Whitnall and Miss Hammond, and Messrs. Walton, Davies, Lunt, and Elliot. Conductor, Mr. Eyton. The ladies conducted themselves fairly, as ladies generally do. Mr. Eyton deserves great credit for his violin playing in the Duet Coneertante (for harp and violin), generally ascribed to Labarre and De Beriot. We may be mistaken, but to most ears, in com mon with our own, violin accompaniments to the harp, unless in the hands of a skilful tactician, sound discor dant, and as if out of tune, owing to an alternate predo minance of sharp and flat. Mr. Elliot proved himself an able second to Mr. Gatayes in the Grand Duetfor two Pianb fortes. Both instruments went together with neatness, force, and precision. Mr. Gatay6s was rapturously applauded on rising from each of his performances. His execution was equal to Daehler's, in the Grand Fantasia and Variations for the Piano-forte, and elicited a burst of applause as loud as it was merited. This gentleman should consider his first con cert this season as but breaking the ice ; such talent as he possesses cannot fail to win for him public approval wherever he avails himself of opportunities of demonstrating it. 3REA.T ROWING MATCH BETWEEN BOATMEN OF THE THAMES AND BOATMEN OF THE CLYDE. Some time past negociations were on foot for a grand trial of " skill and dexterity," between four select rowers from the Thames, and four from the Clyde, and it was finally agreed that the contest should take place at Liverpool, on the 30th of October. The fact being announced in several of the London and provincial journals, with varied lengthened speculations as to the result; much interest was excited towards the match, particularly amongst the lovers of aquatic sports, and this interest continued to increase, as the day of trial approached. On Monday, the boats in which the strug gle was to take place, were both launched in the Mersey, and their crews, both apparently in capital condition, rowed up and down the river, giving occasionally such a " smack of their respective qualities," as left it a matter of considerable doubt, in the minds of those who took an - interest in such matters, which would be the winner. The following were the Rules and Regulations agreed upon : ENGLAND AGAINST SCOTLAND IN FOUR-OARED GIGS. I.—The bet to be £lOO a-side. 2.—Each crew to provide their own gig, without any restrictions as to length, oars, pulling with buttons, &c. 3.—The match to " come off" at Liverpool. on the 30th of October, unless deferred by mutual consent ; and the party failing to forfeit the bet. REGULATIONS. TI p b o u6o t L. 0...0,1 twenty yards apart, and backed to a line fixed between two boats moored for the - purpose, and started by the discharge of a gun. 2.—The oars to be " tossed" at starting—that is, out of the rowlocks, till the signal for starting is given. 3.—To pull round a flag-boat moored at a distance to be agreed upon, not less than three miles, and back to the place of starting. 4.—Whichever of the gigs takes a lead must not alter its course, to prevent the other from passing. _ s.—That palpable fouling (sucli as hOlding the boat of the other with the hand or oar, knocking off the rudder, or any such unfair means) shall forfeit the offending party the race. 6.—That the decision of the judge or judges chosen, in all matters of dispute, shall be final. The boats were much admired. The Londoners brought two boats ; one of them a fair weather boat, 36 feet long, and shallow, with the rollocks raised from the gunwale ; the other a stouter and deeper vessel, suitable for a heavier seaway. The latter was preferred for the occasion, a beautiful boat, built four years ago, by Mr. Hunt, the celebrated builder of rowing gigs in London. Her plank is, we are informed, only an eighth of an inch in thickness, and is of Christiana (Swe diAh) deal, varnished exteriorly like a coach, and having a light yellow appearance, resembling oak. The Scotch boat, built by Mr. Nicol, of Greenock, was somewhat larger, and considerably heavier. She was painted of a vermilion co lour, with a gilded streak all round. The following were the respective size and weight of each boat Thames Boat Clyde 80at... The crews were : Length. 32 feet 4• 38 ,p Weight. 130 lb. 237„ THAMES BOAT. Charles Campbell, Stroke oar.

Ist do. Joseph M'Leod, Helmsman. As had been fixed upon, the match came off on Wednes. day, before many thousands of spectators, afloat and on shore. The morning was rather favourable than otherwise : but it having blown heavily till about ten o'clock, and a strong breeze continuing to prevail from E. S.E., causing a considera ble seaway on the Cheshire shore, the idea of the contest taking place in the neighbourhood of the Rock Ferry was abandoned, the Lancashire side of the river being prefered,—the quay walls affording a view of the sport throughout their whole length. The boats, it was generally stated, (and advertised) would start at eleven o'clock ; but, somewhat to the disap pointment of anxious expectants, and particularly those in the boats to whom felt the keenness of the easterly breeze was scarcely welcome, the race did not begin until after one. The curiosity of the public was not, however, much, if at all, abated by this delay. The piers along, nearly the whole line of the contest from opposite to Brunswick Dock at the south ern, to Messrs. Wilson's building yard at the north end of the town, became densely lined with spectators of all ages, sexes, and condition, and presented to the river a dark line of human beings, the continuity of which was only slightly broken here and there by the entrances to the dock basins and slips. Several of the river steam-boats not immediately engaged in " the ferrying department," also held their hun dreds of spectators, who crowded not only the deck, but the paddle-boxes, each paying a fare of Gd. for a sail up and down to witness the race. Several of the large steamers of the port at anchor in the river, and others,—including steam tugs, bore also their loads ; and the sailing and row boats from the slips and basins were in requisition by the more adventurous, and rendered the locomotion by the steamers a matter of fre io s t ingagi h a l:4M happi l y 1 4 1 some; gen tlemen,t secure their hats by a lanyard or string, had the mortification to have them blown off into the river. Both sets of rowers had been very successful at " home ;" both having been frequently victorious in similar contests. The Scotch boat had rowed with boats from Cork, Dublin, Cowes, the Isle of Man, &c., and never been beaten. The starting place was from opposite a flag-boat moored near the wall of the Brunswick Basin. Before the race, both the boats, and several other gigs, amongst which was one from Chester, pulled up and down at a rapid rate. About one o'clockthe three boats "gathered" up to the starting place. - The backers of the respective parties, with their friends were on board the Steam-tug Company's steamer Mona and they attended to the preliminaries of placing the flags starting the boats, &c. The backers of the Clyde men were Sir John Colquhoun, Bart. M.P. and William Colquhoun, Esq. The backers of the Thames watermen were W. F. Maitland, Esq. and W. R. W. Freeman, Esq. The distance marked off was four miles, the extreme end of the course, round a flag-boat anchored at the south end of Bootle Bay, not far from Messrs. Wilson's yard—and the winning post being a boat with a red flag, moored nearly opposite the south steps of the Prince's Pier. The rowers were started at 29 minutes past one by the firing of a gun by Mr. Colquhoun, the rules instituted to be observed on the occasion being strictly complied with, The Scotch boat (colour, red) took the lead, a little, followed close by the Londoners (yellow,) and greeted by the cheers of the spectators, both on the river and on the pier. The lead was not long kept by the Scotch. The English put out their mettle, soon gained upon them, and finally headed them, taking the lead and maintaining it throughout. She passed the Clyde boat before the first quarter of a mile was run. It soon became next to certain that the Scotch could not pull up, though their friends were still sanguine that they were reserving themselves for the struggle up the river, on the way home, when the tide would be with them. The bettings, however, went against them, every pull—the friends of the Londoners offering at first 12 to 10—then 8 to 4, and latterly 15 to 1. When the boats reached the quay at the Tobacco-warehouse, the yellow boat was about three lengths a-head : when passing George's Pier, she had shot about 100 yards a-head of her antagonist, and as they proceeded the latter, though at one time she gained a little on the Lon doners, and finally dropped more and more astern. A slight obstruction was caused by the Scotch boat, by a flat coming out of one of the basins, and the distance gained at this time by the other crew, they only to a very partial extent made up ; the consequence was, that the London watermen reaceed the flag-boat 40 seconds sooner than the other party. Both continued to pull with might and main, but it was all up with the Clyde men, and the Londeners came to the winning flag from 200 to 300 yards a-head of them. The Scotchmen came in about 1 minute and 20 seconds after them. The first boat reached the winning flag about 43 minutes after 1, doing the distance of four miles in 28 minutes 15 seconds ; the second boat accomplished it in 29 minutes 35 seconds. The Scotchmen, it is said, anticipated a longer run, but be this as it may the result showed the superiority of the London rowers, or the London boat, (in smooth water at least,) or, more probably, of both. The Londoners sat nearly upright, with but little motion of the body in pulling, the arms being principally at work, in rapid and shortish strokes. They used the " spoon," or bent bladed oar, peculiar to the Thames boats. The Scotchmen, on the other hand, bent more back wards in their pulling, throwing the weight of their bodies more upon their oars, and giving longer pulls. Their oars moreover, of the straight kind, and appeared to be rather larger than the others. Their boat, as before stated, was also larger and heavier. What difference would appear between the two crews were they to exchange boats we shall not as sume to determine, or what would have been the result had there been a seaway on the river. The Scotch were beaten fairly, but contended honourably ; and as " the race is not always to the strong," they must keep up their spirit, and as they have beaten others, persevere, so that they may yet achieve othet laurels. The greatest good feeling prevailed throughout the contest among the supporters of each party, and every thing was conducted with a spirit of fairness and impartiality. A rumour obtained currency yesterday, that another match in which a Chester boat would be entered, had been made up, but this appears to be unfounded. By the result of the race, a very considerable sum doubtless changed hands amongst those who betted on the success of the respective crews,—neither of whom though the contest was severe, appeared tole distressed. We concur with our contemporary, that the thanks of the various parties must he especially due to Mr. Arthur, manager of the Liverpool Steam-tug Company, for his valuable services in pointing out the various places for the flag-boats, and for providing, in the case of need, life-buoys, which were kept on board of the Mona, which followed the race-boats in their whole course. The Dutch papers announce the dangerous illness of the Empress of Russia. Her Imperial Majesty has been for se veral months in a delicate state of health. CAUTION TO LICENSED VICTUALLERS. —It will be re membered that about two years ago an imposition was prac tised upon the licensed victuallers of Manchester, and most of the surrounding towns, by which money was extorted from them to the amount of several hundred pounds. Mr. Bryden, of the Gt. George's Tavern, Upper Pitt-street, has pointed out to us a communication in the Era, Sunday news paper, by which it appears that an individual has, within the present month, been travelling in Mancherter, with a letter purporting to he signed by " Robert Hughes," as agent the Leeds Licensed Victuallers Association, requesting sig natures to a petition of the innkeepers to parliament for the reduction of the window duty, and other taxes, together with other alterations which the trade require. Mr. Thomas Oates, of Manchester, to whom one of these circulars was addressed, published a copy of it in the Era, with remarks to the effect that it is not authentic. Mr. Bryden, with a view also to gave the pockets of his brother tradesmen from any exactions that might otherwise be levied upon them, in forms us that a person calling himself the accredited agent of " Hughes," is now in or about this town ; and Ile wishes them to be on their guard against his misrepresentations,— the whole scheme being one to delude them out of their money. MEETING OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND PRAYER•BOOK AND HOMILIE SOCIETY. Yesterday evening the annual meeting of the Liverpool Branch of this Society was held at the Music Hall, for the purpose of hearing the Report for the past year, and making an appeal to the public in behalf of the institution. Owing in some measure to the unusual coldness of thee weather for the season, there being a chilling east wind, and more to the objects of the society not being sufficiently known, and, consequently, not so generally appreciated. the attendance, though highly respectable and enthusiastic in the cause, was not very numerous,—the large room being little more than half-filled. Mr. THOMAS PORTER was called to the chair, and the business of the meeting was opened by prayer. The CHAIRMAN said, the cause in which they had met had a strong claim upon their warmest and most affectionate support, for it went to oppose what was sound and scriptural to what might be termed incoherent enthusiasm, infidelity, and error,—the correctives for which were to be found in the admirable liturgy and prayers of their church. He ex plained the object of the society to be, to distribute gratui tously, and to sell at a low price, prayer-books and homilies. In circulating these works, and tracts connected with them, he believed they were promoting the work of God. He called upon Mr. Maynyard to read (which he did as follows) THE REPORT FOR 1839. The committee of this auxiliary desire once more, on the occasion of this anniversary, to record their united senti ments relative to the value and importance of the Prayer- Book and Homily Society, in behalf of which they have been hitherto engaged—sentiments which time has only tended to confirm and strengthen. Never, they would observe, was this institution of greater importance than at the present period, when such a marvel lous union exists between zealous foes without, and mistaken friends within, the pale of the Church of England. Next to the Bible, which is the fountain of light and truth, the Prayer-book, with the Scriptural articles, liturgy, and homilies of the Church of England, together with the works which have been set forth by authority, for instruction, and for the defence of the principles of the Established Church, (which it is the object of this society to circulate as much as possible,) stand forth as a barrier to the inroads of error and superstition, and afford the most valuable assistance to all who would worship God in spirit and in truth. While it combats the errors of the Papacy in the most effectual man ner, it affords to all an opportunity of knowing what were the real sentiments of the Reformers, and brings before the public the Scriptural principles upon which our church stands. Of all societies, then, which deserve the cordial support and co-operation of the clergy as well as laity of the Church of England, none has stronger claims than this. It is pecu liarly and essentially a truly Christian Church Society ; and in the present day, when the church is assailed on all sides, every encouragement should be given to promote its useful ness as far as possible. With reference to the operations of the parent society, it is with sincere pleasure that your committee make the fol lowing brief extracts. During the past year they have issued the following publications :—" Prayer-books, Psalters, and books of homilies, 28,040 ; homilies, festival services, and articles of religion, 87,787 ; also collects, catechisms, bap tismal services, family prayers, service for the consecration of churches, and forms of prayer as used in both houses of parliament, 33,308 ;—making a total of 365,972 bound books, and 2,336,737 tracts." And who can tell the amount of good produced by them. If only one soul were enlightened, and instructed, and edi fied, by the perusal of the society's publications, it would amply repay them for all their exertions; but we may trust and believe that many have derived present and lasting benefit from them : for the accounts which are received by the parent society are most encouraging. They have also enlarged the number of their publications ; and, among these, they would refer to Bishop Jewell's Apo logy, which should be read by every person among the laity, as well as clergy, interested in the promotion of sound chris tian principles, and which may now be procured, at a very trifling expense, from this society. They would also mention, that the society has published, in raised Roman characters, the Morning and Evening Prayers, with the Litany and the Catechism of the Church of England, for the use of the blind. With regard to the funds of the society, it is with pleasure that they announce an increase of £lOO during the past year, which is a token of good, and a harbinger of increasing sup port ; still the liabilities are very, very heavy. They are now in arrears upwards of £2000; and the demands, from Ireland alone, (for books,) are so numerous, that were they to respond to them as they would wish to do, it would entirely engross the receipts of the society. Owing, therefore, to the slender support which is afforded, they are compelled, under present circumstances, though very reluctantly, to withhold that as sistance, which otherwise, if able, they would most gladly afford. They would, therefore, earnestly and affectionately appeal to their friends and the religious public, and to all who love and value our scriptural establishment, to come forward to assist them, by their contributions, in prosecuting the work in which they are so usefully and profitably engaged. With regard to the operations of this society the committee have to report as follows : The number of vessels visited were 2400, and the number of Prayer Books sold to the seamen 412, and 44 books of Family Prayer. 121 books of Select Homilies were given gratuitously. And your committee have reason to hope that the labours of their auxiliary are becoming more useful to the seamen, in calling their attention to the duty and privilege of prayer. On this point, they would record with thankful ness to God, that the number of commanders holding divine worship on board has increased, during the past year, from 46 to 60, and that the number of those who hold divine wor ship occasionally is 40. And although this number is small, when compared with those who neglect it, still they would hope that it will continue to spread, like the leaven hid in the meal, till the majority shall be on the side of those who wor ship the God of their salvation. They would also record with thankfulness the liberality of the Parent Society, in voting another grant of 50 Prayer Books, for the use of the Mariner's Church. Your com mittee desire likewise to mention, that they have engaged the services of Mr. Joseph Crisp, as assistant-secretary, who will be ready to give any information respecting the society, and by whom any contribution in aid of its funds will be thankfully received, as well as by the committee and visiting agent ; they would also mention, that the depository will henceforth be at Mr. Crisp's office, 38, Church-street, where all the publications of the society may be had, Mr. Perris having resigned that situation. With regard to the pecuniary resources of the auxiliary, the committee desire to make a very strong and urgent ap peal to all who are connected with the shipping, to the clergy, 111.1 LO Welt s.,,,,CEIVe CU.s. ry UV ILL c them the very strong claims which devolve upon them. Owing to the reduced price at which the books are sold, and to the grants which have been made, the auxiliary has en tailed a loss upon the Parent Society of upwards of £2OB since its formation ' • and the receipts in subscriptions and donations reported last year, amounted no more than £25 4s. 6d. In order to liquidate this as far as possible, they propose shortly to have a sermon' at St. Bride's. (The Rev. J. H. Stewart having kindly granted the use of his pulpit for that purpose. They trust that many of the clergy may be induced to do likewise, and that it may not be said that the Port of Liver pool, instead of being an auxiliary, as it ought to be, in every sense of the word, is a drag to the efforts of the Parent Soci ety, as far as their pecuniary resources are concerned. In conclusion, while they desire to thank God for what has been done, they would encourage all parties to arise, as one man, and to endeavour, as far as possible, to counteract the pernicious efforts of those who would subvert our Established Church, and who disseminate principles which are entirely repugnant to the word of God, and therefore subversive of true religion. The Rev. Mr. WCONREY came forward and proposed the first resolution :—" That the report now read be printed and circulated under the directions of the committee ; and that this meeting laments the want of a much larger annual income, not only to meet the present liabilities, which have arisen from its active operations, but to allow of a yet further extension of the society's labours, at home and abroad." — Mr. M'Conkey supported the resolution in a speech of great length and eloquence, of which we regret to say, from the lateness of the hour, we can but supply but a faint out line of the heads. He was not surprised at the comparative smallness of the attendance, for he believed the town was not generally aware of the benefits and objects of the society. He was not himself aware until he saw a report to-day that so much good could be done with such limited means. The society, in their anxiety for the spiritual welfare of seamen, not only disposed of the books amongst them, but visit ed their vessels. They had visited no fewer than 5000 ves sels within five years, and had disposed of about 3000 prayer books amongst the sailors. Their exertions abroad had been equally successful, and in Ireland they could not, unfortu nately, meet the demand. Even in the county of Kerry, in which was the great agitator, they had been successful in creating a desire to establish Protestant churches by dis seminating their books in the Irish language. They bad also procured prayer-books, in raised characters, for the use of the unfortunate blind. The accounts, from all parts, of the labours of the society were very satisfactory. The poor were especially benefitted. They understood the Homi lies better than other books ; for they told the truth in a plain but bold and uncompromising manner. It might be said by some why divide their society from the Bible Society. Why not unite them ? To this he replied that the Bible was the word of God, but the Homilies and Prayer book assisted to explain them. The seed of grace having been sown, they were as water to cherish it and produce the plant. The prayer-book was suited to meet the wants of all in their distresses. The poor man in his afflictions and aspirations was at a loss how to express himself in supplication or adoration. The Prayer Book gave him utterance. It was, indeed, calculated for all classes and all ages,—alike suitable for the aged grand father, and the child that was fondled by its mother. He then proceeded to draw an affecting picture of the influence of prayer on the poor invalid when recovering from illness, and the happiness which it conferred even to those on death-bed. The soc ety especially regard the religious welfare of emi grants. On this part of his subject the reverend gentleman pathetically described the lonely and toiling emigrant in the back woods of a distant land, and far from his home and his kindred, finding hope, consolation, and even happiness in prayer to Almighty God. He gave an equally affecting view of the poor sailor, who, in the hour of peril, in the raging tempest, found it a blessing beyond all price. It was a book, indeed, adapted to private prayer and to public prayer ; and it was a book of all others most scriptural and most edifying. He valued it the more that it contained a form of prayer ; for what could they substitute that would equal a tried and approved form of prayer,—a book containing, be sides the Gospels, the Epistles and the Psalms? The Li turgy was invaluable ; it was the mark of the separation from Popery. After alluding to the Bishops who had drawn it up, and who had died as martyrs to the cause of God, he con cluded a powerful appeal on behalf of the society, by moving the resolution. The motion was ably seconded by Mr. 111°011E. We regret that we cannot give the excellent addresses of the other speakers, several of whom furnished many inter esting particulars of the good effects of the society, and strongly besought public support in its behalf. The Rev. D. TATTERSALL moved, " That this meeting, feeling the importance of using every effort to promote the moral and religious improvement of seamen, commends the Prayer-Book and Homily Society to the increased support of the Christian Public, that its la bours in this part of its useful operations may be extended ; this meeting also commends it to the affectionate confidence and devout prayers of all true Christians, seeing that the Society has proved itself in its Home operations a blessing to Great Britain, and.in its Foreign operations a m ost valuable auxiliary to all Missionary Societies." The Rev. Mr. JOSEPH moved, ' ficers T h fe a r t t t h h e e e f n ol s l u o i w ng ing ye g a e r n , t w le i n t i h en pe b , e ve t r he to c e or d t t n o it t t h ee ei a r n n d um of - - ber :—" (Here the names were read.) Mr. HOWARD seconded the motion. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman ; a collection was made, and the meeting separated. LIVERPOOL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. — The members of the medical profession in Liverpool have formed themselves into an association, into which the Medical Society and Me dical Library are now merged, and the bead-quarters of which are henceforth fixed at the Medical Institution, Mount pleasant. The objects of the association are the advance ment of professional knowledge and the cultivation of friendly feelings amongst its members, both of which it is well calculated to effect. The following office bearers of the ordinary meetings have been elected for the present associa tion. Vice-presidents, Dr. Formby, Mr. Banner, Mr. Bickersteth, Dr. Freckleton. Secretary, Dr. Sutherland. Members of Committee, Dr. Carson, jun., Dr. Duncan, Dr. Vose. r 402 • '4P/I • THE SHIP " UNITED 071c6.:,„/ This fine new vessel, the largest in our port, and of which we gave a short notice on her arrival from America, is now in the South Graving Dock, near the Brunswick Dock, where she is undergoing a thorough strengthening, by inte rior iron fastenings from stem to stern, and is about to be coppered. As she has become an object of considerable interest amongst mercantile and nautical men, and is daily visited by many who are curious in the progressive improve ments of the age in the art of ship-building, a short account of her, as she now lies high and dry, may not be unaccepta ble. She was, it will be remembered, built at Quebec, by John Munn, Esq., au enterprising gentleman, who has turned out some of the finest vessels ever launched in British America. Amongst those who have recently visited her since she was docked, have been Messrs. John and Charles Wood, the celebrated shipwrights of Port Glasgow, who are now severally building two of three large steam-ships for Government, which are to compete with each other for supe riority in speed, in the carriage of the mails to our colonies in North America. These gentlemen, and other shipbuilders of this port, have expressed their high approval of the sub stantial manner in which the United Kingdom is put toge ther, and the choice quality of the materials. We may here recapitulate her dimensions : Length from the stem to the stern-post 214 feet. Do. from figure-head to the top of the taffrail 228 ~ Beam 36 „ Depth of hold 22 „ Height between the upper and lower-deck beams. 81 ~ Measurement . tons. The model of the United Kingdom has been much ad mired, both in her bottom and upper works. She is what may be called sharp without being lean, so that she cannot but sail very fast, and at the same time carry a large cargo. She has a flush deck, which, seen from either end, has the appearance of a street. Her bulwarks are neatly panelled, and she is pierced for fifteen guns on each side. She is painted to represent a lower tier of large ports, of the same number. She has an exceedingly well-carved billet head, which, together with the carving on the stern, is richly gilded. Her hold, now that she may be seen from stem to stern without the interruption of bulk's heads or other divisions, — the cabins not being yet constructed—presents a vast, we may say a surprising vacuity or space to the eye of the be holder. It forms one immense apartment, upwards of 200 feet in length, and of a three-story height. The materials of the United Kingdom are, as before inti mated, of the best quality that our American colonies can produce. Her keel and bottom timbers are of oak. Above the bilge they are of heckmatack, a very strong, tough, and much approved wood for ship building, of a light ash colour. Her bottom planking is of fine elm and heckmatack. Her ceilings are also, of elm. The beam-knees of the upper and lower deck beams are of , heckmatack. Her bilge planks are seven inches in thickness, her cieling six inches. The timbers, from the keel to the bends, are closely bedded together, so that they form a solid mass, and may be caulked, if that were deemed necessary. The quantity of iron knees and straps that, have been put into her, would load a small vessel. Some of the arms of these knees are 9 feet in length. They are of beaten iron, and about 31 inches thick, by 41 inches in breadth. They are placed diagonally, with a strap in parallel position be tween each, and reversed from the middle of the ship, towards the bow and stern. The straps reach below the floorings ; and these, as well as the lower arms of the knees, are strongly bolted through the bottom and sides, each from its diagonal position, admitted of bolts through several of the timbers. Separate moulds of wood had to be made for each, so that they might fit close to the " shape" of the ship. There are 17 knees under the lower beams, and an equal number of straps on each side. The upper deck beams and upper works are similarly strong there. Iron knees of still greater strength are fixed in the stern and how, binding together the massy wood-work at either extremity of the vessel. The beams are about 16 inches square. It is im possible to conceive a piece of stronger marine architecture ; and we presume the vessel will rate at Lloyd's amongst the finest British bottoms afloat. The " United Kingdom" is commanded by Captain M`Call. She comes consigned to Mr. Duncan Gibb, and is well worthy of inspection. Her future destination is not, we learn, yet fixed. On Sunday last, two very excellent sermons were preached at Skelmersdale Chapel, by the Rev. 'Jonathan Brooks, A.M., rector of Liverpool, for the Sunday schools estab lished there, when the handsome sum of £32 was, collected from a numerous and respectable congregation. • THEATRE RoYAL.—This evening, Mr. Buckstone, the popular author and entertaining actor takes his benefit : he deserves a good one. The pieces are in themselves attractive, independent of the inviting treat of Strauss' band. Next week, the Matweitsch family are to be with us. They were warmly patronised in London by the Queen, and the elite of fashion, at the " West End." The inhabitants of Welshpool have determined to testify • the high respect so universally felt for the noble house of Powis, by celebrating the coining of age of its heir apparent, the Viscount Clive, on the sth November next, in a manner befitting such an important occasion. The day will be ob served as a general Holiday, during which many demonstra tions of the enthusiasm of the people in the town and neigh bourhood will take place—amongst the rest a procession will be formed consisting of gentry, clergy, tradesmen and others, to wait upon Lord Clive, requesting him to attend at the laying of the foundation stone of the new church, after which the procession will return, accompanied by his lordship, to the site of the church for that purpose. A splendid marquee —capable of containing four hundred persons—will be pro vided, under which the poor of the - parish are to be regaled with plentiful supply of roast beef and plum pudding, with a liberal allowance of native cwrza da. immediately after the dinner, a series of amusements will be provided for the popu lace. At 5 o'clock, a public dinner will be given and after the usual loyal toasts have been drank, the president will give the health of Lord Viscount Clive—upon which a rocket will be discharged as a signal for salutes of cannon, and for the lighting of bonfires on the surrounding hills. The evening's amuse ments will close with a grand display of fireworks. On the following day, the poor female inhabitants of the parish will have a tea-party provided by the Countess of Powis, and on Thursday the rejoicings will terminate with a stag-hunt in the morning, and a grand public dinner in the evening. LORD SAN DON.—We have seen a le.tter from our respected representative, Lord Sandon, dated Pisa, Oct. 7, from which it appears that his lordship and his party have been induced to abandon the more distant and adventurous part of their expedition, and to confine themselves to the beaten track of Italy. They embarked at Marseilles o the day appointed, with every promise of a pleasant voyage; but the power of the engines. althouc , h professing . to-u. -see 4-- provect so unequal Co overcoming a not very, powerful head wind, that they were three days, instead of two, in reaching Leghorn. This did not encourage the expectation that the future performances of the vessel could: e much relied upon, in the longer voyages and more exposed' seas ‘VhiCh she had before her. The vessel was likewise found to be so offensive from bilge-water, that the cabins .Were altriost untenable. And lastly, the inconveniences of voyaging altogether seemed to suit too little with either his lordship's father or daughter to make it advisable to embark, at that season, on distant and uncertain enterprises. After some deliberation, there fore, and much reluctance, it was resolved to disembark, at Leghorn, and fall into the.high-road of Italian travellers for the winter. Ilis lordship expected that in about three weeks they should reach Naples, where they were to ruake a stay of two or three months.—Courier: The inhabitants of Chetton, Glazeley, and Deuxhill, have just presented their late curate, the Rev. Edward Bicker steth, with a piece of plate, as a token of their regard to him for his indefatigable zeal and great kindness while resident amongst them. "An opulent banker," says the Presse; "came unexpect edly a short time back into a fortune of nearly 10,000,000 f. He immediately cgave 800,000 f. to each of his five brothers and sisters, and has since offered his hand with the remaining 4,000,000 f. to a young orphan lady." - A DISTINCTION WITHOUT A. DIFFERENCE.—A disinte rested swain advertises in one of the morning papers for a wife, "with an income of not less than £2OO per annum, or fortune adequate thereto." CHARISTERISTICS OF WILKES.—Though of good man ners and even a winning address, his personal appearance was so revolting as to be hardly human. His high birth he could not boast ; for his father was a respectable distiller in Clerk enwell. Of fortune he had but a moderate share, and it was all spent before he became a candidate for popular favour ; and his circumstances were so notoriously desperate, that he lived for years on patriotic subscriptions. Those more ster ling qualities of strict moral conduct, regular religious habits, temperate and prudent behaviour, regular and industrious life—qualities which are generally required of public men, even if more superficial accomplishments should be dispensed with—he had absolutely nothing ; and the most flagrant vio lations of decency on moral as well as,religious matters were frequently committed, were known, were overlooked by the multitude, in the person of their favourite champion, wto had yet the address to turn against one of his antagonists, a clerical gentleman, some of those feelings of the English people in behalf of decorum, all of which his life was passed in openly violating. Of the light but very important accom plishments which fill so prominent a place in the patriotic character, great eloquence, and a strong and masculine style in writing, he had but little. . His compositions are more point : :Ilan powerful ; his wit shines far more than-his pas sions glow ; and as a speaker, when he did speak, which was but rarely, he showed indeed some address and much pre sence of mind, but no force, and produced, hardly any effect. Of his readiness, an anecdote is preserved - : which may be worth relating. Mr. Luttrell and he were standing on the Brentford hustings, when 'he 'asked his adversary privately, whether he thought there were more fools or rogues among the multitude of Wilkites spread out before them. I'll tell them what you say, and put an end to your said the Colo nel' but perceiving the threat gave Wilkes no alarm, he added, " Surely you don't mean to say you could stand here one hour after I did so?" " Why;" the answer was, " you would not be .alive one instant after." " How so ?"—" I should merely say it was a fabrication, and they would de stroy you in the twinkling of an eye."—Lord Brougham. - - - - CULTIVATION OF BOGS IN IRELAND.-Mr. Jonathan Burns, the assistant-commissioner of poor inquiry, states in his report—" Admitting the scarcity of food and labour, it must appear an extraordinary' anomaly, that so many thou sand acres of bog, inviting cultivation, and well adapted for it, should remain within view of• Thilipstown untouched, or, more correctly, not permitted to be touched, for many would gladly cultivate it if they were allowed to do so. The Bally common and Mount Lucas boo's, part of the immense bog of Allen, contain nearly 10,000 English acres, no part of which exceeds four miles from Philipstown; they consist of a fine black peat, dry in places, and admitt►ng of complete drain age, being at an elevation of from 200 to 300 feet above the level of the sea, with abundance of clay and limestone gravel at a convenient depth, and an even surface; the grand canal also passing through the bog, and communicating with the metropolis and other parts of Ireland. The cultivation of ' these bogs would give employment to all who want it, and would produce food and distribute comfort and happiness to thousands who are on the verge of starvation. If a company were to embark in these improvements, 1 have no doubt Of the profit answering their expectation, and remunerating them for judicious outlay under a long lease." This is the opinion of an intelligent Englishman, who cannot be suspected of partiality, and who had himself reclaimed a portion of bog in Chat Moss. Mr. John Power has also stated in his report on Talbotstown, county of Wicklow—" Here are thousands of acres capable of profitable cultivation, either by the capi talist, or by labourers' families for their own support. Hun dreds of those families would be found in the barony itself, ready to undertake such cultivation for their maintenance, even without any assistance whatever, and only upon the condition of having it for a certain number of years rent free, or at a small annual payment ; and many more would only require a very small aid at the commencement of their la bours. In the town of Baltinglass alone, the assistant-com missioners found hundreds of human beings in the most ab ject misery, crowded two or three families in a hovel, or gar ret of 10 or 12 feet square, without an inch of ground or any other resource than the uncertain and overstocked market for labour and the charity of the humane ; while the uncul tivated mountains overlook the town, but are forbidden fruit to the wretched inhabitants, who have even been taught to know, by fines and penalties, that the wild heath 'and furze grow to protect the game, and create amusement for the rich, and not to warm the shivering limbs of the poor, or to prepare their humble meal." It would be tedious to multi ply examples to prove what Mr. Arthur Young stated up wards of sixty years ago, and the bog commissioners have shown by the evidence of the most able engineers, and after the most searching. inquiry, and all subsequent experience has confirmed, that upon the waste lands in Ireland is to be practiced the most profitable husbandry in the kingdom. — British and Foreign Reriew. • If , ' • ..1177-" — 1 br-
