FOREIGN COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE THE WEST INDIES The Royal Mail Steamer Dee arrived at Falmouth on the 19th, and proceeded to Southampton where she landed the mails. Her dates of leaving are—from Jamaica the 23rd, Hayti the 25th. and from St. Thomas's the 31st ult., and from Fayal the 13th instant. She has brought 25 passengers, and on freight 68,000 dollars, 300 ounces of silver, and 100 ounces of gold. The ex-President Boyer and suite are among the pas sengers by the Dee from Jamaica. The dates from Hayti by this arrival are to the 25th of August, at which time it was in a state of insurrection between the Negroes and Mulattoes ; the latter had driven the former to the woods. The Royal mail steamer Clyde had arrived at Grenada with mails from England' of the Ist of August. We have received files of the Jamaica Times and Royal Gazelle, to the 23rd ultimo. The following are extracts from the former paper :—The prevalence of dry and sultry weather, still tends to impede the growth of our staples for next year, as it has already considerably reduced the crop that is just over, and which, from all accounts, will not be found to exceed 40,000 hogsheads of Sugar. instead of 50,000 which was at one time expected. Our Coffee crops, we fear, will be equally deficient both in quality and quantity ; in this instance, (for in the Coffee lands the seasons have generally been favourable) arising solely from the withdrawal of labourers from the cultiva tion, and the carelessness and inattention of those who still condescend to work. (This paper advocates as a remedy for the evils of the colony "a substantial and ex tensive system of immigration," also a reduction of the presqnt high duty (of 245. per cwt.) on our colonial sugars.) . „ The parties interested in the excavations for the dis covery of Copper, we understand, have lately been very successful in their explorations. The Iron Steamer Anglesea, is now plying in the Har bour of Kingston ; alike to the satisfaction of passengers as to the advantage of the owners. Puseyism has again given a snort among us ; but whether it is merely the gasp of an expiring attempt, or the prelude of an awakening schism, we have not yet the means of guessing. The Military and Naval departments, in common with the Inhabitants generally, continue healthy, and the Col ony tranquil. St. Lucia has been visited by two shocks of earthquake since our last advices, but without experiencing any injury. The celebrated Marshal Bertrand has been with us. His object was an enquiry into the working of the British Emancipation Scheme ' • antecedent to any positive steps being taken by the French Government, in respect to their own Colonies. Our markets exhibit little or no variation from those which appeared in our paper of the 12th inst. . . The yellow fever had broken out in Cuba. Died, at Bagota, on the 15th July, Robert Stewart, Eeq H. B. M's Charge d'Affairs. ANTIGIIA.—\\ v e very much regret to learn that repeated shocks of earthquake continue to be experienced in An tigua. Much disappointment is evidently felt there at no reply having been received from the Secretary of State to the application that had been made for a loan to relieve them in their unparalleled distress.—Royal Gazette. GuAnALourE.—Governor Gouberyre, in his opening address to the Colonial Council of Guadaloupe, on the 14th June, thus eloquently acknowledged the aid that had bee❑ received in that island from foreign lands : " We shall never forget those zenerous strangers who vied with the brave inhabitants of Martinique, in the pleasure of relieving our distresses. Honour to the Danes, and to the Swedes, to the North Americans and to the Germans, who from the Caraccas to New York, have taken part in this great act of benevolence—honour to those English colonists, who making no distinction where fate had made none, saw no difference between a Frenchman and an Englishman, overwhelmed with the same calamity, and regarded the victims of the same disaster as members of the great human family —as children of the same God." SPAIN. The Moniteur of Tuesday publishes the following tele graphic despatch : . " Bayonne, September 18 . . " The government published on the 14th instant a ma nifesto in consequence of the late events at Barcelona. It explains the reasons which induced the government to re ject the adoption of a central junta, and invites all good Spaniards to lend their assistance, the Cortes being sum moned to decide upon all questions which interest the safety of the state." The Journal des Debats publishes a letter from Barce lona of the 11th instant, announcing " that Prim had been declared a traitor to his country, that Brigadier Ametler had been appointed by the junta a Major-General and Captain General of Catalonia, and that in a discourse pronounced by him, and in a manifesto published by the Commander of the Ist Free Battalion, Queen Christina, Generals Narvaez and Couch, and all the servile generals, were devoted to death. The French steam-boat Asmodee had arrived at Barce lona on the 11th instant, in time to protect the French in habitants, who only waited the reply of the junta to the reclamation of the French Consul for the injury inflicted on a seaman belonging to the Meleagre to embark. The funeral of the Cunt de Torrento was celebrated with considerable pomp on Tuesday, in the church of St. Philippe do Route. The whole of the interior of the edi. fice was hung with black, and the coffin was placed on an elevated catafalque, blazing with the light of hundreds of wax candles. M. Hernandez, the minister of Spain, and many distinguished Spaniards and French were in attend ance. Queen Christina had sent thither her carriage and household, and her Majesty herself was believed to be present in one of the side chapels, from which the public had been excluded. The Commerce states, that the death of Count Torteno has caused profound dismay amongst the politicians who surround Queen Christina, of whom he was the soul. The day he fell ill he was to have left Paris for Madrid ; the day previously he dinet!with the ex-Queen of Spain, and the preceding days he was occupied in conferences with several of the French ministers. The object of his mission to Spain was to accomplish a solution of the pre sent crisis in favour of the moderate party. The following is another telegraphic despatch : " Perpignan, Sept. 17. On the 14th the junta replied to the reclamation of the French Consul, respecting the seaman wounded in the Meleagre's boat when going for water, that the guard at the Seagate should be brought to trial, and that the Com mandant of the Atarazanas and of the Seagate had been prohibited from firing on any unarmed individual. Bayonne, Sept. 18. The elections commenced at Madrid on the 15th ; the opposition had a majority in seven bureaux out of twelve. but the total number of votes given on the first day is in favour of the parliamentary party. Madrid was tranquil on the 16th. According to the last accounts from the provinces all were quiet excepting Catalonia. The Madrid Gazelle of the 12th denies the report, cir culated for some days, that the government had demanded the assistance and intervention of France. " The mem bers of the Cabinet, it says, " hold too much to the con sequences of their principles, which they have never de nied nor ever will, and they are too well aware of what they owe to the dignity and honour of the nation to in dulge in such dreams, unworthy of every good Spaniard. The Political Chief had published a bando enjoining the citizens who had received arms from the government, to deliver them up within 48 hours. Other arms, the property of private parties, were also to be surrendered :. _ _ The Eco del Comercio states that NI. Olozaga would be superseded by M. Martinez de la Rosa in the functions of governor of the Queen, in the event of his leay.ng for Paris. Barcelona papers have been received to the 13th. The following decree had been published. The junta, in con sideration of the extraordinary merit, the illustrious vir tues, and the patriotism which have marked all the acts of the public life of Brigadier Narciso de Ametler, decrees as follows :—" Brigadier Narciso de Ametler is appointed Major-General of the national armies, and Captain-Gene ral of the principality of Catalonia. Brigadier Juan Prim is declared a traitor to the country, and is in consequence deprived of all his rank, honours, titles, and decorations." Other decrees had also been published, by which an ab solute discharge of all the sergeants, corporals, and pri vates of the levy of 1839, who should adhere to the pro romciamettlo in favour of the central junta within four days. An equal privilege was to be accorded, when the junta was fully organised to those of 1840 and 1811,—and those of 1842 to be disbanded within a year. M. M. Benavent Caratt, and Pons y Prato, commis sioners sent by the Grand Junta, had arrived at Barce lona, and were well received by the inhabitants. The Constitutional says :—" The intelligence and energy of these influential men must contribute to the success of the Central Junta." The Constitucional of the 13th announces that " the Supreme Junta of Barcelona has just learned that Sara gossa is about to second the pronunciamento of Barce lona. At this moment the banner of the Central Junta floats on the towers of the capital of Aragon. Madrid is in a similar disposition, and although Narvaez has occu pied the Post-office, and placed the troops under arms, he nevertheless considers his cause as lost. The garrison of Madrid manifests publicly their sympathy for the peo ple. In a short time all the provinces will be raised and will have taken arms to defend the device of the Central Junta. We regard the cause of liberty as saved." The Semaphore de Marseilles of the 16th instant an nounced the arrival of the Mercurio steamer from Barce lona, which she left on the 14th. Ametler had collected a' force of 4,000 men, with which he had marched out to tevolutionize the 'province. Prim had received some re inforcements. • The Augsburg Gazelle of the ]sth inst. states, that above 300 persons had been arrested at Warsaw, accused 'Of having formed part of a society composed of above 3,000 persons whose object was to effect a revolution in Poland. From Bologna they write, on the sth instant, that not withstanding the notification of the Legate, that the in surgents bands had been defeated and dispersed, armed parties had again shown themselves at Calderino, Savigno and Vergaso. It was said that the Government had of fered passports to the leaders to quit the country, an d an amnesty to their men ; but that those conditions had been rejected. At Home revolutionary proclamations had been distributed among the people. - r rj I Madame Konnertz, a young and pretty equestrian of the Cirque Olympique at Hamburg, was killed during the performances on the 28th ult. by her horse falling upon her. MosstoN MISSION TO RUSSIA.—There are strong symptoms of a serious dispute between the Mormons at Nauvoo, and the citizens of Illinois. Joe Smith has ap pointed Elders Adams and Hyde on a misssion to St. Petersbnrgh, to preach up Mormonism. A glorious light is about to be abed over Russia ! Private letters from Buenos Ayres, dated the 24th of July, state that things at Montevideo remain just as they were, with a slight improvement in business. Complaints are made in London and Liverpool of the irregular trans mission of letters by the packets. Duplicates of letters have already arrived in England, the originals of which, sent by the packets of the 28th of June and 21st of July, have not yet come to hand. The Commerce states, that the death of Count Torreno has caused profound dismay amongst the politicians who surround Queen Christina, of whom he was the soul. The day he fell ill he was to have left Paris for Madrid ; the day previously he dined with the ex-Queen of Spain, and the preceeding days he was occupied in conferences with several of the French ministers The object of his mission to Spain was to accomplish a solution of the present crisis in favour of the moderate party. A year and a half ago a young Armenian, named Arakin, got into a drunken scrape at Constantinople, and to es cape punishment he became, while under the influence of liquor, a Mahometan. When he became sober he re pented, made his escape in a ship, and returned to his former creed. He went back to Constantinople a few months ago, and being found, he was required on pain of death to embrace Nlahumetanism. This he resolutely refuse to do, and he was beheaded. The murder has excited great indignation, even in the minds of Turks. A DISCOVERY OF A LARGE RIVER IN AFRICA.— Lieutenant Christopher, of the Indian navy, who was de spatched from Aden upon a survey of the coast of Africa, by Captain Haines, has succeeded in discovering a splendid river to the northward of the river Jub, which he entered and traced for one hundred and thirty miles. As he ad vanced he found it increase in width and depth, and, ac cording to the report of the natives (a civil and obliging race) it continued to do so for the next four hundred miles. The river is described to be from two to three hundred feet wide, and sixty feet deep ; a clear mean dering stream, with banks in a high state of cultivation, yielding all kinds of grain, which are abundant and cheap. Lieutenant Christopher has named his discovery the " Haines River." DECEASE OF GENERAL JACKSON.—This truly great man is now numbered with the dead. He departed this life about the 22d of August, of hemorrhage of the lungs. Many were the friends and many the enemies that he had made during a long life devoted to the service of his country. Men will forget party, and unite in doing honour and paying just tribute, and awarding fame and glory, to the hero of New Orleans. Long he was opposed to " the wild Indian ;" and many have been the dangers in which he has been placed, both when in the tented field and when he filled the executive chair of the United States. His miraculous escape from assassination by a maniac must be fresh in the memory of all. He was re-elected to the presidency, and his name and his opinions are hailed by the democratic party with veneration and respect. — True American. By letters received at Devonport, from China, we learn that a trial of the rates of sailing between the Wolverine, 16, sloop, Commander W. S. Johnson, and the Wolf, 18, Commander C. 0. H aves, had been ordered by the Com mander-in-Chief, which had resulted much in favour of the Wolf. Some interest had been excited in consequence of these vessels having been constructed on the plans of the rival shipbuilders. The Wolf was built in 1826, by the architect of the Inconstant, while the Wolverine is considered the crack vessel of the present surveyor of the navy, the builder of the Pique, and was built ten years later (1836) than the Wolf. The Wolf is commanded by the son of her constructor. She is fitted with Captain Couch's patent solid safety channels, a report of the qua lities of which has been made to the Admiralty on their request, and is said to be so decidedly favourable as to establish their superiority over the old plan. DREADFUL SHIPWRECKS. THE PRINCESS AUGUSTA.—The Princess Augusta, a schooner, was lost on the 20th of last month, about twenty miles west of Cape Sable. It arose from being thrown on her beam ends, so much so as to completely baffle the utmost exertions of the crew towards righting her. Only one out of the crew was saved. She was from La Have, bound to Halifax. MIME AMELIA THOMPSON. — The loss of this valuable vessel, the property of Sir J. Pixie, Bart., happened about eighty miles east by south of Madras, on the morn ing of the 23d of May last. The circumstances attend ing her loss are, that she was suddenly overtaken by a heavy squall, which completely threw her on her beam ends. Part of the crew were saved, but the remaining portion (seven in number) met with a watery grave. THE :BRIG THOMAS RICKINSON.—The destruction of this vessel occurred about two o'clock on the morning of the 27th May last, on the reef of rocks off Ponte d'Oror, she being on her homeward passage from the Mauritius to London. It unfortunately took place in consequence of an error in the ship's chronometer, the commander, Captain Nudby, supposing from his calculation at the time he was at least sixty miles from the island. Directly she struck the boats were launched, and the officers and crew got into them, and succeeded in reaching the beach in perfect safety. Some anxiety was manifested for the pre servation of the mails from the Mauritius, which were on board, and It was thought that in the hurry of the moment they might have been forgotten. They were, however, safely landed, Captain Nudby having thought of them the very instant the brig struck. THE COURT. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO BELGIUM. In our last we furnished interesting particulars of the royal progress up to Saturday, (the 16th instant,) when her Majesty, Prince Albert, and their suite, took their departure by special railway train from the ancient city of Ghent for, and returned to, Ostend. The following day (Sunday) was spent in comparative retirement and repose. On Monday, her Majesty and Prince Albert visited Brussels, where they were royally entertained, and re ceived with enthusiastic feeling by the whole population, ss at the other cities. It was expected by tne citizens that her Majesty and Royal consort would shew them selves at the - balcony, and see some troops reviewed, shortly after their arrival, but in this they were disap pointed ; and it was rather too much to expect it imme diately after a long journey on dusty roads. The sequel will, however, show that the Royal party were not long in giving the people an even more favourable opportunity of gratifying their curiosity and testifying their respect. BRUSSELS, MONDAY NIGHT, Sept. IS.—lf any dis appointment were caused by the Queen of England not showing herself at the window of the Royal Palace and reviewing the troops assembled in the open space beneath, and by her non-appearance throwing a momentary gloom upon the general gratification, that disappointment was very quickly removed by her Majesty and her Royal host and hostess at four o'clock attending a concert given in the park in honour of her visit by the Harmonic Soeiety of the city. The conceit was given in the open air amidst the trees of the park, in a spot well adapted and occasion ally used for such purposes. The royal party were seated in an elegant and well-proportioned pavilion, open in front, so that the thousands of spectators assembled could get a perfect view of the Sovereigns and Prince Albert; and the musicians were in an open orchestra close to the pavilion. The performances were selections from the best masters, and were exceedingly well executed. The Grand Duchess Anna Fedorowna was with the royal party. During the whole of the performance their Majesties evinced great interest in the scene, will& must have been both novel and gratifying to our belox. ' Queen. Not withstanding the immediate propinquity 6. uany thousand persons to the royal auditors, there was no breach of de corum, no crowding or unseemly contention for the best places, and no vehemence of expression, either of delight or dissatisfaction, at the manner in which the concert was performed. The order, silence, and respect preserved, was most creditable to the audience, and might furnish a very good lesson for the subjects of Queen Victoria in their native country. At the conclusion of the concert, when the royal party left the pavilion, the cheering was unanimous and heart felt. The waving of handkerchiefs and the various de monstrations of the best feeling were to be seen and heard on all sides. The King, the two Queens, Prince Albert, and the suite, then drove through the city, followed by an immense crowd. They visited the Hotel de Ville and several other public institutions, and returned through the Montagne de Cours, about 6 o'clock, to the Palace, where the dinner was served up to their Majesties and their guests, consisting of 80 persons, at 7 o'clock. At a quarter past 10 o'clock, their Majesties and Prince Albert departed in an open carriage, attended by the Earls of Liverpool and Aberdeen, the officers of the household, the suite, &c., to the Chateau of Laecken, where Queen Victoria passed the night, and whence she will to-morrow depart for Antwerp by a special train. In the evening the whole city was brilliantly illumina ted ; at the entrances of the Park the gates were very tastefully lighted with variegated lamps, and scarcely a house of any size or pretensions was without a row of the lighted pots with which illuminations on the Continent are formed. ANTWERP, SEPT. 18, 4 o'cLocK.—Queen Victoria, in company with her illustrious relatives and husband, and attended by the suite by which the Royal party have been throughout accompanied, has just made what may be called her triumphal entry into this yet magnificent city. Her reception has been even more warm, more cordial... and more loyal, than the reception she has anywhere heretofore received, though everywhere the most distin guished honours have been paid. At the station of the railroad a large apartment, lined with scarlet cloth, and hung with draperies, was provided for the resting-room of the Sovereigns immediately on their alighting, and here they were received by the authorities. Their stay was but of a few minutes ; the Royal carriages, as at Brussels, drew up, and the procession of the cortege through the streets, already set forth in the programme of the burgo master, commenced. The Queen looked remarkably well; she was perfectly recovered from the fatigues of yester day, and enjoyed the scene with renovated spirits. Prince Albert also looked well. King Leopold and his Queen were in the best spirits, and during the passage towards the Palace pointed out to our Sovereign several of the remarkable features of this old and interesting city, the birthplace of Rubens and the scene of many interesting events in the history of a former age. The hurrahs of the spectators, both in the streets and at the windows of the houses, were enthusiastic. At the windows were the Rae of the female society of the city, and certainly a bet ter show of the beauties of Belgium could not have been got up. A squadron of the Lancers formed the escort—a fine body of men, well mounted, well equipped, and of a most martial appearance. The Chasseurs and their band were also in attendance, which, with the cavalry band, l en t t h e aid of warlike music to celebrate this triumph of peace. On reaching the Palace their Majesties and the Prince alighted and entered, King Leopold handing in our Queen, and Prince Albert performing that courtesy for the Queen of the Belgians. The rest of the party immediately fol lowed, amidst the cheering of the great concourse of per sons collected in front of the building; also Major-Gene ral Aaoul, commandant of the province, and Inspector- General of the Gendarmes; M. Teichman, Inspector of Bridges, &c. ; M. Visquain, and a deputation of the en gineers, &c. The guns discharged on the arrival of her Majesty and the Belgic Sovereigns were from the bridge of Laecken. A salvo of 100 rounds was fired. It is expected that her Majesty will leave Laecken to morrow for Antwerp, where great preparations have been made for her reception. It is supposed she will steam the Scheldt for England on Wednesday. " God save the Queen" has been played with so little intermission during the visit of the Queen and Prince Albert to this country, that it will henceforth be engrafted upon the national music of the Belgians. Amongst the display of banners it must not be forgotten to mention that from the tower of the Cathedral of St. Gudule, two immense flags, the English and the Belgian, were conspicuous above all the rest. The English Stand ard was also displayed at the Palace in company with the Belgic flag, and also at many other buildings, particularly at the houses of English residents. ANTWERP, SEPT. 19, 11 o'cLocx.—Her Majesty is not now expected till 1 or 2 o'clock to-day. In the mean time the most active preparations have been made to give the illustrious party as splendid and loyal a welcome into this city as into any other in the kingdom. The principal streets have been decorated with saplings and wreaths of oak leaves and flowers, linen fes toons, flags, armorial bearings, devices, triumphal arches, and all kinds of ornamental tablets, inscriptions, &c. Troops are falling into ranks, drums beating, and bugles sounding. The hotels are all filled with visiters, so that it is difficult here (at Brussels it was impossible) to get accommodation. There seems no end to the avidity of all classes to see and welcome Queen Victoria and her Royal Consort. Crowds are at the railroad station ; and opposite the Royal Palace, a stately edifice in the Flemish style, multitudes have been congregated for hours. The city is all in a state of excitement and joyous com motion, all business is at a stand-still, one great jubilee, in which all are partakers. The Burgomaster and the echevins have published a proclamation and sort of programme of what is to be done. Her Majesty slept at the palace of Lecken on Monday night, and on Tuesday passed on to Antwerp, where the royal cortege arrived about four o'clock in the afternoon, in perfect safety, where the royal party remained until the following day. On Wednesday, at noon, her Majesty and Prince Alber embarked at Antwerp, on board the royal yacht, on their return to England. The King and Queen of the Belgians accompanied her Majesty on board, and proceeded with her about twelve miles down the Scheldt, as far as the fortress of Lievekens Hoek, opposite Lillo, a small forti fied town on the right bank of the river. Here one of his Majesty's royal barges was in waiting to convey their Majesties on shore. At the landing place at Lievekens Hoek a very elegant little pavilion was erected for their Majesties' accommodation. The fortress of Lillo, and the gun-boats abreast of it, saluted her Majesty as she proceeded. As the royal yacht passed Batch, the first town on the frontier of Holland, the guns of the fort fired a royal salute. The Cyclops, Tartarus, and the other steamers forming the royal squadron, immediately hoisted the Dutch colours along with the English. When her Majesty arrived off Flushing, the forts salu ted, and a Dutch frigate lying in the roads manned her yards and fired a royal salute. The fort of Bruschoes, on the opposite side of the river, also saluted. The royal yacht then shaped her course towards the Margate Road, where she brought up for a few hours during the night, waiting the flood tide, there not being sufficient water to enable her to pass the flats. At daylight on Thursday morning she again got under weigh, at ten minutes to eleven o'clock Her Majesty and Prince Albert landed at Woolwich Dockyard, under a royal salute fired from the batteries and the different steamers which had accompained the royal yacht throueh out the voyage. Her Majesty was received by Sir F. Collier, C. 8., the captain-superintendent of the dockyard at Woolwich, and the other principal officers of the estab lishment. Her Majesty and Prince Albert afterwards entered an open carriage, and was escorted by a detachment of Hus sars. The lion. Miss Canning and another lady accom panied her Majesty and her august consort, the Earls of Aberdeen and Liverpool following the Queen in a carriage drawn by four horses to London. The Queen and Prince Albert reached Windsor within 25 hours of their departure from Antwerp. They almost immediately proceeded to Frogmore Park to visit the Duchess of Kent. There was no dinner party at the Cas tle, the attendance of the band was not required, but the Queen and Prince dined alone and spent the evening in quiet. The court is expected to proceed to Claremont, for two or three days, in the course of next week. The Queen has been pleased to declare Field-Marshal his Royal Highness Prince Albert, K.G., Captain-Gene ral and Colonel of the Artillery Company, in the room of kugustus Frederick Duke of Sussex, deceased. The whole suite of state apartments at St. James's Palace is about to undergo an extensive and thorough repair, cleansing, and decoration. It is expected that the apartments will not be again ready for royal use for severe! months, probably not until the early part of next spring. THE KING OF HANOVER.—A correspondent writes that his Majesty, while in conversation with a noble friend, expressed the determination, should divine Provi dence spare him health, to visit this country again next summer, and he proposed then to come earlier in the season.—Edinburgh Evening Post. THE QUEEN AT SEA.—Her Majesty's mode of life when on board is exceedingly simple. She rises early, breakfasts about eight, and dines at seven, taking lun cheon in the interval. She and the Prince almost in variably dine alone, this custom not having been broken through more than on two occasions during her excur sion. She spends a good part of the day on deck, some times walking along the deck, and more generally sitting at work with her ladies of honour. Her Majesty is rather fond of the latter occupation. She also devotes some time to music every day, a piano being part of the cabin furniture. She has been in most vigorous health through out the trip, and her spirits have been not merely good, but even high; and she evinces a most evident and un sophisticated enjoyment in the sea.—Morning Herald. PRESENT TO HER MAJESTY.—III commemoration of Her Majesty and Prince Albert's visit to the Thames Tun nel, on the 26th of July last, Mr. Langston, a carver and worker in ivory, who occupies some stalls in the tunnel, manufactured a pincushion, of what Mr. Langston terms " vegatable ivory," for presentation to Her Majesty. The pincushion, composed of rich crimson velvet, was in the form of a coronet, surmounted by the Royal Crown, both which and the stand, together with the work round the pincushion, were formed of ivory, and executed in the most delicate and beautiful manner. On one side of the pincushion was carved on the ivory a view of the entrance to the tunnel, and on the other the words, " A present from the Thames Tunnel," surrounded by wreaths. On being finished, the pincushion was enclosed in an elegant puce morocco case, lined with white satin, accompanied by a description of the vegetable, of the nuts of which this ivory is composed, printed in letters of gold on blue satin. On the pincushion being submitted to Her Majes ty, she was graciously pleased to express her approbation of the work, and her acceptance of it as a present. A few days afterwards Mr. Langston received a letter from Sir Henry \Vheatly, Her Majesty's private Secretary, re questing his attendance at Buckingham Palace, and on doing so, he was informed of Her Majesty's acceptance of the present, and likewise that it was her Majesty's corn. mand that the ingenious artist should receive a pecuniary acknowledgement as a mark of Her Majesty's estimation of the talent displayed. AD ingenious compositor employed in the Worcester Journal office has recently got up an exquisite piece of handiwork as a present to her Majesty Queen Adelaide, by whom it appears it has been most graciously received; it is a toilet cushion, 14 inches by 9 inches, covered with white satin, surrounded by two rows of bullion fringe, be neath a gold hellion rord, with snhi taccela at the corner, On each side is a tasteful and appropriate design, nicely arranged and beautifully printed, on one side in gold and the other in ink ; the following is a description : in the centre is the verse : " Oh, be thou blessed with all that Heaven can send, Long health, long life, long pleasure, thee attend; Let day improve on day, and year on year, Without a pain, a trouble, or a fear ; Till death, unfelt, thy tender frame destroy In some soft dream or ecstacy of joy. Peaceful sleep out the sabbath of the tomb, And wake to raptures in a life to come." This is surmounted by the Royal arms, and a fountain on each side ; a small scroll border contains the following appropriate aphorisms—" Qui dedit hoc hodie, eras si volet, auferet ;" " Deus major columns ;" " Virtute semper prtevalet sapientia ;" and " Fama semper vivet." The whole being surrounded by a magnificent border, in the corners of which the Royal crow❑ is placed, and in the centres the Prince of Wales' feathers. Great credit is due to the skilful workman (Mr. Humby) for the in genuity, taste, and (not the least) patience, which he has exercised in the construction of this unique specimen of typography.— IVorcester Journal. The marriage of Lord Dalmeny, M.P., eldest son of the Earl of lioseberry, and Lady Catherine Lucy Wilhel mina Stanhope, only daughter of Earl and Countess Stan hope, was solemnized on Wednesday last, at St. George's Church,. Hanover-square, the Rev. W. Repton perform ing the religious ceremony. LORD CARDIGAN.--The Mercantile Advertiser, a Dublin journal, has made the amende honorable to the Earl of Cardigan, for having, from misinformation, given currency to a report that his lordship bad improperly put a young officer under arrest. PARLIAMENTARY REPRESENTATION. — Br a treturn issued last week, showing the total number of Members of Parliament sent to the House of Commons. it appea r s that the numbers sent by England and Wales collec tively amount to 500, representing a total population of 15,906,741 ; Ireland 105 members, representirg a popu lation of 8,175,238 ; Scotland 53 members, representing a population of 2,620,184 —making a grand total of 658 members of parliament, representing a total population of 26,702,163. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD I R E ii A N D. THE REPEAL ASSOCIATION At the Repeal Association on Monday, Mr. Connor, a gentleman already known to the public by his anti landlord agitation at Mountmellick, for which, we be lieve, he suffered the penalty of imprisonment, gave notice of the following motion : That until - the natural rights of self-legislation in the possession of oar own parliament, and of a valuation and perpetuity of his farm to the tenant, be restored to us, we, Hepealers, shall pay no rent, county cess, rent charge, tithes, poor rate, or any other charge out of land." The proceedings that followed this somewhat startling notice re too instructive to be passed over without notice. Mr. Connor's indiscretion was at once checked by the chairman and Mr. John O'Connell. Upon consultation, however, we presume with his friends—probably his legal friends—around him, the latter, believing that his first repudiation of the injudicious disclosure had not been strong enough, renewed the subject in a formal notice, disclaiming the views of Mr. Connor. The resolutions proposed by Mr. O'Connell, jun., and adopted by the association, were the following : " That this association has heard with horror and in dignation the doctrines put forward by Mr. Connor re specting the payment of rents, county cess, tithes, poor rate, or rent charge, this day, in the attempt he made to put upon the books a notice plainly and grossly illegal, and directly tending to create and encourage criminal outrage and violence throughout the country. " That if anything can add to these feelings, it is the consideration of the time Mr. Connor has chosen for making such remark, a time when, in the county of Car low, where repeal has as yet made little progress, a violent and criminal opposition to rents has, according to the public prints, already begun to manifest itself. " That this association indignantly rejects, and refuses to insert on its books, or to allow to be ►or a moment en tertained, Mr. Connor's notice ; and that they declare that all who put forward such doctrines, and offer such advice to the people as is contained in that notice, are either madmen or traitors to the glorious cause of repeal, to the noble people who support that cause, and old Ire land." The first observation to be made upon these resolutions is, that they were an afterthought; this the report of the proceedings shows very plainly—a considerable interval of time having elapsed before this horror and indignation was felt; in fact, it was the result of deliberation. We more than suspect it was the result of remonstrance—of remonstrance perhaps from Mr. O'Hea, who publicly told the association that if they adopted such a notice they were every one guilty of rank sedition, and that the moment such a notice was placed on their books, his name should be expunged from their roll. Whatever passed, certain it is that Mr. John O'Connell's tone was a little changed between his first and second notice of the ob noxious movement of Mr. Connor. At first he expressed himself in the following remarkable words. After request ing Mr. Connor to withdraw his notice, he continued— " Although he (Mr. O'Connell) might agree with the learned gentleman upon many points, yet he considered such a resolution required much private consideration in committee, where it might probably be made conformable to the opinions of the members of the association, and could be brought forward, when revised and made legal, at a future day. (Hear.) Under those circumstances he hoped that the motion would be withdrawn." This is certainly not quite consistent with the outburst of horror and indignation which an hour afterwards was hypocritically indulged in. Mr. O'Connell announced the rent for the week to be £1462 17s. Bd.; after which the meeting adjourned until Wednesday. SLIGO UNION.-At the last Meeting of the Sligo Board of Guardians the propriety of closing the house was fully discussed, and the Board was almost unanimously of opinion that such a step should be very soon taken. Dr. M'Hale, in his address at the Loughrea meeting, coupled Espartero and the King of Hanover together, as " the ruling despot of one country, and the fallen tyrant of another." MIIRDER.—A party of four men, unknown, effected an entrance into the dwelling of John Spelman. at Bally cuslowen, in this county, and, having dragged him out of bed, beat him in a most savage manner, of which he died. —Limerick Chronicle. A NOBLE DEFAULTER.—At a meeting of the Nenagh poor law guardians, on Thursday, the collector of rates handed in a list of defaulters, when, amongst the number, the Right Hon. General Lord Bloomfield figured to the heavy amount of twopence halfPenny.—Dublin Freeman. THE IRISH PRELACY.—The following toast was given by the Rev. Mr. Maurice, Roman Catholic, at the Con nemara repeal meeting on Sunday last :—" The Lion of the fold of Judah, one of the great ornaments of the most splendid constellation in the tiara of the Supreme Pontiff." DISTEMPER AMONGST CATTLE.—Since the beginning of this year upwards of 4,000 head of cattle have fallen victims to the prevalent distemper in the borough and county of Limerick. Some large farmers lost from ten to fifty beasts by the fatal malady, and there is yet no cer tain cure to stop its ravages.—Limerick Chronicle.

He answered very significantly, (for he is a man of very few words,) " They will get equal laws, Sir."—Boston Pilot. Government, it is said, is about to appoint a commission of inquiry into the relations between landlord and tenant in Ireland. We will not say that such an inquiry if in stituted, will lead to no good ; but of this we feel assured, that the relations between landlord and tenant in any country must always adjudge themselves ; they cannot be made the subject of compulsory legislative regulation.— Great Northern Advertiser. MEETING OF THE JUDGES.—The first meeting of the Court of Arbitrators was held on Friday, at the Court. house, Blackrock ; Mr. Justice John O'Connell on the bench. One case was brought before his Lordship for adjudication, but the defendant not appearing, the record fell still-born to the ground. After this despatch of no business, his Lordship adjourned the court to Friday next. "We maw call suitors from the vasty deep. But will they come when we do call on them ?" Bad as the Saxon laws are, our simple Celts prefer them to the Brehon.—Dublin Mail. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AND Loss OF LIFE.—On Wed nesday a destructive fire took place in Lower Exchange street, Dublin, which quickly communicated with an ad joining building. During the fire an unfortunate woman, named Mary M`Dermott, was suffocated in the house where the fire broke out, and another female, named Mary Lamb, who leaped out of a window upon a feather bed, was so injured by the fall that little hopes are enter tained of her recovery. The house which was consumed in Exchange-street, was a Roman Catholic book deposi tory, and the loss sustained to the proprietors is very considerable. Mr. Field, the owner of the other house, although insured to a small amount, is stated to have lost £BOO. WALES. STATE OF SOUTH WALES. The Pontardulais-gate, which the military went to on Saturday night, was on Sunday night again destroyed, and the tollkeeper given notice that, if any more tolls were at tempted to be taken, they would pull the house down. In Llanelly all was quiet. Further Rebecca outrages have occurred in the neigh bourhood of Haverfordwest. The very night after the Wolfscastle meeting a large party of Rebeccaites destroyed the Fishguard and Parkymorfa turnpike gates, and cau tioned the toll-collectors not to levy more toll ; but they, not heeding Rebecca's warnings, collected the toll as usual on the Saturday. This exasperated the Rebeccaites, and notices were sent to them to remove their furniture, or the toll-houses would be destroyed on Monday night. On Monday night, true to their threat, about 400 persons visited the Fishguard toll-house, and completely de stroyed it. They then proceeded to Parkymorfa toll house, and instantly demolished it. After firing guns and frightening a great number of the inhabitants, they levelled a piece of wall belonging to the road surveyor, and dispersed about three o'clock. About 2.000 persons were assembled in the town looking on whilst this was going on, but no one interfered. Since the extraordinary verdict returned at the inquest on the old woman shot at Hendy-bride-gate, near Pontar dulais, the most grave apprehensions are entertained. It io oaid that tho jury durot 6 irc 130 OtllCl - ICIIII,I. 1.1.11, ZUIAI a system of terrorism prevails, that men dare nut render themselves obnoxious by even doing their duty. The ne cessity of putting the country under military law is seri ously discussed by many. The miners and colliers near Pontyberem have declared that they will resist the soldiers, and that they will under mine and blow up the road ; and they threaten, that as the Glamorganshire police laid in wait for them, they will have an ambush for the police some day. A weir near Cardigan has been destroyed. It appears that an alarm had been given that it was the intention of the Rebeccaites to pull down a small weir near a place called Velingigfran ; the marines consequently, about ten o'clock, marched down to protect that weir, and during their absence the Rebeccaites embraced the opportunity of demolishing Llechryd weir, in which they succeeded. Though the weir has stood for ages, and braved many a mountain flood, yet it was destroyed, it is said, in about fifteen minutes. On returning to Middleton Hall, (situate about 8 miles from Carmarthen), about half-past nine o'clock on Tues day night, from the quarter sessions held at Carmarthen, Mr. Adams saw a portion of his premises on fire. On hastening to the hall he found a wood near his house filled with armed men, his stacks were on fire, and the plugs had been pulled out of his fish-pond to let the water off. As may be imagined, his family were in the greatest ter ror, expecting every moment the house to be attacked and set fire to. As soon as he could he despatched an express to Carmarthen for troops to protect him. The mob con tinued around his premises, making all manner of noises, watching the fire, and preventing any attempt being made to extinguish it and remained there till two o'clock in the morning. Before they left, while they were vet in the wood, the messenger returned alone, with an answer from Col. Love, that the troops had been out all day, and could not come. Mr. Adams is understood to have taken the determina tion of at once with his family leaving the country. The family of Mr. Chambers, of ',lanelly, three of whose farms had the hayricks fired the other day, have already left for England, Mr. Chambers, jun. alone remaining. A strong body of the A division of metropolitan police, under Sergeant Howie, left by railway on Tuesday morn ing for South Wales. T U r)* "" " - `7 ta.a.J.Y.tti Uzi LI IN .8 IT C. PROMOTIONS.

We have much gratification in laying before our readers the subjoined address lately presented to the Lord Bishop of this diocese, from Blackburn, on the subject of Tracts rianism in the Church, and also his Lordship's reply thereto, which was received a few days since, by James Neville, Esq., of Bearwood, near Blackburn, through whom the address was forwarded to his Lordship. This docu ment (measuring upwards of twenty-five feet in length including the signatures) originated entirely with the Laity, and was supported by the signatures of all classes, including those of the highest respectability and influence in the town and neighbourhood. ADDRESS. " To the Riaht Reverend John Bird, Lord Bishop of Chester, We, the undersigned inhabitants of Blackburn and its immediate neighbourhood, beg leave to express our deep respect for your Lordship's character and office, and our warm attachment to that church, over a portion of which your Lordship has been called to preside. " Though members of the Laity exclusively, we cannot have seen, without the highest satisfaction and admiration, your Lordship's indefatigable and truly apostolical de votion to the arduous duties of your sacred office, and to the advancement of the spiritual welfare of all classes in your extensive and populous diocese. " It is, however, as members of that reformed church, —which, having been originally built upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Christ himself being the chief corner stone, and which, after having been cleared of the accumulated rubbish of ages, has, in later days, been cemented afresh with the blood of Cranmer and Hooper, Ridley and Latimer,—that we now consider our selves more especially called upon to come forward. " As members of that communion, we feel ourselves bound by the ties of duty and of gratitude to acknowledge our lasting obligations to your Lordship for your firm, consistent and uncompromising resistance to the system of those Tractarian Divines, who, true to their self assumed title of 'Ecclesiastical agitators,' declare their determination to intrude upon the peace of the con tented, and raise doubts in the minds of the uncomplaining ; vex the church with controversy, alarm serious men, and interrupt the established order of things; set the father against the son, and the mother against the daughter,' with the avowed object of ' unprolestantizing the national church.' by receding ' more and more from the principles of the English reformation.' " Adhering, as we hope we ever shall do, to the princi ples which led to that great event, we can feel neither sympathy nor respect for any of those pioneers of Popery, who are industriously labouring to undermine the walls which they have been appointed to defend, and who seem resolved to reduce our country again to that yoke of bondage which our forefathers were unable to endure. We rejoice, therefore, and are thankful that we have amongst us a faithful watchman, on one of the chief towers of our citadel, vigilant to detect, fearless to de nounce, and equally zealous to counteract the insidious devices of traitors within our gates, or the open and more honest assaults of the enemy without. " Deeply impressed with the momentous importance of the approaching crisis, and fully convinced that on the issue of the present struggle hangs the destiny of our church,' no less than the permanence of our civil and Christian freedom, we fervently hope and pray that that church may be permitted by Providence to enjoy, for many years to come, the benefit of your Lordship's pa ternal counsels apd example. " We remain with great respect, " Your Lordship's most obedient servants. " Blackburn, August, 1843." HIS LORDSHIP'S REPLY. " Durham, September 12, 1843 " Sir,—Having received through your hands the grati fying memorial addressed to me by the inhabitants of Blackburn and its vicinity, I take leave to offer you, in return, my sincere thanks for this unexpected token of favour. " Holding, as in the Providence of God I have been called to, a prominent station in the church to which vou are attached, I rejoice to find, that in the judgment of so many impartial persons 1 have been faithful to the prin ciples which it was my duty to maintain. I should be ungrateful if I did not feel myself encouraged and re warded by this testimony of their approbation. But allow me to say, I derive a satisfaction from this address which is far beyond any personal gratification. in • " I rejoice the proof it affords that the principles established by our Reformers are dear to so many hearts ; that so many in whose spiritual welfare I am concerned regard with just horror any departure from ' the truth as it is in Jesus ;' whether it be in the way of return to ex ploded errors, or under the insidious pretence of deve/ope ment of undiscovered mystery. You, who have sub scribed this address, desire no addition to ' the doctrine once delivered to the saints ;' you have found in the Holy Scriptures sufficiently and exclusively all things re quired to make wise unto salvation :' and these truths, embodied in the Articles and Liturgy of our Church, having received for yourselves, you resolve to hand down to your descendants without mutilation, add tion, or adul teration. 1 therein rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.' " Sincerely praying, that they, who have expressed themselves thus kindly towards their Bishop, may adorn by their lives and conversation the principles which they approve, and find them in their own experience to be in deed the power of God unto salvation,' " I remain, Sir, " With much respect, " "Y our faithful and obedient servant, " J. B. CHESTER. " James Neville, Esq." PRAYER FOR THE CHURCH MILITANT. (From the Belfast Chronicle.) To the following letter we think it right to direct the particular attention of the Clergy and Laity of the Esta blished Church, as being a clear, temperate, and forcible expression of opinion on a subject which is now attracting considerable attention in the United Diocese. We are not at liberty to make public the name of the writer, nor would its mention add anything to the intrinsic weight or power of the letter, replete as it is with valuable argu ment, affectionate remonstrance, and earnest anxiety for the church's prosperity; but this we may be permitted to say, that were it known it might perhaps have the happy effect of inducing those to pause, who are, not intention ally, but at the same time most certainly, weakening the hold of the church upon the attachment of her people, and obstructing her advance in that noble path which lies so straight and clear before her : TO THE LORD BISHOP OF DOWN AND CONNOR AND DROIIIORE My Lord,—Your letter to the lay members of the United Church of England and Ireland, in the diocese of Down and Connor and Dromore, respecting the use of the " Prayer for the Church Militant," has appeared in the public prints, and seems to have been copied from tlic Irish Ecclesiastical Journal, a publication with which I happen, perhaps unfortunately, not to be acquainted. Gladly would I address myself directly to your lord ship, but that you seem to give the preference to a more public channel in this case, as well as in that of the an swer to the memorial, not very long since presented to you by the laity. My lord, I regret that your valuable time should be occupied in addressing us on a subject of comparatively so little importance, when there is so much, more worthy of your pen, and deeply affecting us, allowed to remain unnoticed. " Among the subjects which have recently agitated the church," as you observe, this is one—perhaps the least — but still it is a movement in what I conceive to be a wrong direction. "Your lordship is most probably correct as to the law and history of this prayer, and the place it was intended to occupy in our service. This Ido not at pre sent wish to question, leaving it to other and abler hands ; but supposing it to be so, allow me to ask, cui bono ? Has any complaint been made to you by the laity respect ing it? Does your lordship seriously think that any in jury to the church's usefulness has been the result of the long non-usage of it? Does it appear to you that the order and decency of public worship will be better main tained by the interruption caused by so many, as must always be the case, leaving the church at the conclusion of this prayer; every pew disturbed—more than two thirds of the congregation retiring, unblessed by the mi nister? or that the solemnity of our beautiful communion service will be improved by the broken manner in which it is now proposed to administer it to those who remain behind ? Of the beauty and excellence of the prayer I believe you will find but one opinion among all the lay members of our church in this diocese, yet I have not heard a sin gle voice raised in favour of this change. You entreat us to " judge as wise men," and I would willingly do so. If it be intended to enhance the importance of the clergy, to exalt one part of God's temple to a greater degree of sanctity than others, and to lead the minds of the laity from high and holy subjects to the consideration of changes in dress and position, then I can understand the value of the proposed alteration ; but I cannot perceive the necessity of it for the purpose of decency and order in public worship, nor how it can tend to promote the kingdom and glory of the Redeemer by being made use ful to the souls of men. a ,Tcatah,hlsdlaetodAptreihgsirittcaye, ci rc u u c a 3 ; st i vo ‘ i r tfun p i i i i still appear (and to me, for one, it certainly wourt,aiice,o duri time lordshipr and inwdbieserb wishes ff atd e ae r e .i a n t t r c a i to our already sufficiently lengthened B ut se t and difficult times, when Y so serious a rrißOUStlitnn le9hteS!itidl°' o w, or indifference, o ef . r ‘c , ', , t c s o i tgnliiefntosgtrl disabilities—whenmtseuistbtyji importance; by a considerable portion of the United Churcn of _ OO land and Ireland towards the Church of Borne -- _ l n , went apparently begun since the removal of 1101:1 1 !':., t 4, b from what is passing around us, not only 1 0 go Wlfe r ut elsewhere in the United Kingdom, we have cb'd son to be on our guard, and to be watchful of saY,,,oot which may tend, however gently, in the directionbol_qo —and that something more is required to meet t l ; t 1, and wants, and to quiet the fears of the peep ' doi4 When I recollect the great good which was o° . c . , e d coa• im n n o og t s,it s au a dne y had , i lov ' y ' fi Y e did run in this diocese—the state of perfect good feeling "`i e l lord, I did rejoice fidence which existed between ministers and PF° c P ro ico appeal your lordship made to the laity for an in_ whi cb t church accommodation, and the noble manner T,bitb; ans N the ; beotimiccnichpuetp_:ileyidstrietiiroda liie,e,aogifroiti arhydg.;;:nrid(d,tsai,.b,ool. ii;: that appeal was responded to—and compare this o' l '4 Of has been passing during the last twelve months; 5:000s, present state of things, I can scarcely expres s ° Y :got; and regret at the change which has taken plac e •,,, 311 i rub ricalit their respecting another oe enscp phcoecayuf conformity." i di 1 y gaining these a novelties, or this reverting to old and 0 11 ! °1 0 ,(1 111 :1 nd ceremonies was sought to be introduced l 0 94, this was the effect of preaching the great andflip. 6 7 ', doctrines of Christianity—the Gospel of the O bo ut ce s/ $ l, fw o u.it t .t l o e, a insteadof with by chap and faithful men, whose labours wit bar il ' , s t i nh t i tii n sm g h s bae f s r r from a n 7 l ,eil,z, housebheaed been lost shhteo checked. their e e d , .b w r a clg h 4. t nube,is:id d,, , , .g.„,, ris, 4 , awaitmßtraaugttseitriefent shadow—who tho s e l continueowvlewthec l,oretho apfreEfeargti:Prosci itionijitie:o; En glan d rt , I: l_a aiu n g E dtb quite. the, and an a il n idttesa d lrasobog: w l :na e h ,ls(es o tgi riob:wafr:tieomeitaauhrtegiliaidi:eol—)onbter their thankfullordship,ara)a atrtoh forss te, nitet. r p :er„oss_i 0 : 11 i : es which we do not desire, and ° op et cannot see the utility ! not now give an uncertain sound boriag.'oo, s:ound of bell, book, or candle—of dressings, of ith l ee , w a ay, as the Word of Gog;adionridayfidr;rea:tnGscw,°:din—:aiee'rsv..ltlltl:tvcetifibe,ll;be'eufrilea;sjige:lihrici;l died,—then, martyrs of our pure and beloved chure forpolf d i d,—then, be assured, you will not, as P° with not, find us holding back. res pect, I have the honour to be, m lorl, Your obedient servant, I A vgA 7( Sept. 9, 1843 A ----------- the selif°ol The four Irish representative prelates fa r hop s of' 1844 are, the Archbishopof Dublin,the Kildare, and Cashel.
