James Wright, incumbent. Warrington ; Booths This temperate discourse will commend itself to all en lightened members of our natiinal church, as affording a clear but scriptural statement of the claims which that church possesses on the sympathies and support of all her faithful adherents. The words on which the sermon is founded are, " My house is the house of prayer ;" and from these words Mr. Wright enlarges on the antiquity of the church, her apostolical character, and her protest against Rome; the character of her services, the conduct which becomes her members, and on several objections urged against her. As respects one feature in the cha racter of her services, we may make the following extract : Is there a time when the doors of the church are blic worship, that the word of God is May no the poor and the un iCts tt,a9d . .,haßLO,Vlß knd may we not hope of many such worshippers thrown or not read to the people wbo frequeqt her courts. ' that their faith standeth not in the wisdom of but in the power of God In the in the Lessons, in the Epistle and Gospel, those who assemble in the house of God, hear him teaching in his Holy Word. And for this honour done unto God in his Word,' saith an eminent prelate of our church, ' which doubtless has brought down, and will continue to bring down, a blessing upon her from Him who has declared, "Them that honour me I will honour ;" for this honour to God's Word, and for the provision made thereby to teach the people infallibly out of it the whole counsel of God, independently of the defects, and errors, and re are incident to the human teaching that they , I am sure, to be thankful, if we had else in her public services to rejoice in or to be kful for.' " serves whiel receive, we ought In reply to an objection frequently raised against the urch, the following is worthy of observation : " It is objected that doctrines similar to the worst doc trines of Rome have been lately taught by some of the clergy of the church. It is with unfeigned sorrow we ad mit the truth of this objection. Such doctrines have been broached, and though but partially, still to the perversion of a few enthusiastic spirits, to their wilful excision from the church, and to their union with Rome. Admitting the full force of the objection, it is yet but just towards the church, to ask, if it be fair or reasonable to judge the church by the unsound and authoritatively-condemned statements of a mere fractional part of her ministers ? They went out from us, but they were not of us.' Are we not to judge of the church, by her Articles, her Ho milies, her Formularies ? And if these, with one consent, condemn those dangerous opinions, then does the church condemn them. We never take the opinions of a few discontented and noisy individuals for the voice of the nation, neither should we take the condemned aninions of a few erratic divines for the voice of the church. The church has not changed, though a score or two of clergy men, out of a body of sixteen thousand-, have chaneci. Their present continuance among us, to our impatient minds, seems long; but what will be the brief period of this agitation, when looked back on at the distance of fifty years, and through the records of ecclesiastical history ? A dream, when one awaketh.' The church is still, as she has been, thank God, from the beginning, ' The pillar and the ground of the truth.' " The House of God : its beauty and its claims.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANIMAL AND VEGETA BLE LlFE.—That animal life is a distinct substance, and not an accident or quality of the body to which it is at tached, an argument may be drawn from a comparison of it with vegetable life, in the manner i■ which both cease to exist. If a tree or plant be drawn out of the earth, or cut from its roots, it does not immediately shew any signs of decay. Its branches retain their elasticity,itslettves their verdure, and its circulation proceeds unchecked for some time after the mortal shock is given. As its juices are exhaled, its parts wither and gradually decay, till its vital powers are totally extinguished, not by any determi nate crisis, but by the continued process of death (if 1 may so express myself) attending them. The dissolution of animal life is sudden. Its powers often continue to the last ; and the instant of its departure is generally marked by a violent and convulsive effort, not unlike the last parting flame of a taper, to which it is often compared. This effect is sometimes produced when the body has re mained for a time in a torpid state, and apparently .life less. It then revives for a moment, struggles, as if to break or to retain its h old, and is gone for ever, affording to the eye of the attentive observer a conviction, exceed ing all argument, that some real substance united to the body was at that instant forcibly wrenched and disunited from it.—Fraser's Magazine, ave vanished, and / ath of tt ntions Statement Ri varol Dr's own E )y - the doctrines of author writes ter ut nery usly, and combats in an unanswerabl veral of the leading doctrines of the Church c corroborates his positions by numerous anec . nes, to the truth of which we presume the Chevalier has :en a witness. The opening chapter we consider the :bt written in the book, and shows the author to be as ited with the genuine doctrines of Christianity as with the Romish perversions of those doctrines. He lected a number of facts of the most extraordinary re the impositions practised by the Popes _ of Rome to perpetuate the lying devices by which the deceived children of that apostate system are enslaved and ruined. We take the following as a specimen of the author's style, and as a graphic portraiture of the accommodating character of Popery : " The Romish religion calls itself one, but it has a sin gular variety of forms and aspects. For the lover of forms and outward religion, it has a gorgeous ritual. To the mere man of the world it shows a pope on the throne, cardinals and bishops in palaces, and all the splendour of earthly dominion. At the same time, for the self-deny ing, ascetic, mystical, and fanatical, it has all the forms of monastic life. To him who would scourge himself into godline.s, it offers a whip. For him who who would starve into spirituality, it provides the mendicant con vents of St. Francis. For the anchorite, it prepares the death-like silence of La Trappe. To the passionate young woman, it presents the raptures of St. Theresa, and the marriage of St. Catherine with the Saviour. For him who would not wish to leave the world, its luxuries, en joyments, and pleasures, it offers the house of the wealthy Jesuits. For the restless rilgrim, whose piety needs greater variety than the cell of the monk, it offers shrines, tombs, relics, and other holy places in christian lands, and above all, the holy sepulchre near Calvary. To the generous, sympathising enthusiast, it opens some frater nity or sisterhood of charity. To him who is inclined to take heaven by violence, it gives as much penance as he can desire ; and to the mass of men, who wish to recon cile the two worlds, it promises a purgatory, so far softened down by the masses of the priest and the prayer of the faithful, that its fires can be anticipated without overwhelming dread." lature, to pro Ind hierarchy SECOND EDIFION.

Willmer and Smith, conveyed to Liverpool by express, exclusively London Agent, Mr. W. H. Smith, of 192, Strand, London, the Bombay Moanly Times, of the 26th from the of August The dates brought. by this mail3are—Calcutta, 10th, Scinde, 19th, and Bombay, 26th of August. From China 26th of June only. The news from India is not of a remarkable' kind. Tranquillity prevailed in the interior. An army of ob servation, was, it is said, to be formed on the Sutledge and another in the neighbourhood of Gualior; both were td be ready in the month of October. The new Com mander-in-Chief, Sir Hugh Gough, would, it was stated, take the command of the former, and General Sir W. Nott of the latter. Lord Ellenborough,* whose presence in Calcutta had produced the best results there, was, it is reported, to come himself to the neighbourhood of Agra or Allahabad in October, in order to direct the settlement of the Gua lior Government. _ _ Scinde was tranquil and likely to continue so, unless it be disturbed by any measures ordered from London in consequence of the misrepresentations which some blind partisans sent to England from Bombay. Sir Charles Napier had thus fat regulated that conquest. The troops were healthy. Shere Mahommed had fled to the Beloochee mountains, from whence it was said he was contemplating an attack Iffea7 - a - pfulig mart ee tAittft;"alit h — reigtive l 60itit - Arneers, made an attempt to rnai.it , in his own terri',.ory against the usurpation of his uncle, UPtirad All, who has contrived by various crooked arts to i'htain the favour of the British and to aggrandize himself at the expense of all the other Ameers ; but Ali Mahommed has been routed by his uncle Mourad Ali, and he has also fled to the mountains, where he has joined the partisans of Shere Mahommed. It is said that after the rainy season the various hill tribes bordering:on the plains, now subject to the British and to Mourad Ali, will be induced to make inroads, and to try to plunder the settlers, but it does not seem expected that they will risk any battles for the ex pulsion of the British. General Simpson was coming round to Bombay in the Queen steamer in order to become second in command, and, perhaps,:successor to Sir Charles Napier, whose health, it is said, requires removal to the sea coast. A most extraordinary discovery was effected in July last, at Bombay, of a confederacy for plundering boats, robbing ships, and smuggling goods. This gang had existed for at least a quarter of a century in the most po pulous part of that town. They are also supposed to be connected with the pirates and murderers who even now so frequently commit the greatest atrocities within almost the hail of the police and other authorities of that impor tant naval station. No discovery was ever made of the gang until one of the accomplices gave a clue which led to the seizure of their books, and to the development of the whole system, which was organized in the most perfect manner. The police were on the traces of the malefactors, but it was feared that no conviction would take place, as most of the police agents had been bribed by the gang, and they were throwing every obstacle in the way of hav ing any of their accomplices punished. An extraordinary court martial had been held at Poona!). Two officers, a colonel and a major, had a dispute ; the colonel soon afterwards offered to make up the quarrel, but was told the whole" affair lad been sent up n a complaint to the Government. The complaint was referred to a court of inquiry, which decided after having heard evidence that there were faults on both sides. The Colonel then sent in a demand for a court-martial on the Major, on the ground of his having wilfully made a false and unfounded statement. The Commander-in-Chief refused the demand and censured the application as out of place, as the decision of the court of inquiry was then under his consideration. The Colonel reiterated the demand but no notice was taken of it. Two months afterwards the colonel had the proceed ings, with his own, charges and letters, privately printed, and sent to his friends. The pamphlet was shown to the Major, who demanded a court martial, by which, after the examination of the same witnesses, he was declared honourably acquitted. . This verdict, which was supposed to be contrary to the evidence, has been much canvassed. tioned n of y celv hospitality 1 at Tbomastown C It was his b a bar and wai- There was a daily ordinary, at which the guests might as semble if they did not dine in private.

THE FULLERS' TEAZLE.—The wild teazle (Dypsaeuv sylvestris) may now be seen in many of our hedges. Tni is a member of a very curious family of plants, and it is supposed that the fullers' teazle, so extensively used by clothiers, is only a variety of this plant. The name dip sacusis derived from dip . sao, to thirst, and is given on account of the upper leaves of the plant holding water. They do this to such a degree, that after a shower we have poured from the various leaves what would be a very ac ceptable supply of water to a thirsty traveller. The blos soms of the teazle are lilac-coloured, numerous, and col lected in a large conical head. The plant grows to the height of about four feet, and its large lance-shaped leaves are defended, as is the whole plant, with an abundance of prickles. The fullers' teazle is cultivated to a great extent in the West of England ; and it is the bristly scales of the flower heads that render the plant so valuable in dressing cloth. These bristles are just strong enough to raise the wool without tearing the cloth. The dressing of one piece of cloth is said to require from 1,500 to 2,000 teazles. When the common teazle is in blossom, it is a great orna ment to our hedgerows, from the delicate colour of the flowers, but soon after the blossoming is over, the recept acle becomes dry and brown, and remains long on the stalk in that condition.—Saturday Magazine. THE INDIANS AND QUEEN VICTORIA.—A deputation of chiefs and warriors from one of the tribes of Indians located on the lands at the bead of Lake Superior, was in New York, en route to the Court of Queen Victoria, to lay before their royal mistress certain grievances under which their people are labouring. The following account of them is from the Aew York Inquirer :—" These veri table and rugged sons of the forest, with the wives of their two principal chiefs, come fully equipped and appointed with all the paraphernalia of war. hunting, travelling wig wam, &c. The venerable patriarch at the head of the deputation is nearly 70 years of age, being the oldest war rior of his tribe ; and having fought upon the frontiers during the war between Great Britain and the United States, both his warriors and himself have enjoyed the highest favour and confidence of the British government. A difference having existed for some time between the Chippewas and the Upper Canadians, these warriors have been delegated to lay their grievances before the Queen in person. 'rheirlocality is at the head of Lake Superior, the most remote and isolated of any of the tribes of Ame rican Indians. It was a party of this tribe that accompa nied Captain Back in part of his celebrated expedition to the North Pole in search of his friend Captain Ross. Having never lived near the shore of the lake, every ob ject connected with civilisation is a matter of great curi osity to them. Their interpreter says that their astonish ment upon beholding a steam-boat for the first time was unbounded; and that in descending the locks of the Erie Canal, they went through a variety of heathen ceremo nials to propitiate the Evil Spirit, who they firmly be lieved had an agency in causing the waters to sink or rise over hills and valleys. What their wonder will be on witnessing the scenes of a play, or the wonderful exploits of the circus riders, remains to be known. They are, certainly, objects of great interest, and in fact the only Indians from that remote region of country that have ever been among us, or that in all probability ever will visit these parts again." DESCRIPTION OF ADEN.—Aden presents us with one of those phenomena which the giant " steam" is every day and everywhere achieving. Barren rocks, and a few yards of sandy shore, once tenanted only by the sea-gull and the crab, are now covered by cheerful domiciles, and animated by a small but busy and contented population, who live by unloading the fuel-ships, storing and protect ing the coal, and embarking it upon the steamers. Upon the shore of a little bay, formed by a small belt of rocks, stands a spacious and commodious building, of wood, wat tle, and dab, covered within and without by whitewash and duly matted and thatched, which serves the purposes of a hotel. Some enterprising Parsees from Bombay started and maintain this establishment, where the steam boat traveller will find an excellent and (all things consi dered) not expensive table and cellar, clean beds, white linen, and excellent attendance. Fire-wood and sweet water, being brought from a considerable distance, must necessarily he dear; but they do not constitute special items in the bill, unless you indulge in a fresh bath, when four shillings, or two rupees, are payable. Donkeys and their attendant vagabond owners are available by scores, and it is usual to hire one for a ride to the Arab town of Aden, four miles from the anchorage, and inspect the scene of many a bloody strife before our troops esta blished their present footing on the soil of the Ishrnaelite. We were regaled with excellent fish, including oysters, during our stay at Aden. But, indeed, there was no de ficiency of any of the necessaries of life. Every thing that reasonable men can desire is obtained in abundance from the interior ; and, judging from the specimens of grain and vegetables daily brought in on camels' backs, there can be no doubt of the richness and fertility of the soil of Arabia. It was singular to see every Arab in and about Aden unarmed. On the opposite coast, and on the snores of the Persian Gulf—nay, from Bussorah to Con stantinople, from Bushire to Tahreez—you rarely meet •• • • fai',4nd Witifeltr i nes with all three, and a lance and pistols into the bargain ; but here you would fancy that the Mos lem had ceased to war with his fellow, for if his hand be against every body, it is at Aden an empty hand ! This restriction upon the use of arms has, 1 suppose, originated with Captain Haines, the political agent, and is no doubt intended as a protection against treachery. There is not, however, much of that to be apprehended now. The peo ple are evidently more than reconciled to British autho rity, for they flock to Aden in numbers totally unknown during the government of the Sultan. From six hundred to a thousand souls inhabited the town before our conquest and occupation : at this moment there are not less than 20,000 living there !—From " Overland Trips in general, and a Trip in particular," in the Asiatic Journal.

A REFRACTORY BUTT.—In a dispute between Sir W. Lewes and Wilkes, the former said—" I'll be your butt no longer." " With all my heart," said Wilkes, " I never liked an empty one." If you wish to hear all the evil in people's character, wait until they get married. If you are desirous of learn ing all, and more than all their good qualities, have pa tience until they be dead. ANCIENT NAME FOR TAYLOR.—Snyde, in - the ancient Saxon language, signified to cut; snydee, a cutter, being our ancient name for a taylor, till we took the name tailleur from the French. King Louis PhiHinpe, being born on the Gth of October, 1773, has now entered his 71st year. His Majesty is the first of his race who has reached so advanced an age. On Friday week there was a grand fete at St. Cloud on the occasion of that anniversary. GOLD NOT A POISON.—M. Le Grand, from frequent experience of its effects in the treatment of disease by the employment of large doses of the salts of gold arrives at the conclusion that the received opinion that they are poisonous is altogether erroneous, and that it is quite as safe a remedy as iron. GARRICK'S COTEMPORARY.—There is only one person now living who performed on the same stage with Garrick —Byrne, the celebrated harlequin in his time, and father of Oscar Byrne. He is now in his eighty-second year, walks as uprightly as in his best days, and is in possession of all his faculties.—Dramatic and Musical Review. A PRETTY QUESTION.—" Why don't you get mar ried?" said a young lady the other day to a rather elderly bachelor friend. " I have been trying for the last ten years, to find some one who would be silly enough to have me" was the reply. " I guess you havn't been up our way" was the insinuating rejoinder. Watercresses will grow just as well on a damp shaded border in the kitchen garden, as along the brook side. and will be ten times safer for use from such a place than in the naturvl way, where they are always more or less sown over witla the eggs of insects, and other creatures frequent ing pools and running streams. Now is the best time to plant slips of them. • - - - • • DRESS OF O'CoNNELL.—The following is a sketch by the Times reporter of Mr, O'Connell's appearance at the dinner after the great meeting at Mullaghmast :—" Mr. O'Connell looked something like the Great Mogul, with his curious ' national cap' of purple and blue velvet and gold embroidery on his head, grey coat, aldermanic gold chain, and purple velvet gown with fur trimmings." Tint JESUIT COLLEGES.—This society was established by Ignatius Loyola, in 1536; they were expelled from France in 1591; from England in 1604; from Venice in 1606 ; from Paraguay in 1753 ; again from France in 1764 ; from Portugal in 1759, having made an attempt to assas sinate the king ; from Bohemia and Denmark in 1766 ; from Spain, Genoa, and Venice, in 1767; from Naples, Malta, and Parma, in 1768. The society was suppressed by the Pope, August 25, 1773; their establishment was closed in Spain, and property confiscated, in 1836, exactly three centuries after the first establishment of the order.

We ar have all the means of accomplishin human desire can embrace. But whatever vi And 1 am not one of those disposed to complain of or to stigmatise in any way the efforts of the states of this great union who have sought for funds abroad to carry on those enterprises and improvements which their sense of utility has projected ; on the contrary, I think that the circumstances of the times and the necessities of the case may justify, at least to a considerable extent, the engagements into which some of the states, especially the Western states, have entered abroad. Among those which have thus justifiably become involved is the state of Pennsylvania, the richest state in the union, in my judgment—perhaps I ought to except New York—but, taking her mineral, commercial, and agricultural facili ties into consideration, I don't know on the face of the earth, excepting England, a richer state than the state of Pennsylvania. ( 4 Take off her debt,' said Governor Seward.) My friend Governor Seward says, ' Take off her debt.' Her debt—her debt! What can be the debt of a state like Pennsylvania, that she should not be able to pay it—that she cannot pay it, if she will hut take from her pocket the money that she has in it ? Eng land's debt is ingrafted upon her very soil ; she is bound down to the very earth by it •, and it will affect England and Englishmen to the 50th generation. But the debt of Pennsylvania —the debt of Illinois—the debt of any state in this union—amounts not to a sixpence in com parison. (Cheers.) Let us be Americans; but let us avoid, as we despise, the character of an acknowledged insolvent community. (Cheers.) What importance is it what other nations say of us, or what they think of us, if they can nevertheless say, you don't pay your debts ? (Applause.) Now, gentlemen, I belong to Massachu setts; but if I belonged to a deeply indebted state, I'd work these ten fingers to their stumps—l'd hold plough, I'd drive plough, I'd do both, before it should be said of the state to which I belonged, that she did not pay her debts. (Loud cheers.) That's the true principle ; let us act upon it (cheers) ; let us go it' to its full extent. (Deafening applause.) If it costs us our comforts, let us sacrifice our comforts; if it costs us our farms, let us mortgage our farms. But don't let it be said by the proud capitalists of England. ' You don't pay your debts. You republican governments don't pay your debts.' Let us say to them, 'We will pay them ; we will pay them to the uttermost farthing.' That's my firm conviction of what we ought to do. That's my opinion, and water can't drown fire can't burn, it out of me. (Loud ap plause.) I 1 America owes a debt, let her pay it—let her pay it. (Deafening cheers.) What I have is ready for the sacrifice. What you have I know would be ready for the sacrifice. At any rate, and at any sacrifice, don't let it be said on the Exchanges of London or Paris, don't let it be said in any one of the proud monarchies of Europe—' America owes, and can't or won't pay.' God forbid ! (Cheers.) Let us pay—let us pay. (Long continued and loud applause.) Let us say to them, ' Produce your bond, and take your money, principal and interest. Add it all up, and take your money.' (Ap plause.) Let us say to them, We are not your slaves ; we are not paupers; we will not be your debtors ; we will pay ; produce your bond—here is your money—take it.' (This was followed by repeated and deafening cheers.) And until that is done, my friends, you and I cannot feel as if we could draw a free breath. I don't want to be indebted to the capitalists of Europe ; if we owe them anything, let them produce their bill. if my professional earnings are of any worth--if they are wanted—if my farm is wanted—if the conveniences of life for myself, for my wife and children, are wanted, so far as I am concerned, so far as America is concerned, come and take them. (Cheers.) That's the light ground to take, and let us take it. In the north and south, in the east and west, if there live any who are descended from the fathers of the revolution—any in whose veins runs a drop of their blood, and in whose hearts lives a particle of their proud spirit—let them rise up and say, that if we owe Europe, Europe shall be paid. (Loud cheers.) I wish to breathe the breath of an independent man. A citizen of a proud and honoured country, I abhor the idea that my daily happiness is to be marred by the consciousness that anything disgraceful hangs on the country or any part of it. Let us, gentlemen, be proud of our country ; but let us preserve for that coon 4ry the character of a just and debt-paying nation. Let it never be said among the nations of Europe that the United States of America—the nation that had its birth in the glorious scenes of '76—the country of Washington —the example and great type of all modern republics— cannot or will not pay its debts ! " THE CONSALL ESTATE, STAFFORDSHIRE The county of Stafford bath, from time immemorial, been famed for the preference which it possesses in in vestment, and this distinction will be especially seen by an enumeration of only a few of the leading points. Its proximity to the Potteries (from which it is removed be yond the possibility of . annoyance) increases the value of L- • tug source, mina reterence to the capital markets which are to be found within easy distances. The Trent and Mersey Canal forms the eastern boundary, and passes through a portion of the estate. The railway, belonging to the owner of the estate, and commencing at the canal, extends through the property more than three miles, communicating with the turnpike-road leading to the pot teries, and which are seven mi.es off. THE COALS. BELOW A VERY FINE SURFACE, AND WORKED BY A WATER LEVEL (saving the vast expense of steam), HAVE BEEN VALUED AT ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND POUNDS, will, in a very few years, approach the present value of the fee simple; and this, it should be observed, without any annoyance. The canal and railway are con nected with the coal-pits: this is probably the most en couraging feature of the property; there are already five ascertained seams, the quantity appears without end, and they are all of the best quality. The pits are contiguous to a branch of the Trent and Mersey Canal, giving great facility to the transport of coals to all parts, but more especially to Manchester, where coal is now so scarce and so much in request. There is almost a superabundance of lime, which a good agriculturist knows to be of infinite importance, inasmuch as it is the most effectual mode of dressing corn land ; and as it regards the meadow and pasture, where they have twice undergone this essential ordeal, it will not be difficult for ever afterwards to watch its proud superiority over all its neighbours. There is, besides, and in great abundance, gravel and stone (a por tion from one of the rocks assisted in the completion of Waterloo-bridge). The soil varies in the quality ; about two-thirds are admirably suited to dairy farms, the re mainder adapted to wheat, barley, and turnips. The re sidence, in its outward form, bath very little pretensions, and the order of its architecture is certainly somewhat equivocal ; originally it was intended to add four principal rooms, and a plan is prepared to accomplish this, thus consigning to his successor the pleasure of indulging and recreating in his own peculiar taste, in contradistinction to that of a more doubtful character. The offices, both within awl without, are as good as need to be desired. The pleasure-grounds and lawns are very judiciously laid out. The kitchen gardens, encompassed by lofty walls, are exceedingly productive, and the domain in front puts on a park-like appearance throughout. The distance from Buxton and Matlock is within easy reach of those who may need the beneficial influence of those waters. The estate is on the turnpike-road which leads from Birming ham, through Lichfield, Uttoxeter, Cheadle, Leek, and Macclesfield, to Manchester; and the Birmingham and Liverpool railway two hours' drive from Consall. It is tithe-free, the land-tax is redeemed, and it is extra-paro chial. The manor and manorial rights, over an estate which is fruitful in game of all descriptions, will be duly estimated. There is abundance of the best stone, which would materially reduce the outlay of any one intending to enlarge the residence. Possession of the house and all the land in hand (about 240 acres), and the woods, may be had immediately on ccuip'eting the purchase. The estate extends to 2,000 acres. The present rent is £4,000 a-year, and in seven years the coal s a l one w ill a dd f rom £lO,OOO to £20,000 a-year to the present income." DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN MANCHESTER.—On Friday last, a destructive fire occurred on the premises of Mr. Dickson, jeweller, Market-street Manchester. In about an hour from the commencement of the fire a pile of buildings, five stories high, and extending twenty-five yards down New Brown-street, with a frontage of about ten yards to Market-street, was lett a skeleton of smoul dering walls. Part of the premises were unoccupied. The sufferers by the loss will be Mr. Hanley, about £200; Mr. Dickson, jeweller, whose loss we have not learnt, but who saved some of his most valuable goods; Mr. Hind, a country manufacturer, whose rooms fronted to Swan lane ; Mr. Gilham, the hatter, whose loss (some of his stock being saved,) will probably not exceed £3OO or £4OO. Mr. Livesey, Church-street, who owns the buildings, in which the fire commenced, and which are insured in the Manchester Office for £lOOO, (probably about the value,) and Mr. Charles Lacy, who owns the rest of the building but who was insured in the Manchester Office for £2,800, about sufficient to cover the loss. The total loss by the fire is from £5,000 to £6,000. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—THREE LIVES LOST.— On Sunday week,Mrs. Anderson, wife of Mr. Walter An derson, farming steward to the Duke of Bedford, at Oak ley, accompanied by Mr. Thomas Inskip, formerly of Marston, Miss Inskip, his sister, and a young pupil of Mr. Anderson's, named Booker, went to Stevington church and attended morning service. The parishes of Oakley and Stevington are divided by the river Ouze which they crossed in a ferry boat kept for the accommo dation of the public. After the s ervice the party proceed e d towards Oakley, and on reaching the river they again got into the boat and ferried nearly across. The wind was very fresh, and the waves became so rough that they were unable to land ; they therefore determined upon returning to the Stevington side. Before, however, they could reach the bank again the water rushed into the boat at the stern, it went down and the unfortunate persons were thrown into the river. Before any assistance could be grea t t h e d i b ffi o e d u i e l tsy weres u c c e r e e d c e o d v c i r ri d r a e ancdh life ran for ass i stance.

The wind afterwards increased with great violence, and a heavy shower of hail and rain began to fait, and there being no pilot to be seen on the ration, all her sails were shortened, and she hove to about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, with her head to the southward, the weather at that time being very thick, and several high breakers near her. She, however, still made way, although very little, going at the early part of the evening not more than two knots an hour. At 8 o'clock the weather had become exceedingly misty, so much so that the ship's length could scarcely be discerned, and every precaution was adopted in order to prevent ac cident, a man being constantly at her mast bead, and the lead kept going. The captain, fearing from the violence of the gale that if he anchored on the spot she would be blown away from her moorings and every soul perish, de termined on keeping her under canvas, as from her posi tion he supposed she would make the Mount by the fol lowing morning. She kept going on very steadily till about midnight, when the captain went down below for a short time, the mate being at the mast-head, when he no sooner did so than he heard a distant shock from her striking forward, though in six fathoms, aft and hind. The captain instantly rushed on deck and put the helm a-port, which she answered, and the sails were set. The heavy serf, however, that was running kept constantly beating her on the shoal, and the crew expected every moment that she would be beaten to atoms, and they all meet with a watery grave. She soon got clear, and the captain decided on running for Monte Video, although the weather was exceedingly dark. Accordingly the pumps were kept going, and the carpenters set to work to repair the ship. Unfortunately, however, she had received too great an injury, as the sea was fast flowing into the hold. Notwithstanding this the captain still kept her on the tack, and it was only at 3 o'clock on the following morn ing when the water was level with the cabin decks, that the captain and crew, 13 in number, left the ill-fated ves sel in her boats. She soon went down in deep water, and the crew then steered for the above port, in doing which they encountered most tempestuous weather, the boat at one time being almost full of water and amidst breakers. At length, after the lapse of six hours, they succeeded in reaching Monte Video, greatly fatigued from excessive exertion and exposure to cold. At this port it appears the poor fellows were not treated by the Consul in that kind manner which their destitute case deserved. They have, however, safely arrived in England. OBSERVATIONS IN RESPECT OF THE ISLANDS OF RASAY AND RONA, IN SCOTLAND. " The islands of Rasa) , and Rona form part of the Wes tern Hebrides, situated in the county of Inverness, lying between the island of Skye and the mainland. Rona lies directly north of Rasay. RASAY " Rasay measures 12 miles. The breadth is 31 miles. The island measures 15.126 acres. At the north end is the island Tigh, separated only from Rasay at flood tide. At the west side is the island of Fladda ; it measures 1 mile and 2 furlongs. Rasay, including Tigh and Fladda, amounts to 15,598 acres 2 roods and 31 poles. The island is divided or let into 22 farms. Total arable in the island, at present under cultivation, 1,266 acres. The island, or a considerable portion, may almost be said to be now in its naturally wild state. The inhabitants having no lease, have had no inducement to improve their land, but there are great quantities of land of good soil capable of being easily improved, and lots of respectable yeomen ready to occupy it on lease. Many of the glens present as beau tiful and as fine a surface as can possibly be seen. The mansion-house is situated at the south end of the island; it is of modern date, and is large and commodious. A sketch is shown upon the plan. The front is all of dressed ashler, from the freestone rock on the estate at Hallaig. It is erected on the Doric order of architecture, in a chaste and beautiful style, embellished with a magnificent stone portico, opening to a spacious noble hall. A fine spring passes through the estate. In fact, the islands are cele brated for the delicious springs which abound there in all parts. The garden is a large square area of some acres in extent. Near the house, on the beach, is one of the cele brated romantic caves in which Prince Charles was con cealed. Behind the house, and extending in a northerly directiA'n to near Usgak, is a very fine plantation of elm and larch, extending to 15 acres. About the church there is a plantation of Scotch fir, beech, larch, and ash, ex tending to 26 acres. At Glaim and Castle, the natural plantation extends to 310 acres. Between Balchurn and Hallaig are several very fine lochs, abounding in black trout, and the whole island abounds largely in grouse and blackcock. There is plenty of fine blue limestone ; and no doubt, if search was made, COAL WOULD ALSO BE FOUND. Duncan, the highest hill in Rasay, presents from the summit one of the grandest panoramic views of Highland scenery in Scotland. On the east side the rocks are of freestone, towering above each other, rising in ma jestic height upwards of 3,000 feet above the sea, and in parts quite inaccessible, except to the wild goats which abound on the rock, and which is known as the " Goat Rock," and from which issues a gushing stream of the purest water, providing a refreshment of the most delight ful description to the eager sportsman. In the island of Fladda there is abundance of slate. There can be no doubt that this only requires an enterprising tenant to se cure an enormous income. " Rona lies nearly directly north of Rasay. The island is four miles in length, and one mile in breadth. There i s in several parts a large quantity of flow moss, that, with very little expense, could bP drained and brought under cultivation. There is also in the Big Harbour plenty of shell sand, nearly equal to good lime, which might be used to great advantage upon the ground—almost none is at present used. The island measures 2,414 acres, of which there is at present 156 acres under cultivation. The Big Harbour is a very safe and deep harbour. The island abounds in grouse and game of all sorts." AWFUL VISITATION.—One of those alarming and dreadful acts of God's providence—the fall of a thunder bolt—attended with fatal effects, happened at Cooper's row, Runcorn, on Thursday night week, about ten o'clock. The row consists of fourteen cottages, standing in a field near to the entrance of the town, and the electric fluid struck one near to the centre, entering the chimney, and coming out above the mantelpiece, passed. through the room-floor about a foot from the grate, and descended to the house-floor hearth, around which were sitting the unfortunate occupier's wife and two children, another being in the cradle. The tenant, Thomas Moores, who is a stone-mason, with a family of six children, had re tired to bed a few minutes previously, and three of the children were also in bed in an adjoining room ; but the wife, who had all her life been greatly afraid of thunder, was sitting up till the storm was over; and, dreadful to state, the electric fluid struck her, and instantly rendered her a frightfully mangled blazing corpse, dashing the chil dren against the opposite walls, and tearing up the flags of the floor in its downward progress. Poor Moores states that he was knocked out of bed down stairs, and on coming to his senses found his wife's clothes on fire, as well as several articles of clothing near the fire-place. The neighours fetched a surgeon, but the poor woman was dead ; the two children and the infant in the cradle recovered. The house is literally a heap of blackened ruins. SLAYERS AND PRIZE MONEY.—The " Acorn," 16, sloop, Captain Adams, lately arrived at Devonport. Du ring the time she has been on the coast of Africa she has made no less than nineteen captures of slave-vessels, and that in the short space of two years and a half. On her going out to the coast in the year 1841 she made a good beginning, by capturing the noted slave brigantine " Ga briel," on board of which vessel they found 530 slaves. They fell in with her between Rio Janeiro and St. He lena. The Anna was the next slaver she seized, in which they found 500 slaves, in the most miserable condition. They were huddled together so close as scarcely to leave breathing room, and the miasmatic and unwholesome va pours that rose from the dens were almost overpowering. In a place called a cabin in the after part of this vessel, measuring 16 feet by 9, were no less than 219 females packed. An officer of the Acorn at first supposed it in credible that so many human beings could be squeezed into so small a space ; and it was by formally counting the number that he satisfied himself of the fact. He said it put him in mind of the celebrated black-hole of Cal cutta. In the fore part of this vessel, reaching from the mainmast to the forecastle, 300 males were confined. This part was called the gaol. and was 50 feet long by 27 broad, the height being about 3 feet 3 inches. They were in a most impure and filthy state, and were forced from the lowness of the deck to keep in a sitting position, not hav ing room to lay themselves at length. Some of the other captures of the Acorn were equally important, and made with no less skill and resolution. The following revolting account of this demoniacal traffic in human flesh has been recommended to the attention of General Cass and the American slavery defenders :—" The Portuguese schooner of 41 tons, the Esperanza, has been condemned by the Mixed Commission Court, and broken up for sale, agree ably to our treaty with Portugal. Her instructions con tain a tale of horror, requiring no varnishing to render it a romance. She was commissioned for the coast of Africa, for the Mozambique, and with a crew of ten men, and provisions for fifteen days (!) was to take in 220 slaves, or if small bales, so the slaves are termed, 250 ! and easily packed in a space of (what ? gracious God !) the hold of a vessel of 44 tons, with a height of 32 inches—ay, inches! between the slave, or under, and upper deck. Manacles and chains were on board to the number of 900 for another cargo ; and with provisions for fifteen days was this fright ful freight—this cargo of human misery —to cross the wide Atlantic, to traverse, at a bird's flight, nearly 4,000 miles. Suppose calms, or adverse winds, or storms occurred— suppose the voyage was delayed for twenty days, to no port dare the slave-ship run ; from no vessel dare she fetid nir the ownb bitter filth,era agony, on without y, the ventilation, tortures of seek for assistance ; 25U hum an b e i ngs, w i t h out food or water, crammed into a space not hi g h enough to sleep when lying down in one positi on f or 20 days and nights, i with a putrid and foul a t mosp h ere, on a deck 32 inches f w nr t h m t e ceiling.
