Mr. Lyttelton, the whig-candidate, from the field, Messrs. Rawson, Prentice, and Acland, the emis saries of the anti-corn-law league, have, in imitation of the three Tooley-street tailors, been amusing the good people of Walsall, during the past week, by their electioneering antics, publishing manifestoes in the name and on behalf of " the MITR, OF MA DATE FOIL WALSALL lESTER, CANDI- BIRMINGHAM Ir. Forster, jun. havin 3e itineran' g declined to act as the puppet of itators, one of them, Mr. Archibald Pren tice, was sent off to Manchester to fetch a candidate from thence—every respectable man in Walsall, rejoicing in the name of liberal or radical, having in vain been solicited to come forward. During his absence, Mr. Acland (another .1 I • I .• -corn men), pu forth an address to the elec tors, as pub;ished in Saturday's Herald, informing them that, should his colleague, Mr. Prentice, not succeed in search of a candidate, he (Mr. Acland!), rather than that the cotton cause should suffer, would offer himself as their candidate;. and, in order to keep up the excitement, he forthwith com- menced a system of . speechifying in public streets, with the view of enlightening the people on the subject of " the bread tax," during which every clap-trap was had recourse to for the purpose of exciting a laugh or a cheer. This course of proceeding, accompanied with the most foul mouthed abuse of Mr. Gladstone and his conservative friends, continued up to Saturday morning, when Mr. Prentice returned from Manchester, bringing wilh him " John Ben jamin Smith, Esq., one of her Majesty's justices of the peace, chairman of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce,• and president of the national anti-corn-law league." A meeting was' forthwith called by the anti-corn law de puties, for halt-past one o'clock, for the purpose of intro ducing the last new candidate; labelled as above. The Dragon Inn, at which the deputies, with the candidate elect, have put up, for very prudent reasons, being in the centre of the market, a crowd was speedily collected, when Mr. Acland presented himself at the window, mounted on a stool, and informed the meeting that Dr. Bowring, who had been in vited to stand by " the league," had declined the honour, on the plea that he was engaged for another borough, and he therefore had the pleasure of introducing to their notice his worthy friend and employer, John B. Smith, Esq., president of the league, for whom he endeavoured to get up three cheers. Mr. Acland hoped the electors would not be influenced by a set of monopolists " to vote against their conscience," as he bad been informed that a certain tory banker in this town (alluding to•PMIr. Forster, the late conservative representative) had refused to discount a bill of £2O for a regular customer, because he would not promise to vote for the tory candidate. Mr. Forster, who fortunately was passing along the street at this moment, heard with no little indignation this bare faced and most unfounded assertion, and he immediately beg ged to be heard in reply. The moment Mr. Forster was re cognised by the crowd he was heartily cheered, and a way being instantly opened in front of his traducer, he asked Mr. Arland on whose authority he made the statement he had just heard him utter? Mr. Acland declined to give his authority! for which he was assailed with hisses and other marks of disapprobation by the crowd. Mr. Forster then observed, that as he was plainly referred to by Mr. Acland, he begged to assure the meeting, that there was no truth whatever in the statement ; and, further, that he had not, nor did he intend to exercise the slightest undue or unworthy influence v. ith any of the electors during the present contest. This manly declaration was received with loud applause, and Mr. Acland skulked out of the way, saying that he would make further inquiry into the circumstance, and would be more careful what statements he made for the fliture. Mr. Smith, of Manchester, afterwards came forward, and addressed the meeting, declaring that he would not leave Walsall until he had given every elector an opportunity of recording his vote. Mr. Smith proceeded to explain his principles and his views on the subject of the corn laws ; but it is unnecessary to follow him throughout the details of his political creed, which are in substance similar to those con tained in his published address to the electors which he issued yesterday evening. As a specimen of the means resorted to by Messrs. Acland and Co. to accomplish their object, they have given notice of their intention to have a Bible placed on a table in the market place, in which the people are to be shown the various passages of Scripture wherein, as he impiously asserts, the Word of God denounces all taxes on food and corn. In ad dition to this, he has publicly threatened to publish the names of those electors who may vote against Mr. Smith. Last night the new candidate and his anti : corn-law coad jutors again addressed the people from the front of the Green Dragon, the great drift of the speakers evidently being to convince the electors that there was to be " no mistake" with the present candidate, who himself repeatedly assured the crowd that he would poll to the last man. In the mean time there are rumours afloat that the London Reform Club, sorely vexed at the stupid interference of the anti-corn-law dele gates, who have marred their hopes of securing the return of a " liberal" representative, intend to try the forlorn hope of sending a ministerial candidate into the field in order to see what can be done in the way of compromise with the mar plots who have inilicted so much mischief on their cause. Mr. Gladstone has been nobly supported by the conserva tive electors of Walsall during his canvass. Intending to re join his family, from whom he was called rather suddenly, he will leave Walsall in a few days ; but his absence will be brief, as he is well aware that the opponents with whom he has to deal are not very scrupulous as to the means they use in turning circumstances to their advantage. The following address, which he published late last night, will be read with no small gratification by his conservative friends and well wishers throughout the country. Although there are many " turns " in the " tide " of electioneering affairs, there is, in the present contest, little doubt of his success. `! TO THE ELECTORS OF WALSALL " Gentlemen,--Having now completed my canvass, allow me to offer you my most grateful thanks for the uniform kind ness and civility which I have experienced from all, and the positive promises of support which I have received from a large majority of electorS, placing beyond doubt the certainty honest, representative of those loyal conservative principles; which I rejoice to find have taken suchileep root in your bo rough, and are rapidly extending themselves. " It has been my desire to wait personally on every elector. Should I in any case not have done so, I hope the omission will be attributed to an accident a l an d not to any other cause. " You are no doubt aware that hired itinerants have been sent here from Manchester to dictate to you the choice of a candidate ; they have commenced a system of agitation to tally regardless of the peace and comfort of the inhabitants; vainly hoping, by partial and gross misstatements, most un warranted quotations from the Holy Bible, and unprovoked vulgar personal abuse of myself, to induce you to break your promises, and thus promote the return of a candidate pledged to vote for the total repeal of the corn laws ; the effect of which, you may rest assured, whatever it may be elsewhere, cannot be otherwise than most ruinous to Wal sall, involved, as its interests are, in the prosperity of the home trade, of which the landed proprietors, and the nume rous classes employed in agriculture, form so great a pro portion. _ _ " I feel, however, the most perfect confidence that the good sense and right feeling of the electors and inhabitants of Walsall will insure a signal failure to the efforts of these dictators, in their attempt to create between landlord and tenant, employer and operative, and to poison the minds of the labouring classes of the community. " I shall remain in town fora few day's, for the purpose of again calling upon those electors whom I have not yet had the pleasure of finding at home ; when I shall rejoin my fa mily, and be ready, at the shortest notice, to repair here whenever my friends may deem it desirable ; and on the day of election shall proceed to the poll in the fullest assurance of their efforts being crowned with success.—l have the honour to be, gentlemen, your most obedient servant, " Walsall, Jan. 2, 1841."

Pritchard, has passed on to Sheerness from Plymouth, with men for the Monarch, 84, and Vernon, 50, at Sheerness. The Incon stant, 36, Captain Pring, has arrived at Plymouth from Cork, with volunteer seamen for general service. Ths Vindictive, a fine frigate, to mount upwards of 50 guns, is preparing here with every despatch for commission; and at Plymouth also are two more of the same class bringing forward, namely, the Portland, 50. and the America, 50. The greatest dis patch is used here in the equipment of the St. Vincent, 120, a three-decker of the largest class ; she is getting rigged, and otherwise fitting for sea. The pendant will be hoisted in about a month. The Vengeance, 84, is in the basin, rigged and masted, and only waiting orders for commission. The Driver, a new steam-ship recently launched here, is in dock preparing for immediate commission. She is intended for the Mediterranean. The Impregnable, 104, Captain Thomas Forrest, C. 8., and Belleisle, 78, Captain Toup Nicolas, are in Plymouth Sound, where they will complete their crews and sea stores. They will not proceed to the Mediterranean, however, for some time. The Indus, 84, Captain Sir James Stirling, and Tweed, 20, Commander Douglas, are alongside their respective hulks, fitting out. Both ships will be ready for sea about the 25th of January. The above are the only ships equipping here, but orders are daily looked for to com mission several more. The steam firigate Phoenix is rapidly refitting in the harbour, to return to the Mediterranean. There is no commander yet appointed to her. It is expected that she will proceed about the sth of January. The Apollo and Athol, troop-ships, are nearly ready for sea. They will go to Cork to transfer troops, the 42d regiment, thence to the lonian Islands. The Neptune, 120, is to be overhauled at this port for commission, if necessary.—Brighton Gazette. GUIANA BOUNDARY EXPEDITION.—An expedition has this week left this country for Guiana to explore and settle the boundaries of that important colony.—ln order to fully understand the objects of the expedition, it is necessary to state the position in which this country stands in reference to our possessions in South America. The present colony of British Guiana was conquered from the Dutch, and ceded to Great Britain by the treaty of Paris. This. country, there fore, is entitled to the same extent of territory as was pos sessed by the Dutch; and, as far as the Dutch outposts and ^ns extended, Greif Britain claims the right to ex •• There • d • t 7 nad never been any .reaty between Portugal, Spain, and Holland when in possession of this part of South America, in regard to their respective boundaries; and, as far as these powers are concerned, they are, therefore, undetermined. The Brazilian government, however, which is always grasping, has lately laid claim to a large , portion of the country el.-' by, and hitherto sup posed to belong to, Great Britain. They have encroached largely on the south-western boundary of the colony ; and so barefaced have been their proceedings, that they have even ventured to seize upon Pirara, a village in which En glish colobists were settled as early as 1811, and where, as late as the year 1838, a missionary of the established church founded a protestant mission. This village has recently been taken possession of by a detachment of the Brazilian militia, and the mission dispersed. A second attempt of the mis sionary to found a mission, further eastward, on the right bank of the Russunasie, met with a similar fate. The Bra zilians have also, for some time, pursued an atrocious sys tem of making predatory incursions into the country, where they surprise the Indian villages by night, set fire to 'KU. THI NDER STORM IN LONDON (From the Morning Herald of yesterday.) SPITALFIELDS CHURCH STRUCK WITH LIGHTNINC AND MUCH DAMAGED.—Yesterday morning at half-past o'clock, during the violence of the thunder-storm, a larg body of electric fluid struck the beautiful spire of Spitalfleld Church, about 20 feet from the top, and descending, did good deal of mischief. The shock was very considerablt and terrified many of the inhabitants of tbe neip,hbourbooc were found strewed about in different directions, some as fa as ten feet from the building. Had not the spire itself beet of immense strength, it must haie yielded to the shuck, anc been dashed to pieces. Fortunately no persons were passini at the me as the violence of the storm was such, that m personvould venture out, and thus no injury to human lift has taken place. The, large clock in front of the spire was Sc the injured by lightning that it instantly st o pp e d, and such i the damage done to the steeple that the Rev. Mr. Stone, tb rector, and the churchwardens, did not deem:it advisable t ring the bells, or open the porch or western entrances durini the day ; and those of the parishioners who attended divin . , service in the body of the church, which isnot at all injured, *ere admitted at the northern entrance in Church-street. The lightning during the storm, which at this period of the year iu the metropolis is almost unprecedented, was in the whole of this neighbourhood (Spitalfields) most awful, so that it is much feared that considerable damage has taken place. STREATHAM CHURCH STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.—TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF THE SPIRE. Yesterday morning, be tween six and seven o'clock, the inhabitants of Streatham, Surrey, were thrown into the utmost consternation and alarm, in consequence of discovering that the spire of the church was in flames, it having been struck by lightning. An alarm was instantly given, and the parish engines were soon on the spot : but there was not a sufficient quantity:of, hose to reach the flames. In the meantime a mountede x. press had been sent to London for the engines, and in an incredible short time, the one from the Waterloo-road station, under the direction of Hamilton, the engineer, was on the spot, and the own instantly got to work. In a very short time, the engines from Souihwark-bridge-road, Watling street, and Morgan's-lane, arrived, and with the united aid of the firemen (to whom the greatest praise is due), the clock and the fine peal of bells were saved from. destruction, but the spire is totally destroyed. The loss will fall on the Union fire-office. The curate and churchwardens were on the spot, and expressed the greatest apprehension for . the . safety of the bells. The ringers, as soon as they were allowed by „the firemen (the water wetting them through to the skin), rang a merry peal, to the great satisfaction of the, inhabitants. But for the timely arrival of the first London engine, the whole of the sacred edifice must have been destroyed. _ THUNDER-STORM.—Yesterday morning, shortly after four o'clock, the town of Greenwich and its vicinity were visited by one of the most awful thunder thunder-storms, accompa nied with continued lightning of the inost vivid appearance, ever remembered in this locality. It-was followed by a long continued and heavy fall of hail, which has done considera ble damage to the glass of the numerous market-gardens in the neighbourhood. It continued with unabated violence till six o'clock; and from that hour its fury was lessened until seven o'clock, when it entirely ceased. THE THUNDER-STORM ON THE RIVER.—(From a Cor respondent.)—The dreadful " war of elements" yesterday morning was awfully grand on the bosom of " Old Father Thames." Several vessels were coming'up the river with the flood tide at the time ; and the vivid flashes of lightning, illumining and darkening their sails, followed by the loud peals of thunder, rendered the scene not an imperfect repre sentation of a naval engagement. The crews of several ves sels lying off the Tower, on being aroused from their slum bers, were in the greatest state of trepidation imaginable— they actually believing that the garrison had commenced a cannonading upon them. The shipping on the river did not sustain any damage from the electric fluid. (Fronz our own Correspondent.) On Snnday morning, about five o'clock, the neighboUrhood of the metropolis was visited with the most awful storm of thunder and lightning which it has ever been our fortune to witness, and which we fear has been attended with most de structive effects. Our first intimation of its presence was by, being roused from sleep by a sudden glare of light within our bedroom, which was succeeded by a roll of thunder, so unlike anything which we have hitherto been accustomed to desig nate by that name, that at first and for some time during its countinuance we could scarcely brinz ourselves to believe that it was indeed that awful phenomenon which was sound ing upon our ear. It was not the sharp. crash distinctly re verbrated until it dies away in a low rumbling sound in the distance, and which Maturin has fancifully compared to "the trampling of mailed steeds upon a rocky pavement," but a continuous roar as of a thousand pieces of artillery, discharged so quickly in succession as to produce but one prolonged re port. For five minutes, at the least, we should imagine this terrific peal poured itself out over the multitudinous streets of the silent metropolis, mingled with the hissing sound of a shower of hail and sleet which dashed against the windows and streamed down the roofs of the houses, until another flash, more vivid if possible than the first, seemed for a mo ment to awe even the very elements into silence. We could imagine the impression produced by the sudden bursting of a Congreve rocket into a dungeon cell, whose occupant had languished in darkness until even the light of his gaoler's flickering lamp dazzled his enfeebled vision ; and the glare of that flash was more overpowering than could be produced by such an explosion ; whilst the darkness which succeeded was even denser than " dungeon darkness." Possibly the latter might be the result of a nervous affection, for we admit that for some seconds afterwards we were completely blinded, and the same effect was produced upon every individual with whom we have conversed upon the subject. The thunder which almost immediately followed, was nearer and louder than the first peal ; and as flash suc ceeded flash, and one report chased another, we were glad to close our eyes and to stop our ears, in the vain hope of shutting out their overpowering and frightful magnificence, [Our correspondent then adds some further particulars which will be found above.] 1ug.26,183 wanting to prove should he most happy to throw the efficacy ut - demonstrations and proofs already ventor.

The Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Fanny Howard, took her accustomed airing. In the after noon his Royal Highness Prince Albert drove her Majesty out in the park in a pony phaeton. The Queen was attended by Captain Seymour, Colonel Wemyss, and Mr. Rich. The following personages arrived at the castle this evening. on a visit to her Majesty :—The Earl and Countess of Clarendon, Sir George Grey, and Lord and Lady Holland. WINDSOR, SUNDAY.—Her Majesty and Prince Albert walked in the Slopes yesterday morning. His royal high ness afterwards shot over the Slopes and in the Home Park. In the afternoon, the Prince drove her Majesty out in a pony phaeton. This morning, the Queen and Prince Albert at tended Divine service in the private chapel of the castle.— Prayers were read by the Rev. Isaac Gossett ; and the ser mon, from the 10th chapter of Galatians, 60th verse, was preached by the Rev. Dr. Short. The Prince walked on thd Terrace this afternoon, attended by Colonel Bouverie. Lord and Lady Kinnaird bad the honour of dining with the court yesterday evening, and the Rev. Dr. Short will be the only addition to the royal dinner circle this evening. Her Majesty caused to be distributed amongst the poor of Windsor, on Friday and Saturday lsst, a good supply of meat, plum pudding, and coals. A violent thunder-storm, accompanied by hail and snow, was experienced at Windsor this morning, at a quarter before seven o'clock. LONDON CYMREIGYDDION SOCIETY The 45th anniversary of the above society was celebrated on the 23d December ult. Though the old " Fam Gym detthos" cannot boast of the splendour of some of her pro geny, yet the muster on that day was a sufficient proof that the lapse of time has not had an injurious effect upon her. At two o'clock the members and a considerable number of strangers, of both sexes, assembled at the Welsh Baptist Chapel, Moorfields, to hear the reports of the judges as to the prizes offered at the preceding anniversary. The judges are best known by their bardic names of Caervallwch, Twrog and Eryron Gwyllt Wallia. . - The business was commenced with a prayer by the Rev. Mr. Davies, of the borough of Southwark ; and William Morgan, Esq., (Surgeon Dentist) having b een ca ll e d to t h e chair, entered into an interesting detail of the objects of Cymreigyddion Societies, and then ordered the competitors for the prizes to the best Welsh readers, to retire into a room by themselves. They were then called, one at a time, to read before the meeting, and examined as to their knowledge of Welsh grammar. Mr. Wm. Owen obtained the best prize, and Mr. Owen Rowland (Awenydd Mon) was declared second best. Similar prizes were limited to the ages of 13 and 17. First prizes were obtained by Mary James and Frances Evans, and William Fall, a young Englisbman, was rewarded with a second best prize. Caervallwch then delivered an elaborate report upon the merits of the Essays received " ilpon the Evil Tendency of Chartism in the Principality:" Two possessed considerable merit. Alfred often wandered from his subject, and Gwladgarwt kept Closer to his text ; but the Welsh of both was imperfect Gwladgarwr poss sed the greater merit, but on account of the great labour of Alfred, it was recommended that the prize should be divided betwixt them. They proved to be Mr. Hugh Williams, of London, Gwladgrrwr) and Mr. H. Evans, of Cardiff (Alfred). Twrog delivered the opinion upon the odes received " To defects of four were pointed out a masterly style. The fifth, signed " lienadur," was a very superior performance ; but the adjudicators had not the slightest hesitation in awarding the prize (430 10s) to " Milwr, ' whose composition was not only worthy of the prize but of the subject. The judges had no doubt but that after its publication it would become the model for the younger bards of Cambria. The Secretary stated that " Milwr" had not sent his proper name. The meeting was then addressed by Mr. Dewi Watkins and Mr. Robert Parry, until it was time to adjourn to discuss the merits of the fare provided by mine host of the Old Parr's Head, in Aldersgate-street. After dinner the President, who had been supported by D. Lewis, Esq., M.D., Rev. P. Llewelyn, M.A., Thus. Edwards, Esq., (Caervallwch) Rev. D. Jones, 0. W. Thomas, Esq Wm.

The consequence is, that the national unfortunate natives, who look to Great Brit , in for_protection, I are kept in a state of constant alarm, and are tact, hourly exposed to be kidnapped, as many of their countrymen have already been. In these circumstances, and in pursuance of the reiterated application of the colonists, her majesty's go vernment has resolved to ascertain the exact boundaries of the colony, in order both to prevent future question with the Brazilian government, and to enable it to afford efficient pro tection to the natives , living within Our territories. The commissioners sc. ...6 to execute this duty is Mr. Robert H. Scbomburgh, a gentleman of great scientific acquirements, and well calculated for the employment, both by his previous pursuits and by his extensive knowledge of the colony, to the exploring of which he has already devoted several years of arduous exertion. Along with Mr. Schomburgh are asso ciated Mr. Glascott, R.N., as assistant surveyor, and Mr. Walton, an artist. The Baron de Humboldt, who takes a great interest in the subject, having communicated to his ma jesty the King of Prussia, the object of the expedition, and the region it was to traverse, the Prussian government applied to Lord John Russell for permission to appoint a gentleman to the expedition, who, at their•expense, would collect speci mens of natural history and plants for their institutions. The consent of the British government was at once given ; and Mr. Richard Schornburgh, a younger brother of the British commissioner, accordingly accompanies the expedition for that purpose.—Morning Chronicle. with the when taken the system, Dated Nov. 16, 1831 -This eminent surgeon Eye Snuff.

Passengers by his Coaches are not annoyed, on their journey to Wales, Shropshire. or else where, beyond Chester, by having first to take Packet to the Monk' Station, thence by Railway through deep cuttings and high embankments to the terminus at Chester Station, where they again have to take Omnibus or other conveyance to the City, ere they can proceed on their intended route. All these great inconveniences and delays are avoided by tra velling with any of thp undermentioned well-regulated Coaches, which it is Mr. Smith's determination to maintain on the road. R. S. challenges all his opponents to deny that his Esta blishment is superior, both in Coaches and Horses, to any other connected with Liverpool or Chester. R. S. has, ever since the opening of the Railway between Liverpool, Bir mingham, and London, kept on the road his " BRILLIANT" Coach—(see the list annexed) ; and further intimates, that, at the solicitation of several gentlemen and inhabitants of Birkenhead, Woodside, &c., he purposes to run one or more Coaches between Birkenhead and Chester, 'to prevent the inconvenience those persons now experience who dislike Railway travelling, in being obliged to cross over to Liver pool, and proceed by way of Eastham to Chester.

DISASTROUS FIRE AT HUDDERSFIELD We have, at the commencement of a new year, to record one of the most calamitous fires that has taken place in the township of Huddersfield for many years. On Friday night, Dec. the 25th, the inhabitants of Huddersfield, were, at a lit tle after eight o'clock, disturbed by an alarm that a factory was on fire, and the broad lurid glare which overspread the town too surely verified the report. On proceeding in the direc tion, we found the flames to proceed from the mill of Messrs. Roberts Brothers, situate at Bradley Spout, (a spring so called,) near New Town. a short distance from the parish church, on the north, and known as the Brick factory, from the materials with which it had been built. On coming within view of the conflagration, a few minutes after the alarm, a singularly awful spectacle was presented to us. The entire roof of slate had been blown off, and the interior of the building of the three upper floors presented one com plete body of flame, shooting up in columns to a vast height. So near to the time as a quarter of an hour before the discovery took place, several persons had passed the mill, some of whom remarked how very silent, dark, and quiet, this usual scene of bustle and business appeared at that moment. The flames were first discovered by a female residing in a row of cottages opposite the north side or front of the mill. In the upper floor, just below that of the attic. occupied by Messrs. Learoyd, soribblers, carders, &c., so uncommonly rapid was the progress of the flames, that be fore the alarm could reach the Pack Horse yard, where the Leeds and Yorkshire fire-engine is kept, (about three minutes' walk,) the interior of that floor and the one above it, were one mass of flames, the fire working downwards. At twenty minutes past eight, the engine above alluded to made its appearance, and although, from the very first, it was most evident that the building could not be saved, yet much valuable property in the lower rooms and casement, and the engine and its house might have been saved had the firemen been in a fit state to perform their duty. Unfortunately we have to regret such was not the case. Of the few who came with the engine, most, if not all of them, were in a state of nearly complete intoxication, havingbeenkeeping Christmas, from which cause, and the vast extent of the fire, they were bewildered and knew not how to act ; they either would not or could not work their own engine, nor would they suffer any other person to meddle with it. O n e gentleman, who endeavoured to screw on a hose to one of the pipes, had it taken from him by a fireman, who struck him a severe blow with it on the back, and much injured him ; in fact, they were shifting the engine from pillar to post, unknow ing where to take up a station ; and when they did attempt to play, it was against the bare walls, and not on the flames, At length the populace took possession of the engine and worked at it, as hard as possible, with the best judgment they possessed, directed frequently by several gentlemen from the town and neighbourhood, among whom Mr. Brook, and Mr. W. W. Batty e, and one or two other magistrates, were most conspicuous for their exertions. By their direc tions, and the able assistance of Messrs. Donson, Dalton, and Clough, of the Huddersfield-plac e , who were inde fatigable, some wool, cotton, and piece goods were saved, but with great personal risk, the flames ranging over their 'heads with the utmost fury. In the mean time expresses had been sent off in various directions for other engines, which arrived as quickly as the distance rendered possible; among these were those of Messrs. Shaw, of Honley, Messrs. Armitage Brothers, of Milnes Bridge, Mr. Brook , of Mel tham, and one or two more ; that of Me ssr s. Armitage was accompanied by their own men, and worked beautifully, and, indeed, all the others exerted themselves to the utmost, but the unceasing violence of the devouring element rendered their efforts fruitless. From the very plentiful supply of water from an adjacent reservbir, (had the Leeds and York shire firemen been in a state of sobriety) something more valuable might have been rescued. The loss is variously es timated, some accounts stating £B,OOO or £10,000; others extend it to £20,000 • at all events, the loss is very extensive, but we think from £13,000 to .£15,000 will prove the outside. The remaining walls are now in a most dangerous state, and should be taken down without a moment's delay, or fatal consequences may ensue. THURSDAY MORNING, DEC. 31.—Since the foregoing was written our worst fears have been frightfully realised. Last night the wind blew fresh from the north and north-west, settling in the north, and increasing to a gale. About four o'clock this morning, the upper part of the east end, or gable, gave way to the pressure of the wind, and, falling outwards, came down on the cottage of Joseph Bairstow, the engineer, breaking through the roof to the basement, clearing and de stroying all before it, killing Bairstow, his wife Mary, and daughter Zillah, of the respective ages of thirty-three, thirty-four, and two years. severely injuring two men lodgers, and a sister o f M rs . Bairstow. Four of poor •Bairstow's children most miraculously escaped, making a way through, a window ; h ow , we hate not yet ascertained. The bodies were got out as soon as possible, much crushed ; the head of the child nearly severed from the neck. The remains of these unfortunates were removed to the Fox and Grapes Inn, to await the coroner's inquest. They present a shocking spectacle. Mrs. B. was far advanced in pregnancy. After this misfortune had occurred, workmen were at last busily employed in clearing away the rubbish. At the time the end wall fell, the north or front wall also fell in with a tremendous crash. We learn that it is the intention of the inhabitants to call a public meeting to form a regular force, or lire brigade, who will have to attend exclusively to such duties. The present firemen are shoemakers, fancy weavers, &c., &c., quite incompetent to the onerous duties of firemen. —Leeds Intelligeneer.

Go IT TEA-POT. —A teetotaller at Barnsley, in stating his experience, said he had been a married man seven years, and had no children, the reason for which he assigned was, because he had spent that time in intemperance. He exclaim-, ed emphatically, did this Knight of the Tea-pot, it was from no other cause, for as soon as he became a teetotaller he was honoured with a child, in due time, and what was more astonishing, when it wa s on l y fifteen months old it walked from Barnsley to Worsbro' and back again, (six miles.)

It has been ascertained that upwards of 100 seamen, con nected with the ports of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Sunder land, unhappily perished in the awful storms which raged on the eastern coast in the month of November—many of them leaving wives and children in a miserable state of destitution. BIRMINGHAM.—The meeting of chartists at Holloway head, on Friday, to petition for the pardon of Frost, Wil- Rants, and Jones, was miserably attended. John Collins oc cupied the chair, and amongst the principal speakers was Mr. 0 Neil, a Scotch delegate. Petitions to the Queen having been adopted, the meeting broke up very peacably. WILD SWAN S .-- S everal flocks of these rare birds have lately been seen hovering in the neighbourhood of Tarbolton. On Saturday last, Mr. Meikle, farmer, in Clockstone, loaded his gun—having observed a string of six on the wing—with No. 4 shot, a charge not at all suited to such weighty game, he notwithstanding succeeded in winging one of the group. It weighed 1911b5., and measured from wing to wing 7 feet 81 inches—the length of the body being 4 feet 7 inches. — Ayr Observer. NEWFOT.T DOCK.—Although the works of this great un dertaking are at present suspended, in consequence of the failure of the contractor, we hear that there will be no diffi culty in the resuming of active proceedings as soon as the weather will permit. The dock company, warned by experi ence, has not prepaid the contractor, so that no loss will be sustained. It is expected that the lean of £15,000 agreed to be advanced by the commissioners of public works, will be paid to the treasurer in a few days.—Gloucester Chronicle. Extract of a letter, dated from on board the Princess Charlotte, Marmorice Bay, Dec. 13, 1840;—" I am sorry to inform you that the Zebra was driven on shore and totally wrecked, with the loss of three of her crew.

We have 12 sail of the line here, and a host of small craft." EXTRAORDINARY COMPETITION FOR M. LISZT'S PIANO FORTE.—A correspondent of Barnburgh, writes to the Debuts, that the competition for the instrument of this ex traordinary performer exceeded all hounds. The diletanti in that city were excited to the utmost pitch of admiration. Upwards of 600 persons contested for the valuable instru ment on which that virtuoso performed at his public con certs. It was put up to auction by its owner, when, after a very spirited bidding, it was knocked down at the enormous and almost incredible sum of 14,600 marks current, about £B4O. The fortunate purchaser is the keeper of an hotel, who has had it placed in the public room as an attraction for those who may honour him with their custom. SEVEN HORSES KILLED BY EATING WHEAT.—On Sun day last a considerable loss was sustained by Mr. Jonathan Infield, of West Fen, from a number of horses getting at some thrashed wheat. A person who had charge of the stock, discovered a hole in the place where the wheat was stowed, and observing the stock to loiter about the place, stopped the same with some wool. It appears that at night the horses removed the wool that they might get at the wheat, for twelve of them were violently ill in the morning, and seven died in The course of the same day, and the five remaining it is feared will share the same fate.—Standard. ZADKIEL THE SEER.—A correspondent requests us (says the Salopian Journal) to state the fact, that the birth of the Princess Royal was announced, by " Zadkiel's Astrological Almanack," (published last year, before the intended mar riage of the Queen was confidently spoken of,) and that even the very day, November 21, was named. 'This certainly is curious. The gentleman who writes under the name of Zadkiel is a naval Lieutenant, named Morrison, who resided in Liverpool for some years, and is a believer in, as well as professor of, the once popular science of astrology. He:is a man of high scientific attainments, and has successfully made electro-meteorology his study. For the benefit of the curious we may add that, in his Almanack for 1841, Zadkiel predicts that, about the Bth of next December, her Majesty will have another daughter. SUDDEN DEATH IN A CHURCH.-011 Sunday, the 20th instant, an awfully sudden death occurred in Needwood Church, in this county. It appears that the service had for several weeks been suspended, in consequence of the church undergoing repairs : but, on the day above mentioned, the re-opening was to take place, and the Rev. T. Gisborne, of Yoxall Lodge, had engaged to preach on the occasion, in the afternoon. The Rev: Humphrey Price, who is the clergyman of Needwood, had scarcely commenced reading prayers, when his clerk, an old man, named William Taft, aged 77, was observed by the congregation in attempting to rise from his seat, to be seized with convulsions. Assistance . was immediately rendered, and the poor old man was borne away, 13.4 before he could be removed from the church, he uttered a groan and breathed his last. Mr. Gisbourne and Mr. Price were deeply affected when they were informed, at the close of the service, that the old man had gone to that " bourne whence no traveller returns."—Staffordshire Gazette. EXTENSIVE BANK ROBBERY.—A young man, named John .1-laslock, a clerk in the employ of Messrs. Whitworth and Son, bankers, Northampton, absconded on Saturday last, from his employers, stealing and taking with him 800 sovereigns, four guineas, and 6s. worth o f f our p enny p i eces , and the following day being Sunday, the robbery was not dis covered until the commencement of business on Monday morning, when, on arrival of the cashier at the bank, the cash was missing, and the absence of Haslock at once threw suspicion upon him as being the perpetrator of the robbery. An inquiry was instantly set on foot, the result of which was, that he (Haslock) had walked from Northampton to the Bisworth railway station, about midnight on Saturday, in.company with his brother, from which he started for Lon don, at half-past two the following,morning (Sunday,) by the mail-train. Haslock is described as being about 20 years of age, about five feet six inches high, rather dark, florid com plexion, long face. very long dark hair, which he wears over the sides of his face, and has a down-cast look when walking. His brother, Stephen Haslock, is about 25 years of age, and is very much like him in appearance. A reward of £lOO is offered for their apprehension. YORK MINSTER.—A very large-sized clock for this. C athedral has just beers made by Moor and Sons, the cele brated clock-makers in Clerkenwell. It strikes the hours on a bell of 53 cwt., and the quarters on two other bells. The works in the frames are above four feet six inches high, and seven feet in length . ; the whole of the wheels are made of gun metal and beautifully cut, the two larger wheels for the quarters and striking are both of equal size, two feet diameter and one inch and a half thick : the rest of the wheels seem in good proportion. It has a compass dial escapement, with hardened steel studs in the escapement wheel; the arms of the pallets are made with adjusting screws, in order to set the escapement to the greatest nicety. The pendulum is very ingeniously suspended, and weighs 200 lbs, it makes one vibration in two seconds. The hammer that strikes the large bell weighs 75 lbs. ; and the clock goes eight days with once winding. The whole of the weight used to keep the clock going is 25 lbs. • the escapement holes are made of bell m e t a l, from the old bells that were destroyed in the late fire ; the present clock is made with discharging apparatus for a set of chimes to play seven tunes, which, we hope, will eventually be added.—Leeds Intelligerseer. THE MANCHESTER AND LEEDS RAILWAY.—This rail way was opened throughout (with the exception of the Sum mit Tunnel) on Thursday last, the 31st ult. ; and we are glad to learn, from two reports of th e eng i neers , d a t e d th e 21 s t and 29th ult„ that the failure of the inverted arch, in a por tion of the tunnel, is likely to prove less serious than was at first apprehended, both as regards the expense of repairing it, and the time that will be lost thereby. It is now expected that the defective work will b e finished early in the month of February, and that the cost will not exceed £3OOO. The opening of the line has strikingly verified the anticipations of the directors. It appears on reference to their report of the 17th September, 1838, it was therein stated that " during the present year the entire line may be expected to be in the course of execution, and it is hoped should nothing unfore seen occur, will be opened to the public within tiles year 1840." Considering how difficult it is to state so long before hand, the probable period when works of only ordinary magnitude may, be completed, this affords an extraordinary instance of the literal fufilment of the expectations held out by the direc- Ws to their proprietors ; and it appears the more remarkable, when the gigantic eharacter of the works in question is taken into account,—the difficulties in which were pronounced by many to be insuperable.—Manchester Guardian. Clemons CASE.—On Saturday last a disgraceful case came before the mayor and magistrates of this city. Two ladies were waiting with apparent anxiety till the magistrates were at leisure to hear them. One was a neat little woman, about ,30, who gave her name Turney ; the other was younger, ap parently well educated, and in more splendid attire, her face covered with a black lace veil, through which we observed her occasionally bathed in tears : her name we could not learn. When the case was called on, Mrs. Turney said her husband kept the Ram, in New Lalienham, where she had, on the previous night, been robbed of about £6, under the following circumstances :--The other lady, who was then before them, had been in the habit of visiting her house, and had occasionally met there a gentleman who lives in the Close. He sometimes lodged there, and on these occa sions occupied d room adjoining to that in which she and her husband slept. He was there on Thursday about twelve o'clock, and saw the witness put some money into the bureau, in her own room. During that afternoon this lady came, and was with him half an hour, after which she went away. The gentleman slept there, and did not get up till one or two o'clock on Friday. As soon as he was up, the witness went up stairs, and sound that her bureau had been broken open, and five sovereigns and two half sovereigns had disappeared. No one but the gentleman had been there, and she did not know what had become of him ; but the lady corning again to ask for him, she detained her. The lady declared she did not know where he was, but, after some hesitation; she said his name was Clifford, that he was about twenty years of age, and, as he told her, about twelve months since had been married to a Miss , of this city (Norwich). She confessed she had been in the habit of travelling with him ; but, having been herself married on the previous Monday, she did not wish her husband to know of the acquaintance. She had been visiting with a friend at Norwich, when Mr. Clifford came with a bottle of wine in his pocket, and sent the servant up to say he wished to speak with her; but her friend insisted that she should not see him, and he went away, taking the wine with him. She arranged, however, to see him at Airs. Turney's, at the time mentioned ; but she assured the magistrates she did not know where he then was, and she hoped she needed hardly say she knew nothing of Mrs. Turney's money. Mrs. Turney said she did not charge the lady with the offence`; she only thought she could tell her where the gentleman was. The lady said she strongly suspected where he was, and would lend Mrs. Turney and the officers any assistance in finding him out, and would go with them herself, for she wanted to see him, having lent him £5 of her own money before she was married, of which her husband knew nothing, and which money should have been paid the day before. It was for that that she wanted him at Mrs. Turney's on Friday evening. The magistrates wished to know who she was ; it was a most disgraceful business for a woman of her appearance. The lady said that her father was a farmer in West Norfolk, but we heard no name. She said she had paid this £5 for Mr. Clifford, because he was threatened with law proceedings in a_place where' they were, for dishonouring a bill that had been given to Mr. Bond, a druggist, at Yarmouth. The magistrates issued a warrant for the apprehension of Mi. Clifford on a charge of felony, and the officers were dis patched to apprehend him under the guidance of the un known lady.—Bury and Norwich Post. The Duke of Wellington hays had cards of invitation issued for a grand banquet at Apsley House, on the 25t1 instant, to the noble and gallant duke's supporters in th, House of Lords.

Not five Liberal merchants of standing in Belfast will meet Mr. O'Connell at a repeal dinner. The Catholic primate has refused to attend such a dinner, and the vast majority o the Catholic clergy and gentlemen of Ulster will follow hi example.—Belfast Chronicle NEW Com nt.—Th French papers seize with avidity the appearance of a new comet, as one of the remarkable series of prodigies by which the year 1810 is to be made famous to all future time. Nothing but this, they aver, was wanting to make it commemorable. The new comet is certainly not fictitious. Dr. Bromiker, of Berlin, has just discovered one, which was remarked also at the observatory of Vienna, on the 18th of November, and which was also observed by an astronomer at Modena on the Ist of December. This comet is not visible except with the assistance of a telescope. At this moment it is to be seen in the constellation of Andro meda. THE MILITIA.—It is stated in the best-informed circles, that upon the meeting of parliament a bill will be introduced, for the formation of a militia upon a most efficient plan ; and as it is found that the navy can be completed with volunteers, without having recourse to impressment, so it is intended that the same plan should be resorted to as regards the mili tia; and that oppressive and obnoxious system of ballot, which, from the numerous exemptions the higher classes of society are entitled to, makes it fall principally upon the middling and lower classes, will be abolished. In the mean time it is to be hoped that the attention of government will be drawn to the present inefficient state of the permanent staffs, and that those hoary veterans, who are borne down with age and infirmities, and are seen bending their way, with the aid of a walking-stick, to the place of muster once a month, will be allowed that retirement their long services so justly entitle them to, and their places be filled with young and efficient men.—Standard.. SUNDAY TRAFFIC ON CANALS.—A short time since, a petition, signed by 432 of the watermen and others employed on the Gloucester and Berkeley Canal, was addressed to the committee of management, praying that the privilege of resting from their labour on the Sabbath may be granted them by closing the line on that day. The Lord Bishop of the diocese, and 26 of the clergy, also addressed a memorial to the committee on the subject, in which the desecration of the Sunday, occasioned by the traffic on the canal, was for cibly pointed out. Several of the memorialists, in charge of parishes situate near the canal, stated that they had peculiar opportunities of observing the lamentable effects of the existing profanation of the Sabbath. It was also stated that upwards of 500 of the watermen had signed a petition to parliament, praying to be allowed " to keep the Sabbath day holy." At length, we are glad to see some effect has been produced on the committee, fora notification was issued on the 9th instant, to the effect that from and after the Ist of January, 1841, no vessel will be allowed to pass along the canal on Sundays after one o'clock in the day. This is, at all events, a beginning, but a bad principle is still sanctioned, and we heartily hope that we shall soon have to record a better determination on the part of the committee.—Glou caster Chronicle. SOUTH WALES.—" In a few parishes of my diocese," pays the present Bishop of Llandaff, in a recently published sermon, " there are some of the strongest examples, such as Bedwelty, Merthyr Tidvil, Trevethin, Aberystwith, and a few others which were, within living memory, either thinly peopled rural parishes, or uninhabited wastes, but are now swarming with population. Had this population increased gradually through a succession of ages, the claim upon those who employ them, though equally well founded, would not have been .so striking or apparent. But the fact is, that myriads are collected and settled on these spots within the compass of a few years, for the benefit of individuals who derive enormous wealth annually from their labour. The provision made for their religious instruction, and spiritual comfort, bears no proportion to the demand. Not one fiftieth part of the recently collected population is admissi ble within the walls of a church. A few individuals only of those on whom the claim justly lies, have hitherto done any thing towards a remedy for this monstrous evil. But I re joice in the prospect which is at length opened of better things. A conspicuous example has lately been set by a newly formed company, in whose employment many thou sands have already been settled on what was a few years ago a solitary desert. The directors of the company are not only engaged in providing a church with a competent endowment for the spiritual care of this people, but they have pro claimed in a solemn form their conviction of the obligation they lie under as Christians to make this provision, and the great body of proprietors have adopted the resolution and authorised its execution." ALARMING INUNDATION IN ARRAN.-^We learn from the Kilmarnock Journal, that on the 10th ultimo this island was visited by one of the most alarming inundations and deluging hurricanes that had been experienced for several years. In the morning dark, gloomy, and terrific-looking clouds were seen covering Mullen Gaoith (Windmill-hill), Torr-na- Ndean, and Craig Na-hiolcrach (Eagle-rock), and soon after the numberless rivulets and streams that issue from their bosoms poured down in torrents and thundering cataracts into the Glencloy river, which, in less than fifteen minutes overflowed its banks, and covered immense tracts of arable fields, plantations, gardens, roads, &c. The cottage at the foot of the glen, known in summer as the Fisherman's, was surrounded, and the family compelled to fly, or rather half swim, to a more elevated and protected spot. Below this, and all around to the sea, for about a mile, an immense un interrupted expanse of water presented itself, covering seve ral square miles, and deep enough to float large wherries. While this part of the island was.lying under water, both Glen Sherrag and Glen Roza were subjected to a similar vi sitation, the rivers spreading over vast fields, and the torrents rushing down with dreadful violence. From the great reser voir for supplying Brodick-mill, at least 500 feet above the sea's level, there was as splendid and grand a waterfall as Niagara, both in length and width. The Roza river, in hur rying towards its confluence at the bay, flooded extensively above the bridge, near the church, covered the public road leading to Brodick village like a canal, rendering it long im passable, forced down the stone fence on the Strabane side, formed a lake, and made a river passage. The storm extended also to Lochranza with the samefury, and the roads by Cory, Sannox, &C., have been torn and cut up as if bomb-shells had been employed. At Balmichael it was particularly vio lent. Towards Sbiskah the damage has been very great, particularly to the fine parliamentary road in many places, and one of the bridges has been much destroyed. EXTRAORDINARY FEAT OF SAM SCOTT, THE AMERICAN DlVER. — Yesterday an immense assemblage of persons was collected on Southwark-bridge, in order to witness the ex ploits of Sam Scott, soi-disant the American diver, but who is generally reported to have breathed first at Deptford. The river was blocked up with immense masses of floating ice, and it was expected by all, that, if Scutt ventured his perilous leap, a serious, if not fatal, accident to him must ensue. At three o'clock he came on the bridge from Bankside, and., after the usual collections, he took his stand over the centre arch of the bridge ; he continued here, and exhibited the feats which it is his custom to do—such as suspending himself by his neck, &c. It was evident, however, to all that a de scent from that spot could not be made, and Sam Scott, after waiting for some time, called out, " Gentlemen, you do not wish to see a man break his bead." • Cheers followed this announcement, and, leaving the scaffolding erected over the centre arch, he proceeded to the third on the north shore, and, being only attired in a blue check shirt and canvas trou sers he ascended-to the crossbars of the lamp, and, having again gone through his tricks, he inquired of the watermen below if all was safe? At this time the ice was flowing more in the centre of the stream, and the watermen replied, " All right," and with an antelope's bound the diver was under the water. He rose in a few seconds, legs first, then down they went, and his head and half of his body appeared. He swam about for some time among the floating ice, and was taken into a boat and conveyed ashore. He promises to do much more to-morrow ; but at the present state of the river, when two inches only of ice may be on the surface of the water, and twice that number of feet below, it is surely a very dangerous experiment. If this than lose his life in one of these attempts, in what situation will the proprietors of the bridge be? It is said they give Scott half the profits.— Morning Herald. JEWISH IGNORANCE OF CHRISTIANITY.—(From a Cor respondent of the Standard.)—lt is a fact little known, that the Jews are in a sad state of ignorance with regard to the nature of Christianity. At a meeting recently held in Edin burgh, in aid of the London Society f or th e Conversion of the Jews, Professor Alexander, of King's College, himself a converted Jew, stated that the differences which still sub sist between Christians and Jews would soon be removed by the free circulation of the Holy Scriptures. The Old Testa ment they possess in Hebrew, but few of them can read. The New Testament is scarcely known amongst them; in deed, few are aware of its existence. The professor stated in what manner he himself had been converted. Twenty years since he left Germany for England, with a view to take the place of rabbi in a congregation of Jews. He had scarcely been a fortnight from home when his attention was arrested by seeing large placards in the streets, announcing a meeting on behalf of the Jews.. -A-t - that time he knew an little of English that he could only make ont the word " Jew" on the placard, and he asked a Jewish friend what was the meaning of it ? His friend told him that it was a meeting of a society who had for its ~b ject to " make the Jews Gen tiles tthat was his mode of viewing the question,) and that they had translated the New Testament into the Hebrew language." This was the first time he (Professor Alex ander) had ever heard of the New Testament, and as he was curious to read it, he procured a coPy•in German, and the impression it made on him was altogether startling. The professor avers that he had no idea before that Christianity professed to be founded on Judaism, or that Jesus of Nazareth claimed to be the Messiah promised to their fathers. He now mentioned these things to induce Christians to send the New Testament to the Jews. His was not a peculiar case, it was the case of the nation at large; and it ought to be borne in mind that the idea the Jews obtain of Christianity from the conduct of the people in most countries where they reside is that of idolatry. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—A very curious charge has come under the consideration of the magistrates at the Town hail, Carlisle, during the week. M. Davis, a furrier, in Castle street, charged Mr. Harrison Flather, who is well known for his occasional contributions to the newspapers, with defraud ing him of a considerable sum of money, under the following circumstances. It appears, from M. Davis's statement, that he took it into his head to fall in love with a young lady who resides in Paternoster-row, and who happened to purchase some articles in his shop one day. Davis wished to address a letter to the young lady, but. being a Pole, and not able to express himself very clearly in English, he employed Mr. Harrison Fluffier as his secretary. The two first letters were returned to Mr. Davis, but after that he received a letter, purporting to come from the young lady, and saying that she had returned the previous letters of at the desire of her parents, but that she was willing to carry on a correspondence with Davis. Davis continued to write, and, as he supposed, to receive letters from the young lady, and Davis enclosed in his letters money and presents, amounting altogether to up wards of £BO. All Davis's letters were written by Mr. Flather. Davis says that the replies to his letters were lying on a table in his room, and he missed them one day after Mr. Mather had been in the room. He has only one letter pur porting to be written by the young lady. Mr. Flather under took to deliver the letters to the lady, and always said he did so. The young lady's friends declare that she had never re ceived any letters from Davis except the two first, which were returned, and that she never wrote him any letter. The examination of witnesses was not concluded when we went to press , and this, of course, is only an ex-parte statement as far as it goes. The young lady has not been examined,,she being at Liverpool. It is only fair to add that Mr. Flather strenuously denies being guilty of the criminal Conduct im puted to him.—Carliate Patriot.

TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 5, 1841 By the arrival of the Pigeon and of the Express, at Falmouth, we have received Guiana papers to the 17th of November, being a few days later than those which we acknowledged in our last. The Guiana Times states that the arrival of Sir Henry M'Cleod was anxi ously expected, inasmuch as, owing to the strange con duct of Governor Light, public business had been sus pended for six months. The same paper does not he sitate to say that Governor Light " has the ineffable want of spirit to be a party to an intrigue, for the pur pose of preoccupying Sir Henry's ears as soon as he lands." We have elsewhere given insertion to some pertinent remarks from the Guiana Times, on the fruits of eman cipation. Our colonial contemporary seems to think that the planters and merchants of the 'West Indies have little reason for deprecating a European war. The English would only have to lie to, off Martinique or Guadaloupe, for a few hours, to empty those islands of half their population. There is no news of any interest in the papers before We have received our files of the Jamaica Royal Gazette and Standard, to the 21st of November, in clusive. They do not contain much news of import- The weather had become much more propitious towards the commencement of the month; and the consequence was manifest in the green and cheerful appearance of the cane and pasture lands. A corres pondent from the parish of Manchester states that the planters in that district were all quite delighted with the Governor's speech. This appears to be the feeling of almost every class in the island, with the excepti on of the Baptist gitators, whose craft has been endau f ige& )y the firm but pacific administration of Sir Charles Metcalfe The subject of the proposed changes in the sugar necessarily occupied much attention among the planters of Jamaica. The Gazette and Standard, while it admits that, in consequence of the deficiency in the supplies of 'West India produce, sugar has risen to a price never before known during the time of peace, without the smallest prospect of being materially altered by natural circumstances for several years to come, still strenuously opposes any material alteration in the pre sent scale of duties on foreign sugars. The deficient supplies from the West Indies, it must be remembered, have been solely produced by the arbitrary proceedings of government; excited by the clamour of a variety of parties, some religious, others selfishly inclined. The assimilation of the duties upon British and Foreign sugars would only tend to seal irrevocably the ruin of extend the slave trade, and our own colonies, and to the slave produce of other countries in a proportionate degree. The Gazette and Standard'suggests, as a pre ferable alternative, the reduction of the duties on Bri tish plantation and Foreign sugars to the extent of ten or twelve shillings per cwt., which, it alleges, would clear at once about one half the increased price. With respect to the other half, the same journal says that it ought to be patiently borne by..the public, in return for the satisfaction of having had all their views and wishes fully carried out in the matter of emancipation_ Our contemporary does not think that the revenge would suffer materially by the change, " for, in addition. to the great increase in the consumption which the re duction of even lid. per pound would produce, if the government would only restore the drawback upon the exportation of refined sugars, which they lately so un advisedly destroyed, such an influx of the foreign article would ensue for such purposes, as could not but com pensate by its excessive duty for any deficiency which might remain." We offer no opinion at present on these suggestions further than the expression of our belief that their adoption would be any thing but ad- vantageous to our own colonies The Gazette and Standard quotes a Halifax journal, from which it appears that during Lord Sydenham's late visit to that colony, the exclusive consumption of foreign sugar and molasses had come under his Excel lency's notice. It was calculated that, at the time, there were in Halifax not less than 10,000 casks of such produce, scarcely a pound of which had been derived from any-of the Brittslircoletilie The same journal furnishes us with some interesting extracts from the Trinidad, St. Lucia, and other pa pers. It appears that, in the former colony, by a re turn of the produce shipped in each of the last seven years, the falling off in sugar has averaged 1,500 hogs heads, the amount exported in 1834 being 25,400 hogsheads, and that in 1840 only 15,700 hogsheads. The deficiency for the last year was .upwards of 2,000 hogsheads. In the cocoa and coffee crops there ap pears to have been very little variation. The number of emigrants which arrived during September was 102 —making the whole number, from the Ist of January 2,408. The island of St. Lucia appears to be in a most deplorable state. In its crops it has fallen off enormously. Estates which, even in 1838, shipped 130 hogsheads of sugar, have finished this year with 40. From Tobago we learn that the Legislature had 'passed a bill appropriating the sum of £30,000 for the purposes of immigration. -~----_ Since our last there has been very little foreign in telligence of any importance. Th e war party in France seem to have exhaust e d th e i r stoc k of a b use of the present ministry of Louis Philippe. There is nothing new from the East. The overland mail may be daily expected with most important intelligence. We learn that the Circassians have again completely routed the Russians, and captured -an important fort, after a decisive engagement. The governthents of Austria, Prussia, Wurtemburg, and Bavaria, .are pur chasing horses to a very great extent in Russia, with the permission of the Emperor: This has certainly a warlike appearance.
