"Quis Separabit." THE ORIGINAL LIVERPOOL AND NEW YORK S'T'EAM-PACKET COMPANY. Capital £200,000. io 10,000 Shares of £2O. each. • frill E object of this Company is to establish a Steam Cont.:. municatiou between the Ports of Liverpool .aua New York. . Its projectors have long entertained the most sanguine opi nions as to the success likely to attendsuch au eaterprize, wheu liberally backed by public patronage; and, this, the present prospectus, it is confidently hoped, will be the edits of Induc tug. Twenty years ago the idea was derider successfully effeCt 7 ing.an intercourse by Steam between th . country and irelaud. Nevertheless, we are now in a position of exposing the fallacy of so contracted a view, as science, aided by wealth, persever ance, and enterprise have prevailed, and the existing establish ments are in the umst prosperous urdition. • The assertion, then, may fairly be hazarded, that Steam Navigation, iu the really efficient farm it has assumed in the present day, is capable in an eminent degree of developing the vast resonices of those fertile, densely populated, and cornmer cially important districts of North America,) to which the oper aliens of this Company will be directed,) by affording that su perior facility of intercourse between them and Great Britain, roil which Steam in other parts of the world has become so justly celebrated, and which, alike to the Merchant and the ,Ertiigrant, must be a matter of the most paramount interest. The projectors are justifiable its stating, (inasmuch its it is the expressed opinion of scientific and experieuced inen,) that, with suitably constructed and powerful vessels, the run out to New York may, in ordinary weather, be accomplished in about fourteen days. So quick a run by other means, it is believed, should be without a parallel. An ample supply of,Fuel may be always calculated upon, as the great improvement lately introduced in the engineer and Lanier department (the invention of the scientific Mr, Hall) has caused a most extraordinary decrease in the consumption of that very important article: In order to disseminate as widely as possible the advantages likely to accrue from such an association as this, welt, respect ably; and spiritedly conducted,—a prominent feature in its for mation has been, that of dividino , the shares into a moderate amount, of Twenty Pounds each;' thus, not • precluding the tradesman or small capitalist from investing in an establishment which canuot but angmeut the commercial importance of this enterprising- community. The Company will be considered •as constituted, as soca as bona tide applications to the extent of 5000 shares shall have been made. five. Shillings per Share will be required upon enrollment ; and, in one week after Directors have been chosen, it will be necessary for Proprietors to pay £2. per Share -into the Albio❑ Bank, to. the credit of the Company. '1 he remainder of the calls to be made as the direction-Intl' deeli expedient, in sums not exceeding £2. per share. and at periods of not less than six weeks ber ween- each eall. The management of the Company shall be intrusted to Six Directors, to be chosen by the Proprietors.

MHE practicability of navigating the Atlantic. by powerful Sterna Vessels, and effecting a passage from the, port. of New York to the shores of Great Brrtain, with tolerable cer tainty, in lu or 12 days, having beau fully : established, it can scarcely fail immediatelyto increase the intercourse between the two countries to as unprecedented extent. The trials that have been .made.by the spirited owners of the Great Western and Sirius steam ships, deserve the praise and encouragement of the British and American public; but when it is considered that-of these vessels one is confined ,to the port. of Bristol, and that the other occupies a portion only of the at tention of a company, it will be admitted that they wrist prove quite inadequate to the conveyance of the thousands of pas-, sr:ngers. who yearly vross the Atlantic, and who have hitherto taken their passage in sailing.vessels. These sailing vessels, as far as i.assraw:ers ate coraet:upcd, must now give way to their powerful rival,, the steamers. . 11 is therefore proposed to establish a company that shall con fine its capital and energies to the conveyance o f passengers and goods, With the greatest possible punctuality and despatch, between, London, Liverpool, and New Nork. Plan of operation—To build four or six vessels. of front 1001) to 1504 lons, upon the most approved principle, of the greatest proportionate steam power, and fitted in a style cumbiumg.ele ganee, and comfort. That one of these vessels shall be despatehed from London and Liverpool alternately, twice in each month; from London. oN the first, and from Liverpool iii the middle, of the month, and on the same dates from New York_ :Or twicre a mouth from Liverpool, and once from Loudon, as may be found expedient. First outlay.—Six steam ships, including all the expenses of the Company up to the time of the dispatch of the first vessel, at Z 50,000. —E300,000. To raise which sum, no more (hart .00. per share on the ca pital will be required. .. The present and increasing, rates of freight and passage, the Committee confidently believe will return to the shareholders a dividend of at least 20 per cent, , . The Committee having secured the purchase or refusal of the splendid steam ship. the Liverpool, with engines of SUO-horse power, built by Sir J. Tibia, in the Mersey, to compete with the Great Western, and now nearly ready for sea, this Company will he enabled to commence operations at once, and to despatch their first vessel before the British Queen, sir . any other nesv vessel of the class, can be got ready for sea. £3. tier share, in with. lion to the deposit,- will more than cover the purchase of the Liverpool.

The Contracts entered into by the former Company, intended to have been established iu 1537. under the_authority'uf Parliament, being available for purposes or this Company. The first two Vessels of the Company, of 4,50 horses power, and PAX) tons but then each, by Messrs. Fawcett, Preston, and Co.. and Messrs. W. and J. Wilson, will, it is expected, be available in the course of next year, and the well known cha racter of those houses cannot fail of giving confidence to the public and ensure the utmost perfection, in build and Machinery, of which Steam Navigation is at present susceptible. This Company having the advantage of Co-operation with the City of Dublin Steain-packet Cbmpany and of their experi ence in the management awl business of Steam Navigation, the public may feel assured, that the Directors of that Company,. who have associated themselveS with the present undertaking, would not have done so 'except under a full conviction of its practicabi:ity and success The ituproved'state of Steam Navigation. and the great ex tension of the intercourse in passengers between Great Britain and AMerica, - eoupled with — the strong desire expressed in the manufacturing districts in favour of the Steam intercourse with the United States and the British Colonies through the Port of Liverpool, give ample assui ance Of a satisfactory return on the Capital to he employed. All the Vessels of this Company are intended to be con structed on the safety principle so successfully adopted by the City of Dublin Steam-packet Company, of being divided into separate compartments by air and water-tight plate-iron bulk heads, a principle which guarantees the greatest security against accidents at Sea. The entire timber work of these Vessels, also, will be prepared oil Kyan's anti-dry rut procesi : thus securing' he greatest strength't.,nddutabil'ity of which Steam-ships are use eptibte. For the purpose of giving immediate effect to the operations of the Company and to the intercourse between LtvEn Pow, and Naw YOLK, and until the Company's new Vessels shall be ready for service, arrangements have tarn made with the City of Dublin Steam-packet Company, tits tivlnich two Steam Vessels will he at once placed on the line. 'rhe first of these Vessels, lie Rota t. Wicri sst, is intended to be despatched from LI VERPOOL for NEW YORK early in July next. The SUbscribers to the American Sieum Company, intended to have been estabbst ed in 1537; under the proyisi,ns of the Acts of Gilt and 7th George IV., and which Act has, fur the present, become legally inoperative. have priority of-Subscrip tion for Shares in the above, pursuant to an arrangement entered into to that effect. - Shares, in the fist instance, will be istnfatl to tt,e amount of but one half of the capital above mentioned, until, in the pro gress of the Company's operations, an Aditional number of vessels shall be required. In issuing the remaining half o r the Shares, when suet, shall lie necessary, miority.of Subscription will be given to the then existing Proprietors, who will b e enti tled to whatever advantages may attach to such Shares. Instalments to be called for at intervals of not less than three months, and not exceeding EIO per share. Application for the tinapprepriated Shares May he made to the Company's Bankers or Solicitors, or at the Offices of the Dublin Steam Packet Company, in Liverpool, Dublin, Belfast, Limerick, and London: The Directors are authorized to apply fora Charter under the .pritvisions of the Act of let Victoria, and measures have already been taken for that purpose.

Dr. DAVIESON continues to direct his ion to those dis orders arising from the too free and indis ninate indulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numerous train of nervous affections, but also entails on its votaries all the ener vating imbecilities of old age. In that distressing state of de. bility and deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful ha hits, excessive drinking, or any other cause by which the powers of the constitution becoMe enfeebled, he offers a firm, safe, and • speedy restoration to sound and vigorous health. It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the ye; nereal disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the constitution, and when the great Doctor Swedour became Professor at Ley-- den University, he conferred an invaluable benefit upon man kind by the discuYery of grand Panacea, for the cure of this denlOrable complaint. Never did a discovery excite a greater sensation, it was soueht after With avidity, and used with the undeviating success in the most nowise and intricate cases of the delicate complaint. for the cure of which they have been so long celebrated. The fame of these Pills throughout Germany, caused their Speedy introduction into almost every country. tie certainty with which they were continually administered can be attested by many thousands. In fact, during the long centi nental war they were the inseparable companion and safeguard of the soldier. in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infec tion was entertained. What medicine can be more appropriate than that which hasg,ivear such general satisfaction ? Thell Yves ian Herb Pills root out every particle of insidious poison, puri lying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action the different functions of the body expelling the grosser humours, and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the mist sceptical of their - astonishing and uneqUalleil powers. The neither contain niercttry nor any other mineral, and may be' taken without the s)ightest saspition of discoverthey require 115 restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business. but effect a complete cure, without the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the slightest suspicion' may exist, it will • be well tb have recourse to . the Hygeian Herb Pills, for when taken before the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventive, by moving the. complaint effectually and secretly. 'fire deplorable state in which many persons have been when visitinv the proprietor, from the 'use of mercury, renders it im peratively necessary forant ion the public against that dangerous mineral when injudiciously administered.

Russm.t.,moved toe order of toe day that the report oil the municipal corOoratlons (Ireland) bill be brouOit up, and in answer to Sir J. Gilts m stated, that he intended on Mon day to lay on the table of the.house certain resolutions relating„ to the suDject . of tithes, with the intention of a ft e raards bring ing in a bill founded on those resolutions. Mr. Hums moved the second reading of the county rates bill, and expressed great indig►natio❑ that the ministers had suddenly vanished front the_house. Lord J. Russell, however, returned in time to assist in throwing out the bill, which was re jected bye majority of 68. • • Toe eipenses at elections bill was throw❑ out by a majority of 28: The copyright bill, after some sharp discussion, was committed pro forma, and w,isordered to be recuusidered on the 20th inst The Lord'seliy bill.. was also, committed pie forma; three amendments were added, and the repurt is to be discussed on the Mr. Lrtsictes married women's bill was thrown out by a ma jority of 35. The High-sheriffs bill, was, on the motion of the ATTOII SLY GENERA 1., thrown out without a division. Several colonial returns were orthied on the motion of Mr. PHASE. after which the house adjourned at 12 o'clock' HOUSE OF LORDS. -THURSDAY. After the presentation of some miscellaneous petitions, a con versation was introduced by Lord BitOUGII AM, on the subject of the late riot iu Keut, which did nut elicit any thing worthy of special notice, The Ea rt of- DEVO. gave notice that - he would, on Friday, draw the attention of their lordships to the third report of tile criminal law commissioners, and move for a select committee on the subject. On the motion,that their lordships proceed to the order of the day for the committee •on the poor-law (Ireland) bill, LOld FITZGERALD detailed at some length the various amendments which he should wish to introduce into that measure. • • The house then went into committee, when, after some debate, an amendment proposed by • the Duke of WELLINGTON was adopted, to the effect that-such destitute persons as by-reason of old age, blindness, lameness, or other infirmity, may.not be able towurk,shall have a claim to relief prior to that of the able bodied poor. , The. noble duke also proposed several Other amendments, amongst which was a clause, by way of localisiug expenses, to affix the expenses upon the town-land 'in which the person receiving relief was registered as residing. He said . it " been represented to hint that these townlands were of wiry unequal size, some of them which were in the neighbour hood of large towns being excessively small; and\ it• had been represented to him that if the expenses were affixed upon those townlands, they would be entirely ruined by the resort of pau tiers, to townlands. The pari s h es w ere ver y unequa l in point of size, and the baronies were in like :mintier unequal; and he, therefore, thotiglit, that the object Of; this clause was to fix the expense upon the electorial district of guardians. He thought this would be the best mode 6-r lecalising the expenses. He was anxious to give each district au interest in keeping down the expences." . The Bishop of ExErEn moved amenduients, which were adopted to prevent Roman catholic bishops from exercising power over the priests with respect to their atteudauce at the workhouse, and - to - provide that • the clergy of any persuasion should not give instruction to persons In the workhouse in the -same room in Which individuals of another persuasion were present. • An amendment, proposed by Lord FITZGERALD, in the 46th clause of the bill, requiring annual reports to the poor-law commissioners from the hospitals in Ireland, was ordered to be printed, in order that it might be taken into consideration on bringing up the report. The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Friday. The bills on the table were forwarded a - stage, and their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—THURSDAY. .. .

IRON SIE A NI-BOA is 'necessary to mention, among the impiovements which ate likely to add to the capabilities of steam vesse l s , for making long voyages, the introduction of iron as the material of construction, the use of which has been attended with complete success, in every instance in which it has been tried. The advantages of iron vessels are stated to be ; that they do n o t weigh one-halt that of a timber sea-going vessel, and they there fore, draw considerably less water, and give a greater speed with equal power; greater safety, in consequence of being divided into water-tight compartments by iton bulk-heads, and greater • economy, as they du not require SO many repairs. The capacity •is also increased for passengers and goods: A wooden vessel of 30 f ee t beam is only 27 Act 6 inches inside, while an iron vessel would be 29feet 6 inches, ronsequently, a saving of taw feet is produced throughout the whole length of the vessels. They sides possess the advantage in hot climates of being cooler, more free from vermin ; ;And, in consequence, mote healthy. In fact. the advantages seem to be generally acknowledged. The only difficulty that has at present stood in the Way of their employ ment in sea voyages, has been the effett of the iron on the com pass, and Otis has been successfully overcome, in the late voy age of L'Egyplian to Alex a nd r ia, " in which the compass was fix under the direction of Professor Barlow, and has been i to u h ' h ave work with the same accuracy as in an ordinary vessel \re ne, become no doubt, therefore, that iron vessels will, i very general, and add greatly to the facilities a tiessilla3ttl t ime, of steam navigation.—Weale's new edition 't e gold's Work on the Steam Engine; Steam Navigation, LONDON ANO SouTHArarroN During the first t' t i t o ; tithainpton Rail week &ter the opening of the Lond t it and and during the way, upwards of 5000 assen , ers e travelled xceeded 10,000. perst , , , r i !s "second week the num ber , races increasing the number o f p „,_ Inn the second week the h. n and would have added 3t.00 or 4000 •sengers very considerably. t o the nu mber, but for the tumult which occurred at the terminus at El ms, m"" On the Derby day, which p revente d the for some time f rom g oin g at all.

I Pupa ViC Sunduy ) CITY, SA'l:lloAY.—AliilOUgh money is beeorning more in demlind fur intocantile purposes, still we cannot yet quote any very general increase of animation in the markets for the prin cipal descriptions of produce, whether colonial or foreign. The quantity of goois offered since Wednesday has been very con siderable indeed, consisting of large parcels of Mauritius, Ben . gal. West India, and other Suga r s, as we ll as many d escr i pt i ons of Coffee. Silk Piece Goods, and other produce and manufac tures-. The actual sales have exceeded the average usually taken, and these markets may therefore he quoted in a healthy state. The American trade still - labours under - depression, though not by any means so great as a few weeks since. The .accoutits received From the United States to the 12th ult., con cur in representin g , that a more favourable condition o f things existed, the consequence of • a return to specie payment by :11 the banks of the St a t e an d Ci ty of New York, - and in many other parts of the union. • "- - It appears by the last official returns, that the whole of the banks of the United States have upon the aggregate more than 1,000,000 of Dollars as the then total circulation. The general resumption of specie payments, therefore, throughout the United States may, we apprehend, be carried into full execution with- Out the possible chance of an y " untoward" event. arising, by which a fresh suspension Would be rendered necessary. Specie continued to flow into the United States, up to the latest dates, from all quarters. The commercial interests were, however, complaining that with'the partial revival of trade, the banks were extremely shy of discounts. The position in which the merchants of America were, placed in b y the absence of accom modation, will be best illustrated by the fact exhibited in the last returns, that the banking establishments of the United States have upon loans and discounts at present an aggregate amount, less by 60,000,000 dollars than` at the corresponding period of last year. It ts,.however, satisfactory to k•noty that ere long there must be a revival of trade, as the stockS of all descriptions of goods were, at the latest dates, extremely low, and' the balance of trade for some months past..has been against this country—such has been the avidity shewn by " Brother Jonathan" to press forward his produce to Great Britain. It appears by the last returns, that 1,050,000 bales of Cotton bad been shipped off from American ports for BurOne,' exceeding by 200,000 bales the exports'of 18.37, and nearly 400.000 bales above the quantity consigned to various places in the previous year, up to the same date. • • - The prices of Stock have remained very steady throughout this week. Consols for the July account - have ranged only be 'tween 951 and 951, but for Money the alterations have been more extensive. 1 oere were many sales made early in the week, in anticipation of the closing, of the transfer books, and the price of Consols receded to 91,1. We cannot quote any material vari ation in the other Stocks. The premium on Exchequer Bills has improved again to 68-70, and India Bonds to 72-74. Bank of England Stock has fluctuated between 204 and 204 and East India Stock between 270,1 and 2701. Foreign Bonds haVe been in limited demand this week. Pot tuguese Stock, in consequence of the instability of the ministry at Lisbon, has been rather 'seriously affected. The Five per Cents have fallen from 31 to 364, and the Three per Cents from 261 to 2-11.

To the Honourable the Coomons of Great Britain an'd - Ireland in Parliament assembled, The humble Petition of the M iniste:s'aud' Elders of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, SHEIVETH, That the attention of your petitioners has been drawn to cer tain documents, showing that, in a variety of ways, and to a very painful evtent, the countenance and support of the British Government of India have been given to the idolatry of the natives subject to this country. That in particular your petitioners refer in the first place to a memorial presented in August 1836 to the Governor iu Council at Madras signed by the Archdeacon and a numb e r o f respect able individuals ' lay and clerical; and to a similar memor i a l , presented to the Governor in Council at Bombay, detailing facts relative to this subject of the most appalling description— from which it appears that by offerings made and honours ren dered to idols, revenue derived from their worshippers, attend ance required of British functionaries, civil and military at heathen or Mahoniedan festivals, and regulati o ns . respecting the impure and unhallowed rites of the pagoda, this country has, through its athorities, become involved in the heinous guilt of directly encouraging and Maintaining false religion, and at the same time aggrieving and ensnaring the consciences of pro:. leasing Christian's employed in its service. That these facts, so far from having been ever contradicted, are established bevend doubt by a despatch front the Bight Honourable Lord Olenelg, as President of the Board of Con trol, of date twentieth February, eighteen hundred and thirty three, to which your petitioners beg in the next place to call the attention of your Honourable House, and of which the ing is an extract:— " That the interference of British functionaries n the interior management of native temples, in the customs, habits, and reli gious proceeding of their priests and attendants, in the arrange ment of their ceremonies, rites, and festivals, and generally in the conduct of their interior economy, shall cease.- " That the pilgrim tax shall everywhere be aholished. "That fines and offerings shall no longer be considered as sources of revenue by the British Government, and they shall no longer be collected or received by the servants of the company. "That no servant Of the East India Company shall hereafter be engaged in the collection, or management, or custody of monies, in the nature of tines or offerings, however obtained, or whether furnished in cash or in kind. "That no servant of the Company shall hereafter derive any emolument from the above-mentioned or any similar sources. "That in all matters relating to their temples, their worship. their festivals, their religious practices, and their ceremonial observances, the natives be left entirely to themselves. ." That in every case in which it has been found necessary to form and keep up a police force, especially with a view to the peace and security of the pilgrims or of the worshippers, such police shall hereafter be maintained and made avaitanle out of the general revenues of the country." , That the orders contained in this excellent despatch have, as your petitioners understand, never been carried into effect; and as appears from a resolution of the Court of East India Proprie tors, so late as the twenty-first of March last, so far from its be ing intended that they should be executed, it is now the design of that Honourable Body to preclude, if possible, any farther in terference in the matter on the part of the Christian public. That your petitioners, representing as they do the Establish ed Church - of Scotland, feel, that fronuttt the Lestheregard interestswlrichtle,;vf owe to the glory of the only true Gal, and the country, from sympathy for their countrymen employed under the Gove.rnment of India (some of whorl, for conscience sake, have already been obliged to give up their situations in life,) and front concern for the welfare of the natives themselves,_ they are called upon to remonstrate against evils of such mag nitude as those which have been pointed out; and considering as they de the Legislature of this Christian laud as being in its own department, and by the use of its own appropriate means, the guardian as well of the Church as of Divine.truth and pub lic morals, they most respectfully pray, That your Honourable House may be pleased to interpone its authority, so as that, either by enforcing the execution of the orders contained in the foiecited d espatc h , or i u a ny other way which to your Honourable House may seem most advisable, an end may be put to that support of idolatry in India which is therein particularly alluded to, and which is not less aggrieving to the consciences of British Christians employed in the Company's service than it roust be offen sive to Almighty God. BAPTISM OF A JEW BY IMMEIISION.—On Thursday evening last the above rare and interesting scene took place in the Bap tist church, Louth; the Rev. F.

After the baptism, Mr. Symonds, in a lengthened address, gave his reasons for embracing Chris tianity, and for becoMing a Baptist, founding his argunientson the words of- Jude; in the progress of his remarks we learned that Mr. Symonds had officiated several years as a Jewish Rabbi, and that he has endured persecution and loss of property.— Lin coln Gazette.

J N U. IS3B. TIIE FATAL RIOT NEAR CANTERBURY, ( Front • the CANTER.BURY, WEDNESDAY EVHNING, I have just seen a statement attempting to couriect the rt-ceut disturbances iu the parishes of Boughton and Heruehilt with the excitement existing in other places against the New Poor Law. I have before asserted that, as cause and effect, these two sub jects have no connexion whatever. It is there stated, that on Wednesday last, in certain gravels-pits, close to the tnickfields, at Sittiugbourne, Thom offered 3U persons, whom he found at work, bread and beer, if they would go with him and attack the union workhouse itt Milton, and that they unanimously spurned _ . his offer. I have the authority of a person who was then present, asserting that such an offer was never made by Thom, and that those who are represented as spurning it, never lieard of it having been made until they saw it in one of the country papers. Thom certainly.did ask the men at these gravel-pits to join him; but one of them had the good sense to reply that he must have suf ficient grounds shown him f o r p u tti ng hi s own neck into jeopardy, and the country into disturbance, t•efore he joined in such int expedition. On this Thom turned round and left the men saying. " It is of no use talking to you. You are all a set of Methodists." He assailed them, however, with some other inflantmatory topics, and among other inducements which he held out to them to rise against the rich, asked them, "Do writ think it ever was ,or dained by God that th ese un i ons s h ou ld separate man and ? • Law. That .was the only reference h e ma d e to t h e New Poor and however that law may be disliked in this county, he ne * . e . r , proposed to any of hi s di sc ipl es t h at t h ey s h ou ld f o ll o w hits obtain its repeal, nor is th ere any reason to t hi nk t h at , t o produce . t( such a result, any of th e m w o uld h ave ' venture d u p o n ouc h course of turbulence and v i o l ence as t h at w hi c h h as recently stained the reputation of these parishes. 'Though roost of the Area who followed John Thom in his riotous march through the country, were personally attached to that mischievous per Son and regarded him as a super-human being, it would be wrong to suppose that every one who joined his ranks was induced to accompany him from respect for his real or assumed character. There is ne doubt that some, hav ing, unfortunately for themselves, m e t Th om i n hi s ma d ca reer, were compelled by threats, and by the fear of instant death, to remaiu with him.. I have been informed that Miles, who was discharged from custody last Monday by the magistrates of Faversham, was one of those who were thus led away. Miles is a small farmer, about 56 years old, cultivating a little piece of ground of his own, and, as we stated yesterday, oecupyinga very neat cottage, which he has built on his land. He is known at Herne-hill, as an industrious and inoffensive man, and is the father of a large family, - whom he has brought up in respecta bility. He has ten children; most of them are females, exceed ingly pretty, and having, for their rank iu lite, an air of extra ordinary gentility. - The numbers of his grandchildren living amounts to 12, and he hastwo dead. Early on Thursday, Miles was proceeding with his hoe in his hanu to the fields, when Thorn and his party came up to him, and asked hint to go with them. Miles bad no disposition to do so ' but -was, cont ra r y to hi s incli nations, persuaded by on e o f his daughters to follow Courtenay, for the purpose of hearing what it was that that individual, who was thought to be inspired, : had to say to the mob. This step was no sooner taken than repented of. On reaching the osier beds Thom turned upon his followers, and threatened to shoot any one who should attempt to desert him. Some of the party then remonstrated with him; they asked him -" -What it -was he intended to do, and pointed out the certainty of their being all killed if the soldiers came upon them.". To this Thorn re plied, in a manner not quite consistent with the notion which he laboured to inspire in others that be and his party were ren dered l,voluereile by Divine power, " Oh, no !" he said, "that might happen on the road or in an open space; but we shall be here protected by the wood." Thum and his followers then went, as has been already frequently stated, to Mr. Irancis's house, where Mr. Francis, Miss Francis, and Miss Home shook hands with him. The latter lady, whose age, 1 ant told, is on the wrong side of forty, was not, it seems, content with this ordinary mode of salutation, but flinging her arms round Thom's neck, •• hugged and kissed illin as if (to use my informant's expression) ihe would' bite a piece out of his cheek." It is also positively said that a bottle of gin was hhnded by this maiden over' the hedge to Thom. At this moment an alarm was raised that the soldiers were coming, and Thom and his party immediately retreated into the osier-bed. Soon after this, Miles, who had loitered to the rear of the party. seized an opportunity, when screened from Thom's sight by a high bank and a bend in the road, of escaping. I have it in my power to mention another instance in which it is fair to presume that terror akine prevented Thorn's band from being lessened by at least -one person. Goodwin, one of the rioters committed for trial, Was asked by Them to which side 113 belonged, adding, that if he belonged to the other party he should not live. At the same time Thom pointed a pistol at Goodwin, and the person who gave use information of this oc currence states that he expected every moment to see Good win's brains blown into the air. Another case, which I shall here mention, is a proof of the anxiety of Thom to press any person he could catch hold of into his service. That wretched looking old min, Thomas Ovendon, who was committed on Monday last, to Maidstone gaol, on a charge of wilful murder, is a beggar who wanders about the lanes between Whitstable, Herne-hill, and, the neighbourhood. •An individual of respect able character saw him on the road betweeu Whitstable and Boughton at half-past eight o'clock on the morning of Thurs day, and as he passed could not help thinking that the poor wretch would certainly fall in with, and be pressed by, Thous and his party. As this gentleman predicted, so it happened. He was taking in the act of twining, as hard as an old Man can run, away from the firing, and was knocked down by one of the constables. Ire is little better than an ini6t, as his looks strongly denote. He was born in Whitstable workhotrie, acid anti has scarcely ever been out of it during the whole of his life. Surely the government will never proceed capitally against so imbecile a creature. It seems that after Miles succeeded in getting-away, as we have just stated, front the hand of rioters, Thom by his conduct showed that he was apprehensive - of Mere desertions. He therefore changed his position from the head to the rear of his natty, and drove them on beforehim , pushitigoneof them (John - Puller) forward by striking him repeatedly with his pistol on• the back. In the course of my 'ambles this morning through the parish of Hertie-hill, of which inure hereafter, I learned that the so ciety for " Confusing . ' Useful Knoyledge has seat a missionary into this neighbourhood for the purpose of asc ertaining to wha t . extent education has been afforded to the children of the po o r in B I m o e u t g t t o t t-rdi e ew a c r a n i e t a with . and.otinh n i ntt a djacent cou i t i a a i ci l s i nheg the body o f Branchette.

Francis and his family in the most gentlemanly wanner. On Mr. G. Francis observing, in January last, a uew pair of pistols in the possession of Mr. Thorns, he immediately remon strated with him on the sulitiect, and insisted on their being taken from his premises. Mr. Thorns hayinglai/ed to give ;tr. G. Francis convincing proof that he was the man lie had repre sented himself to be, Mr. G.

Francis avoiding to hold any conversation with him, excepting the re questing Mr. Thorns tntake his horse from off the premises. On the sth of May Mr. Thorns came to Mr. Francis's house for his horse, and uninvited 'drank tea there, on which occasion Mr. G. Francis left his own house for the express purpose of avoiding Into, and drank tea at his son's house. On Thursday morning last, after Mr. Thous had shot the constableiu the wood, - he came alined to Mr. G. Francis's house with 36 of his deluded followers with bludgeons, and in sisted on Mr. G. Francis supplying them ail with gin and water, on which Mr. Thorns was supplied with. gin and water for him self, and beer for his followers; at this moment Mr. G. Francis came up, when Mr. Thorns said. •‘ Francis, I am corns here to make my peace with you ; wce have not been upon terms for some time; I forget and forgive you what has passed, and I hope you will do the same and shake I.a.ids." Mr. G. Francis replied, ‘• Sir William, I regret seeing you in this situation ; you are not only getting into trouble yourself, but by coming to my house you are getting me into trouble alio. I must request that y ou will immediately lake vont. party off my premises. I feel no animosity against you, (and shook hands,) at the same time I must tell ymm that if yi] are not the person you haVe repre sented yourself to be, you deserve the severest. punishment. can be inflicted." At this moment it was reported the soldiers were coming to the house, when Mr. Thorns said, " My lads.. come on down to the over-bed, where we shall have an open field .to fight_in." 11t Thorns sod _his deluded followers ironie-. diatelv went to the ozier-bed.

PopEav UNCHANGED IN IB3B.—Extract of a letter. dated Naples, May Certainly no desCription can equal th e re ality of the absurdity of some of the scenes we have witnessed- At game we spent the Passion week, saw a great many of the ceremonies, among which was the Pope's washing the feet of thirteen pilgrims, and afterwards waiting upon them while they dined. This is spoken of as a mark of humility, but the water is poured into a silver tra-;ai by some Prince, and presented to the Pope kneeling, and at the dinner the dishes are hauded to the Pope by mitred bishops, who also kneel on presenting them. We saw a public baptism of two Jews, which was very a bsurd. The bishop, who perforated the rite , w ent through innumerable - ceremonies with the water , breathi n g o n it , crossing it, trii*ing oil, wine, and bread in it , an d at last settin g an enormous condi! in it. After the baptism, the proselytes were confirmed and then there was an ordination and communication But the most absurd thing we have seen was here the other day—the liquifying.- of the blood of St. Januarius or Cennaio. In the usorniag they brought a silver gilt half-length figure of the saint into the. Cathedral, and with touch ceremony, dressed hint it, splendid, robes, and put on bins a mitre.
