A Newly-discovered Wheat, " Four-square.headed-Red A Britannic," by THOS. FULLARD, Thorney, near Peterboro', fresh imported, fresh to the soil, fresh to the atmosphere. One quarter'of it will sow fry in 6to 7 acres. The production of this seed this year has proved beyond a doubt that, it is well calculated for this country. Lord Chesterfield's representative has the highest opinion of it, and numbers of the largest farmers in the six adjoining counties say they never witnessed any thing equal to it. One gentleman, who has very poor land, has informed me that he is selling his crop of this Wheat at £8 per quarter, and he has had 11 quarters to the acre. Mr. Abbot, of Loudham, hal sold my Wheat at £8 per quarter • it was the best crop in the neighbourhood. 50 bush e ls of this Wheat will make more money than 100 bushels of common Whest. The best seed is best for the community, best for improvement, hest for the landlord, best for the tenant, best for the poor. It is the greatest object to the Wheat grower to select the proper Wheat for Seed : the common sort is ruinous. From 1 quarter of my Wheat Mr. Shield grew 440 bushels; Mr. Mr. Hodson, from 2 bushels 13 quarters, 6 bushels; Mr. Carisbrook, near Lincoln, had three labourers who had pieces of ground all alike•, one sowed my Wheat and had as much as the other two; this shows by little what men may do. I have received an order from Windsor for this Wheat to seed the Queen's farm. The Yorkshire farmers pre sented me with a piece of plate for the benefit they received from this new discovery. The gold medal in London has been awarded me for the merit of the introduction of this Wheat. A farmer can no mere fight his way now without following the new-improved specimens than a soldier can fight without arms. The time I hope now is come for every one to make every improvement and break down all preju dice, and nut act as if they were in bondage. I know I may as well try to swallow all London, and drench it down with the Thames, as to attempt to turn some people. I hope to see the Irish better provided for. I can find thousands of houses in Ireland in which for the last two months there has not been a loaf of bread. I myself witnessed this distressing fact. Now for Sale, the Wellington Waterloo White Wheat. selected from the field of Waterloo a few years since; it has always been set by hand, and thrashed upon a cloth in the field, to prevent mixture of any kind. All other sorts of Wheat may be had of my agents. I have also now on Safe, German Marrow-fat Tares to sow on clovers instead of rye-grass, as I consider rye-grass a cloak fur twitch, and an enemy to Wheat. One of the largest farmers in Norfolk, who has always been a large grower, declares he will never sow rye-grass again. I should be happy to give any gentleman my plan of sowing the tares, as the system will improve the crop, the stock, and the land. Atl letters post-paid. N.B.

PROFESSOR SWEDOUR'S HYGEIAN HERB PILLS, for the effectual extirpation of every species and symptom of the SYPHILITIC DISEASE, anti the disorders arising from improper treatment. Pre,pared and sold by the sole Proprietor, at No. 42, SEEL-STREET, LIVERPOOL. In boxes at 2s. 9sl. and 4s. 6(1- each. Warranted not to contain COPAIBA, CUBEBS, or an deleterious ingredient. *** With each Box is given a Treatise on Venereal and Syphilitic Diseases, with observations on seminal weak ness &c. &c., containing hints worth knowing by those who are, or have been sufferers. to this dreadful and devastating malady. , . _ Dr. DAVI ESON continues to direct his attention to those disorders arising from the too free and indiscriminate in dulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numer oat train of nervous affections, but also entails on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old age. In that distressing state of debility and deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful habits, excessive drinking, or any other cause by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, he offers a firm, safe, and speed, restoration to sound and vigor ous health. It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the venereal disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the con stitution. When the great Doctor Swedour became Pro fessor at Leyden University, he conferred an invaluable be nefit upon mankind by the discovery of his grand Panacea, for the cure of this deplorable complaint. Never did a dis covery excite a greater sensation, it was sought after with avi4ity, and used with undeviating success in the most rn'nute and intricate cases of the delicate comnlaint. for the cure of which they have been so long celebrate . d. The fame of these Pills throughout Germany, caused their speedy in troduction intu almost every country. •Tne certainty with which they were continually administered can be attested by many thousands. In fact; during the long continental war they were the inseparable companion and safeguard of the soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infection was entertained. What medicine can be more appropriate than that which has given such general satisfaction ? The H ygeian Herb Pills root out every particle of insidious poison, purifying 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 hu mours, and in a wanner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their astonishing and un equalled powers. They neither contain mercury norany other mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery —they requiro na 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 to have recourse to the Hygeian Herb Pills, for when taken before the disease bas made its appearance it acts as a certain preventive, by moving the complaint e ff ec t ua lly an d secre tl y. The deplor able slate in which many persons have been when visiting the proprietor, float the use of mercury, renders it impera tively necessary to caution the public against that dangerous mineral when injudiciously administered. These Pills should form a portion of all Medicine Chests, by sea and land, and ought never to be omitted by any person going a long voyage or journey, their properties are such that neither heat nor cold will injure their quality, or pre vent the due effects on the constitution. Dr. Davieson will attend daily at his resid ence , f ros t s Ri g ht in the morning until Ten at nig ht, (on Sundays from Nin till Two,) where he gives advice to all applicants taking any ofhis preparations, wtTstot T A PEE.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. (From the Standard of Saturday.) WAR WITH THE RUSSIANS, As we are going to press we are favoured by the Proprietor of the United Service Gazette with the following most im portant information—one of many favours from the' same kind friend, which we have to acknowledge with gratitude:— (Front the United Service Gazette of this day.) The following intelligence, which we have received this morning (exclusively, we believe,) from Indi a , i s o f th e highest importance: 2 . ,0,0(X) men have taken the field again s t the Russians. who are marching against Cabool-25;000 men from Bengal, and 5000 trout Bombay. Our troops are to take possession of Herat. Cahoot, and Candahar. A treaty has been entered into 'between the Governor-General and Hunjeet Singh. "The following troops were under orders for this service, according to the Delhi Gazette of 15th August, Agra Ukbar 18th August, and Bombay Gazette of Sept. 1 : "Two troops of Horse Artillery. "Major Pew's Camel Battery. "Two Companies of European Foot Artillery. "Two Companies of Sappers. " Her Majesty's 16th Lancers. "Second, Third, and Fourth Regiments of Bengal Light Cavalry. I Her Majesty's Third Regiment of Foot. Her Majesty's 13th Regiment of Foot. Honourable East India Company's European Vegiment. "2d, sth, 16th, 17th, 27th, 28► h, 31st, 35th, 37th, 42d, 43d, 48th, and 53d Regiments "of Bengal Native Infantry. "This force is to assemble at Kurnaul on the 31st of Octo bet, and thence proceed via Bhutuer, Bhawnlpore, and Mithenkate, to Candahar, Caboul, and Herat." The mail brought by this conveyance cannot be expected in London until Tuesday, the 13th November, by the Iberia steamer, in consequence of the damage to the Royal Tar steamer. The mail via Marseilles may be expected in Lon don on Monday morning. The mails from ludia, com mencing 27th September, 18.37, up to, and including, 4th June, 18.38, have averaged 64 days in their transit vi a Mar seilles, and 61 days via - Falmouth. (From the Bombay Gazette, Sept. 12.) Captain Wade, political agent, returned to Louisiana on the 23d August, from Lahore, where he had settled everything to his satisfaction with Runjeet Singh respecting the opera tions of the approaching campaign; only 5000 of our troops will be pushed on into Candahar and Cabul, with the forces of Shah Soojah, to assist in rescating the ex-king upon the guddee., With regard to the advance of the Russians upon Khiva, we may say that this circumst ance was fi rm l y b e li eve d at Delhi, though not officially known, and that it was gene rally believed that this advance accounted for the non-ad vance of the Usbecks to the relief of Herat. Shah Soojab's force is to consist of five battalions of regular infantry, each 800 strong, and two rrgiments of irregular h orse , w i t h guns attached; each corps is to have a captain and one subaltern. Upwards of 600 men have already been enlisted at Loodenah, besides others who have been enlisted at the different stations in Upper India. One of the corps of irregular horse is to be raised by Lieut. Nicholson at Delhi, where Captain Macan is now enlisting men for the infantry. Captain Anderson, it is said, is to have the command of one of the corps of irre gular horse. Captain Wade, political agent, passed through Loodeanah on the 15th of August, for Lahore, for the pur pose of presenting the treaty which had been signed by the Governor General to lionjeet SingL : the gallant captain was expected back to Loodeanala by the 20th or 21st of August. The following is from a second edition of the Morning Post; we have neither time nor room for commentary : REPORTED DEFEAT OF THE PERSIAN FORCES BEFORE HERAT. Her Majesty's steam-packet Blazer arrived at Malta on the 14th of October, at night, bringing news from Bombay to the 12th of September. Reports bad reached India of the defeat of the Persian forces before Herat, in which it appeared some Russians had assisted, the death of a Russian general officer being mentioned. Although no official ac counts had reached Calcutta, it seems that the plans and intrigues of Russia were placed beyond doubt, and must have been very extensive, since we learn that the papers which have fallen into the hands.of the government establish that she was dabbling with ail the powers and princes to the northward, and it was believed that Russian emissaries had been sent to the Burmese by another route. The Rajah of Sattarah was quite under the influence of Russia. The must active warlike preparations were visible in all the presidencies. Troops from Bengal to the amount of 25,000 men, and 5,000 from Bombay, were to march towards Cabool, and the Nepattlese were to be watched by a force from M‘- dras. The Indian government, in fact, had shown a deter mination to exhibit activity and energy, in order to overawe, if possible, the northern provinces; but the greatest uneasi ness was manifest, and the. natives did not hesitate to declare their satisfaction at the prospect of the arrival of the Russians, and the probability of their having new masters. TURKEY. Letters from Constantinop e had been received in Malta to the 7th of September. An active correspondence had been carried on between Lord Ponsonby and Admiral Sir Robert Stopford, who remained cruizing off the mouth of the Darda nelles, with the united squandrous, British and Turkish. from the 29th of September to about the 4th of October. It was understand that the subject of this correspondence was the new treaty of commerce on which Reschid Pacha bad been sent on a mission to London, or rather upon the consequence of this treaty should it be ratified by the British ministry. The grain trade of the Russian ports in the Black Sea, it seems, will be materially injured thereby, and the Russian Minister having made strong remonstrances against it, accompanied by some hints almost amounting to threats, for the purpose of intimidating the Sultan, Lord Ponsonby had invited the British Admiral to Constantinople, and stated that it :night be necessary that the British squadron should appear there also. Sir Robert Stopford, however, it appears, did not im mediately comply with this request, as the British and Turkish squadrons were seen entering the Gulf of Smyrna on the 6th of October, where it was believed the Admiral would wait events. By all accounts our government has again an oppor tunity of striking down the ruinous influence of Russ►a in Constantinople, ►f our ministers have but firmness; and the time is probably near when the treacherous treaty of Unkiar Skelessy may be put to the proof. SPAIN. (From the Paris Correspondent of the Standard.) Mv Madrid correspondent writes, under date Oct. 18, that the Minister of the Interior still retained his functions, al though it was generally reported that he bad given in his resignation. It is, however, certain that Alaix has refused to accept the War Department; in fact, his presence in the capital at a moment when Narvaez, his personal enemy, excited universal attention, would have been embarrassing. The troops of Navaez are still cautoned in the environs of Madrid, while the Carltsts are making incessant incursions on the territories of Toledo and d' Avila. The latter occupy Leganez, Carabauchel, and Baltecas. 'Twelve generals, con voked for the purpose of taking into consideration a plan of campaign recommended by Narvaez, have decided on its adoption. 50,000 uniforms, for the Army of the Centre, are in a state of preparation, payment for which is to be made by a bill of exchange on the house of Rothschild. Letters from Caspe of the 14th say, that Cabrera had sur rounded that town, and was waiting for his siege artillery in order to commence the attack. • The Cellist chief Epasanio Carrion has issued a proclama tion in different districts of Valencia and Leon, announcing his intention to act with the utmost rigour against the in habitants devoted to the Queen's cause who might fall into his hands. In consequence of this menace the Christino authorities have resolved on retaliation if the menace should be put into execution. CRACOW. Private letters from Cracow convey the details of the late horrible events in that devoted city. These - letters state that the unfortunate youth Lewicki, who succumbed in conse quence of the horrible punishment inflicted on him by the "protecting Powers," was innocent, He was passing near to the place at the instant in which, as our readers already know, a Russian spy was assailed by assassins. The wretched man cried out repeatedly for "help" (for he did not fall until pierced with 20 wounds). • Lewicki, alarmed, fled precipitate. ly, and in consequence incurred suspicion, which occasioned his being immediately arrested. Several respectable persons, however, stated that they knew him to be a respectable youth, a student, and incap a bl e o f cr i me. He was accordingly- liberated; but he himself gave his name and address. Dur ing the night the police arrested him. He was tied up and scourged with sticks. After having received 80 blows he was observed to become faint, and was taken down, when it was discovered that his sufferings and contortions had pro duced hernia. He died shortly after of inflammation arising from that cause, protesting his innocence. FRENCH BLOCKADE OF MEXICO. (From the New Orleans Bee, Sept. 29.) A commercial house of this city has had the kindness to communicate to us the following letter from Vera Cruz, re ceived yesterday by way of Havannah. It leaves no doubt that the end of the drama is near at hand. " Vera Cruz, 27th August. —W e are unable to tell how the present crisis will end. Different rumours are constantly circulating respecting the state of affairs. We think, how ever, that the arrival of the expected reinforcements will soon resolve the question. Preparations are making in this city. Parapets have been erected on the principal edifices and houses in the vicinity of the harbour. The troops which have been stationed on the route between Jalapa and Vera Cruz have been ordered to repair to this city. There are almost daily departures : nearly all the principal families have left the cily, and the middle classes are following their example. They are beginning to talk about sending us (the French) into the interior. The commandant, we are informed, has received orders to this effect, and will, doubtless, execute them at the first appearance of the new reinhtteementg. "Several more brigs of war have arrived. A frigate, the Astrea, from Martinique, returned thither some days ago. " The naval reinforcements are expected towards the end of September. "The Administration and the Congress ascribe to each other the fault of bringing on the present state of affairs. In the meantime, the newspapers continue tbeir ungenerous articles against tho French. " All the archives and the plate of the churches have been sent to Jalapa." REVOLUTION IN PERU. The Baltimore American, received by the George Washing ton, contains late intelligence from the Pacific. dated Guav aquil, Aug . . 6, from which it appears, that another revolution had hl'oken out iu Peru. " We are sorry to inform you, that Peru is again in a la mentable state of•revolution. The vessel that sailed from Cal Lao on the 26th informs us, that the revolution was de clared on the 28th, and, by an arrival from Payta since then, the same is confirmed ; that all the north of Peru, which includes the departments of Libertad, Janin, Huaylas, and Pierra, • had declared against the confederation. Generals vela and Siema had marched on Lima with, 2,500 men, and had arrived at Chancay, about four leagues from .Lima, where they were joined by General Obregoso, the President of. Peru, with six hundred cavalry from Lima, to complete the combination, and declare the revolution against the Pro tectoral Government of General Santa Cruz. There are two battalions of Bolivian troops stationed at Lima, and General Miller, Governor of Callao, and General Moran, who has commanded the naval forces, have been considered staunch friends of Santa Cruz; how they will act we do not know yet, but it is likely they will ende a vour either to. put the revolution down or hold out in the castles of Callao, as Miller was putting water and provisions in the castles. "Gen. Santa Cruz is in Bolivia, and had a considerable force there, and, should no revolution be made against.him there, he will nut give up the ship without trying his strength. The expedition from Chili, consisting of thirty-three tran sports with 5.000 men, including soldiers and sailors, no doubt sailed from Valparaiso on the 4th ult., as, by accounts from there of the 3d, a part of the army had already embarked, and, no doubt, long ere this, have arrived on some part of the coast of Peru, to co-operate with the revolutionary party in Lima." -- ATTACK ON MONTE VIDEO. The Baltimore American, received by the George Washing ton, contains later intelligence from the River Plate than had previously reached this country. "By the brig Mento, Wiley, at this port, yesterday, in forty-two days from Monte Video, we have received papers of that city to the 17th August. Captain Wiley reports, that, on the morning-he sailed from Monte Video, the invading army (insurgents) commenced an attack on the city at five o'clock a.in., and continued until ten a.m., when they were repulsed with considerable loss. The attacking force wa s waiting the arrival of two more divisions of their army, when it was expected they would be able to capture the city. The entrance of cattle into the city was stopped the day before. We have been furnished with the following extract of a let ter, dated Monte Video, 15th August, 1838. —Our last advices were of the 30th June, since when, the blockade of Buenos Ayres continuing, all vessels arrived since our last have been obliged to remain at this port as before; but, notwithstanding, prices of imports have been sustained better than could have been expected. This may be partly attributed to the continual running of small craft between this and Buenos Ayre3, and other ports of thusegprovinces, owing to the moderation thus far exercised on the part of the French ; but, should they be come more severe, and make prizes of all the capture in this traffic, it will reduce it very much, and the lessened demand thereby will be sensibly felt in our market. "• 1 he civil war here appeared lately to be approaching a crisis, from the reverses which the government party met with, and we had hoped to have seen peace shortly restored. We think this, however, very doubtful now, and that it may still be of some duration : meantime, the opposing party are so near as to threaten the city itself with a siege.' " • SOUTH CHESHIRE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. The first show of stock by the members of this society took place at Nantwich, on Thursday, in some extensive premises in \'Veieh•ruw. Some good cart horses were exhibited. The show of sheep, pigs, and dairy cows far surpassed what might have been anticipated at the society's first annual meeting, Several fine hulls were on the ground, and for that class of stock premiums were awarded, Among the extra stock shown were two Neapolitan pigs, an Indian heifer, and a fine fat boar, by Lord Viscount Combermere; a bull, by Michael Bott, Esq., one of the oldest agriculturalists in the county; and a dairy cow, by Mrs. Farber, of Badeley Hall. The Members and their friends were admitted to see the stock at twelve o'clock, and the public at one o'clock, on payment of a small sum, which added much to the funds of the society. At four o'clock about two hundred agriculturists sat down to dinner in a temporary building erected in the yard of the Lamb Inn. The room was tastefully decorated with ever greens, flags, and transparencies. On one of the latter was the well-known motto— " Success to the spade, the sickle, and flail, May landlords ever flourish, and tenants ne'er fail." Lord Viscount Combermere took the chair. Amongst other gentlemen present were Sir Philip Egerton, Bart , M.P., George Wilbraham, Esq., M.P., Edward Corbett, Esq., of Darnall Hall. J. F. France, Esq., of Bitstock Hall, John 'foltemache, Esq., Col. Ford. John B. Gregg, Esq., James Hammond, Esq,, Col. Tomkinson, James Totnkin son, Esq., of Daveuhaw, John H. Harper,Esq., Major Swe tenhaw, Fras. Ford, Esq., James Bayley, jun., Esq., Wm. Cooper, Esq., Wm. Salmon, Esq., Wm. Court, sen., Esq., Win. ourt, jun. Esq., Win. Penn, Esq., James Skerratt, Esq., John Armstrong, Esq., Samuel Sporston, Esq., Richard Edelstou, Esq., Thomas Cooper, Esq., M. Butt, Esq.. the Rev. G. Clayton, the Rev. R. J. Wilson, the Rev. J. Older shaw, &c., &c. The vice-president was George Wilbraham, Esq., M.P. Sir Philip Egerton and J. B. Gle,gg, Esq., took the head of other tables. The dinner consisted of every lux ury, and the way in which it was served reflected great credit upon the landlord of the inn. On the the cloth being drawn, " The Queen," " The Queen Dowager and the rest of the Royal Family," " The Navy and the Army," were given by the chairman. The toasts were drank with three times three, and the national anthem sung by the company. The Chairman, in rising to propose the next toast, " Suc cess to the North Cheshire Agricultural Society," observed that he was much pleased when he heard that it was intended to form au agricultural association, as it was a thing much wanted in that county. He was convinced that it would prove advantageous to both landlords and tenants, and of one thing he was quite certain, that, at this their first show of cattle and other stock, much had been accomplished. There yet remained a great deal more to be done, and he trusted that every landed proprietor would endeavour to carry the intentions of the society into effect.. His habits of life had been widely different from those whom be had the pleasure to see around him; as an ainature he was fond of farming, and it gave him great pleasure to see the improvements that had taken place in that good old county. He hoped, by the advantages that would result from his connexion with the society, to become a better farmer; but whether he did or did not, they should continue to have his support. (Cheers.) The toast was drank with three times three and great en thusiasm. Mr. Martin, the secretary, then read over the names of the successful competitors for the society's premiums :--Mr. Gardner, of London, who had been appointed as judge of cheese, awarded the premium of £2O to Mr. Samuel Rickett, of Aston, for the best dairy of cheese not less than 501bL weight each; to Mr. Thomas Hall, of Warningham, the premium of £lO for cheese of 201hs. weight; and to Mr. George Silvester, of New-hall, the premium of £5 for the second best dairy of cheese of 20ibs. weight. BEST CULTIVATED FARMS To Mr. Joseph Woolf. of Haslington flail, as tenant upon a rack-rent of a farm 800 acres in extent, in the best and most complete management, the premium of £l5.

The premium of £2 for the best breeding sow under 18 months, was awarded to Mr. flavenscroft, of Leighton. Entries were made for three sweepstakes. That for the best short horned heifer, two years old, was awarded to Mr. Martin, of Henhull Cot tage, Ditto, one year old, to Mr. Prescott. For the best pair of horses to Mr. Robinson, Legh Green Church; M in shull. Premiums were also awarded to labourers in husbandry, male and female servants, and cottage tenants. The judges of the stock were Mr. Robert Walker, agent to Mr. Jeffery, of Chillington, Mr. Denham, agent to Lord Wilton, and Mr. Crane, agent to Sir It. Puleston, Bart. Mr. Martin, the secretary, afterwards announced that the funds of the society were in a most prosperous state, there being a fund of at least £250 in hand, after paying the past year's expenditure, and premiums awarded at the present show. Mr. Wilbraham, the vice-president, in a highly compli mentary and flattering speech, proposed the health of the chairman, Lord Combermere, the president of the society. Due honour having been done the toast, The Chairman returned thanks. He said it was only a few 3 - ears since he had turned his sword into a ploughshare; therefore he could only be inexperienced in agricultural mat ters, and unfit to preside at such a meeting as the present, composed as it was of all grades and classes; but he could only again assure there; that he would do all in his power to promote and forward the' views of the association. He wished to impress upon their minds the necessity of attending to Bair? Matters, as cheese was the staple commodity of the county. His first advice to them was, to keep the. "cold steel" (the. ploughshare) out of the land as much as possible, as during the late war the land had teen worked much more than it ought to have been, and drain and manure it well. In his lordship's opinion the best manure was bones; but it was necessary to dry the land well first, and not to put bone manure upon newly laid down grass, as it would produce no effect. His lordship bad some land on his own estate, which was formerly not more than lOs an acre, and the application of bone manure had increased its value to 35s an acre. It was cold clay land, but dry; and with such a soil bone ma nure agreed admirably, H e had been told, and he feated with some truth, that Cheshire cheese was not now to be obtained so fine in quality as formerly; the falling off in quality his lordship attributed to the use of the screw press, in place of the good old custom of truiching ; and he much wished he could prevail upon the ladies to return to the old system, as the whey could not be got out with the screw so well as by the method to which ha alluded. Mr. Wilbraham, in thanking the company for drinking his health, which was given from the chair, drew a comparison between the state of agriculture generally 25 years ago and the present period. Formerly, the pigs sent from Ireland strongly resembled greyhounds, and the sheep had all the fine points of the race-horse—as regarded bone and sinew— well adapted for the latter, but not quite the sort of animal for good mutton —(great laughter;)—now, the animals sent from that country were far superior, and, no doubt, these im proyements iii the breed had been brought about by means of societies like the present, the advantages resulting from which were equally evident in Norfolk, the Highlands, and other places where they bad been established. Sir Philip Egerton, on the health of the members for the county being drank, acknowledged the toast. Shortly before seven o'clock the noble chairman gave "The separated.o beshireD airy-maids," and the company soon after wards • VAN DIEMEN'S LAND ANNUAL, FOR 1838.—8 y the statis tical tables in this volume, we perceive that the free popula tion is gradually, though not rapidly, increasing, the total number-of -free inhabitants in Lan Dienien's Land -at the close of 1837, being 21,649, and in 18:38, they amounted to 2.3,24-1, being an increase in one year of 1,595 free settlers. The religious sects amount to eight, viz., of Church of Eng land Protestants there are 16.094; Church of Scotland, 2,551; of Rome, 2,218; LY eslevans, 1,289; Baptists, 175; hide pendents, 635; Quakers, 90; Jews, 132. • There is also a re turn of the convict population, which amounted, at the close of December, 1836, to 15,400. males; the females were 2,196. Al the end of December, 1837, the males had increased to 15,606, but the females were only 2,086, showing a decrease in this class of 110. Thus we have a grand total of 41,512 persons. The capital, Hobart Town, consists of twenty-one streets, containing 1,817 houses; of these eighty have been built since last yew's returns. There is also a list of imports and exports between other countries, from which it appears that, in 1837, the imports at Hobart Town amounted to nearly £350,000, at Launceston to nearly £200,000. The exports from Hobart'llown about £250,000 ; from Launceston above £260,000. and both export and lin:pOrt trades appear tube in cleating, but not in any .xtraordinary manner. rlje Eibtrpool TUESDAY MORNING, OCT. 30, 1838.

RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS -The Banks i n t hi s city yesterday (says the Savannah Georgian, of the 2nd in stant,) resumed specie payments. Everything has passed off quietly. So far from runs being made on the Banks, de posits of specie have been made-a fact illustrative of 4he abundance of the precious article, and the confidence of the people in the Banks. THE CROPS.—The St. Martinsville Gazette of the 21st ult. says on this subject :—" It is pleasing to hear from all quar ters that the crops of cane, cotton, and corn will be unusually good this year. The late refreshing rain ill have a very good effect npon the cane crop, though it has come rather late; the cane has, however, one month more to grow and ripen, before grinding time. Cotton is very 'fine, and pick ing is going on very rapidly The season has been remark ably favourable, so far, and all that our planters may desire now, is good prices, good demand, and good" money, whi c h we sincerely hope they.will realize." We have been informed, that his Excellency the Earl of Durham has expressed a wish that Sir John Colborne should immediately assume the administration of the Govern men t of Lower Canada; and that it is the intention of his Lout ship, during the rest of his residence in the Province, merely to exercise his functions as High Commissioner in British North America. Colonel Cooper, the Military Secretary of the Earl of Durham, came passenger iu the Canada steam boat from Quebec to Sorel, and it is understood that his visit to Sir John Colborne is connected with the proposetl ar rangements of the Earl of Durham.—Montreal Gazelle. (From the New York Gazette, Oct. 10.) A DESTRCCTIVE FIRE IN CiNciNNATI—The Cincinnati Whig, of October 4th, says:—A destructive fire occurred in our city yesterday afternoon. It commenced about half-past two, and raged near an hobr. All the' houses - lronting - vn the west side of Walnut-street for about a square south of (he corporation line were consumed. They were - mostly, if not altogether, owned and inhabited by Germans, many of whom, we understand, are thrown destitute upon the com munity. The depositing of hot ashes in a box or barrel in the cellar was the cause of the fire. Every exertion was made by our citizens, Whigs, Natives, and Locofocos, to arrest the flames. Montreal Herald says the population of Lower Canada may be estimated at about 520,000, that of Upper Canada at 350,t00, and that of the two races in both Provinces at 400,000 French and 470,000 English. The population of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward's island, and Newfoundland is about 30,000. (From the New York 'Gazette, Oct. 11.)

ARRIVAL OF THE ROYAL WILLIAM, BRITISH STEAM PACKET, _ _ TWELVE DAYS LATER FRO3I ENGLAND. • The steam ship Royal William, Captain Swainson, R.N., arrived yesterday in 191 days from Liverpool, by which we have received our regular files of London papers to the 19ili of September, Lloyd's lists to the same date, and Liverpool papers to the 20th. The Royal William left Liverpool on the 20th, and had a rough passage. She was out of fuel two days before her arrival, and was under the necessity of burn ing every combustible on board, casks, spars, planks. &c. &c. Having on board no less than 68 pasengers, there was also some privation in the matter of provisions. (From the Nor, Herald, October 7th.) VESSEL BURNT.—The brig Patriot, Capt. Hawley, of this port, bound to New York, with a cargo of pine fuel, while lying at anchor in the bite of Gainey Island (four miles be low the town) on Saturday night, caught fire about nine o'ctock, and we regret to state, was entirely destroyed. We learn that all hands were ashore, except the Captain, who did not discover the fire until it had spread entirely beyond his control. The fire is stated to have caught from the camboosse, through the carelessness of the cook. The French frigate Astree, and the U. S. frigate Macedonian, promptly des patched boats to the assistance of the burning vessel, but be fore they could reach her, the fire had complete possession fore and aft, and running up the masts and rigging, exhibited a lofty pyramid of flame—a spectacle of melancholy mag nificence, interesting, though painful to contemplate. The brig was towed into shoal water, where her hull, with its com bustible cargo, continued to feed the relentless dames during the night and part of the next day. The Patriot was owned by Mr. F. Bigelow, of Ibis borough, and we.learn,.is 'insured by the year in one of the Duston ofiisee. . -. . From the New York Gazette, Oct. 12.) We understand that the agents of the Royal William hrve decided upon changing her day of sailing from the 18th to the 20th, (Saturday) at two o'clock, at which time she will positively sail. But a limited number of passengers will be taken. A great meeting was held in Quebec on Wednesday of last week, for the purpose of expressing the public opinion on the retirement of Lord Durham from his station, expressing the highest confidence in the wisdom of his administration of the Coionial Government, and their apprehension of the conse quences that will tesult from his abrupt departure. We find nothin , ,_ however, in the Quebec p a p ers , indi c ative of the Go vernor' General's determination on that subject. Whether he goes or stays is 'as doubtful now as it was before we re ceived the last Canada papers. Lieutenant Governor Arthur, of the upper province, was on a visit to Lord Durham. The probability is, that the Earl will return to England and leave the colonies in charge of Sir John Colborn; who, if we mis take not his mettle, will be quite as apt to keep the peace as his noble predecessor. ( From the New York Gazette, October 13.) SEA ISLAND Chop.—The Charleston Mercury says, that at a regular quarterly meeting of the St. Andrew's Agricul tural Society, held on the 2nd inst., the committee of in spection, after diligently going over and examining all the crops on James's Island, report as the result of their in vestigation, that the cotton crop in that section of the parish, will not exceed 65lbs. ginned cotton per acre, less than the half of a fair average crop.

TITULAR NPHALE AND THE IRISH SYSTEM or EDU CATION.—In our last we commented, at some length, upon the recent epistle of Dr. Murray, in justification of the Irish System of National Education. We now proceed, in fulfilment of our promise, to offer a few additional strictures on the flaming, denunciations of that system which appear in .the last letter of the usurping priest of Tuam. • It has recently been the boast of our radical con temporaries that "the school question has been set at rest for ever." This boast has been also frequently echoed 133 fr more than one of our liberal town•council lors, whilst addressing the different ward meetings of their reforming constituents. The letter before us furnishes us with the means of proving that, in the Protestant town of Liverpool, the school question can never be set at rest until the Irish system is finally banished from the corporation schools. As vie like plain dealing, we shall at once apprise our radical opponents, and all who aid and abet them in seeking to perpetuate among us this infamous and unchristian ising system, that we shall continue to agitate for its expulsion from the public schools of the town. We shall do this, because we feel it to be a duty impe ratively incumbent upon us to labour fur the extirpa- on of this anti- Protestant and anti- Bible scheme, The introduction of this system into the Corporation Schools is avowedly an ,experirnent—an incipient measure—a first lodgement of the wedge which is de signed to sever the affections of the British public from the established church and religion of the coun try. Upon the permanent success or the ultimate failure of this daring experiment will depend, in a great measure, the adoption or the rejection of a si milar system of national education for England. Those who have advocated the Irish system in this town, and who have t ontributed towards its establishment in the schools supported by the corporate funds, have not hesi tated to say that they look upon its introduction into those schools as - a preliminary step to its incorporation in a system of national education. Whilst this ulterior design is openly avowed, we cannot permit our adver saries to boast that "the school question has been set at rest for ever." A great principle is involved in the discussion of this vestion. It is thk—whether the Bible shall or shall not be the basis of popular educa tion. The alternative proposed by the liberals is, that the Bible shall be excluded. This alternative has been suggested by the Runtish priests. No other plan will satisfy them. They dread the Bible, because its free and unrestricted perusal by the people would bring their craft into danger, by exposing the errors and su perstitions of their apostate church. This dread of the Bible pervades the whole of Dr. APHale's letters. He appears to be excessively sensitive on the subject. He would not even have an expurgated edition of that "dangerous book'; introduced into any school frequented by the " children of the faithful." He would not have an extract,' a leaf, or even a text of the holy scriptures put before the children, unless doled out by a Popish teacher, accompanied by such comments as would tend to neutralise its salutary ef fects. That this is no exaggeration his own letter affords the most ample proof. The last missive from the threatening titular of Timm is extremely discursive. The variety of the topics upon which he dilates is so great that we must leave some of them unnoticed, for the sake of doing something like justice to his remarks on the Irish sys tem of education. The letter (for which we have no room) is addressed to Lord John Russell, and com mences with a candid declaration that the Irish tithe act has been received by all classes of the Papists of that country with abhorrence—that it is a " delusion" to expect that it will pacify the people of Ireland—that such a hope could not be entertained " without him- Oiling that the Irish people had lost all their sensibi lity to oppression, or that they would patiently endure all their former wrongs, provided they were called by another name"—and that " if the Roman Catholics of Ireland be doomed to pass under the vcke of an alien and oppressive establishment, it matters nothing to them whether it is to the landlord or the parson they are coerced to pay the tribute of their religious servi tude." This is, certainly, plain dealing, and affords a full corroboration of our oft-repeated assertion, that the Papists of Ireland would never consent to any other arrangement than the final extinction of tithes in name and substance, and the' extirpation of the "alien" Protestant Church. If there were any room for doubt on this subject, it would surely' be removed by the very explicit language employed by WHale,- speaking, as he does, the lan .guage Of . the ROtnish heirarchy and the whole Popish population. • He.says, "Again and again have the people in an endleSS variety of petitions and solemn tegol declaredtions,,: that under Ito name or form which it might assume t ic - oo!#=',fhey consent to pay this exe crable tribute, and sealed this declaration with their blood." With respect to the tithe act he further says, "An attempt is made to perpetuate it under a less ob noxious name ;" but that "no sooner is tithe recog nised under the appellation of rent charge, than the latter is assailed with the same hatred which was rected to the former, and significant indications given that the same feeling may extend to the whole of the rent roll." To obviate the latter he sass that " the landed gentry come forward to mingle and sympathise with the occupiers in the expression of their utter de testation of the new measure." Read and ponder over thise 'disciples .expediency, and say what ye now think-of attempting•to rule the unprincipled Po pish rabble of Ireland on the principles of conciliation and concession 7 Have -your concessions been produc five of anYgOO4?' Has Catholic emancipation paci fied Ireland ? Has the conversion of tithes into rent charge, accompanied with a sweeping plunder of the church of one•third of its revenues, satisfied the peo ple of Ireland? Let APHale answer the question. But let us further ask, is it not time that we should begin to legislate for Ireland on other principles than those of concession to the demands of the Popish priests ? Where is concession to end ? Are we to go on until we have yielded up the Protestant Church and all the rights of the clergy ? Would even that pacify Ireland? We confidently answer, No ! Th ere exists at the present moment in Ireland a widely spread conspiracy for a general alienation of the whole pro perty held by,. the present descendants of the English settlers in that kingdom—for the re -conquest of Ire land—for the annihilation of the influence of Great Britain in that country. All the proceedings of the Catholic Association, in all its Proteus like forms, are rendered subordinate to the consummation of this grand scheme. A few years will show that we are guilty of no libel on the Popish population of Ireland while we continue to assert the existence of this con spiracy. Sir Harcourt Lees and ot hers have offered to prove its existence before both houses of Parliament. The day is not far distant when their evidence will be required. But to proceed' with Mr. :'Male's letter. He re. iterates his assertion that the landlords have resolved to make common cause with the people in resisting the tithe act, alleging that they have " leagued themselves with their tenantry, in constitutional compact," and that they are at length determined "never to cease their exertions until they achieve a legal and peaceful triumph over the common foe." This is the fruit pf cunOlj : ationl tot ilea. of the ."approriatisit clause." He tells Lord John Russell that the longer he delays the complete settlement of the tithe ques tion, (that is•their utter extinction in name and sub stance) by contracting the establishment to the wants of its adherents, and appropriating its revenues to useful purposes, the deeper will be his embarrass ment. In his denunciations of the Protestant mission at Achill Dr. M‘Hale indulges in the most furious lan guage. He has evidently been made to feel that Po pery will not stand the test of examination. He says that "the English and Irish public are deceived and insulted by the lying accounts of trading missionaries, who cross land and sea to make one convert, and when they convert him, make him a child of hell." We recommend this mild specimen of Popish aspersion to the especial notice of our radical contemporaries, who have lately been so lavish of their abuse of the Pro• testant clergy who ventured to denounce Popery at the meeting of the Reformation Society. In the following passage we see all the persecuting rancour of Popery bursting forth. Speaking of the Achill mission Dr. M'Hale exclaims, " Surely such a disgraceful traffic must be rebuked, it will be said, by the proprietor of the soil or the government of the country. The proprietor appears of late to be en tirely absorbed in religious concerns, and to feel more anxiety for the spiritual than the temporal interests of his numerous tenantry. As for the government, there is no es idence that they discourage a scheme which is productive of much annoyance to the inhabitants and must lead to the worst cf consequences. The coast guards are all under their control, and it appears that some of that body have been as zealous in guarding the natives against the horrors of Popery as they have been in protecting her Majesty's revenue." From this language it is impossible to draw any other inference than that this ttue sort of the church is anxious to put down the Achill mission by the strong arm of power. He would have the missionaries forcibly expelled from the scene of their labours. From the abuse of the Achill mission, which seems to be a thorn in his side, M'Hale launches into a whole sale denunciation of the Irish system of education. His anger on this subject scarcely knows any controul. He has not a single good word to say for it. Of one of its teachers, appointed, we presume, by mistake, in his own diocese, he says, " an unprincipled creature, once a Catholic," but who seems to have alternately personated a Catholic and a Protestant, " was the very individual," in the opinion of the board, " fitted for such a place ;" for we learn that "so completely did he illustrate in his own person the religious liar. mony that is aimed at in their system, that to please the priest he went to mass on Sundays, and on Fri days eat meat with the Protestant pastors, to show what a fit medium he was to reconcile religious dis cordance!" The titular is evidently "a whole hog" man. He would not even have a single Protestant teacher to he employed in the national schools, even though his Protestantism might sit so lightly upon hint as to permit him to attend the mass on Sundays. To "eat meat on Fridays" is an offence so grave in the eyes of M'Hale that it at once disqualifies a person for the office of instructor of the " children of the faithful." Who will say, after this, that Popery is al tered—that " the improved spirit of t'he age" has tended to purge it of its pristine intolerance and su perstition ? A comparison between several parts of the letters of Dr. M'Hale and Dr. Murray respectively will fur nish us with some curious illustrations of the working of the Irish system of education. For instance, Dr. M'Hale alleges that the Roman Catholic bishops of Ireland have come to "solemn resolutions regarding the choise and dismissal of teachers." Dr. Murray, on the other hand, distinctly states that the present operation of the system is perfectly satisfactory to the majority of the Irish bishops of his persuasion. What is the evident conclusion ? That these bishops are vir Wally in possession of the power of choice and dis missal of the teachers. Dr. M'Haie again urges that the inspectors should be Papists, and that no others would satisfy the Popish hierarchy. Dr. Murray re plies by saying that the majority of the inspectors are Roman Catholics. We should like to be informed what proportion among them are Protestants. Dr. M'Hale objects to the Scripture Lessons, and declaims against " the unbounded range of invidiously insinu ating their pernicious doctrines, which the vague and indefinite interrogatories at the end of these lessons" afford the Protestant inspectors. Dr. Murray removes this objection by stating that the adoption or rejection of the Scripture Lessons is perfectly optional with the Catholic priests, and that they may substitute for them other "approved and unobjectionable books." Do the English advocates of the system need any fur ther proofs of its entire subserviency to the purposes of the Popish priests ? But it appears, after all, that the System is not ye sufficiently under the control of the priests : for Dr. M'Hale informs us, respecting the clergy of his own diocese, that " impressed with the conviction that persons profeSsing their creed cannot be tit teachers for those of a different religion, they came to the wise resolution of never suffering the children to be under the controul of Protestant masters and inspectors, the latter of whom must exercise a dangerous influence on the simple minds of unsuspecting children." His principle is asserted to be identical with that of St. Paul when he " cautioned the faithful even to avoid a heretic." And yet, after using this stong language, this fiery bigot cantingly remarks " we feel neither contempt nor hatred for any on account of their re ligious opinions—they are objects of our charitable sympathies." Is the conduct of Dr.- M'Hale in re ference to the Achill missionaries any proof of this vaunted candour and forbearance ? Is the advice which he gave to drive away tire " miscreants" with pitchforks to be taken as a proof of the "charitable sympathies" which he entertains ? From such tender mercies may we be ever delivered The advice which Dr. M'Hale gave to the masters in his diocese to refuse admission to the inspectors is a consummate proof of his unbearable impudence. This, however, is exceeded by the assertion that the Board " cannot be released from the charge of ec clesiastical insubordination, by writing to a clergyman to dismiss a master in opposition to the commands of his bishop !" If the Board should resolve to withdraw their grants from those schools which are under the influence of Dr. M'Hale, he gives them, and government a tolera bly broad hint of the consequences which may be ap prehended. He says that "if they withdraw the grant, he must be allowed to warn Lord John Russell "tha half a million of the people and their faithful repre sentatives may soon withdraw their confidence from a government which would encourage such covert perse cution." In reference to this threat, the Freeman (a thoroughgoing Popish journal,) remarks :--" His Grace has given a very intelligible hint to the Home Secretary—a hint which his Lordship had better take in time—for we can assure him that Dr. M'Hale is one of the very last men in the world to shrink from what he believes to be his duty. A defalcation of six in a division—and Dr. M'Hale can influence the return of that, if not a greater ?limber, of Irish members—millet be attended with unpleasant conse quences to mitisters." We cannot better express our opinion of this boast than in the emphatic language of our valued contemporary, the Dublin Evening Mail: —" Hear this, ye friends and advocates of Catholic emancipation ! Hear this, ye Roman - Catholic gentry, and laity, who fondly suppose the authority of your priests and bishops to be purely spiritual, and their kingdom not of this world ! Hear this, and answer how it comes to pass that one Roman Catholic bishop nominates to six seats in the Imperial House of Commons, and why it is not to he taken for granted that every Roman Catholic prelate in the country has a similar power in a greater or less degree ? Is this fitting ? Is it safe for a Protestant empire ? Is it favourable to the civil and religious liberty of any communion or persuasion in the state ?" These words ought to convey a warning to every one in this king dom who has been deluded into the vain hope of paci fying the Papists by concessions. We must now. part once more with M`Hale and his fulminating epistles. We have been at some pains to show, from the authority of the Popish hierarchy and priesthood of Ireland, that the Irish system of education, in order to be satisfactory to them, must be essentially Popish. It must be the same in this town. file corporation schools, supported almost exclusively with money derived from the pockets of Protestants, ~ an never be in a satisfactory state to the Popish clergy, unless they become instruments for the spread of Pciliery. THE REv. HUGH 111 4 NEILE AND, HIS CALUSINIATORB. —We beg to call the attention of our readers to a letter in our columns to-day from Mr. A-I'Neile to Dr. Tattershall. W e paid no attention to the venomous abuse of onr contemporaries to which Mr. M'Neile alludes. It has been that rev. gentleman's praise and honour for the last four years, to have an extra share of such abuse. The true cause of it is undoubtedly what he assigns in the conclusion of his letter. He has, with a power and spirit which his adversaries can neither gainsay — nor resist, called the attention of multitudes who were slumbering and careless before, to what Popery was, and is, and, until her boast of infallibility be renounced, - must continue to be—viz., a system of tyranny 'when she dares to tyrannise, and of treachery, duplicity, and falsehood, when " speaking lies in hypocrisy " • can better forward her great object. • We sincerely hope that his labours on this occasion will not be without much effect, and that the virulence of his accusers will lead to such increased attention to 1 ~'~` . , ~ 11nS :he practical intolerance of Roman Catholics in this own, as will accomplish the benevolent and patriotic ntentions of the rev. gentleman.
