Such an " independence" as that which is contemplated under the insidious term of "Repeal of the Legislative Union," cannot be tolerated by Great Britain, and must be absolutely fatal to the people, upon whom it is sought to be conferred. It must be resisted, and it will be resisted, by all the energies, and the vast power of the British nation. But how are these to be applied ? In wh a t mo d e are we to bring the force at ou r di sposed to bear upon the object which we have in view ? Are w e t o re l y upon the arm s of our military, or the p ower of our vast nay?

Consent to receive the slave produce of the Brazils, and Mr. Lawrence Heyworth predicts a vast increase of British exports; but our noble Indian possessions, East and West, our Austra lian possessions and the Canadas are not worth a thought ! No extension of our commerce with these is to be sought, or can be realised. What has ever, before the age of this eminent philosopher, been termed " the colonial greatness of England," for the possession of which every nation in the world would at any moment lay down millions, is no greatness at all ! Is is nothing in comparison with the advantage of a tea and coffee-drinking generation being enabled to put a double quantity of cheap moist or lump into their favourite beverage ! Really Mr. Heyworth is damaging the cause of the anti-monopoly people more than all the protestations, written or spoken, of their opponents. NEW ELECTION FOR ST. PETER'S WARD.—The election of a councillor for St. Peter's Ward, in the place of Mr. Samuel Holme, whose resignation was noticed in our last, takes place this day. We believe there will be no opposition, the Conservatives having judiciously fixed upon a man to whom not the shadow of an objection can be urged by the Liberals, for in all these practical points where the knowledge and expe rience of Mr. Holme were so valuable, a more able substitute could not be found,—namely, Mr. John Stewart, of the late firm of Messrs. Foster and Stewat t. His name carries with it the strongest claim upon the constituency of the ward.

Persons having the right to be put upon the lists of voters for boroughs must take care that all poor rates and assessed taxes, due t , efore the (ith of April last, are paid on or before the 20th of July next. THE COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION.—It will be seen by an advertisement that the delivery of prizes to the pupils iu the schools will take place to-morrow, (Wednesday). After the Venile has been chaunted by the scholars, the Rev. the Senior Rector of the parish will distribute the prizes, of which, besides a great variety of others, the principal are ten guineas, in books given by Lord Francis Egerton, M.P., a scholarship in the middle school, value ten guineas, given by W. Potter, Esq., tenable for one year, and two scholarships in the lower school, value three guineas each, given by Ed ward Molyneux, Esq. RAPID TRAVELLING BETWEEN PARIS AND LIVERPOOL. —A gentleman left Paris on the morning of Wednesday last, at seven o'clock, and arrived in Liverpool at half-past five on Friday morning, performing the journey in forty-six hours and a half, after having remained in Rouen four hours, in Havre•six, and in London four. The route was from Paris to Rouen by railway, from Rouen to Havre by the diligence, from thence to Brighton by the steamer Menai, from Brighton by the railway to London, and to this town, of course, by the railway. The expen se o f th e j ourney was un d er £6, half of which was expended in the fare between London and Liverpool. LECTURES AT TIIE COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION.—On Fri day evening, li. Addams, Esq., delivered his sixth lecture on electricity, in the theatre of the Collegiate Institution, be fore a highly respectable, but not very numerous, audience. The portions of the subject for the evening were, electro printing, electro-magnetic clocks, sounding instruments, and flag signals and telegraphic systems for ships. Previous to the lecture some select pieces were played with much taste on the organ, which is a fine and effective instrument. On the table were a variety of handsome and costly clocks in brass and mahogany, and other apparatus for illustrations, also representations of signal flags, &c. He began by st a ti ng that those w h o h a d at t en d e d the last lecture would remem ler the electro-magnetic telegraph, containing on its face ;he alphabet, and which, when the circular permutation wheel or table at a distance was turned to any required letter, and the electric stream was conveyed from it to a magnet at the back of the clock indicated the same letter to the distant ob server. It was necessary to have these instruments all small, and as delicate as watch-work, otherwise the galvanic battery would fail to move them. The instrument now before them was of a similar nicety in construction, and was Cooke and Wheatstone's electro-printing machine, which would not only communicate any letter of the alphabet, but by the peculiar disposition of printing types in the apparatus, could be made to print wo r d s an d sen t ences (l e t ter b y letter) by the applica tion of electric influence conveyed through wires to the tele graph at a great distance. This was done as in the electro magnetic telegraph, before exhibited, by merely turning the wheel or desk of the permutation table. He explained the construction and operation of this telegraph as it appeared in the working model. It consisted of two pieces of clockwork with weights attached : one clock was intended to take off the friction, and the other to put in motion the type. Behind this there were magnets, so made by voltaic electricity, com municated to them along two copper wires, and which mag nets by means of the momentary attraction given to them caused a small hammer to strike on the end of any printing type of an alphabet, so arranged, that the other end of the type having the letter cast upon it, struck or tapped a little roller in front as it revolved slightly at each operation—thus making a sufficient impression on a thin sheet of paper upon which was laid another sheet blacked with lamp-black and oil, or any suitable substance—similar to the paper used by manifold writers,—so that the black by the slight blow of the type sets off upon the white sheet, and thus prints the letter; and so on with a succession of letters forming words and eventually sentences. When a word was completed the operation was repeated at the next movement of the roller but without a type, so that a space was left as in regular printing between each word. The lines thus printed in a communication of some length did not, however, run right across the paper, but necessarily, from the turning of the roller, a little sloped, though this was so slight that a common observer would scarcely notice it, and it was of little consequence in telegraphic communication. The lines would, in fact, from the repeated turning of the roller, appear of a screw-like form. The whole was worked by a small galvanic battery. The lecturer invited any one present to supply a short sentencee to be printed, and, no one immediately replying, was about to print " Knowledge is power," when a gentleman suggested ' God save the Queen," which Mr. A. printed, by turning the permutation circle, and pressing a small pin to set the electricity in motion along the wires, leaving double spaces between the words for greater distinctness. It was printed on tissue paper, and sufficiently distinct to be perfectly legible. Owing :to his having, by mistake pressed the little pin or key at the letter S rather too long, a second tap was given by the magnetic action at the far end to that letter, so that the word save was printed SSAVE ; but this only showed in a more gratifying man ner the delicacy and accuracy of the apparatus itself, and the necessity of precision in the operator. Great applause fol lowed this experiment. The lecturer observed that such printing was not of course of the best, neither was it in a straight line, and if he were asked whether it could be made available for general purposes, his reply would be " no," for the process was difficult and slow; but :electro-magnetic printing might be highly useful in telegraphic communication, as by means of it parties might send down important orders to a distant station, even during the night, which by a person attending to the machine, might instantly be acted upon.— The lecturer then proceeded to show by fine working models that a number of clocks at different places in a town could, by electro-magnetisrn, be kept going in exact or simul taneous time, with one correct regulating clock. He ex plained the machinery used to produce this effect. There was a face of a regulating clock, the hour hand of which he made to go round, beating for better illustration the seconds. Attached to this was a wheel of brass cut into teeth, with the spaces between filled up with ivory. The wheel turned the hand. The ivory being no conducter the stream of elec tricity was cut off when a spring that pressed lightly on the rim came into contact with it; but when it again touched one of the metallic teeth, the electric action was momentarily renewed, and thus the hand was sent on in successive jerks. Wires communicated with the other clocks which were filled with magnets, and the electric current being alternately passed along and cut off, they too moved on simultaneously. If such a wheel, therefore, were attached to a large astrono mical clock, and wires communicated with other electro magnetic clocks, all of them would be maintained in correct time. But there were some difficulties in reducing the system to practice. The electricity was an uncertain element, and if this were overcome another obstacle had to be en countered, for the contacts of electricity required were numerous, and the heat generated was liable to burn the outer part or teeth of the wheels required (as we understood him,) so that they would have to be frequently renewed at considerable cost. The lecturer then exhibited a very beautiful experiment showing the ap plication of electricity in taking soundings at sea or in rivers. The apparatus was the invention of a gentleman whose name we could not distinctly catch. It was, said the lecturer, im portant to know the precise moment when the lead touched the bottom, which was not always distinctly felt by the per son holding the lead line. The instrument consisted of a rope, along which were passed two isolated copper wires ; at the end was a sort of stirrup, through the bottom part of which the lead or weight (of a heart shape) was so fixed that it would move up and down, by means of a small rod going through a hole in the stirrup. A piece of conducting metal crossed the top of the rod and kept it and the lead attached to it from falling out. When lowered in the water the lead from its own weight hung a little under the stirrup ; but when it touched the bottom, the stirrup moved down upon it, and the cross piece of copper came in contact with another piece of metal that crossed to the top of the stirrup, and the elec tric current being thus united by the wires, the instantaneous effect was the ringing of a little bell, communicating with the wires,—the galvanic battery being of course in action at the time. The experiment was tried twice by lowering the lead from the stage into a vessel of water on the floor below, and as soon as it reached the bottom, a little bell at a considera ble distance was heard to tingle.—The lecturer then explained Lieut. Watson's admirable system of flag signals for vessels, which he illustrated in a very clear and pleasing manner, but as this is generally known, we need not enter into details. He concluded by stating that he had purposed to explain some thermo-electric phenomena, but as the hour of closing his remarks for the night had arrived he should notice the sub ject at the commencement of his next lecture, which,. we may add, will be the last of this interesting series , and will contain some some interesting novelties, as well as recapitulations f the most striking facts and experiments adduced throughout the course INQUEST.—An inquest was held yesterday before Mr. Curry, the borough coroner, on view of the body of Charles Double, an infant. The parents lived in Virgil-street. On Friday night deceased, who was a delicate child, was placed in bed with her parents, and in the morning was found to be dead. From the evidence of the surgeon it appeared that death was caused by suffocation, arising from deceased liting overlain. Verdict—" Accidental Death," accordingly. INQuEsT.—An inquest was on Friday held before P. F. Currie, Esq., at the coroner's office, on view of the body of a child named Catherine Morley, who met with her death in the following manner :—lt appeared that the parents of the deceased, the father being a labourer named Thomas Morley, reside in a cellar, No. 16, Dennison-street, and that, on Wed nesday afternoon, Mrs. Morley went out, leaving the de ceased and some other children in the place. During her absence the coffee kettle had been thrown off the fire, and the'contents had so dreadtully scalded the deceased that she died the next day. Verdict—Accidental death. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.-Mr. Parry, merchant, whose office is in North John-street, laid an information, at the Police-court on Friday, against a lad named John Horton, who appeared about eighteen years of age, for cruelty to two horses which had been placed under his care, and appeared this morning before the magistrates in support of the infdt mation. Mr. Parry stated, that on Wednesday morning he observed the lad beating the horses most unmercifully, par ticularly over the head. The boy, in his defence, said the horses shied at some casks in the passage, and that was the reason he had beaten them,—He was ordered to pay twenty shillings and costs. ROBBING AN EMPLOYER.—A youth, named Thoma Bolton, was brought up before Mr. Rushton yesterday, on a charge of having robbed the office of his master, Mr. Ash worth, in South Castle-street. It appeared that on the Monday previous, after he had opened the office, he took away a seal, a pair of boots, and several other things, and then left, leaving a note behind stating that he should be back shortly. As he did not return, inquiry was made for him, and it was discovered that he had pledged the seal in Manchester for two shillings. He was next traced to Wigan, where he was apprehended as he was about to enlist for a soldier. Owing to the absence of the pawnbroker from Manchester, the prisoner was remanded till this day (Tues day). STEALING LEAD FROM GILL-STREET MARKET,—Thos. Brown was examined at the Police -court, yesterday, before Mr..Rushton, on a charge of having stolen 18Ibs. of lead, the property of Mr. Thomas Cockbain, contractor for the execu tion of the plumbing at the new market in Gill-street. Mr. John Barrett, clerk of the works, stated that, about five o'clock on Saturday afternoon, he saw the prisoner, who was employed on the works, come out of a vault with a sack under his arm ; and, on asking him what it contained, he replied, " I hope you will have mercy on me as it is the first time I have been guilty." The sack contained the lead al ready mentioned; and he was thereupon placed in custody. In defence he said, " I picked them up as they fell from the roof, and I have been three weeks in collecting them." fie was sent for trial at the sessions. THE FUNDS.—SATURDAY EVENING. — SOIIIe small sales of stock rather disturbed the firmer tendency which the En glish securities acquired at the first commencement of busi ness, and though uo absolute importance could be attached to the operations, still the fear was expressed that the public were sellers in connexion with the state of affairs in Ireland, and the consequence was a re-action. Consols for the ac count were done at 921 and 92k, but left off 921 to i ; Three and-a-Half per Cents Reduced closed 100 to ; Three per Cents Reduced, 931 to 4 - -; Long Annuities, 12 7-16; India Bonds 565. premium ; Bank Stock, 1781 ; and Exchequer bills, 51s. to 535. premium. In the foreign market dealings have taken a quiet range. Dutch stock was scarcely so good as yesterday, but in other securities very little alteration took place. The Two-and-a-halt per Cents Dutch closed 51 to 55 ; the Five per Cents, 100 to :}; Spanish Actives, 20',1 to ; the New Three per Cents, 293. to 3 ; Danish 85 to 86 ; Chilian 92 to 94 ; Brazilian, 70 to 72 ; Belgian, 102 to 103; Colombian, 23 to If; Peruvian, 16 to 18; Portuguese converted, 41 to 1-; and Mexican, 281 to 1. THe WEATHER.—We are extremely glad to !be able at length to report a little improvement in the state of the wea ther which we have experienced for the last few weeks. On Saturday, at noon, the clouds, which had hung over the sky during the previous part of the day, were dispersed, and the afternoon and evening were extremely favourable, with the wind still very high. On Sunday morning a little rain fell, but the afternoon was very fine and sunny, the wind being still brisk from the north-west. Yesterday we had no rain, and the air was warm, though the wind was easterly. We gather from the columns of our contemporaries that the wea ther has been more unfavourable in other quarters than in this immediate neighbourhood or in the south. The accounts from Wales, Scotland, and Ireland are equally unfavourable. All agree, however, that, though the operations of the field have been somewhat retarded, the owing crops of corn have not received more damage than a few days of dry warm weather would repair. In the Principality, as may be seen from a paragraph elsewhere, the floods have been very de structive ; whilst at Doncaster the traffic on the river was suspended, and one farmer had about seventy acres of po tatoes covered with water to the depth of two feet, and the hay crops were sustaining damage. At Wakefield, on Friday, wheat advanced is. per quarter, and a great deal changed `ands at that advance, and oats and barley were a shade - An advance was also expected at Mark Lane yes ANOTHER FIRE.—On Friday evening this town had ano ther narrow escape from a serious conflagration. About seven o'clock, smoke was seen to issue, by the policeman on duty, from the windows of the cellar of one of the new ware houses commonly known as " Gibson's," extending from the Piazzas at the Salthouse Dock up Salthouse-lane. The alarm was instantly given, and, though the flames burst from the windows of the building with apparently irresistible fury, the devouring element was conquered without having effected any material damage. The rooms in the upper part of these warehouses were filled with cotton ; the basement contained shumac and other merchandise, and at the end of the ware house nearest the dock was a large Quantity of sulphur. The warehouses being free, the cellars were not vaulted, and the windows were on a level with the footpath. It is supposed that some person, while passing, either carelessly or wilfully threw a lighted substance into the cellar, which communi cated with the sulphur, and, but for the promptitude and efficiency of the police, and a plentiful supply of water being at hand, the whole premises might have been destroyed, and all the valuable property which was contained therein. As it was, the sulphur only was consumed. The wind blew high from the north-west; and, had the fire broken out in the night, the most disastrous consequences might have ensued. DEPREDATION IN THE RUINS OF JACKSON'S-LANE WAREHOUSES.—A man and his wife, named William and Elizabeth Kinnaird, were placed at the bar of the Police court, yesterday, charged by Mr. Maxwell, on the part of the insurance offices, with having stolen a quantity of olive oil, sugar, cotton, and peas, from the ruins of the warehouses in Jackson's•lane, which were recently destroyed by fire. The male prisoner had been employed for some time in bringing up the oil from the cellar of the warehouses, and the female was accustomed to take his breakfast to him every morning. She was returning from the place jesterday morning, and was crossing the area of the Exchange, when Police-con stable No. 514 stopped her, and, finding in her basket some oil, suspicion was excited, so that her residence was searched. Therein were found between four and five quarts of olive oil, 30 lbs. of raw sugar, a quantity of stained cotton, two sugar bags, and some peas, all of which were seized, and Mr. Maxwell said they perfectly corresponded in description and quality with the same articles belonging to the insurance companies among the ruins. In defence, the prisoner said be had been working at the warehouses for Mr. Max well, and, until the last fortnight, he had behaved like an honest man : he had had to work down in the cellar in all sorts of weather, and had only three shillings per day for it, whilst some other person, who had not half so much work, had £2 per week, and he thought there was no harm in taking a little of what there was in order to make up his wages. Mr. Rushton ordered the woman to be discharged, and told the man that he had no occasion to work for three shillings a day unless he chose to do so. The prisoner re joined, that he must either work for that or starve. Mr. Rushton reminded him, that that was no excuse for robbery. The prisoner was then committed to take his trial at the sessions. THE " SANDHILLs."—The neat mansion-house near the southern extremity of Bootle Bay, on the north shore, and known as the " Sandhills," has, within the last few weeks, been pulled down, and the trees, shrubberies, and gardens by which it was pleasantly surrounded, will speedily be swept away—the site of the estate being about to be converted, in the first instance, into brick fields, and finally into building land, as it may be required for the extension of the town, which is already creeping rapidly out in that direction from Great Howard-street, along both sides of Regent-road, towards Bootle. The Sandhills was formerly the seat of John Shaw Leigh, Esq., whose property it is. The ground between the house and the sea originally was, and still (on the west side of the high road) partly is, composed of sand hills, producing little more than a dry, wiry, and unprofitable species of grass—and hence, probably, the name. The ground on the east side of the road, and between it and the canal. was of a better quality, but naturally far from favourable for the growth of vegetation, and especially, from the keenness of the sea breeze to which it was exposed, for arboriculture. Mr. Leigh, however, took great pains to overcome this de fect by forcing and manuring ; and the proximity of the town afforded considerable facilities for the improvement of the grass lands in particular, which formed a lawn opposite the south front of the house. He succeeded in raising a thick belt of wood on the north of the area, adjoining the road behind, (Rake-lane,) that runs from Regent-road to Sandhills Bridge, (on the canal,) and continued the plantations from each extremity of this belt southward, so as to form an agreeable and sheltering enclosure on three sides of the house, while clumps of trees and decorative shrubs adorned the lawn in front. The gardens on the west side were well protected by high walls and growing fences, which last, how ever, facing the sea-board, presented a somewhat brown and scorched appearance, the effects of the frequent westerly winds, surcharged with particles too strongly saline. These gardens, nevertheless, became very early and productive, and the house, being soon almost embosomed in trees,—the whole became for many years one of those pleasing spots, amidst the generally surrounding sterility and brick fields, upon which the eye of the sauntering pedestrian delighted to dwell. The face of the country near the sea just beyond it, towards and in Bootle, as well as for miles to the northward, (even so far as Formby,) has of late years been so much improved by buildings, chiefly in the villa style, with pleasure grounds and gardens—including the now extensive villages of Bootle, Seaford], Waterloo, which occupy the formerly long chain of barren sandhills that skirted the bay—that the con trast became less conspicuous, and is now scarcely percepti ble. There are those, however, who noticed the progress of the Sandhills to its leafy honours who will regret the change, which was probably dictated by a growing necessity as well as by the increased value of the land when appropriated for building, from the requirements connected with the new docks, which will extend northward beyond the estate. The site had become less desirable, too, from the proximity of the cotton-mill, the gas-works, and the numerous foundry and boiler-works on the south. The north shore clay is esteemed the best in this immediate n eighbourhood for making bricks, those made from it being very hard, and well calculated to turn moisture, though not so bright and pleasing in colour as the b r i c k s manufactured from nfound further inland. It is p ro b a bl e, therefore, thatfaoyr some years to come the whole area of many acres will be o oc cupied in the makin g an d b urn i ng o f t h em, to the no small discomfort of passe rs b y . C ommerce i s a leveller and in novator as well a s conquest , an d a ll we can now hope that when the time arr i ves f or t h e building upon it f streets, the plan a d opte d w ill b e suc h as will insure wide thoroila ugh on.fares, neat b u ildi ngs , an d p er f ect sewerage and ventti AIAM min Eve.--It appears that these beautiful pie. tures are to be removed this week from Liverpool, after having attracted an immense number of visitors. PHILHARMONIC.—The next philharmonic concert takes place on Friday. A very rich selection will be made from popular composers. We perceive that the July concert wil not take place in consequence of the Institution being occu pied by the exhibition. SPRINGTHOHPE'S WAX WORK.—The Liver Theatre has been crowded almost day and night with visiters to inspect Springthorpe's Wax-work. It is about to be removed ; those who want to see the figures must be quick. " Go, and stand not upon the order of your going —but go at once." PETTY THEFTS.—At the police-court, yesterday, Jane Byrnes was committed for trial at the sessions, on a charge of having stolen a pair of men's boots, from the shop of Mr. nos Dix, shoemaker, in Tithebarn-street.—James La ren and Michael Jordan were also committed for trial for having stolen a pair of trowsers from the shop of Mr. Peter Murry, clothes-dealer, of Hatton-garden. LAWENTABLE ACClDENT.—Yesterday, while a number of men in the employ of Messrs. Taylor and Rutledge were en gaged in the erection of a new building at Claughton, near Birkenhead, (the property of Mr. Moss,) the scaffold, by some accident, gave way, and they were precipitated to the ground from a considerable height. Several of them were severely injured, but none, we learn, dangerously, with the exception of one man. John Shaughnessy, aged 25, a stone mason, was so dreadfully hurt that he was with all possible expedition conveyed over to the Northern Hospital, m this town, for better professional aid and accommo dation. He is by trade a stone-mason, and his case is exceedingly precarious. His skull is fractured, and he is otherwise much bruised and contused. He remains in a s atate of stupor, and but slight hopes are entertained of his recovery. though no decisive opinion can be formed. The other men were not brought to this side of the river. CUTTING LEAD FROM A WAREHOUSE.—Zesterdaya man named Charles Rowland was brought up at the police court before Mr. Rushton, on a charge of having cut away a quail tity of lead from a warehouse in Back Goree, belonging to Miss Jane Mather. Patrick Macarthy, a warehouseman on the premises, said that between two and three o'clock on Sa turday afternoon he was in the jigger-room, and looking out through the window lie saw the prisoner upon the roof of the warehouse, talking to some men who were in the jigger -room of the next warehouse. He had no business there. When the prisoner came off the roof into the jigger-room, witness concealed himself, and saw him forcing off the flushing-lead from the window by means of an iron bar. He stripped off altogether about two feet and a half. Witness advanced towards him, when he said he was merely there to ascertain what time it was. Mr. Superintendent Leverett was sent for, and he took the man into custody. Mr. Daniel Mather deposed that the warehouse was the property of his sister. When called upon for his defence, the prisoner merely re plied—" It's not t r u e ." H e was comm i tte d for trial at the next sessions. THE CAROLINE—DERELICT.—This case was considered, in the Admiralty Court, on Wednesday last. The Caroline, bound on - a voyage from Liverpool to the Cape of Good Hope, with a cargo worth together rather more than £15,000. was fallen in with, totally abandoned, by the schooner Emily, on the 22d of January last, off Arklow Bank, in the Irish Channel, Atter about sixteen hours' exertion, the derelict was safely conducted into Holyhead, the master and two of the seamen belonging to the schooner having been put on board. The salvage services were not denied, but it was argued on behalf of the owners of the Caroline that but little risk had been run. The Court held that this valuable ship and cargo had been rescued from a state of peril, and without considering whether the Caroline, though having seven feet water in her hold, had been properly abandoned or not, it was quite certain that a large salvage service of a high order had been performed. Three men, out of a crew of six, had been put on board the derelict, and it had been safely taken into Holyhead; the Caroline being of 300 tons burden, had it come on to blow, the vessel as well as the three men put on board might have been lost. The owners of the schooner were to be paid for the loss they had sustained by the delay occasioned in effecting the service. The old principle of giving a moiety of the value of derelict vessels saved had long been abandoned, and salvors were now remunerated according to the risk of life run, and the danger and loss in curred. The court would not be doing injustice by giving £l,BOO to the salvors. To the owners the learned judge al lotted £6OO, to the master £4OO, to the mate £250; the ba lance to be divided among the rest of the crew. A ROGUISH FELLOW -COUNTRYMAN.--William Green, a young man, with a broad Scotch face and a still broader Scotch accent, was placed at the bar of the Police-court on Saturday, charged with having robbed John Anderson. The latter, who is a wire -worker, residing with his mother-in-law in Hotham-street. called, on Wednesday last, at Ilesketh's public-house in Tithebarn-street. The prisoner was standing at the counter; and, finding that each of them came " frae the bonnie north," they could not do less than have a crack wi' ane anither, and a wee drappie o' something to season it withal. John Anderson, honest man, but somewhat careless we conceive, had in his pocket-book three five-pound notes, two of which were of the Whitehaven bank, and in his purse eleven sovereigns. His fellow countryman, who was a stranger to him, saw the gold, and invited him to go and drink with him at another tavern. John Anderson sat " hoozin' o'er the nappy" till he had more than a " wee drappie in his ee"; and the result of his protracted carousal was, that he fell asleep. When he awoke he missed his fel low-countryman, and he missed something of far greater consequence, for he found that he had, during his nap, been disencumbered of both his purse and pocket-book. He made his losses known to the police, and it was discovered that the well-behaved individual with whom he had scraped so sudden an acquaintance was a journeyman baker. After sonic search, the prisoner was found at a public-house in Kirkdale. lie had a watch and eleven and a half sovereigns in his possession. It was subsequently discovered that he had purchased the watch on Thursday, from Mr. Samuel, in Paradise -street, having changed a£s note to pay for it. He was again searched when booked at Bridewell, but nothing further was found. When taken to his room, however, the turnkey saw bim conceal a piece of paper beneath the bench. The turnkey pounced upon the paper, and found that it was a£s note of the Whitehaven bank. It was proved that the prisoner had, on the day following his interview with John Anderson, boasted that he was possessed of £25. The pri soner, having been cautioned, offered to the Court an excuse which showed his knowledge of law and justice. He said, Anderson left the room, and went to the foot of the stairs, when lie (the prisoner) found the purse and pocket-book lying near his chair.---He was committed for trial. CONSUMPTION AND PRICE OF GAS.—A report from Mr. Evans, the solicitor of the Guardian Society, has just appeared, in which that gentleman details the proceedings in opposition to the Liverpool New Gas and Coke Company's Bill, which, after having passed the House of Commons, has been with drawn in the Lords. We gather from this document that the objects of the bill were to extend the limits of the corn. pang to Walton, Bootle, Litherland, Great Crosby, Child wall, Much 'Woolton. Allerton, Garston, and Wavertree, arid to raise an additional capital of £12,700 in shares of £lOO each, all of which it was sought to appropriate amongst the existing proprietors of the company, so that, as the shares were selling in the market at a premium of £l2l, each share holder, if the hill had passed, would realise a considerable sum, not in increasing dividends, (because these were limited to XI() per cent., and could not legally be exceeded,) but in the shape of premiums. In the committee of the House of Lords, after an examination of the following witnesses in support of the bill, (Mr. Steel, the manager, Mr. J. A. Tinne, Mr. J. T. Cooper, and Mr. Whitty,) and au address from Serjeant Wrangham, in opposition to the measure, the committee came to the following resolutions :—" To strike out the fourth clause, and throw the new shares open, to be taken by the public at open auction.—To keep the capital created by the new shares distinct from the old capital, so as to ensure to the previous consumers of gas, in the original district, that reduction in the price of gas to which they are entitled by the present p ro fi ts. "—S evera l communications afterwards took place between the parties, and at . a subse quent meeting of the comm i ttee th e opponents of the bill were asked by the chairmati whether they would be satisfied with the first resolution and abandon the second ; but to this insisted on objection was ra i se d , an d the comm i ttee there f ore on all the conditions they previously proposed. The counsel for the bill then announced that it was withdrawn. An opi nion of Mr. Se a j ean t W rang h am i s attac h e d to t h e report, in which that learned gentleman says that " the company were not warranted in dividing among the shareholders any sum over and above £lO per cent. upon the capital actually paid up, in any one year, to cover a deficiency below the £lO per cent. profit in bygone years ;" arid that " the expenditure of money in districts not authorised by the act is a misappro priation of their funds, which ought to be reported to the accountant."—lt is argued in this report, and from the in formation we possess, we consider with perfect justice that the main object of the company was the appropriation of the shares, and not as was professed, the benefit of the public, and that therefore the rejection of the measure is a subject for congratulation by the consumers of gas. THE NEXT MAILS FOR INDIA.—The following notices have been issued by the Post-office authorities :—" The next mail for Erypt and India, via' Falmouth, will be despatched hence (General Post-office) on Friday, the 30th instant." " The next mails for India, &c.. viii Marseilles, will be de spatched hence on Thursday, 6th of July." " The Pacha, for the Peninsular mails of the 10th instant." " The next mails for Malta, Greece, and the lonia❑ Islands, via Fal mouth, will be despatched hence on Saturday, the 17th instant." GRATeD SAILING MA:refl.—A splendidly contested race came off on Thursday, on the Thames, by the "Thames Royal Yacht Club." The race was for the grand challenge cup, value 100 guineas, a contest established in 1840 by the club, to create emulation in the science of sailing. The day was exactly calculated to exhibit not only the powers of the beautiful little lleet engaged, but the skill and judgment of the rival captains, who exhibited throughout seamanship rarely, if ever surpassed. The yachts came in in the follow ing order :—Enigma, first ; Blue Belle, second ; Mystery, third ; Champion, fourth ; Phantom, fifth. The Mayor of Stockton published a handbill, in conse quence of a requisition havin g been presented to him, re questing that the offices, counting-houses, and shops in the borough might be closed on N\ hit-Monday, in order " that the clerks and assistants may enjoy a day of recreation and rational amusement." 'His worship added,—" From the effects of this relaxation, beneficial both to mind and body, it is not doubted that they will return to business with addi tional zeal and energy." GRANT OF PUBLIC MONEY.—About two years ago parlia ment granted a sum of £lO,OOO for the improvement and maintaining of public walks i❑ towns, bat up to the present time only £5OO has been expended. £3OO has been given to Dundee, and £2OO to Arbroath, and the remaining £9500 still lies in the exchequer. It is strange that, so much as public walks are needed for the operatives of this and other large towns, no claim should be made on their behalf, and that such a sum should lie uncalled for upwards of two years. —Glasgow paper. Mr. Hugh Stratford Stratfoad, who had been in custody nearly a fortnight, for a violent assault on Mr. Chisholm, a surgeon, whom he mistook for Mr. Barnard Gregory, of the Satirist, was brought up on Wednesday before Mr. Rawlin son, at the Marylebone Police-office. A solicitor attended for Mr. Chisholm and stated that under all the circumstances he did not wish to press the charge of assault against Mr. Stratford. Mr. Chambers, barrister on behalf of Mr. Strat ford, expressed his regret at the mistake, and Mr. Stratford was discharged. A fugitive slave undergoing an examination at Northamp ton, Connecticut. when asked if his master was a Christian, replied, "No, Sar, he's a member of Congress."

How TO TAKE A BATH.--A man generally goes to a bath as if he were carrying an express or running from a broom gmreiantutes, hurry, souses his body in the broom stick. lie is out of breath and in a perspiration on his arrival. hot l-1e water, open, puts on his garments, looks complacently in the mir ror, and thinks he has taken a bath. No such thing; he has cks himself ahout i n fi five taken nothing but a cold. In an hour he begins to sneeze, and the next clay commences coughing, and he reviles the bath. Philosophy grieves over his folly, b ut w ill not relieve his nose and l ungs . WI ?) , did the bath give him a cold ? Because he was in a perspiration when he went into the wa ter, which perspiration was increased by the heat, and check ed as soon as he raised himself into the colder medium of the air. The order of nature must be reversed to prevent a man taking cold under such circumstances. Now, reader, we will tell you how to take a bath. In the first place, pay your note, if it be due—or if you cannot do that, hav e it protested and think no more about it. If you have any quarrel on ha n d, whip, or get whipped at once ; tranquility of mind is all-im portant in rendering the warm bath b ene fi c i al. Walk leisurely to the establishment, and disrobe yourself with moderate haste. In with you, a nd to beguile the time read a novel or a newspaper. In about half an h our t h e water will cool to near the temperature of the air, and you will have gone grad ually through half a dozen climates. You will have left the torrid slowly for the temperate zone. Then let in the cold -almost drop bywater very slowly, , drop, and i n th e course o f twenty minutes you will find yourself in a cold bath. The pores will be closed gradually and moderately ; your sensa tions will be exquisite during the process, and you will feel strength and elasticity in every limb. Y ou emerge from the cold water into the warmer air; dry your body thoroughly with a coarse towel, and you feel . like a new man. It is im possible fOr you to take cold; . if you d o , you are at li b erty to come and box our ears for giving you bad advice—American Paper. COURTS MARTIAL AT MANCHESTER. By directions from Major-General Sir William Warre, the investigations into the conduct of the non-commissioned offi cers and soldiers of the 15th Regiment, charged with having been concerned in the recent military outrage at Manchester, commenced on Saturday week, when a District Court Martial was held at the Regent-road Barracks, before Lieutenant- Colonel Campbell, of the 16th Regiment, and other officers. Serjeant James Taylor was arraigned " for highly improper conduct, on or about the 23d May, 1843, when aware that a riot and disturbance, connected with an affray which had taken place the previous night bet Ween some soldiers of the 15th Regiment and the police, was intended to be renewed by some soldiers of the 15111 Regiment, and not communicating the circumstance to his superior officers, although warned by Mr. Walker, turnkey at the New Bailey, that he ought to do so ; such conduct being greatly unbecoming th e con d uc t o f a non-commissioned officer, and subversive of discipline and good order." The prisoner pleaded Not guilty. It appeared, from the testimony of Charles Walker, the turnkey at the New Bailey, and of William Diggles, his as sistant, that, on the day following the disturbance, the ac cused went to Walker to pay the fines awarded by the ma gistrates against four privates of the 15th Regiment. In the course of conversation, he stated, that another row was forth coming that night, as the grenadiers had turned out to a man. Walker told him that the superior officers ought to be in formed. The accused denied the charge, and said the witnesses had worn falsely. It appeared that the prisoner bore a good character in his regiment. The court was cleared several times while the officers of the court deliberated. On the last occasion it was stated, that it would be unnecessary for the reporters to return, as it was near four o'clock, beyond which hour the court had no power to sit; and that the judgment of the court would not be allowed to transpire until it had been approved by the General. It is known, however, that the court martial found the prisoner guilty, and sentenced him to ten days' solitary con finement, and to be reduced to the ranks. On Monday last a District Court Martial was held at the Regent-road Barracks, to try Serjeant Lawrence Nolan, of the 15th Regiment, on various charges of misconduct during the recent collision between the soldiers and the police. The evidence in support of the charge went to show, that the prisoner had prevaricated in the account which he gave at the barracks of certain circumstances which occurred on the night of the 23d ; had wilfully misstated some other cir cumstances; had designedly neglected to report to the Co lour-Serjeant some of the particulars alleged against privates Webb and Rooney, then in custody ; and had neglected to report to the officer of the picquet that private Buson was in confinement. The prisoner, in his defence, called witnesses, one of whom stated that he heard the prisoner report Webb and Rooney to Colour-Serjeant Abbott. The court adjourned at four o'clock. The case was resumed on Tuesday. The prisoner bad a good character given by the captain of his company. The court was cleared as before, and several deliberations took place. Private James Rooney, of the 15th regiment, was arraigned on the . following charges :—" Ist. For having been absent from tattoo on the night of the 23d :May. and not returning until brought back by an escort the same night. 2d. For having, o❑ or about half-past twelve o'clock on the morning of the 24th of May, when a prisoner with a❑ escort of the regiment, struck police-inspector M`Flugh with his fists. 3d. For having, when a prisoner at the time stated in the second charge, made his escape from the escort." The pri soner pleaded Not guilty. The evidence went simply to the proof of the above charges. The prisoner had been before convicted of insu bordination. Private Webb, of the same regiment, was arranged on charges similar to the above, which were proved by a recapi tulation of the same testimony. On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday the inquiries were continued. Private James Pollock, of the 15th Regiment. was tried on a charge of having used threatening langnagc to wards the police; Private William Thorp, of the 15th, on charge of having, while under arms as one of the escort sent to quell an affray, attempted to assault Police Constable Mo ran, who had claimed the protection of that escort; and Pri vate Dennis Tracey, of the 15th, on charge of having threatened the police. The decisions of the court, except in the case of Serjeant Taylor, had not, up to Saturday, been submitted to the Gene ral of the district. The Manchester Guardian expresses a belief, however, that Webb has been acquitted, he having been previously confined on the same charge. Some charges, it is said, have been preferred against several privates of the 16th Regiment, for using threatening language to the police subsequently to the riot, and a second court martial has been sitting to investigate the matter. Major-General Sir William Warre was at the barracks on Friday, investigating in person some circumstances connected with the liberation of soldiers apprehended on the 23d ult. We understand that in conse quence of the misconduct of the soldiers of the 16th Regi ment to the police they have been ordered to return to the barrack in the evening at eight instead of nine o'clock, and, indeed, it is said that all the troops now in the Regent-road barrack, consisting of portions or detachments of the Bth, 15th, and 16th Regiments, have been required to conform to this regulation. ROBBERY, CREDULITY, AND BIGAMY, Eliz. Williams, aged 17, of prepossessing appearance, fair complexion, and profuse flaxen hair, residing in Church street, Chelsea, was charged on Friday, at Kensington Police-office, on suspicion of stealing a silver table-spoon, the property of Mr. Hitchcock, proprietor of the Gloucester Arms Tavern, Kensington. The case gave rise to extraordi nary disclosures, and the substantiation of a charge of bigamy against the prisoner. With regard to the latter point, Arthur Williams, a young and well-dressed man, a draper, at present residing at the tavern, and who had been in veigled into marrying the prisoner by her deceitful repre sentations, made the following depositions : He knew the prisoner, to whom he bad been married by licence on Tuesday, the 30th of May last, at Kensington Church. lie first met her on a Sunda'y night in September last at Hyde Park-corner, when, recognising her as a fre quent customer at a house of business he was then con nected with, he bowed and spoke to her. She then com plained of a gentleman who was annoying her behind, and claiming his protection, he accompanied her to Sloane street, beyond which she would not permit him to go with her. He, however, persuaded her to make an appointment to meet him again, which she kept, and from the con versation which ensued he considered her a young female of strict moral principle, and felt that she had com pletely won his affections. At their third interview. she stated that her father was an Englishman, but that she was an Italian by birth on her mother's side, and that her name was Elizabeth Eleanor Burrows ; that her mother dying when she was an infant she had been sent to this country in the care of Captain —, whose widow had married a person named Etheridge, with whom she was still living. When old enough she stated she had been placed at a boarding-school at Footscray, Kent, from which she had been subsequently taken away by her guar dian, Sir Harry Daun, Bart., of Rose House, Dartford, Kent, who had placed her with a Mrs. Cox, residing at No. 3, Old Manor -street. Chelsea, who had an allowance of £2OO a year with her, and which she afterwards stated she had no doubt Sir Harry Daun would give her in marriage, as also the proceeds of the rent of a house and farm at Footscray, which her father had left her. About four months since the prisoner wrote to him a letter, requesting to see him on business of importance, when, on meeting in the evening, she told him that she been much annoyed by her guardian, Sir Harry Datm, pressing her to leave Eng land with a Count Bellivante, whom she stated her guardian said was a distant relative of her (the prisoner's) mother, and in a moment of pretending confidence she told him that both the count and Sir Harry Daun had made unsuccessful attempts on her virtue. Under the circumstances headvised her to go to her old nurse, Mrs. Etheridge, at Greenwich, for protection, offering to accompany her; but she declined going then, and said, that although she could not return to Mrs. Cox's in consequence of the importunities of the count and baronet, she could go to her laundress, a Mrs. Gardiner, residing at 17, Manor-street. lie recommended her to do so, and she having hinted that she had left Mrs. Cox's in haste, attired en dishabille, and without cash, he gave her 30s. Being taken ill at Mrs. Gardner's he stopped with her for two days and two nights, during which time he was never for one mo ment alone with her. It was then stated by the laundress, that she had a sister, wife to a farmer, named Bennett, re siding ;tt Henley-upon-Thames, Oxon, to whom the prisoner might, if he liked, let her go down for a week, and on the prisoner pressing the same suit next day, lie gave her £2 to pay her expenses. A fortnight after the prisoner apprised him by note that she had returned, and was again under the care of Mrs. Cox, the count having gone off to the Conti nent; but added, that since incurring her uncle's displea sure, she was unable to pay the rent of her old nurse, Mrs. Etheridge, which she had been accustomed to do. He met her the same evening, and gave her £4 10s. for the for mer purpose, £2 to pay for the physician's attendance on her, and £2 for her own use. He ferther gave her ids. to recover a ring, which Sir Harry Daun was very angry with her for losing, and which Mrs. Gardner's husband had pledged with out hr knowledge. Mr. Williams continued to meet her daily. On one occasion, when visiting her at Mrs. Gardi ner s, a young man came into the room, and demanding to know what he wanted there said his name was Cox, and the prisoner his wife ; she afterwards persuaded him that this was the nephew of her guardian, but though, in compliance with Sir Harry Daun's threats, she had been married to him at Henley-on-Thames, the marriage was not valid, as it had been performed in a private house. His soli citor, to whom he applied, certified him on this point of law. About six weeks ago she represented that Richard son, a friend of her father's, had come up from the country, who would prove the marriage illegal, but admitted that it had been consummated, and said that, to relieve her from her unpleasant situation, her friend had removed her from Cox's to the house of Mr. Body, a clergyman, No. 31, Church-street Chelsea. Notwithstanding, however, her friend's positive orders, Mr. Body h a d a d m i tte d C ox i nto the house as her husband ; and on Thursday, the 25th ult., she came to him in apparently great excitement, and said that Mr. Body having admitted Cox to her room and bed, she had fled the house, and could not retu rn t o it. H e wa lk ed about the street wi th her all that night, as he could not get her to go to any place of shelter. They again walked about tl - e next night; and on the third night he persuaded her to enter an inn, where they sat up in a room all night. On Saturday (the 27th) she, however, yeilded to his earnest entreaties that he should take lodgings until he could procure a licence to marry her. He had then taken the apartments at Mr. Hitchcock's tavern, representing themselves as man and wife. Having obtained a license at Kensington on the morning of the third day they had been there (the 30th), he asked Mr. Hitchcock to be a wit ness to their marriage at Kensington Church, who refused, being vexed at the deception lie had used. On their return, an hour afterwards, he produced the certificate of marriage, when Mr. Hitchcock permitted them to remain. Since their marriage she had shown him a letter she said she had re ceived from Sir H. Dann, appointing to meet him at a cer tain hour at the Green Man Inn, Blackheath, to make an arrangement; as also another, addressed to " Lord Sea grave, Uiberne della Britta, Milan, Italy," which she said had been written by her guardian to his lordship to malign her character, and she induced him to write a letter in vin dication of their marriage. They resided at the tavern till Tuesday, when Mr. Williams, on returning home from busi ness to dinner, found his wife gone, and on her not coming back, the rooms of the parties were examined, and time silver table spoon which the prisoner had had to take medicine in, with a tea-spoon from another room, had disappeared. The certificate of the second marriage was produced, found in prisoner's pocket, and Caroline Cox, of No. 21, Drury place, Church -street, Chelsea, produced the certificate of the prisoner's first marriage by banns, on the 26th of Fe bruary last, at St. Luke's, Chelsea, to J. It. Cox, her brother, a porter, in Charles-street, Grosvenor-square. On one occasion of coming, her brother found Mr. Williams there and turned him out of the house. Witness had herself told Mr. Williams that the prisoner was a married woman, but he would not believe it. Mr. Williams said that the last witness bad been always called to him by the name of Gardiner. The prisoneisaid that all she had to say was that Mr. Williams knew well she was a married woman, as she and her husband had always told him so. He had taken her away without her consent, and when she wanted to go home again he would not let her, and therefore she ran away in his absence. She fainted during the evidence, and appeared in a very weak state, and covered her face with her hands. Mr. Clive said he had no doubt the whole parties had been engaged in a deep conspiracy to entrap Mr. Williams, and had great doubt whether the whole ought not to be indicted. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL NEWS. DR. HAMPDEN AND DR. PUSEY. Mutato nornine, de to Fabula narratur.—Hor..Sat. His Grace the Archbishop of York, who last week conse crated the new churches at Elsecar and Kimberworth, is in the 17th year of his age, and has been archbishop since 1807. His grace looks remarkably well, and reads the service in a most effective and impressive manner. Dr. Chalmers has resigned the professorship of divinity in the University of Edinburgh, a step which follows up in the ordinary course of recent events in the Church. The an nouncement was made in a letter to the Town Council of Edinburgh, in whom the patronage of the chair is vested. An address has been presented to the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford from a number of resident members of convocation, requesting him to make known the grounds on which the sentence on Dr. Pusey was passed. The ice-Chancellor has declined at present to give any decisive answer. We believe that a fac-simile of the deed of renunciation, with the signatures of the seceders, men from the Church of Scotland, is in course of preparation, and is meant to be treasured as the record of the Second Solemn League and Covenant. SUSPENSION OF A CLERGYMAN.—The Bishop of Glou cester has suspended for one year the Rev. G. M. Irvine, D.D., perpetual curate of the parish of St. Mary, Redcliffe, Bristol, for having celebrated an illegal marriage, he knowing at the time that the parties were neither of them resident iu the parish, and also that they were within the prohibited de gree of affinity. He is also condemned in the sum of five pounds. The proceedings were taken under the church dis cipline act recently passed. The Rev. T. E. Morris, whose sermon preached on Ascen sion-day at Oxford, was demanded by the Vice-Chancellor, has addressed a letter to the Times, in which he says that the passage objected to was this—" Laud, the martyred Archbishop, who, let us trust, still intercedes for this church, &c." When the Vice-Chancellor had perused the sermon, he informed Mr. Morris that all the notice he had to take officially of the sermon was to require that Mr. Morris would ex ammo express his assent to the 22nd article, which Mr. Morris said he felt no difficulty in doing, though he did not see that he had said involved " invocation" at all. He then read the article, and received back the copy of his sermon. OXFORD FELLOWSHIP FOR PRESCOT AND PRESTBURY. —The question of the right of the natives of the pai ishes of Prescot, in Lancashire, and Macclesfield, in Cheshire, to certain fellowships in the university of Oxford is occupying at present a considerable share of the attention of the parties interested in its settlement. Public meetings of the inhabi tants of both those parishes have been held within the last few days, for the purpose of co-operating each with the other and raising a fund to take such measures as appeared advi sable to resist the rescript lately issued by the Lord Bishop of Lincoln, which alters the mode of examination of candi dates for fellowships in the College in question. The fol lowing facts, derived from an authentic source, will serve to explain the particulars of the dispute :—lt appears that Brasenose College, O x f or d, was or i g i nal l y founded by Bishop Smith, of Prescot, and Sir Richard Sutton, of Prestbury ; and that those two individuals instituted statutes for the Go vernment of the College. According to the interpretation of these statutes, candidates for fellowships. being natives ' of the parishes of Prescot and Prestbury, have always been first examined, and, if qualified, elected; but if not qualified, the examination was then extended to the natives of South Lancashire and Cheshire, and then, if no qualified persons presented themselves from any of those places, the examina tion was open to the whole of the ancient diocese of Lich field and Coventry. The present Bishop of Lincoln, who is the visiter at the college, has, on the 'representation of the principal and fellows, granted a resctipt, by which, under the name of interpreting the statutes, he has cntirely altered the mode of election, causing it to begin by an examination of all candidates from the diocese of Lichfield, and only giving a preference to candidates, from Prescot and Prestbury, in the rare event of a parity of merit in the view of the examiners. It has already been stated that a recent election of a fellow, two candidates from Prescot, both second class men, and one from Prestbury, who had taken a degree, were passed over; but it is not generally known that the gentleman who ob tained the fellowship is not even a member of Brasenose College. The statutes, which were finally settled in 1521, by Sir R. Sutton, the co-founder of the college, expressly take away any power to alter them, but, it is admitted, give the visitor the right of interpreting them, which, as they are in Latin, may be differently construed ; but the late rescript destroys at once the ancient mode of election and the privi leges which have existed for two centuries. The question was supposed to have been set at rest in 1815 by the then visitor, Bishop Towline, who declared that it was the intention of the founders that preference should be given to the two pa rishes named. The following is a copy of the portion of the rescript now complained of :—" Instead, therefore, of the rule prescribed by Bishop Towline, I direct the following to be observed :—That al, natives of the ancient diocese of Lichfield and Coventry shall be received as candidates, and that out of them shall be elected the candidate who is aplus et habilis quoart mores et seientiam ; that in the case of a parity of qualification, the preference shall be given, in the first instance, to natives of Prescot and Prestbury, and in the second, to natives of the counties of Lancaster and Ches ter, and that in case no native of the ancient diocese of Lichfield and Coventry, who is habilis moribus et seientice, shall present himself, candidates from the diocese of Lincoln shall be admitted." At the Prestbury meeting, the mayor of Macclesfield presided, and at the Prescot one, the Rev. T. Driftield, the vicar of the parish. The resolutions passed on the occasion were to the effect, that in consequence of the in justice done by the rescript, such measures by appeal or otherwise be adopted as might lead to a reconsideration of that rescript; and that committees be appointed to apply for copies of the statutes and documents necessary for ascer taining the rights of the natives of the parishes of Prescot and Prestbury to the fellowships, and to take the opinion of counsel on such points as might be considered necessary. With the view of forwarding the object, subscription lists were opened, to which the names of Mr. Greenall, M.P., and several other gentlemen were attached. John Poynder Esq , a gentleman well known for his advo: cacy of genuine christianity in this and other countries, has addressed a letter to the Morning Herald, in which he sug gests that the laity of the Church should protest collectively against the present attempt to restore the corrupt usurpations of the clergy before the reformation, and to pre vent the influx of arbitrary power and the overthrew of civil liberty, always inseparable from the prevalance of Popery. MORALITY OF DISSENTING PETITIONERS !—A vehe ment opponent of the Educational Clauses of Sir James Gra ham's Factory 13i11 informed ourselves, not two days ago, that so great is his objection to that measure, that he makes it a point of duty (!) to sign every petition against it that he meets with ! The morality of such a course of proceeding is exquisite ; and the acknowledgment of it ought to furnish to Parliament an idea of the degree of weight to be accorded to petitions thus dishonestly got up !—British Lion. A great deal has been said about the liberal politics of his late Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, but we are not aware, except in the instance we are about to relate, of his ever having entered into a detailed statement of his princi ples. During his memorable visit to Newcastle in 1822, be was created a free burgess, and we deem his observations, in allusion to that compliment, of sufficient importance for re publication, though it will be seen they contain little beyond mere general expressions of opinion. If they do not serve the biographer, they may at least gratify the curious. "My hon. friend," observed his royal highness, " with great pro priety, introduced my name as connected with the House of Brunswick, that family which had been called to the throne of these realms, and came over to this country under a so lemn compact of civil and religious liberty; a principle I have always laid down for the guidance of my public conduct —a principle which I am sure is congenial with the feelings of every member of the royal family. In a company like this, I am aware it would be extremely improper to go be yond certain lengths, but there are sentiments which must be congenial to the feelings of every one, and I should be extremely sorry if anything should occur to disturb the har mony or shock the good sense of this company. All I say is, that I am proud of being a member of that royal family denominated the House of Brunswick. I say denominated, because it is to this country that we are indebted for the title arid rank in society of being so. I am, therefore, not un likely to be a friend and supporter of English royalty ; but I do not like foreign royalty. I like the English constitution —I like the principle that the King can do no wrong; but I do not wish the evasion of responsibility. I respect and love the aristocracy of the country, as a link between the sove reign and the people; but I detest an oligarchy. lam an admirer and a supporter of the rights of the people; but it is not my interest, and I am not paid for being a republican. Such are briefly my principles, and I thought it but fair, as you have done me the honour of electing me a citizen of Newcastle, that you should know a little of my principles. ACTIVITY.—" I have lived, said Dr. Adam Clarke, "to know that the great secret of human happiness is this : ' Never suffer your energies to stagnate.' The old adage of too many irons in the fire' conveys an abominable lie. You cannot have too many, pokers, tongs, and all; keep them all r A "SHOPPING" SECRET FOR HUSBANDS.—Archdeacon Paley, in one of his familiar discourses, touching upon the expences brought upon husbands and fathers, in the way of cambrics and satins, says, " I never let my women (be it understood he spoke of Mrs. Archdeacon I"aley and Misses Paley,) when they shop, take credit. I always make them pay ready money, sir : ready money is such a check upon the imagination." ' Arreptus a viatore. " Provoeo," inquit. Audits vox una vindex liberatis, ex eo missa ore, quo vindieiae nuper ab libertate dictw errant, silentium feeit.— Lie. lib. iii. c. 56. The following facts and extracts are submitted to members of convocation, as illustrative of Dr. Pusey's moral claim to complain of unstable and unjust treatment in the case of his solemn condemnation by the statuable and responsible tri bunal provided in such cases. February 7, 1836.—A board of heads of houses was sum moned, at the request rf Dr. Pusey and others, to consider about the propriety of taking some steps to prevent the ap pointment of Dr. Hampde❑ to the chair of divinity. On Friday, the 4th of March, the heads of colleges pro posed that nothing should be done until after Dr. Hamp den's inaugural lecture, appointed for March 17th. On Monday, the 7th of March, a requisition was presented to the board, signed by Dr. Pusey and others, giving the board until the following day to frame a penal statute, and refusing to wait until Dr. Hampden had been heard in his defence. On March the 10th, the following was issued by Dr. Pusey and others, in justification of the course to which they had driven the Executive Board of the University. Extracts from a Declaration upon the nature and tendency of the Publications of Dr. Hampden, March 10th, 1836, signed E. B. Pusey and J. H. Newman, &c. " We cannot allow any explanation of insulated passages or particular words to be valid in excuse against the positive language, the systematic reasonings, and the depreciating tone with which, in Dr. Hampden's works, the Articles of the Church are described as mere human speculations."— Paragraph 3. " We hold that the frame of mind which could produce and send forth such statements is in itself a complete dis qualification for the grave and responsible office of presiding over our academical studies in divinity, and, consequently of guiding the religious instruction of half the country. Paragraph 4. The proctors having placed their veto on the proposed statute, a second address was circulated after the delivery of the inaugural lecture, of which the following is an ex tract : "Painful as it is to touch upon such a subject, the commit tee (Dr. Pusey, Mr. Newman, Mr. Sewell, and three others) are bound to declare, that, if reasons before existed for urg ing an expression of public distrust, without awaiting Dr. Hampden's explanation, they are now, if possible, in greater force," &c.—Paragraph 12. And again : "THE QUESTION WAS ALWAYS FELT TO BE ONE WHICH COULD NOT LEGITIMATELY BE AFFECTED BY ANY EX PLANATION WHATEVER.' —Paragraph 13. And now Dr. Pusey calls for "definite propositions," complains of condemnation without a hearing, of unstatu tableness and injustice! If the proceedings are unstatutable, let them be appealed from ; if the statute is unjust, let it be abolished; but let not the sympathy of members of convoca tion and others be conceded to one who has good reason to i exclaim, taking even his own view of the case, "Quam temere in nosmet lege - m sancimus iniquam." Oxford, June 7. A BACHELOR OF DIVINITY THE COURT. THE KING OF HANOVER. The Court Gazette states, that her Majesty has had the • good sense to break through the cold forms of court precedent, and set an example to mothers by nursing the royal infant. Prince Albert has been elected Lord High Steward of Ply mouth in the room of the late lamented Duke of Sussex. fliit royal highness's nomination was proposed by a conservative, and seconded by a whig member of the corporation. His Majesty the King of Hanover held a levee on Satur day, at one o'clock, at his residence in the Ambassadors' Court, St. James's Palace, for the reception of the Foreign Diplomatic Corps. Her Majesty, it is said, will give one state ball at Bucking ham Palace previous to the birth-day drawing-room axed for Thursday, 6th of July. Her Majesty's grand dinner at the palace, on Wednesday, is in honour of the King of Hanover. Her Majesty and Prince Albert were to visit Drury Lane Theatre in state last night (Monday). They have not visited either that'or Covent Garden Theatre in state since their marriage in February, 1840. An alliance is spoken of in the higher circles as likely to take place between the second daughter of a noble earl who held a high office in the Melbourne Administration, and the eldest son of a noble lord and grandson to a Scotti sh earl of large possessions. The lady is travelling in Italy with her noble relatives, but the ceremony, it is said, gill take place in England. The Queen will hold a chapter of the most ancient and most noble order of the Thistle, on Tuesday afternoon, at Buckingham Palace, when the most noble the Marquis of Bute, lord high commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, and the Right Hon. the Earl of Mansfield, will be elected into the order, vice his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex and the Earl Abergavenny, de ceased.

REBECCA AGAIN.—ALARMING STATE OF THE COUNTRY. --Warrants of distress were issued against the parties fined for defrauding Water-street gate, and the constables Pro ceeded to execute them. They reached Brmcbwith about s even o'clock this morni n g , where they wer e informed that Samuel Bowen was only a lodger with his father, and bad no effects of his own. The constables then left towards Talog, but when on the way there they heard the sly of a horn and immediately between two and tbree hu red persons assembled together, with their faces bhickened, some dressed with their coats turne d , so as in women's caps, and others to be completely disguised, armed with scythes , and all manner of destructive weapons which they could lay their hands on, and after cheering the constables, defied them to do their duty. The constables then bad DO alternative but to return to town without executing the warrants. The women were seen running in all directions to alarm their neighbours ; and it is supposed that some hundreds more were concealing themselves behind the hedges; and did not intend to make their appearance unless their services were required. We have just seen a person who came through Talog this morning, and when he passed the village the whole country seemed to be aroused and waiting the arrival of the constables, who were going to levy on the premises of John H ar ries, of Talog mill, for the amount of the fine and costs imposed on him by the magistrates for noo-payment of tolls. There could not have been less than.two hundred persons asse mbled to r esist the execu tion of process. and vast num. bers were flocking there from all quarters. Our informant states, that on his approaching Talog, a man passed him on horseback, blowing a horn as a signal to the Rebeceaites to repair thither. Various other mounted messengers were scouring the country and sounding the tocsin of alarm. They told our iuformant that it was their determination to j. another levelling visit to this neighbourhood this night fo r puose demolishing the gate. The magistrates for met the To wn-ball at twelve o'clock to-day, to take the at into consideration. --Carmarthen Journal of Frid matter sY night. Th e approaching marriage of the Princess Augusta of a r b e le nderedir' Cambridge was announced in the two houses of Parliament on Friday night, and a notice given that a suit able far her Royal Highness will be moved for. AsmMat:ri!ient7:2. with his usual delicacy, took this opportunity, the true state of the case. George the Thi rd, more becoming by the visit of the King of Hanover, to d' ill i r n his accession to the throne, surrendered to t he . pute the pecuniary claims of the royal family, it the immense hereditary revenues of the Crown O aep n fntl s tae ideration that an adequate civil list should be up f u pa I shortlyor tl upon a m e c secured to him and his successors, and that the junior me in_ bers of the royal family should be suitably provided for. - The king, we need not say, faithfully fulfilled his part of the bargain. The hereditary revenues have for eighty and more formed part of the public income. But h as the n ation gained or lost by the bargain ? About ten years ago Sir R. H. Inglis moved for a return of the hereditary revenues, by which return it appears that the nation had gained—we are afraid to say how many mions, but the gain is certainly enormous, and it is such as irfeft to the junior branches of the royal family, as great part of it must have been but for the bargain between the king and parliament, would have rendered them—numerous as they were in George the Third's reign—incomparably the richest subjects of the crown. When, therefore, a demand is made in behalf of any of these junior members, it is a demand not of favour, b u t of right—a demand of the fulfillment of a bargain by % c hid, the country has been a prodigious gainer. As to Mr. Hume'. notable project of robbing the King of Hanover, because his majesty is an independent sovereign, the answer is, that the King of Hanover's British revenue is his patrimony, se cured to him by his father—a patrimony over which the parliament has no more rightful power than it has over the Duke of Devonshire's estates, and we suppose Mr. Hume does not claim a power over that.
