Mr. Wood, as the public are already aware, is proceeding to erect this church and to endow it at his own expense.• Ile has also undertaken to provide a school-room and a minister's house—all of which are now in progress—on the same estate of his late father, which he inherited. At the appointed time, and indeed lung before it, an immense living mass was seen pouring in from both the town and the country to the place of at4ion. A convenient plat- Vrin had been provided fur the ladies, and for those who went to take part in the proceediovs. A number of gentlemen had arranged to meet at the Exchange, and a very considerable body of the most respectable in station proceeded at the ap pointed time to the hottse of flee lets Mr. W oo d, in Horton road, where the J . were oined b, a considerable body of the who h d met at the house or Mr Rand.

THE STRASBUaII REVaLUTioN, PARis Nov. 1--At six o'clock on Satu r d a y morn i ng last, (Oct. 29,) Louis Napoleon Buoeaparte called upon the Colonel of Artillery, Vaudrey, in gar rison at Strasburg, with whom he had been for some time in cor respondence. The colonel conducted him to the barracks of his regiment, assembled the men, and presenting Louis to them, suet, " Louis Philippe is no more. His government has been overturned in Paris. There is an end to the dynasty of Or leans. Behold the descendant of " the great man." Ile is worthy of being our King. " Vice Napoleon Louis Blume p rte f" The soldiers joined in this cry, and immediately took up arms. Pickets were immediately marched to the hotels of the different authorities by whom the prefect and the general of brigade in command of the place were arrested. Colonel Par (pin (brother of the barrister who defended Fieschi) accompa nied Louis Napoleon to the house of General Voirol, and found him just getting out of bed. Colonel Parquin having or dered his men to arrest the general, the latter rushed to his bed side, and drew out a pistol, which he levelled at Tarquin, and drew the trigger, but the pistol missed tire. The general then ran behind a desk. and addressed the soldiers, assuring them that they bad been grossly deceived, and pointing at Parquin, as the principal in the fraud, ordered them to arrest him. The soldiers in one moment resumed the exercise of their senses, and, furious at the idea of being made the tools of an intrigeant and a liar, seized him and carried him off to• their quarters, where they told their comrades what had occurred. In an in stant the truth flashed on the soldiers, whose indignation was roused to the utmost by finding that thee- had been duped, and they would have instautly torn to pieces their colonel, Louis Napoleon, and the other chiefs of the revolt, had they not been saved by the timely arrival of General Voirol. at the head of a body of troops of the garrison. In an instant all the revolteir were in custody ; the magistrates previously arrested by them were restored to liberty, and, before the people of Strasburg knew anything respecting it, the movement was suppressed. The ringleaders arrested are eight in number. ( From the Morning Herold.) ATTEMPTED INSURRECTION AT VENDOMR. — The Ministerial evening Journal contains the following :--" An attempt at a military insurrection, still more senseless than that of Stras burg, has just taken place at Vendotne—an attempt which, in spite of its insignificance, merits some attention, on account of the coincidence between the dates of the two movements ; for, as to the result of such rash and culpable undertakings, not the slightest apprehension can be entertained. The following are the particulars of this insane attempt, made on the 30th ult., upon the loyalty of the Ist Regiment of Hussars, in garrison, at VendOrne.—A Brigadier of the fourth squadron, named Bruyant, was at the inn of the Tete Noire, with 14 Hussars of the Regiment, and at this meeting a plan had been adopted to sound to horse during the night, to seize upon the military posts, to master the officers on duty, to arrest the authorities, and to proclaim the republic. The rebels were then to march upon the neighbouring towns to increase their party. The meeting, before it broke up, was denounced to the Lieuten ant-Colonel of the regiment, who lost no time in ordering the Brigadier and his fourteen accomplices to be arrested. On being conducted to the guari-house, Bruyant availed himself of a moment of liberty to fite a pistol at a Quarter-master, placing the muzzle close to the body of the unfortunate man, who was instantly shot dead. Bruyant profited by the confu sion occasioned by the event, escaped from his guards, swain across the Loir, and was soon out of sight. His principal ac complice, the hussar Thierry, also escaped at the first alerts. At two o'clock in the morning. Bruyant voluntarily returned to the barracks, gave himself up, and was immediately placed in confinement. Ile was afterwards interrogated by the Pro cureur du Roi, acoompanied by the sub-Prefect, but he made no concealment of his plans or of his senseless hopes. 'Pile llussars, who had assembled at the Tete Noire, and whose arms were loaded, have been arrested, and have already undergone an examination. This echaufniree was confined to the bar racks of the regiment, the tranquillity of the town of Vendeune not having been for a moment interrupted. Ail the posts have been doubled, and the National Guards were under arms on the first summons from the sub-Piefect and the municipal authori ties." SPAIN. (Front the Correspondent of the Morning Herald.) M .tontp, OcT. 27.—1 have only time to inform you that there was a very animated debate this day in the Cortes respecting the question of the regency. It was proposed that the matter should be discussed by the deputies, and a committee formed to report thereon. Upon which a deputy, named Pizarro, arose and said, that any diseussiun upon the proposal that the regency should he confided to Christina alone was an evident infraction of the constitution. Ile used very strung language indeed in in support of his view of the case, but was repeatedly called to order by the president, who appeared to be very much irritated. Pizarro, nothing daunted at these interruptions, advanced close to the president's seat, and thundered out that he was a deputy of the milieu; that the president was nothing more; and that he did not acknowledge in him any right to censure his lan guage. A scene of confusion now ensued, and some persons supported strongly Pizarro's arguments; amongst others a cu rate, who was also a stickler for the glorious constitution. The matter ended with the proposal of the question, which was sup ported by 44 members, and ouposed by 11, out of a house of 89 members. When the question became warm, the remaining deputies left the house in the most cowardly manner, refusing to vote either pre or eon. This will give you some idea of the patriotism of the representatives of the National Congress as it is called. Mendizabal said that the announcement of the non-payment of the dividend was not in conformity to the arrangement agreed upon by hiru, as it was his purpose to pay it by treasury bills. This was the addition to his report of which I spoke to you yesterday, but of which I cannot give you details by this post. Gomez, by the last accounts, was close to Ahneida. and, from the report of Colonel Flinter, his force is about 13,000 fighting -men. - From this you will at once perceive that all attempts on the part of the Queen's guards toilistodge him from his positions are likely to prove fruitless. The people of F,tremadura are in the most , 7i-heartened state, and., by way of mending the matter, have been assured that the inhabitants of Badajoz hare pro cialuied the republic. The news received of the attack by the Carlists upon Bilima has produced a great sensation here, as it is supposed that the inhabitants of that tuwn will not be able to make aiiv ellicient resistance. The funds continue i❑ the most depressed state. No negocia tions for cash have been made to-day. J. W. W. A telegraphic despatch from- Bayonne, received yestet day, announces that the Spanish Cortes have declared the Queen sole regent during the minority of her daughter. By our Ma drid correspondence we find that a proposition to this effect, signed by several deputies, was made in the sitting of October '26th in the following terms :—" The General Cortes of the ❑a- lion confirm to her Majesty the Queen Regent the title and authority with which she is invested in that capacity during the minority of her august daughter, Donna Isabella IL" In the same sitting a committee of nine members was appointed to draw up a plan for putting an end speedily to the civ►l war. TURK Y. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 12.—Th, , plague is the all-absorbing topic at this time. The unseasonable warmth, or rather heat, of th e autumn, and its excessive dryness, have given the malady a fatal intensity, cod ninny per so n s a tt ac ked yesterday after noon were buried this morning. Few of those echo are unfor tunate enough to be attained by the enemy, escape, whilst the deadly poison is spreading farand wide, from the Seven Towers to the mouth of the Black Sea. Ail classes, from the highest to the lowest, all nations, from the cautious Frank to the reck less Turk, are infected. In fact, no one can reckon himself safe. Aceortliug to the statistic report drawn under the direc tion of the Seraskier Pacha,upwards of 1,860 burials took place during the pest week, and it is feared that the present week will present evidence of a much heavier mortality. We want pelting rains, ratting storms, and pinching cold, whilst we have nothing but cloudless skies, deathlike calms, and a hot close unwhole some atmospheie. In the meantime, the cemeteries are assum ing the appearance of ploughed fields, and Constantinople is anything but a comfortable residence. My next door neigh bours at Galata are both what we call here compromised. Three plague subjects have been removed from one house, and one from the other. The disorder has got amongst the troops, too, and is Last thinning their ranks. Ulliess we have a speedy change of weather we s h a ll b e reduced to the necess i ty of be coiniug prisoners for hours, until the pestilence moderates. 1 nee d Flo idly say tl!.it. business is nearly at a stand under such circumstances. Even diplomacy is languid, and the Minister of the interior has been absent from the Forte fur the last ten days,—Murning Herald. HOLLAND. „ r t h e States-(;eueral i n reply to the King's speech. The Dutch papers, which are of Saturday's date, contain the " a r d h d e re t s w s o Chambers having agreed on the terms of the address, it was presented by a deputation un Wednesday last. In gene ral the address echoes back the sentiments of the speech, and its insertion at length is therefore unnecessary. It is reported that the King of Holland hairbeen earnestly urged to agree fur an arrangement in accordance with the '24 articles, which his Dutch Majesty fortnurly rejected, are now equally obje c ted to by a party it, Belgium. SWITZERLAND. The Swiss blockade has been raised on the Upper Rhine frontier, except in some of the roads near Donlie. The Courier Froireuis says that letters from all parts of Swit -zerlaud speak of the crowds of British mercantile travellers traversing the country in all directions, and busily employed in lauding the superiorit) of their manufactured goods over those of France. FOREIGN MISCELLANY. It is stated in the latest accounts from Africa. that all the troop s destined for the expedition to Constantine were to have assembled at Bent before the '2sth of October, and to coni mence their ma rc h a t f our o ' c l oc k on th e morning of the Ist of November.

The Sardinian government has just reduced the custom duties on the importation of the infer or sorts of corn, dried vegetables, and other farinaceous food.—Cwwitutionnel. A letter of the 17th ult from Cadiz announces the arrival at that poit of three French ships of the line and two brigs, which, with the ahipsalready there, form a squadron of seven vessels. The director of the museum et Kertch, a town in the Crimea' on the Black sea,, ately discovered an ancient tomb, of oblong shape, formed of very large hewn stones without any cement, containing a species of coffin in cyprus wood, enclosing a bronze urn, with the cover firmly soldered on, in which were the remains of burnt bones. Near the urn were two broken vases of a labaster, which probably contained odoriferous es sences as used by the Greeks at their funerals. The shape of the urn, which has three handles. and is in line preservation, makes it of high interest and value. It is not p er h a p s possible to fix its precise date, hut there is every reason to believe, from the form and constrnct ion of the tomb, that it goes as co back as the first colonization of this country by the Greeks—that is, 150 years before Christ. • Some days ago two young men, at Clermont Ferraud, noted fur their dissolute habits, were overheard holding a conversation, in which one of them appeared to be endeavouring to dissuade the other from commAtu4; suicide. Ile did not prevail. for the report of a picot was immediately afterwards heard, and the most resolute of the two was found with parts of both his jaws and the roof of his month blown away. lie was Carrift to the Hotel Divu, still breathing, but in a hopeless state. Ilk companion liAd fled, but iii a few hours afterwards the police receiv e d i n f o] , illation that a similar event had taken place at the Hughes, and on going to the spot found him totally lifeless. Another su i c id e has lately occurred at Marseilles. A Jewish merchant had been married . for seteral teats. and bad a child two years old. The union was at first perfectly happy, but, from unaccountable stir wises, the wife became jealons of the husband, and adopted such a line of conduct towards him that he became alarmed for his life, and sued for a separation.

The AUgemeine Zeitung contains a long anti le, denouncing the proceedings of youn Italy, and complaining that the Engl!sh government allows Alaita to become place of refuge for the seditious Italians, whence they can carry on their treasonable intentions against the government. SWITZERLAND.—The Temps says —`• We learn from Berne, by a letter of the 30th, that on the preceedmg evening a despatch had been received from Lord Palmerston, in which we are as 'sured his lordship stated that the British government regarded his position of Switzerland, not only with interest hut anxiety, and recommended a prompt arrangement with France. This despatch, which was immediately communieatod to the com mittee of the diet, and which puts an end to all hope of medi tation. appeared to produce a strong impression on all the mem bers." The decree convoking the cortes at Lisbon has at length been issued ; they are' to meet on the 18th of January. Accounts from Belize to the beginning of September, state that the cholera had much abated in its virtulence there; the deaths which at the previous advices were upwards 430 per day, having decreased to four or five. It had also been very preva lent down the coast among the mahogany cutters. Wednesday being All Souls Day (Jour des Morts,) more than 30►,000 persons visited four great cemeteries of Paris, to deposit flowers and offer up prayers at the tombs of their relatives and friends. Such was the pressure at the gates, it was necessary to make the visiters walk i❑ in files. Letters from Naples announce the breaking out of the cho lera in that city. There had been, so far, 11 ur 12 cases daily. The Governypent had made all possible arrangements that, if the disorder should spread, the sick might have prompt relief. Several cholera hospitals were fitted up, and magazines of pro visions for supplying the poorer classes with wholesome food at Very low prices. Ihe following was received at Lloyd's yesterday, from the agent at Grenada, dated September 21:—" Amongst the few arrivals that have taken place since our last, we have particu larly to notice his Majesty's ship Vestal, Captain Jones, from a cruise to windward of this island, with a slave-trading schooner the Negurida, under Portuguese colours (her prize), having 336 Africans on board. This vessel was formerly the Norma, under Spanish colours, but had the name and flag lately changed at the Cape de Verdes, is about 130 tuns burden, and badly equipped in ad respects for the nefarious mid -inhu man tratfic.-I'.S.

The Texians had liberated Santa Anna. Ile was on board the steam-packet, and about to sail for Vela Cruz. but about 150 of Kentucky men went on hoard, and obliged him to go on shore as a prisoner. Ile offered 2,000,000 dollars to set him free, but that was refused. The above vessel has brought to England about 560,000 dollars on merchants' account, and three passengers." COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE.

'l'he Lieutenant-Governor, Captain Stockenstrom, had been released from quarantine, and had taken the usual oaths in the presence of his excellency. 'l'he frontier remained quiet. ti commission had been issued by the governor to inquire into the present state of Table Bay, with a view to the construction of a safe and convenient harbour there. Sortie disturbances had taken place on the parade ground, in consequence of some preachers of the Wesleyan persuasion at tempting to hold forth, and they were driven from the place. A bill had been read a first time in the legislative council to indemnify the governor, and all persons acting under his orders and authority, in respect to all acts done under and by virtue of the martial * law lately in force in the eastern districts of the colony.—Morning Herald. Wet have received a series of the Hobart Town Colonial Times to the Ist of June. The recal of Governor Arthur is alleged to have been transmitted in the following terms:—" Sir, it has been resolved by the King in council that no governor shall remain in any of the British colonies for more than six years; and, as it appears that you have now been nearly double that period in the government of Van Diemen's Land, it is not ne cessary that I should assign any other reason for having felt it my duty to advise his Majesty that you should be immediately recalled, and I have to convey to you his Majesty's coinnianil that on receipt of this despatch vau will, with as little delay as possible, repair to this office. (Signed) • ELG.' "—These papers contain from Sydney a proclamation by his Excellency Major-General Sir R. Bourke, stating that a flagrant Outrage having been committed upon the aboriginal natives of Western Port by a party of white men, and that other outrages have been committed by Storkmen and others upon the natives in the neighbourhood of Port Philip, it is made known that the whole of the country on the southern coast of New Holland, ex tending westward from Wilson's promontory to the 120th de gree of east longitude, reckoning from the meridian of Greenwich, being within the limits of New South Wales, all persous resid ing or being within the same are subject to the laws in force in the colony; and that the promptest measures will be taken to cause all persons who may be guilty of any outrage against the aboriginal natives to be brought to trial before the S u p reme Court of New South Wales, and punished accordingly. It ap pears that General Bourke had despatched a revenue cutter to Port Philip, and a small expedition had proceeded by land to the same destination.

" The object of convoking the present parliament was to make a renewed effort on the part of his Majesty to restore some interval of repose to his Canadian people. I lament, however, that instead of awaiting the developement of those measures which are in preparation, but which, to be effectual, must be matured with time and attention, a more hasty decision continues to be insisted upon, and the province is even threaten ed with the abandonment, by one branch of the legislature, of the duties confided to it by the constitution. Without dwelling on this inauspicious project, I will merely observe that, if it be persisted in, the number of temporary acts in Lower Canada, and the importance of some which ate, not long hence, to expire, must give peculiar effect in this province to a decision which, in no country endowed with powers of legisla tion, could be otherwise than a severe privation and a source of public suffering. " Gentlemen, in taking leave of you, I will only express the hope I am unwilling to forego, that however the political em barrassments of the country may appear to multiply around us, the inherent elements of prosperity and contentment which it contains may triumph ouer all adventitious causes of difficulty.

Lt addition to this, however, an American paper of the 10th nit. states, confidently, that the Governor-in-Chief has abso lutely dissolved the House of Assembly in anger. If so, his lordship's temporising has brought things to a pretty pass in Lower Canada.

PROVINCIAL REGISTRATIONS. EAST SURREY.— Messrs. Knox and Lennard sat at the See aisns House, tiorsettionger-lane, for the revision of the lists of county voters in the western division or the hundred of Brix ton. There was little difference between the present lists and those of the previous year. The Objections were comparatively few, and were taken by the overseers, and not by either the conservative or radical party. 'line lists of the parishes of Bat tersea, Wandsworth, Putney, Merton, Toulon, Wimbledon, and Pettge having been gone through, the court adjourned. Bercwrost, Nov. 4.—The revision of the lists of voters for this borough conehided last night, but nothing of interest has occurred since our last report, excepting that in eccordance with the decision given on Wednesday, the claims of the com pound tenant s Lave been disallowed. The consequence the radicals look uncommonly blue, as out of nearly 300 claims, they have establish e d but a dozen. 'rho revision of the county liFts in this neirrnhourhond took place yesterday, before Mr. Deeds and Sir W. Riddle, but there was scarcely anything to do.

Much is hoped from the approaching meeting' of the Irish Metropolitan Conservative Society, at which deputations Irian this several provincial conservative societies are expected to at tend. The Earl of Bandon and several conservative gentle men of distinction, have, as we have lately seen, notified their intention of being in Dublin on the ocasion, as a deputation from the cork conservative society ; and it is even thought that deputations from similar bodies at the other side of the c hann e l will embrace the Opportunity to testify their sympathy with their Irish protestant brethren. Union and stedtast determination seldom fail when exerted in a good cause. We could sincerely wish that no necessity for such meetings really existed; but It is quite notorious that such is not the case. The close alliance of the present government with open conspirators against pro testantism, and the arrangements now in progress to expel the im perative duty of truth, liberty , and e quity, render it an duty fur the sound part of the community to come forward, and to take wholesome counsel together fur the preservation of what yet remains of civil and religious liberty.—Dublin Record.

ENNIscoRTHY TITUR AFFAin. In reference to that. bite tithe affair at Enuiscorthy, which the Wexford Conservative describes as a " tragi-comedy," in which the actors displayed the "three-fold character of rebels. robbers, and murderers;" the same journal glass a fact which is worthy of attention, as it tends to reveal the very spring which sets the present mob-machinery in motion. "From the altar of a chapel, not a hundred miles from Oylegate, after mass, a priest, after descanting on the pi inciples of christian charity and benelvolence, of which he himself is the very type, exhorted his auditors not to neglect the assembling of them selves together. Boys,' said he, ' you must all attend the cant at Enniscorthy, on Wednesday, both men and women, except such of you as cannot escape from drink, not to throw disgrace upon the parish. I want you to keep quiet, and do no harm, but crowd up the place, and don't let them do anything. This is our last resource, and if they fsil in this they'll give it up as a bad job. But don't forget that if any of you came prepared to pay for second mass you might as well go to the sacristy and wait for are there.' " OUTRAGE. The Ca4lebar Telegraph, Dr. M`Hale's own journal, gives the following outrage :—" On Tuesday last a man named Den nis Murray, driver to Thomas Ormsby, Esq., of Knockmon, went to serve Exchequer notices for tithes on the tenantry of that gentleman residing on the lands of Lisbrogan, near the town of Swinford. Murray stopped that night at the house of a man named Gallaher, a tenant on the lands. During the night a large party of men s•urounded the house, ten of whom, having their faces blackened, entered, and dragging Murray forth, beat him severely, and burned the original of the notices he had served during the day. They next proceeded to a field where a mule which Murray had ridden was at grass, and cut off its ears. We understand that several summonses have been served by the police stationed at Swinford, and that a magis terial investigation will be this day held to endeavour to discover the perpetrators. The tenantry on the lands of Lisbrogan have since the occurrence paid up all their tithes." ---- THE ANGLO SPANISH LEGION. A number of men belonging to the British Legion have ar rived at Portsmouth from San Sebastian, who were wounded in the engagement of the let of October, in a most deplorable condition, and have been placed on board the Swiftsure depot ship until money can be obtained to pay them up their arrears. For the last few days many of them have come up to town sooner than remain incarcerated on board the hulk, and yester day the office of the agents was filled by these poor deluded fellows applying for what is due to them. The answer to their demands was, as usual , that " ther e i s n o mone y ." Their ap pearance was most distressing, with scarcely any thing to cover them from the inclemency of the weather. Among theta were several of those men who had deserted in the service of Don Carlos, and who were subsequently sent to Bayonne, in France, and from thence forwarded by the British Consul at that port to the head-quarters of General De Lacy Evans, at San Sebastian, who-has sent theta back to this country. They positively deny that they deserted the enemy, but that they were taken pri soners of war, and therefore consider that they are entitled to their arrears of pay—their claims have been as positively re fused. During the time they were in the hands of Don Carlos, they say that they were treated with the greatest kindness, but on their arrival at Bayonne, had it not been for the interference of the French military and municipal authorities, th e y m i g ht have starved, as the English Consul there would render them no assistance, or could not, ou the plea that he did not consider them as British subjects but Spanish deserters. A considera ble sum of money is daily expected from Madrid by the agents in London, when all those whose claims can be substantiated have been promised they shall be paid. In consequence of the great losses experienced by the Legion from deaths, illness, and other casualties, it is stated that as soon as Senor Mendiza bid can procure funds, recruiting will commence again at Tower hill and Westminster, as formerly. By the last advices received in town by the friends of General Evans, he intends taking up his winter quarters at San Sebastian, although at one time he had fixed on Bilboa and Santander, and to have left the British marines to have kept possession of the former fortifications, to which it appears Lord Palmerston has objected, on the ground of his nim-intervention system, although last week a strong de tachment of marines and artillery-men left Woolwich and Portsmouth on board his Majesty's steamer Rhadamanthus, to reinforce Commodore Lord John Hay's squadron on the nor thern coast of Spain.—Bolton Chronicle. RAILWAYS. Thirty-five railway bills passed the legislature during the last sessions, of which five are merely for the alteration of lines al ready authorized to be made, and 30 for new hues, the length of which is 094 miles, 1 furlong 90 yards, and the estimated cost of formation, £17,595,000, or at the rate of £17,700 per mile ,• and the annual expense of working and maintenance £1,571 per mile. The most expensive lines are the London Grand Junction, the estimated cost or which is £228,571 per mile, and the expense of working £15,233 per mile ; the London and Blackwell Commercial, the estimated cost of which is £183,588 per mile, and the cost of working, £8,573 per mile; and the Deptford Pier Junction, the estimated cost of which is at the rate of £131,806 per mile, and the cost of working at the rate of £1,500 per mile. Of the 30 railways above enumerated, 19 have no tunnels, and the remaining 11 have 27, the length of which is 11 miles, 7 furlongs, 35 yards, or, upon an average, 775 yards each. or those tunnels 5 are upon the Leeds and Derby, of the length of 3,208 yards; 4 upon the Northern and Eastern, of the length 1,770 yards ; 4 upon the South-Eastern, of the length of 5874 yards, and 3 upon the Ulster line, of the length of 1200 yards. The most objectionable curves are upon the Manches ter and Leeds line, of which there are 33 in a distance of 41 miles, and most of them of small radius. The curves upon the other lines are generally favourable. Of these 30 railways, 17 have no inclined planes to be worked by assistant engines, either stationary or locomotive ; the remaining 13 have 24 planes to be so worked, of which 3 aro upon the Manchester and Leeds line; the first is 4 miles long, and the second 41 miles, both of them with an inclination of 1 in 165 ; the third is 3 miles, 7 furlongs in length, with an inclination of 1 in 136. The steepest inclined plane is upon the 'lrem ou th a R a il way, the length of which is 4 furlongs 131 yards, with an inclination of lin 9. The Newcastle and North Shields Railway has a plane 400 yards long, w ith an inclination of li n 15i . A n d the Merthyr 1 ydvil and Cardiff has 3 short self-acti ng p l anes, w i t h ay in inclinations az o e. f 1 in 18, 1 in 20 , and 1 in 25 respectively.—,Flail way LORD JOHN and the VOICE from SIIOREDITCH. Lord John lay lolling in stately b e d With a green silk night-cap about his head— O'Connell wears green—and 'tis thus Lord John The green silk his l►ttle head putteth upon ; For though he admireth Sheil's wild scream, It is of O'Connell he loves to dream;— For many sweet dreams of O'Connell he's had— Dreams which have made his small heart glad; Aud , by binding his colours about his brain Ho hopes to dream of him again and again. But as we were saying, the Noble Lord On stately bed was spread abroad, His legs and his arms all carelessly toss'd O❑ cambric cushions, down•emboss'd With a gold colour'd canopy over his head, And curtaius - of gold colour round him spread, Loop'd up here and there with golden cord— Such as beseerueth a Noble Lord. That bed, on which lay this Lord so small, Was the best spare bed in Holkharn Hall. Light were his Lordship's twilight dreams— Sometimes he revell'd in exquisite creams, Which in Holkhain dairy fill many a pan, All superintended by Lady Ann; And sometimes he dreamt of old Mr. Coke And John Wilson Croker's John Bull ified joke. Then, over his fancy, would corn• and go, Pheasant and partridge and double-bang Joe; And lost were his thoughts of Ruda and Whigs In peaceful punderiugs on Coke's fat pigs ; And all the glories, great and small, Which surrounded him there, at Ilolkhain Hall. Pity it were such dream s as th ese, Should be scatter 'd like chaff before the breeze; But so it was, that, when morn i ng b ro k e Lord John was disturbed b old Mr. Coke, Who tapp'd at his door and cried, " Lord Russ e ll! "Why St. Leonardhoreditch i s a ll i n a b ust l e ! "The rascally, Radical, rabble rout, "Declare that at last they have found you out! "They swear you're the smallest of all the Patricians, " And a MERE FARTHING HUSHLIGHT among Politicians ! Lord Russell he sat himself up on end, And taking a look at his ancient friend, He hastily asked—" Mr. Coke—is that you ?" It i s ," gaud Coke, "and the new s i s t rue !" " And true it may be," said Lord Russell, " for me; F or w h a t care I, Mr. Coke, do you see, have (mind w e ou t , k t w e tykei, say, and the worth o f th eir s h out, For the m en of Shureditch?—tut—fiddl e -d e- d ee!— "Don't taik of such people , good Coke, to me.

If the writer whose design is only to animadvert upon the slighter irregularities in the morals of mankind, or to chasten and refine a vitiated taste respecting works of imagination, finds embarrassment on making his first ad dress to his readers, with what apprehensions must his mind be filled who calls, for the first time, public atten tion to his labours, which involve questions of the high est interest to society—questions of national policy, both civil and religious, upon which depend the happiness and the prosperity of millions—questions of legislation upon which hang the liberty, the civil security, the peace of a nation—questions, in fine, which leave nothing un touched that forms a part of the active economy of moral and social man--of man considered in his various rela- tions, temporal and eternal ? In this character, and charged with these high designs, we now appear before the public ; and in order that we may the better secure their confidence, we shall briefly, but explicitly, state the course we intend to pursue. We are of no party, if by party be meant the adoption of sentiments or opinions as deriving their authority from men. We shall ever exercise our unbiased judg ments on every question brought before us, and hold our selves amenable to none but Him " who knoweth the thoughts of the heart," and to whom, in a very little time, we must render up our account. If the principle springing from such a source identify us with Conserva tives, we rejoice to find so much intelligence and moral worth going along with us in the path of duty. We have, under such circumstances, no objection to receive the prenomen of Conservative, and we will now declare in what sense we accept it, and the reasons of that ac ceptance. We confess ourselves to be conservatives of those in• stitutions under whose auspicious influence history has recorded the rise of Britain to her present enviable state; in which she appears the first among the kingdoms of the earth. When we move our finger over the man of the world, and accidentally find concealed beneath its narrow touch our little isle, and then survey the mighty empires which occupy the larger spaces upon it, an involuntary feeling of pride fills the heart to think, that such a little spot should be the most important upon the globe. We secretly exult, and are ready to exclaim, there—in that speck—there is the seat of liberty, raised on the char tered foundations secured to us by the nobles of the land—there kings rule for the people's good, and laws are framed on principles of justice—there holy temples rise to the supreme Lord of the earth, and the Redeemer acknowledges his kingdom—would we could add, that idolatry and gross superstition had no altars there—there navigation spreads her sail of every colour, whilst cons. coerce, to minister to its enjoyments, lays the whole globe under a contribution—there the arts flourish that embel- lisp life, and science that daily multiplies the resources of wealth—there reigns the supremacy of the sea, and there is seen, when fatal necessity calls, the stern front of war, ready to crush the pretensions of injustice, and repress the darings of ambition. When we remember these things—and it is criminal to forget them—and farther recollect that it has been under (we almost tremble whilst we use the expression) that triune system of government, of King, Lords, and Commons, acting with independent powers, but all con spiring to the same end, that all these blessings have grown up, flourished, and are now perpetuated to us, can we, is it possible, stifle our gratitude for, or withhold our humble voice of support from, conservative princi ples ? We are sensible of the good we receive from them, and feel constrained to acknowledge it. Indeed it seems to us a species of madness to reject generations of happy experience, for the speculative theories of perfect ability—a contravention of wisdom to depart from a road, every step of which has advanced us from blessing to blessing, in the visionary hope that a bye-path may conduct us more rapidly onwards to national happiness. How just is the sentiment of the poet, as well when ap plied to political innovation as to the want of moral pru dence t '• Few Know their own good, or knowing it, pursue." There is in this accumulated testimony of ages a sacred voice which proclaims a practical adaptability of princi ples to the economy of our climate, even independentl t i• of all reference to the principles themselves. That on which time has laid its consecrating hand is entiteed to our respect. We cannot but feel that our constitution must be founded upon the solid rock of truth and justice, since those alone could have preserved it amidst the raging fury of so many adverse storms and national convulsions that have successively assailed it through such a cycle of of generations. But we take even that higher ground, and shall not be reluctant to canvass, as we are assured we can vindicate, the prineipes themselves ; and, al though the limited space of a single paper forbids us to enter upon so extended a field now, we shall, from time to time, examine and present to our readers the elements of our political and religious institutions, under a firm conviction that the better they are known, the more they will be admired. After this general statement it may seem almost needless to add, that we shall, ever stand forward defenders of church and state as indissolubly inter woven with each other; for assuredly it would now be no more possible to preserve the constitution in a state of healthy existence, if we were to separate the vital functions imparted to it by our established church, than it would to be keep alive and in full energy the animal machine after the deprivation of its heart. Amongst a multitude of other advantages resulting from this union is, that no law can be entered upon the statute-book be fore the guardians of our most holy apostolic church have acknowledged its accordance with, or declared its repug nance to, the Word of God—an invaluable guarantee to ‘ldiolesome But whilst we thus declare ourselves unbending advo- Nov, H. !5.:7.'6. cares Of ihe prhwiplev of oar constitution in, church and state, we shall always be ready to lend our aid to remove any ascertained corruptions that may have insinuated themselves into either. But we shall never venture to sake up the political knife, except it be to exscind a tu mour that impedes the action, or altogether suspends the function of an ikuportant limb, in order that it may appear again in its original health and gracefulness. It is the ig norance of science that leads the surgeon to indiscriminate amputation. Unhappily we live in times when too many want this science, and who, therefore, evince more promptitude to mutilate the lovely structure of our con stititution than to remove any excrescences that may have grown out of it. We shall ever feel a deep interest in the social pros perity of the town of Liverpool; and, though our influ ence be small, and our powers humble, we shall always use our best endeavours to cultivate a correct moral sense among our numerous readers, knowing, that whilst ac cessions of wealth may give greatness, and diffusion of knowledge add power to society, it is virtue founded upon religion that imparts to it all its lustre. To the lovers of philosophy and literature we shall render ourselves, as far as the limits of a newspaper will allow, assiduous servants. We purpose to comment freely upon the lectures delivered in our town, not from a de sire to indulge in critical reflections, or ostentatiously to display our learning, but to illustrate what may appear to us obscure, to direct attention to what may seem use ful, and, if we detect error, with a gentle hand to correct it. We shall never shrink from a vindication of our sen timents by whomsoever impugned, but we shall never disgrace our columns by personality or abuse. If we cannot convince by argument, we will never traduce by slander; nor wound the feelings of him whom we cannot reclaim from error. We do not hold all men as our ene mies who differ from ns in sentiment, but we shall ask no man for his voice before we have secured his judg ment. We commence our labours during a period of extreme agitation, when many of the bonds of social life are broken, and many more relaxed—when thousands are " fretting themselves to do evil," and multitude* "disquiet themselves in vain." At such a moment it would be the extreme of wickedness to add to the excite ment. Our motto is—peace—truth—htability. We, purpose shortly to make a strong and, we hope, a suc-, crossful appeal to our radical reforming townsmen, on the existing policy of the nation. If, till then, we withhold our consent to their opinions, and deny them what they ask, we beg to qualify our refusal with the observation of a classical writer—" Quid (mod scope etiam petendi repulsa utilis fait, cui quad petierat impetrasse damno- , sum erat." • In the report of the election of Dock Trustees we have found but little matter for comment. They who are invested with power have exercised it, as men usually do, if not with justice at least according to their discretion. But whilst we would leave every man in the full posses.. sion of this privilege, as we claim it for ourselves, we would still advise those in whose hands are great "dis posings" to evince moderation. There is some ambi guity in the phrase "supremacy of the town of Liver pool," as employed by Mr. Councillor Rathbone. There may be, and there seems to be, an imparium in imporio existing here ; but surely Mr. R. did ❑ot wish to imply, that the rate-payers are not part of the town of Liver pool. Though he very explicitly declares his opinion of their incapability to manage the town estate, yet to them is now committed the duty of electing a portion of the trustees; by whose judgment it is (at least constructive ly) to be governed. Although the existing arrangement may be more in accordance with Mr. Rathbone's views and wishes, yet it does not appear how he has " infused more of the repre-'.' r ' sentative system" into his municipal government, by-:: r f committing the Dock Trusteeship to members of the.." - Council (of whom it virtually now consists) than had the J': rate-payers elected an entire body of trustees, instead of a fractional part of them. But we do not press Mr. 11..1: to reconcile these discrepancies —the meaning of men sometimes to be gathered not from the grammatical con-..;9 struction of their words, but from a peculiar turn of ex pression, perhaps quite insignificant in itself, and which 11 will become wholly unintelligible in half-a-century after- . : 5 L wards, but is plain and obvious enough at the moment off its birth. Though we cannot hope that the rebuke of Mr. Councillor Heyworth will work out a conversion of ii sentiment, it may, when the excitement is over, be mat ter of reflection. One thing is still reserved to the town of Liverpool. Though the power of the Dock Trustee ship, with its annexed patronage and consequent influ- , ence, has. fallen into radical hands, the manner of dis charging the trust is an object that should engage the' ',; (j " uninterrupted attention of the town, ani especially of the ''t rate• payers of Liverpool. ix, Li9ii ' BOLTON.-Mr. Edward Badger has been appointed borough reeve of Great Bolton, for the ensuing year, and Messrs.

DANCING.--We perceive that Mr. Harwood announces his fourth ball for the season to take place on Wednesday, the 16th November. For the good management usually displayed by Mr. Harwood, and his anxiety iu catering well for his friends, we have no doubt that it will be honoured with a very numerous attendance. QUEEN OF TIIE Ist.n.--This splendid vessel has shown her superiority by the regularity of her passages during the late severe weather. We understand that the company owning the Queen of the Isle have on the stocks a vessel which will be far superior to her not only in accommodation, but also in steam power. This company have now the undisputed range of sea . between Liverpool and the Isle of Man, having driven all their competitors out of the field.

Two engines were immediately despatched, together with a supply of water, and the fire was confined to the lower story, in which it originated, and was speedily extinguished. The interior of the shop, however, with its contents, was consumed.
