PROMOLI AND HAUSBUmG, OLD POSTOFFICE BUILDINGS. CORRESPONDE CE. BIRKENHEAD RAILWAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. perceive by the public papers that the Chester and Birkenhead Railway Company are about to extend their line, by a tunnel or otherwise, as far as the Monks' Ferry ; and as I have never heard of their having made any application to parliament in order to enable them to take such step, I am at a loss to know whence they derive their authority. Probably you will inform me. Their own act is very explicit on that point, by which they are expressly forbidden to extend their line beyond Grange• lane. They wanted to extend it to Woodside Ferry, but parliament, very justly considering it would be a mono poly, would not allow them to extend it to any one of the terries without their making and maintaining, at their own cost, a line to each of the ferries, viz., Tranmere, Birkenhead, and Woodside, (Monks' Ferry not being then in existence.) What are the proprietors of those ferries about ?—and what can the inhabitants of Birken head be about, to quietly suffer the terminus to be re moved from them, which legitimately belongs to them ? For the only advantage which any town can derive from a railroad, is, having its terminus ; but the contemplated plan would, in effect, make Liverpool the terminus, in stead of Birkenhead. What, then, can the commission ers of Birkenhead be about, that they do not better pro tect the rights and privileges of their constituents ? It is said that the commissioners themselves are not taking any steps to prevent it, but rather are giving their sanc tion to it. if such be the case, I can only say, that the railway company are better represented in thy, Commis sioners'-room than the ratepayers of Birkenhead, which may easily be accounted for, when, be it remembered, several of the railway directors are the directors in the Commissioners'-room, and the solicitor to the railway company is likewise the solicitor to the commissioners. Be it likewise remembered that for several years past the ratepayers of Birkenhead have not been suffered to have a voice in the election of their representatives. I would, therefore, as one of the ratepayers, call upon the commis sioners, when they assemble in the Commissioners'-room, to consult the interests of their constituents rather than the interests of the railway company. 1 would likewise caution any person entering into any contract to make the said tunnel, not to break up the public streets, with out first obtaining the sanction of parliament. The powers of the commissioners are not optional— they ate specific; and their duty is to protect—not to destroy. I am, sir, yours, &c., A MISREPRESENTED RATEPAYER. Birkenhead, July 24th, 1843. The Great Western may be expected here from New York about Wednesday next. She sails again for New York on the sth of August. Her passage out was made in the short space of thirteen days nine hours. CAUTION AGAINST PLAYING AMONGST TIMBER.— On Thursday evening, John Crossie and another boy were playing amongst some timber opposite the Queen's Dock. They were seen climbing up a pile of two and a half inch planks, about twenty feet high. When they got near the top, the planks fell over upon them. Crossie was taken up bleeding profusely from the mouth and nos• trils. He died almost immediately, his scull being frac tured. CHOICE OF DEATH.—A court buffoon having offended his sovereign, the monarch ordered him to be brought be fore him, and with a stern countenance reproaching him,— " Wretch ! you shall receive the punishment you merit ; prepare yourself for death." The culprit in great terror fell upon his knees, and cried for mercy. " I will extend no other mercy to you," said the prince, " except per mitting you to choose what kind of death you will decide. Decide immediately, for I will be obeyed." " I adore your clemency," said the crafty jester, " I choose to die of old age." SUBSTITUTE FOR PISTOLS.—A correspondent of the Spectator suggests the following project for superseding duels : " Let seconds be appointed as now ; let them choose an umpire; let the seconds, if they can agree —or, if not, the umpire —dictate the apologies or explanations proper to be made by the offending party, or by both par ties, if both are in fault. Should a party refuse to obey the award so made, let his refusal be published in the newspapers, and himself be cut in decent society. And whether he gives or refuses the apology required of him, let the honour of the other party be considered as satis fied by the proceeding." Mr. E. M. Meader, employed in the office of the Phi ladelphia Inquirer, has invented a new mode of locking up forms and galleys. It consists in the application of moveable screws, which are used with a small key or wrench, with straight side and footsticks. The Inquirer states, that this plan of locking up has been subjected to the severest tests in that office, and has proved highly satisfactory. COBBETT ON DUELLING.—Cobbett, when challenged to fight, recommended the challenger to draw a Cobbett in chalk upon a door. and if he succeeded in hitting it to send him instant word, in order that he might have an opportunity of acknowledging that, had the true Cobbett been there, he, in all probability, would have been hit too. But bit or no hit, the bullets could have no effect what ever, he maintained, on the original cause of quarrel. GUY'S HOSPITAL BUILT BY LOSING A HUSBAND.— Thomas Guy, the founder of this hospital, had agreed to marry his female servant, whose manners pleased him. Some few days before the time arrived for celebrating their nuptials, he had ordered the pavement before his door to be repaired, to a particular spot. Having left home, his servant discovered a broken flag beyond the spot pointed out by her intended, desired it also to be replaced by ano. ther, thus prematurely assuming an authority, by telling the workmen to say to Mr. Guy, " I bid you, and he won't be angry." On his return, and being informed of her conduct i❑ this affair, he renounced his engagement with her, and, determined to devote his fortune to charity, built the hospital which bears his name, at a cost of £18,793 16s. Id., and afterwards left for the endowment of it the sum of £219,490 Os. 4d. PLANTING IN SCOTLAND.—The plantations newly or recently formed on the Sutherland estates contain in all 2,091 imperial acres, of which 1859 acres have been planted within the last five years, or since autumn 1837, and the remainder at different times prior to that, and posterior to 1836. These plantations occupy different altitudes varying from 50 to upwards of 1,000 feet above the level of the sea, and are situated in the parishes of Golspie, liornoch, Clyne, and Creich, on the north-west shore of the Domed] Frith, and in the vicinity of the 58th decree of north latitude, a district exposed to the sea breezes off the Moray Frith, but possessing a corn paritivtly mild climate, being defended from the more violent winds of the north and western oceans by succes sive mountains and uplands of considerable elevation.— Big/I/and Society Transactions. EXTRAORDINARY CASE. On the 3d instant Hayter Blackmore, Esq., M.P. for Wells, had three Bank of England notes, each of the value of £lOOO, stolen from his pocket between the Bank of Messrs. Masterman and Co., in London, and his residence in Regent-street. The manner in which the robbery was committed will appear more particularly here after. On Monday last Taylor Jennings, a clerk in the branch Bank of England in this town, was apprehended on a charge of having had one of the £lOOO notes so stolen in his possession. He was brought before Mr. Rushton on Tuesday morning, and discharged for want of evidence. On Tuesday afternoon John Anderson, a brothrel keeper, who has been well-known to the police as a notorious cha racter, but who has hitherto so adroitly eluded their vigi lance that no decided case could be matured against him, was placed at the bar, charged with having knowingly received the above note. Anderson keeps a brothel in Elliot-street, and he has several other houses of a similar description in various parts of the town, some of which are his own property. He, some time since, we under stand, purchased a house in a respectable street, which he turned into a brothel, very much to the annoyance of nu merous individuals in the neighbourhood. The source of his riches has been made manifest by this investigation. Mr. Owen, solicitor, appeared for the prisoner. Taylor Jennings, the clerk in the Branch Bank of Eng land, who was charged in the morning, now appeared as the principal witness against Anderson. Jennings is a respectable but rather a dissipated looking young man. He is married, and his wife was in court. He was ex amined at great length, and underwent a most harassing cross-examination by Mr. Owen. We have not space for a detailed account of Tuesday's proceedings. It ap peared that the witness had known Anderson about seven months, and he had been in the habit of frequenting his house in company with a girl of the town, named Harriet Bentley. The progress of their acquaintance, with other curious circumstances, will appear hereafter. On the ith instant the prisoner nderson requested Jennings to get a note for £lOOO changed for him. Jennings took the note and delivered it to a Mr. World. who keeps a public house in Windor-street, in which street the former lodged. He requested Wood to get it changed for hlm, and bor rowed from the latter £2O, one-half of which it appeared, he gave to Harriet Bentley. Mr. Wood took the note to Messrs. Barned, and those gentlemen, having heard an honest statement from Mr. Wood of how he came by it, had suspicion that all was not right, and stopped it. The circumstances were, subsequently, detailed by Wood to the conductors of the Branch Bank, and information having been*given to the police, it was discovered that the £lOOO note was one of those lost on the 3rd instant by Mr. Hayter Blackmore. Jennings was immediately ap prehended, and this led to the apprehension of Anderson, as above stated. Mr. Blackmore not being present, the prisoner was remanded till the following day. Mr. Rushton required Mr. Jennings to enter into his own recognisance in £2OO and to find two sureties in £lOO each, that he would appear and give evidence when called upon. The sureties not being forthcoming, he was detained. On Wednesday it was stated by Mr. Dowling, the com missioner of police, that Mr. Blackmore had arrived, and the examination would be resumed. The prisoner having been placed at the bar, Mr. Jennings, who had expressed a wish to vary his evidence, was placed in the witness-box. His evi dence was as follows :—I became acquainted with the pri soner Anderson in the latter end of September last. I went to his house in Elliot-street with a female, whose name is Harriet Bentley. We went into a parlour on the right hand side, which is also a bed-room. I remained with her there about half an hour, and came away about seven o'clock. As we were coming away I saw a large gold watch, with a gold chain to it, lying on the table. On inquiring to whom it belonged no one could inform me. The girl took it and brought it away with her. After we got out of the house I took it from her, saying, I bad better take it, because some one might inquire for it, and if they did I would return it. We went to a house in a court in Seel-street, where she was living. It was a house of ill-fame. Next night I again visited her there. Anderson came and found me there and took the watch from me. He brought a man with him, who said he was directed by the police to take me. I delivered up the watch, and he said he must take me into custody. I requested permis sion to speak with Anderson alone, and he went out with me for that purpose. I then asked him if I gave him some recompense could he let me go. I gave him two sovereigns, and he promised to see what be could do. He said he would return in a short time and let me know. He afterwards told me to meet him at a public house in Williamson-square, at the corner. I went there. He came and said that the parties to whom the watch be longed had consented to say no more about it. We had some wine, and he asked me to go to his house. We went there, and I stayed all night with Harriet. He said lie thought he could do some business with me. I had told him I was in the7Branch Bank. He said he had a £lOO Bank of England note, which, if I would take and get it changed for him, he would give me £7 10s., and he would receive the same. I took the note with me in the morning when I left. I changed it, I believe that morn ing, at the bank. I put it in a parcel of notes. and took a £lOO note instead of it. They were on the table. I was employed in the inspector's office. The bills taken in the course of business at the bank are brought into the in spector's office. I took the £lOO note which I had taken to the prisoner the next day. I gave it to him and he gave me £7 10s. I did not take the number of either of the notes. He then told me that he had seven more £lOO notes. I wondered where he had got them, and asked him. He then told me that they were part of the Preston Guild robbery. I believe he gave me the same day, or a day or two after, two more £lOO notes. They were both Man chester Branch Bank notes, as all those notes were. I took a parcel of notes which was lying on the counter at the bank, and substituted those two notes for two £lOO notes which I took out from the lot. The notes were just as they were brought in from the office. The notes are collected and brought in by the inspector, who goes round several times a day and takes them into his own office, where I was a clerk. The cashier counts them, and sees if they are right by the book, and then they are cancelled. In the usual course of business the notes which I substi tuted would be cancelled by the inspector. All notes, ex cept those of our own branch, are cancelled ; ours are re issued, and perhaps such of the Manchester branch as are not soiled. I took the notes to Anderson. I cannot re member what they were. He was at his own house. He said he thought I had better not take any more just then. I think a month elapsed before I took any more. I had then another £lOO note. I changed it on the same day before examination by the inspector, took the note thus obtained back to Anderson, and received £7 10s. I had another the same night, which 1 also changed, and re ceived £7 10s. for it. He again said I had better not take any more, but had better wait a little while, and see if any thing was said about them. I had another in about three weeks, which I changed as usual. I had previously borrowed £3 from bim, and when I returned the note this time he gave me the balance. I had no more for some time. The last two were in December last, shortly before Christmas. I changed them, and received £l5. Nothing else transpired between us for some little time. One morning he came to me, as I was leaving the bank, and asked me to call at his house in the evening. I went be tween six and seven o'clock and saw him. He said he had two £5O notes, if I could change them. He said they had been in possession some time, but whose possession I don't know. He said I might either have thirty shillings for doing them, or he would give me a cravat-pin. I changed them, and he gave me the pin, which I gave to Harriet Bentley.—[The witness here described the pin.] Nothing else occurred till this £lOOO note. He came to the bank on Friday morning week to me about half-past nine o'clock. He met me just as I was going in, and asked me if I would meet him in the evening when we left the bank. I met him when I left the bank in Copperas hill. We went to a public-house. When we sat down he said he had a good thing both for him and for me if I could do it for him. He pulled out a newspaper from his pocket. He said there was an advertisement in the paper offering £5O reward for three £lOOO notes which were lost. I saw the advertisement, but did not read it through. He said if I could change these notes he would give me £2OO, and he was to have £2OO himself. The witness spoke the last sentence very faintly, and with some appearance of emotion. He begged for a little water, and immediately afterwards became very pale, and appeared to need support. The next instant he sank in sensible into the arms of the officers who stood near him. He was carried out of court. During his absence, Mr. Blackmore deposed to being robbed in an omnibus of three bank notes of £I,OOO each, which he placed in his right hand trowsers pocket, on the 3d instant ; but Mr. Jennings having recovered, continued his statement as follows :—I asked him (Anderson) then how he came by those notes. He told me that a person brought them down to Liverpool from London, I think he said on Thursday night. He said two friends of his in London got them from a person who was riding in an omnibus. He said they saw him come from a house, but I have quite forgot whether be said a banking-house or what. They watched him, and saw him get into an omnibus, and they got in with him, and when he got out at some street they got out too. While he was in the omnibus they saw him keep his band on his pocket so. (The witness here laid his hand on his right-side trowsers pocket.) Mr. Rushton.—Did he say which pocket? Witness.—He placed his right hand on his right trow sers pocket thus. (Repeating the action.) When he got out they followed close to him, and one of them took the notes out of his pocket as he got out. One immediately set off for Liverpool, and the other watched the gentleman about where he went to. They saw him go back to the place where they first saw him, and the people that he told would not believe him, but said they thought he was trying to deceive his creditors. Anderson said, the one who started to Liverpool with the money gave him this £l,OOO note. I think he said he had returned to London again. He said he had a letter from one of them, saying that the advertisement was withdrawn, and nothing was said about it in London. By Mr. Owens.—The man who accompanied Anderson at the time he got the watch lives in Mitchell-place. H is wife's name is Levi ; I don't know his name. He said he was a constable, but he is not so. Harriet Bentley, a rather pretty and apparently timid girl, was then examined, but she only corroborated Jen nings' testimony. The case was adjourned at six o'clock. The Police Court, on Thursday, was densely crowded for some time before one o'clock, when it was expected th a t the further examination of John Anderson would be Proceeded with. It was half-past two o'clock, however, before the other business was concluded, and by that time ther e was a large number of very respectable parties in the court. On the bench were several magistrates, and behind Mr. Rushton and Mr. Chtistopher Rawdon, the sitting magistrates, the mayor was accommodated with a seat. William Fletcher was examined : He said, 1 am one of the managers of the Branch Bank of England in this town. Taylor Jennings was a clerk in that bank. He had been there about a year. When he first came he was employed in the inspector's office, where he remained lip till the 17th March. He was subsequently employed in the discount office, which is in a separate room, and re mained there till the 26th of June. He then went back to the inspector's office. It was the duty of the inspector of the bank to take up the cash out of the drawer during the day. They took the cash brought in from the teller's drawer to the inspector's office. When the teller receives cash, he doubles the notes up, states the amount of pay ment made, and then puts the name of the party from whom he received it, on the outside note. The inspector takes these away into his own room. He then sorts them in three parcels, according to the branches. The Liverpool notes are placed in one parcel, the Manchester notes in a second, an the others in a third. Jenning's duties were to receive these notes from the inspector and to copy them. For this purpose they are laid open before him.. Mr. Rushton : You heard yesterday what Jennings said, that he had changed seven £lOO notes, for seven notes received at the bank in due codrse of payment. These note( you heard, were the produce of the Preston Guild robbery. Have you a copy of the numbers of all the notes through your bank, after they have passed the inspector's hands? Witness : I have ; and here produced a list.—Mr. Rush ton : If Jenning's account be correct, these notes would be in the bank. Witness : Yes.—Mr. Rushton : Have you examined the books, and do you find the seven £lOO notes there? Witness : I have, and I find them there. Jennings enumerated seven, and I found seven.—The witness then proceeded to state that he could fix the dates when the notes were paid. Six of them were in the Bank of England, at London, cancelled, and the other went to Manchester to be reissued. The notes were all of the Manchester bank. No. 1,473 was paid into the bank here on the 25th October, 1842; No. 97,504 on the 26th December; No. 97,474 on the 6th December; No. 97,631 on the 15th Decnieber ; No. 95,151 on the 17th December; No. 313 on the 21st December; and No. 1,107 on the 21st December.—Mr. Rushton : Would you pursue any other course with £lOOO notes than the one described ? Witness : No ; but they would most likely be cancelled, and there would not be the same opportunity of changing them. There are no branch notes of this amount ; and the probability is, that this would have been cancelled at the time. The first note was found in a par cel paid by Mr. Staniforth, of the stamp-office ; the sec ond, in a parcel paid by Mr. J. S. Bond, traveller for Christel and Son, of Rotherhithe ; the third, in a parcel paid by the Customs ; the fourth, in a parcel paid by C. E. M`Paulett and Co. ; the fifth, by Mr. Rice ; and the sixth and seventh by the Customs. The depositions of the various witnesses on the two first examinations were then read over, and the parties bound over to prosecute at the next assizes. The prisoner was then remanded for a week, when the other depositions will be read over, and further evidence produced. Jen nings still remains in custody. WRECK OF THE PAGASUS STEAMER, FORTY FOUR LIVES LOST. (From Saturday's Edinburgh Post.) Thursday afternoon, at three o'clock, the Martello ar rived at Granton Pier, bringing the melancholy tidings of the total loss, on Thursday morning, of the Pegasus, Hull steamer, belonging to the same Company, at the Inner Fern Islands, on her passage from Leith to Hull. It appears that about five o'clock on Thursday morn ing, the Martello came up with a boat belonging to the Pegasus, almost filled with water, and having on board the mate of that vessel in a state of the utmost exhaustion, and unable to speak. Shortly after, they fell in with the Pegasus itself, six feet of the topmast only appearing above the water, with two persons clinging to it in a very exhausted state—one or two others in the water, support ing themselves by hatches, gangways, and other floating materials. Six persons alone had e3caped of the fifty individuals on board the unfortunate vessel. The bodies of six of the unhappy sufferers were also picked up at the same time. The mate after some time recovered so far as to be able to describe the circumstances attending the catastrophe. It was about midnight on Wednesday, Cap tain Miller standing as usual on the bridge, when the vessel, which he usually takes within the Inner Fern Island, struck upon a reef of rocks and had her bows stove in. The sudden shock experienced at a time when every one on board, from the calmness of the evening and the smoothness of the sea, felt the most perfect security, at once made them alive to the imminence of the danger. The boats were immediately lowered, and a great many persons got into them. After a few seconds, however, there being no appearance of any leak hav ing been made, these ill-fated persons returned to the vessel. From this it would seem as if the vessel had remained a short time upon the rock on which she struck, which would have the effect of preventing any influx of water, till relieved from such a position. The captain directed the steam to be let on for the purpose of putting her back, with the idea that he might be able to run her safely into shore, but this he had been un able to accomplish, as she sank after having made only from 200 to 300 yards from the point where she struck. Before she went down, a second rush to the boats had taken place, and to such an extent, that they were swamped, so that those who had thus attempted to escape were, by their own precipitation, involved in the same destruction, and almost simultaneously, with those on board the steamer. Some of the cushions and other internal cabin fittings were picked up, and when it was evident that all the survivors had been rescued, and that nothing more could be done, the Martello proceeded on her course. The passengers and crew saved consisted of a man named Baillie, a porter, belonging to Hull, and attending upon a gentleman in a weak state of mind, who was on a visit from that place to Scotland ; a person named Hill yard, also belonging to Hull ; four of the crew, viz., the engineer, the mate, and a fireman. There were sixteen cabin passengers booked, and possibly one or two more, it is thought, may have gone on board without booking; about twenty steerage passengers, and a crew of about a dozen. Some troops belonging to the 56th regiment were also on board. The six bodies brought to Leith are those of Miss Bar ton (identified from her name marked on her shoe) ; a mar ried woman, in a state of pregnancy, and who was dressed in a dark check gingham gown, Leghorn bonnet,, and dark bombazettee or moreen mantle ; an old woman ; a genteel lad, about twelve {or thirteen years of age, dressed in a rough sort of brownish surtout, or Taglioni coat, a black vest and trousers; a little boy of three or four years of age, who was found in Miss Barton's arms, clinging firmly by her person; and lastly the second engineer, or fireman, who had a severe contusion on his forehead. An unsuc cessful attempt was made to resuscitate the bodies of the old woman and the child. The following is - the list of the cabin passengers booked at Leith :—Mrs. Edington, from Edinburgh ; Miss Hope toun, Miss Barton, Miss Floors, (the little boy was along with these three) ; Miss Briggs; Mrs. M'Leod ; Mr. Torry, from Hull; Mr. Baillie, attending! on Mr. Torry (saved) ; Mr. Elton (the actor, and who appeared last week at the Edinburgh Adelphi Theatre) ; Mr. Hodgson ; Rev. Mr. M` Kenzie supposed from Glasgow ; Mr. Banks ; Mr. Elliot and son, thought from Dundee; Mr. Moxhan ; Mr. Mike, boot maker, 100, George-street, Edinburgh. In addition to those we have ascertained the names of Mr. James Hunter, son of Mr. Hunter, ironmonger. 15, Howe-street ; D. Whimpster ; Mr. Martin, of Great Russell -street, London, and son. Some time must elapse before all the names of the sufferers are known. The crew for the most part belonged to Leith. Captain Miller, one of the sufferers, was fora long time in charge of one of the Leith and London smacks, and considered a first rate coaster. The Mr. Hodgson mentioned is brother of Mr. W. B. Hodgson of the Liverpool Mechanics Institution. The following statement has been obtained from Baillie, one of the survivors :—I have been a seaman for about eighteen years, but was recently in attendance on Mr. Torry, who was one of the passengers on board of the Pe gasus when she went down. I think it was about twenty minutes past twelve when the vessel struck. I was down in the cabin, lying on a sofa, and when I found that the vessel had struck I ran on deck, and having seen the state of matters there, 1 went down to the cabin for Mr. Torry. I told the passengers below that I believed the ship had struck, but they did not seem to comprehend what I meant. Some of the passengers (chiefly the ladies) were in bed. When I reached the deck with Mr. Torry, I saw the crew in the act of lowering the boats. I put Mr. Torry in the starboard quarter boat when it was in the act of being lowered, and when it had reached the water I jumped in myself. There were then about nine of us in the boat. A lady, I remember, was sitting in the bow. When we were in the boat, there was a cry from off the quarter-deck to " stick to the ship." At that moment the engines were set in motion ; and, the boat being hooked to the ship's stern, but unhooked from it at the bow, the back water raised by the paddles filled the boat and upset her, throwing the passengers into the sea. I got hold'of the ship's rudder-chain, and, the chief mate having thrown a rope to me, I got into the ship again. Seeing the danger increasing, 1 undressed myself to pre pare for swimming for my life, and laid nay clothes upon the companion. By this time the engine had stopped, and the ship was fast settling by the head. Looking around me, while undressing, I saw the Rev. Mr. Mac kenzie on the quarter-deck praying with several of the passengers on their knees around him. Mr. Mackenzie seemed calm and collected. All the passengers around were praying too, but Mr. M`Kenzies voice was distinctly heard above them all. I heard the captain say that we must do the best we could for ourselves. 1 saw a lady, with two children, close beside me on the companion, calmly resigning herself to the Almighty. The children seemed unconscious of the danger, for they were talking about some trifling matter. When I found the vessel fast filling, I leapt overboard, and the engineer and I were at first drawn into sea by the suction occasioned by the vessel sinking. I soon got up again, however, and got hold of a plank and the steps which led to the quarter deck. The stewardess attempted to get hold of me; but I extricated myself from her, to save my own life. By this time the scene was a most dismal one. The surface of the water was covered with the dead and the dying. The screeching was fearful. One of the firemen also at tempted to get hold of the plank which I had, but I swam away from him. 1 remained floating about till half-past six, when I was picked up by a boat from the Martello. I was then about a mile from the wreck, and the people in the Martello did not for some time observe me, till I attracted their attention by waving a stick. One little boy (probably the boy Scott) kept himself afloat for about three hours on a part of the s ky-li g ht cover i ng, an d ma d e great exertions to save himself, but, he sunk at last. His bady was warm when picked up. I was once wrecked before, about twenty years ago, off the coast of St. Do mingo, when I was three days and three nights on a reef. It Was the experience I learnt then which gave me the idea of taking off my clothes before leaping into the sea. THE M`NEILE AND CAMPBELL COR RESPONDEN CE. We have never taken any part hitherto in the con troversy which has been kept up, upon the subject of the difference which had arisen betw een our _ _ junior Rector and the Rev. Hugh Nl`Neile ; nor do we purpose going at any length into the subject now. The correspondence—the whole correspondence—the publication of which was to throw the entire camp of dissenting " Liberalism " into extacies of delight, is now before our fellow-townsmen. It has pro duced none of the results so confidently predicted. It has neither exhibited the Rector "inflicting the lash" upon the incumbent of Saint Jude's, nor that reverend gentleman " humiliating himself" at the feet of the - Rector. On both sides, the letters pub lished are such as high-minded and high-principled men, having a difference upon such a subject as the one under discussion, might write and receive, with out the infliction of a stain upon either; and for the sake of both parties—for the sake of the Church itself—since the fact of such letters having passed between the respected parties had afforded a topic of such loud cock-crowings and glee to the whole dissenting tribe,—and, we regret to add, to some churchmen even,—we rejoice at their publication. The grinning cachination upon the face of the vili fiers of the establishment, and the slanderers of its clergy, has cooled down into a yawn of disappoint ment ; whilst churchmen are reconciled to see that nothing has occurred which can damage, in the estimation of the friends of either of the writers, their admitted high character, or impair their use fulness to the Church to which they belong. We have, of course, our own private opinions upon the subject at issue between the two reverend gentlemen, and they are most likely tolerably well known; but we are not so uncharitable as to refuse to other men the right to entertain widely opposite opinions, and we shall not by any remarks of ours risk a renewal of controversy upon the subject. Too much—far too much—has been made of it already; and we are more anxious for peace in the Church than for strife. The whole world knew the opinions of Mr. M'Neile upon the matters referred to in the speech which originated the correspondence. The opinions of Rector Campbell were equally well known. The correspondence has added not one tittle to the amount of the world's information upon the subject; and, in our own humble opinion, need never have taken place. We shall not trouble our readers with the letters verbatim ; but proceed to give their substance as briefly as we can, with a few observations in expla nation. The first letter from Mr. Nl 4 l•Teile, dated May 4th, 1843, informed the Rector that it had come to his knowledge that some passage, or pas sages, in his speech at the Amphitheatre had given offence to some of the friends of that gentleman; and assured him that "if such was the case, it had occurred altogether unconsciously, and he sincerely regretted it." The reply of Mr. Campbell was, that he himself "could not specify the particular expres sions which had given offence to his friends," one of whom, however, Mr. Aspinall, had been so offended that he refused to second the motion of Mr. M'Neile. In a subsequent communication, marked "pri vate," made after be had read the entire speech, and enclosing another letter, the Rector inti- mated that he was "so deeply compromised by the ferment" created by Mr. M`Neile's cont inents, in his speech, upon the character of a portion of the clergy of our church in past times, that " he feared he must take some public notice of them. (It was the ferment, be it remarked, which drove him to the course which he pursued.) In this letter it was stated, "if you can send a pacific answer, expressing your anxiety to stand well in the affections of your brother clergymen, and your re gret at having given offence," (which had already been voluntarily expressed,) " and allow me to pub lish it with my letter, all will be well ; if not, our beneficial union will be at an end, and the conse quences most disastrous." The letter enclosed and bearing date the same day was, we must say, distinguished by a very different spirit to the one marked " private.' It was a letter, in fact, which was certainly as little calculated to bring about the object for which it was professedly written as could be conceived ; and could be replied to, by an independent clergyman and Christian gen tleman, in no terms more appropriate than in those contained in Mr. M`Neile's letter of the Bth. The reverend gentleman reiterated his assurance that the allusion, at which offence had been taken, had not been either previously meditated or levelled at any particular individuals. On another subject—the subject of Tractarianism mentioned by Mr. Camp bell—Mr. M`Neile's remarks were quite as " pacific ' as was called for, without being of that " humilia ting" character ich we fear was demanded. To this the reply of the Rector was an announce ment of his intention to circulate the correspondence amongst the clergy, and to " decline any further co operation with Mr. M`Neile at public meetings." The former determination—as to printing the cor respondence —was, however, upon the remonstrance of Mr. M'Neile, given up; and here, on the 17th of May, the affair rested, and was presumed to be at an end. And here it might have ended, and ought to have ended ; but " Rumour with her hundred tongues" soon bruited it about that some correspondence had taken place between the parties ; and busy and spite ful people next asserted that the Rev. Incumbent of St. Jude's had been "snubbed," a n d h a d humiliated himself at the feet of his brother clergyman. ^At length such rumour took the more substantial form of a paragraph in the Albion, in which it is stated that "such a correspondence did take place; that it had been shewn in MS. to several gentlemen " as the Albion "had reason to know ; " and asserted further that " Mr. M`Neile made an ample apology for the strong language he had used in describing the clergy of the old school." Upon the appearance of this paragraph, copied into the Courier, (the only Liver pool paper into which 111 r. Campbell looks) an ex planation, with respect to the publicity which the correspondence had attained, was immediately for warded by that gentleman to Mr. M`Neile; which, with his reply, requesting, as partial publicity had now been given to it, that the whole correspondence would be published, was addressed by the latter to the Courier, and by that paper published on. Wednesday last. Another letter, however, it ap pears, had subsequently been addressed by the Rector to Mr. M`Neile, which has since been added to the correspondence. With respect to this letter, a charge of unfairness has been raised against Mr. M`Neile, owing to its non appearance in the Courier, it having been dated July 5, whilst Mr. M`Neile's letter to the editor of the Courier, directing the publication of the first and his own reply, was dated from Ballycastle, Ireland, on the 14th. It is urged that this letter must have been at the time in Mr. M‘Neile's possession ; but, from circumstances with in our own knowledge, with respect to the reverend gentleman's varied engagements during the inter vening period, we feel assured it will be shewn that it had not then reached its destination. A FATAL SLIP.—On Friday last, as Mary Towey, aged sixteen, was going on board the smack Glenfeha, her foot slipped, and she fell into the dock. She was taken out insensible and carried to the Station-house, when she was found to be dead. BAILIFFS AT FAULT.—John Grey, John Maclean, and Joseph Robert Miller were, on Friday, charged before Mr. Rushton with an assault upon Duckett and Phillips two bailiffs. About two o'clock on Thursday morning the two complainants got over a wall into Mr. Miller's yard, in Islington. Opening a window, they awoke the person who had care of the premises during Mr. Miller's absence. He opened the door to call the police, on which they entered the house with a distress warrant for rent. In the course of the day Mr. Miller, who was from home at the time, returned, and, finding what had occurred, went to the house with several friends and forcibly ejected the bailiffs. The magistrate dismissed the case, observ ing, that it was quite clear the parties had no right to enter the house in the night time. MERITORIOUS CONDUCT.—The City of Dublin Corn pany's steamer Leeds, Captain Richard Williams in passing through the H orse Ch anne l , yesterday morning, inward bound, about four o'clok, discovered the smack Johns, (of Liverpool,) from Queensferry, laden with tiles, burthen 12 tons, which had struck on the Horse Bank a few hours previously, filled, and parted with her bottom.
