The thieves, who were pro bably concealed at the moment when the gates were closed, carried off one of the lions of the menagerie. The police only became aware of the fact the next morning, and en tertained hopes of discovering the thieves, whose course has been tracked as far as the Quai by stains of blood on the ground. A handkerchief covered with blood has also been discovered near the animal's lair; it bears the initials " C. V." A NOBLE EXAMPLE. —TiIe West Indian papers speak in terms of great praise of the conduct of the Rev. Mr. Garrett of the Eitablished Church, and of the Baptist Pastor, Hands. Both gentlemen are of Montego Bay, where the cholera made so many victims that the people were too terrified to bury them. A noble example was set to the faint-hearted by the Christian ministers above named. They both descended from their pulpits where they had first exhorted their flocks ; and, each shoulder ing the implements necessary, went f,,rth and worked indefatigably at the digging of graves for the dead. Their example won imitation, and by it the desired object was soon accomplished. THE AFRICAN LION TRADE.—From a case recently submitted to the Court of Appeal, in Algiers. it appears that there are persons who make a regular business of catching and dealing in lions. One of these, a M.Ottavi, of Constantine, was, a few days ago, condemned to pay M. Herbert, the keeper of a travelling menagerie, in Normandy, 1000 f. for having put him to the expense of visiting Constantine on the promise to sell him two fine lions, though on his arrival it turned out that he had sold the animals to another person, and had not been able to replace them. In the course of the proceedings it was stated that lions are becoming very scarce in Algeria, the approach of man having driven them to seek refuge nearer the desert.— Galignani's Messenger. DEATH OF AN INDIAN CHIEF. -- Da-O-Da-110-ga-Web, a Chief of the Senecas, died at Tonawanda, in this State, on Friday of last week. This chief was generally known among the whites by the name of John Blacksmith. He was a most determined and fearless defender of the rights of his brethren against the encroachments of the " pale faces,". and his name may be found to several important treaties at Washington. He was always a zealous oppo nent of the land speculators, and frequently came in con tact with them in courts of justice, and we believe on one or two occasions actually forced some of them to leave the Indian territory. He was strictly temperate in his habits, and was regarded by the Six Nations as their greatest chief since the death of Red Jacket. According to the customs of the red men, a runner was despatched to the Six Nations, consisting of the Oneidas, Ononda gas, Tuscaroras, Mohawks. Cayugas, and Senecas, with intelligence of the death of their great chief. The runner to the Onondaga nation passed through this city on Monday last, and on approaching the Council-house of the Onondagas raised the cry of lament, which was under stood by the tribe, who happened to be assembled in the Council-house at the time. A messenger was despatched to meet the runner, who was etill some distance from the. Council-house. On me e ti ng the runner, the Onondaga (who understood, from the peculiar cry, , that he was the hearer of had news) addressed a few words to him in the Indian dialect, of which the following is said to be a cor rect translation :—" Let it come f ort h, t h at our m i n d s may also drop down." The sad news was then commu nicated to the Onond go, and the two proceeded to the Council-house, where a large number of the nation were assembled, and all the particulars of the sad intelligence were communicated to them by the runner. A string of black beads (the token of the death of a great chief), which is always carri. d by the bearer of the mournful news, was then passed from hand to hand round the council, and other tokens of mourning were exhibited. The occasion was of great interest, as the chief whose death they were called on to lament was universally be loved and esteemed by the Six Nations over whom he exercised authority. We learn that his place will he filled next fall, when the Onondagas are entitled to offi ciate at the ceremony of crowning the new chief. We learn, also, that on Monday next a chief of the Ononda gas will he crowned at their Council-house. in the place of one who ..ied in March last.—Onondaga Standard. - - • IRELAND.

DECREASE OF POPULATION IN IRELAND.—•It is said that the census, nearly completed, shows a diminution of two nil'Hong of inhabitants in Ireland since 1841. •The population of Li.r crick is ascertained to he about 44,100, of whom only 16,000 are males, arid 20,01)0 are females.

Downhill Castle, the residence of Sir Hervey Bruce, gnificent edifice in the north of Ireland. was - - destroyed by fire on Saturday week. The whole of the splendid pile is only a mass of ruins. A chimney sweep, whilst removing some furniture, lost his life-by the falling in of the burning matter. The splendid library is totally destroyed. The origin of the fire is not known. —On Saturday week a BARBAROUS wretch named Masterton, from Molranney, was com mitted to Mayo prison for the h.rbarous act of cutting off the head of a corpse but a few days previously interred. The object of the fellow in severing the head was for the purpose of " clearing" himself of some imputed crime by skull,—a superstition common in that part of the country The Recorder of Galway, Mr. O'Hara, was entertained to dinner on Thursday week, by the session and grand jury, when a fracas arose at the toast of the health of the new members, Mr. O'Flaherty and Mr. Blake; one party contending that the latter should be cut out, as he did not attend his duties in Parliament. Boxes of snuf f were thrown in the faces of the company, hostile messages sent across the table for the morning, and blows exchanged by the guests ! THE . MILLERS.—Mr. Hughes of Clonmel, a quaker, and no doubt noisy free-trader, writes : " I have been engaged in procuring information in this neighbourhood, and of eighteen 1...;-. mills, containing 151 pairs of stones in this district, employing close upon 700 hands when at full work, none have on the average been more than one third worked for the past eight months, and are now employing short of 300 hands—all owing to the one cause, foreign competition. THE GRAND ORANGE LODGE OF IRELAND. — Tho half-yearly meeting of this body was held at Newry on Tuesday, at the residence of the Rev. C. Waring. The Earl of Enniskillen and Sir William Verner, M.P., being unavoidably detained in Loldon, the chair was occupied by the senior county master, William Beers, Esq., of Brook Cottage, Castlewellan. The proceedings were of a highly-interesting and important character. Among the resolutions adopted was one strongly condemnatory of the unconstitutional conduct of the Home Secretary of State, in refusing to submit to her Majesty the address from this loyal body. DREADFUL SHIPWRECK AND LOSS OF LIFE.—At five o'clock this morning, during a sudden and violent hurricane from the N.W., the Swansea brig, Jolly Tar, laden with coals and pollard, for the Castletown work house, was driven from her moorings ; and, before effective aid could be rendered, went to pieces on the Pamper Rock. The master, Captain J. Lambrish, and part of the crew, perished. The mate*, William Kilmen, was rescued, apparently lifeless, and no hopes are enter tained of his recovery. The appalling effect of the scene was heightened consid era bl y b y t h e appeara nce of s ome hundreds of coffins, of various sizes, which were intended for the workhouse, broken to atoms on the rocks by the fury of the enraged element. The vessel was not insured. —Cork Reporter. THE MARQUIS OF LANSDOWNE'S IRISH TENANTRY. —lt would almost seem that the deplorably destitute circumstances under which these unfortunate people left this country and arrived in America will never pass out of public attention. We now learn that. on the arrival of a large number of them, a few weeks since, in one of the Liverpool packets, the commissioners of emigration re fused to pas them, in conformity with a just and neces sary regulation by which emigrants must at least show t:iat they will not become immediate paupers in the land of their adoption. After a lengthened negotiation, the commissioners consented to compromise the matter by accepting twenty-five dollars a-head from the emigration agents by whom they were shipped from Liverpool, as a sort of provision for their maintenance in the event of such a result as the commissioners anticipated.—Cork Examiner. MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR--THE BURNING OF DOWNHILL HOUSE.—On Sunday morning, the 11th instant, a man, dressed quite in the style of a gentleman, was found sus pended by a strong cord from the branch of a tree in the domain of Charles O'Hara, Esq., of O'Harabrook. A gold watch and N. in silver, was found on his person ; life was extinct. An inquest was held on the body, but no facts elicited beyond that he was found banged —no papers to lead to his indentification or whereabouts. lie had called at a farm house near Ballymooney, on Satur day, at three o'clock p.m., told them that he was a Scotchman, and that be had to announce the alarming intellizence that " Downhill was in flames." This per son, whoever he was, could announce the awful fact four teen miles from Downhill, in one hour after it was known in Coleraine, although the servant who gave the alarm in Coi raine could not accomplish the distance thither on horseback in less than fifteen minutes.—Londonderry AN IRISH VOYAGER TO TILE EXIIIEITION.—A perfect mania, mitigated, it is true, in some cases, but generally pretty violent, pervades a large section of the community with regard to the world's great fair, now being celebrated in Hyde Park. A curious adventure has come to our knowledge, illustrative of the influence of this feeling. The Star schooner, from Havre to Belfast, arrived at our quays on Sunday morning, having picked up a gentleman in mid- c h anne l, i n cons id e rable danger, a stiff breeze blowing at the time, and a heavy swell rolling, seriously perilling the safety of a diminutive yacht, 15 feet only in the keel, in which he was attempting the passage to Lon don. Some days previously he had left Wexford, but had scarcely emerged from the shadow of Hook Tower when a stiff breeze and a heavy sea made it necessary to exercise all his efforts to prevent the little skiff from turn ing over in the trough of the waves. Wearied and ex hausted, with continued toil at the helm, he hoisted a flag half-mast high, paid out some thirty or forty fathoms of his cable, from the stern, to keep the little skiff's head to the waves, and, half resigning himself to his fate, gave way to weariness and the desire for sleep by which he was quest. at Charleston on ti the Southern States' Cons tcs, and the proceedi g 3 indicated that the people of South Carolina were bent on seceding from the Union.

THE POPE EASILY FRIGHTENED The corresponder of the Daily New., writing from Rome, April 30:h, says His holiness had a terible fright yesterday, during his afternoon drive outside the Porta Pia. About quarter past five the ponderous apostolic equipage the gate, and had no sooner gone twenty 1 individual of gentlemanly appearance, dressed in a I some suit of black, rushed forward from the side of the footpath, and presenting himself directly in front of the Pope, knelt before him, and held out a petition in an im ploring attitude. ills holiness was seized with alarm at the sudden apparition of his petitioner, and, with his ma- rs, than jordomo and other attendant prelates about him, took to his heels in a manner most unsuitable to papal dignity, the whole party running as fast as their long garments would permit, and leaving the astonished suppliant, pro bably some government empkye unjuvly deprived of the means of subsistence, kneeling in the dust, with the re jected petition still in his outstretched hand. His asto nishment, however, soon gave way to a different senti ment, for the Pope's escort, consisting cf the usual de tachment of noble guards, rushed furiously at him, knocked him down, and abused him for having ven tured to intrude Lis private woes upon the leisure and recreation of his paternal Sovereign. What had the poor man to do ? He did all that remained to do — he got up and rubbed his knees, picked up his hat, and pocketed h's petition, returning home to his expectant family to bless, no doubt, the clemency of the pontiff. Meanwhile his holiness related the whole occurrence to Cardinal Simonatti, whose carriage hove in sight soon after, and who reverently alighted from it as soon as he raw the Pope on foot.

LAW INT.ELLIGENCE. Mr. Duncan M'Neill is to be the new in the room of Lord Mackenzie. Scotch judge, In the Bail Court, on Tuesday, Sir F. Thesiger, on be half of the proprietors of the Morning Herald and Morn. ing Advertiser, expressed their regret that the libels complained of against the convent of Notre Dame at Clapham had ever appeared in their papers, as they were totally unfounded. Having made this public apology, the plaintiffs consented to the rules obtain formations beingAlischarged with costs ARREST OF ABSCONDING DEBTOII—On Tuesday a bill was printed by order of the House of Lords, brought forward by the Earl of Harrowby, to facilitate the more speedy arrest of absconding debtors. It is proposed to give authority to the Commissioners of Bankruptcy and Judges of County Courts to issue warrants for the arrest of absconding debtors. The writs of capias from the su perior courts are to issue thereupon. The warrant is to be auxiliary to such writ of capita, and persons so arrested may apply to a judge of one of the superior courts to be discharged. On the payment of the debt and costs the party arrested to be discharged. In case it should appear to the satisfaction of a jury in any action brought for false imprisonment under a warrant authorised to be issued that such imprisonment was malicious, or that there was no probable cause of action, then the warrant and the writ of capias issued thereon shall in either of such cases be.no ground of justification to the person at whose suit the same shall have been issued. EVIDENCE OF A LuNanc. 2 -The Exchequer Chamber has given judgment in the case of the Queen a. Hill, the attendant in one of the Metropolitan Lunatic Asylums, who was not long since convicted of causing the death of one of the pauper inmates by violent treatment. The con viction had depended on the evidence of a pauper lunatic, subject to insane delusions as to spirits ; who affirmed even at the trial that the spirits were then trying to make him think that the violence he witnessed had happened on another day than the correct one; but who in other re spects was highly intelligent and moral, and gave to the judge an excellent explanation of the moral obligation of an oath. It had been objected at the trial, that a person " non compos mentis" is never admissible as a witness ; but Justice Coleridge had admitted the evidence, and re served the point for grave argument before the Exchequer Chamber. The Court now held that Mr. Justice Coleridge was right : the rule is, that the admissibility of the evi dence rests with the judge, and then the effect and weight of the evidence rests with the jury. CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE, The sum of £324155. 10d. has this week been collected at the annual services at Hull, on behalf of the Church Missionary Society. Though the sum is very large, it is £7O. 6s. 7d. less than was collected last year. The Rev. Philip Blends, Perpetual Curate of St. Martin at Oak, Norwich, has been preaching at the Unitarian Chapel, in that city, and has published his sermon, with a preface, vindicating his conduct. No steps have yet been taken ag inst him by the Bishop of Norwich. SEQUESTERED DINEFICES.—A bill has been brought into parliament to amend the law relating to the seques tration of benefices for debt. If a benefice is sequestrated under the existing law, the bishop of the diocese has not power to set apart more than £2OO a year for the payment of curates to discharge the ministerial duties. From a return which was made to parliament last year it appears that several cases of sequestration have taken place since the passing of the last act of parliament, and some of these livings are of considerable value with several churches. The bill provides that in all cases where a be nefice which exceeds £4OO a year in value shall hereafter be put under sequestration for the debts of any incumbent, the bishop of the diocese may, if he thinks proper, deduct one half the income for the payment of a curate or curates to discharge the spiritual duties connectedwith the parish. Co viten PASTORAL. AID SOCIETY.—The annual meet ing of this society was held on Tuesday in Exeter-hall, Lord Ashley in the chair. The chairman said, that of all the annual meetings held in that hall he regarded this as the most important, as it directly affected the interests of the Established Church and the religious welfare of our home population. It was founded to support the paro chial system —a system now so indifferently carried out. and yet the only one which could he devised to reach di rectly the overgrown population of the metropolitan pa rishes. Without a house-going minister they could not have a church-going population ; and yet how was it pos sible for one man evtli to give a semblance to the paro chial visiting system in a parish of 40,000 or 50,000 inha bitants ? It was to render assistance to men who were now struggling to perform this herculean labour that this society was founded, and he trusted that, knowing its purposes, they would unhesitatingly support it. The re port stated that the proceedings of the society during the past year yielded to none in former years in point of ex tent, interest, and success. There were now 37 more grants than there were at this period last year, making the total number 407—the largest number ever on the list of the society. The grants of the society were thus distri buted :-270 additional curates for populous parishes, two chaplains for boatmen and mariners, 27 incumbents or ministers, whose incomes were furnished in whola or part by the society ; 106 lay assistants for parishes, and two lay assistants for railway labourers or mariners ; giving a total of 299 clergymen and 108 lay assistants. The aid of the society was now extended to 332 incumbents, in charge of an aggregate population giving 7,264 souls to each. The average income of these incumbents was only £2Ol yearly, and 178 were without parsonage-houses. Through the operations of this society 562 additional Sun day services were established, as also 254 week-day ser vices, 340 school-room and cottage lectures, and 256 Bible classes. The grants of the society had led to the erection, opening, or keeping open of 149 churches or chapels, and in districts now receiving the society's aid 164 rooms were licensed for divine service. The receipts during the year amounted to £31,595 7s. 4d., exceeding the income of the previous year by £735 2s. sd. ; this increase arose from the returns made by associations. The expenditure for the year amounted to £30,000 9s. 10d., exceeding that of the previous year by £1,051 13s. 10d. The committee concluded their report by urging upon their friends a continuance of their assistance. COURT AND FASHION, THE QUEEN'S DRAWING-ROOM, The Queen held a Drawing-room on Thursday, in St. James's Palace.

The Bishop of Chester and Mrs. Graham were among the company at Iler :Majesty's Concert, in Buckingham Palace, on Monday evening last. The Duke of Wellington gave a grand ball, on Friday evening, to 1,000 guests, at Apsley-house. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Saxe Cobourg, Prince Lieningen, and the Duke of Wurtem burg and suite, arrived at Dover from Calais on Friday. Prince Frederick 'William of Prussia, attended by Col. Fischer and Lieutenant Von Heinz, left town on Thurs day, to inspect the Britannia Tubular Bridge. THE QUEEN'S AUTUMNAL EXCURSION.—The Duchess of Sutherland is having a suite of apartments decorated in the most costly manner for the express use of the Queen cod her illustrious consort. The state bedroom is to con tain a selection of furniture of the most novel and costly description f rom th e C rys t a l P a l ace . The Royal Family, it is well known, would have visited the Highland retreat of their Gr aces last year had the improvements at Dunn)... bin been completed. It is thought the cost of improve, ments, decorafinns, &r., at this princely seat will. smount to upwards of 4100,009. THE PAPAL AGGRESSION. ANOTHER PAPAL BISHOP.—A bull has been received from the Pope for the consecration of Dr. Vaughan as Romish Bishop of Killaloe. On Wednesday morning, the consecration of the new Catholic church Just erected in Park-road, Clapham, took place in the presence of Cardinal Wiseman and a large assemblage of the Catholic clergy. PROTESTANT ASSITTATION.—The annual meeting of this society was held on Wednesday, at Exeter-hall, the Earl of Winchilsea presiding. The chairman, in a strong speech, reviewed the circumstances attending the recent Papal aggression. They could have no peace with Rome, who, if she was what she had always been, and must be still, ought to be kept in check and allowed no opening through which she might thrust her dectrineg into this country. The passing of the Roman Catholic Relief Bill by a government which was under the control of the See of Rome had been followed by a system of religious, and even temporal, aggression • and in the p resen t condition of Ireland might be seen die consequences of the feeble policy which gave to such a power any opportunity of in fluencing the affairs or the people of this nation. (Hear, hear.) He hoped in the course of time to see a truly Pro testant Parliament. As soon as the people of this nation should have been awakened to a sense of the danger of permitting the Romish system to act in the midst of them, and as soon as that consciousness had obtained, they would find that the legislature would no longer tamper with that which was fraught with danger to the civil and religious liberty of the country. The annual report stated that the receipts for the year had shown an improvement in the condition of the society, the assets nearly equalling the liabilities. The amcunt received was altogether £ll3l 95., and the expenditure was £999 Os. Bd., leaving a balance to the society. The receipts from the sale of publications amounted to £233 9s. 5d., and the demand was increasing. A considerable number of meetings and lectures had been attended during the year, and a large number of persons had joined the association. The meeting was addressed in very eloquent terms by Colonel Abdy, J, P. Plumptre. M.P., Rev. Prebendary Townsend, Rev. T. Nolan, Rev. Hugh Stowell. &c. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, GREAT MATCH AT YORK TUESDAY Lord Eglintoun's Flying Dutchman, Sst 81b.. C.Marlow 1 Lord Zetland's Voltigeur, Sst.. E. Flatman 2 Even betting. Voltigeur, taking a lead of three clear lengths, made the running at a good pace for such heavy ground, the Dutchman never attempting to go up until round the last turn; he then drew up, was within a length at the gravel road, had his head first half way up the distance. and finally won, amidst the most enthusiastic cheers, by a neck. Run in 3 win. 55 sec. The Earl of Eglintoun declared on Wednesday that the Flying Dutchman would not start again. Nancy, the winner of the Chester Cup, is said to have been sold to Mr. Margetson. a publican of Hull, for £1,200. She reaming with Job Marson. CRICKET.— At Sheffield, last week, fourteen of York shire beat eleven of All England, in one innings. The latter scored only 130 io two innings, whilst Yorkshire scored 183 in one. RAILWAY AFFAIRS. The receipts of the Great Northern line for special York passenger traffic on Monnay and Tuesday—the York races —amounted to about £l,OOO. The aggregate railway receipts for sixteen weeks of the present year amount to £3,705,154 ; fur corresponding period of 1850, £3,338,588, showing an increase of £367,165. The struggle between the London and North-Western and the Great Western Railway Companies, for the pos session of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham line, has for the present- ended in a victory for the Great Western Company. On Tuesday a poll amongst the shareholders of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham line, as to the ad vances of which of the two companies should be accepted, ended in a considerable majority of votes in favour of the Great Western. THE " SHOOTING STAR." Baltimore has long been held in notoriety as a port for clipper craft, and hence the world are apt to associate with every vessal hailing from thatcity high sailing qualifications During the past week, one of th,ir model ships, a small schooner, after a tolerably smart transatlantic trip,arrived here, and, while nestled in the corner of one of our docks, has been attracting the attention of hundreds. It cannot be her dimensions that have gained public attention. It is a contradiction in terms to use the words length and breadth, she is "so short and so narrow ;" and her capa city is such that. if she is not built solely for a pleasure craft, would give ground to the suspicion that her carrying capacities will never yield startling profits to her owners. The Shooting Star was placed on Prince's Dock gridiron on Thursday, where she was visited by many admiring connoisseurs, and a few who declared they " did not know what to make of her." She is a pilot-boat built schooner of about 74 feet keel her beam is moderate; her floorings are broad, and she is clipped in fore and aft fine as a knife. But while she is evidently intended for surface sailing, she has an enormous keel to aid her in shooting wind ward. She has a depth of hold of 9 feet only, but she is made up with a deep bulwark, and over that a monkey rail, so that, viewed exteriorly, she loomslike aship. What ever may be her properties, it is evident that rapidity of sailing has alone been the object of her construction. For her capacity she is enormously masted, her fore-and-aft sails having an unusal hoist. The captain (and we believe owner) cracks largely of his craft. Head to wind, close hauled, or one point free, he estimates taking the breeze out of everything afloat. The Shooting Star proceeds hence to the Brazils ; and, if not sold, will leave there for California. For those who take a pride in nautical matters she forms an object of unusual attraction. Bustrtrt .----.10.--- During the last twelve months upwards of six hundred dvvelling.houses have been erected in Preston. The common at Runcorn, which has long been lying waste, is about to be enclosed and converted into a public park. . The receipts of the Church Missionary Society at Preston this year were £419, a small increase over the preceding year. Another inquest was held at Newton on Wednesday on the body of Mr. Wilson, killed by the recent catastrophe at Frodsham, and, after the examination of two or three witnesses, a verdict of accidental death was returned. The coroner's inquest at Mottram, Cheshire, on the two children supposed to have died from poison, has ter minated in a verdict of " Wilful murder' against the fa ther, Jonathan Barcroft. Mr. Horatio Nelson Tivy has been unanimously elected governor of Chester City Gaol, in the room of the late Mr. Thomas Haswell. Mr. Tivy has been for several years the inspector of the Chester police. On Sunday week, Lady Hogliton, of Astley Hall, at tained her 89th year. The bells of the parish church, Chorley, rang several peals to commemorate the event. Her ladyship is in excellent health and spirits. The body of a labouring man, named Green, has been found in a pit near Leigh, Warrington, sadly hacked and mutilated. There is no doubt that the poor man has been murdered, and he had only a few shillings in his pocket when he was killed. A fellow was apprehended by the Manchester police at Knot Mill fair, while plying his avocation as a pickpocket. He tried the pockets of two detectives in plain clothes, and actually succeeded in stealing a card-case and its con tents from the pockets of a third, an officer from Dublin. Mrs. Porter, of Ardwick, dreamed that she found her son, aged four years, drowned in a pond opposite to her house. On the Saturday following he was missed, upon which the mother went directly to the pond, and there found him dead, lying on his back, near the edge of the pond. A carter, named Hunt, has been found dead on the Ash ton road, near Manchester. It was at first supposed that he had died from apoplexy, but subsequent inquiry has raised suspicion that he died from injuries received from another carter, with whom the deceased had been heard quarrelling. A verdict of manslaughter hue boon returned against the man. The subject of the reward to he paid for the apprehen sion of Patrick Lyons, the murderer, has engaged a con siderable share of the attention of ie Warrington watch committee, three parties having come forward to claim it. The committee have passed a resolution, that the reward is justly owing to some person, as yet unknown, who gave information to the Warrington police of Lyons having enlisted at Dublin. ARTESIAN WELLS AT CROSTON.—Several farmers at Croston, near Chorley, have lately bored for water, and they find it in abundance at the depth of about sixty-three feet. About nine feet below the upper surface is clay or marl ; and, after the boring is complete, an iron tube of about three or four feet in diameter is inserted as far as the clay, when the water rises through the tube, and gives the copious supply of ninety gallons per hour of pure spring water. The tubing is of little cost, and the whole work does not take more than two days. — Preston Chronicle. THE PARISH OF MANCHESTER.—The retiring church wardens have felt it their duty to record their entire approval of the protest of their predecessors against the retention, by the Rev. R. Parkinson, of the presidency and incumbency of St. Bee's, with the emoluments arising from his preferment as one of the canons of Manchester; and their deep regret, that the loud and general expression of pnblic opinion, on the part of the clergy and laity, in favour of the sentiments enunciated in that protest, have had no effect upon the apparent determination of the rev. gentleman to retain both these preferments. The church wardens cannot but regard with still deeper regret the announcement that the example of the Rev. R. Parkinson, although thus condemned, is about to be followed by two Clifton to has aliv loving he l of the remaining three clergymen havin g canonr i es i n th e cathedral of this parish. The R ev .

As regards the extraordinary charge of palpable and unCl a itt lified falsehood which th e wr i ter t hi nks i t becoming to 1 11 re . I have only to say, that the gentleman who waited at til quest on Dr. Cahill did b r i ng me a reply to the effect s tated t my letter, with an a p o l og y f rom t h e doctor for not sen din r : written answer ; an d I am very unwilling to believe that Cahill did not commit himself to writing for the convenr,: w r of making this deni a l. l amat a loss, also, to understatiglq; he could affirm that he did not receives second letter from di, as I paid for a copy o f th e paper containing the letter, an d he rected it to be sent to him; which, moreover, it Ws. to be must have receiv e d, as hi s l etter to the Courier purport- .bit an answer to it.* Wh ere d oes my " publication " convey • a the doctor received a second letter" from me, unleaS being itself that ver y l etter wh i ch he denies having recel . .,, V so f. while he pens hi s o b servat i ons on it?
