The whole work will be com pleted and opened to the public in August. RAILWAY CHASE EXTRAORDINARY.—OH Thursday last, a person named George Conley (having with him his wife and six children) took places for himself and family by the eleven o'clock railway train from Gloucester to Birmingham. Soon after the train had started, Mr. W. Gillman, of North Nibley, arrived at the station-house, in the hope of inter cepting Mr. Comley, who, he stated, had executed a forgery upon him to the amount of £40., and had also committed other fraudulent delinquencies, and was then en route for Liverpool, where it was understood he had engaged a passage for America. After a short consultation with Mr. Walker, police superintendent, on the best steps to be adopted, a pur suit was resolved upon, and for a payment of £lO. an engine was immediately got ready, with which Mr. Gillman and Mr. Walker started, at high pressure speed, in the hope of over taking the train, which by that time had had the advantage of about twenty minutes' start. After a fine chase, they suc ceeded in getting sight of the train at Ashchurcb, and fol lowed close in its wake to the Spetchley station, where, much to the surprise and consternation of the fugitive, his pursuers came up with him, and sadly deranged the plans he had so cleverly laid for his escape. The remainder of his journey to Birmingham was performed in the Company of Mr. Gillman, who on arriving in that town, gave him into the custody of the police on the charge of forgery. On Mr. Walker's return to the Gloucester station, he found that the prisoner's land lord had a little too late sent a distress, in the hope of laying an embargo on his runaway tenant's luggage. It would ap pear that he had been carrying on the business of a clothier at North Nibley, till he suddenly decamped as above stated. Yesterday afternoon he was brought to this city in the cus tody of Mr. Stephens, superintendent of the Birmingham police force, and conveyed before the magistrates of the dis trict where the offences are alleged to have been committed. His wife accompanies him back to Nibley, but his large and nnfortunate family are left behind at Birmingham. ECCLESIASTICAL AND_ UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE (From Me Oxford Herald.) PROMOTIONS. Rev.

SUGAR DUTIES (From the Times of Friday, May 7:) . - The course which ministers propose this evening to pursue in favour of slave grown sugar is certainly without a parallel evert in the annals of whig infatuation and perfidy. To ex tirpate the practical evils of slavery, the people of this coun try consented, at the instigation of the whigs, to make the enormous sacrifice of twenty millions sterling? and, at length, when our national finances have become considerably embarrassed in consequence of that arrangement, we are gravely told by those same whigs, that in order to make up the deficit, it is now necessary to ecourage the importation of slave-grown sugar at a suitable duty, and thus to draw from the slave produce of foreign colonies the fiscal resources that may pay for its suppression in our own ! If this be not a more flagitious instance of the thimble-rig than any they have yet practised, we must protest that we are wholly igno rant of that elegant and dexterous art. Whether its low chicanery, or its grievous injustice, or its loathsome inconsis tency be the more revolting and reprehensible, it may be dif ficult to say. Of this at least there can be no doubt, that three important parties are deliberately insulted and defraud ed by the proposal—namely, the West India proprietors, the British philanthropists, and the negro race. A few years ago, when, naturally apprehensive of the de preciation and distress which property often sustains from an experimental interference with the economy of labour, the owners of West India estates came forward with great doubts to assent to the premature termination of negro apprentice ship, they did so on a bond fide understanding that every effort which paternal government could make might be con fidently relied on, not only to protect their interest from further injury, but to give them a gaatifying proof of the much-vaunted theory that free labour is really the most pro fitable to the proprietor. Since that period, contrary to the flattering hopes which were held ont by the whigs and eman cipationists, the value of West India property has been stea dily and ruinously declining. The proceeds of many estates in Jamaica, Antigua, Demerara, and Barbadoes, have hardly paid the expense of cultivation. All that remained to sus tain the disheartened proprietors was the hope of a brighter future; and now, after having generously anticipated the wishes of their country by spontaneously terminating the apprenticeship system, they are to be rewarded only four years afterwards by seeing their free-grown sugars put out of the market by the introduction of the slave produce of fo reigners. then how are the whig ministers keeping faith with the anti-slavery societies, and with that immense proportion of the British community, who having realised their benevolent intentions in our own dominions, are now directing their ef forts against negro bondage in other quarters of the world. It cannot be too strongly impressed on the pnblic mind that the main purpose and inevitable effect of the proposal which the whigs are this evening to bring forward, is to en courage the importation of slave-grown sugars. Now let it be remembered that " at the period when Wilberforce and Clarkson began their philanthopic exertions against the slave trade, and up to the period of its abolition in 1807, the ut most extent of the annual importation of slaves into all the colonies, (English, French, Danish, Dutch. Spanish, and Portuguese) did not exceed 70,000 ; whereas at the present moment, the Spanish and Brazilian possessions alone, whose sugars are now to be relieved from a part of the existing du ties, import annually no fewer than 150,000 slaves !" With these latter States this country has conducted a series of ne gotiations. during a long course of years, with a view to the complete extinction of slavery. The whig government, in particular, has professed to be indefatigably zealous in this Christian enterprise. The anti-slavery societies, the whole community of Quakers, and other dissenting denominations, have reposed such confidence in the honest intentions of the ministry, that they have latterly left the matter entirely in their own hands ; and when the whigs, on a late occasion, advised Prince Albert to preside at the great gathering at Ex eter-hall, they seemed to leave the philanthropic party no thing further to desire. What, then, must be the astonish ment of the country on finding that the wretched impostors who misconduct their affairs are now actually proposing to put a bounty upon slavery, by encouraging the importation of its iniquitous produce ? Where are the members of parli ament who will venture to support such an enormity, and yet have the courage to face their dnped and indignant con stituents ? It is quite manifest that the interests of the negro race in this question command little commiseration from her n?a jesty s ministers ; but, umless we totally mistake the British character, it will be far otherwise with our countrymen at large. That their sympathies on behalf of suffering humanity will be revived and prosecuted with untiring energy, as well in regard to Spanish and Brazilian colonies as with reference to our own, we cannot for a moment doubt : and as it is no torious that the condition of the negroes in those quarters is infinitely worse than it ever was in any part of the English dominions, we may reasonably infer that the friends of free dom will proportionably exert themselves to resist and defeat whatever may tend to prolong its abominations. As long as the wkigs made no overture for encouraging the system, little could be done towards its removal or amelioration: but now when a positive movement is made by them to pro mote and reward negro oppression by o p en i ng a m arket for its produce, it is impossible but that all the nobler virtues of our countrymen must rise up i n r i g ht eous displeasure to frustrate this guilty attempt, and to consign its authors to to irretrievable infamy. Pray how will Dr. Lushington, Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Pease, and the anti-slavery orators vote upon this occasion? Let the echoes of Exeter-hall give us an honest answer ! ABERYSTWITII — TREMENDOUS TULIND ER STORM.—This town and neighbourhood was on Wednesday, the 28th ult., visited with one o f the most awful th under i e :tortes lre that has ever been witnessed by the oldest inhabit an t s on about four in the a fternoon, accomp an i e d with It came lightning and rain, and cont inued with different de g rees of intensity, until seven, when it ab ated. At nine, it came ' on a gain , and raged with the greatest violence till eleven. This g u st was tremendous. " The spi rit of the storm' was fairly a b road, and thunder, lightning, and rain seemed to vie with each other, as to which should contribute most to the fury of the tempest, while night with her " sable pall" stood over the warring elements communicating to the whole a sense of al most unimaginable gloom and sublimity. The effect of the rain was everywhere visible the next morning, particularly on roads where there was a fall, many of which were grooved as if a sub-soil plough had gone through them. We understand that a cottage was carried off by the flood, near Llanrhystyd, while the inmates, with difficulty, saved themselves. Such was the power of the flood at this place, that a c art was fairly carried off by it to the sea. Llanifar bridge was con siderably damaged, and foot-bridges without number were swept off. We have not heard of any lives being lost, ex cept that of a poor woman near Llangeitho, but whether that was occasioned by the flood or the lightning, we have not been able to ascertain.— C rik an Journal. MISCELLANEOUS Admiral Elliot has reached England from China, in ti Volage.

RATHER DOUBTFUL !—At the in at Greta bridge, kept by Mr. Atkinson, may be seen, pendant from a hat peg, the identical wooden bowl and spoon used at Dotheboys Hall, for the purpose of containing and doling out the treacle-and brimstone to the young tyros, as described by the inimitable ."

The " blow" in the orchards is very abundant, and sheets of blossom every where meet the eye, giving that delightful aspect to the landscape which is nowhere else to be met with ; if but one half of the blossom stands, the crops will be very abundant.—Worcester Journal. TILE MIN ISTRY.—A gentleman, meeting the Duke of Wellington after the late disgraceful discomfiture experienced by the ministers, accosted him thus :—Well, your grace, the ministers will surely go out after this division;" to which the duke promptly rejoined, " Not at all ; they will never go out till driven out by a division of police." By the Alert packet the advices from Rio Janeiro come to the 14th of March. In the Journal do Commercio, of the Bth of that month, there are some interesting returns of the public revenue. They show that the import duties of Rio had considerably increased. In the year 1836 they amounted to 4,200 contos of reis, and in 1840 reached upwards of 6,930 contos, thus showing an increase of 63 per cent. The export duties amounted in 1836 to 1,255 contos of reis, and in 1810 to 1,900 contos, showing an increase of 52 per cent. CHURCH MISSIONARY SOCIETY.—On Tuesday the an nual meeting of this society took place in Exeter Hall, Lon don, at which the Right Hon. the Earl of Chichester pre sided. Amongst the noblemen and gentlemen on the plat form were—Lord Viscount Sandon, Lord Glenelg, the Bishop of Winchester, the Bishop of Chester, Mr. Plumptre. M.P., Sir G. Rose, and a large number of clergymen. The hall was completely filled. At six o'clock in the evening another large meeting of this society was held at the above-mentioned place, on which occasion the Marquis of Cholmondeley was voted to the chair, when numerous speeches were made in support of other resolutions, and the proceedings did not ter minate till nearly 10 o'clock. THREE BROTHERS AND A SISTER DROWNED.—WICK, APRIL 30.—We have seen a letter dated Lochinver, Suther land, 27th instant, addressed to a gentleman of this place (Wilk), from which the following is an extract :—" A boat loaded with sea weed, on board of which there were three brothers and their sister, of the name of M`Kenzie, as also a young man named Matheson, was upset on the evening of Saturday last, the 24th inst., when crossing from the south to the north side of Lochinver. a distance of not more than a mile. The accident was seen from the shore, and a crew im mediately put off in order to render them assistance, but un fortunately, before they arrived at the scene of the sad catas trophe, the boat and those in her had sunk. None of the bodies have as yet been found."—Wick paper. THE GREAT BEGGAR OF THE AGE.—Of all men under the sun, Daniel O'Connell is the person who ought to make his allusions to mendicity the most delicate. Is he not the leading mendicant of Britain—the prince of beggarmen, whose wallets are open to all accessions, from a potato to a pound sterling—who lives by begging, speaks for begging, agitates for bogging, bullies, blarneys, and blasphemes for begging —to whom begging is air, eloquence, life, hope—all ? Does this man accommodate his mouth to mention spoils, and peculation, and plunder, presumed to be perpetrated by tones ? Daniel O'Connell, and none else, could have mus tered impudence to do so. This, in fact, is one striking cha racteristic of a depraved and ruined character—that such can steal, and yet preach homilies against theft ; murder, and harangue, about the Ratheormic slaughter ; rob the poor, and weep over their oppressions ; cry, " Liberty for ever !" and the meanwhile add another rivet.—Fraser's Magazine. DREADFUL FIRE IN LONDON—Two LIVES LOST. — On Tuesday morning, at about ten minutes after twelve o'clock, the inhabitants of the eastern part of London were thrown into the most painful excitement in consequence of a fire of a terrible description, and involving a lamentable sa crifice of human life, breaking out in Church-lane, White chapel, adjacent to the church. The circumstances con nected with the unfortunate calamity are most deplorable, and occasioned throughout the whole day the deepest interest in the neighbourhood. The premises in which the fire com menced were situate on the west side of Church-lane, and comprised a brick building three stories high, containing a shop at the basement, and five rooms above. They were occupied by Mr. Abraham Berlyn, slipper-maker and dealer in marine stores, who let a portion of the first and second floor to a middle-aged female named Wheller, whose chil dren (two boys, one 16 years of age, and the other 8) perished in the flames. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN LONDON.—On Friday night, a few minutes before nine o'clock, a fire broke out in the lower part of the St. George's Hotel, Albemarle-street. The in mates had barely time to escape from the premises ere the flames gained a great ascendancy, and, extending to the rear, caught to the house in Dover-stret, which formed a part of the hotel. In a short time, several engines belonging to the first brigade establishment were on the spot, and, there being a plentiful supply of water, they were immediately put into requisition. About ten o'clock the roofs of both houses fell in with a loud crash, and then, the flames having flee vent, the sky was illumined for milts round. Happily the fire was confined to the hotel, and at eleven o'clock the flames were so far got under as to allay all fear of other houses being in cluded in the conflagragation. Thousands of persons as sembled to witness the scene, amongst the most active of whom were the light-fingered gentry, many of whom, how ever, were taken into custody. The house was furnished in the most costly style, and property to the amount of some thou sands of pounds has been destroyed. It is supposed that the fire originated in the kitchen; but in what way, of course, in the confusion and alarm that ensued, it has been impossi ble to ascertain. Mr. Stewart, the proprietor of the hotel, is insured. The loss of property occasioned by this dreadful occurrence may be estimated at about £lO,OOO. A. YOUTH SHOT BY HIS FATHER l—For a long time past depredations of an extensive nature have been committed in the gardens of Mr. Cooke, of Weston, near Bath, to the perpetrators of which no clue could be obtained. On Mon day night, Mr. C. was alarmed on hearing some one on his premises, and he accordingly got up, and, armed with a loaded gun, proceeded to scour the gardens in search of the untimely intruders. After a brief search he observed some one making off from the cucumber frames. He shouted " Stop," but the trespasser did not heed the cry, and Mr. Cooke accordingly levelled his gun and fired. The object immediately dropped, and on Mr. Cooke seizing him, he was shocked at beholding his own son ! It is necessary to state that this unfortunate youth is one of the worst description of characters, having been more than once placed at the bar for offences of a very serious nature ; and there is too much rea son to fear that through him the robberies in his father's gar den have been effected. It is a melancholy circumstance, but the youth has become so utterly incorrigible as to repel, all sympathy in bis behalf. On examining his person at the station-house, the charge of the gun was found to have struck his neck and shoulders, though not to any dangerous extent. He was taken before the magistrates, at Chandos-house, on the following day, but the unhappy father declining to appear against him, he was discharged with a severe admonition. BURGLARY WITH VIOLENCE.—A daring outrage was per petrated on Monday last at the residence of a farmer, named Bayman, residing near Tring, on the borders of Hefts, in the county of Bucks. Mr. Bayman and his family retired to rest at their usual hour, and about one o'clock on the Tues day morning they were alarmed by a noise as of some person being in the house, and immediately afterwards three men, with their faces blackened, rushed into Mr. Bayman's bed room. He jumped out of bed, when the first man, who had a candle in one hand and a pistol in the other, pointed the pistol at him, and threatened to blow his brains out if he did not be quiet and give up his money. They then forced him on the bed, and, with the most dreadful oaths, declared they would murder him if he did not give them money. Mr. Bayman, finding resistance to be hopeless, gave the villains ten sovereigns and some silver; and one of them then stood guard over him, while the two others proceeded to the bed room of Miss Bayman, the daughter of Mr. Bayman, of whom they demanded money, and, upon her telling them she had not got any, they used most horrible imprecations, and broke open every box and drawer in the room in the expec tation of finding some money. The ruffians then proceeded to the lower part of the premises, and for nearly two hours they were employed in ransacking the house, and when they had packed up a quantity of valuable property, consisting of wearing apparel, silver spoons, watches, &c., they again went to the bed-room of Mr. Bayman, and one of the men produced his gun, and loaded it in his presence, and told him that they would fire it off as a signal when they had left the premises ; and they told him that if he went down stairs, or gave any alarm before the morning, they would return and murder him. The villains then decamped. Three men were afterwards taken into custody for the robbery—and gfter a long investigation were committed for trial. TREMENDOUS HURRICANE.—On Saturday morning last it blew a dreadful hurricane from about six o'clock. At one o'clock it was at its height, and slates, chimneys, &c. were falling in all directions. A great part of the beautiful new church of this town, the walls of which were nearly finished, was blown down. For some minutes before the building gave way, it struggled with the storm, to the admiration and astonishment of many persons who witnessed it ; at length the side-wall came down with a tremendous crash, in a solid piece. Never was a finer piece of mason-work seen ; it was ornamental, and would be permanent had it got time to take bond. The building would have been roofed in the course of the ensuing month. Several large trees were blown down throughout the county; many cains were razed to the ground, and larger houses unroofed. We have not heard of any loss of life. At six o'clock in the evening the hurricane having wasted its fury, the weather moderated, and has since become mild and warm.—Ballyshannon Herald. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT AT GREENOCK.—Monday noon. —A most distressing accident, attended with loss of life, has just occurred here, at the large cotton-mill on the Shaws water. As Mr. Ludovic Grant, the excellent manager of the work, was showing the great wheel, and interior of the the wheel-house, to Mr. Muir, of the saw-mill, Glasgow. they observed two small pieces of stone falling from the upper part of the wall, and while stooping to lift them, the whole eastern side wall of the wheel-house gave way, and buried the party, together with about half a dozen of the workmen, in the ruins. At first it was believed that the whole would have been killed, but Mr. Muir escaped in a most miraculous manner, as did several of the workmen, leaving Mr. Grant and two masons covered with the rubbish. After the lapse of an hour or more, the lifeless corpse of Mr. Grant, together with one of the workmen, were dug out dreadfully disfigured. The third was taken out all but dead, and three of the others were severely injured, but not dan gerously. The event, which has not yet been properly ac counted for, has thrown a deep gloom over the whole com munity, as all were interested in the welfare and prosperity of the work. Mr. Grant and his friends had not been five minutes in the wheel-house when the accident happened. RUIN FOR IRELAND.—REPEAL OF THE CORN LAWS. — It was announced by Lord John Russell, on Friday night, that it was his intention to repeal the corn laws, and establish a fixed duty on foreign importation, in place of the price be ing regulated, as heretofore, by a scale depending upon ave rages. The country will be stunned to hear it. Ireland, in particular, may start on hearing the news, as a merchant, whose all is embarked in a single ship, might start to see her suddenly arrested in the course of a prosperous voyage, and drifting broadside on towards the rockiest promontory that breaks the wave of the Atlantic. Every penny we are worth is at stake. If that protection be withdrawn from us, which has hitherto given us a market for our agricultural produce— our only produce—all we have in the world to depend upon —if that protection be withdrawn, and ministers now openly declare themselves prepared to deprive us of it, Ireland will be left as utterly and as irremediably beggared as ever was the uninsured merchant, whose all was embarked in the one ship, and that ship gone to the bottom. Our whole worldly means—all th a t we p ossess un d er th e cano py of h eaven —d o not amount t o f orty -fi ve m illi ons a - year , an d o f t h a t more than forty consist in agricultural produce. If ministers re duce the price of that sort of produce twenty-five per cent., it would i b e t en millions a-year gone to us and our posterity for ever . They might as well t a k e fiv e -and-twenty per cent. i off the income of a d ay labourer r e at K s i i n x g p d e o n m ce a w - e day. liAttsle compared with the res t o f the u bet ter off than such a l a b ourer, compared with one who regu larly earns a pound a-week. They may be able to bear It ; we cannot.

DISASTER IN THE CHANNEL- PAINFULLY INTERESTING PARTICULARS We furnished in our first edition a brief statement of the loss of a brig, near Holyhead, on Sunday night, by being run into by the ship Brooklyn, outward bound, to New York, and which left this port on that day. The supposition then was, from those on board of the Brooklyn, that the then unknown vessel, (which was supposed to be of about 300 tons bur then,) had suddenly disappeared with all those who were on board of her. We are glad, however, to state, that six of the crew of the ship (not brig, as supposed) were saved. and from one of them—the mate—the following particu lars are derived : The vessel was the ship Mary Scott, from Valparaiso, bound to Liverpool, with a cargo of copper ore, &c., and a quantity of specie. She was the property of Mrs. Little, widow of the late Mr. Little, of Liverpool. She sailed 12th January. On Sunday night, when off Point Lynas, she showed two lights on the starboard side for a pilot. About ten o'clock, while she was running on, a ship, without any lights that were seen by the Mary Scott, ran into her, striking her between the two lights, abaft the main rigging. The wind was blowing fresh at the time, and the topsails of the Mary Scott had been reefed. The concussion carried away some of the spars of the latter vessel, and by the fall of one of them the captain had his back severely injured, if not broken. The Brooklyn was hailed by the Mary Scott, but, according to our informant, did not make towards her, and they soon lost sight of her. As it was evident that the vessel was in a dangerous state, the jolly-boat was lowered, and the mate told the captain that now was the time for him to save his life. He said that if the mate would fetch up a box of spice, he would follow him into the boat. The mate went down and fetched up a box, but, on his reaching the deck, he found the water up to his waist, she being in a sinking state. An attempt was then made to clear the long boat, so as to save all hands ; but she was so entangled with spars and cordage, that this could not be effected; and the mate, as the ship sunk, got into the jolly boat, together with the carpenter, four of the crew, and a boy,—being seven in all. He believes that all the remainder, amounting to eight in number, (including the captain) sunk with the vessel, of which they soon lost sight. The boat drifted first towards Holyhead, and afterwards to wards the Isle of Man. Those on board had neither food nor drink, and were, in the confusion of leaving the ship, but scantily clothed. The weather was stormY, and they were left at the mercy of the wind and waves. They had se cured the chronometer, but having nothing to bail with, had to break out the works and use the metal case as a scoop or ladle. After being tossed about for about twenty-four hours they were picked up, naturally much exhausted, by a Manx fishing-boat. There were no passengers in the Mary Scott. Just before they were picked up, they passed a water cask which they recognised to be one of those belong ing to the Mary Scott. _ _ _ _ In addition to these particulars, we are informed that the vessel and her cargo were insured for £35,000—a1l in Liver pool. Independently of the melancholy loss of life, the de struction of property involved will fall heavily upon our underwriters. As in all probability a legal investigation of the facts, as affecting the Brooklyn, will take place, we abstain from all remark on the fatal disaster,—the more par ticularly as some conflicting testimony regarding the collision may hereafter be adduced. LIVERPOOL. CORN EXCHANGE,—This DAY (From Messrs. R. MAKIN (Fir SONS' Circular.) Beyond a fair quantity of Oats and Oatmeal, we have re ceived very little Irish produce of any kind since this day week, but have several arrivals of Grain to report coastwise ; also an abundant supply of Wheat and Beans, with some parcels of Oats from the continental ports of Europe, and upwards up 5000 barrels of Flour from New York. Notwithstanding a pretty general impression that the ministerial plan for permitting the importation of Foreign Grain at a fixed duty of Bs. on wheat, ss. on Rye, 4s. 6d. on Barley, and 3s. 6d. per quarter on Oats, is not likely to be carried in that form, during the present session, the mere agitation of the question caused a continuance through out the week of the depression stated in our last, and prices of all free articles exhibited a doubtful tendency, with out producing a disposition to increased demand ; the disin clination also to invest in bonded produce, which, by the above measure, would be materially enhanced in value, indicates the public opinion as to the improbability of its being brought into immediate operation. Although at this day's market the transactions in Wheat were, on the whole, very limited in amount, holders in gene ral refused to submit to any further decline, and except for some descriptions of English, which were rather lower, our last quotations remain unvaried.—British and Foreign Flour, duty paid, continued in slow request, at a small abatement in prices. —Of bonded Flour 1,000 barrels only are reported to have been sold since Tuesday last, and in bonded Wheat no sales have transpired. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease remained in the same dull state as on Friday, with a slight tendency to decline in value. -Oats, being offered ld. per 451bs. below the rates of this day se'nnight, were in moderate demand at that reduction; and Oatmeal, receding 6d. per 2401b5., was rather more sale able in consequence.

It is generally expected that the division on Lord Sandon's motion will not take place until Tuesday night, or rather Wednesday morning. The report gains ground that minis ters will resign if beaten. An extraordinary degree of bustle and activity prevails at all the public offices.—Standard. A MOST AUDACIOTTS BURGLARY.-011 Sunday afternoon last, when the family were at church, the parsonage at New ton Heath, the residence of the Rev. W. Hutchinson, was entered, at the kitchen window, by one or more depredators, and in the short space of abou t one hour, the whole of the dwelling, from top to bottom, was ransacked by thieves. As many as ten rooms were closely examined, every box and drawer, secured by lock, was broken open; even the ser vants' attic was plundered of two half-crowns, found in a purse. The thieves decamped with booty to the amount of upwards of £4O, conststing of silver plate only, together with a piece of cold roast beef. Several suspicious charac ters were seen lurking about during the day, and some of the rev. gentleman's parishioners have expressed their ability to identify the parties, should they prove to be implicated in the robbery.—Manchester Courier. USEFUL SUGGESTION.—I have seen many a promising and fine young man gradually led to,dissipation, gambling, and ruin, merely by the want of means to make a solitary evening pass pleasWly. I earnestly advise any youth who quits that abode of purity, peace and delight, his paternal home, to acquire a taste for reading and writing. At every place where he may reside long, either in England or on the Continent, let him study to make his apartment as attractive and comfortable as possible ; for he will find a little extraor dinary expense, so bestowed at the beginning, to be good economy at the end ; let him read the best books in the lan guage of the place in which he lives; and above all, let him never retire to rest without writing at least a page of original comments on what he has seen, read, and heard in the day. This habit will teach him to observe and discriminate ; for a man ceases to read with a desultory and wandering mind. which is utter waste of time, when he knows that an account of all the information - which he has gained must be written at night.— Clayton's Sketches. NATIONAL NEGLECT OF RELIGION IN THE COLONIES. — That in past times we have been, as a nation, culpably neg ligent in providing on any plan for the religious wants of our colonies, is but too notorious. The extension of our religion has not even been made an object in the extension of our empire. England, forgetting her position in the world as a Christian State, has acted, in her measures of conquest and even colonization, just as any heathen nation might have done, without any solicitude for the honour of God, without any regard to her own religious responsibility. If at any time she has shown any anxiety on the score of religion, it was exhibited chiefly, if not solely, in a fear of offending the religious prejudices of her new dependents ; and accordingly her cannon have roared assent, and her warriors been sum moned forth to do honour, as in Malta or the West Indies, to the Roman worship, or, as in Corfu, to the Greek; whilst in India she has even mixed herself up with the obscene and bloody rites of the abominable Juggernaut. Such, until within a late period, was the religious—or to use its proper epithet—such was the irreligious, the atheistical policy of this mighty nation ; and to a great extent it is so still. Ashamed of her faith, or afraid of avowing it, or at the best regardless of its holy claims, she has caused the church to veil her glories, not only to forms of Christianity to which she does not assent, but even to the worst pollutions of hea thenism. The furtherance of true religion in her colonies and provinces, or indeed of any religion, excepting as sub sidiary to some worldly end, seems hardly even yet an integral part of her measures. It is true the question of religion has of late years gained more attention ; but the work is not even yet conducted upon any fixed plan or principle, especially by the nation, as such. It is left, on the contrary, almost en tirely to voluntary religious associations to proceed in the matter just as they may feel inclined, whilst the nation looks on for the most part as an unconcerned spectator ; or if she interferes it is too often to hinder rather than assist, by em bracing eery opportunity of strengthening its enemies.— Witness, for instance, the discontinuance of the grant for the support of the Canadian clergy ; witness again the encou ragement given to Romanism in Australia, as so forcibly ex posed by the Bishop of Exeter in his late well-known charge. —British Critic. THE NEW NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE.--The new property already created by Mr. Grainger's vast conceptions, first formed in 1833, and still in progress of extension, has been valued at £995,000, or nearly one million sterling. With an immense stock of honesty, punctuality, and plain open deal ing, guided in all his transactions by a fervid imagination and a calm genius, has Mr. Grainger been able to accumu late such a fortune. Towards achieving it, he at first con tributed nothing, or very little of pecuniary means, save perhaps a slender sum of five thousand pounds, the marriage portion of an affectionate, intelligent, and clever wife, who has been indefatigable in aiding and cheering the partner of her life. The general appearance of the streets, with their rich and diversified architecture, is particularly striking to the eye of a stranger, and people find it difficult to express the sensation that pervades the mind on a first inspection. Their great extent, their uniformity and expensive decora tions, even to the carved work of both houses and shops, all executed in solid stone, of an agreeable and uniform tint, give an idea of magnificence so peculiar and unexpected to those who arrive at Newcastle unprepared for such a scene by anything they have beholden elsewhere in their journey thither, that the mind cannot help being seized with wonder and admiration. These feelings are first awakened at the sight of Grey-street, certainly one of the finest double lines of domestic architecture of rich designs and lofty proportions to be found in Europe. Ascending upon a gentle acclivity from south to north, and with a slight curve which detracts nothing from its beauties, this superb street extends to nearly four hundred yards in length, with an average width of eighty feet. In its architectural decorations it is most elaborate ; and its different sections formed by the intersecting of the cross streets, comprise separate designs, among which one recognises at once the Corinthian order, after the example of the interior of the Pantheon at Rome, with columns twenty five feet high; and by its side, the more chaste imitation of the noblest example of the lonic order, that of the temple of Illysus at Athens ; the columns measuring twenty-two feet in height.—Dr. Granville's English Spas. ST. GEORGE AND BODLEWYDDAN. — Instead of proceed ing onwards to Conway, I bent my steps again towards St. Asaph, leaving that place and the other parts of Carnarvon shire until after I had seen the vales of Clwyd and Llangollen. About three miles from Abergele is the little village of St. George, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the vale, re markable for the sumptuous Gothic mausoleum erected over the vault in which Lady Dinorben was interred ; it is how ever quite out of character with the simple, unornamented church to which it is attached. Leaving St. George, the im posing entrance gateway of Kinmel, the seat of Lord Dinor ben, soon presents itself, the park studded with majestic timber, and herds of deer, some browsing quietly and others scampering in every direction. Kinmel was extended, indeed almost rebuilt, a few years ago, by Hopper, of London. A magnificent lonic portico is the principal external feature, while the entrance hall and staircase enriched with marble columns, and the elegantly proportioned and superb dining room, all in perfect style of keeping, prove the taste which has been exercised in building and furnishing this luxurious abode. From Kinmel the road leads onwards to Bodlewydd an, the residence of Sir John Williams, Bart., which is reached through a massy Gothic gateway. The mansion it self has undergone a metlmorphosis from Grecian to the castellated style. The original change was suggested and carried into effect by Mr. Edwd. Welch, architect, of Liver pool, and has since been continued under the direction of the agent of the estate. The work is well executed, and, with one or two slight exceptions, in perfect consisteecy of cha racter. From the turrets of the castle, the traveller may en joy one of the richest and most luxuriant prospects that can meet the eye; the wide spreading vale stretches forward like the val sans retour of fairy land ; studded with beautiful seats, and quiet homes of romantic loveliness,—Rhyl, and the extensive marine view beyond—the sinuous course of the Foryd—the bold towers of Rhuddlan—Saint Asaph Cathe dral, and the extensive and far distant mountain scenery around.—From Roscoe's Wales, new edition, now publish ing in monthly parts.

Of Argols and Tartar there have been moderate sales; 43 casks Naples red Argols brought 345, and some fine white Italian 46s per cwt. 10 casks Flag Annato brought yid per lb. Some French Madders were offered by auction this week, but no bid was obtained. 50 bales Naples Roots sold at previous rates; for other descriptions there is some inquiry, nut no sales reported. Nothing done in Quercitron Bark. Only a few sales have been made in Olive Oil, but there have been some arrivals, which will keep the market better supplied than it has been for some time past. A few tuns pale Seal Oil are reported 432 los; in other kinds of Fish Oils nothing has been done. Some inquiry still continues for new Seal Oil to arrive,'but the Importers are not disposed to sell until furteer accounts are received by the Fishery: Seed Oils are more steady, and sellers not inclinettto go on at the reduction noticed last week. Oil of Turpentine has receded fuity 30s per ton ; the price to-day is £52 10s, but is little more than nominal. Palm Oil is in good demand ; the sales during the week have been 250 tons, at 434 lOs to £3l, and the lowest price is now 435, with few sellers. The stock of Russian Hemp being held for high prices, and the Trade pretty well supplied, there is little doing; but Jute is in good demand, and 1000 bales have been sold at 413 15s to .414 lOs per ton. 50 bales Smut Hemp are also reported at 418 10s, and a few bale of fine Manilla at £29. A fair inquiry has appeared through out the week for yellow Candle Tallow, at moderate prices, namely at 48s for Petersburg, and 478 6d to 475 9d for Odessa ; about 50 pipes South American, of fine quality, brought 43s 6d to 44s 6d per cwt. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 7 The demand for Cotton to-day has been very limited, and our market has even a quieter appearance than usual, and greater difficulty experienced to effect sales ; and the total amount of business is rather under than over 2000 bales. The sales of the week are 17,300 bales, of which 1200 American have been taken for export, and 1000 by specula tors ;—as to prices, we may remark, that there is no change since last Friday, except that the middling to fair descrip tions of American have been met with rather cheaper, say -kd per lb.

We continue to have a very limited demand; consumers merely purchasing for the supply of their immediate wants in very small quantities, averaging about DM bales per day. No change in prices, and though we quote the market easier from time to time, spinners cannot meet with Cotton when they come down, at prices they had previously expected, and many return without making any pur chase atall—holding back to the last extremity, sanguine in their opinion that much lower prices must eventually be submitted to. COTTON MARKET WEEKLY REPORT. In the early part of the week the market assumed rather more steadiness, but the demand having been continued limited to the reduced wants of the Trade, the common and middling qualities have again receded about per lb from the quotations of last week. All other descriptions remain without change. 1000 bales of American have been taken on speculation, and 1200 for export.

From abroad there are reporte. 16.795 quarters of Wheat, 3,260 quarters of Oats, 4,265 quarters of Beans, and 4,070 barrels of Flour; and duties have been paid on 14,410 quarters of Wheat, 515 quarters of Beans, and 4,864 barrels of Flour. Fine weather and the Government agitation of the Corn-law question have tended jointly to render the trade dull: and, on Tuesday, prices of Wheat, generally, were Id to 2d per bushel lower than at the close of the week. Holders have since refused to recede farther, but, on the other hand, sales been effected only to needy buyers, who have limited their purchases to the extent of their immediate wants. Flour has gone off slowly, though ()tiered on easier terms. With accession of supply, both Oats and Oatmeal have declined in value. At yesterday's market the former was sold at id to ld per bushel and the latter 3d to 6d per load below the rates quoted in our last report. Barley has been almost without inquiry; the little remaining on hand; however, has been held without variation as to price. Beans and Peas have moved only in retail. A parcel of Philadelphia Flour has changed hands, in bond, during the week, at 22s and some New Orleans at 20s per barrel. LON.DON GAZETTE.-FRIDAY, MAY 7, PARTNERSHIPS DISSGL% ED J: N. Wood, W.
