ottrp. THE PREACHING OF KNOX BEFORE THE LORDS OF THE CONGREGATION—JUNE 10, 1559. Most respectfully inscribed to Sir David Wilkie. BY CHARLES SWAIN. Oh, cross of Christ, first reared 'mid scoff and scorn, Cherished in secret 'gsinst a bad world's bate; Now, on the neck maiden of beauty worn— Blazing 'mid arms and banners of the state — The flags of navies—crowned and consecrate !— Frst, type of persecution, shame, and blood; — Now the bowed knees of nations on thee wait, Awl kiags adore where burning mar ty rs s t oo d , Like Faith amidst ttw flames—unchanged and nnsubdued Oh, blest of Heaven, Religion, God-born guide !— Not thine the torture and the bigot-chain,— Not thine the unsparing creed,—the zealot pride That would through persecution Christ attain! Thon'hast no heavenly joy in human pain! Bat ever com'st by love and mercy led! Yet wert thou parent-called by many a Cain, Who from the altar struck his brother dead, And pray'd with gore-stained hands—as if 'twere incenseabed! Come to our souls and make us all thine own, Come with thine eye of truth, —thy lip of grace,— Thy peace—which is the light of Jesus' throne; — Thy hope—which beameth like an angel's face; Oh, come, Religion, all the world embrace! For all are brothers, and God's home would seek; Back to thy breast our erring footsteps trace; Teach us with Christian charity to speak, Nor crouch to high estate—nor trample on the weak ! Swords in the crowded chancel—armed feet Trampling the solemn aisle-4hom serve they here? Terror is in the wild and anxious street Where gleams the holy church with axe and spear! Where Crichton, Napier, Rutherford, appear To list the voice which menaced death defies; — The intrepid Knox !—who sees not, owns not fear, But to the gospel lifts his heavenward eyes, Content to yield his life, if fur God's Word be dies ? Fear? He had known captivity untamed; Had worn the dungeon's fetters undismayed: Fear? Though the martyr's death had round him flamed, Or rack inquisitorial been displayed, His heart —unconquerably firm—had made A crown of glory from the thorns of hate ! Fear? 'Twas not man could make his soul afraid. God was his sword—his shield inviolate, Aud fenced by these his soul could stand and smile at fate! But not alone that bounded spot of earth, His sin-denouncing thunders smote each land Where Rome's idolatries and crimes had birth ; Her mitres shook 'neath his indignant hand : Though offered titles, sent at Kings' command To win his silence—still no Judas be To vend his Saviour for a bribe; and brand The immortal conquest of a Gospel free, For rank ambition craves, and godless bends the knee! Then vain was Hamilton's remorseless threat, That dared he mount the pulpit—even there Should he by sword and arquebus be met; Shot like a wolf within its safest lair! And spake the preacher—" For His sake I dare Not only thine—hilt all sin's champions armed Thou of a creed that knows not hew to spare, • Shalt learn how Truth can face thee unalarmed, And prove from bolt and brand this bo,k of life is charmed I" And forth the lightning of his spirit flew, Striking the superstitious of his day; Its relics, images, and saints o'erthrew ; Rending . the veil which bid corruption's way! And from that hour the pomp and, the array Of mitred mammon lost their legal pride; The cross of Christ again assumed its sway ; God's book to all the world was opened wide, And nations blest His name who for redemption died! See! mark you not the dark emotions round? The brow convulsed, the wild, vindictive eye? Methinks I hear the stern, deep murmuring sound Of carbless rage and vengeance sweeping by! 'Tis but the Artist's mind, and genius high, Yielding existence to departed time; Showing how Christian faith may yet defy Sin's serpent feet the pulpit steps climb, To sell the shrines of heaven, or shake our trust sublime ! Manchester, CONTEMPOR I? PRESS. TACTICS OF THE CONSERVATIVE LEADERS. (from the Times.) It is not the first time by many that we have concurred with other friends of constitutional conservatism in doubting whether the Duke of Wellington and Sir Ro bert Peel did not carry to an excess, ill justified by the nature of the enemy they had to deal with, the spirit of frankness, forbearance, and reconciliation. The illus trious duke has on more than one occasion flung over the ministers his cloak of asbestos, which no spark of public indignation could scorch or penetrate. On the Canada question his grace protected them from ruin, by express ing himself in terms of unfortunate ambiguity, which some time afterwards he cleared up in a manner imply ing full as much of actual blame to the government as would have been affixed to them by the whole world had he originally held his tongue. Sir Robert Peel, though imbued with a tendency to conciliation quite . equal . to that of the illustrious duke, has not hitherto indulged his disposition with such want of wariness or such bad for tune as would enable the tricky ministers to found upon his statements any plausible system of misrepresenta tion. Ind the right hon. baronet must perceive what encouragelnent is . afforded him by the Queen's go vernment and their creatures to exhibit any other than a stern.and uncompromising character in his political corn :uunkaations 'with them, even when in the discharge of Iris public duty, and in the official expression of his sen timents or intentions across the floor of the House of commons. So ill qualified are those whom tie addresses to appreciate the proceedings of an upright and straight forward man, that the return which they made to the lea.ler of the conservatives for his pacific overtures of Wednesday last, with regard to the settlement of the three great Trish questions, was nothing better, in Thurs day's Downing- street prints, than a series of captious and offensive insinuations against the candour of Sir R. Peel and the good faith of his proposals to the government. The meaning and purpose of Sir R. Peel's intimation as to the course he would pursue on these questions were simply to assure ministers, that whatever measures he might feel it incumbent on him to recommend in corn mittee on the corporation bill, or afterwards on the tithe bill, would be in strict subservience to a conscientious .desire for the settlement—the final settlement—of the diiputed Irish-questions. The game played by ministers seems to be that of pro 'yoking the conservatives into some intemperate or extra -vagant propositions, which may be sent forth and de -scribed to the country as so many, perverse obstacles thrown in the way of an adjustment, on which the mi nistry may found some pretexts for further procrastina •tion. A - fair and wise remedy for the inconveniences now complained of, and cure for the wants really felt throughout Ireland—namely, that of a tithe commute tion, and of a relief bill for the poor —are far, we be lieve, from the thoughts or desires of the ministry. That those defects in the political state of Ireland should long .remain unprovided for, but still 'fostered as subjects for factious agitation, and for fictitious murmurings against the supposed repugnance of the conservatives to every species of reform, suits exactly the views, and principles, and enslaved position of the Whigs in office. It is na •tural, therefore, that any assurance conveyed to parlia ment of Sir Robert Peel's anxiety to close the above sources of disturbance should be wormwood to the Mel bourne ministers, and should draw down upon the right hon. baronet whole vollies of spiteful abuse. Likewise, respecting the corporation bill, which we -have never numbered among the real wants of the peo pie 'of Ireland, who care not a straw about the matter; :Sir Robert Peel showed on Tuesday a sincere willing ness to go as far as the safety of the Protestant church and state would admit in effecting some satisfaCtory com promise upon that absurd and dangerous, though much clamoured for, innovation. - His reward here, also, has been the grossest insolence from the yelping curs of Downing-street. Now, we trust that Sir Robert Peel will not be " shaken from his propriety" by such menaces. It is our earnest hope . that the right honourable baronet will turn the ta bles on the Whigs, and in the exposition of his Irish po licy lay before the country such a case, that, if the mi nisters refuse to adopt his proposals, the people of the limited kingdom will cry out against their factious and. sinister obstinacy ; while if, for shame or fear, the go vernment dare not resist the justice of the conservative amendments, the sting will be drawn from this noxious cabinet—the peace of the country, for a time at least, be secured—and that which has constituted the sole princi ple of cohesion between the Whigs, the radicals, and Pa pists be dissolved at once and for ever. But while it is to be expected that Sir R. Peel would not shrink from any honest and wholesome concession, Calculated for the fair adjustment of long-subsisting Oar • rely—it is above all things the right, and must be the care, of Englishmen, to demand that he makes no parti cle nor shadow of approximation to the proposed measures of the Queen's Ministers, by which any risk oreven 'transient wrong can be entailed upon the sacred institti ticns of the monarchy. It may be expedient to give up something, for the sake of lasting peace; but it is of pa- Taniount duty to retain all that can be regarded as es - sential to our permanent happiness and safety. THE LATE SPANISH DEGION. (From the Newly Telegraph. The unfortunate men who were entrapped info join ing -the buccaneering expedition under Sir G. D. L. Evans, and have escaped being butchered in Spain, can testify that the tender mercies of liberalism are cruel. The present liberal ministers held out every inducement in their pOwer to the people of the united kingdom to encourage them to join Evens ; and how have they now treated those who were silly enough to be seduced from their homes ? They have rewarded Evans with British honours for running away when tiredpf b e i ng d e f eate d, 'but wh a t h ave th ey done for the unfortunates whom he desteited ? Mier eentending with the troops of Carlos, and a still ''" r l )47 , - eit'ul enemy, Want, and shedding their blood r 2 the service o f the Queen of Spain, hundreds of our countrymen have returned to England in abject poverty and wretchedness. They have claims upon the Spanish government for arrears of pay which that government will not discharge Our ministers have been repeatedly besought to interfere, but in vain. On Tuesday evening the Marquis of Londonderry presented a petition to the. House of Lords from the officers and men of the late Legion, praying ministers to do something for them ; but Lord Melbourne would only promise the " good offices" of himself and colleagues, and denied that the petitioners had any right to more. His lordship does the misguided and hapless men much injustice. Had he and his colleagues not, to say the least, allowed false hopes to be held outolle Legion would-never have been formed. He is, therefore, bound in good faith to see them righted. Every Englishman has'an indefeasible claim upon him, as the chief minister of the crown, for protection from robbery by any foreign power ; and this claim is a thousand-fold stronger on the part of the men of the Legion, because of Lord Mel bourne's part in getting it up. He should, as he could without much trouble, compel the Spanish government to pay the arrears forthwith. He would do so if he were desirous to vindicate bis own honour. The Legion was fraudulently originated; and all those who were of it, save the inglorious knight, have been fraudulently dealt with from first to last. Their fate is a warning to Eng lishmen, which we hope will never be forgotten, to leave dishonourable and unjustifiable warfare to our enemies. IRISH MUNICIPAL REFORM. (From the Dublin Evening Mail.) We have feceived from our London Correspondent the fol lowing important communication on this all absorbing subject. It will be read in Ireland with deep anxiety—and if we be not much mistaken, the proposed arrangements will by all parties be deemed far from satisfactory : " LONDON, SATURDAY, 1M A Y - 26.—The discussion on the Irish corporation bill has been postponed until Tuesday next. I be lieve I can inform you pretty accurately of the concessions which the Conservatives mean to make in return for the conces sions made to them on the Irish tithe question by the govern ment. I apprehend Sir Robert Peel will on Tuesday night in. form the house that be is prepared to grant corporations to all the towns in Ireland having a population exceeding 15,000 souls. This will consequently include the following towns, viz.: —Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Waterford, Belfast and Galway. The franchise is to be a ten-pound one, and the rate under the new poor-law bill to be the basis. Sir Robert Peel will also insist on the appointment of sheriffs, recorders, &c. being in the bands of the government, and not, as in the English bill, in the gift of the council. It will also be intimated to the government that unless the tithe bill be framed in every particular so as to meet the views of the Conservative party, no corporate reform bill will obtain their sanction. Whether or no the plan T have sketched will receive the approval of Mr. O'Connell or his servants, the ministers, I have no Means of ascertaining, but all must allow that the proposed concessions on the part of the Conservatives are large enough to satisfy the rapacity of any one save Mr. O'Coanell." 'This is the first intimation in the press of either country as to the course intended to be adopted. The reservation which sus pends the passing of the Corporate Refoirn Bill, to the extent and validity of the securities to be provided for the Church in the Tithe Bill, is intended apparently to disarm the fears of those who dread the operations of expediency and the facilities of compromise—and doubtless it will reconcile many to with hold their jud g ments until the experiment shall have been tested by the actual plifivisions of both measures. Neither can we deny that the restriction of municipal rights to a high rate of popula tion—and of corporate franchise to a high rate of taxation, will remove some of the apprehensions with which this measure is viewed by the Protestants of Ireland. We shall also admit that the retention of the power of appointing Sheriffs, Recorders, &c. from the hands of the corporate democracy to be thus created, is a vast improvement upon the English system ; and consequently that if the bill, as contemplated, be carried by both Houses of Parliament, it will constitute a measure much less dangerous and objectionable than the formidable transfers here tofore insisted upon by the members of the Lichfield House conspiracy. Notwithstanding these improvements, we must en ter, in the name of the Protestants of Ireland, a caveat against the measure. After all, it is but a greater or less degree, a transfer of municipal privileges from one party to another; and as long as that is the case in any respect, so long and so far the original objections continue to be valid. Corporations, mu nicipal or otherwise, are the creatures of the law, created for specific purposes. When these purposes cease to be exigent— or when the pursuit of them becomes inexpedient, it is obviously competent to the creating power to annihilate its own creatures; and the policy may be wise and beneficial which dictates their extinction ; but it can be neither wise nor beneficial to re create those institutions in favour of an adverse principle—or even a different body of constituents—still subject to those ob jections and inconveniences'which render their suppression, as far as regarded their original possessors, salutary or expedient. And such is the case of the Irish Municipal Corporations. They were created for the encouragement of the ,Protestant religion, and for strengthening the bonds of connexion between Great Britain . and Ireland, by fostering in this country a British in terest. If they have become needless in these respects—if their working be prejudicial to both or either of their original objects —let them be suppressed—let them be extinguished. The Pro testants of Ireland make no objection; for peace-sake they are content to part with privileges, which, for centuries have been their birth-right. But in the name of common sense—cf true religion—of sound policy, and of national faith, do not trans fer them, in whole or in part, to those against whose power and machinations they were first set up as a bulwark ; do not baud them over to the enemy as instruments to lee used, and effec tually used, to the pie motion of purposes the very reverse of those contemplated in their first institution. A measure short of the latter we feel confident will never content the enemies of the Protestant faith and British connection in Ireland :—any thing approaching to it cannot but dissatisfy and discourage that powerful, intelligent, loyal, and wealthy portion of the Irish people, on whose affections and religious sympathy the permaneuce of the British connection, so far as this country is concerned, altogether depends. Security for the church is, doubtless, a desirable object; but, under peculiar circum stances, it might be purchased at a rate wantonly extravagant ; and, in the present circumstances, we can ourselves command the market. We can reduce the enemy to concession, without sacrificing one principle, or abandoning one just and reasona ble advantage of our own. We can afford to hold out, for the adversary but exhausts his vigour in those attacks which daily add to our triumph, by proving our position to he' impregnable. We therefore recommend the protestants of Ireland to pause and ponder ere they finally approve. The measure we confess to be divested of several of its most adverse chafacters:—cor porations, as now proposed, will become a name millet than a reality; in the reform proposed, the remedy dwindles into a placebo. But in proportion as it is so, it is less likely to be ac ceptable to that party to whose pretensions it professes to be a sacrifice; and we are, therefore, convinced that the safest and the best method for all would be the total abolition of the insti tutions themselves. For supposing, for a moment, the Protestants to be content —is there no other party to be satisfied? Will the Irish agita tion, joyfully accept this proffered bauble of corporate equality in lieu of the substantial machine of municipal power? Will they accept dress parts in the six raree shows of municipal dig nity reserved for their amusement, and play mayors and com mon-council men on the stage of public life, will) all the strut 2 and as little of the reality, as the members of the histrionic body enact kings and cobblers—tyrants and huffoons—" lords and others," on the stage theatrical ? To ride in the gilt coach of Dublin—to walk behind a mace in Cork—to sport a three-cocked hat on week days, in' Limerick—to he ushered into chapel after the cap of maintenance in Waterford—to sit in Walker's chair in Derry—or even to tlstonish Belfast with the unwished-for glories of a civic procession, may be an object to some—" for "little things are great to little men"—but what is this but the childishness of ambition, "pleased with the rattle, tickled with a straw;" whilst all the greatness and solid power whicirmanly ambition wishes to grasp, have already vanished from the empty pageant? It is true these may be Caivthialic mayors, and com mon-councilmen, and burgesses and so forth—hut "the mace" will be, as in Cromwell's eves, "au empty bauble," and their councils so many schools of idle oratory, or noisome agitation. The substantial powers of a corporation, viz., the election of sheriffs, &c., will, by the present me asure , b e w ithd rawn ; a nd the local authority over the lighting, paving, furnishing of wa ter, and other municipal improvements, will he, in every in stance, vested in commissioners appointed for these purposes. Unlike the municipal institutions of England, in which the powers just mentioned are legally vested, the new corporations to be established in Ireland will he but the shadow of a shade— the unreal mockery—the unsubstantial pageant of our ancient corporate solidity. There still be the rotundity of the alderman, per chance, but nothing,, as we may say, of the calapash and calapee which ministered to his greatness. 'Surely it is not for the sake of conferring on the one hand, or acquiring, on the other, such trumpery honours, that the great and powerful Protestant interest is to be offended, and its reli gion, liberties, rights, and independence, to be endangered We beg of her Majesty's opposition to consider this, without reference to the motives which actuate the concession—for it must be apparent, to the most short-sighted observer, that the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel are conscious that the time is come when the voice of the nation will make the accept ance of office imperative—and it is equally obvious, that the settleinent of These qtfestions is solely with a view of removing all obstacles to the permanent continuance of their adininistra tiun. NATIONAL EDUCATION (IRELAND ) (From the Dublin Evening Mail.) On• Friday last, in the house of - Lords, the Bishop of - Exeter, in a speech unexampled for its force and eloquence, - brought toward his promised resolutions, condemnatory of the National Board of Education. fro attempt an analysis of this masterly oration would imply almost a transcription of the whole: for the arrangement is so connected, the argument so close, the ex pression so condensed and unredundant, that it is impossible to the nicest ingenuity to compress the materials within a smaller compass, or represent them in language more terse, and at the same time, intelligible. The general import, however, of his lordship's speech may be collected in the compact form of. the resolutions which he proposed. l hey are three iu number, and are as follows : " lst. That it appears that the system of national education in Leland has failed to attain the objects which are stated in a letter dated Oct., 1831, written by Mr Stanley, now Lord Stan ley, to the Doke of Leinster, especially as to uniting Roman catholics and proteStaiit4 in the same schools. "2d, The: the working' of the system has tended to-the undue eocniiragement of the Roman catholic and Discouragement of the protestant religion in Ireland. - .. "3d. That the modifications recommended in the fourth report have not been found adequate to prevent or mitigate the evils complained of." To the proof of those propositions his lordship devoted his great talents and research with such address and effect, that the utmost defence undertaken by ministers or their friends amounted to no more than an evasion of the charges, or the induction of a few particular cases where the' system, in their opinion, had not worked out all the evils which it has a tendency to produce. Lord Lansdowne's reply was rather an apology than a defence; whilst that of the'Bishop of Derry, who was understood to ex press his "heartfelt satisfaction at baying an opportunity of re cording his humble, hut conscientious, support of the national system of education," was an open—( should we not add ?)—an indecorous desertion of the principles to which he himself, by sanctioning their proceedings, committed a large and misdi rected pOrtion of the clergy of his united diocess, in the cele brated document known as the Derry and Raphoe resolutions. Those resolutions were as strorgiv condemnatory of parts of the national system as the Bishop of Exeter himself could draw up; they bad the Bishop's sanction; if our memory serve us cor rectly he presided at some of the deliberations in which they were adopted. But it should appear his lordship's expediency has taken another turn ; and rather than not support the-Whigs, he has turned his back upon his own clergy. To their construc tion we resign him. Another Bishop (quere Protestant?) at tempted the defence of the Popish Propaganda in Marlborough street : " You complain (said Doctor Stanley, the Titular of Nor wich,) that the Roman Catholics of Ireland are barbarians. (- No, no,' from the opposition benches.) Why, you say that they are not to be believed on their oaths (` no, no,' and a cry of hear' from the same benches;) and you call them ittulators. (' Hear, hear,' from the ministerial benches.) Now, if they are barbarians, if they are ignorant of the obligations of an oath, if they are idolators, if they are thus immersed in barbarism and superstition, whose fault is it (` Hear, bear,' from the mi nisterial benches.)" We can tell hint whose fault it is—and upon an authority which he will not choose to reject=that of a commissioner of his favourite board—its most active commissioner—the life and soul of the whole system, even the Rev. James Carlile—trans lator of the pro-popery version of Scripture Extracts used in the National Schools. his gentleman, whether wittingly or not, has told the cause why Ireland is barbarous, why perjury is pre valent—nay, why murder is almost 'a Sabbath pastime. We quote from the Bishop of Exeter's speech the following solution of those awful mysteries : " On the authority of the Rev. James Carlile, the resident commissioner," said his hirdship, "au 'authority which the go verninent, at all'events, would not be likely to dispute—he was enabled to state that which he well kneW'br;fore, but which their lordships might be glad to hear had become evident to Mr. Cathie—that the Roman Catholic priests held the Roman Ca tholic people in the'itrictest and 'most oppressive thraldom. In a memorial, a copy of which ha held in his band (proceeding, as we understood, from the aboVe-named rev. gentleman) it was stated that recent events prOved that the Roman Catholic priesthood in Ireland were must deeply tinged with intilel principles, and that they rejected the• Scriptures as the Word of God, although they formerly held them to be so sacred that none but the clergy should be allowed to peruse them. Some amongst the Roman Catholic priesthood in Ireland held that it would have been better if the Bible had never been written. It was justly observed that the people of . Ireland possessed no means of learning what Christianity was, otherwise than thiough those teachers." Is it now a wonder that Ireland should be so barbarous ? Have we now a solution of that state of things which led Baron Richards to remark on the frequency of murder following close upon attendance at the mass house - ? Are we surprised, as the learned baron expressed himself to be, that the instruction the people received from their church had neither a moral, a re ligious, nor a humanizing tendency ? Alas! it is for not effectually counteracting such teachers and such lessons--bv endowing colleges and establishing boards—that she is still more awfully responsible. And yet—it is with sorrow and shame that we record it—and yet. with these facts staring him in the fate, we find the illustrious Wellington lending the sanction of his name to this ungodly system, and voting for a continued experiment on the morals and religion of the nation through the agency of the National Schools. His Grace admitted the truth of the Bishop of Exeter's charges; he distinctly admitted that as a system of conjoint education the national scheme had failed—that its tendency was to encourage popery, and to dis courage the protestant religion in Ireland; and yet he would leave it undisturbed to work out its evil purposes. We can un derstand the whigs, who have no disrelish for infidel principles; we can understand the bishop of Derry, who wishes to support the whigs through thick and thin ; we cau understand the bishop of Norwich, in which see a faucy far popery, seems to be inhe rent; but we really cannot comprehend the Duke of Wellington in the course which he has taken. His grace may probably be paving and smoothing the way for his return to power in company with his former colleagues. But we can assure him that should he trample down in his way any of those great principles which the protestants of the em pire venerate, he will come to the helm with the public confi dence in his virtues very much diminished, and of course with a corresponding diminution of that power which has hitherto borne him forward to the object of his ambition. The Earls of Roden, Wicklow, and Winchelsea, are not chargeable with this time-serving abandonment of either friends or principles. They boldly stood out for the sake of truth, pro testantisin, and civiliiation, and have added to their patriotic wreath the laurel of an independence which severs them from a respected leader, whenever - be appears to depart from that course which true religion points out, and the soundest policy sanctions. The speech of the Earl of Roden will be read with delight by every man in Ireland who desires to see -national education conducted on sound and holy principles, who reve rences the Bible as the word of God, and respects the clergy of the established church as a learned, pious, and able Christian ministry, zealous in their master's cause, and devoted to the service of their countrymen of all religious persuasions in what soever pertains to their temporal or eternal happiness. We trust the Bishop of Norwich will lay to heart the truths so im pressively brought before him by this distinguished champion of the protestant faith. MORE OF THE NUNNERY BUSINESS. (From the New York Protestant Vindicator of April 13.) MR. RICE AND HIS DVPARQ TRIAL. We have frequently alluded to this famous trial, in Kentucky. The friends of the notorious priest Duparq, at the head of whom was Mr. Elder, the President of Bardstown Romish college, brought a suit against the Rev. Mr. Rice, Presbyterian wisister in Bardstown, and editor of the Western Piotestant. They charged him with libel. Ile had published the universal talk of the State about this Duparq's licentious conduct, his improper connexion with nuns; the affair of the eloped nun, Milly M 'Pherson, who has told certain appalling tales about this priest, and other priests. She did this in assigning her reasons for eloping from the horrid den of her nunnery. No body doubted her word. All the - world cried out against the priests and nuns, and the nunneries ! But lo! 'suddenly the poor eloped nun Milly M'Pherson, disappeared! She was seen last going to the house of a Roman Catholic family. And to this day she cannot be found, dead or alive ! Every one saw that her disappearance was necessary to save the priests, and the nuns, and the nunnery . She did disappear just in time. And a certain priest high in office, in Bardstown college, uttered a mysterious saying. namely, " iliTheison will be fosth coming when we need her evidence The public called aloud , for tier appearance. Every body was beginning to execrate priests, and bishops, and nuns, and nun's cells, and all such dens ! Mr. Rice put these things into print. He told in print, what every body was speaking of. The president and priests of Bardstown, felt that they were suffering, and their cause sinking. The priest Duparq was sent off to France for a season, till the storm should blow over. Meantime the priests bring a law suit. They laid the damage at ten thousand dollars! The trial went on. Some extraordinary details were dragged to light. The trial is published by Mr. Rice. The jury gave a verdict of damages, one cent, and ro costs! The sum of one cent, is by jury of honourable men, deemed the amount of the value of Duparq's character. And the priests, and Mr. Elder in particular, have lamented most bitterly the day they had re. course to a jury by trial ! They would have had a better chance in an inquisition! While writhing under this calamity, and under the additional inflictions made on the them by Mr. Rice's book of Trial, the priests of Philadelphia are, by the Herald, calling on the Roman public to come to the rescue ! The Im plore the whole posse of the Roman subjects of the Pope, to come up with their subscriptions to aid Mr. B. J. Webb, of Bardstown, to come out with his version of the Trial, to counter act the fatal effects of this Auful Trial and this awful honk of Mr. Rice. We venture to give the Philadelphia and Bards town priests an advice. " Don't publish ! You will make the matter worse ! Just agree to produce poor Milly M'Pherson. Bring her from her dungeon, if she is alive. If she is dead, tell the public the whole history. Only produce Maly if you can. Be advised : bring poor Milly out of her cell, from Maryland, or Kentucky, or Ohio. Be sure to produce the eloped nun. This will settle Mr. Rice's career very soon ! Only produce her; you can " easily gag her, and crush her stories." THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD JACK TARS IN A FRENCH GAOL. When the depot was first established, distinction of rank or character was unknown ; all were confined together in the grand souter ain. Then, indeed, it deserved the name of the "Place of Tears," for, by wbat,l heard of it was a pandemonium. If the sailors, and those confined with them, had been tameable animals, and would have studied their own welfare, they might have been comfortable; but they were indomitable, being a terror to their guards, who dreaded coming in contact with them. If their liberty had depended upon overpowering the seventeen gendarmes and one hundred veterans, (which composed the garrison,) they would soon have liberated themselves. I shall here relate one of their feati, as it was generally reported, in order to elucidate their character. Among the prisoners, there was an Englishman detained, suspected of being a spy, bearing a colonel's commission in the Russian service. He was agreat favourite with the sailors; and, having committed some offence was being conducted to the cachet when they liberated him. The whole garrison was turned out; which the men observing, tan below, arming themselves, some with'billets of wood, and others with pieces of the guard-bed, which they tore up for the purpose, came up again and bade defiance to their guard, He that assumed the leadership said to the others, "Let us not be the attacking party; let us Wait till we see blood drawn from any of us; and then we will fall upon them, and murder the whole." The commandant and the general, seeing their attitude so imposing and their determination so visible, gave up the point; and the men returned to their usual obedience, which at the best was little more than a state of mutiny. The standing order was, that all light should be put out at eight o'clock ; but when there was any new arrival, any rejoicing-night, or any snipe (a cheap spirit distilled from potatoes) stirring, the order -became a dead letter. When it was first issued, the gendarmes would venture down to put them out; but often as they entered the seater ain, away flew hats and shoes at their lantern, and, when that was demolished, anything that could be laid hold of flew after them, which cased a hasty retreat. They met with no ()the? reception if ever they went down to suppress their rows. They were horrified at a regular stand-up fight ; and were anxious to separate the combatants, fearing they might kill each other. At length the gendarmes had such a dread of going among them, that they had to be accompanied by the veterans; anal Ifie.commandant, finding the inutility of interfering, told his men to leave them to themselves; and, if they chose to kill each other, they were at liberty to do so: for his pat t, he would listen to no more complaints, nor give the injured redress; and that, henceforward, they must govern themselves. They took him at his word; and, when thefts were committed, or anycrinie that was thought worthy of publicinquiry, a court-martial was held, and the accused brought before the accuser; when, if found guilty, he was sentenced to so many stripes, which were immediately inflicted, with such severity as would have surprised those who set their faces against corporeal punishment 'under any circumstance. Here were seamen flogging their fellow seamen; and for what reason ? Because they could devise no other punishment equally effective to keep each other's vices in somesort of check. After the punishment had been administered, the cat was given into the custody of the brigadier of the fort.— Ellison's Prison Scenes. CEDAR TREE.—The largest and oldest Cedar tree in this kingdom, we believe the county of Leicester can boast of. It is now growing in the park, at Quenby Hall, and from its thick ness and height, judges in such matters say that it is at least four hundred years old. Historical tradition hands it down to upwards of 300 years.— Leicester Herald. 'WONDERFUL IF TRUE.—The ex-member for Middlesex, in writing to one of his Radical compatt iota on the subject of some scheme that has miscarried, says:—" I have been at the expense of circulating a letter all ?vet. The the country, and as y et not a pe tition has appeared." intimation respecting the lack of petitions is credible enough, but that that patriotic gentleman should have " forked out" a single "Joey" to hare saved the nation, or his own'seat in parliament, exceeds all reasonable be lief. A BARBARIAN SHIELD.—It has been stated, that the corn , mender of the ship Strathisla, which vessel lately arrived alibis port from the Malay coast, brought out ,a shleld, which had been captured from the savages in Torres' Straits The shield is in the shape of a tortoise, and in it are set, in a state of preserva tion, the heads of a captain of a ship, which belonged to this port, and which was lost some time sipce, and seventeen of her crew and passengers. The heads bear all the scars of wounds which were inflicted on them. The captain's head is put in the place representing the head of the tortoise, and a boy's is at the tail, and either of the crew's on each side. A fac simile of the horrid shield, as drawn from the original, is in the possession of Meisrs. Sheldon & Co.—Bengal Herkaru. THE LLAMA The current number of the Foreign'Quarterly Review puts its seal to the following affecting particulars respecting the Llama, which it describes as authentic:—" The Llama is the only animal associated with man, and undebased by the contract. The Llama will not bear beating nor ill treatment. They go in troops, au Indian walking a long distance a head as guide. If tired they stop, and the Indian stops also. if the delay is great, the Indian becoming uneasy, towards sunset, after all sorts of precautions, resolves on supplicating the beasts to resume their journey. He stands about 50 or 60 paces off, in an attitude of humility, waves his hands coaxingly towards the Llamas, looks at them with tenderness, and at the same time in the softest tone, and, with a patience I never failed to admire, reiterates ic-ic-is-ie. If .the Llamas are disposed to continue their course, they follow the Indian in good order, at a regular pace and very fast, for their legs are extremely long; but when they are in ill humour, they do not even turn their heads towards the speaker —but remain quite motionless huddled together, standing or lying down, and gazing on heaven with looks so tender, so me lancholy, that we might imagine these singular animals had the consciousness of another life, of a happier existence. The straight neck, and its gentle majesty, of bearing, the long down of their always clean and glossy skin, their supple and timid motions, all give them an air at once noble and sensitive. It must be so, in fact ; for the Llama is the only creature employed by man that he dares not strike.. It it happens (which is very seldom) that an Indian wishes to obtain either by force or threats what the Llama will not willingly perform, the instant the animal finds itself affronted by word or gesture, he raises his head with dignity, and without attempting to escape ill treatment by flight (the Llama is never tied or fettered,) he lies down, turning his looks towards heaven. Large • tears flow freely from his beautiful eves,' sighs issue from his breast, and in half or three quarters of an hour at most he expires. Happy creatures, who so easily avoid sufferings by death! Happy creatures, who appear to have accepted life on condition of its being happy ! The respect shown these animals by the Peru vian Indians amounts absolutely to superstitious reverence. When the Indian loads them, two approach and caress the animal, biding his head that he may not see the burthen on his back. If he did, he would fall down and die. It is the same in unloading. If the burthen exceeds a certain weight, the animal throws itself down and dies. The Indians of the Cor dilleras alone possess enough patience and gentleness to manage the Llama. It is doubtless from this extraordinary companion that he has learned to die when overtasked." ippi ag Enteitigenct. TUESDAY, STAY 29.—Wind S. Fair.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 29. During the past week the imports of Grain, Flour and Meal from Ireland and Coastways have again been to a moderate ktent, in some degree owing to easterly winds, perhaps still more so to the high prices prevalent in Ireland ; the weather has been such for the last eight days, that the appearance of the crops of Grass and Grain has pro gressed very little in improvement, and repot ts from many farmers in this district, and in other influential counties to the southward, are far from favourable as to the crops of Wheat, which are said to be very thin, by having lost roof, to an extent which it is to be hoped will prove exaggerated, in ,consequence of which, and of very moderate intportationS for several weeks, unequal to our weekly consumption, and our stocks thus diminishing, inure confidence has been generally shown by the holders of good Grain, and an advance of 3d to 4d per 701 b on Wheat, is to Is 6d per respective sack on Flour and Oatmeal, id to Id per 451 b on Oats, is per qr on Malt, Barley, Beans, and Pease has been steadily demanded, and in many instances obtained, though to a very limited extent, here, and in all the markets of this district and Yorkshire. The only alteration in the duties on Grain from Foreign ports this week is a reduction of Is 6(1 per qr. on Oats and Beans ; the imports of Grain from Foreign ports here are likely to increase for some weeks to come, and since our last, a very active de mand has occurred for Wheat of the finest fresh qualities, end the chief part of the recent imports has changed hands, from the vessels at an increase on last quotations of 6d to 10d per 701 b ; the finest fresh blooming red Pomerane.a-n and high mixed Danzig reaching 6s 6d to 7s, fine sweet. old imports 5s 6d to 63 3d, and inferior (nominally) 4s 6d to 5s 6d per 70Ih, in the confident expectation of having much lower duties to pay, which will assuredly occur, if fair returns be made, and if the payment of duties be not commenced, as last year, too soon ; sales of 'Flour, Barley, Oats, Beans, and Pease in bond have also been made for expert at small improvement. At this day's market the ad vance above noticed was steadily demanded for every article in the Corn trade ; some very superior red Wheat in bond reached 7s 3.1 per 701bs, but the millers and dealers bought very sparingly and timidly for immediate wants, and transactions were only to a very limited extent; sufficient, however, to establish the increased quotations below.
