Bloomsbury was again destined to shine conspicuous. The same gentleman who has on several occasions freely sup ported him laid, with considerable readiness, 61 to 1 in scores, then 70 to 10 twice over, and afterwards said " done" to 80 to 10 ; however, his dosing offer, " to a sum," was 7to 1. This price would probably have been pencilled down when the room broke up, as a party came forward and accepted 70 to 20 four times over on Bloomsbury and Gallipot; and, by way of cover, one of the gentlemen seemed anxious to get 7 to 1 on Bloomsbury, but his stauuch opponent had departed. 11 to 1, to a little money, was laid against Gallipot ; and, in several instances, 100 to 7 was offered against Retriever—it was wanted to 6. No one seemed disposed to make a fourth favourite. In vain, indeed, did one of the leading turf gen tlemen offer 100 to 6 to find out the fourth favourite. 20 to 1 was laid against the Young-un ; 100 to 6 offered against Tuly ; 100 to 4 against Sir George (takers at 30) ; 100 to 4 against Ernest the First (takers at 30) ; 100 to 3 against the Jovial Bachelor (offered freely) ; 6to 4 offered on Blooms bury v. Gallipot. Even money was laid that Bloomsbury runs, and even that he wins. THE DERBY.-20 to 1 appeared much wanted, to execute a commission, on Eringo, 19 to 1 seemed the top offer ; the same gentleman wanted 25 to 1 scores on the Knight of the Whistle ' • 20 to 1 was offered against each ; he accepted 600 to 20 on Rosalie ; 15 to 1 in fifties was offered against all the fillies ; and, in a very good quarter, 4 to 1, to a sum, v. " Scott's lot ;" 400 to 10 was offered at the close v. Brother to Tom, and 200 to 3 against Gammon Box. We did not hear Paliemon and some others named, nor was the Oaks touched upon. Tine ST. LEGER.-4 to 1 would have been taken that Scott wins. TATTERSALL'S 1 , MONDAY The Derby betting received an impulse from the appear ance of a city speculator with several important commissions, and was sustained with unusual spirit until half past six o'clock. Little was done on the principal favourites, but the offers on the field rose high enough to show a marked decline in Paltemon, who had but a slight call of Coronation. Eringo was backed for a trifle at a falling price, and, at the outside, was not more than a couple of points in advance of Cameleon, whose party would have taken the same odds that were offered against Ralph. The weight of the business fell upon the Rosalie colt, Knight of the Whistle, and the Duke of Wellington ; 23 and 26 to 1 having been taken to £4OO or £5OO about the first, 26 to 1 three or four times about the second, and 1,000 to 30, and 3,000 to 100 about " the Duke." Prince. Caradoc was backed at 24 to 1, and improved even on that quotation before the close, but no change was observable in Marshal Soult. The odds quoted below against Sir Hans were taken twice, and those against Ermengardis several times, while Knightsbridge, so fashion able an outsider a few dayi ago, dropped successively to 2,000 to 25, 2,000 to 20, and 2,000 to 15 ! The general odds at the close were as follows : THE DERBY. 13 to 3 against Scott's lot 20 to 1 „ All the mares (t) 18 to 1 „ Mr. Greville's Palmmon (t) 18 to 1 „ Mr. Rawlinsou's Coronation 21 to I „ Mr. Thornhill's Eringo (t) 22 to 1 „ Mr. Mostyn's Prince Caradoc 25 to 1 „ Lord Westminster's Marshal Soult (t) 25 to 1 „ Lord Chesterfield's Knight of the Whistle 25 to 1 , Lord Albemarle's Ralph 26 to 1 „' Lord Bruce's Rosalie colt (t) 30 to 1 „ Col.

STATE OF IRELAND ATTEMPT TO MURDER A CLERGYMAN As fruit from the order recently issued to the constabulary of the King's County, it is our painful duty to record an attempt to assassinate a most amiable clergyman, an active and impartial magistrate, the Rev. G. L. Gresson, who was fired at on his way home from Clara to Kilbeggan, on Sun day night last, between eight and nine o'clock. The rev. gentleman was sitting in a gig with his servant, driving at a distance of about a mile from his residence, when a shot was fired from behind, which made a riddle of the servant's hat. A few grains of large shot struck Mr. Gresson in the neck, and some grains lodged in the skin of the servant's head. There is no reason to suppose that religion or polities was the cause of the attempt. The rev. gentleman was lately most active in discovering and bringing to justice some per sons who attacked a process-server employed to deliver a writ at the suit of Lewis and Co., the topographers, to a Mr. Judge, of that neighbourhood ; and we incline to think that revenge prompted the miscreants to attempt the horrid deed.—Evening Packet of Tuesday. ATTEMPTED MURDER OF THE REV. SKELTON GRESSON "Clara, King's County, Monday. " SIR,—You will be shocked to hear of a desperate at tempt to murder the Rev. Skelton Gresson, J.P., which took place on Sunday last. " Scarcely had the public mind recovered its composure after the dreadful attempt to murder Mr. Biddulph, J.P., when it is again excited to frenzy by the demoniac attempt on Mr. Gresson's life. " He is a gentleman universally respected and beloved — the kindest and most humane of men—gives a great deal of employment to the poor out of means which he derives from his private fortune, having no land in this part of the coun try out of the management of which feuds or animosities might arise, except the few acres of glebe land which have always been in his own hands, and cultivated by himself. " He was returning to his own house from the town of Clara, on Sunday, at eight o'clock in the evening, driven by his servant in a gig, when he was fired at from behind a wall by some person or persons unknown. The horse bolted on seeing the flash of fire-arms, by which his life was spared : the duck-shot or swan-drops having riddled his hat, and that of his Protestant servant also, without serious injury to either, except contusions : no shot having entered the reverend gen tleman's head, though some are being extracted from the servant's. How narrow the escape was may be judged from the fact, that a large quantity of the shot was retained in silk pocket-handkerchiefs which they had in their hats, and which probably saved their lives. " No man's life is safe in this county ; the only question asked is, whose turn will come next? Mr. Browne, the sti pendiary, was early on the spot ; for of course it was reported to him, whilst the local magistrates might find it out as they might. Of course a government reward will be offered, and of course, the people will laugh at it; and of course the go vernment will boast of the tranquillity of Ireland, and take no alarm from the firing these minute-guns of warning to show the destruction that is contemplated. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " AN INHABITANT OF CLARA. ,, EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM TIILLAMORE " This county is again convulsed to its centre, by an at tempt to murder the Rev. Skelton Gresson, a gentleman uni versally respected. About eight o'clock on Sunday, he was going home in his gig from Clara, about seven miles from this, when he was fired at from behind some trees on the road-side. Both his servant and himself were hit, but not dangerously wounded. In September last the life of Mr. Biddulph, J.P., was attempted, and himself wounded, five miles from this, towards Frankford. In December, James Henessy was savagely assaulted at Mucklow, three miles off —since dead. In January, this year, a conspiracy to mur der Mr. Fiunamore, near Clara, was discovered; and a man named Hussey was attacked, near Clara, now lying without hope of recovery, from the effect of blows from a spade, &c. There are several other less fearful crimes, but of an aggra vate(' character, where death has not yet ensued ; and this is the moment that government, in cold insulting mockery of the misery and despair of the inhabitants of this county, ' order the police, by night or day, to go singly without arms, excepting their corstable's staff! !' " Lord Charleville is leaving us in disgust—Mr. Gresson is his chaplain, and a constant resident in the castle. Who can blame him ? If I had money I would go too." MR. LETHBRIDGE (From the Dublin Evening Packet.) " Clatworthy, Feb. Ist, 1841 TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING PACKET. " SlR,—Nothing that I can say will give additional weight to those severe remarks which, in your paper of the 28th ult., you have with so much justice and truth made on Mr. Leth bridge's letter. " On such a letter comment from me will be superfluous; and I shall content myself with reiterating my most solemn affirmation, that on no occasion, for the last 10 or 12 years, not even on the 18th of July, 1839, have I had any private conversation with Mr. Lethbridge. " The matter now rests on the credit due to the testimony of the conflicting parties, which can only be judged of by the habits and character of each individual ' • and to this test I cheerfully and with entire confidence submit my case. " I have now the grateful task of returning you my best acknowledgments for your kind and ready insertion of my letters, as well as for drawing the attention of the public to them in so conspicuous a manner;' and beg to remain, " Your most obedient, " W. BERNARD." It is impossible—totally impossible—to describe our feel ings on rising from a perusal of the foregoing letter. We use the word rising in its literal sense, for sit quiet we could not after reading such a damning proof of the insanity, or worse, of Mr. Lethbridge, whose conduct in reference to the Rev. Mr. Bernard, is without a parallel. Infamous we would call it, if we were convinced that the gentleman was of sound mind ; but we cannot bring ourselves to believe that any sane person would do as Mr. Lethbridge his done in this matter. The language attributed to Mr. Bernard must be the coinage of a disordered brain, as must also be the diary which the would-be Joint of O'Connell's Tail speaks about. Could any man in his sober senses record a private conversation for the purpose of proclaiming it to the world? Forbid it honour. . _ If we believed Mr. Lethbridge's story we should pronounce him the most consummate scoundrel that ever drew breath. But we do not belive it, and therefore pronounce the man to be mad, stark mad. And this is the kind ocperson that the Anti-Stanleyites called upon to prop up their villanous league, for the perpetuation of fraud and perjury in this be nighted country, in order to minister to the blighting—the thrice blighted—thrice infected sway of the monster, Daniel O'Connell. A. worthy prop of such a cause. But we must have done with Mr. Lethbridge for the present, and we hope for ever. He must never again obtrude upon the public.

S7R ROBERT PEEL'S ADDRESS AT TAMWORTH TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES Sir,—There are two schools of philosophy flourishing at this day, as at others, neither of these accepting Christian principles as the guide of life, yet both of them unhappily patronised by persons whom it would be the worst and most cruel uncharitableness to suspect of unbelief. Mr. Bentham is the master of the one ; and Sir Robert Peel is a disciple of the other. Mr. Bentham's system has nothing ideal about it ; he is a stern realist, and he limits his realism to things which he can see, hear, taste, touch, and handle. He does not acknowledge the existence of anything which he cannot ascertain for himself. Exist it may nevertheless, but, till it make itself felt, to him At exists not; till it comes down to him, and he is very short-sighted, it is not recognised by him as having a coexistence with himself, any more than the Em peror of China by the European family of kings. With him a being out of. sight is a being out of mind ' • nay, he allows not the claims of traces or glimpse s t o regar d, but to know a little and not much is to know nothing at all. With him to speak truth is to speak with a meaning •, and to imagine, to guess, to doubt, or to falter, is much the same as to lie. What opinion will such an iron thinker entertain of Cicero's " glory," or Lord Brougham's " truth," and Sir Robert's " scientific consolation s ," and all those airy nothings which are my proper subject of remark, and which I have in view, when by way of contrast I make mention of the philosophy of Bentham ? And yet the doctrine of the three eminent orators whom I have ventured to criticise has in it much that is far nobler than Benthamism, their misfortune being, not that they look for an excellence above the beaten path of life, but that whereas Christianity has told us what that excellence is, Cicero lived before it was given, and Lord Brougham and Sir Robert Peel prefer his involuntary error to their own inherited truth. Surely, there is something unearthly and superhuman in spite of Bentham ; but it is not glory, or knowledge, or any abstract idea of virtue, but great and good tidings which need not here be particularly mentioned, and the pity is, that these Christian statesman cannot be content with what is divine without hankering after what was hea then. Now, independent of all other considerations, the great difference, in a practical light, between the objects of Chris tianity and of heathen belief, is this—that glory, science, knowledge, and whatever other fine names we use, never healed a wounded heart, nor changed a sinful one ; but Christ's word is with power. The ideas which Christianity brings before us are in themselves full of influence, and they are endowed with a supernatural gift over and above, in order to meet the special exigencies of our nature. Knowledge is not " power, nor is glory " the first and only fair " • but " grace," or " the word," by whichever name we call it, has been from the first a quickening, renovating, organizing principle. It has new-created the individual, and diffused and knit him into a social body, composed of members each similarly created. It has cleansed man of his moral diseases, raised him to hope and energy, given him to propagate a brotherhood among his fellow-men, to form a large family or rather kingdom of saints all over the earth, and with won derful vigour prolonged its original impulse down to this day. Each one of us has lit his lamp from his neighbour, or received it from his fathers, and the lights thus kindled are to-day as strong and as clear as if 1,800 years had not passed since the original of the sacred flame. What has glory or knowledge done like this? Can it raise the dead ? can it create a polity ? can it do more than testify man's need and typify God's remedy ? And yet, in spite of all this, when we have an -instrument given us, capable of changing the heart, great orators and statesmen are busy, forsooth, with their heathen charms and nostrums, their sedatives, correctives, or restoratives ; as preposterously as if we were to build our men of war, or con duct our iron works on the principles approved in Cicero's day. The utmost that Lord Brougham seems to propose to himself in the education of the mind, is to keep out bad ideas by good—a great object, doubtless, but not so great in conception, as is the destVuction of the appetency for bad in Christian fact. " Every one," he says in his Discourse upon the Objects and advantages of Science, " is amused with reading a story, a romance may please some, and a fairy tale may entertain others ; but no benefit is derived from this source ; the imagination is gratified. Accidents, adventures, anecdotes, crimes, and a variety of other things amuse us, independent of the information respecting public affairs, in which we feel interested as citizens of the state, or as mem- bers of a particular body. Most persons who take delight in reading tales of ghosts, which they know to be false, and feel all the while to be silly in the extreme, are merely gratified, or rather occupied with the strong emotions.of horror excited by the momentary belief, for it can only last an instant. Such reading is a degrading waste of precious time, and has even had effect on the feelings and the judgment. But true stories of horrid crimes, as murders, and pitiable misfortunes —as shipwrecks, are not much more instructive. It may be better to read these than to sit yawning and idle, much bet ter than to sit drinking or gaming, which, when carried to the last excess, are crimes in themselves, and the fruitful parents of many more. But this is nearly as much as can be said of such vain and unprofitable reading. If it can be a pleasure to gratify curiosity, to know what we were ig norant of, to have our feelings of wonder called forth, how pure a delight of thjs very kind does natural science hold out to its students ?.... Akin to this pleasure of contemplating new and extraordinary truths is the gratification of a more learned curiostiy, by tracing resemblances and relations be tween things which to common apprehension seem widely different." And in the same way Sir Robert tells us of a devout curiosity. In all cases curiosity is the means, diver sion of mind the highest end ; and though of course I will not assert that Lord Brougham, and certainly not that Sir Robert Peel, denies any higher kind of morality, yet when he rises above Benthamism, in which be often indulges, into what may be called Broughamism proper, he commonly grasps at nothing more real and substantial than these Cice ronian ethics. In morals, as in physics, the spring cannot rise higher than Christianity raises men from earth, for it comes its source from Heaven ; but human morality creeps, struts, or frets upon the earth's level, without wings to rise. The Know ledge School does not contemplate raising man above him self; it merely aims at disposing of his existing powers and tastes, as is most convenient or practicable under circum stances. It finds him, like the victims of the French Tyrant, doubled up in a cage in which he can neither lie, stand, sit, nor kneel, and its highest desire is to find an attitude in which his unrest may be least. Or it finds him, like some musical instrument, of great power and compass, but imperfect ; from its very structure some keys must ever be out of tune, and the object, when ambition is highest, is to throw the fault of its nature where least it will be observed. It leaves man where it found him —man, and not an angel—a sinner, not a saint ; but it tries to make him look as much like what he is not as ever it can. The poor indulge in low pleasures ; they use bad language, swear loudly and profanely, laugh at coarse jests, and are rude and boorish. Sir Robert would open on them a wider range of thought and more intellectual objects, by teaching them - science ;but what warrant will be given us that, if his object could be achieved, what they would gain in decency they would not lose in natural humility and awe ? If so, he has exchanged a gross fault for a more subtle one. " Temperance topics" stop drinking; let us suppose it ; but will much be gained, if those who give up spirits take to opium ? Naturam expellas lured, tamen usque recurret, is a heathen truth, though a Christian fable; and universities and libraries which recur to heathenism may reclaim it from the heathen for their motto. Nay, every where, so far as human nature remains hardly or partially Christianized, the heathen law remains in force ; and is felt in a measure even in the most religious places and societies. Even there, where Christianity has power, the venom of the old Adam is not subdued. Those who have to do with our colleges give us their experience, that in the case of the young committed to their care, external discipline can but change the fashionable sin, but cannot allay the principle of sinning. Stop cigars, they will take to drinking parties ; stop drinking, they gamble ; stop gambling, and a worse libense follows. You do not get rid of vice by human expe dients ; you can but use them according to circumstances, and in their place. You must go to a higher source for renovation of heart and will. You do but play a sort of " hunt the slipper" with the sin of our nature till you go to Christianity. I say, you must use human method in this place, and there they are useful ; but they are worse than useless out of their place. I have no fanatical wish to deny to any subject of thought or method of reason a place altogether, if it chooses to claim it, in the cultivation of the mind. Dr. Bentham may despise verse making, or Mr. Dugald Stewart logic, but the great and true maxim is to sacrifice none—to combine, and therefore to adjust all. All cannot be first, and there fore to adjust all. All cannot be first, and therefore each has its place, and the problem is to find it. It is at least not a lighter fault to make what is secondary first than to leave it out altogether. Here then it is that the Knowledge Society, Gower-street College, Tamworth Reading-room, Sir Robert. Peel, and Lord Brougham, are all so deplorably mistaken. Christianity, and nothing short of it, must be made the ele ment and principle of all education. Where it has been laid as the first stone, and acknowledged as the governing spirit, it will take up into itself, assimilate, and give a character to literature and science. Where revealed truth has given the aim and direction to knowledge, knowledge of all kinds will minister to revealed truth. The evidences of religion, natu ral theology, metaphysics,— or,. again, poetry, history, and the classics,—or physics and mathematics, may be grafted into the mind of a Christian, and give and take from the grafting. But if in education we begin with nature before grace, with evidences before faith, with science before con science, with poetry before practice, we shall be doing much the same as if we were to indulge the passions and turn a deaf ear to the reason. In each case we misplace what in its place is a divine gift. If we attempt to effect a moral improvement by means of poetry, we shall but mature into a mawkish, frivolous, and fastidious sentimentalism—if by means of ar gument, into a dry unamiable longheadedness—if by good so ciety, into a polished outside, with hollowness within, in which vice had lost its grossness, and perhaps increased its malignity—if by experimental science, into an uppish super cilious temper, much inclined to scepticism. But reverse the order of things ; put faith first and knowledge second ; let the university minister to the church, and then classical poetry becomes the type of gospel truth, and physical science a comment on Genesis or Job, and Aristotle changes into "Butler, and Arcesilas into Berkeley; Far from recognising this principle the teachers of the knowledge school would educate from natural theology up to christianity, and would amend the heart through literature and philosophy. Lord Brougham gives out that " hence forth nothing shall prevail over us to praise or to blame any one for" his belief, which he can no more change than he can the hue of his skin or the height of his stature." And Sir Robert, whose profession and life give the lie to his phi- losophy, founds a library into which "nu works of contro versial divinity shall enter," that is, no doctrinal works at all; and he tells us that "an increased sagacity will make men not merely believe in the cold doctrines of natural re- ligion, but that it will so prepare and temper the spirit and understanding that they will be better qualified to compre hend the great scheme of human redemption," And again, Lord Brougham considers that " the pleasures of science tend not only to make our lives more agreeable but better;" and Sir Robert responds, that " he entertains the hope that there will be the means afforded of useful occupation and rational recreation ; that' men will prefer the pleasures of knowledge above the indulgence of sensual appetite, and that there is a prospect of contributing to the intellectual and moral improvement of the neighbourhood." Can the 19th century produce no more robust and creative philosophy than this ? ' CATHOLICUS.

The building has undergone a complete re pair and alterations necessary to the observance of the forms and ceremonies of the Church. The sittings, which are cal culated to afford accommodation for upwards of 700 persons, are mostly free, the opening of the chapel being principally for the benefit of the poorer classes in this crowded neigh bourhood. The want of church accommodation in this densely populated district has been long severely felt, as is fully evinced by the crowded state of the new churches which have been lately opened, and which are filled every Sunday with regular and attentive congregations.

SUSPECTED MURDER, NEAR RUTHIN.—It is with a feel ing of concern that I transmit to you the following afflicting account :—About seven o'clock on Saturday night the 30th ult., a person knocked at the door of an under gamekeeper, employed by Edward Lloyd, Esq., of Rhagatt, Merioneth shire, but residing in a lonely house situate on the mountain side of the south extremity of the Vale of Clwyd, near Ruthin —this person refused to go into the keeper's house, but kept at a distance from the door, and pretended to be in a great hurry to . be off, at the same time telling the keeper there were poachers in a certain cover not a very great distance off, be longing to Mr. Lloyd, destroying his master's game, and ad vising him to proceed there immediately in pursuit of them, which the keeper unsuspectingly did, but, alas ! he never re turned to his own home alive. Early on Monday morning, the Ist instant, a number of the county constabulary force and others, were on the alert, making diligent search in every direction after the missing man, but not the least intelligence could any of them gain respecting him, until late on Friday evening last, when a large pool of water in the neighbourhood was dragged not without great difficulty, on account of the density and thickness of the frost on its surface, where the body was found and immediately conveyed to Mr. Owens's, of Tavern Dowyrch, preparatory to a judicial inquiry being held. It is understood that the coroner of the county is making every preparation to commence holding an inquest on the body of the deceased, which takes place on Monday morning next, the Bth instant,' at the above place. An in dividual of a very suspicious character, living near to the deceased, was taken up and committed to Ruthin gaol for another serious offence, mysteriously discovered to have been perpetrated by him, just at the time of the present in vestigation being pursued. I refrain from saying any more on this subject at present, nor until after the coroner's jury shall have delivered their, verdict, when a n'iore authentic account shall be transmitted.—Correspondent of the Cheater Courant. APPREHENSION OF TWO HIGHWAYMEN AT CHESTER FIELD.—On Wednesday morning, being the day of Chester field fair, head constable Cotterill, having received informa tion, was on the alert, and succeeded in capturing two of the principals in a serious highway robbery. It appears that two farmers, Mr. W. Mann, of Wymondhana, and Mr. W. Harrison, of Garthorpe, were returning from Melton Mow bray fair, on the night of Tuesday week, and, when about a mile out of Melton, they were attacked by five footpads, and robbed—one of £llO, or thereabouts, and a gold watch, and the other of about £6O. A person, who had seen five men enter a public-house immediately after the robbery was com mitted, came forward ; and from circumstances that trans pired, pursuit was made after two of the rascals to Chester field, when they were identified and apprehended, one of them having a considerable sum of money on him and a silver watch. It is supposed that he procured the latter in exchange for the gold watch.—Chesterfield Gazette. DARING BURGLARY AT NESTON, NEAR CHESTER.— On Saturday morning last, a daring burglary was committed at Newton, near thts city, in the house of the Misses Cox, two maiden ladies, who reside upon their property. The only inmates of the house at the time of the burglary besides the Misses Cox, were two female servants, and the particu lars so far as we have been able to collect them are as follow. It appeared that the ladies and the domestics retired to rest on the evening of Friday, after having as usual made every thing secure. About two o'clock in the morning an entrance was effected into the house by three men, one of whom is described as being very powerful and athletic, and about six feet high, by forcing a large iron stauncheon out of the back kitchen window. The doors of the different compartments of the house were then opened, but as no money was likely to be found below, two of the men proceeded to the bed-room of the Misses Cox, while the third was stationed at the gate, to give an alarm jn case of discovery. The ladies were awoke directly on the villains presenting themselves in their room, and one of them was so much alarmed as to fall into a fainting fit as soon as they entered it. One of the men carried a dark lantern, and the other had a pistol, and presenting it at Miss Cox, he demanded her money. Miss Cox then jumped out of bed, and struck at the fellow who held the pistol towards her. A struggle ensued, and the lady actually succeeded in thrusting the fellow out of the room, and his back falling against the balluster of the stairs, a portion of it was broken off. Miss Cox. however, ulti mately became exhausted, and was forced back into the room ; and the servants, who had heard the noise occasioned by the scuffle, now entered. One of them immediately cried out, " For God's sake don't murder the ladies." We should, however, here state, that the Miss Cox who had so cou rageously struggled with the burglar, was so severely beaten with the pistol on her arms, as to be incapable of further re sistance. It would appear that she now consented to hold a parley with the men, to save her life, if possible, by the sacrifice of her property. One of the female servants had now left the house, and succeeded in reaching safely a cottage occu pied by Mr. Frith, with no other garment on than her chemise ; but the other, who had also gone down stairs to look out for assistance, was - seized by the fellow who was stationed to watch, and brought back into the room to her mistress, after having been told what would be the consequence if she made any noise or gave an alarm. Miss Cox was now on the point of giving a purse, containing a considerable amount in gold, to the men, as the condition on which their lives were to be spared ; but just at this crisis, the attention of the burglars in the room was drawn to voices outside of the house, which fortunately proved to be the servant girl returning with Mr. Frith—the latter person having immediately consented to ac company her home, on being informed of the perilous situa tion in which the Misses Cox were placed. The men hear ing this, hastily rushed down stairs, and were met by Mr. Frith at the gate, who demanded who they were, and what they wanted. No reply was made, but one of them presented a pistol at Mr. Frith, and snapped it. Providentially, how ever, it missed fire, and the men then went forward in the direction of Flookersbrook. In the course of a few minutes afterwards, the report of two pistols was distinctly heard, from which fact the presumption strongly arises, that the pistol snapped at Mr. Frith was loaded. SYDNEY.—MURDER BY THE BLACKS.-1H June Mr. Sta pleton and seven men were detached from Mr. Dixton's party, for the purpose of surveying' the land from Limestone to Richmond, southward to Moreton Bay ; one day, as Mr. Stapleton, with the cook and one of the party, who was sick, were in the tent, Mr. Stapleton being in the act of pricking off his work, they were suddenly attacked by a large party of blacks, who appeared to be aware that they had not much ammunition. Mr. Stapleton and the cook were murdered and partially roasted, and the sick man severely wounded and left for dead. Next day the blacks returned, and finding he was not dead, gave him something to eat, and told him one of the white men would not burn. When the blacks left he crawled away, and was met next day by a party headed by Lieutenant Gorman, seven miles from the spot where the at tack took place, the mangled remains of Mr. Stapleton and the other unfortunate victim found and buried, and five of the blacks concerned in the murder have been captured. The survivor in this horrible tragedy is insane, owing to the fright and ill-usage be received, and is likely to remain an idiot all the days of his life. There does not appear to have been the slightest provocaticn for this cruel and cold-blooded deed. How long shall the people of New South Wales have to en dure such atrocious and bloody outrages by these fiend-like wretches—besides paying for protectors for them, and having no protection ourselves from their inhuman barbarity. — Australian, Aug. 25. An inquest of a somewhat extraordinary nature was held at Barton on Friday last, by Mr. Marris, coroner. In a garden occupied by Mr. Hedges, the ground was observed to have sunk, giving rise to the suspicion that there Was an old and ill-protected well underneath. Mr. Hedges accordingly re moved the soil carefully from the spot, and discovered to his dismay, not a well, but a coffin rudely constructed of window shutters, at about eighteen inches below the surface, contain. ing the mouldering remains of what appeared to have been a young female. On the inquest the mystery was speedily and satisfactorily solved by the frank and voluntary confession of Mr. Cuckson, who about ten years ago occupied the premises, and who was guard of the Express coach trom Hull to Lon don. At the time above referred to great excitement pre vailed on account of the frequency of body snatching. Cuck son well knew the prevalence of the crime, and declared that he seldom went up without dead as well as living passengers ; and further, knowing that two notorious resurrectionists were actually in the town at the time of his daughter's death, he hit upon the expedient of burying her in his own garden, and having a mock procession to church ! He afterwards was satisfied that the grave in the churchyard had been attempted, fully justifying his somewhat unusual procedure. The coroner ordered the sham grave in the churchyard to be opened, and no appearance of a skeleton was to be found, fully corrobo rating Cuckson's statement. The mouldering remains were deposited in " consecrated ground" after all.—Stamford Mercury. STRANGE IF TRUE. -A CHILD BUT NO FATHER. —We had long since considered the infamous doctrines of Johanna Southcote to have become extinct, except in the demented opinions of a few brainless followers ; perhaps the following incident, connected rather with the operation of the new poor law than with any religious fanaticism, may throw some light on the subject :—Very recently the village doctor of Honley was called on to attend a young woman, who, with her mo ther, resided not fifty miles from the workhouse. Esculapius adopted the opinion from the very natural appearance of his patient that she was enciente. This both mother and daugh ter stoutly opposed, considering the illness to proceed from a very different cause ; in fine, Dr. Galen yielded his opinion to their's, and leeches and blisters were applied to the protu berance, but no diminuition of the prominence ensued. But lo ! in a few days the young Johanna produced a living proof of the correctness of the doctor's judgment, to the astonish ment of both mother and daughter ; the latter positively in sisting that the little unwelcome visitor had no father ! ! Oh, the blessings of the new poor law, which drags poor ratesfrom, instead of applying them to, the poor, in order that the placemen and understrappers may revel in luxury, .84c. The poor-h ouses under the ne w system are, it wou ld seem, little better than brothels ; and we learn that in the above case it would not be quite impossible to state who the putative father is, provided a certain functionary under the new poor law would guarantee that no action for libel should ensue, it being pretty well known that lawyers hold, " that the greater the truth the greater the libel."—Leeds Intelli gencer. • htpptitg lirttellifitiirt, ._.~..~= TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9.—Wind S.E. fresh.

BURNING OF CAMBERWELL OLD CHURCH.—III the early portion of Wednesday afternoon, the surveyor of the Atlas Fire Insurance Company, in which the church is in sured to the amount of £lOOO, inspected the ruins, in com pany with several gentlemen. From the inquiries they made, it appeared that the furnace which heated the interior of the church was situate under the north entrance to the church, and the chimney or flue extended to the flooring in the centre of the middle aisle, and thence through the south side of the organ loft, to the top of the tower. The account given by the sexton as to the mode of lighting the furnace fire is, that it was lit at an early hour on Sunday morning, and was burn ing till about eight o'clock in the evening ; and at no portion of the day was the furnace overcharged. The circumstances adduced by Mr. Searle, the clerk, and the sexton, that at the time of shutting up the church after evening service there were no signs of fire, and when the alarm was given by the police, the organ loft was the only part that was in flames, induced the above-named gentlemen to examine the base ment of the tower, which they did, and the result was, that they discovered the origin and cause of the fire. It seems that the end of one of the principal beams that supported the organ loft has projected several inches into the opening or centre of the flue. Soot had from time to time collected on it, and it is supposed that on the lighting of the furnace fire on Sunday morning, the soot must have ignited and set fire to the beam, which smouldered until it came to the wainscotting of the organ loft, when it burst into flam es . There can be no doubt but that this is the precise cause, for the aperture in which the beam projected is visible in the base of the tower, and the brickwork around the flue proves its having been exposed to an intense heat ; and also from the fact that the organist and other persons who were in the organ loft on Sunday evening, experienced a great heat dur ing the service, but at the time imagined it to come from warming regulators in the body of the church. The bells, eight in number, are wholly destroyed. It was suspected that they fell entire, but it appears from the remnants dug out of the ruins on Wednesday that they melted before they fell. The portion found is fused into lumps. The spacious vaults underneath the church have escaped injury, and the coffins therein are perfectly safe. Late on Monday evening the pillars in the interior of the church that supported the roof were pulled down to prevent accidents happening, and on Wednesday men were employed shoring up the walls. A novel circumstance took place on Monday morning. A couple were married on the ruins, and two funerals took place in the ground adjoining. Alaritets. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEB. 11. We continue in the same dull and inanimate state as noticed on Monday last, the sales yesterday were 2500, and to-day about 3000 bales, at prices ranging generally an id lower in American from (lid to lid, more particularly in Upland Cotton. Nothing has been done in Surat Cotton, as buyers seem disposed to wait the result of the public sale to-morrow, which is reported to go off briskly, and at lower prices. We may remark that the anticipated intelligence by the overland mail of January, caused the market to advance a full id It,. The last unsatisfactory accounts have caused a com plete stagnation, and many seem to thing that it will he followed by a gradually declining market, caused by want of animation and demand. SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, FEB. 10 Owing to the wind having been very unfavourable for arrivals from Ireland, an unusually small number of cattle were at market, and in consequence Beef was id per lb dearer. Of Sheep the show was fair, and prices unchanged. Every thing sold off. Best Beef 7d to Bd, inferior 5(1 to Gid; best Mutton 7d to 8d; Ewes and in ferior sid to Od. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, FEBRUARY 9. (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 6 Son.) Since Tuesday last the imports of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal from Ireland, Coastways and from Foreign ports have been very trivial, owing to a prevalence of easterly winds ; and the demand, though limited, being thus thrown on previous stocks in warehouses here, has given the holders a little more confidence, and Id to 2d per 70 lb advance on good middling qualities of Wheat, and fully our last quotations for every other article in the Corn trade, has been obtained, to a small extent. During the last eight or ten days we have had a recurrence of very intense frost, with only one day's slight covering of snow, which soon disappeared, and intercourse with the interior by water carriage is again interrupted. The duty on Wheat from foreign ports is reduced Is per qr; on Flour 73d per barrel ; and increased on Peas 2s is 6d per qr; on other Grain no alteration on Friday last. Some few sales have been effected of Flour in bond for export, at the quotations,—of Grain in bond the value is quoted almost nominally. At this day's market we had a very moderate attendance of town and country millers and dealers, who purchased very sparingly for immediate wants—of Wheat at about the advance above noted— of all other articles at about the prices of this day week. The frost continues with unabattd severity. WHEAT, S. d. S. d. INDIAN CORN, 19 , 4808. English Scotch 8 3 g 0 White 32 0 37 0 Irish 6 8 g 0 BEANS, per quarter. Bonded BARLEY, per qr.
