James Wright, incumbent. Warrington ; Broths This temperate discourse will commend itself to all en lightened members of our national church, as affording a clear but scriptural statement of the claims which that church possesses on the sympathies and support of all her faithful adherents. The words on which the sermon is founded are, " My house is the house of prayer;" and from these words Mr. Wright enlarges on the antiquity of the church, her apostolical character, and her protest against Rome; the character of her services, the conduct which becomes her members, and on several objections urged against her. As respects one feature in the cha racter of her services, we may make the following extract : " Is there a time when the doors of the church are thrown open for public worship, that the word of God is not read to the people ? May not the poor and the un learned hear, in her services, what God has to say to them? May not the word read tell with saving effect upon their hearts ? And may we not hope of many such worshippers who frequent her courts, that their faith standeth not in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God ?' In the Psalms, in the Lessons, in the Epistle and Gospel, those who assemble in the house of God, hear him teaching in his Holy Word. And ' for this honour done unto God in his Word,' saith an eminent prelate of our church, `which doubtless has brought down, and will continue to bring down, a blessing upon her from Him who has declared, "Them that honour me I will honour;" for this honour to God's Word, and for the provision made thereby to teach the people infallibly out of it the whole counsel of God, independently of the defects, and errors, and re serves which are incident to the human teaching that they receive, we ought, I am sure, to be thankful, if we had nothing else in her public services to rejoice in or to be thankful for.' " In reply to an objection frequently raised against the church, the following is worthy of observation : t doctrines-similar to the worst doc been lately taught by some of the clergy of the church. It is with unfeigned sorrow we ad mit the truth of this objection. Such doctrines have been broached, and though but partially, still to the perversion of a few enthusiastic spirits, to their wilful excision from " It is obje trines of ROC the church, and to their union with Rome. Admitting the full force of the objection, it is yet but just towards the church, to ask, if it be fair or reasonable to judge the church by the unsound and authoritatively-condemned statements of a mere fractional part of her ministers ? s They went out from us, but they were not of us.' Are we not to judge of the church, by her Articles, her Ho milies, her Formularies ? And if these, with one consent, condemn those dangerous opinions, then does the church condemn them. We never take the opinions of a few discontented and noisy individuals for the voice of the nation, neither should we take the condemned opinions of a few erratic divines for t 1 church has not chang hough a n men, out of a body of six Their prese continuanc ❑ds, seems for this agitation, w i looked 1 years, and through the records o ' A dream, when one awaketh.' she has been, thank God, from a and the ground of the truth.'

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANIMAL AND VEGETA BLE LlFE.—That animal life is a distinct substance, and not an accident or quality of the body to which it is at tached, an argument may be drawn from a comparison of it with vegetable life, in the manner in which both cense to exist. If a tree or plant be drawn out of the earth, or cut from its roots, it does not immediately shew any signs of decay. Its branches retain their elasticity, its leaves their verdure, and its circulation proceeds unchecked for some time after the mortal shock is given. As its juices are exhaled, its parts wither and gradually decay, till its vital powers are totally extinguished, not by any determi nate crisis, but by the continued process of death (if I may so express myself) attending them. The dissolution of animal life is sudden. Its powers often continue to the last ; and the instant of its departure is generally marked by a violent and convulsive effort, not unlike the last parting flame of a taper, to which it is often compared. This effect is sometimes produced when the body has re mained for a time in a torpid state, and apparently life less. It then revives for a moment, struggles, as if to break or to retain its hold, and is gone for ever, affording to the eye of the attentive observer a conviction, exceed- ing all argument, that some real substance united to the body was at that instant forcibly wrenched and disunited from U.—Fraser': Magazine, ruotely, b keeping tG, the most combnstib ther (if I n thrown among them, may , . _ firebrand, rashly o very distant period :plosion would spread must enkindle; and of which ti public and private misery wiuciy " What then shall we do in this mournful state of things.

DUBLIN, Monday Evening, Half-past Eight o'Clock. As I had anticipated, the proceedings at the " Concilia tion Hall" extended to au unusually late hour. The most important feature of the day was the adhesion of Mr. Smith O'Brien, M.P., for Limerick. to the Repeal Association in unqualified terms. The meeting at past six o'clock adjourned unt'l one o'clock to-morrow, the rent for the week was announced to be, as far as could be ascertained up to six o'clock, £2284; numerous communi cations containing remittances had arrived, the amount of which had not been ascertained at the hour of adjourn ment, and which will therefore be carried to next week's account. A government reporter was in attendance. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

Willmer and Smith, conveyed to Liverpool by express, exclusively from their London Agent, Mr. W. H. Smith, of 192, Strand, London, the Bombay Monthly Times, of the 26th of August. The dates brought by this mail are—Calcutta, 10th, Scinde, 19th, and Bombay, 26th of August. From China 26th of June only. The news from India is not of a remarkable kind. Tranquillity prevailed in the interior. An army of ob servation, was, it is said, to be formed on the Sutledge and another in the neighbourhood of Gualior ; both were to be ready in the month of October. The new Com mander-in-Chief, Sir Hugh Gough, would, it was stated, take the command of the former, and General Sir W. Nott of the latter. Lord Ellenborough,* whose presence in Calcutta had produced the best results there, was, it is reported, to come himself to the neighbourhood of Agra or Allahabad in October, in order to direct the settlement of the Gua lior Government. Scinde was tranquil and likely to continue so, unless it be disturbed by any measures ordered from London in consequence of the misrepresentations which some blind partisans sent to England from Bombay. Sir Charles Napier had thus fat regulated that conquest. The troops were healthy. _ _ _ _ Shere Mahommed had fled to the Beloochee mountains. from whence it was said he was contemplating an attack on some of the posts of the British troops. Ali Mahom med, a young man of talent, and a relative of the ex- Ameers, made an attempt to maintain his own territory against the usurpation of his uncle, Mourad Ali, who has contrived by various crooked arts to obtain the favour of the British and to aggrandize himself at the expense of all the other Ameers ; but Ali Mahommed has been routed by his uncle Mourad Ali, and he bas also fled to the mountains, where he has joined the partisans of Shere Mahommed. It is said that after the rainy season the various hill tribes bordering on the plains, now subject to the British and to Mourad Ali, will be induced to make inroads, and to try to plunder the settlers, but it does not seem expected that they will risk any battles for the ex pulsion of the British. General Simpson was coming round to Bombay in the Queen steamer in order to become second in command, and, perhaps, ;successor to Sir Charles Napier, whose health, it is said, requires removal to the sea coast. . _ . A most extraordinary discovery was effected in July last, at Bombay, of a confederacy for plundering boats, robbing ships, and smuggling goods. This gang had existed for at east a quarter of a century in the most po pulous part of that town. They are also supposed to be connected with the pirates and murderers who even now so frequently commit the greatest atrocities within almost the hail of the police and other authorities of that impor tant naval station. No discovery was ever made of the gang until one of the accomplices gave a clue which led to the seizure of their books, and to the development of the whole system, which was organized in the most perfect marine!. The police were on the traces of the maletactors, hot it was feared that no conviction would take place, as most of the police agents had been bribed by the gang, and they were throwing every obstacle in the way of hav ing any of their accomplices punished. An extraordinary court martial had been held at Poonah. Two officers, a colonel and a major, had a dispute ; the colonel soon afterwards offered to make up the , quarrel, but was told the wholeU affair tad been sent up n a complaint to the Government. The complaint was referred to a court of inquiry, which decided after having heard evidence that there were faults on both sides. The Colonel then sent in a demand for a court-martial on the Major, on the ground of his having wilfully made a false and unfounded statement. The Commander-in-Chief refused the demand and censured the application as out of place, as the decision of the court of inquiry was then under his consideration. The Colonel reiterated the demand but no notice was taken of it. Two months afterwards the colonel had the proceed ings, with his own, charges and letters, privately printed, and sent to his friends. The pamphlet was shown to the Major, who demanded a court martial, by which, after the examination of the same witnesses, he was declared honourably acquitted. This verdict, which was supposed to be contrary to the evidence, has been much canvassed. MR. WEBSTER ON REPUDIATION The following extract from a speech of Mr. Webster, at an agricultural meeting in New York, will be read with pleasure by those who are interested in the debt of Pennsylvania, to many of whom that unliquidated debt has brought beggary and ruin : " Mr. President and gentlemen,—What is the credit and character of this glorious country, to which we all belong, abroad ? We are rich ; we are powerful ; we have all the means of accomplishing whatever virtuous human desire can embrace. But what is our credit ? And I am not one of those disposed to complain of or to stigmatise in any way the efforts of the states of this great union who have sought for funds abroad to carry on those enterprises and improvements which their sense of utility has projected ; on the contrary, I think that the circumstances of the times and the necessities of the case may justify, at least to a considerable extent, the engagements into which some of the states, especially the Western states, have entered abroad. Among those which have thus justifiably become involved is the state of Pennsylvania, the richest state in the union, in my judgment—perhaps I ought to except New York—but, taking her mineral, commercial, and agricultural facili ties into consideration, I don't know on the face of the earth, excepting England, a richer state than the state of Pennsylvania. ("rake off her debt,' said Governor Seward.) My friend Governor Sewa-d says, ' Take off her debt.' Her debt—her debt ! What can be the debt of a state like Pennsylvania, that she should not be able to pay it—that she cannot pay it, if she will hut take from her pocket the money that she has in it ? Eng land's debt is ingrafted upon her very soil ; she is bound down to the very earth by P. ; and it will affect England and Englishmen to the 50th generation. But the debt of Pennsylvania—the debt of Illinois—the debt of any state in this union—amounts not to a sixpence in com parison. (Cheers.) Let us be Americans; but let us avoid, as we despise, the character of an acknowledged insolvent community. (Cheers.) What importance is it what other nations say of us, or what they think of us, if they can nevertheless say, you don't pay your debts ? (Applause.) Now, gentlemen, I belong to Massachu setts ; but if I belonged to a deeply indebted state,. I'd work these ten fingers to their stumps—l'd hold plough, I'd drive plough, I'd do both, before it should be said of thestate to which I belonged, that she did not pay her debts. (Loud cheers.) That's the true principle ; let us act upon it (cheers) ; let us go it' to its full extent,l (Deafening applause.) If it costs us our comforts, let us sacrifice our comforts ; if it costs us our farms, let us mortgage our farms. But don't let it be said by the proud capitalists of England. ' You don't pay your debts. You republican governments don't pay your debts.' Let us say to them, We will pay them ; we will pay them to the uttermost farthing.' That's my firm conviction of what we ought to do. That's my opinion, and water can't drown, fire can't burn, it out of me. (Loud ap plause.) If America owes a debt, let her pay it—let her pay it. (Deafening cheers.) What I have is ready for the sacrifice. What you have I know would be ready for the sacrifice. At any rate, and at any sacrifice, don't let it be said on the Exchanges of London or Paris, don't let it be said in any one of the proud monarchies of Europe—' America owes, and can't or won't pay.' God forbid ! (Cheers.) Let us pay—let us pay. (Long continued and loud applause.) Let us say to them, Produce your bond, and take your money, principal and interest. Add it all up, and take your money.' (Ap plause.) Let us say to' them,.' We are not your slaves ; we are not paupers ; we will not be your debtors ; we will pay ; produce your bond—here is your money—take it.' (This was followed by repeated and deafening cheers.) And until that is done, my friends, you and I cannot feel as if we could draw a free breath. I don't want to be indebted to the capitalists of Europe ; if we owe them anything, let them produce their bill. if my professional earnings are of any worth--if they are wanted—if my farm is wanted—if the conveniences of life for myself, for my wife and children, are wanted, so far as. I am concerned, so far as America is concerned, come and take them. (Cheers.) That's the iightground to take, and let us take it. In the north and south, in the east and west, if there live any who are descended from the fathers of the revolution—any in whose veins runs a drop of their blood, and in whose hearts lives a particle of their proud spirit—let them rise up and say, that if we owe Europe, Europe shall be paid. (Loud cheers.) I wish to breathe the breath of an independent man. A citizen of a prond and honoured country, I abhor the idea that my daily happiness is to be marred by the consciousness that anything disgraceful hangs on the country or any part of it. Let us, gentlemen, be proud of our country ; but let us preserve for that coun 4ry the character of a just and debt-paying nation. Let it never be said among the nations of Europe that the United States of America—the nation that had its birth in the glorious scenes of '76—the country of Washington —the example and great type of all modern republics— cannot or will not pay its debts ! " OPENING OF THE CONCILIATION HALL The Repeal Association held its usual weekly meet ing yesterday, for the first time, in the newly-erected building on Burgh-quay, called the Conciliation Hall. This new place of meeting is a quadrilateral structure, capable of containing from three to four thousand per sons. A spacious gallery runs round the entire build and at the end, fronting the entrance door, a plat. form has been erected for the accomodation of the chair man, the principal speakers, and the gentlemen of the press. The place is in a vary unfinished state, and pre sents a rough and cheerless appearance. It was densely crowded in every part long before the hour for which the meeting had been called ; but none of the corpora tion, as was announced, attended in their robes. Mr. O'CONNELL entered the meeting shortly before one o'clock, and was received with tremendous cheers. Atter a vain attempt for several minutes to ad crass the meeting, in consesequence of the great inconvenience arising from the pressure of the crowd in the body of the hall, he said that he bad the high honour of mov ing that the chair should be taken by John Augustus O'Neill, Esq., of Bunnowen Castle—(loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN rose amidst loud cheers. The cabi net could not expect Irishmen to agree with them ; be cause they were diametrically opposed, and had been so for 50 years. In 1819 Wellington held the opinion that if Catholic emancipation was granted, the next step would be to demand the forfeited lands. Now if that were the case, he (the chairman) would be enti tled to upwards of £lOO,OOO a year, handed down from genera►ions through father to son. (Cheers.) In 1827, Sir Robert Peel and Mr. Goulburn spoke against Ca tholic emancipation, and the present chief justice of England opposed them, and in the following year they came down arid adopted his speech. (Cheers.) They were called cowards tor doing so, but no feeling of that kind instigated them ; for he was sure they bad acted upon conscientious conviction. (Cheers.) It was quite a fiction of the law to say that kings could do no wrong; for they might do wrong, and had often paid very heavy penalties—(hear)—for doing so. (Hear.) One set of statesmen told the king that it would be perjury to sign the Catholic emancipation bill, while others forced him to subscribe to it. (Cheers.) He (the chairman) hoped that there was a government reporter in the hall. Mr. O'CONNELL.—Yes; there is one from Gurney's office. The CHAIRMAN continued to say—that he personally knew that there were letters in Dublin from the Duke of bent (the Queen's father), in his own writing, breathing the greatest and purest affection for Ireland, and expressing a wish to be appointed Lord Lieutenant at a certain critical period. People talked of a federal parliament but what was the meaning of the word ? If gentlemen did not understand it, they should not l a me n ao d dr, eefre,tahraa tothan a treaty their , et yt between friends. eoern, Ei nn England ai H sn eda opinion,ra. and ea is m a nu e d a s e n . d t b( nothingtheir express opinions which wo u ld g i ve tr i ump h to t h eir foes d l i r t A federal treaty was " that which shall be done by order of, and with the authority of, the senate." (Loud cheers.) Mr. O'Neill next described the manner in which the Belgian revolution was effected. By the in terference of France she became a diademed kingdom, and k• cl om, and the only part England took in the proceeding was, to send a king there. (Hear, hear.) Belgium had suc ceeded accidentally by foreign iatervention—but Ireland would depend upon Irishmen, on God, and on Ireland. If it should be the pleasure of a rash • • minieter,forgetful of the law of God and man—and such a forgetfulness he by no means attributed to the Duke of Wellington, who always during his campagins was most careful of human life; but if, for a moment, he should think of steeping, in the blood of Irishmen. the laurels which Ireland's sons had placed on his brow, their still remained for them an interposing power between him and the nation—they could look to the Queen. He had shown that they had a right to look for hereditary love to Ireland in her Ma jesty. Should the Duke resolve to act as he had de- 1 s cribed, of which from his (Mr. O'Neill's) soul he ac quitted_his Grace, one might imagine the Queen, in the words of Shakspeare—" Beware, take heed, how you awake the slumbering sword of war ;" I charge you in , the name of God to take heed! He would respectfully offer his opinion, that if repeal were forced in the hour , of England's weakness, it would be the rui n o f Ireland. 1 Repeal held back too long would create national bank- 1 ruptcy. Repeal at once cenceded would be productive ' of peace, prosperity, and inoissoluble connexion with England—(hear, hear.) But if a collision should take place—if the Almighty in his anger withdrew his pro tection from the empire, the same Gazette which pro claimed the victory of England over her twin sister, would announce that one nation was depopulated, and the other tottering on the brink of ruin —(hear, hear.) Mr. O'CONNELL rose and said,—The first sentence I wish to utter in the Conciliation Hall is this truth, that there is only one way of obtaining a repeal of the union, and that is, by using none but peaceable and legal means. (Hear, hear.) My second sentence is, that the repeal is certain. (Loud and long-continued cheeri n g, waving of THE CONSALL ESTATE, STAFFORDSHIRE. hats and handkerchiefs, &c.)

The rovv consists of fourteen cottages, standing in a field near to the entrance of the town, and the electric fluid struck one near to the centre, entering the chimnoy, and coming out above the mantelpiece, passed through the room-door about a foot from the grate, and descended to • the house-floor hearth, around which were sitting the unfortunate occupier's wife and two children, another being in the cradle. The tenant, Thomas Moores, who is a stone-mason, with a family of six children, had re• tired to bed a few minutes previously, and three of tha children were also in bed in an adjoining room ; but the wife, who bad all her life been greatly afraid of thunder, was sitting up till the storm was over; and, dreadful to state, the electric fluid struck her, and instantly rendered her a frightfully mangled blazing corpse, dashing the chil dren against the opposite walls, and tearing up the flags of the floor in its downward progress. Poor Moores states that he was knocked out of bed down stairs, and on coming to his senses found his wife's clothes on fire, as well as several articles of clothing near the fire-place. The neigbours fetched a surgeon, hut the poor woman was dead ; the two children and the infant in the cradle recovered. The house is literally a heap of blackened ruins. meeeting. The amount of the rent for the week was declared to be—Two Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty-four PoundB. At six o'clock the meeting adjourned till one o'clock to-morrow. --~ SIMULTANEOUS SIGNAL FIRES-MOVE MENT AMONGST THE PEASANTRY. The Tipperary Constitution states that " on Thursday night between the hours of seven and eight o'clock the entire country was literally covered with fires. From every eminence throughout the counties of Limerick, Clare, and Tipperary, a fire blazed, and all shot into light almost simultaneously. Fires blazed on the public roads, and torches were seen to be borne along by the country people in every direction. It was really wonderful to witness the exactness with which each fire, for miles round, blazed into light, almost at the same moment, and the organisation displayed by the incendiaries in lighting these signal fires was almost incredible. The meaning of those fires we cannot ascertain, but of this we are cer tain, that they are intended for no good purpose. The Cork Constitution also say's :bat " in the direction of Donoughmore the hills were all " ablaze" on Thurs. d about ten o'clock, brig A I H. Wills, on 21st of July, off the island near Monte Video. Anont noon on I . . but none appearing, and there being a she continued her course, and at n light easterly wind, idday on the 21st increased 1 great ice, and a heavy shower of hai and rain began io fall, and there being no pilot to be seen on the station, all her sails were shortened, and she hove to about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, with her head to the southward, the weather at that time being very thick, and several high breakers near her. She, however, still made way, although very little, going at the early part of the evening not more than two knots an hour. At 8 o'clock the weather had become exceedingly misty, so much so that the ship's length could scarcely be discerned, and every precaution was adopted in order to prevent ac cident, a man being constantly at her mast head, and the lead kept going. The captain, fearing from the violence of the gale that if he anchored on the spot she would be blown away from her moorings and every soul perish, de termined on keeping her under canvas, as from her posi tion he supposed she would make the Mount by the fol lowing morning. She kept going on very steadily till about midnight, when the captain went down below for a short time, the mate being at the mast-head, when he no sooner did so than he heard a distant shock from her striking forward, though in six fathoms, aft and hind. The captain instantly rushed on deck and put the helm a-port, which she answered, and the sails were set. The heavy serf, however, that was running kept constantly beating her on the shoal, and the crew expected every moment that she would be beaten to atoms, and they all meet with a watery grave. She soon got clear, and the captain decided on running for Monte Video, although the weather was exceedingly dark. Accordingly the pumps were kept going, and the carpenters set to work to repair the ship. Unfortunately, however, she had received too great an injury, as the sea was fast flowing into the hold. Notwithstanding this the captain still kept her on the tack, and it was only at 3 o'clock on the following morn ing when the water was level with the cabin decks, that the captain and crew, 13 in number, left the ill-fated ves sel in her boats. She soon went dawn in deep crater, and the crew then steered for the above port, in doing which they encountered most tempestuous weather, the boat at one time being almost full of water and am►dst breakers. At length, after the lapse of six hours, they succeeded in reaching Monte Video, greatly fatigued from excessive exertion and exposure to cold. At this port it appears the poor fellows were not treated by the Consul in that kind manner which their destitute case deserved. They have, however, safely arrived in England. OBSERVATIONS IN RESPECT OF THE ISLANDS OF RASAY AND RONA, IN SCOTLAND. " The islands of Rasay and Rona form part of the Wes tern Hebrides, situated in the county of Inverness, lyinz between the island of Skye and the mainland. Rona lies directly north of Raspy. RASAY " Rasay measures 12 miles. The breadth is 34 miles. The island measures 15.126 acres. At the north end is the island Tigh, separated only from Rasay at flood tide. At the west side is the island of Fladda ; it measures 1 mile and 2 furlongs. Rasay, including Tigh and Fladda, amounts to 15,598 acres 2 roods and 31 poles. The island is divided or let into 22 farms. Total arable in the island, at present under cultivation, 1,266 acres. The island, or a considerable portion, may almost be said to be now in its naturally wild state. The inhabitants having no lease, have had no inducement to-improve their land, but there are great quantities of land of good soil capable of being easily improved, and lots of respectable yeomen ready to occupy it on lease. Many of the glens present as beau tiful and as fine a surface as can possibly be seen. The mansion-house is situated at the south end of the island; it is of modern date, and is large and commodious. A sketch is shown upon the plan,. The front is all of dressed ashler, from the freestone rock on the estate at Hallaig. It is erected on the Doric order of architecture, in a chaste and beautiful style, embellished with a magnificent stone portico, opening to a spacious-noble hall. A fine spring passes through the estate. In fact, the islands are cele brated' for the delicious springs which abound there in all parts. The garden is a large square area of some acres in extent. Near the house, on the beach, is one of the cele brated romantic caves in which-Prince Charles was con cealed. Behind the house, andlextending in a northerly direction to near Usgai , T, is a very fine plantation of elm and larch, extending to 15 acres. About the church there is a plantation of Scotch fir, beech, larch, and ash, ex tending 'to 26 acres. At Glaim and Castle, the natural plantation extends to 310 acres. Between Balchurn and Hallaig are several very fine lochs, abounding in black trout, and the whole island abounds largely in grouse and blackcoek. There is plenty of fine blue limestone ; and no doubt, if search was made, COAL WOULD ALSO DE rouND. Duncan, the highest hill in Rasay, presents from the summit one of the grandest panoramic views of Highland scenery in Scotland. On the east side the rocks are of freestone, towering above each other, rising in ma jestic height upwards of 3,000 feet above the sea, and in parts quite inaccessible, except to the wild gnats which abound on the rock, and which is-known as the " Goat Rock," and from which issues a gushing stream of the purest water, providing a refreshment of the most delight ful description to the eager sportsman. In the island of Fladda there is abundance of slate. There can be no doubt that this only requires an enterprising tenant to se cure an enormous income. " Rona lies nearly directly north of Rasay. The island is four macs in length, and one mac in breadth. There is in several parts a large quantity of flow moss, that, with ♦ery little expense, could b- drained and brought under cultivation. There is also in the Big Harbour plenty of shell sand, nearly equal to good lime, which might be used to great advantage upon the ground—almost none is at present used. The island measures 2,414 acres, of which there is at present 156 acres under cultivation. The Big Harbour: is a very safe and deep harbour. The island abounds in grouse and game of alLsorts." Hon.
