FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. THE RIVER PLATE From Rio Janeiro by the Emelia, we have papers to the :22nd of August. The exchange had risen to 251. There has been a con aiderable demand for notes of supply, partly in consequence of the importations of the newly discovered diamond mine, of which we have heard so much in England. Letters hgd been received there from Monte Video, of the 7th August, stating that General Roses, as was expected, had rejected the mediation of England and France, and that the minister of powers had left Buenus Ayres. Immediately afterwards the whole squadron of the latter govern ment had been conducted within the port, and the foreign sailors disembarked. The officers and soldiers were permitted to retire within the city, on which all the forts were ordered under rigorous blockade—all neutral vessels being allowed to F,o out of the port of Buscio to the 12th. On the 4th the English and French ministers a4dressed?notes to the Buenos Ayrean government, explaining their proceedings and intentions. Two vessels, drawing a low rate of water, had been despatched up the Uruguay by the English Admi ral from the Buenos Ayrean squadron, to assist in the blocka, l Other letters say, that the me iatorial power had disc abarketl if , oo ---- m;:;iiieVtlieYlad displaced at the disposal of the Monte Videan government, and had intimated to (tribe that if he did not withdraw they would attack his position ; also, that if he continued to fire on the city, it would be rated as an act of hostility to the Rags. Notwithstanding this notice, the cannonade had continued, but it was presumed only for the purpose of covering Oribe's re treat. It was also said that Rosas had sunk several small vessels to block up the channels near the island of Martin Garcia. The English and,French were anxiously waiting for news. The Spider packet, from Rio, arrived on the 7th at Monte Video. The En glish brig of war, the Racer, arrived on the 7th and was to sail on the 2th. The Brazilian government had determined to maintain the strictest neutrality. There was no foundation for the reports of its having acted conjointly with the English and French. Three of its corvettes had left the River Plate, and its squadron was reduced to one corvette and three smaller vessels. INSURRECTION IN ALGERIA The Algiers Journals of the Ist give an account of a disastrous affair which has just taken place near Djema Ghazaouat, Colonel Montagnac, who commanded that post, being informed by a sub jected Arab chief who had never before given any reason to doubt his fidelity, that Abel-Bader, at the head of only a few men, had come to seek a refuge in the environs and was then in a spot where he might be easily surprised, set out with a small column of 150 men, composed of the Bth battalion of the Orleans Chasseurs, and two squadrons of hussars. On arriving at the marabout of Sidi Bra. kira (four leagues from Djema Ghazaouat), he was suddenly sur rounded by an enormous mass of horsemen and Kabyles of the country, and of the frontier of Morocco, whom he charged reso lutely, with the intention of forcing a passage. The melee was terrible, for in a moment officers and soldiers were stretched lifeless on the earth, with the exception of 80 men of the Chasseurs, at the head of whom was Captain Goreaux, the only officer who had not been killed. Notwithstanding the efforts of the enemy, these 80 men got possession of a neighbouring marabout, and shut them selves up in it. Abel-Bader in vain attempted to force the place. He was constantly received with a shower of musketry through the loop-holes which the soldiers had made in the walls with their swords and bayonets, and the Emir was compelled to raise a siege that had cost him so many lives. For two days the men were there pressing against each other, without sleep, provisions, or water Three times did Abel -Kader call upon them to surrender, swearing. that no harm should be done to them, for, said he, " you are hu mane to Pelussulman prisoners." Although reduced to the last extremity the 80 brave men would not listen to any terms, and under these circumstances Abel-Kader retired, leaving, however, a large force to blockade the marabout. Scarcely was the bulk of the besieging force out of sight of the beseiged, when they attempted a sortie, and penetrating with bayonet the line of natives who sur rounded them, tl.ey directed their course towards Djema Ghazaouas. At a league from that place a host of Kablyes fell upon them. The captain was one of the first who fell, and his soldiers, in order that his body might not fall into the hands of the enemy, fell by the side of him. In the meantime the fusilade was heard at Djema Ghazaouat, where the alarm had besides been given by a hussar, the only one who had escaped from the massacre of the two squad rons. When the garrison of this place reached the scene of the combat, only 12 men were standing. They were all easily disen gaged and taken back to Djema Ghazaouat— in all 1-1 living out of 450. General Lamoriciere has left Algiers with a strong rein forcement for Djema Ghazaouat. This intelligence has created a great sensation throughout France. The official evening paper publishes the following:—" The Council of Ministers met this morning at St. Cloud. The King has ordered six regiments of infantry and two regiments of cavalry to embark and to be transported forthwith to the province of Oran, in Algeria, where the Marshal Duke of Isly has been ordered to return itn mediately."—This decision on the part of the Government to send out reinforcements to Algeria to chastise the redoubted Abd-el- Rader, is almost the only subject of comment in the French papers. From an article in the Journal des Debats it w ould appear that the French Government has determined to pursue Abd-el-Kader wherever he may be found, and in case of necessity, not to respect the Morccco territory. THE AFFAIR AT MADAGASCAR.-Our readers are aware that an united English and French attack was lately m 4de on one of the Madagascar forts, in conse quence of the oppressive conduct of the Queen and her authorities towards European settlers. The attack was unsuccessful ; but not fnr want of courage, as the follow ing account (f an eye-witness will_testifv.:— "I must give you the detail of the flag affair:—The flag staff was shot through, and it fell inside the circular fort, on the edge of which it had stood ; it was then put on a lance, or something of the sort, and stuck again on the wall, in a crevice of the stones. It was shot away again, and this time it fell outwards, hanging down within a few feet of the bottom of the ditch, between the nner fort and the screen, Two English sailors and a midship nil two or three Frenchmen, made a rush into the ditch after l it, and neither party being able to get it from the oth er; . .ime for it, in the very hottest of after st the NI a ; two or three letters remained the' Manjaka: and the French the major part of the leanavla :' the English the hy and the French the luff,' of the colour, as the sailors say." in returning after this admirable arrangement Lieutenant Kennedy was getting through one of the embrasures in the screen, when the gun went off, and killed several, but he escaped with a wound from a splinter through both thighs—not dangerous. At Demerara, - Berbice, and Essequibo, the blacks are forming " joint stock companies," and becoming proprie tors of the very soil they once cultivated as slaves. The King of Hanovei• has purcht.sedHagdon's repeti tion of Napoleon musing at St. Helena, and placed it at his palace of Herenhausen. Faodor Wehl has been sentenced, on the ground of of fence to the King of Prussia, which is found is his pam phlet, " The Devil in Berlin," published at Hamburg, to nine months' imprisonment with hard labour. Twelve young men, driven from Barcelona by the con scription, and torced to take the road as robbers, were captured and shot on the 26th ult. The eldest was under 21 years of age. The Cologne Gazette states from Berlin, that a project of convoking a general council of the clergy of all sects in Prussia, with a view to hearing their opinions on the reli gious questions which agitate the public in that country, is under consideration. Most disastrous accounts have been received from the Coast of Africa relative to the prevalence of fever at cer tain parts of that station, and on board numerous vessels, by which vast numbers of the crews have been swept off. In one case 70 are reported to have fallen victims on board one vessel, out of a complement of 130. IRELAND The coachman of the Rev. Mr. Butson has been com mitted for the murder of that reverend gentleman's steward at Clonfert. ANOTHER MONSTER MEETING.—Mr• O'Connell bad another decnen , tration meeting last week at Killarney, but nothing took place to digtinguish it from the recent Similar meetings. The Cork Constitution contains several letters in refer ence to the potatoe disease in that neighbourhood, stating that it is more extensive than was supposed, and that every day discloses new cases. It is said that persons have been appointed by government to inquire and report on the subject. Dr. McHale has notified his intention of being present at the Repeal banquet at Castlebar on Sunday last. The Libarator, it seems, had some religious qualms touching the propriety of mustering the Repealers on the sabbath, but the bishop thinks very differently on the subject, and feels it a " pleasing duty to attend on the interesting oc casion." MORE IRISH MURDERS.—At Armagh, three men are in custody charged with attacking a car-driver on the road and beating him to deatb.—On the 30th ultimo, at Garranbeg, near Nenlgh, a man named Michael Hill was attacked by a gang of disguised ruffians, who broke into the house and beat him so severely that be died the fol lowing morning. The offence of the deceased is said to have been his refusal to allow his brother to marry a young woman with whom he was intimate. O'CONNELL U. PEACE.—Two murders in Tipperary since Mr. O'Connell's visit! The rent is not the only thing revived by his presence. There was a partial lull— a temporary pause. Assassination seemed to sleep, and we missed fri , m the newspapers the customary column of outrage; but no sooner does he set foot on the soil than the blood-stained county asserts its character, and men are murdered on their hearths. This is the fact—account for it as you like. IRISH CO-PARTNERSHIP IN A HORSE.—The Times Commissioners' Report on the condition of the people of Ireland, quotes the following anecdote :—" In an adjacent island, belonging to this estate, three men were con cerned in one horse; but the poor brute was rendered useless, as the unfortunate foot of the supernumerary leg remained unshod, none of them being willing to ac • knowledge its dependency, and accordingly it became quite lame. There were many intestine rows on the sub ject ; at length one of the company' came to the main land, and called on a magistrate for advice, stating that the animal was entirely useless now ; that he bad not only kept up, decently, his proper hoof, at his own expense, but had shod this fourth foot twice to boot; yet the other two proprietors resolutely refused to shoe more than their own foot." THE COURT c - FASHIONABLE WORLD. Lord Farnham has been presented with the ribbon of the Order of Saint Patrick, vacant by the death of the Marquis of Ely. The marriage of Earl Howe with the Hon. Miss Gore, Maid of Honour to Her Majesty the Queen Duwager, took place on Thursday, at the church adjoining Witley Court. The Que en Dowager was present. Sir Augustus D'Este, the son of the late Duke of Sussex, although illegitimate acco r ding to the Royal Marriage Act of England, would have a very strong claim to the throne of Hanover in case of the failure of the issue of the elder branch, which claim might produce much embarrassment, as the Cambridge family would also have claimed the throne. It is stated that a vacancy is likely to be occasioned in the representation of the city of Worcester,orcester, by the ex pected elevation of Sir Thonia ilde, in consideration of his marriage with Maine. D Este, daughter of the late Duke of Sussex. It is further stated that Chief Justice Tindal is to retire from the Common Pleas on a pe ns i on , and that Si r Th omas Wilde is to succeed him. On Monday last, as the Duke of Wellington was pro ceeding to Rve, to visit the harbour, he had occasion to wait a few minutes at Dymchurch to change horses, when an elderly gentleman accosted him, declaring that it had ever been th e h e i g h t of h i s am bi t i on t o s hake hands with soillustriou s a man. His grace immediately offered him his hand, and entered familiarly into conversation ; and, when they parted, the gentleman declared himself eased of a great burden, and should die contented, now that he bad seen and conversed with the Duke of Wellington. CLERICAL NEWS. The Rev. J. Barclay, A.M ~ of Christ College, Oxford, has accepted the vicarage of Runcorn. The British Magazine, once a champion of the Tracta rians, has turned against them, and now demands the punishment of Dr. Pusey. The Bishop of Exeter has called the attention of his clergy to the impropriety of their dabbling in railway speculations, quoting the Church Building Act, i❑ its 29th and 30th sections, expressly disabling the clergy from trade and traffic. The penalty is suspension, and for the third offence deprivation. JURISDICTION OF BISEIOPS.—On the subject of the disputed independence and authority of the Scottish bishops, the Dublin Statesman has the following : The Bishop of London. we are informed by the papers, ' confirmed forty-two young persons in the British Church at Havre,' about a fortnight since, and afterwards proceeded to Caen to hold a confirmation there.' A paragraph like this in the newspapers of the day may seem a simple thing, but it con tains profound ins , ruction at the present crisis, and involves a principle quite powerful enough to smash to atoms the ' Ca tholic' theory relative to the Scottish episcopacy to which the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishops of Exeter and London have lately lent their countenance. How comes the Bishop of London, we demand, to exercise upon Scottish episcopal ' Ca tholic' principles his episcopal functions in a diocese of Nor mandy where there is already a ' Catholic' bishop ? Is not his lordship of London an ' intruder' and a ' schismatic.' and are not the ' young persons' confirmed by him, and the presbyters who minister to these young persons and to their friends in the British chu, ches in France all schismatics?' " WATERMEN'S CHURCH.—The anniversary sermons in aid of the funds for supporting this place of worship were preached on Tuesday last by the Rev. George Lea, A.M., minister of Christ Church, Birmingham, when a collection was made to the amount of £l9 Bs. sd. The religious claims of a long neglected body of our country men were on this occasion ably advocated, while the duty of promoting the due observance of the Sabbath was very strongly urged on all classes of the community. Among the congreg iticn we noticed nine clergymen. It is gra tifying to the friends of this undertaking to find that bargemen and boatmen from distant parts, when detained at NA orcester, so often avail themselves of the privilege of being allowed to frequent this place of worship set apart more especially for the use of a class hitherto found so reluctant to attend church. In addition to the collection, the charity-box kept in the vessel was found to contain £1 4s. sd. including 109 pence, as well as a considerable number of fourpenny pieces, and sixpences, showing the good will of the less opulent classes. A sovereign was also received as a donation, forwarded from a lady in Calcutta to the Chaplain of the Watermen'S Church, Worcester.— Worcester Journal. RAILWAY INTELLIGEACE. The new Kent lines for next Session comprehend a capital of upwards of £12,000.000. A grand central railway station is to be formed at Car lisle. A new project is the formation of a " Railway Carriage Building Company." The Edinburgh, and Glasgow, and Scottish Central Companies mutually have agreed that the former Company shall lease the Scottish Central at 6 per cent., with a di vision of the surplus profits. The Morning Chronicle states that a contract has been entered into by Brassy, Stephenson, and Makenzie, the contractors, for the construction of the Trent Valley Railway at £611,619, at the rate of £12,000 per mile, to be completed bythe spring of 1847. The Leeds and Thirsk Company have agreed to co-ope rate, and the two lines are to run into each other, and have a joint station at Knaresborough. By these arrange ments it is said the Company will be placed on the direct lines to Whitby, Scarborough, and U nil. RAILWAY DIRECTORS.—A correspondent of the Times gives a list of four gentlemen, one of whom is a director of 23 companies advertised in two days, another of 22, another of 21, and another of 20. One hundred shares in each would be—No. 1, £57,000 ; No. 2, £55,000; No. 3, £52,000 ; No. 4, £50,000. THE VATICAN VERSUS RAILROADS.—The Gazelta Italiana, a print published at Paris, mentions three de crees which, it alleges, have been recently issued by the Pope. The first prohibits the construction of any de scription of railroad in the Pontifical dominions ; by the second, all the Pope's subjects are prohibited from at tending any scientific congress; and the third orders all physicians not to attend such patients as, after their third visit. shall not have received the sacrament. RAILWAYS IN THE ISLE OF MAN.—The Isle of Man seems as likely to become an object of railway contention and enterprise as Yorkshire and Lancashire are at the present moment, and its local parliament, the " House of Keys," to have its solemn dulness diversified by railway debates and railway committees. Two companies are in the field for the prize, one the Isle of Man Railway Com pany, the other the Great Manx Company. The latter is taken up by the Glasgow interests. THE RAILWAY KlNG.—During the past month or two railway papers have been called into existence with unusual rapidity, and some of them are conducted with extraordinary energy and ability. Amongst the latter class is a paper bearing the title at the head of this para graph. Its pages are crowded with information of the highest importance to the railway world, and the edito rial articles display a judgment and discrimination which render his opinions of no ordinary value. We give in another column one or two extracts from our contem porary. In consequence of the proceedings adopted within the last few days by the shareholders in the Eastern Counties Railway, the directors have issued a circular stating that several members of the present Board are about to resign. They set forth that one has actually retired, and that Mr. Fisher, the banker of Cambridge, has taken his seat at the Board. The directors likewise assert that they have opened a negotiation with Mr. Hudson and Mr. Wad dington, IA ith the hope of inducing those gentlemen to enter the direction. Finally, they announce that other changes are in contemplation. RAILROAD EXTRAORDINARY.-1t has been ascertained by Mr. Pease and others, that coals may be carried by railway under arrangements most beneficial to all parties ; and it is proposed to complete a double line of railway from Newcastle to the metropolis for the carriage of goods only; these goods being coals chiefly upwards, and miscellaneous packages downwards. As this line would exclude passengers, great speed is not an object. The cost of the railway is estimated at somewhat above £4,000,000, and it is proposed to obtain a subscribed ca pital of £5,000,000 to meet all contingencies. The con sumption of coal in London alone is about 4,000,000 tons annually.—Tyne Mercury. THE RAILWAY SYSTEM.—Railways are revolutionising our whole social _relations. They are no mushroom growth, no fancy of a day. The success of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway—the work of the enterprising capitalists who projected it, and the engineer who sup plied them with a locomotive fit to work—was the fruition of more than a century's experiments—from the first nailing of iron plates on the surface of wooden rails in 1716, and from Trevithick and Vivian's first construction of a working locomotive in ISO 2. The cautious progress of railways from 1830 to 1844 has afforded ample proof of their practical utility : the spring tide of railway construc tion that has now set in upon us is the necessary conse - quence of the conviction that they have become indispen sible to the existing wants of society. the railway has become one of our institutions.—Railway King. LEEDS CENTRAL RAILWAY STATION.—A project of imposing magnitude for the formation of a grand com bined railway station in Leeds has been proposed during the last week, and warmly taken up. The promoters of the scheme represent the followingfive Railway Companies, who thus propose to combine their Leeds termini in one grand Station ; viz :—the Leeds and Thirsk, the Leeds and Dewsbury, the West Riding Union, the Leeds and York, and the London and York Railway Campanies, the last named company becoming connected with the Leeds by a projected branch to Wakefield, there to be joined by an extension of the Leeds and Dewsbury line; and the Leeds and Manchester Company also being connected with the undertaking through the West Riding Union Company. Overtures have also been made to the Leeds and Bradford Railway Company to join in the project, which appears to be one that must eventually, if carried out, become the focus for all Railways connected with Leeds. MANCHESTER, BOLTON, AND BURY CANAL NAVIGA TION AND RAILWAY.—A special general meeting of this company was held in the Clarendon-rooms, Mr. James Brancker, in the chair, on Thursday, for a variety of pur poses. The meeting was fully attended. The resolutions i proposed by the directors, five in number, were carried i without any substantial opposition. By the first, the mortgage debt of the company, £'!61,400 was converted into share capital, and the present capital augmented by the sum of X 120,000, in order to complete the works, and to provide additional working stock. The second em powered the directors to issue scr_p certificates to repre sent the proposed new capital upon the terms named and the next to take measures which they might deem ex pedient, in reference to any extensions of, or new pro jects connected with. the railway. The other two resolu tions were farinal. The business of the day being over, Mr. Crosthwaite paid some high compliments to the zeal and ability of Mr. Hawk haw, in the service of the com pany, and moved that the cordial thanks of the company be presented to him, also that a subscription be entered into, for the purpose of presenting him with some sub stantial mark of esteem. A committee was appointed to carry the object into effect. RAILWAY DEPOSITS.—The city article of the Morn ing Herald, in noticing the effects which may be pro duced by the payment of the railway deposits to the Accountant General, has the following remarks :—" On I the average of 25 years, from the commencement of the French revolutionary war, the loans made to Govern ment amounted to £25,000,000 per annum, exclusive of the war taxes, which could not be rated at less than £15,000,000 more, 'making a total of £ 4 0,000,000. This was a display of national resources applied generally in an unproductise manner, without a parallel in the history of society ; and cc for from it producing an abstraction of capital from the ordinary pursuits of industry, mat er i a l improvement went pari paalu on a ratio never witnessed before in any age or country. The question, therefore, may be put and answered in this way :—lf the profits on the capital of the country admitted of an annual ab straction of £40,000,000 from the year 1792 to the peace with the United States, without encroaching on the means of reproduction, how much can now be annually spared for objects which in their very nature involve the principle of reproduction on a certain ratio, short as it may be of the estimate of the projectors? That the ag• gregate capital of the country has materially increased during the last thirty years is a self-evident proposition, proved to demonstration by the comparison of the pro perty and income-tax at the two periods, leniently as it has been levied in the latter of the periods, and we there fore conclude that there is no reason to doubt but an ex penditure of £30,000,000 to £40,000,C00 per annum may be made on railways, without leading to any serious de rangement, all other matters remaining the same. PROGRESS OF RAILWAYS. — In the autumn of 1833 the ' "Rocket " had been started four years, the Liverpool and Manchester Railway had been open three, the -Garnkirk and Glasgow two, the Warrington and •Newton had only been opened that season. The system was in its infancy. But Clear heads - both in England and Scotland had staked their credit on its success. The directors of the Manchester and Liverpool with their Stephensons, and the Tennants and Bannatynes of Scotland with their Mil ler, already saw others following their example. The pro gress of the faith as it is in railways was for a time lei surely enough. The acts of the Birmingham and Man chester, and of the Grand Junction, were passed in 1833; the former was only opened in 1837, and the latter in 1838. In 1810 the Great Western and the South Eastern were only "in progress." From 1826 (the year in which the Liverpool and Manchester railway act passed) to 1843, 148 railway acts were passed, capital to the amount of fifty-seven millions and a half subscribed, loans contracted to the amount of twenty-one millions and a half. At the close of 184-1 there were sixty-four lines of railway actu ally completed and in operation ; their combined length was 2,0691 miles ; the capital invested in them was up wards of sixty-four millions. The additional railways at present actually in progress are 130, extending over 3.543 miles, and estimated to cost £74,407,520. Take up a railway map. and, what with black and what with red lines (indications of completed and p ojected railways), it reminds one of a map of the heavens in the palmy days of the Ptolemaic system, " with centric and eccentric scribbled o'er."—Railway King. LIVERPOOL AND BURY RAILWAY.—An extraordinary general meeting of the proprietors in this Company was held on Wednesday. Mr. James Brancker, chairman of the company, occupied the chair. The report of the di rectors congratulated the shareholders upon the position which the company bad obtained, and upon the circum stance of the expenses up to the day of the Royal assent being given to the act having been under £30,000. The engineer's report was equally favourable ; from it we learn that the ground will very shortly be broken for the construction of the line. Messrs. Thomas C. Molynenx and J. H. Brancker were appointed auditors at a salary of £25 each. Sir Thomas Brancker was appointed treasurer. The following gentlemen were appointed directors : Lord Balcarres, James Brancker, J. Crosthwaite, C. J. Derbyshire, William Evans, Pasco Grenfell, William Peace, haw, R. Stuart, W. Stuart, J. Woodcock, and R. Grenfell. The directors' remuneration was fixed it £1,200 per annum. The shareholders then resolved them selves into a special meeting, and two resolutions were discussed at great length. One of these enabled the di rectors to take measures for procuring powers to make extensions, and the other confirmed the terms of agree ment for an amalgamation with the Manchester and Leeds Railway Company. By this agreement the shareholders in the Liverpool and Bury Company are to receive 20,000 £5O shares in the Manchester and'Leeds Company, the dividends on which, for the first two years, will be £1 per cent. less than on those of Manchester and Leeds, and equal afterwards. Mr. Charles Turner moved that the decision on the subject be postponed for a fortnight, and in the meantime each proprietor to be furnished with a copy of the terms of amalgamation. This motion was rejected ; and the two resolutions were carried by large majorities. The secretary's salary was fixed at £5OO. SUPPLEMENT TO THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. VINDICATION OF THE IRISH CLERGY On Thursday last, the Lord Primate of Ireland held a visitation of his diocese in the Cathedral of Armagh. His Grace delivered a long and deeply interesting charge on the occasion, in which he boldly vindicated the Irish church from the attacks of her manifold opponents. We extract the following just tribute to the zeal and devoted ness of the Protestant clergy of the sister country. . , . .. " Looking back (says his to the period when I was raised to the episcopal office, forty years ago, and comparing the internal condition of the church now with what it was then, the improvement in every respect is most marked and gratifying. The growth in zeal, in dili gence, in devotedness to their sacred employment, in earnestness and laborious exertions on the part of the clergy, call for devout gratitude to Him from whom the ability comes which has enabled them thus to will and to do of His good pleasure. Their increased attainments in professional learning has been equally observable, and is to be traced to the efficiency of the divinity school of our University, and the care and labour there bestowed on the candidates for the ministry by the respective lecturers, and especially by the learned and exc, llent Regius Pro fessor, who has so long presided over that school. " The generally large and regular attendance of the people at our churches—the number habitually and de voutedly approaching the Lord's table—the attention on the part of parents in sending their children to be cate chised, and of the clergy in catechising and in superin tending the instruction given in schools—all evince an awakened anxiety for religious improvement—all tend to assure us that we are not forsaken of God, but, we may humbly hope, are partaking of his favour and protection. In this diocese, which is in so great a degree a rural one, it is satisfactory to me to see that most of our country churches have evening as well as morning service per formed in them every Sunday, during the summer months at least; and in a large proportion of them throughout the whole year. In the great majority of them, also, the holy communion is celebrated, not merely on the great festivals, but every month ; and, on an average, one-fifth of the congregation habitually partake of it. It affords me peculiar pleasure, likewise, to perceive the at tention which is given to the religious instruction of the children on the Lord's day ; and that, in this diocese, consisting, as it does of but 104 benefices, there are in the Sunday schools under the superintendence of the clergy more than 12,000 children, and 940 gratuitous teachers. It is also cheering to me to find that our daily schools are in a most encouraging and hopeful state—full of promise as to the fruit they will bear in future years. It is chiefly by your exertions, my reverend brethren, that 279 schools have been established in your parishes, most of them sup ported by private bounty, and affording Christian educa tion to upwards of 22,000 children-10,000 of whom are members of our church, 5,000 are Protestant Dissenters, and 7,000 are Roman Catholics : so successful have your efforts been irfeffecting their united education. Almost all of these schools are in connexion with the Church Education Society, in behalf of which I applied to the government, as you are aware, for aid, but applied in vain. I deeply lament that the assistance of the state has not been vouchsafed. The refusal however, of pecuniary support from the government does not abate the value of our schools, nor diminish the importance of maintaining them to the utmost of our power. " We did not establish them in factious opposition to those of government; they are the old schools of the country, established because we felt that without such in stitutions for the young, under our own superintendence, and conducted on principles of which we approve, we should be without one of the most important and effectual means of doing good to those clmmitted to our care. Your constant and anxious superintendence of them, my reverend brethren, has been most praiseworthy. Relax not your efforts to render them more and more efficient in every respect ; and may the Divine blessing rest on all the abundant labours in which you are engaged, for the edification of the people, both young and old; and may that blessing likewise descend on the bishops and clergy of every diocese in Ireland. W. tttraturr. POE TRY. THE TRANCE SLEEPER. (From Tait's Edinburgh Magazine.) What bast thou, sleeper, seen I" And then I stood beside Whilst lying there Even as marble pale, And still, and fair ? Six times o'er hill and vale The sun bath set, Since last thy wakeful smile In joy we met. The faithful few— Methought to breathe no more The sad adieu— Not one deceiving word, Or broken vow To dull the smile of joy On each fair brow. " Oh I tones of earth, again Ye call my beart From the bright scenes in which It late had part; Oh friends I may not tell, Nor could ye deem Of the rich sweetness link'd With my long dream. " But heart to heart there brought Its wealth of love, And peace within the soul The sweet links wove. How strangely different from Affection here, Whose deepest trust is now In pain and fear. " I have been far away, Away from all That hold's on fading shores The mind in thrall— Each heavy chain unclasp'd— Each fetter broken— Soft words of music heard, — By angels spoken. " The dead ! the dead ! once more Became to me All that gives hope and life, Reality ! Bitter and sad will noa The contrast seem Between my waking hours And that bright dream. " Sunlight that never set, Hung softly o'er Landscapes of hill and vale Ne'er seen before: Cool crystal waters laving Bright banks of flowers, Lovely as those we deem Deck'd Eden's bowers. " Yet shall its memory A cheering light Whereby the mind may seek To guide its flight To the sweet home beyond This fading shore, Where we shall wake and find Sorrow no more." Emsu B- EUTHANASIA. BY DR. SHELTON MACKENZIE, Author of " Titian." Hast thou not seen, in Summer's gentle prime, Tha radiaucy of daylight fade away; Its golden sunshine purpling to a glow More beauteous than it bore in Noon's full flush, Bathing the glorious cloud-isles of the sky In most surpassing hues of loveliness? Then, as the Day's decline stole slowly on, Retreating softly into soberer tints, And blending gently with the twilight clear, Hast thou not thought that thus the human day— Man's little day of Life- cloth shine and fade, Yet leaving still the sure and happy hope Of a most bright to-morrow ? But a pang, Bitter and awe-inspiring, would be thine If, gazing 011 the sunlight in high heaven, Before the matin hours had roll'd away, Darkness—a sudden darkness—bad come down; Total eclipse, before that light had run Its wonted course of splendour! Gentle friend, There are, amid the common-place of life, Some mysteries which no human skill can solve— Sorrows which wring the life from out the heart, And Cares which, pressing heavy on the mind, Work all unseen, and wither where they work. - - - Each heart hath its own trial. Now it comes With loss of Fortune's goods,—then in the wreck Of what Ambition quested,—in the death Of Love, which made a Paradise where Hope Might raise her fairy fabric, which, when raised, A single touch can shatter,—in the pain Which humbleness of Worth receives from Pride, Yet with the consciousness of high desert, — Or in the sudden wrench which strikes away The balance of the well-adjusted mind, When, sudden as a lightning.stroke from Heaven, Whate'er we love the fondest, prize the most, Cherish with passionate and anxious trust, Sinks to the grave before its course be run, Leaving behind a sweet, sad memory,— Like the soft echo of some low-voiced song Which at all times, all places, still doth give Its lingering, haunting music to the ear. New London Magazine. NOTICES. Papists Saved or Damned; London : W. E. Painter. Though some of our readers may consider the title of this little tract rather quaint, if not repulsive. we can assure them there is not a line of its contents marked by anything like harshness or unnecessary plainness. It is given in the shape of a dialogue between a Protestant and a Romanist, and is extracted from the works of William Cowper, Bibhop of Galloway, and daily orator to King James the First, 1623. It has been revised by the Rev. Charles Marshall, the efficient curate of St. Thomas's, Toxteth-park ; and is deserving of the most extensive circulation in these " days of rebuke and blasphemy." The Self-inlerpreling _Bible Glasgow : Macgregor, Poison, and Ca We have received the third part of this publication, which continues the work to nearly the close of the book of Numbers, and contains a beautifully-executed map of the ancient world, exhibiting the probable settlement of the descendants of Noah. We have been favoured with a sight of many of the illustrations and other engravings which will appear in the work, and we can assure our readers that they are well calculated to impress on the memory the scenes, occurrences, &c., of Holy Writ. .... VARIETIES. He wants the best taste and the best sense a man can have who is cold to the beauty of holiness. It is generahy the fate of a double dealer to lose his friends and keep his enemies. Flattery is like the smoke of the incense—it defiles the object it pretends to adore. Free thinking does not always mean thinking freely ; it is more commonly being free from thinking. Adversity does not take from us our true friends ; it only disperses those who pretend to be such. The word daisy is a thousand times pronounced with out our adverting to the beauty of the etymology—" the eye of day." A proctor at Magdalen College asked a commoner why his old stockings were like dead men; and on his "giving it up," answered, " Because they are men-ded." HATRED AND PlTY.—There is this difference between hatred and pity—pity is a thing often avowed, seldom felt ; hatred is a thing often felt, seldom avowed. " You didn't go to Cork to-day Paddy." " Och, no," said Paddy ; " I heard a gentleman say there would be an eclipse of the moon here to-day, and I stayed to see it." A STUDENT'S PIIIVILEGE.—TiII lately, the students of Pisa, on the day of San Martino, had the privilege to catch a Jew, weigh him, and demand as many pounds of sugar plumbs as he weighed. MUSICAL BATTLE.—FoIard tells us that in a battle fought between the Spaniards and Portuguese,:there were found on the field of battle, after the action, not less than fourteen thousand guitars. SIMPLICITY.—Huet, when turned of eighty, had his life saved by his servant, who, seeing him fall down in a fit of apoplexy, bled him instantly. The philosopher left his valet a legacy in his will, on condition that he did so no more ! A country gentleman who had taken some pains to in struct the rustic inhabitants in the proper signs of respect due to him, being lately on a horse somewhat given to shy, and observing a lad walking before him, called out, " Boy, don't take off your hat !" The youth, turning his head, very innocently replied, " I worn't a goin', sir." BOHEMIAN MORALITY !—lt is not generally known, perhaps, that in the villages and towns of Bohemia, peo ple of both sexes sleep unconcernedly in the same room, whether it be a large saloon or the smallest chamber. I mentioned the custom to a German friend with some ex pressions of surprise. " Why should it not be so ?" was his reply. " Have we not myriads of priests, and con fessionals in superabundance ? How should the former be paid and the latter filled, if there was not a great deal to confess and much to absolve? Could our numerous clergy look so cheerful with less sin and repentance ?" The words were somewhat harsh, but I must confess that I have oftener than once heard the clergy of Bohemia openly accused of being the originators of this national but unseemly custom.—Hood's Magazine. A DISAGREEABLE PILLOW COMPANION. — WhiIe our people were loading the beasts the following morning, I had laid down on cushions, upon a carpet, under the shade of an old tree, till my dromedary should be brought. When I rose I heard a hissing noise behind me, and turn ing round, perceived a large serpent, black as jet, still half-concealed in the hollow trunk of the tree, with its head and the fore part of its body coiled up, resting on my pillow, close to the place where my head had left an impression. There is no doubt that the serpent, attracted by the warmth and softness of my cushion, must have re mained a considerable time in this attitude quite near me, and that my sudden rising disturbed it and caused its angry hissing. It was about two or three inches thick, and, as the natives affirmed, of the most venomous spe cies. Thus, we often escape dangers without having the slightest notion of their existence.—Puckler Muskau's Egypt. RECOVERY OF DEBTS AMONG THE INHABITANTS OF CEYLON.—They hate (says Knox) an odd usage among them to recover their debts, which is this : they will sometimes go to the house of their debtor, with the leaves of neiingala, a certain plant which is rank poison, and threaten him that they will eat that poison and de stroy themselves unless he will pay them what he owes. The debtor is much afraid of this, and rather than the other should poison himself, will sometimes sell a child to pay the debt; not that the one is tender of the life of the other, but out of care of himself, for if the person dies of the poison, the other for whose sake the man poisoned himself, must pay a ransom for his life. By this means, also, they will sometimes threaten to revenge themselves of those with whom they have any contest, and do it too. And, upon the same intent, they will also jump down some steep place, or hang, or make away with them selves, that so they might bring their adversary to great damage. A CURE FOR TOOTH-ACHE.--A servant came to say that her ladyship wished to see me. On going into her bedroom, which, as usual, was but faintly lighted, I ran my head against a long packthread, which crossed from the wall, where it was tied, to her bed, and was held in her hand. " Take care, doctor," said she, " these stupid beasts can't understand what I want ; but you must help me. I want to pull out a tooth. I have tied a string to it, and to the wall; and you, with a stick or something, must give it a good blow, so as to jerk my tooth out." Knowing her disposition, I said, " Very well," and that I would do as she wished. " But, if you like," added I, " to have it extracted secundum artem, I fancy 1 can do it for you." " Oh! doctor, have you nerve enough? and besides I don't like those crooked instruments ; but, how ever, go and get them." I had seen in the medicine chest a dentist's instrument, and, returning with it, I performed the 3peration, with the result of which she was so much pleased that she insisted upon having an other tooth out. The relief was so instantaneous, that the second tooth was no sooner gone than she commenced talking as usual.—Memoirs of Lady Hester Stanhope. ESTIMATE OF SIR ROBERT PEEL'S POLICY BY INTEL LIGENT ROMANISTS.—Let no one suppose that the in telligent portion of the Roman Catholics do not estimate at its just value the policy which would fain win their con fidence by conferring favours upon their church. They regard it simply as an acknowledgment of their power, and a proclamation of the indifference of the minister to all religions. The creed that was persecuted when they were few, and of no political importance, is, they see, favoured, now that they have acquired station and influence in the empire ; and they will use the favours thus conferred with a resolute determination that they shall not divert them from the prosecution of any of their cherished objects. We are ourselves acquainted with an instance in which a Roman Catholic lady, having been congratulated by a friend upon the great advantages conferred upon her church by the British minister, observed, that she did not see that any great thanks were due to him for his favours ; that she could not regard them as anything but tardy and imperfect justice; that if he acknowledged her creed to be the true one, what was done was too little; if not, it was too much. We confess that we were much struck by this little incident, and could not help regarding it at the time as a very striking illustration of the manner in which the new measures will be received by the intelli gent Romanists in Ireland.—Dublin University Mag. AN AUSTRALIAN ' S NOTION OF HIS STATE AFTER DEATH.—Mr. Moorhouse, who has taken great pains in his inquiries among the natives around Adelaide upon questions of this nature, states that they believe in a soul or spirit (ilpitukutyal, separate and distinct altogether from the body, which at death goes to the west, to a large pit, where the souls of all men go. When all are dead, the souls will return to their former place of resi6nce, go to the graves of their forsaken bodies, and enquire, " Are these the bodies that we formerly inhabited ?" The bodies will reply, "We are not dead, but will living." Tile souls and bodies will not be re-united ; the former will live in trees during the day, and at night alight on the ground, and eat grubs, lizards, frogs, and kangaroo rats, but not vegetable food of any description. The souls are never again to die, but will remain about the size of a boy eight years old. The most singular belief (said also to be general) is, that white people in Australia are the souls and bodies of the black natives, who have risen from the dead, and re turned to re-visit the scenes and persons familiar to them in the former state of being. But the aborigines are quite astonished that the new comers do not seem to recognise either the scenes or the persons—not know e th h e a y ng l e iv m ed us a t n e d ffe d c i t ed a . n e T n i t i i e r y e o s b u l p iv p i o o s n e, of ho fo w r e m v e e r r, even their parent s or th e i r c hild ren — or th e places where th th in a g t s t .— he , Eyre's Journal. THE FUNERAL SERVICE IN THE DIN OF LONDON. — The ceremony went on, the solemn sentences tuned with the music of eternal hopes, fitfully heard through cries of " chairs to mend," and " live mackarel." The awful voice of Death seemed scoffed, derided, by the reckless bully, Life. The prayer that embalmed poor human dust for the judgment, seemed as measured gibberish that could never have a meaning for . those who hurried to and fro, as though immortality dwelt i❑ their sinews. And that staid and serious-looking man, with upturned eyes and sonorous voice, clad in a robe of white, and holding an opened book,—why, what was he? Surely, he was playing some strange part in a piece of business in which business men could have no interest. The ce remony is not concluded, and now comes an adventurous trader with a dromedary and a monkey on its back, the well-taught pug, with "doffed feathered cap, sagaciously soliciting halfpence. And there, opposite the church yard, the prayer of the priest coming brokenly to his ears, is a tradesman smiling at his counter, ringing the coin, and hardly snuffing the Golgotha at his door, asking what article he next shall have the happiness to show. And thus in London highways do Death and Life shoulder each other. And Life heeds not the foul, impertinent warning; but at the worst thinks Death, when so very near, a nuisance : it is made by familiarity a nasty, vul gar, unhealthy thing ; it is too close a neighbour to be come a aoleranity.—Douglas Jerrold's Magazine. _,`VALUE OF LIFE IN NEW ORLEANS.O—DUring that period of the year in which the produce of the West is principally brought.to Orleans, the banks of the river are literally covered with thousands of bales of cotton, bar rels of molasses, hogsheads of sugar, and cases of various other articles, which remain wholly or in part thus ex posed during the space of some weeks. The merchants and agents to whom these goods are consigned, provide private armed watchmen to protect them during the night against the negroes, a race of people who appear to in herit a peculiar liking for sugar and treacle in particular. Probably this penchant Is considerably increased by the practice adopted by some slave-owners of allowing their slaves to " hire themselves out" at a certain sum per week or month, that is, to pay their owners that sum in the place of service, and make as much more as they can for themselves, and it is more than probable, that some considerable portion of the sweet fabric used in the ma nufacture of these articles of juvenile traffic, is extracted by night from the barrels and hogsheads lying upon the Levee. A man in my neighbourhood, who used to wear a great coat made of coarse green baize, and, who con sequently looked much like the personification of Spring, as it appears in Dutch Guiana, was one of the night watchers upon the Levee, who, during my stay, chanced to shoot a slave in the act of filling a bag with sugar out of a hogshead which he and an accomplice had broken open for that purpose. " And what," said I, "if the negro should happen to die?" " I shall have to stand my trial, that's all, and of course be acquitted, as I have done no more than my duty. The fellow ran away when I called to him to surrender, and of course I fired." Had this slave died, the trial, I believe, would have been gone through more for the purpose of recovering damages for his loss, than for any purpose of criminal justice.— Simmond's Colonial Magazine. CITY CHURCHYARDS. — It has been held to be a wise, deep-thoughted ordinance of the Egyptians that at their banquets was served a skeleton, that, in its grim naked ness, it might preach their coming nakedness to all the revellers : that it might show their future outline of bone, when called to lay aside the fleshly garment, laced and interlaced with so divine a mystery of nerves that, subtle as light, conveys the bliss of being. And so was a skull made a moralist; and solemn were the mute exhortations falling from its grinning jaws ; profound its comic teach ing. For, apart from association, the expression of a bare skull has, to ourselves at least, nothing in it serious : nay, there has always seemed to us a quaint cheerfulness in it. The cheek-bones look still puckered with a smile, as though contracted when it flung aside the mask of life, and caught a glimpse of the on-coming glory. And the Egyptians are lauded for their dinner skeleton. Indeed, at the first thought, it seems a notable way of teaching sobriety and good manners. Yet, could we come at the truth—could we know the very heart of the banquet, throbbing after an hour or so, with hot wine,—we should know, past dispute, how grievously the great Preacher Bone had failed in his purpose. We should hear of quick-witted Egyptians making unseemly jokes at bis gaunt nakedness ; we should see one reprobate idolater of leeks capping death's-head with an empty bowl, even as a boy ventures a joke upon his sleeping schoolmaster. We should see another—a fine young Theban—spirting wine in the cavernous eye-holes of Death, bidding him look double for the libation. But of these jests we hear nothing; we only hear of the wisdom of the whereabout of the skeleton, and nothing of the affronts that—we would almost swear to the fact—its familiarity with the living drew upon it. And therefore—oh, legislators ! remove city churchyards from the shop-doors of citizens. Your goodly purpose has altogether failed. By huddling the dead with the living, it was doubtless your benign intention to place a lesson continually in the eyes of tra ding men—to show them how vain and fleeting was even a cent. per cent. profit —to prove that however thumping , the balance on the books, Death, with his dirty, grave yard fingers, might any minute come and wipe it out. The thing has not succeeded. How many hackney-coach stands have with the best intention been established near churchyards!

THE MUSCLES OF THE MlND.—Fraser's Magazine, in noticing a work published in 1649, by John Buiwer, surnamed the Chirosopher, entitled. " Pathomyotomia. or a Dissection of the Significative Muscles of the Affec tions of the Mind," &c., commences thus:— • " • Is there an art To find the mind's construction in the face ?' " We have all heard theanecdote of Socrates and the physiognomist, which in our opinion, however, proves no. thing but that the latter had not got beyond the rudi ments of his art. Being asked to decipher the face of the wisest and most virtuous of men, he could discover nothing in his features but folly and vice. He imagined—for we connot accept the excuse of Socrates for him—that defor mity of visage necessarily indicated deformity of mind, and could not detect the expression of the saint beaming forth from the coarse persona (prosopon) of the man So crates. The ancients indeed generally, in their treatises or scattered observations on physiognomy, seem in a great measure to have sought for indications of the mind's cha racter from those parts which were most likely to resist the impressions of passion and the plastic operations of the soul. Hippocrates and Aristotle, among others, lay more stress on the conformation of the nose, the size of the eye, the greater or less protruberance of the forehead, the co lour of the hair, than o❑ the subtle variations of form which distinguish one mouth, for example, from another; and they have not been without their followers in modern times. Gaspar Taliacottus, a hose wonderful achievements are celebrated in Hudibras,' and who ought to have known something of noses, since he made a good many with his own bands, appears to have imagined that his fa vourite feature was the palace of the mind, whose shape could be ascertained, like that of an ankle through a silk stocking, by the most cursory inspection. A nose with a sharp edge, he says, indicates aptitude for anger; a thick and depressed nose denotes most vicious inclinations; a full, solid, and obtuse nose, like that of lions and Molos sian dogs, is a sig❑ of courage and audacity ; a hooked and aquiline nose reveals a royal and magnificent mind, but a crooked soul is betrayed by a nose that is bent and on one side. 'these, and such as these, are the conclusions to which his nasal studies led Taliacottus, who doubtless as sisted in forming the theory of Walter Shandy, Esq. However this may be, we must venture to dissent tofu ccalo from these conclusions, especially as such a theory pushed to extremes might lead to very serious conse quences. Already has the sage Valesius, in his ` Sacred Philosophy,' proposed to introduce the science cf physio grfomy into the courts of law. When two persons, he says, are brought up before a judge, let him unhesitatingly select the most ill-favoured of them, and put him to the torture : there is no doubt about the matter ; rack him till he confesses—he is the villain ; woe betide the morn ing that he was born with so ugly a face ! We beg to ap peal from the decision, and can scarcely allow even Lava ter himself to be a good substitute fora jury of twelve stu pid honest Englishmen. In spite of all this, however, we maintain that the language of the passions is written upon the countenance; that its character, though obscure, in deed, and known only like the Egyptian hieroglyphics to a few, are not perfect enigmas; and that Gregory Nazian zen, in painting the expression and gestures of Julian the Apostate, furnishes us with ample materials for forming a conception of the construction of his mind. But to un derstand this language it is necessary to be acquainted with the alphabet in which it is written; not merely to glance at the letters on the page of the human counte nance, which would be like attempting to discover the me chanism of a telegraph by seeing it work, but to take them one by one, analyse their nature, study their con formation, and attain a clear idea of the force and signifi cation of each." THE DEATH Or MozAnT.—Throughout his illness music was still a subject of the greatest interest to him. The " Requiem" lay almost continually on his bed, and Siissmayer was frequently at his side receiving instruc tions as to effects, the production of which by au orches tra he could never expect to superintend personally. One of his last efforts was an attempt to explain to Siissmayer an effect of the drums in the " Requiem ; " he was ob served in doing this to blow out his cheeks. and express his meaning by a noise intelligible to the musician. At two o'clock on the same day, which was that of his death, he had been visited by some performers of Shickaneder's theatre, his intimate friends. The ruling passion was now strongly exemplified. He desired the score of the " Requiem" to be brought, and it was sung by his visit ers round his bed—himself taking the alto part. Schack sang the soprano, Hofer, his brother-in-law, the tenor, and Gorl the bass. They had proceeded as far as the first bars of the Lacrynzosa, when Mozart was seized with a violent fit of weeping, and the score was put aside. Throughout this day he was possessed with a strong pre sentiment of the near approach of death, and now gave himself up, relinquishing every hope that he bad hitherto occasionally cherished. His physicians, indeed, thought unfavourably of his case from the first ; and one of them, Dr. Sallaba, some days previously, had pronounced him beyond all human aid. It is remarkable that Mozart, notwithstanding the religious principles in which he had been educated, and which it is believed he always pre served, made no application for spiritual aid in this ex tremity ; nor did the priests offer to bestow the last sa craments of their church upon the dying man. As he had not solicited their attendance, they left him to depart without the viaticum. It was late in the evening of De cember 5, 1791, that his sister-in-law returned, but only to witness his dissolution. She had left him so much better, that she did not hasten to him. Her own account may now be given. " How shocked was I, when my sister, usually so calm and self-possessed, met me at the door, and in a half-distracted manner said, ' God be thanked that you are here. Since you left he has been so ill that I never expected him to outlive this day. Should he be so again he will die to-night. Go to him, and see how lie is.' As I approached his bed he called to me—' It is well that you are here : you must stay to-night and see me die.' I tried as far as I was able to banish this impression, but he replied, The taste of death is already on my tongue—l taste death; and who will be near to support my Constance if you go away ?' I re turned to my mother for a few moments to give her in telligence, for she wa s anx i ous l y wa iti ng , as she might else have supposed the fatal event already over; and then hurried back to my disconsolate sister. Siissmayer was standing by the bedside, and on the counterpane lay the ' Requiem,' concerning which Mozart was still speaking and giving directions. He now called Isis wife, and made her promise to keep his death secret for a time from every one but Albrechtsberger, that he might thus have an ad vantage over other candidates for the vacant office of kapellmeister to St. Stephen's. His desire in this respect was gratified, for Albrechtsberger received the appoint ment. As he looked over the pages of the Requiem' for the last time, he said, with tears in his eyes, Did I not tell you that I was writing this for myself?'
