Parliament was this day prorogued by his Majesty in person, the session, which cominenoetl on the 19th of ,February, last, having been protracted to the unusual extent of precisely seven months., The attendance of ladies was not near so numerous as we have been accustomed to witness on similar occasions, a'circum stance to the production of which the lateness of the season and the cold and uncomfortable state of the weather must have greatly contributed. At one o'clock Lord Denman sat as speaker. Prayers were read by the Bishop of Bristol. • • Amongst the peers who had assembled, we observed the Duke of Buccleuch, the Marquisses of Ormonde and Chohnondley; the Earls of Roden, Rosslyn, Devon, Shaftesbury, Leitrim, Denbigh, and Minto; Viscounts Melbourne, Duncannon, and Canterbury; and Lords Wharncliffe, Fitzgerald, Lyndhurst, Teynham, Straffbrd, Glenelg, and Auckland. A. great number of the , foreign „ministers were stationed im mediately behind the treasury bench. The Earl' of RODEN - piesented petitions from a parish in Somersetshire against , ' any measure that would have the effect of dividing the united sburch of England and Ireland ; from Mr. Robert Hall, of Norfolk-street, Strand, to the same effect; from Drbgheda, against the Irish municipal corporations bill; and_ from the guild of St. John the Baptist, Dublin, praying their lordships to preserve the protestant religion iu Ireland, and not to sanction any measure that would be the means of de stroying the union between the two countries. At a quarter before two o'clock the discharge of artillery and the clangour of the trumpets announced the approach of his Majesty, who entered the house attended the usual cortege. Viscount Melbourne bore the sword of state, the Earl of Shaftes bury the cup of maintenance. The commons were immediately summoned to attend, and the speaker, accompanied by a considerable number of mem bers, soon after appeared at the bar. The Sessicza delivered himself to the following effect: — "May it please your majesty, we, your majesty's faithful com mons, attend in obedience to your majesty's commands at the close of this session, a session, also, of no common or ordinary circumstances.. Your majesty, in opening this session, was graciously pleased to say, that the estimates, which your ma- JestybadWen graciously pleased to direct to be laid before the House of Commons, were lower in amount than on any former occasion within your majesty's experience. The estimates still continue to bear the same character, evincing a general and sincere desire to advance in a steady and progressive manner the promotion of economy; . so far as that object may . be effected without impairing the etliciency of the public service, toward's which the most anxious attention has been, directed. Arrange ments—in consequence of that generous and noble act, the abo lition of slavery—have rendered it necessary to effect a loan of £15,000,000, to afford that compensation which was to be awarded to the owners of slaves; and it is most consolatory and gratifying to state that this loan was formed under circumstances and on terms which afford fresh proof of the stability and pros perity of the credit of the empire. Unhappily, sire, the condi tion of Ireland has not been such as to make it expedient to leave to the people of that portion of the empire the unrestricted benefits of a free constitution. An act has therefore been passed, by which provision is m,:de for the prompt trial and punishment of parties in cases where disturbances occur, and powers have been granted, authorisieg strong measures to be adopted in places where an infraction of the peace of the •country has been committed. A measure thus uniting moderate provisions with a vigorous enforcement of the law may reasonably be expected to be efficient in commanding general respect, because its provisions are drawn up with due consider ation for those against whom they maybe directed, and because, being conceived in a mild but firm spirit and temper, they are the better calculated to preserve the peace of the country. The means of improving the municipal corporations of England and Wales—of establishing an efficient police—and of forming proper local courts, have occupied much time, and we have studied, with unwearied attention, how we couldd most success fully adopt a plan suited to the increased intelligence, wealth, and the numbers of the people, hew they mig,ht most beneficially exercise the right of popular election, secure the services of those who were best qualified for the performance of public duties, and provide for the impartial administration of justice, the maiutenance of order, and the enforcement of the law. These are amongst the . great questions considered by us iu the course of this long session, and your majesty's faithful com mons will be amply repaid for their protracted and laborious exertions if their deliberations have conduced to the real con tentment of the people, and to the renewed vigour and perma nent security and. establishmentof the important and invaluable institutions of the country. I now, on the part of your ma jesty's faithful commons, present your majesty with the last bill of the session. It is entitled 'Au act to apply the sum of money out of the consolidated fund, and the surplus of the ways and means, to the service of the year 1835, and to appropriate the supply granted hi the present session of parliament,' to which we, with humility, pray your majesty's royal assent." The appropriation bill, the capital punishments bill, the fines and recoveries bill, the letters patent bill, and the grand juries (Ireland) bill, then received the royal assent in the usual form. His MAJESTY (who looked remarkably well, healthy, and ruddy) then delivered the following most gracious speech to both houses of parliament: — 't MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, " I find with great satisfaction that the state of the public bu siness enables me to relieve you from further attendance, and from the pressure of those duties which you have performed with so much zeal and assiduity. I receive from all foreign powers satisfactory assurances of their desire to maintain with me the most friendly under standing, and I look forward with confidence to the preserva tion of the general.peace, which . has been, and will be, the ob ject of my constant solicitude. " I lament that the civil contest in the northern provinces of Spain has not yet been brought to a termination ; but, taking a deep interest in the welfare of the Spanish. monarchy, I shall continue to direct to that quarter my most anxious attention, in concert with the three powers with whom I concludedlhe treaty of quadruple allii.nce; and I have, in furtherance of the'objects of that treaty, exercised the power vested in me by the I)ifisla ture, and have granted permission to my subjects to engage in the service of the queen of Spain. " I have concluded with Denmark, Sardinia, aid Sweden, fresh conventions, calculated to prevent the traffics in African slaves; I hope soon to receive the ratification of a similar treat 3. which has been signed with Spain. "I am engaged in negotiations with other powers in Europe and in South America for the same purpose, and I trust that ere long the united efforts of all civilized nations will suppress and extinguish this traffic. " I perceive with entire approbation that you have directed your attention to the regulation of municipal corporations in England and Wales, and I have cheerfully given my assent to : the bill which you have passed for that Purpose. I cordially concur in this important measure, which is calculated to allay discontent, to promote peace and union, and to procure for those communities the advantages of responsible government. " I greatly rejoice that the internal condition' of Ireland has been such as to have permitted you to substitute for the neces sary severity of a law which has been suffered to expire, enact ments of a milder character. No part of my duty is more grate ful to my feelings than the mitigation of a penal statute in any case in whiCh it can be effected consistently with the mainten ance bf order and tranquillity. "GENTLEME:I,OF THE'HOUSE OF COMMONS, "Ip . ank yoU fdr the readinesi with which you have voted the "You have provided not only for the expenses of the year, and for the interest upon the large sum awarded to the owners L of slaves inmy colonial possessions, but also for several unex pected and peculiar claims upon the justice and liberality of the r nation. " It is most gratifying to observe that not only have these de mands been met without addidional taxation, but that you have made some further progress in reducing the burdens of my peo ple. _ _ _ . " I am enabled to congratulate you that the terms upon which the loan for the compensation to the proprietors of slaves has been obtained afford conclusive evidence of the flourishing state of public credit, and of that general confidence which is the re sult of a determination to fulfil the national engagements, and to maintain inviolable the public faith. "MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN. " I know that I may securely rely upon your loyalty and pa friotism, and I feel confident that in returning to your respec tive connties, and in resuming those functions which you dis charge with so much advantage to the community,• you will se commend to all classes of our countrymen obedience to the law, attachment to the constitution, and a 'spirit of temperate amendment, which, under Divine •Providence, are the surest means of preserving the tranquillity and increasing the pros perity which this country enjoys." • The Loan SPEAKER (Lord Denman,) by his Majesty's com mand, said— "MY LORbS AND GENTLRMRN, " It is his Majesty's royal will and pleasure, that this parlia ment be prorogued to Tuesday, the 10th day of November next, to be then here holden; and this parliament is accordingly pro rogued to Tuesday; the 10th day of November next." HOUSE OF COMMONS, THURSDAY. The Speaker took the chair at one o'clock. After some petitions had been presented, The ATTORNEY-GEMERAL gave notice, that he should next session bring in a bill to abolish imprisonment for debt, unless there was a prospect of the measure being introduced in th e other house of parliament. POOR LAW ACT. . An IloNova a nix fil EM Btu having put a question on th e sub ject of the new poor law act, 111 r S. Itics said he had received no information on th e subject, - end`could.therefore give no answer. The hon, member would fin4l,tbe ptdorsin an authenticated report which had been laid on the table of the house. ' TIMBER DUTIES. G: F. Yousto presenteld petition from Mr. William Tin dal, chattnian of the Shipowners' Society, praying the house not to sanction the recommendations of the committee that lately sat on the subject of timber duties. The petition was only that of an individual. (said the hon. member,) but this gentleman was not only a person of the highest respectability and ability, .but was possessed of the best opportunities of fiecoming ac quainted with the sentiments of shipowners in general. lie (Mr. Young) entirely agreed in the prayer of the petition, and also in the truth of the statement, that the depression among the shipping interest still continued unabated. The colonial timber trade, at all times worthy of great attention, from its extent and value, would especially undergo still greater depression if the recommendations of the .committee were carried into effect. Not only would a very considerable portion of British tonnage be displaced, but ten thousand seamen thrown out of employ, who would then have no other resource but to enlist in the service of foreign countries, and so tend to increase their power to the detriment of ours. The alterations proposed were unjust and impolitic, for the burdens and impositions the shipping interest was now labouring under were not for their own advantage, but for the assumed benefit of the community at large, which, taking the petitions for evidence; had not demanded this change. Sea men were nowbeing trained in the merchant service in readiness to serve their country when the occasion required it, without being a shilling's expense to the nation, but swelling the national wealth and forming a remarkable contrast to our great military establishments, thatcost such enormous sums of money, without animmediate advantage being derived from them. He was perfectly certain great delusion prevailed on the subject; and if hon. gentlemen during the recess condescended to make a refer ence to the evidence, they would find that a great portion of the timber import e d f rom America was equal in quality to that coining . irons the Baltic; and that the system et , present existing supplied this country with the bestportion of the Baltic timber, the refuse going t o other nations. Should the Change take place we should b e d e l uge d w ith i n f er i or ti m ber from the Baltic. With reference to the whole proceedings before the committee, not withstanding his respect for the individual members-of it, he took. the libet ty of saying they were a mere farce, for it had not been appointed in order to elicit information upon which legis lation might be,grottuded, but clearly to take off the responsi bility of the measure from those who ought to have proposed it, if they thought it just, and to throw it upon the committee of the house. The composition of the committee he - had before had occasion to express his sentiments upon, when two members were at his suggestion added to the thirty-one, in order in some degree . to restore the balance of opinion. When the list of it was first read he had ventured to prophesy how all,,with tha exception of five, would vote, and, excepting in one case, and one case alone, he had been right in his anticipation. Many of • them could not have considered the evidence, as they did not attend the committee ; and nine days' arrears of that evidence ,were actually not in the hands of any of the members at the tiwe they agreed to their resolutions. He was persuaded, too, that if any hon. gentleman looked into it be would find the reso lutions contrary to the evidence, notwithstanding that the great bulk had been s u mmone d a nd produced by those favourable to the principle of the resolution. MESSAGE FROM 1415 MAJESTY. The Yeoman Usher of the black rod rapped three times at the door, and advancing to the table with the usual reverences, said —" Mr. Speaker, his Majesty commands the attendance of this hon. house immediately in the house of peers." The Speaker then quitted the chair, and, followed by the members went to obey the summons of the black rod.—(See lords' report.) In about a quarter of an hour the Speaker returned, and tak ing,► his seat at the table read his Majesty's most gracious speech, the members standing in the meanwhile, and baying concluded, the members severally shook hands with the right hon, gentle pan, and immediately left the house. AMERICAN PAPERS. , NEW On t.zatss, AUG. B.—A heavy gale-commenced from the north east on Thtirsday evening, blowing all that night, and pretty smartly all day yesterday. No damage, we believe, was done among the shipping lying at the Levee or in the river. A small schooner, name unknown, sunk on the lake about a mile and a half from the end of the Ponchartrain railroad, the crew and passengers of which went safely ashore in the boat. Whence she came or how loaded, we have not been informed. Another schooner sunk alongside the railroad. At th e mouth of the new caual it is said a - barge sunk. The waters of the Pontchartrain.were higher than at any time since the gale of 1831,—0n a level with the railroad; and dashing over it. The waves were running mountains high, and the wild commotion among them yesterday morning afforded a beautiful, almost a sublime spectacle. Boats that were due yesterday - and last night from the opposite shores were probably delayed by the roughness of the day. The weather of this month is usually squally, but it is earlier than common for gales of wind. The temlioat along the coast and in the gulf is likely to have been pretty Severe. RENCONTRE. — Yesterday evening as our fellow citizen G. Y. Bright, was returning home, he was assaulted by . his brother in-law, Mr. Manpassant, who, after some abusive language, struck Mr. Bright with his cane, and was in the act of drawing a pistol, when Mr. 8., who had fallen down, recovered himself, drew a pistol, and shut the assailant. Mr. Bright is well known as one of our most worthy citizens. The affair which caused the unfortunate circumstances above, arose from difficulties in the arrangement of family affairs. Mr. Bright immediately sur rendered himself to the proper authorities.—American. AN IRISH DEFINITION OF A FREE COUNTRY.—An Irishman named George Ivl‘Gluskey was yesterday arrested and brought to the Upper Police-office, charged with an assault and battery. It appeared that be had had some quarrel with one of the work men at a building in the neighbourhood, and whilst the man was mounting a ladder M`Gluskey threatened to send him " straight to destruction," and made a blow at him with a mor tar hue, which fortunately missed its object, or the man would have been probably killed on the spot. The intended victim took cure not to wait for another attack, and immediately made his escape. M'Gluskey being disappointed in offering up his companion to one infernal god, went and made an offering of himself to another, and was in a state of complete drunken phrenzv when Al r. King brought him before Alderman Palmer, who told him he must be imprisoned until he became sober. " Is not this a free country ?" demanded •M`Gluskey. " In what respect ?" asked the alderman. "As to conscience and sobriety," replied M‘Gluskey. " What do you mean by that ?" ' " I mean that it's a country where every man may think and drink just as he likes; that is what I call a free country." Put him in a cell until he gets sober," said the alderman. And M`Gluskey, much against his inclination, received demon stration that he mistook the meaning of "a free country." CANADA PAPERS. UPPHR CANADA, AUGUST 19.—We regret to learn that Jedediah Jackson, Esq. of Brantford, was unfortunately killed near that town by the falling of a tree on Thursday last.

LOWfikt CANADA, AUGUST 20.—We have been favoured with the following particulars of the visit of the Indian Chief, Estona quet Muck Coonce, (who arrived from Loudon on the 7th inst., by the ship Mary,) to his brother red men residing at Caughna wage. On arriving at that place on Sunday last, Estonaquet presented a letter, with which he had been furnished by the lion. Mr. MiGill to Dr. De Lorimer, the resident interpreter, who accordingly assembled the chiefs of the village. A council was then held, at which it was intimated by the Chippewa chief; that he had been desired by their Great 'Father to make known to his children of Gaughuawaga his wish and desire, that as they all had one common origin, they should live in peace and friendship together. Estonaquet spoke with great fluency, and with the grace of a practical orator, both in the French and eniPeawa languages. At the couclusion of his speech, the parties shook hands cordially together. The whole then pro cedded to chinch, and having returned ft- en thence, a second conned was held, and Estonaquet having incited his brethrento dine iu Montreal with him on the' following day, be departed finder a salute, followed to the water's edge by a large concourse of Indians and others, who had assembled on this novel and in teresting occasion. On the following day the parties met at , dinner, after which a council was held, and the pipe of peace was smoked out of the splendid tomahawk presented to the Chip- ' pawa Chief by Sir Augustus D'Este. Estonaquet set out on his Journey to the St. Clair on Tuesday last, having previously sent forward the numerous articles which had been presented to him in England by government, - and by several benevolent individa ale, the value of which, we are assured, is considerably above EMI —Montreal Gazette. Tug Caors.—Many fields of wheat in the several.parisltes round Quebec are suffering by the chrysalis of the fly; in those cases, about one-third of the crop has been destroyed. In other fields the fly seems to have completely spared it, and the crop is excellent. Some barley has been reaped and housed, and is a good crop. The oats promise very well; the crop is much above the average in most places. 1. he hay is nearly all housed, and is the most abundant crop for twenty-five to thirty years. The root crops are generally very indifferent, and will be very shole; the turnips have altogether failed, generally from the attacks of the purceron • the potatoe is both back Ward and thin ; the other vegetables —cabbages, carrots, beets, &c., sown in the field, are also a failure. The gardens have suffered lunch from insects ; end, where the greatest attention has not been paid to them, vegetables are scarce. The gooseberries have been abun dant; the cherries, currants, &c., rather less than usual; me lons and grapes will not ripen without an unexpectedly warm season; cucumbers will be abundant, and have been eateu for a few days past; the plums and apples will be under an average crop. The fly, in the vicinity of Quebec, has done very consi derable damage to the wheat, which would have been otherwise a fair crop, notwithstanding the very late season, as it is now generally beyond the influence of frost. The same grain is, however, still exposed to frost in the lower parts of the district, and continues to show the well established fact, that the climate is ill suited for its culture. It is rather unusual that, while we have been free from frost, the greater part of the middle United States suffered much from it, between the Ist and the sth of this month.—Quebec Gazette. SOUTH AMERICAN PAPERS. - - - BOGOTA, July 3, 1835.—Everything is going on now very quietly in this country. The last congress has been assiduously employed in promoting the reforms, of which there is so greit necessity in New Grenada, as in the rest of the South American republics. Among the laws passed by the last legislature which deserve particular attention, are the abolition of the tax called Alcabala—the free stipulation of interest in lending money—the appropriation of funds to the payment of a part of the public debt—the granting of bounties to the exportation of some na tional productions—the allotment of land for the erection of cemeteries for deceased protestants—the obligation imposed on those who aspire to the priesthood, of obtaining previously an university degree. The same congress, by decree of the 27th of tlay last, granted a privilege to the Baron of Thierry, for open ing a canal across the isthmus of Panama, and., by_uother of the 25th of the same month they declare free to the commerce of all nations the districts of Portobello, in the Atlantic, and Panama, in the Pacific. The concessions granted in these de crees are as liberal as could be desired, and they are a proof of the straightforwardness and decision with which the welfare of the country is sought here. This conduct is in perfect contrast with the jealousy of the Spanish government, which of yore for bade under the pain of death even to speak about this matter. Communications of a pacific character have been received here from the government of the Equator. A national convention must meet in Ambato (a city at some distance from Quito ) ) whose principal object is to place the public administration in the constitutional course, away from which the past troubles have driven it. Pcntsxsaßuco, July 17, 1835.—This place has been thrown into considerable excitement in consequence of the assassination of two persons in the "Tribunal dc‘ Jury," while it was iu ses sion trying an important case, and filled with people ; some •rutlian scoundrel discharged a pistol with the intention of killing the counsel of one of the parties, the ball of which killed almost instantly two innocent persons. This affair happened at about nine o'clock at night, while the Tribunal was crowded with peo ple, and as you will readily conceive, the confusion was, not inconsiderable, many jumped from the windows, which resulted in broken limbs, &c. A Puttsutr.—No human being, however exalted his rank and fortune, however enlarged and cultivated his understanding, can long be happy without a pursuit. Life is a ladder on which we clime from hope to hope, and, by expectation, strive to ascend to enjoyments; but he who fancies he has reached his highest hope, is miserable indeed, or who enjoys the utmost of his wishes; for many who have been most successful in their respective undertakings, have given the gloomiest description of the emptiness of human pleasures. The pursuit alone can yield true happiness; and they most trifling object that has power to fascinate the hopes of man is worthy his attention. The bliss we covet seems, at distant view, To all superior, but when once possessed, It cloys—we spurn it—and another call. A FLARS-CP AMONGST Till& UNSTADIPED DEVlLS.—Messrs. flume and Roebuck will be astonished to hear that whilst they were flaring-up in England about the uristamped press, and lauding the American tablecloths of advertisements, a real flare up took place in New York, by which no less than twenty news paper establishments, with a quantu m s t u ff o f devils, were fairly burnt out—we might say should out. This was getting the red mark with a vengeance, and makes the American press still lower than the much columniated press of England, for it ex tinguishes it at once. New York will have rest for a short time. THE NEW BA ILEY,—On Thursday, Mr. O'Connell being in town, there were only sir prisoners brought up for examination. The pickpockets would no doubt be emiloyed in doing honour to the beggarman. ASSIZE INTE LLIGEZ7CE GLASGOW ASSIZES TRIAL FOR MURDER.—On Wednesday last George Campbell was-con victed of the murder of Mary Watters, by'llocking her down with his fists, and afterwards kicking and trampling ou her body. The prisoner cohabited with a daughter of the de ceased. The outrage appears to have been caused by the hand of savage madness which the use of ardentspirits produces upon some minds. While - the judge, Lord Meadowbank, was passing the sentence of death upon the prisoner, he frequently interrupt ed - him by execrations of the most horrid and appalling character. The sentence was ordered to be executed on the 29th instant. EXPLOSION OF THE EARL GREY STEAMER.-Hugh David son, engineer, was charged With culpable homicide, in so far as, ou the ;64th of July, 1835, the steamboat Earl Grey, of which the said Hugh Davidson was then engineer, -being on her passage from Cowal, in Argyleshire, to Glasgow ; and having stopped at Greenock, and been made fast to the quay of Greenock, and having remained there for a quarter of an hour, during which the steam was rapidly generating in the boiler; and it being a usual and necessary precaution for the safo management of a steam engine, and the duty of the engineer, to take off the pres sure from the safety valve while the vessel is stopped on her voyage ; the said Hugh Davidson did, during the whole or greater part of the time that the Earl Grey steam-vessel re mained at the quay of Greenock, culpably and recklessly neglect to take off the pressure from the safety valve, or allow the steatn to escape iu any safe and proper manner, in consequence of which neglect the boiler of the said vessel was caused to burst with a violent explosion, and several of the crew and passengers on board of the said vessel, and others of the lieges, were there by bereaved of life. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Neill WMillan and William Siminonds were examined as to the consequences_ of the explosion. . • Mr. King, of Port Glasgow, was on board the Earl Grey, along with .Mrs. King, at the time of the accident—remained sitting ou deck when the vessel touched at Greenock—was at. a distance of four or five yards from the funnel, at the break of the quarter deck—heard no steam escape, and was satisfied that he must have hetird it it' it had—was thrown into the water along with Mrs. King, whose life he saved—previous to the explosion heard a ragged sound underneath, resembling tropical thunder. William Brown, mason, Greenock, was going down to the quay before the explosion--remarked that no steam was escap ing by the waste-pipe about, five minutes before the explosion— remarked this at the time—saw the boat coming into the quay— could not speak to all the time she lay, but positively saw no escape of steam for five minutes prior to the explosion. Cross-examined.—Heard the bell ring for the vessel to sail, about five or six minutes before the explosion. David Smith, engineer, in the employment of Mr. Napier, the proprietor and builder of the Earl Grey—the boat was built ebour three years before the explosion—the engine and ma chinery were prepared in Mr. Napier's work—the engine was a ciiininou double engine, not a condensing engine-4 new boiler had been put in about six or seven weeks before the explosion, the work of which was superintended by Mr. Mansell—the safety-valve was upon the common construction—it was governed by a lever, which is not so common as putting perpendicular weight upon it—the lever communicated with the engineer's room, which gave the engineer full control over it to shut or open it—the engine, to the best of witness's belief (and he paid particular attention to it,) was well constructed, and the boiler was of the usual strength, and well made—the boiler had no in ternal stays ' horizontally and perpendicularly — they were in the habit of making such engines. Mr. Jardine, civil engineer, Edinburgh, has his attention fre quently directed to the power of steam-engines and boilers— aware that on a steam vessel stopping the steam should be allowed to escape—thought an attentive engineer should see that the steam be allowed' to escape—he ought to be aware from the noise caused by the escape of the steam whether it is escap ing sufficiently—in a case of pressure the readiest way of relief is a stroke backwards or forwards, but there are many other means. The witness expressed a number of other opinions, the results of his experience as an engineer. The declaration of the prisoner was read stating that he had been for five years an engineer in a Belfast vessel—that on the occasion libelled he had raised the lever, and allowed the steam ,to escape, to the same extent as usual —that he had seen a much , greater pressure on the boiler at ferries and elsewhere than while the vessel was lying at the quay—that he had received no instructions as to the time when the vessel should arrive in Glasgow, or as to the regulation of the speed—that nothing had occurred to injure the valve—and finally, that it was his con scientious opinion that the explosion had arisen from the insuf ficiency of the boiler. Exculpatory Proof.—Peter Sinclair, under-steward of the Earl Grey at the time of the explosion—while at the quay, observed the lever rising in the usual way—did not observe the steam escaping, but heard one sailor say to another that he could, not hear what he was saying for the noise of the steam—saw the lever rise immediately ou the arrival of the vessel—the noise was very great. - James Davidson, a fireman of the Earl Grey at the time of the explosion—it was the practice for one of the firemen to be beside the engineer, to assist in backing the engine—was beside Da vidson going into Greenock on that occasion—heard the engineer call to John M'Lachlan, the other fireman, to open the doors of the furnaces, for the purpose of slowing the fires—at the same time he saw the engineer raise the lever—went on deck on the arrival of the vessel—observed that the steam was blowing off at the time. Peter Hedderwick, shipbuilder in Greenock, was on the quay when the explosion occurred—waited till he heard two of the three bells rung for the vessel's departure—waited probably for about fifteen minutes—noticed steam blbwing off from the waste pipe —both heard and saw it distinctly, but could not say how long it lasted—it made a great noise, and seemed to blow strongly. By the public prosecutor.—Had left about three minutes be fore the explosion—was precise as to the tinie, as he returned to the quay again, and had walked over the distance since— could nut speak as to the escape of the steam from that time, but it was his impression that it had continued in his absence, as it did all the time he stood on the quay. John Turner, captain of the Clarence, knows the prisoner, who sailed with him about a twelvemonth—thought him U. care ful engineer, and was satisfied with the manner in which he conducted hirneolf—did not observe, the Earl Grey at the time of the explosion. Daniel White, quay policeman at Greenock, bad a conversa tion with the captain of the Earl Grey a few minutes before the explosion, regarding the difference between the quay . and town clucks—witness told the captain that he ought to wait for two minutes and a half longer than he intended, incase some indi viduals might be disappointed. This closed the evidence. The jury were then shortly ad dressed by the advocate-depute. Mr. J. M. Bell followed in a a very excellent defence for the prttioner, which was highly com plimented by Lord Gillies. His lordship briefly summed up, calling upon the jury to give the prisoner the benefit of whatever doubts might rest upon their minds after hearing the evidence. The jury now retired, and after being some time in delibera tion, returned a verdict, finding, by a considerable majority of their number, the prisoner " not guiltT." Lord Gillies remarked that he entirely concurred in the verdict, and after congratulat ing the pannel ou his acquittal, and expressing a hope that he would continue to perform his duties with caution, dismissed him from the bar. APPREHENSION OF THE CORK VITRIOL THROWERS. The Cork constitution of Thursday last announces that on the previous day the police of that city nad succeeded in capturing four men concerned in the savage and villainous transaction of which one of our late numbers contained an account. We take the following extract from the Constitution of Satur- day : We have great satisfaction in announcing the apprehension by Mr. Sheriff Foote, Mr. Mathis, and the Bridewell Guard, of six other persons, believed to have been connected with the recent cases of vitriol throwing. There are ten of these fellows now in custody, and we hope that such of them as shall be proved to have been concerned in these inhuman and atro cious attempts on the persons of unoffending and respectable citizens, will be so dealt with as to deter their unprincipled partners in crime from perseverance in their dangerous and desperate career. An effort was made by some of those friends of the unfortu nate, the gentry of The Chamber, to procure a mitigation of the sentence of transportation for life, passed at the Spring As sizes for a similar offence, on M`Carthy, who is now in the hulk at Cove, but we are happy to say it was made without success. The application, we believe, was througla Mr. D. Callaghan, but the lord-lieutenant's secretary replied that his excellency, having inquired into the circumstances of the case, saw no grounds for interfering with the sentence. This reply was given previous to the late cases having been reported to government. With respect to this M'Carthy, it is not a little singular that, though the trial of this man took place as far back as the Spring Assizes —though his guilt was most clearly and incontroverti bly established; and though every other convict similarly sen tenced has long since been sent out of the country, he is still nprmitted to remain. And why is this? Can it be because that the offence of which he was convicted was committed on the person of an individual who, at the election just their passed, had voted for the conservative candidates? We hope that no such consideration as this is permitted to interfere with the awards of justice. Mr. Herrick, the attack on whom we mentioned on Saturday last, has, we are sorry to hear, lost altogether the use of one eye, and is likely to lose that of the other. Hew can such sa vages hope to be countenanced in their diabolical deeds by any honest or humtne man ? The whole comiltiftity should unite against them, and if possible put them down. A publican, in whose house a case of pistols, with some pow der and ball, belonging to these miscreants, was found, has been apprehended and is now in Bridewell. - - Among the prisoners there is one fellow of a daring and de termined character. He was in custody some vears since for the murder of an unfortunate man from Mallow, but discharged .proclaniation, no witnesses having ventured to prosecute. 'the man was a baker, and the murder was committed on Ham mon (I' s Marsh. Nothing could be better devised than were the arrangethents by means of which the prisoners have been apprehended. The very tinker from whom the saucepans which contained the vi triol were purchased, has been discovered, and is kept in cus tody in order that his evidence may be made use of on the pro secution. FEMALES IN INDlA.—Ladies are never seen walking to gether in a ball-room; and though the most elegant female can scarcely preserve a graceful appearance while supported on each side by a male arm, it is the custom in India, and the ex hibition must be made upon pain of incurring the imputation of desiring a tete-a-tete. Attention and flattery will usually recon cile a woman to the loss of th e so ciety of her own sex ; but by many the privation is severely felt—they miss the warm and cordial greetings, the delight of a re-union after brief absences, and the pleasing confidential chattering to which they have been accustomed in their native land. On the score of gaiety much is lost by the separation of the female portion of an assembly from each other, for nothing can be more formally de corous than the appearance of an Indian ball-room, where the promenaders move round in lugubrious order, and where cold and distant recognitions alone pass between intimate acquaint , ance. The.handlings, and shawlings, and tannings of male at tendants, which a lady must change perpetually if she would avoid the appearance of retaining regular cavalieri serventi, are poor substitutes for the group of gay girls with whom she was wont to fain in animated converse. At length, perchance, estranged from her own sex by long habit, she acquires,a dis taste for female society, and should she return to England will talk of India as a paradise, and feel neglected and miserable .when no longer supported by a troop of gentlemen.—Miss Roberts's Scenes of Ilindostan. How To PLEASE A CONGREGATION.— , A. little incident has occurred in France which we recommend to the attention of those who talk about the horrid tyranny.of the protestant church and the mild peaceable character of the popish priesthood. At Domgermain, near Nancy, a new cure having been appointed, came to take possession; but the congregation did not approve of him, upon which a bit of a row arose—the troops came to aid the priest, and coolly killed seven of his dearly-loved flock, be sides wounding twenty others, many of them mortally. We suppose Mr. O'Connell, who was so full of Ratbeormac, will nut perceive any harm in this Domgermain affair—it was to protect a popish priest, therefore highly proper. SEPTEME.Sh 15, 18:35„ R.

Music-Hall, Buld-street, 15th September, 1835. Zbt. Eiberpool aitanbarb. TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 15, 1835 • We havek,receired Demerara papers to the end of July, but they contain little matter that would be interesting - . to the generul reader. Our New York files reach to the 25th August. The murders which have recently taken place in many parts of the " land of liberty and equality" continue to be the subject of discussion in the journals; but it does not ap pear that the general government at Washington, or that any of the state authorities have adopted any legal mea- sures to investigate the origin of these infamous transac tions, and punish the guilty parties. Blood has been shed, but there is no avenging justice. Property is pil laged, and families are reduced to a state of penury and misery by a tyrannical mob, but there is no redress. If there be any laws at all in the United 'States they, are 'at the present moment either a dead letter, or th 4 cannot be enforced, and where suck licentiousness previils it is impossible that true liberty or social happiness-ran have Where there is no security for person or property—where men are hung without being tried — where black men and women are horribly lacerated with out being convicted of any offence—where houses are any existence. consigned to the flames by a drunken and brutal rabble, before the eyes pf the magistracy, and no punishment ensues—where all this can be done with impunity, the government which permits it must be the most inefli-, cient,. culpable, and wretched government that ever was instituted in human society. Talk of Siberian slavery and Russian despotism ! This of America is a million degrees more unbearable ; it is the most odious tyranny on the face of the earth. In glancing over the New York Advertiser of the 24th August we lighted upon the following curious paragraph, which would have been to us totally unintelligible, but ;or the comments of the editor. " Agreeably to.the vote of the town of Canaan, in the county of Grafton and State of Hampshire, passed at a legal town meeting holden on the 31st day of July last, the superintendent appointed by said town to remove the Noyes Academy' pro ceeded at seven o'clock a.m. of the 10th instant to discharge their duty, the performance of which they believe the interest of the town, the honour of the state, and the good of the whole community, both black and white, required without delay. " At an early hour the people from this town and from the neighbouring towns assembled, full of the spirit of '75, to the nuinber of about three hundred, with between ninety and one hundred yoke of gxen, and with all the necessary materials for the completion of the undertaking. Many of the most respecta ble and wealthy farmers of this and the adjacent towns rendered their assistance 3n the occasion. Much credit is due to the patriotic and public spirited town of Enfield for their prompt and efficient services." What will the schoolmaster say to this ? The mean ing of it is, that in a certain - school, called " Noyes Academy," a few black and coloured children to the number of ten or twelve were taught their A B C, and instructed to read a little. Thii was considered too great an indulgence by the free people of the states. In their estimation the chattel which is bought, sold, and bartered has no right to read, or even learn the A B C ; and the worthy and ‘,4 respectable citizens," conformablf with this opinion, took their oxen and their hatchets, removed the academy and conveyed it to a swamp, there to remain a memorial of independence and liberty in the United States? At. Norfolk, in Virginia, the planters bad what is called a" great meeting" on the 17th August, when they pub lished a - manifesto and a string of resolutions. The manifesto contains the following clause : "The people of the southern states will never deign to discuss either with the incendiaries, the non-slave-holding states, the government of the United States, or any 'other ibreign power, the validity of their title to their slaves. To debate a question► presupposes the doubt of its truth; and we shall never —no, never, at any time, or under any circumstances admit, the', on this subject there exists even the shade of a shadow of doubt. When asked by what right we retain this class of our popula- Lion in bondage, we shall, like the chivalry of Scotland, on a similar occasion, point to our swords. We shall scorn to ren der any other reply. Three millions of freemen, with arms in their hands, may perish amidst - smouldering and bloody ruins of their habitations, and the devastation of the land, by fire and sword, but they never will tamely and voluntarily surren der five hundred millions of their wealth—they never will con sent, in an instant, and as if by magic, to reduce themselves, their wives, and their children, from comfort and affluence, to bankruptcy, beggary and wretchedness." This is splendidly beautiful, but pretty considerably nonsensical; the practical part of the address, however, is much more rich and characteristic. Here it is : "By the act of 1805, it was enacted that if any slave, there after emancipated, should remain within the commonwealth more than twelve months after his or her right to freedom may have occurred, he or she should forfeit all such right. An excep tion was, however, made in favour of infant slaves, who were allowed a period of twelve months, after attaining the age of '2l years. A large portion of the flee coloured people in this state is believed to be embraced within the operation of this law. The legislature cleatly foresaw, that among other mischiefs Which would result from the permanent settlement of this class of per sons among us, that their enjoyment of rights and privileges of which slaves must necessarily be debarred, would occasion dis satisfaction among the latter and render them more discontented with their condition; it was also clearly foreseen, that from their mingling freely with slaves, without awakening suspicion, they might essentially aid in carrying into effect the bloody designs of incendiaries. The time has now arrived when our safety de mands the strictenforcement of the salutary provisions of this act." This, if acted upon, will settle the business, and put an end to slavery in a week. War is declared not only against the abolition party in New England, but against the free people of colour residing in Virginia, • and who possess property, carry on business, or Work as labourers in that state. They.are to be removed like the school house in " the county of Grafton, in Hampshire," and dragged into some adjacent swamp. But if removal ba difficult, or inconvenient, these free coloured people arm to be seized and sold as slaves by inch of candle. The , men who sold them are to sell them again ; thus swin- cluing them or their fathers in the first instance,.and rob bing them in the second. Will the northern states sane= tion or wink at such barbarity. ? Will the. civilized na tions of Europe look on and see these poor and unoffend ing people thus made the sport of disgusting avarice, and dragged from their homes as if they were wild beasts ? The following are also rather interesting extracts : "JUDGE LYNCH OF VIRGINIA, !—The following extract of a letter from Cumberland may be relied on. The name of the individual who suffered is not known : " s CUMBERLAND, Aug. 12th, 1b35.--This gentleman who hits , been so busy for the last four or five weeks in the south and west, made his appearance in Farmville yesterday, and with his usual promptitude proceeded to pass sentence upon a Mr. accased of having held conversations of an in cendiary character with some of the blacks. In obedience to the sentence a large number of the citizens of Farniville con ducted the culprit to a wood adjacent to the town and there inflicted upon him the prescribed number of licks. It appears that he had been preaching to the blacks in the neighbourhood , was taken before Judge Madison, a justice of the peace, and discharged for want of evidence ; but acknowledged that he preached to negroes, although no authorized preacher. The magistrate advised him to quit the place immediately and pro ceed northward, which advice he was attempting to put in exe cution, when he was seized and dealt with as aforesaid ! !'
