FOR.EIGAV AND COLONIAL, DESTRUCTION OF THE CITY OF ST. JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND, BY FIRE. The following appeared in a third edition, and we now give a few additional particulars : By the,k indness of a passer . :ger who arrived this morn ing. by the schooner Rozelle, , Capt. Wilkinson, fro n St. John's, we have information cf the total destruction of that town , -Ly fire. At about half-past 9in the forenoon of the 9th instant the fire brake out, from what cause is not precisely ascertained, and spread with great fury, not withstanding the efforts made toarrest its progress. The majority of the buildings being composed princi pally of timber, of course assisted the spread of the con flagration. some of the storrs, however, of the leading merchants are substantial stone erections; and it was ex pected that these would withstand and check the fire. They shared, however, the common fate. By six in the evening the whole town. with the exception of same suburban streets, was in ashes. only a chimney here and there raising its head above the common ruin ; and be tween seven and eight thousand human beings were left without a shelter for their beads, or an item of property to call their own. So universal has been the destruction fished being a Op composed from a few handfuls of The loss, in money, is said to be upwards of a million tetling; but of course that must be taken as a rough uPsss, and is probably below the mark. •The number,of buildings destroyed is from 1,500 to 2,000. The loss of life happily has been but small, only two persons being known to have perished. ( . I,e was an artillery-man, who .0 arrf st the flames ards died, and the nth an khabitant, who .0 the fire from desperaiiou or to sate some pro 01 course an appeal must be made to the generosity of Englishmen, for the inhabitants of what was so lately a riving town, contributing ry very larg Rozdle lift St. John's on the 12th instant, awl wore detailed intelligence will be rece'vtd by the nest arrivals.

The intelligence from Graham's Town reaches to the 2nd of - May, several days later than the dates brought by previcus arrivals, ThelCuffirs appear to have turned the flanks of the troops employed on he frontier, and to have penetrated into the colony in their rear. :Sever;.l sharp skirmishes had been fought between the armed inhabitants and the invaders, with various success..; but the Kaffir s had captured nume rous herds of colonial cattle, and had burned and plun dered. many houses. Those settlers who reside. on remote farms appear to have abandoned their homes, and to have entrenched themselves and their flocks and herds at vari. ous. detent.ible. posts. :Martial Ihw had been proclaimed, and the armed contingents of the .various districts had been called out and marched towar.:s the frontier. A ,Fi ng ne, who had • succeeded in making his way through the Kaffir!, reported that the hostile. tribes intendee to attack Graham's Town ; but as Col. Somerset had arrived there with 300 men, th• re could be no doubt that any attempt upon that place would be easily defeated. At Salem, near the residence of a Dr. Livingston, an attempt was made by a hotly of 300 armed Kaffirs to carry eff a herd of 2000 to 3000 cattle, and which at fist was partially succes•ful. To oppose this force there were only twenty Mounted colonists, aided by about twenty Zingoes; but such was the spirit that animated the little band, that, after a desperate conflict, in which several of the enemy were slain, the whole of the cattle were recovered, and the Kaffirs repulsed. WOMAN KILLED HT HER HUSBAND, AT HER OWN REQUEST.—The following curious case of murder occurred lately in a small•village, in Wurtemburgr—Adana Gayring, shepherd, a man of sixty-four years of age, of honest and upright dealings, loved ai;cl respected by all who knew him, presented himself, on the Bth instant, before the authorities of Meidenheim, and stated calmly that he had just killed his wife. His declaration was immediately taken, as follows :—' My wife,' he said, 'as every one knows, has been suffering for a long time from illness, and at times the pains she had to endure were such as to affect her reason ; she latterly gave up a'l hopes of reco very, and continu dly repeated, that not only was life a torment to her, but that she feared that if I died before her, she would be reduced to misery. This morning, after we had read together the 4th chapter of the Book of dudees, (they were devout people, and read the Bible every day ) she requested me to drive a nail into her temple, as Jael did to Sierra, as such a death seemed to her short and easy, and would put an end to her sufferings; she said she forgave me beforehand for the act, of which she slight wound `As soon as fain dead,' she added, 'you can close the wound, put me on a clean cap, and no one will know anything at all about it.' After long resistance (continued Gayring) I gave way to the w'shes of my wife. I took a nail and began to drive it into her left temple with a hammer, but the nail was too weak, and the point, instead of entering. flattened itself on the bone. If then took a small drill, but was equally unsuccessful. My wife at once with the hammer, which I did accordingly, by knocking in the skull. The body of my wife is at my house, where you can examine it at your leisure.' The magistrate immedi ately proceeded to the house with a medical man, and Gayring under a strong guard. They found the body THE LIVERPOOL STA ND AB D. )e made t 3e nation what he meant by the equality he spoke of. There was, however, a view of the subject which •rendered his state ment altogether sophistical. Certainly, the religion of the majority was established in England, but then that religion was true; and the religion of the majority was established in Scotland, but that religion was alr,o true. Now, if the religion of the majority was established in Ireland, that religion would be false—a delusion—a snare —(cheers) ;—and therefore its establishment, instead of placing this country in point of religion in a like condition with England and Scotland, would create a most in jurious inequality between the three countries. As it was, there might be said to be a religious equality between Eng'and, Ireland, and Scotland namely, because the true religion was established in each. (Cheers.; But if Ireland were made an exception, anti the false established here, then, indeed, there would be created an injurious inequality—an int qnality infinitely greater than could be created by any discrepancy in point of mere numbers. ( Hear, hear.) There were two ideas before the world. One was the American idea of liberalism; the other was the English idea, much more stern and severe of rectitude. The American idea was, that the state had nothing to say to any man's religion ; that whether he were Jew, Turk, or Atheist, worshipped God or worshipped Belial, was a matter that the government should not interfere with. The English idea, instead of growing out of that which could scarcely be denied to be a convenient indifference, was grounded upon some chapters of Deuteronomy, and other parts of the Scripture, which commanded the ruler that if any one bowed down and worshipped strange gods, he should be stoned with stones until he was dead. That was unquestionably the principle of the Old Testament Scripture, and he repeated that on that was founded the English idea. Yet here he felt it necessary to draw a most important distinction. The English princi ple did rot warrant the persecution of individuals for conscience' sake, but it did warrant, and demand, too, the extirpation of false principles by the exclusive pro mulgation of the true. It held unquestionably that the eradication of religious error was a function of the state. He (Mr. Gregg) took it that the only effectual way where by error could be eradicated was by sound educational laws—laws to diffuse and propagate right principles. The English idea, then, presented a government raising, re fining. chastening, correcting the national mind, and ele vating its subjects in the male of being, by an active in terference to increase the spread of Muth amongst them. The American idea allowed every man - to do in religion what was right in his own eyes. Of that idea Sir Robert Peel seemed to have become enamoured, and in con uence, he was bound on letting the religion of y in Ireland—that religion being false —a free course through the coun - try without ob stacle, opposition, or protest. He (Mr. Gregg) as an individual, most humbly said that he regarded such a design as utterly wrong ; and he could not help recol lecting with much satisfaction a bold and manful state ment which had been made some time since by the men of 'Fermanagh, in an address to the Queen. They boldly stated that they would sooner die than see popery estab lished in Ireland (great cheers). He (Mr. Gregg) was not the man either to approve of aiolence or to advi,e it, and .nete was nothing that he should expert less from than from the encounter of battalions in a religious war. But he should have little hope for Irelarnd if he did not believe that there were thousands of protesiants who would take up the language of the men of Fermanagh, and in wo t' if t - 1 -e cleat! the ne spirit o. martyrs resolve to, prow.. __a in most painful form, rather than tamely allow idolatry_to religious pro UNIVERSITY 4 CLERICAL NEWS, The Rev. M. A. Gathercole bas commenced another action against the proprietor of the Nonconformist. It whom, in 1603, he was created Earl of Ellesmere, and. subsequently, in 1616, he was further raised to the dignity of Viscount Brackley. and the king further intended to have conferred an earldom on him, but he died before the patent was made out. The earldom was, however, imme diately conferred upon his son Viscount Brackley, the munificent patron of Milton, who wrote his " Comus" expressly for the earl, when Lord President of the Princi pality, who had it performed by his family at Ludlow Castle, in Wales. The siscourity and barony became thus merged in the superior title of the Earl of Bridge water, and were enjoyed in direct succession until the death of Francis Henry Egerton, eighth and last earl, and ninth Viscount Brackley and Baron Ellesmere, who died in February, 1829, and whose titles became extinct. It is generally known that Lord Francis Egerton, then Lord Francis Leveron Gower, nephew of the Earl, inherited large portion of his extensive estates, as well as his valu able collection of paintings, familiar to all connoisseurs of the fine arts as the Bridgwater collection. In 1833, he assumed the name of Egerton, in lieu of his patronymic Leveson Gower. In 1820 his lordship was returned to the House of Commons; as member for Bletchingly, and in 1826 was elected to represent the county of Sutherland, which lie continued to sit for until 1830. In 1835, he was returned for the southern division of Lancashire, i n conjunction with the Hon. It. B. Wilbraham, in opposi tion to Viscount Molyneux (now Earl of Sefton) and Mr. G. NV. Ward. His lordship was chief Secretary for Ire land, from 1828 to July, 1830, when he was appointed Secretary at War, and filled that office till the succeeding November. The noble lord was offered a high appoint ment by Sir Robert Peel when he came into office in 1841. but declined the honour from his unsettled state of health. RAILWAY IN . / it lad GEA CE.

Amongst Sir Robert Peel's new batch of baron!ts is a Radical, a Jew, and an Orangeman. One of the last ministerial acts of Sir Robert Peel was to confer an appointment of £lOOO a-year as Commis sioner of Stamps and Talcs on Mr. Allred. Montgomery, a Whig. It appears that Lord Stanley's son is not twenty years of age. and cannot therefore be a candidate, as stated, for the representation of Preston. The Manchester Adcertiber says that it is proposed to invite Sir Robert Peel to allow himself to be put in nomi nation for the southern division of Lancashire. A Whig correspondent of the Morninv Herald expresses his sorrow in being obliged to state that the V% hig govern ment promises to be of very short duration. The Tories, he says, will be wanted again before February. At a public meeting of the League, on Thursday, it was resolved to present Mr. George Wilson, the late chairman, with a sum not less than £lO,OOO for his services. The amount is to be paid out of th, league fund. Mr. Sergeant. Talfourd was sworn in on Thursday, as Queen's Sergeant, before Lord Lyndhurst. The honour was unsolicited, and was the last judicial act of the retired chancellor. The League newspaper lies announced that is next number, which was to be published on Monday, (yester day,) will be its last. Even its office, it is said, is announced to be let. Mr. Macaulay, the new Paymaster of the Forces, will meet with a very formidable opposition on presenting himself to his constituents at Edinburgh for re-election, on account of his votes in favour of the Maynooth Bill. A public dinner in commemoration of the repeal of the Corn-laws was held at Birmingham. Amongst ihe toasts were the Duke of Wellington, Mr. Cobden. Sir Robert Peel, &c. The toast of Mr. Spooner and Mr. Muntz, the members for the borough, was excluded from the list. It is expected that the Whi2s, not liking at-first to try their hands with the Irish Church, will endeavour to make themselves popular by passing a modified ten hours' bill, and by doing something to amend the present state of the beershops. _ _ . The fsct chat Sir James Graham is not to be called to the Upper Howe, is coneitifreil symptomatic of Sir Ro bert Pt-el's not intending to retire Irnm public life ; jnst as Lord Stan!. v's t rematute elevation is now undetstood to have been preparatory of the reveal of the Corn-laws. It is an arrusing fact, thht ‘xhiki the negociatif , ns were pending relative to Lord Lincoln's acceptance of office under Lord John Russell, a party of his friends nu t to gether at a Richmond dinner, to congratulate hint on be coming lrisb secretary under au administration now defunct. CREATION OF PEERS.—The Conservatives have been five years in power, and during that time there hive been no more than five creations, and two promotions, in the neerage. The list is a somewhat remarkable one !-1842. Lord Hill advanced to a Viscounty. 1844. Lord Ellen borough advanced to an Earldom. 1845. Sir Charles Metcalf'. created Lord Metcalfe. 1845. Mr. Daly, created Lord Duhs<fndle and Clanconal, in the peerage of Ireland. . - W 46. Sir Henry Hardinge. cr. ated Viscount Hmrdinge. 1846. Sir fluvh G',ugh, created Lord Gough. 1846. Lord Francis Egerton, created Earl of Ellesmere. Of these seven creations, only two can be said to h ave been made r xeept on urgent ground. , of publi A subserir Con has been set on foot fur a testimonial to Mr. Cobden.

It may not be possible to carry out complete po litical and religious equality according to the letter of the terms, but it may be do..e according to the spirit. But I speak of the spirit and not of the letter, in regard to the franchise, in regard• to the• municipal rights, and in regard to other great questions relating to Ireland. (Cheers.) There is a strong desire in the minds of many that the _errs,) in municipal and d should be placed in possession of the iaMe political and religions rights as those of England and Scotland, and I admit the correctness of this principle. Not only do I admit the justice of this prin ciple. but I am of opinion that a complete assimilation of Ireland to England arid Scotland in poiitical and religi ous priviliges, should not bedefeated by any jealousy and Ell people of Ire! n on our part. With regard to any question involving the rights and privileges of the people of Ire land, 1 say distinc:ly that there ought not to be a different rule applied to Ireland to that which is'applied to the people of this country. (Cheers.) It is impossible for me to say that there should be submitted wih regard 'to Ireland a different rule of action to that which is ap 'plied to Enplane. (Cheers.) Regarding the Executive Administration in Ireland, I think the powers of the Crown should not be exercised so as to occasion any real ground of complaint in regard to religious distinctions. It may be that we have given offence in some instances in availing ourselves of the opportunity of appointing Roman Catholics to 'office. It may be said that we should have taken different means to carry out our policy ; but to that I will answer, that I hold it to be the best and wisest po licy to carry on the affairs of Government without rete renee to any differences on religious questions, and that it should make it 3 appointments accordingly. (Cheers.) With regard to the spirit in which legislation must be di rected, I must sly, for one, I am prepared to co-operate with those who feel that the present social condition of the people of Ireland in respect to the tenure of land, and the relations of landlord and tenant, and are anxious to remedy the existing state of things. (Hear, hear.) It may he impossible by legislative enactments to apply an immediate remedy to the state of things which mow exists; but even if the benefit to be derived from legislation be extremely remote, yet if the benefit be of a permanent character, then I shall feel it to be my duty to support them. (Hear, hear.) Sir, I have reason to believe the noble lord, the member for the City of London. has been commanded by her Ma jesty to repair to her Majesty's presence for the purpose of hearing her Majesty's commands upon the subject of forming that government. (Hear, hear.) Sir, I presume that the general principle upon which the government to be formed by the rn.ble lord, will—that is as far as its commercial policy is concerned—be to continue the appli cation of those princieles, which tend to give us a clear and unrestricted intercourse with other ci untries." The right hon. baronet then adverted to our foreign relations, which he said he was leaving in a most satisfactory state. France and other countries were impressed with a feeling of confidence towards this country, and it was only that very morning that the cheering intelligence bad arrived from the United States that the efforts of the Earl of Aberdeen to settle the Oregon question had been entirely entirely approved of. The right lion. baronet then stated the terms of the treaty agreed upon by Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Pakenham (which are in substance the same as those given in cur American news), and triumphantly stated that the convention drawn up by the Earl of Aber deen had been agreed to by the American Government and Senate wi hout the alteration of a single letter. He could not help rejoicing that before he relinquished , power he should have had the satisfaction of making this announcement. Before he sat down he would say. in justice to an honourable member, whose pute and disinterested motives and natural eloquence, aided by an untiring perseverance, had led to the adop tion of the late commercial measures, that the credit of them was to be attributed to Richard Cobden, and not to either the Whig or Conservative party in that house. He bad succeeded by appeals to the reason of the people, which there was no resisting. lie was aware that, in re tiring, he would leave a name censured by many, who thought conscientiously that it was necessary to keep to• getber a great party ; and he would be execrated by those rnonopolisti who maintained for their own interests the principle of protection. He trusted, however, that his name would be remembered in the dwellings of the la bourer, while he recruited his exhausted frame with a more abundant supply of food—all the sweeter because no longer seasoned by injustice. The right honourable baronet having finished his observations on the po licy which had been pursued by his government, in the course of which he stated that it was the last time he should address the house as a minister of the crown, "sat down amidst loud cheering. The right hon. baronet immediately afterwards rose and said he had received a communication from Lord John Russell, and he hoped that, agreeing with the wishes of the noble lord, the house would agree with the motion he was ,ah3ut to make, and 'which was th a t th e h ouse , a t i ts r i s i ng , d o a dj ou rn to .

LordFt:LNtEnsToN expressed his gratification at the policy of the views of the right hon. b;ironet a respected the legislatio n for Ireland, and his great satisfaction at the happy settlement of the question relative to the Oregon boundary. Mr. nome said no minister ever left power with so much of the public sympathy as that of the right hon. baronet, and for his own p ar t h e f r i t grateful to him fur the benefiti L - e had during hi s a d m i nistration conferred •--- upon the country.

HONESTY REWARDED.—On Friday, as the King of the French was stopping to change horses at Essonne, a poor woman presented herself with a petition, stating that she had fallen sick at a public-house, and incurred a debt of Bfrs., which she could not pay, and as a guarantee for which the publican had detained her dog, which was her only companion and friend. She owed the publican 18frs., but had 10frs. in her purse, and could not, she said, de ceive the king by asking for more than she actually wanted to pay the debt. The king shortly afterwards returned the petition, with several pieces of gold wrapped in it. lanAnrm PACHA'S VISIT. A letter from Alexan dria of the 20th June, states that Mehemet Ali was very much gratified with the ac c o un t s rece i ve d o f t h e rece pti on given to Ibrahim Pasha in En g l a nd. H e , h owever , ex pressed his surprise, that instead of a palace being placed at his disposal, as at Paris, he should have had to take up his quarters at a public hotel; but on its being explained to him that the Emperor of R uss i a occup i e d th e same a p ar t m ents at Alivart's, and that Her Majesty's Govern ment had no apartments reserved for the accommodation of illustrious visitors, his Highness was satisfied. The Viceroy was expected to leave for Co ns t ant i nop l e i n a week or ten days.

The . principal speakers were Mr. O'Brien and Mr. Henry Grattan, who urged the usual topics. CORN LAW AND REPEAL.—The passing of the corn law was celebrated last night in the city by a moving illumi nation. Bands paraded through the streets, striking up cheering, and exulting strains, preceded by a broad and brilliant line of torches. Lighted tar barrels were borne along in other directions, followed by crowds, who pro ceeded from one baker's shop to another, and by signifi- cant exclamations announced the joy they felt at the ap proaching abundance of the "staff of life." One party bore long poles, on some of which large loaves were mounted, and in front of another was a platform carried along, on which " Bothered Dan," in cocked hat and plume, was seated, grasping in one hand a long stick, on which the fragment of a masssive loaf was emblematically fixed.—Cork Reporter. SHOCKING TRAGEDY.—One of those dreadful occur rences, at the very mention of which the blood runs cold, arising from the use of intoxicating liquors, has taken place in Dublin. The unfortunate vie:lm to the fury of a man mad with drink, named Jane Boland, resided in Loftus-lane, near Capel-street. It appeared that she was confined on Tuesday, of a dead child ; and a witness swore that she confessed that her husband, when in a state of intoxication, on Sunday, came into the room where she was lying ; that he struck her with a stick several times across the belly, and pointed to a stick that was used for drying clothes out of the window ; she added that, immediately after she was struck, she was seized with severe vomiting, and acute pain. The coroner's jury returned the following verdict:—" We find that Jane Boland's death was caused by extensive peritonitis, pro duced by blows inflicted on her by ber husband, William Boland, while in a state of intoxication." DREADFUL MURDER.—A terrible outrage, which ended in murder, occurred on Monday, at Belturbet, near Fermanagh. Three men came to the house of Tom Burns, dragged him out of his bed, in which were his wife and three children, one carrying him by his feet, the other two by his arms, and murdered him in a most cold blooded manner. Two of the ruffians held Burns by his arms, against a table at his own door, while the third de liberately groped for his short ribs, and discharged a pistol fined with cluck shot ! The shot spread upward, and took effect in his lungs and heart. Poor Burns lived from one o'clock on Monday night, until some time the following day, and on the police being sent for, he gave information against the three men, neighbours, whom he knew, and identified. They are now in Cavan gaol. Their names are Smith, Farrelly, and Reilly, who fired the shot. Burns had ceased to worship as a Roman Catholic, attended the C . c F„-. - church of ,ngland, and had given nformation respecting Ribbonism, for which he has been murdered. DUBLIN PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION. The members and friends of the above association met on Wednesday evening, Ist of July, in the hall of the association, Whitefriar-street, for the purpose of cele brating the anniversary of the victory of the Boyne, The i meeting was originally to have been held in the Rotundo Gardens, but owing to the broken state of the weather and other unforeseen circumstances, the place of meeting was changed to the hall, which was very tastefully deco rated for the occasion with shrubs and flowers, and amongst the latter was a great abundance of orange lilies. Several banners, representing William 111. on horseback, which were placed in various parts of the b u ildi ng , h a d also a most striking and pleasing effect. There were also inscribed in gold letters, over the chair and on the front of the galleries, such mottos as the following :—" God save the Queen"—" Lord Lorton and Protestant Ascen dancy"—" Earl of Roden and the Orange Institution," &c. A vast number of Orangemen were present, who wore their scarfs and insignia of office. The meet i ng , which was thronged to excess with a most respectable audience, was most orderly and regular all through. Amongst the speakers on the occasion was th e R ev . T . D. Gregg, who moved the following resolution, "That we are convinced that if all Irish Protestants, without ex ception, organized themselves in order to show the nature of Christian laws, and constitutionally to demand their enactment, the power of truth, and the numbers on their aide would soon convince the Protestant community Great Britain that the path of safety ran side by side with the path of duty, and that both led to the ascendancy of truth, its sole maintenance, encouragement, and counte_ nance ; and that we are further convinced that so long as British statesmen are led by an expediency to counte. nance religious falsehood and to pension idolatrous spa s _ tacy, they need not expect aught bnt overthrow, disaster, and disgrace." The rev. gentleman at much length urged on those present the employment of renewed exertions to create a great party in Ireland, who should be witnesses for the truth. (Hear. hear.) Sir Robert Peel had gon out of office, and, as far as he could make them so, his last words rung the knell of the Irish Church. Such was the sense which they must deduce from hi s statement, that Ireland should be reduced to a level in re ligious matters with England and Scotland, whereby h e meant that, as the religion of the majority was established in England and Scotland, so should the religion of the majority be established in Ireland.

The Rev. Gentle man was presented, last week, by the Sunday school tpanhera_ with a handsome silver 'inkstand. nericil and gold ren, in testimony of their gratitude for his faithful and aff ctionate labours among them ; and on Tuesday he was waited on by a deputation from the congregation at large, who conveyed to him a purse containing £B4, to gether with a costly silver salver of beautiful workman ship, which was executed by Mr. Wordley, of Lord-street. INDELIBLE ORDERS.—:The case of the Rev. Mr. Shore has brought up again the curious question of the indelibility of orders ; but there seems some difficulty to know what orders are indelible, and by what virtue they are so. Mr. Shore is " a priest in holy orders" of the Church of England, and, therefore, by the canon law, he is subject to the bishop, and he cannot secede. Mr. Shore was the minister for some ten years of an unconse crated and unendowed chapel, built by the Duke of Somerset, in the Parish of Berry Pomeroy. The duke was willing to endow the chapel, provided he retained the patronage. Two successive incumbents agreed to Mr. Shore's ministry, but the third refused to permit him, un less the chapel were endowed, and the patronage vested in the incumbent. hereupon the duke turned the chapel into a dissenting meeting house, and licensed it under the Toleration Acts; and hereupon Mr. Shore took the oaths as a dissenting minister. The bishop prosecutes him in the Arches Court ; and, because orders are indelible, he is prevented from becoming a dissenter. But now the question arises as to Mr. Newman, Mr. Ward, and all the other seceders to Rome. Were not their orders in delible ? Could not they be prohibited by the Arches Court ? We can fancy the enormous hubbub about " liberty of conscience," which the whole corps of Popery in the House of Lords, the House of Comnions, at the press and elsewhere, as they swarm through the land, would raise, if the "seceders to Rome" were assailed in the Arches Court. and imprisoned for contempt, because they exercised their liberty of going to Rome.—Slalesman. COLONIAL BISHOPRICS.—The committee appointed to arrange measures in concert with government for the erection and end,wment of additional bishoprics in the colonies and dependencies of Great Britain, have just issued their third annual report. It appears that the diocese of Australia is to be subdivided into three distinct bishoprics, by the establishment of one see at Morpeth, for the northern division of New South Wales, and of another at Melbourne, for the district of Port Philip. During the five years which have elapsed since the com mittee was formed, nine new sees have been created. Of these, two, namely, Gibraltar and Fredricton, derive their endowments almost exclusively from the fund placed at the disposal of the episcopal trustees; and four others, namely, NeW Zealand, Tasmania, Melbourne, and Mor peth, receive assistance from the same source. The re maining three, namely, Antigua. Guiana, and Colombo, have been endowed by means of a different distribution of the funds at the disposal of the imperial or colonial government for ecclesiastical purposes. It l is intended to sub-divide the diocese of Calcutta, by the erection of a bishopric at Agra, for the north-western provinces. The committee recommend the immediate formation of bishoprics in the following possessions of the crown : Sierra Leone, Western Australia, the Mauritius, and Prince Rupert's Land. Appended to the report is an abstract of receipts and payments from the commence ment of the fund in January, 1841, to May. 1846. The receipts, it appears, have been £81,890 lls. 4d. ; the ex penditure less than that sum by £6 19s. ld. ; which balance remained to the credit of the fund, at the Bank of England, on the Ist of May last.

Queen Elizabeth made her Lord Keeper, and conferred other honours on, for hi, distin guished abilities, particularly in the suppression of the conspiracy of the Earl of Essex.

RIGHT OF STOCKBROKERS TO RECOVER IN ACTION FOR DIFFERENCES.—ILLEGALITY OF TIME BARGAINS. —The case of Whitmore and others v. Radcliffe came on in the Court of Exchequer on Monday. It was an action by stockbrokers to recover from a clergyman resident at Salisbury, the sum of £1420 for commission, and differ ences paid in respect of purchases of consols made upon the retainer and by the orders of the defendant in the months of October and Novembser of the last year. The purchases amounting to £40,000 consols, were made in the month of October for the settling•day in November, and the panic in the money market having set in betwee❑ the day when the purchases were made and ►he settling day, there was a large sum to pay by way of differences, which sum was duly paid by the plaintiff=, who sought to recover it in the present action. There was no actual transfer of stock completed, and the witnesses called to prove the sales to the plaintiffs, and who were of the class denominated in the market " jobbers," admitted that they had no stock in their own names in the funds equal to the got up instead of falling, they should only expect to be called upon to pay the difference, and not to make an ac tual transfer of the stock. The witnesses, however, hat upon might have called upon the - pita, tiffs to name the party for whom they bought instead of taking " the difference," and asking no questions. It was contended for the de fendant, under these circumstances, that the transactions were illegal under the stet. 7 Geo. 11., chap. 8, a. 5, and that the plaintiffs could not recover as for money paid to their use. inasmuch as the plaintiffs were under no legal obligation to pay the differences.—The Chief Baron left it to the jury to say, if the transactions upon which mo • Hies were paid by the plaintiffs to " the jobbers, from whom they purchased on behalf of the defendant, were " time bargains," and the jury having found this question affirmatively, a verdict was entered for the defendant, on the counts raising this defence, and for the plaintiffs ou the remaining counts.
