CASE OF GREAT DISTRESS The case of an individual, who has taught French in Liverpool and other parts of the kingdom for a period of twenty years, is humbly 'submitted to the notice of the benevolent and humane. Mr. - has for several years taught in th;,fnwn w;11, OM. genes end success, and amongst tee numerous respesstable ig in schools and families front whom he has received encour 'eent, all have been pleased to express themselves highly sa stied with his exertions. But it has pleased Almighty Go o visit him with a disorder in th • eyes, which has left his 'most totally blind, and thus precluded him front earn'n , is livelihood, as formerly, by teaching. He is also begin ' g to feel in other respects the infirmities of advancing li and to some other means of obtaining support for himself id his family he must, therefore, betake himself. His family consists of his wife, six children, and one step-child : of these his wife and two children are entirely, and other two in a great measure, dependant upon him. Labouring under declining health and diminished abili- . ties for exerting himself, his mind is touched with the most poignant distress at the idea of the hardships to which those in dividuals so dear to him must he exposed. In addition to the other sources et his suffering, his landlord has seized every article of furniture which his house contained for the payment of the rent last due; thus leaving hint in a state of the most helpless destitution, without the means of buying a single article to render a house habitable, or to provide those comforts which are so necessary during the severities of the approaching winter. Under these circumstances he snakes his present appeal. Nothing is exaggerated; every statement can be substantiated by the most satisfactory proof. Mr. WILLA N, of the Library, in Bold-street, has kindly consented to receive any donations that may be made. To a generous public he leaves the result. Donations will also be received at the Standard-office. Liverpool, lltle November, 1835. DIVISION OF THE CITY OF CHESTER INTO WARDS. The barristers, Messrs. Hall and Youngs, appointed to divide Chester into wards, according to the provisions of the municipal corporation act, devoted a fortnight to deliberation and inquiry on the subject, and to the receiving of evidence, to elucidate various points. At last, they determined to cut the good old city into five parts, and to apportion six councillors to each. There was a string party who advocated a four-fold division, and who contended that the ancient lines of intersection ought to be ob served, namely, the principal streets, which formerly, no doubt, divided the city into four equal parts. Mr. John Faulkner, jun., stood alone, for the five-fold plau, and Doped, as well as proved, that by its adoption, a more equal division of the city, as well as of the number of individuals, eligible to serve the office of town councillors, would be the consequence. After a deal of disputation and wordy warfare, the commissioners said they were coin pelled to acknowledge that the farts and reasons, as well as arguments, were all on one side, and the numbers on the other. Of course. they then decided in favour of the Live-fold plan. The division of the'five wards is as follows: ht.—The whole of the city to the east of a line, to be drawn through the centre of the road leading from the river, past Miss Peacock's school, through St. John's church-yard, to Love street, taking the centre or Love-street, to Foregate-street, ;nto Frodsham-street, to Cow-lane bridge; down the centre of the canal, to Egerton bridge, along Egerton-street, to Brook-street, and thence to Flookershrooke bridge, including, of course, Great Boughton, within the parliamentary boundary. 2d.—From Love-street down the centre of 'Poregate-street, to the Cross, thence, down the centre of Bridge-street, to the Old Bridge, and thence, through Handbridge, along the centre of Eaton Road, all to the east of that line, betweeu, and the first ward. 34.—T0 the west of the last line, to the Cross, thence down the centre of Watergate-street, to the Watergate, thence outside the city walls, to the embankment of the New Bridge, and along that bank to the river, and down the river to the boundary'of the city, including all to the east of the last line. •- ' 4th.—To the north of the last line, to the Cross, from thence up the centre of Northgate-street, down the Liverpool Road, to the Bache. _ . . sth.—To the east of the last line to the Cross, thence down the centre of Eastgate•street, to Frodsharn-street, the boundary of the first ward. The first ward is to be called .Boughton Ward, the second St. John's, the third St. Mary's, the fourth Trinity, and the fifth St. Oswald's.—Chester Courant. ANTIQUITIES.—The following is communicated to us by our valued correspondent, Mr. Counsel:—on Tuesday last, as the workmen were employed in digging out the foundation of a dwelling-house belonging to Mr. Toeby, situate on the north side of the Westgate-street, in th iscity, they discovered at about seven feet from the surface of the earth, the lower part of a beautiful column, nearly three feet in diameter. It was of free stone, finely executed, in a perfect state of preservation, and weighing a ton and a half. It was ornamented with a double torus, having, what is very unusual, fillet, above and below. The column stood on a plinth six feet long, four feet wide, two feet thick, and weighing two tons eight hundred. The column must, from its size, have been part of a building of great consequence, but as its capitol was missing it isimpossible to ascertain to what order of architecture it belonged. About seven years since, two columns of exactly the same dimensions and style of archi tecture, were found in digging for the foundation of Mr. Bough ton's house, situate in the same street, and distant in a direct line from the one before mentioned, about eighty feet. It is a singular circumstance that none of the records belonging to this city make mention of any public edifice in that situation.— Gloucester Chronicle. AFFLICTIONS. — That eminently pious man, the Rev. John Dod, who died in Northamptonshire, in 1645, at the advanced age of ninety-six, used to say to his sick friends, "Afflictions are God's portions, which we may sweeten by faith and fervent prayer; but we, for the most part, make them hitter, putting, into God's cup the evil ingredients of our impatience and un belief. In all ewes of suffering, the people of God should con sider—l. God wills them, and sends them; now the will of God is perfectly righteous, and what he does is en well done, that it could not be better done. 2. There is need of them, or we should not have them. 3. Their.nurriber, measure, end con tinuance, God deter Mines; and comparatively speaking they are but for a moment. 4. The Lord will he sure to support us under them. 5. They are not too many, too heavy, or too long, as S , tan would have.themt nor too few, too short, or too-light, as our corrupt nature would have them 6. Their end is a weight of glory, and the crown that attends them is everlasting." Einperiat I)arliamtrit. 1-1015 ST: OF LORDS On Tuesday the period of the prorogation of Parliament ha,- ing.expired, goth'Houses of Parliament met pro yi,r , nza. .Two o'clock was th 4 hour named, the commissioners being Lords Melbourne, Denman, and Gleneig. •The commission having been read, the Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod (Mr. Putman) was directed to summon al> attend ance of the commons. There appeared at the bar, Mr. Rick man, the second clerk of the table, attended by the Attorney- General, &c., and several of the officers of the House of Com mons. The cqmmission directing the further prorogation of the Par liament hayinf , been read , Lord DENMAN said, " My Lords and Gentlemen,—By virtue of his Majesty's com mission, under the great seal, to us and other Lords directed, and now read, we do, in his Majesty's name, and in obedience to his commands, prorogue this Parliament to Thursday, the 17th day of December next, to be then here holden. We have, therefore, to declare, my lords and gentlemen, that this parlia- Ment is accordingly prorogued to Thursday, the 17th December next." The lords theree.on bowed, the commons retired, and the lords commissioners quitted the woolsack. There were many strangers below the liar. The house is un dergoing considerable alteration in the arrangement of the seats. Some of the stoves have been removed, so as to afford more accommodation for seats in the body of the house. The staircases to the lords' galleries have been entirely removed; it may be remembered that they materially encroached upon the bar; and those galleries have been much curtailed, and are approachable by staircases out of the body of the house. There is also a large new window with a northern aspect. J t 1 / 4"4 ' LIVERPOOL STANDARD. LONDON LAW REPORT. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—THURSDAY. KEY v. NIELD.—This was an action tried before the Re corder of the city of Chester, for work and labour done, when Ole jury found a verdict for the defendant. Mr. Dunn applied to the Court for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, on the grounds that the ver dict was agziinst the evidence, and also either upon misdirection or non-direction of the Learned Recorder, but. which he could not say, as no person who was ene yard distant from the Re corder could hear what the learned gentleman uttered. Mr. Baron Alderson- 7 -If the Recorder cannot be heard you cannot show a misdirection, when it may turn out the direction was a p - roper one. 'Mr. Dunn.—My Lord, I will go on the nonAirection. Mr. Baron Aldersou.—lf the jury could not hear, can yon' undertake to say the Recorderdid not direct them. Mr. Dunn here read an affidavit of a gentleman upon the in audibility of the Recorder. Mr. Baron Parke.—You had better go upon the evidence. Mr. Dunn having stated the case, the Court granted a rule. MONDAY. AGAR V. BLETHETT AND COLLINS.—In this case the Court ordered an issue, to ascertain whether the plaintiff was legally the husband of Mary Burdock, who was convicted of poisoning Mrs. Smith, at Bristol, and executed for the crime. Mr. Baron Gurney heard the case at'Bristol, when the jury found that the plaintiff was thl husband of the deceased, by which decision he claimed all her money and effects. Mr. Sergeant Merewethei now, on behalf of the defendant,' who were the trustees of the plaintiff's late wife, moved for a rule for a new trial. Mary Williams married Charles Agar in 1819. Her husband shortly afterwards being displeased with some irregularity in her conduct, patted from her. They bad not been separated long before he wished to live with her again. She refused, and he ultimately left her in Bristol living in adultery with au individual named Wade, who, on his death, left-her £5OO in cash, and his stock in trade to the value of -t750. She afterwards married a man named Burdock, having no reason, from his protracted absence, to believe that her first husband was alive. She settled her property on herself and husband, and, at a later period, on the children she had had by. the plaintiff. Subsequently to her death the plaintiff snade his appearance, and laid claim to all her property. The learned Sergeant argued that as the deceased, by living in &idultery, had rendered Agar free from all liability on her account, it must consequently be inferred that the wife possessed herself the means of support, and had power to contract debts, and was therefore entitled to dispose of her property in any way she pleased. . The Court not concurring in this view,. Mr. Sergeant Merewether then urged that if the plaintiff, as her husband, took all her effects, so he must, by the same rule, be bound to pay the trustees the expenses incurred in the de fence of his wife at her trial for murder. The Court said that it could nut make any order. If the trustees could proceed against the plaintiff for the expenses they could du so without the intervention of the Court. The rule was refused. THE REV. MICHAEL CROTTY. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, DUBLIN, TUESDAY, Nov: 10. JUDGMENT. CROTTY V. AVM A !lON —The Chief Baron delivered the judg ment of the court on the demurrer, whic',i ha! been argued at such length. His lordship said, the slander complained of was contained in a letter, to which the defendant .pleaded justifica tion. The first question for the court to consider wa:4. whether the demurrer should be allowed or overruled. The second was, whether the matter contained in the letter was libellous or not. After reciting the several plea, his lordship said the court did not think that the pleas covered the whole slander, and therefore that the demurrer should be allowed. The letter proceeded thus, " He is running all over the country like the spirit of darkness, seeking whom he may devour." It was difficult to express more defamatory language. It was contended that he only used scriptural language. It was true, indeed, that it was scriptural language; but descriptive of the devil himself, and used in the strongest terms, just as if applied to the devil him self. It was not possible to conceive any language more calcu lated to inspire hatred, particularly in the minds of the lower orders. It was libellous to expose any one to public hatred or execration ; hut not content with this, he calls upon Michael Crotty. to whom the slander is lrrtten, ti, tarn him out of the parish. He says, "Yon know he is a depraved wretch." Is It passible to conceive anything snore mischievous, when writ ten of a clergyman ? The letter proceeds, " Ynu can put bun out of the parish; I therefore call upon you so to do." This, and the latter part of the libel affirmed the writer's intentions. It was said the words should be taken in their spiritual sense. It was contended they meant that the people should hold no spiritual communion with him ; but there was nothing in the letter that would confine the words to that. It was clear that the words meant general communication, because the defendant called on Michael Crotty to put him out of the parish, not spi ritually but corporally. In this next place, the defendant seeks to justify, on the plea that he bad been a Roman Catholic priest, and had officiated as such—that he was subject to the discipline of the Roman Catholic Church, and .that, according to the discipline of that church, he had been excluded from the communion of that church, which means excommunieation. It went on to say that the plaintiff was guilty of several breaches of discipline. and that the Rev. James O'Shaughnessy degraded him, and that he did so under the authority he held as bishop over the district, and that it was his duty - to excommunicate him, acting as he had done. It should be recollected that there were two species of excommunicatione---the greater and the lesser; the lesser keeps the party from a participation in the sacraments; the greater from all social intercourse or commu nication ; and when the defendant in his plea speaks of excom munication by the Rev. Mr. O'Sbaughuessv, it is !merely from the church; but when he calls upon the leev. Michael Crotty to put in force the greater punishment, by his total exclusion from the parish, the lesser sentence could never justify the greater punishment. The entire gist of the complaint seemed to be, the complete success of the plaintiff in soliciting the pa rishioners to procure a chapel in which he might officiate, and for this he is called a "depraved wretch." It was the first time that a clergyman, having fur his object the conciliating his pa rishioners over to himself, and making friends of them, was to be called the devil. Under all the circumstances, the coact was of opinion, that there was not, in any manner whatever, any Part of the libellous matter justified. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT THE EIKLE FERRY. DEATH OF MR. J. H. RICHARDSON. We have this week the melancholy duty to announce in our columns the sudden termination of the life of a most active, en terprising, and useful member of the community, whilst in the discharge of his professional engagements in the north of Scot land. Mr. John Henry Richardson, the secretary to several of the shipping societies at North Shields, and the returning officer for the borough of Tynernouth, had been deputed by the com mittees, in conjunction with Alexander Bartleman, jun., to proceed to Thurso, in consequence of the loss of the ship Ocean, of Newcastle, in order to attend the sale of the wreck and pre servation of the stores, &c. They had completed the object for which their journey had been undertaken, and were on their way home, when, according to a letter received from Mr. Bar tleman, in crossing the Meikle Ferry, at the Dornach Frith, by the ferry-heat, with about seventeen passengers, and having arrived within fifteen or twenty yards of the shore, the boat struck on an anchor, which immediately caused her to fill. Mr. Richardson, being an excellent swimmer, was the first to leap overboard, in order to reach the shore; lint the tide setting off the point of laud drove him into the current, so that those in the boat could render hint no assistance. One of the ferrymen then =do a similar attempt, and was also driven into the current, butfortunatelv succeeded in reaching a small boat moored at a little distance, and was thus the mearte - of saving et the rest - of the lives, as by this time the boat was nearly under water. Im mediately the passengers were landed Mr. Baitlemitn and four_ others pushed' offinto the curtest, to render assistance to their struggling companion. After rowing nearly a mile they came up with the body, which was still floating, but the head under water. Every possible despatch was used in getting Mr. Ri chardson into the boat, and in reaching the shore, but life appear ed extinct ; and, as no houses were near the landing-place, the body was placed in the coach which was waiting for the passen gers, and was driven as fast as possible to the town of Tain, where two medical gentlemen attended, and tried every means used on such occasions fur nearly an hour without effect. Mr. Bartleman states further, that the kindness and attention of the magistrates and principal inhabitants to him, under the trying circumstances in which he was placed, had been very great, and those from the person (Mrs. Ellison) who keeps the in n , b e y on d all praise. Mr. Richardson, as a public notary, generalship insurance agent, and a man of business, was greatly re s p ec t e d and looked up to by his fellow-townsmen in Newca s tl e; in pri vate life he was kind, generous, and disinterested ; and his me lancholy death will he severely felt, and much and deservedly lamented.—Glasguiv paper. PARTS MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY.—The Museum of'' Natural History, at the Garden of Plants, Paris, every year augments its valuable collections. That of reptiles and fishes is composed of 5,880 species, and 21,350 individuals. The divi sion of the insects and crustacea have increased this year by 7,019 species, and '15,000 individuals. In the class of insect s are more than 30,0(X). which are described, and as many which have not yet received a designation. The collection of mollusca and zoophytes has received an addition of 550 species of living shells, 380 fossils, and 300 dead and presersed in bottles. On an average there are four individuals to each species. Th e collections of comparative anatomy have . been en r i c h e d t hi s year by 31 skeletons, 146 preparations in spirits, 30 dried speci mens, and 15 new moulds of fossil fragments, of whi c h 294 casts have been sent into the different departments and abroad. As to the dried plants the herbal is considerably aug mented by the arrival of the rich collections made in India by M. Jaquemout, consisting of 16,000 new specimens. Geology has received considerable augmentations since 1833; more than 5,000 specimens of rocks have arrived; also a methodical col lection of fossil plants, containing 1,500 specimens. The mine ralogical department is less complete. The series of Varieties in the colours of the species corindon, topaz, emerald, euclase, spinefle. An expense of 10,000 fr would be necessary to put this department on a par with the grand European collections. The Library is composed of 13,5(X) volumes. The budget of this establishment was fixed at 36 , 1.1X10fr. for 1831; an addition of 61.0001 r. has beam obtained for 1835, in order to complete cer tain imperfect series. There are still ;many lacunaa in the or gatitc fossil remains of the ancient world. TO 'rim ELECTORS OF CARLOW. Da eityss NS ABBEY, Gth Nov., 1835. FEf.LOW-COUNTRYMEN,-1 beg your pardon—l humbly beg your pardon—for baying recommended to your soffiages that most incomprehensible of all imaginable vagabonds, Alexander Raphael: But the truth is, he deceived me—he altogether de ceived me. There is only one consolation, that he has precluded himself front ever deceiving any one else again. I am bound to acknowledge that 1 had been cautioned against him—that I had been told he was a faithless creature, who never observed any c utract, and with whom no person ever had a dealing without being sorry for it. 'Why then did I disregard these cautions ? Fur two reasons. First—l am in the habit of, perhaps, undervaluing the effect of calurnny—and as to ca lumny itself, I know by the experience of a long life, that the best of actions and purest of motives cannot, Ir. many cases, mitigate calumny. I therefore treated Lore lightly than it now seams I should have done those who condemned him. Secondly —He had long solicited my support to obtaiu a seat in parlia ment. He canvassed me for assistance as a radical, when he avowed himself a candidate for Westminster. After that spe culation was given up, he sought my aid at the last general election; and - upon my return to Loudon he assailed me with professions of purity and patriotism, taking up expressions of mine, of my attachment to those who were friendly to Ireland; and in his letters declaring hiMself the most ardent friend of our unhappy country. Perhaps f should not have attended to him—l probably was wrong even in believing him; but this at least is in my favour; that before I recommended him to your notice I obtainetlaroto him a declaration of public principles, signed by him, - and of which I was at _liberty to make use publicly, if, as your repre sentative, he swerved from any of them in the slightest degree. Sueh is my excuse for having at a ny time beeu deceived by so very worthless a bein g , as his late mean and malignant, but, at the same time, almost unintelligible attack upon me, proves him to be. The disclosure of correspondence written in that absence of caution with which men write when they do not foresee the possibility of meeting the public eye, places him in a predicament so deplorable, as to be an object of pity rather than of reprobation or mere contempt. This is my apology for having recommended to you so base a man us he now shows himself to be—indeed he is at present a creature so paltry as to be below reproach. Let me give you just this specimen of this man's mendacity. There is iu his publication this passage—mark the hypocritical candour ! ! " 1 1hat I should not do him an injustice, it is fair that I should, in conclusion, observe, that the second sum of £lOOO has been accounted for by his paying in cash £350 to Mr. Baker towards the law charges, and after repeated applications made for the balance, by giving him a bill for it at a tong date, drawn by Mr. ,O'Connell himself on the self seine brewers as the £3OO before alluded to was drawn for." _ Perhaps there never were so many falsehoods stuffed into so small a space. It may amuse to analyse them. Ist. It is false that the second £lOOO was accounted for in the way stated. This is a pure invention—a simple falsehood. 2d. " Paving in cash £3.sotoMr. Baker towards law charges.' I never'paid £350„ or one shilling, to Mr. Baker towards law charges, or f,r any purpose. This is a Complicated falsehood.. 3d. "And after repeated applications made to him for the, balance." Mr . Baker never made to me any such application —no person ever applied tome, or had any occasion Io apply to me, for any balance. This is a multitudinous falsehood. 4th. "By giving him a bill at a I.rug date, drawn by Mr. O'Connell himself, on the self same brewers," &c. I never gave Mr. Baker a bill for any sum upon any brewer or brewers, or any bill at any date. This is a similar falsehood with the last. sth. "As the £3 l O before allttled to was drawn upon." Nei ther the £BOO, or any part of it, was paid to any person by a bill drawn on any brewer or brewers. I never in my life 6ew a bill on any brewer. This m:lkes falsehood the fifth and last. After this specimen I think it is not going too far to say, in the usual Irish phrase—that you, Alexander Raphael, are." a mighty great liar." I have dwelt too long on this subject ; I cannot conclude, however, without stating that Raphael was aware that not one shilling of the i.:2000 was, directly or indirectly, for me or for my use; that I received the money merely as the trustee of Mr. Vigors, who was the person liable to all expenses, I having been his surety as between him and Raphael. I have to add, that I paid Mr. Vigors at the time, and as he called for it, the entire £2OOO, not only to the last farthing, but that I actually made a mistake, and overpaid him by £l5, a mistake which he soon discovered, and, of course, repaid me that sum. As Raphael has had the indescribable meanness to publish letters which certainly were not intended for publication, it may be necessary to state, for the sake of the public, why the £2OOO were required from him, as the purposes were strictly legal, and beyond reproach ; if Mr. Vigors agrees with me, as I think he will, in the propriety of that course, I will satisfy the public on these points. In the meantime, fellow-countrymen, this incident has tatiglit me just so much of caution as never again to hold too lightly representations by honest and experienced men against indi viduals who thrust themselves upon me, awl whose character I have myself no personal means of estimating. The baseness in the present case is at once almost equally incredible and unin telligible. If I could understand the man, he might surprise but could not wound me. After all I, can afford to forgive him this annoyance. I have the honour to he, fellow-countrymen, your ever faith , ful servant, DANIEL. O'CONNELL. TO DANIEL O'CONNELL, ESQ., M.P. Ca tow, November 3, l83:3. . Mr. DEAR O'CONNELL,—Hating seen iu one of the. Dublin papers of yesterday, a letter from Mr. Raphael, of London, in which he refers to certain transactions relating to his late elec tion for this county and the subsequent petition, I,do not delay a moment in stating that the insinuations conveyed against you in that gentleman's letter respecting pecuniary matters, are perfectly unfounded. I make use of the wool insinuations, for I see no direct charge, nor indeed can I by any means divine the object of publication. The whole of the sum handed to you by Mr. Raphael to cover the expenses of the contest in which he was returned for this county, was transmitted by you to the county through toe, to the uttermost fraction. The greater portion of the money being intended to defray expenses incurred in this county was necessarily remitted by bills on Dublin. If it were not superfluous for me to 'bear testiaionv to the people of Ireland in any proceedings in which )our bOnour is involved, I would add that in all the transactions between Mr. Raphael and this county, in which you acted as the mutual friend of both parties,. and tb all of whit', I believe I was privy, yoUr conduct was most liberal, upright, and honourable. Believe me ever yours, N. A. VtGOLIS. PRESBYTERY OF PAISLEY. CASE (IF R EV. bin. RREWSTER.—The presbytery met on Wednesday week, in the usual place, at eleven o'clock. Mr. Mactiair, in the absence of the moderator, took the chair. Dr. Burns having, at the opening of the meeting, intimated his intention of railing the attention of the presbytery to the conduct of ane of their number, in regard to the late visit of MT. Daniel O'Connell to Glasgow, stated the reasons why he did so. We are a protestant and presbvterian church, and have been established by the laws of the land. Every minister at his or dination is bound by solemn vows to support the church, and to do nothing, " dii eelly or indirectl3," which might tend to in jure or to overthrow her institutions. Mr. O'Connell, whom he would nut characterise as an " illustrious," but rather as a " notorious," individual, is the avowed, accredited, and paid agent of the popish faction in Ireland, and in this country, whose ceaseless object is to overthrow the protestant church of - Ireland, and to establish popery on its ruins. They were deeply interest ed in this, inasmuch as a blow at the root of one of the protestant estabtishments will necessarily pave the way for the overthrow of them all. Was it consistent then— was it becoming in a clergyman of the church of Scotland to give such a marked tes timony of approbation to Mr. O'Connell, in his public and official character, as that which is conveyed by accepting an invitation to a public dinner, got up avowedly for the purpose of doing him honour ? It will not do to plead the political character of the man as the ground of approbation apart from his other relations for even in this view it was unbecoming, and positively wrong, to throw the shield of public patronage around one who openly declared that he came to Scotland on a revolutionary errand, to overthrow the British constitution as at present balanced, by setting aside the peers—and, we may add, by a very quick transition, the King too. Our clergy do not meddle much with politics, and when they do, is it right, or is it decent, that thee should encourage politics of the very worst kind, and pregnant with ruin and disaster to the lands Nor will it do to plead the talents and the eloquence of Mr. O'Con nell. These were both very commanding, as every one who had heard him could testify: but on these accounts he is only the more dangerous, and it is a miserable thing when principle and consis tency are bartered away for the sake of the empty admiration of intellect. Moreover, Mr. Brewster was at the time moderator of presbytery, and thus, in addition to his status as an or dinary clergyman, he held the official station of the public re presentative of the body to whom he belonged, and whose inte rest he is bound to protect. In every view, Dr. B. felt it to be an incumbent duty on the presbytery to take up the matter, not in the way of libel, for he had no intention to move for that, but in the way of inquiry into the farts and circumstances of the case. He therefore moved, that the moderator be authorised, to put to Mr. B. the three following questions, which he hoped would he answered readily and with candour. 1. Did Mr. B. attend and officiate as chaplain, (by returning thanks,) at the dinner given at Glasgow, in honour of Daniel O'Connell, M.P., on the 22d of September last - .2. Did Mr. B. accompany Mr. O'Connell on the clay following, in his private carriage, to Paisley, and thereafter take his seat in the gallery of the Old Low Church, on occasion of a public meeting, called expressly for the purpose of hearing and complimenting Mr. O'Connell? 3. Are you the author of the letter signed " P. Brewster, Ab bey of Paisley," and printed in the Paisley Advertiser of Oc tober 22d? Dr. B. laid on the table a copy of the newspaper containing the letter, which was read, and the paper was marked by the clerk as having been produced in court, and ordered to -be kept in retertis. Mr. Brewster protested, and appealed to the synod against the irregular manner in which this subject had been brought before the presbytery. Dr. Burns observed that Mr. Brewster hail no right to pro test against the motion, as it had not been disposed of, and pro posed that the moderator should put the three questions con tained in the motion seriatim to Mr. Brewster. The clerk stated, that it was his opinion that no member could protest and take instruments in the clerk's hand, with the view to sist proceedings of court. The motion was seconded by Mr. Telfer, and carried by a very large majority, the only dissenters being Mr. Brewster himself and two elders. The questions were then put seriatim, when Mr. Brewster readily acknowledged the statement of the first, but declined giving any reply to those of the second and third. A long and desultory discussion then ensued, in conse quence of Mr. B. having craved leave to withdraw his replies to questions second and third, which was granted, on which he moved that the presbytery should tell him through the clerk whether he might be liable to a charge of contumacy for refus ing to answer.. This the presbytery, by a vote, declined to do; hut several members stated theif opinion that Mr. B. was liable to the charge, and that it was net creditable in any minister to forget his ordination vows, or to he ignorant of the laws of the church. On this Mr. B. entered his appeal to the synod, as he had done before, but without, as he said, meaning to bar procedure. Dr. Burns then rose, and said that to his mind it was a matter of perfect indifference whether Mr. B. replied to all the ques tions or only to the first, although for his part, had he done the deed, and gloried in it, as Mr, B. seemed to do, he would not have been ashamed or afraid manfully to avow it. The acknow-, ledgment of one of the allegations was quite sufficient to enable him, in the terms of what he must call an extremely moderate sentence, " That the presbytery agree to record their marked disapprobation of Mr. Brewster's conduct, in having attended a public dinner given to Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P., in Glas gow, ou the 22d of September last, as unseemly arid dissespeeyid to the principles of the Church of Scotland, and defer for the present giving judgment on the second and third questions, which he declined to answer." Mr. Macfarlan rose to second the motion just made by his friend Dr. Burns, and he did so with a perfectly clear and dis tinct conviction of its justice and propriety. After defending the form of procedure ndopted by the presbytery, he adverted to the question put to ministers at their ordination, which they had all answered and solemnly bound .themselves to obierye, and in which the very same mode of procedure is recognised and enforced. He went on to remark—lt is necessary to observe this, inasmuch as the question before us may seem to many a matter which belongs only to the individual, and which the presbytery have little to do with. 'lt is eopettially necessary to observe this in judging of the grounds they were about to assign for their approval of the motion; for it is not that Mr. O'Connell, is such a persoa as that it would- be unlawful for every one to countenance him iu the way Mr. Brewster has done, but that it was wrong for him as a minister of the Church of Scotland, bound, as e he is, by ordinatiqn vows, and subject, as he is, to that church, so to do. Now, sir, it will be recollected that the Church ref Scotland has declared in her standards, and did maintain. from the earliest period of her history, that the Church of Rome is the Antichrist, the man of sin, the son of perdition, on whom the curse of God is pronounced, as spoken of by the Apostle Paul in his second epistle to the Thessalonians. I3e it right or wrong, she has so declared concerning that church, and this declaration she has embodied in her standards, which are subscribed by all her ministers. They, therefore, subscribe to this doctrine. They declare that they du so in anima. And on this Freund they agree to protest against that church, and on no occasion to countenance what has thus been solemnly de nounced. Mr. O'Connell is a member of the Church of Rome; but he is more than a member, he has long been known as the avowed promoter of her interest, and has banded himself with others to molest and destroy the protestant institutions of these realms. On these grounds alone it were, as he conceived, inconsistent on the part of Mr. Brewster to countenance such an individual by appearing, as he did. on his own confession, at a public dinner given to Mr. O'Connell, and officiating there as a minister of the Church of Scotland. But, sir, Mr. O'Con nell has exhibited himself in other characters than merely as a leader among his own party in the Church of Rome. He has for a series of years indulged in the msst vituperative language against almost all the venerated institutions of these realms, and unsatisfied with heaping abuse on men of every rank, he spared not to apply unbecoming epithets to the highest authority in the country. Now, sir, he (Mr. Macfarlan) asked-whether it were not unseemly and disrespectful to the }principles of the Church of Scotland, for one of her ministers to countenance at a public dinner such a man ? But the individual to whom we have so often referred, did not confine his hostility against the institu tions of the country to abuse. On entering the House of Corn inons, he, with other Roman Catholic members,. came under a solemn obligation not to employ the power with which they were to be invested to the prejudice Of the Protestant chUrch, as esta blished by law. Aud vet, in the exercise of that very power did he,unite in virtually eeitinguishing at least 8(X) Protestant esta blished churches. lie (Mr, Macfarlan) did not here pronounce any judgment on this part of his conduct and the conduct of those who acted with him, as it may appear according to the laws of the church to which they belong. But this he would say, that if Mr. O'Connell and his friends were,members of the Church of Scotland, and if the question were submitted to this, court, he ( Mr. Macfarlan) would come to, no other judgment concerning it, than that it was an act of wilful and deliberate perjury. Now, Sir,. the judgment which this court is to give of, others as concerns the countenance that was given to Mr. O'Connell, is not to he regulated by what' the individual shall, hold concerning his own conduct, or by what it may appear to other churches, such as that of Rome • but b y what it is held to, be according to the rules and principles of that church of which they are ministers, and whose standards they have subscribed as the confession of their faith. [Mr. Brewster inquired whether Mr. Macfarlan applied the above'remarks to any political party, or 'merely to Mr. O'Connell. Mr. Macfarlan replied that he thanked . 111 r. Brewster for the opportunity given to explain. His remarks in connection with the Irish Church applied exclusively to members of the House of Commons who had taken the declaration required on the part of Roman Catholics by the Catholic relief bill.] These remarks, sir, apply to the individual so often spoken of, chiefly as a. member of the church of Rome, although in circumstances 'so special, and of such a kind as greatly to aggravate the incon sistency of Mr. Brewster's conduct in the case alluded to: But they were not with this to forget the occasion on which Mr. Brewster attended the dinner in question. His friend, Dr. Burns, had tightly referred to its being a professed object of Mr. O'Connell's visit to Scotland to revolutionize the House of Peers, an essential branch of the constitution; with this topic; however, he (Mr. M'F.) bad no wish farther to interfere. But there was another object of that visit also avowed, namely, the promulgation of views and sentiments hostile to the principles of all religious establishments. Long before this, he had again and again declared himself opposed to the principle of all such establishments, and in Edinburgh he avowed and maintained these sentiments. He did so in his addresses to the meetings there assembled. This preceded his appearance in Glasgow, and must have been fully known to their brother Mr. Brewster. Now, sir, ho (Mr. MT .) did not here give any judgment as to Mr. O'Connell's conduct in fielding and main teining sentiments of this kind; but he (Mr. MT.) asked the court to consider whether Mr. Brewster was acting consis tently as a minister of the church of Scotland in countenancing an individual holding these sentiments, and in attending a pub lic dinner, when ha was bound to suspect retch sentiments would be advocated by the individual to whom the dinner was given ? and that their - judgment on this point may rest on clear evi dence, he begged leave again to refer to Mr. Brewster's ordina tion vows, and to the formula which he subscribed. He (Mr. MT.) would first read from the questions pat at ordination. " Are you persuaded that the presbyterian government and discipline of this chtirch are founded upon the word of God, and agreeable thereto; and do you promise to submit to the said government and discipline, and to concur with the same, and never endeavour, directly or indirectly, to the prejudice or sub version thereof, but to the utmost of your power, in your station, to maintain, support, and defend the said discipline and presby terian government, by kirk sessions, presbyteries. provincial synods, and general assemblies, during all the days of your life ?" Then from the formula, there is an addition to this — " and 1 promise that I shall followi no divisive course from the present establishment in this church; renouncing all doctrines, tenets, - and opinions whatsoever, contrary to, or inconeielvit with, the said clot-trine, worship, and discipline and government of this church.'' Now, sir, he would not allege that Mr. Brewster has directly violated these solemn pledges in countenancing one who seeks their overthrow, for if they were to find him guilty of that, then would he he bound to adopt a very different course. But he (Mr. MT.) put it to every man of plain common ho nesty, whether Mr. Bi ewster has not in this acted mestunseemly and disrespectfully to the principles of the church of which (leis a minister ; and whether this body, as a presbytery, are not bound to express concerning his conduct our marked disappro bation ? Before concluding, he had one remark to make in referense to the feelings by which he was persuaded they were all activated. Speakin,_ , * for himself, he c , eild truly say that he cherished towards Mr. _Brewster no tinkinctly feelings. From the time that the circumstance - happ_ened it' had been a matter of unfeigned regret to him (Mr. MT. ;) and so far had he been from even entertaining the thought of involving their brother in a libellous charge, it has been his (Mr. M'F.'s) abiding desire that the presbytery would be so guided as fully to exonerate the church from being considered as in any respect countenaucing the conduct complained of, and at the same time to deal with Mr. Brewster only by admonition. And he (Mr. M'F.) felt it his duty to add, that in so far as he happened to become ac quainted with the sentiments of other members they tippe'ared to be similar; and he trusted that their decision will show that while they are determined to maintain the honour and integrity of the principles of their church, they are actuated-by no other than brotherly feelings towards Mr:Brewster. And he must, beyond this, wish, and earnestly desire, that the effect shall be for the interest of religion lanct; the good of all parties. He craved leave again to read the,mution which lie had taken the liberty to second, and having done so he sat down. Mr. Mae farlan's speech was listened to with the most marked attention. Mr. Smith said he had listened with pleasure to the arguments adduced and the etetements made by the preceding speakers, satisfied, as he was, that these must have carried conviction into the head and heart of every member. Mr Brewster said, very emphatically, " Not in mine." Mr. Macnaughtan could not give a silent vote on the occa sion, and stated his entire concurrence iu what had been said. He did not charge Mr. B. with having any leaning to popery, or to voluntaryism, its inseparable' ally. He acquitted him of this, but held that his conduct on the whole matter was highly reprehensible. Mr. Brewster said, that, in rising to make a few observations, he wished it to be clearly understood that he protested against the manner in which Dr. Burns had, iu his speech, brought this subject before the presbytery, as well as the motion itself. He wished this to be entered into the minutes of this day's proceed ings. He again complained that the court should have taken up the business without giving him some previous notice of their intention to do so. He ackowleclged that he had received a letter from Dr. Burns through his colleague, Mr. Macneir ; but he (Mr. B.) only considered this as an aggravation, because hi thought that Dr. Burns should have waited on him (Mr. B.) personally. Even after he had committed the fault (if it was such) of attending Mr. O'Connell's dinner, it was elle duty of Dr. Burns, if he felt offended at his (Mr. B.'s) conduct, to have called upon him as a brother, anti endeavoured to have con vinced him of his error. But he blamed them all for their uu brotherly conduct So far as he followed Mr. Macfarlan, he understood him to have asserted that Mr. O'Connell bad banded himself with other members of the House of Commons for the destruction of the protestant established church. He was also charged with being a revolutionist. Ile (Mr. B.) denied this, or that there was any proof that he had done so. He would bring under their notice the report of the coMmissioners ap pointed to inquire into the present condition of the Established Church of Ireland, as published in Chambers's Historical News paper. ( Here a number of individuals rose and left the meet ing, at which Mr. Brewster was a little nettled, and observed that the opinions of persons who would not hear b"th sides of the question were of little value.) After order was restored, Mr. Brewster proceeded to read the report, which was of con siderable length.' It entered minutely into the state of that church, the amount of its revenues, the number of parishes, the number of protestant' in these parishes, those which had no churches, while the clergymen collected the tithes; and a num ber of other particulars. Now, it did not require many Words from him, after reading that document, to point out the nature and tendency of such an establishment. He would ask if Scot land would y hive . submitted sa long to stick_ an. oppressive aniteh establishment? The catholics of Ireland had not only to do this, but they had besides to pay their own clergy out of their smell incomes. He hoped soon to see a more equitable system introduced. Men had been found in Scotland who dis countenanced sorb a system, and some of their countrymen were ashimed of them. It had been said that Mr. O'Connell contemplated the overthrow of the protestant church, but there had been no proof adduced to satisfy him (Mr. R.) the he ever did so. He had seen his poor oppressed countrymen borne down by the hand of oppression. and he had made great exer tions to procure the amelioration of their condition. After an ample provision for the established church in Ireland, he was willing that the surplus revenue should be devoted to the edu cation of its inhabitants; surely there was nothing very unrea sonable in this. If, as had been stated, he had banded himself with a party for the overthrow of the protestant church, would he not have been punished for this? That great and good man, (for he would call him such,) bad done much, and would still do much, not only for his own country, but for other countries that required reform. As a patriot and a philanthropist he (Mr. B.) had a right as a British subject to give Mr. O'Connell every encouragement. There was, previous to the dinner in Glasgow, a requisition got up inviting him to come there; that requisition only referred to his political conduct, and had no re ference whatever to his religious principles. This of itself was 'sufficient to - sweep away all the rubbish that had been heaped up against him (Mr. B.) for attending the dinner. After al luding to-the attempts which were making to establish episco palianism, he concluded by stating that be opposed the speech as well as the motion of Dr. Burns. _ Dr. Burns, having made the motion, replied shortly to Mr. Brewster. The motion was then put from the chair and carried by a ma jority of ten to three. The minority consisted of himself and Messrs. Young and INPFee, elders. Mr. Macnair was not present, and the Abbey elder, Mr. Macnab, declined voting. Mr. Brewster protested to the synod, but said he might possibly not press his appeal. An overture having been agreed to at the Synod, on the means to be employed for preventing the spread of Popery, and extracts from the minutes not having been forwarded, M.

FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 13, 1835 DANIEL O'CONNELL has at length addressed a letter to the electors of Carlow, which we will not insult the common sense of our readers by calling an answer to the serious charges brought against him by Ex-sheriff RA PHAEL, itbeing in reality nothing more than a compound iirirnPudence, swagger, and glaring falsehood. Te have inserted it elsewhere, so that our readers may judge for themselves. Low as O'CONNELL previously stood—mean and dis honest as he has been proved to be—reckless and un principled as he unquestionably is, still this letter must inevitably sink him several degrees farther down in the abyss of general detestation. It' is impossible for any intelligent man to believe a single word he utters. When we - couple his insonsate abuse with his bold 4.le nials, and look at facts and dates as we find them . in his own letters, the only difficulty we have is to decide whe ther the attempt to plunder RAPHAEL, or his present attempt to gull the people of Ireland, is the more culpable offence. We solemnly declare we never perused any document with half the disgust in the whole course of our lives. • He commences his letter by calling his-former friend — his "My dear sir" of June last—his beloved " brother catholic" whom he commended to the father confessors of Carlow at last midsummer—by calling him, oh, holy St. Bridget!—t►:e " MOST INCOMPRE/lENSIBLE OF ALL IMA GINABLE.VAGABONDS." ! ! ! He then proceeds to say, that previously to his " safe speculation" with RAPHAEL he had been told by some particular friend that his candidate for Carlow was a scapegrace, a shabby fellow—in short, a cheat. Hear DANIEL'S own words : " I am bound to acknowledge that I had been cautioned against him—that I had been told he was a/nit/doss creature, who never observed any contract, and with whom no - person ever had a dealing without being sorry for it." Whether the late sheriff' of London be the charact6 here represented, we have no means of knowing; but this we will say, that Mr. RAPHAEL will deserve to be considered as the " vagabond" lie is described to be, if he do not immediately make O'CONNELL responsible for it in a court of law. There is no other way of settling the matter. Then cone the denials. They are as follows " Ist. It is false that the second £l,OOO. was accounted for in the way stated. This is 'a pure invention—a simple falsehood. 2d. Paying in cash £350 to Mr. Baker towards law charge+•' —t never Paid £351) or one shilling to Mr. Baker towards law charges, or for any purpose. This is a complicated falsehood.. 3d. And after repeated applications made to him for the ba lance.' Mr. Baker never made to me any such application — no person ever applied to me, or had any occasion to apply to me, for any balance. This is a multitudinous falsehood. 4th. 'By giving hint a bill at a long date, drawn by Mr- O'Connell himself, on the self same brewers,' &c. I never gave Mr. Baker a bill for any sum upon any brewer or brewers, or any bill at any date. This is a similar falsehood with the last. _ . sth 'As the MO before alluded to was drawn upon." Nei ther the £8.)0, or any part of it, was paid to any person by a bill drawn on any brewer or brewers. 1 never in my life drew a bill on any brewer. This makes falsehood the fifth and last. After this specimen I think it not ping too far to say, in the usual Irish phase—that you, A texamletliaphael, are a `' mightY great liar." The above is the substance of the'letter, and we ask is thi.; an answer to RAPHAEL'S charges ? That O'CoN NELL received the £2OOO is not denied; but he denies that he drew any bill upon a brewer ; and he produces a letter written by VI GOIIS, a collusive partner in the trim . - saction, in which an attempt is made to show that the whole of the £2,000, and "something more," passed into the bands of the said Vigors. This last named person is questionless a very convenient friend ; but will any sensible man be satisfied with their evidently con cocted representation of the transaction ? Had O'CONNELL been a man of honour or common honesty, who bad the slightest regard for his character in a money affair, he would have shown how the money was transmitted to VIGOIZS—he would have produced the receipts for the same, or the bank bills or drafts by which it was conveyed, and proved that he was not and could not have been benefited by the transaction to the value of a day's interest. DANIEL, however, does not adopt this plain and simple mode of clearing, his character and balancing his cash-book. No, and why ? Because he could not—because the whole vamped up story is a falsehood. . The only voucher which has been suffered to sae tlie light in reference to RAPHAEL'S money is. one that 'tv s exhibited to RAPHAEL himself. Under date of the I," June the following letter appears in the correspondence " Wednesday. "My (tear sir,--I semi you Vigors's letter to me just receiv , ed ; you see how secure we are. Return me this letter, as it vouches LSOO fbr me; with - that you have nothing to do, as, of cdurse, I stand between you and everybody. " Faithfully yours, " DANIEL O'Con:Nrmt,•'' This voucher, we say, RANTALL himself saw, and there 7 fore he can speak as to its nature. He read no doubt that Vinbas therein acknowledged the receipt of O'Co-st- NELL'S draft, at so many months, upon somebody, for £B7J. RAPHAEL. could not be deceived in so plain a matter as this; and he must be believed until O'CoNNELL and VIGORS can show that the £SOO bill had reference to some other transaction. But O'CONNELL denies that he paid .£350 ta the par 7 liamentary agent, Mr. BAKER, or gave him a bill. for the balance at a long date. This will be. easily cleared up, for BAKER,- we believe, respectable maw.' -The-Pro bability is that DANIEL drew a bill for the money, which ITIGoRs, by discounting, converted into cash, and vrith the proceeds paid the agent ; but it would not surprise to to hear that BAKER has not received a single sixpence to the present hour. RAPhaEL's money is sacked, but RA PHAEL knows nut how ; and the fence will take care not to explain, except for a—consideration ! But a word as to the diabolical attempt to blacken the character of RAPHAEL. O'CONNELL says that he was cautioned against having any dealings with him, and that it was inconsequence of his frequent importunitie s that he in a frail hour consented to give him the benefit of his influence. The meaning of this is, that RAPHAEL sought O'CONNELL—thrust , ,,bipself upon him—loaded him with praises and prorniseand actually pressed his money upon him. This is what O'CONNELL now wishe9 the world to believe. But let us see how the fact stands. On the 27th day of May, the committee of the House of Commons declared the Carlow election to be void. RAPHAEL knew nothing of this as we shall prove by and by. On the next day, the 28th May, O'CONNELL called on RAPHAEL and pressed him to become a candidate for one of the vacant seats. RAPHAEL did not consent at first, but took a day and a night to consider of it a nd consult his friends. On the 29th, RAPHAEL according't o appointment called at O'CoStiELL's lodgings, but did not find him at home ; and on the evening of ijiat day We find the first letter of O'CONNELL regretting that he did not meet him, and conjecturing that he, RAPHAEL; did not intend - to accept of his oiler in the "safe specu lation." Here, then, is proof that RAPHAEL had no views what ever upon Carlow, and could not have been pressing O'CoNNELL for a seat, Here also is proof that 0 . 0" 1 . - NELL went to RAPHAEL to sell, and not RAPIZAIL to
