Evidences of the deep-rooted and inalienable attachment of the people of England to our venerable and truly apostoli cal Church are multiplying around us in every direction. We can scarcely open either a metropolitan or provincial newspaper without recognising some fresh token of this feel ing. In all quarters of the kingdom we hear of churches being erected, enlarged, embellished, or endowed. Our own town, within the last few years, has been signally conspi cuous for these gratifying manifestations of deep-felt and abiding love of our glorious Protestant Church—manifesta tions which fully justify us in predicting that the " church of our forefathers" will yet survive in noble triumph the ma lignant assaults of her enemies. The zeal of the Protestant population of Great Britain, as evinced in the erection and endowment of so many noble temples for the worship of the ALMIGHTY, seems to have gone on increasing in the same ratio as the zeal of the go vernment in providing for the religious destitution of the country has declined. The culpable apathy, indiflerence, neglect, or hostility of our present Popish-ridden adminis tration, has served to stimulate into vigorous activity the dormant energies of all classes of Churchmen, and caused them, with an alacrity unexampled in the history of the na tion, to rally round the church and its ministry, and to con secrate, more and more, to the hallowed cause of Church Ex tension, their talents, their influence, and their wealth. This day we have been gratified with an additional proof of the hold which our scriptural church possesses on the affec tions of the people of Liverpool. This gratification we have derived from witnessing the laying of the foundation stone of the church of St. Silas, in Pembroke Place. The circum stances connected with the origin of this church are of a pe culiarly interesting character. They exhibit a pregnant in stance of the mutual confidence and reciprocal affection which ought ever to subsist between a pastor and his flock ; while they afford a striking illustration of the value and efficacy of combined and persevering exertion, in surmounting the greatest difficulties, and rendering practicable apparent im possibilities. It is well known that the Church of St. Jude has been long found much too small to accommodate the numbers who habitually frequented it, not to say any thing of the many thousands living in the neighbourhood, who rarely, if ever, attended any place of worship whatever. Conscious of the inadequacy of church room in St. Jude's, and wishing to make some additional provision for the spiritual destitution of the eastern districts of the town, the talented and beloved minister of the above church, the Rev. Hugh 111`Neile, ventured to suggest that the congregation should voluntarily supply the funds requisite for the erection of another church, in the vicinity of that in which he officiates. The plan pro posed for accomplishing this truly noble and christian pur pose will be more fully understood by perusing the following copy of a letter which the Rev. Hugh M'Neile addressed to the congregation of St. Jude's. We sincerely hope that the pulalicity which we feel it to be our duty to give to this most interesting document will be productive of similarly beneficial results in many other parts of the country. We subjoin the address : "TO THE CONGREGATION OF ST. JUDE'S CHURCH, LIVERPOOL. " MY DEAR FRIENDS AI , :I;iIRWIIREN, — We are entrusted with the Gospel, the glorious Gospel of the grace of God : to embrace it, to enjoy it, to adorn it, to propagate it. Many thousands of our fellow-townsmen never hear it. They are beyond our reach—beyond the reach of all the Christian ministers and congregations in the town. They have no opportunity—no church room—even if they ware willing to seek it ; and they are naturally unwilling. They must be sought ; and there is no one to seek them. " I have brought this subject before you. I have ex plained its causes, and urged its claims. On a late occasion, encouraged by your affectionate confidence, I proposed that, as a congregation, (but not, of course, to the exclusion of any of our friends,) we should build a church, and by so much diminish the evil. " The object' of this paper is to bring this proposal prac tically before you. That we should build a church some what similar to our own St. Jude's—not quite so large, not nearly-so expensive—but under the management in detail of the same trustees. Also—That our contributions should be all free donations, looking for nothing in return but the happiness of seeing another thousand or fourteen hundred of our fellow-townsmen enjoying what we enjoy in time and for eternity—the happiness of ministering of our substance in furtherance of the cause for which Christ died " There are difficulties in the way of every good work in this fallen world. But he not deterred. External difficul ties vanish like summer clouds before the rising sun of a resolute mind. It is a lingering reluctance within that avails itself of the cry, • There is a lion in the street.' Be resolved —supply the funds—and the deterring mountain connected with site, patronage, &c. &c. &c., will become a plain. " To the poor among you I would say. • Do thy diligence gladly to give of thy little.' To the rich I would say, • Leave our poorer friends but little to give.'. " I am always, my dear brethren, " Your faithful servant for Christ's sake, " HUGH M•NEILE. " St. Jude's, October, 1838." This letter was accompanied with a promise of a donation of £lOO from Mrs. Wlsleile. The appeal was laid before a meeting, held in the school-room of St. Jude's Church, and convened by the churchwardens, and most nobly was it re sponded to. A large amount of the funds was immediately raised. Subsequent difficulties were, however, as anticipated by Mr. M'Neile, encountered in maturing the arrangements for commencing the erection -of the church. These difficul ties were metlin the spirit recommended by the reverend gentleman. They have literally " vanished like a sum mer cloud," and we have now the grateful task to re cord the happy fruition of a design at once pious in its origin, and noble in its achievement. We trust that the success which has attended this experiment upon the chris tian sympathies of St. Jude's congregation, will operate as a salutary example to both pastors and people in many other parts of the kingdom. Would that we; had hundreds, nay thousands of such men as Mr. M'Neile in the church ! We should then have little cause to fear anything from the exer tions of Papists, or any other class of schismatics ; and just as little cause should we have to complain of the want of scriptural schools or church accommodation. Thank God. such characters, animated with a like burning zeal and chris tian courage in their ministerial vocation, are multiplying within the walls of our Zion. May their numbers be daily increased! must be the prayer of every true friend to the church. We now proceed to describe the interesting and affecting eeremony of LAVING THE FOUNDATION STONE. At a quarter before eleven o'clock a number of clergymen, and all those members of St. Jude's congregation whose at tendance was not prevented by their occupations, assembled within that edifice for the purpose of proceeding to Pembroke place. A procession was formed of the congregation, headed by the Rev. Rector Campbell, the Rev. Mr. M'Neile, and the .clergy, which proceeded through tiles of the children of St. Jude's Sunday and (lay schools. Each party having taken the place allotted to him, the proceedings commenced by the children of the schools singing a hymn. The Rev. Heprt M'NEILE, in presenting a silver trowel to the Rev. Augustus Campbell, junior rector of Liverpool, for the purpose of laying the stone, spoke as follows :—Mr. Rector,—ln the name of the congregation of St. Jude's, who have supplied the funds necessary for the erection of a new church; in the name of the building committee, who were appointed for the maiiagement in detail of the necessary preliminary arrangements ; in my own name as the privi leged minister of that congregation, and chairman of that committee; and in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, whose saving truth it is our earnest desire to propa gate to the glory of God the Father,—l have now the high gratification to present you with this trowel. and to request you, as one of the rectors of this great and populous parish, to lay the foundation stone of a church to be called St. Silas, in memory of that holy man of God, the com panion and fellow-labourer of the Apostle Paul, in imprison ments, in tumults, in distresses, for the furtherance of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Rev. RECTOIL, having taken the trowel, spoke as fol lows .—Mr. M'Neile, I cannot proceed to the part which has been assigned to me in the ceremony of this day, without first returning my humble thanks to Almighty God that, tie hag permitted me in His mercy, by the partial restoration of my health, again to appear among you, to evidence my anxiety, and, as far as my feeble powers will permit me, to co-operate with you, my brethren in the ministry, and with my friends and fellow-rnembers, the . lay members of the ch r i s ti an c hurch who are assembled .this day, in the fur therance of this blessed and peaceful work, the foundation of a house of prayer for the promotion of his honor and glory, and to do his will upon earth in the salvation of souls. I call it a merciful and a peaceful work, because, although in the present day we are unhappily too often reminded of those troublous times, in which the chosen people under the con duct of Nehemi a h, a f ter t h e i r return f rom t h e Piabylonish captivity, were forced to labour at the bedding of the temple with a worktool in one baud and a sword in the other ; still 1 am sure we shall all of us affirm that a state of war fare is . not our choice ; that though it is our inclination as well as our duty, iii compliance with St. Paul's precept, if it be possible to do as much as lies in us to live peadeably with all men—with this proviso, however, that it is not law ful to sacrifice Christian truth even for the sake of Christian peace—at whatever cost, the sanctuary of truth must be defended, and its foundations securely laid. Let us, however, pray to Goj, the author of peace, and the lover of concord, that he will be pleased to bless this work with the abundance of peace, and incline the hearts of all who profess and call themselves Christians, to hold the faith in unity.of spirit and in the bonds of peace, provoking each other only to love good works, and remem bering, "'How good and joyful a thing it is for brethren to u one t dwell together in unity," teaching us that, as we own g shepherd, we should all dwell, if it were possible , in one fold —that as we 'are all subject to one civil government, e h all, - if possible, to he members of one church, glorifying G o d not only with one mind, but with one mouth—and that \se need seek no other fold than that pure and reformed part of Christ's Holy Catholic Church which has been established in England from the earliest ages, as a witness and keeper of the holy W r iti ng s. w hi c h, though enslaved and corrupted for a time. by a foreign superstition, was emancipated and purified from that slavery and corruption at the time I f the reformation, and which contains and preserves the primi tive catholic doctrines and the ordinances of primitive ca tholic government—h o ldi ng the faith first delivered to the saints, and having a Ministry duly ordained and commis sioned- to preach authoritatively the written word, and ad minister from their true source the sacramental grace of the Christian government—which, therefore, has a sacred and hereditary claim to our attachment, and which surely has not forfeited them by any spots and blemishes which may have sullied either her faith or her government by her contact with the civil power. Animated by these sentiments of devoted attachment to our own pure church, which we consider the purest form of the purest religion, but bearing no ill will whatever towards any other Community, I rejoice unfeign edly that I have been permitted by God to bear my part in the foundation of a sanctuary where the pure word of God will be preached, and the sacraments duly administered, ac cording to the ordinances of that part of Christ's Holy C a . tholic Church which is established in these realms. Mr. CAMPBELL then performed the ceremony of laying the stone; and it having been pronounced to be well and truly laid, _ The Rev. HUGH WNEILE proceeded to supplicate the divine blessing as follows :—Almighty God, of whose only gift it cometh that thy faithful people do, or can do unto thee any laudable service, we are unworthy, through our manifold sins, to offer unto thee any sacrifice ; yet we beseech thee mercifully to accept this, the free will offering of our hearts and hands, not weighing our merits.but pardoningour offences, through Jesus Christ, our. Lord. 0 Lord God, without whom not a sparrow can fall to the ground, and who has numbered even the hairs of the head of all thy faithful people, merci fully extend thy preserving care over all who will be engaged in the building of 'this house. Let no hurt, no fracture, no bruise, no calamity, no disaster of any kind, befall any of the workmen engaged in this building ; but prosper thou in all things the work of their, hands : and as thou hast given us to-day to lay with joy and gladness the foundation of this house, grant us in due time to see it finished with joy and consecrated with thanksgiving unto thy holy service. 0 Lord God, when any of thy people shall have sinned against thee, and shall assemble in this house, and shall cry to thee, and confess their sins, and say, " We have offended against thy holy laws : God be merciful to us, miserable sin ners,"—hear that from heaven, thy dwelling-place; and when thou hearest, forgive! 0 Lord God, when any of thy people, sensible of their exposure to the evils, the tempta tions to the dangers of a fallen world, shall assemble in this house, nod cry to thee, and say, " From all evil and mischief, from sin, from the crafts and assaults of the devil, from thy wrath and from everlasting damnation, good Lord deliver us,"—hear, in Heaven, thy dwelling place, and when thou hearest, protect ! 0 Lord God ! when any of thy people shall feel sensible of their wants, and of the wants of all their fellow-countrymen, of all ranks and degrees in life, and shall assemble hi this house, and shall cry to thee, for their Sovereign, and all in authority under her—for the bishops, priests, and deacons of thy Holy Church — for the magistrates, that they may maintain truth and execute justice, hear in heaven Thy dwelling-place, and when thou hearest, bestow! 0 Lord God, when any of thy peo ple, trusting to thy gracious promise, and coming to the ordi nances of thy holy church, shall bring their children to this house to be baptised in thefuame of th Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost ; and when they assemble themselves in this house, to eat of that bread and drink of that cup, which Jesus Christ has commanded to be received, and when they shall cry to thee for faith, not to doubt but earnestly believe that God favourably alloweth their charitable works, and shall plead thy promise, 0 hear in heaven, thy dwelling place ; and when thou hearest, make those ordinances channels of mercy, grace, peace, purity, and love, for Jesus Christ's sake ! 0 Lord God, who hast in thy wisdom appointed, by the foolishness of preaching, to save them that believe, send in thy good providence for this house a preacher, and a suc cession of preachers, men of God who love thy truth, and who have overcome this wicked world, men who know and feel that by the deeds of the law no flesh living can be justified, and who will proclaim, from the heart, Jesus Christ the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believes, men filled with the Holy Ghost and with power, men dead to the temptations of the world around, and living unto God in private from house to house, and in the public congregation glorifying Him who died and rose again that we might live for ever ! 0 Lord God, who out of the mouths of babes and sucklings does perfect praise, when any of thy people shall assemble in this house to glorify thy holy name, and shall say, " We praise, and we bless and we glorify, and we give thanks to thee for thy great glory, O Lord God, heavenly King, God and Father Almighty, 0 Lord Christ, the Lamb of God thattaketh away the sins of the world, thou only art holy; thou only art the Lord; thou only 0 Christ with the I loly Ghost art most high in the glory of God the Father," then, Lord, hear in heaven thy dwelling-place—and when thou hearest accept our praises and thanksgiving. Pre pare in this house many hearts to bless thee; mercifully awaken many consciences ; mercifully inflict many salutary pangs of godly sorrow ; mercifully communicate faith in thy dear Son ; mercifully guide them in the paths of holiness and peace ; mercifully prepare multitudes who shall worship here, to join that sacred throng who at Christ's feet shall fall, and raise the everlasting song, that crowns him Lord of All ! Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, bless this work, be gun, continued, and ended in thee; and bless all its conse quences to our comfort and to thy glory, for Jesus Christ his sake. Amen. The Lord's Prayer was then repeated, after which the Doxology was sang, and the assembly dispersed. The church of St. Silas will be a handsome structure, and a decided ornament to Pembroke-place. It will he built after the Gothic style, with a tower and spire fronting the street. The length in the interior will be 87 feet 2 inches, and the breadth 47 feet ; and it is expected to be covered in before winter. The architect is Mr. Clayton, of Ormskirk, and the builders are Messrs. Miller and Blackie. COCKERNIOUTH ELECTION. FINAL STATE OF THE POLL, YESTERDAY. Horsman Wyndham Majority LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—Tms DAY. With the exception of a moderate quantity of Oats. Beans, and Oatmeal from lieland, and of Malt coastwise, very little English or Irish produce has arrived here since the 24th alt, : from the foreign ports of Europe, however, we have a tole rably good supply of Wheat, with a few parcels of Barley ; and from the American States a liberal importation of Flour, upon which a very small portion of duty has yet been paid. During part of the week before last the weather here was dry and cold, which for a few days gave a check to vegeta tion ; but, succeeded by frequent showers and a warm tem perature since, the crops in all directions around us appear most luxuriant. Our market, nevertheless, was tolerably well attended this morning by town and country buyers and at the reduced rates of Friday good Baltic Wheats met a fair steady demand, whilst the general runs of Medi terranean experienced a further depression, and must be noted 3d. per 'Nibs. below the currency of Tuesday last : at the same time, Irish Wheats continued to meet inquiry for reshipment, and these descriptions realising higher prices, we increase our quotations accordingly ; but in those of English we make no alteration. In British Flour we have no change to note. American free, although not a lively sale, was in moderate request, at the decline above stated; and bonded Flour, of which 8000 to 10,000 barrels have been sold since this day week, is stilt mostly held at 255. The prices of foreign Barley having declined to 3s. 9d. to 4s. Gd. per GOlbs., this article commands a tolerable sale at the abatement. Malt and Pease remain unvaried. Beans in request, and Is. to 2s. per quarter dearer. Oats were difficult of sale, and rather depressed in value. Oatmeal was also taken off very sparingly, by the trade here; but, with some further demand for Ireland, holders refused to recede, and we therefore retain our last quotations.

BRITISH GUIANA. EXTRACTS FROM " A DESCRIPTION OF BRITISH GUIANA, GEOGRAPHICAL AND STATISTICAL: EXHIBITING ITS RESOURCES AND CAPABILITIES, TOGETHER WITII THE PRESENT CONDITION, AND FUTURE PROSPECTS OF THE COLONY. BY It. 11. SCHOMBURGIC, ESQ." (Continued from our last) GEOLOGY. Mr. Hillhouse, in his voyage up the Mazaruni, observed at some distance a conical peak, resembling the crater of a volcano*. There is a tradition that a volcano still in action exists up the river Siparuni, and it is mentioned by Hartzink that it had been discovered in 1749 t. Though I attempted repeat edly to procure information on this subject, when in those 'regions, I did not succeed. If, therefore, an active volcano existed, it is probable that it is now extinct. The Indians of Pirara told me that there was, on the south-western angle of the Sierra Pacaraima, a mountainwhence, from time to time. detonations are heard. Earthquakes are very seldom felt in Guiana, and the shocks are but slight; if therefore the connexion between volcanoes and earthquakes be admitted, the rarity and slightness of the shocks do not point to the circumstance that volcanic phe nomena find much fuel in Guiana. Major Staple, well known for his experiments, and in many instances for his great suc cess in obtaining fresh water in George Town by boring, discovered a mineral spring upon his own premises in Cuminsburgh, which is strongly impregnated with iron. - I have frequently met with springs in the interior which were more or less impregnated with that metal, sometimes so strongly that the water was of an ochreous colour, but none which possessed thermal waters. Guiana is not devoid of phenomena which are of interest , to the geologist, and which add to the picturesque and mag nificent scenery of that colony. The greatest geological wonder of Guiana is no doubt Ataraipu, which, with full right, may be called a natural pyramid, far surpassing in height and grandeur the Egyptian piles constructed by the labour of man. The Ataraipn is on the Western bank of the river Guidaru in 2 deg. 55 min. N. lat. Its base is wooded for about 350 feet; from thence rises the mass of granite, devoid of all vegetation, in a pyramidical form for about 550 feet more : making its whole height about 900 feet above the river. A column fashioned by nature, and compared by the In dians to the trunk of a crownless tree, is called Pouracpiapa, or " the felled tree," and is of great interest. It occupies the summit of a small hillock at the outskirts of the Paca raima mountains, and is about twenty-five miles N.N.W. from the Macusi village of Pirara. Th;s column, the regular form of which would cause any one who viewed it at some distance to suppose it to be the trunk of a decayed tree, is about fifty feet high. Two gigantic piles of granite rise on the western bunks of the Essequibo, from the declivity of a hill to a height of about 140 to 150 feet. The Comuti or Taquiare consists of a huge boulder of granite, surpassing in size the celebrated pedestal of the statue of Peter 1.; on this rests an oval piece of gra nite, which bears a third in the shape of a jar; it is covered by a fourth, and the resemblance of the two latter to a water jar with its cover is so great, that the Indians have called it Comuti or Taquiare, which in the language of the Arawaaks and Caribs signifies respectively a jar. The pile is called Kamai, which signifies the tube or strainer which is used tier expressing the juice of the cassada toot, before it is made into bread. The mural precipices of Roraima, which 1 have already mentioned, deserve the notice of every geologist and lover of the picturesque. They are not only remarkable for their structure, but from the cascades—the highest known, viz., 1400 to 1500 feet—which descend from them. There are many more remarkable structures which deserved notice, if the limits of this work permitted their description ; —the tracts of huge granite boulders • mountains several thousand feet high, consisting of so lid granite, covered scarcely with any vegetation ; the great cataracts of the rivers Corentyn, Berbice, Essequibo, which, although they otter impediments to navigation, we cannot help admiring as lovers of the picturesque. RIVERS. The rivers or outlets of British Guiana which drain the colony between the 57th and 60th meridian, and from the 7th parallel to the equator, are, commencing from the westward, the Essequibo, the Demerara, the Berbice, and the Corentyn. The Essequibos is the largest river of Guiana, and receives its origin in the Acarai mountains, forty-one miles north of the equator, from whence, for the first sixty miles, its gene ral course is north-east, meandering in short turns through a rich mountain valley ; it divides frequently into branches, and numerous rivulets flow from the mountains into its bed. During inundations its waters rise here from twenty-tive to thirty feet above its banks.. It receives the Caneruau and Wapuau from the south-cast, the Camoa or Ouangou from the south-west. Having passed the Ouangou mountains, which rise on its eastern shore to a height of 3000 feet, and form the northern angle of the Acarai mountains, its course is north to the confluence of the Cassi Kityou or Yuawauri, which joins the Essequibo from the south-west. The sources of the Cassi Kityou are said to be in the vicinity of those of the Unanahau, a tributary of the Rio Branco. From this point it runs in a north-east direction, and receives in 2 deg. 16 min. N. lat. its largest tributary south of the Rupununi,. the Cuyuvini, which has its sources at no great distance from those of the Rupununi, but on the eastern foot of the Cara waimi chain. The Essequibo follows now a north-western' course, and it is for the next seventy miles so much impeded by cataracts, that it is even not navigable for the small canoes of the natives. It forms in 3 deg. 15 min. N. lat. a large cataract called 'William the Fourth's Cataract. The river is here narrowed in by mountains to about fifty yards, and pre cipitates itself with great force over two ledges of rock about twenty-four feet high ; and adopting a north-by-west direc tion, it receives in 4 deg. N. lit. the Rupununi, a large river which has its source in a savannah at the western foot of the Carawaimi mountains. It forms in 2 deg. 39 min. a cataract ; and. meandering through the savannahs it passes the Saeraeri mountains, and flows northward through the Cannucu, .until the Sierra Pacaraima, in the vicinity of the mountain Annai, turns it to the east. It receives previously, in 3 deg. 37 min. N. lat., the stream Awaricuru or Waaecuru from the south-west; by which, and its tributary the Quat tata, the Pirara may be reached, which latter river belongs to the basin of the Amazon. Having passed the southern foot of the mountain Mukarapan, the Rupununi receives from the south its largest tributary, the Roiwa or Rewa, and joins in lat. 3 (leg. 59 min. N. the Essequibo. The course of the Rupununi is about 220 miles; it flows mostly through savannahs, and its waters are white. After its junction ;with the Essequibo, the latter continues in a north-western di rection, forming the cataract Orotoko, and receives in lat. 4 deg. 46 min. N. the River Siparuni or Red River from the south-west. In its further course the Camuti and Twasinki mountains cause it to describe almost the figure S, and it is impeded by several rapids and numerous islands. The river Potaro or Black River joins the Essequibo, from the south west, a few miles below the cataract of Waraputa. By the Potaro and a short land-passage the Indians reach the river Mazaruni. From the hills Oumai to Point Saccaro it turns now for sixty miles due-north ; whilst its tributary, the Ma zaruni, twelve miles to the westward, and the river Deme rara fifteen miles to the eastward, hold a parallel course for the same distance. Fifty miles from its mouth occur the last rapids, which prevent the tide and sailing vessels from ascending any further. About six miles north-west from Saccaro it receives the waters of the united rivers Mazaruni and Cuyuni, which at the point of junction are about a mile wide. The junction of the Mazaruni and Cuyuni takes place eight miles west of their confluence with the Essequibo. Opposite their confluence, but in the Mazaruni, is the small island Kyk-oer-all, where the Dutch in former times erected a fort against the incursions of the Spaniards. The Mazaruni is only navigable for small sailing vessels to the island of Caria ; further south commence the rapids, which are no doubt caused by the same ledge of rocks that form the Aritaak rapids in the Essequibo§. The Cuyuni runs fi om its conflu ence with the Yuruario east and west. The Essequibo con. tinues its northern course, growing continually wider until at its mouth it forms an estuary nearly twenty miles wide (according to others only fifteen.) In its wide estuary there are nu►nerous islands, some of which are of considerable ex tent. The cultivation of Hog Island, which is about fifteen miles long, is restricted to its northern point. Wakenaam, of equal length, and Leguan, about twelve miles long, are however in a high state of cultivation. Tiger Island, the most western in the mouth of the Essequibo, is less culti vated. The entrance of the Essequibo is much impeded and ren dered dangerous for navigators by many shoals and sand banks which extend to seaward. The best and safest of the four channels formed by the three islands is between the east shore and the Island Leguan, which has a depth of from two to four fathoms. According to the volume of water which there is in the river, the current is more or less strong ; but it is seldom more ian four knots, even during the rainy sea son. The course of the Essequibo, taking its windings into account, is not less than 620 miles, exceeding in length any river in France,_ and vying with the Vistula in Poland. East of the Essequibo and parallel to it is the Demerara or Demerary, having its sources probably in that small group of mountains which approach the Essequibo in 4 deg. 28 min. N. lat. and are called Maccari. Its upper course is Quly known to the Indians. At 5 deg. 19 min. N. lat. it forms a great cataract, impassable even for canoes, which the Indians convey here overland until the river is again unimpeded. The last rapids (Kaicoutshi Rapids) are a distance of about eighty five miles in a straight line from Georgetown, to which point it is navigable for vessels of smaller size. A square rigged vessel has been known to road timber at Lucky Spot (in 5 degrees 57 min. N. lat.,) about seventy-five miles, (the windings included,) from the river's mouth. Towards its mouth it widens to a mile, and where it enters the sea it is more than a mile and half across. A bar of mud extends about four miles to seaward, with only nine feet of water at half-flood, but the channel along the eastern shore has nine teen feet of water at high-tide. The river's average current is about 24 knots ; it sweeps, however, with much more strength at the anchorage at George Town, where, assisted by the reflux of the tide, it has been known to reach a velocity of seven knots in an hour, or 11.9 feet, in a second. The Demerara, running parallel between the Essequibo to the west and tile Berbice to the east, does not receive any tribu taries of magnitude ; the tide extends about seventy-five miles in a straight line from its mouth. The river Berbice discharges itself into the Atlantic about fifty-seven miles to the east of the Demerara; its source is probably near the third parallel of latitude. In its upper course it approaches so near to the Essequibo that the direct distance in 3 deg. 55 min. N. lat. amounts only to nine miles. It takes from hence a north-western course, sometimes nar rowing to thirty feet, at other times spreading into lake-like expansions; its banks are low and frequently marshy. The river is studded with boulders. _ _ In lat. 4 deg. 19 min. N. and about seven miles further north commence the cataracts and rapids, which impede the river for upwards of fifty miles ; the last cataract is in 4 deg. 50 min. N. lat., and the river is now flee for boat navigation. Where the fifth parallel crosses its course it follows a north eastern direction to its outflow into the Atlantic. It is navi gable for vessels which draw not more than twelve feet water to lat. 5 deg. 20 min., upwards of 105 miles, according to the river's winding course; vessels of seven feet draught may ascend it for 165 miles, measured along its numerous wind ings. The influence of the tide is perceptible nearly to that distance. * Journal of the Royal Geographical Society, vol. iv. p. 32. Hartzink Beschryving van Guiana, vol. i. p. 266. I. The Essequibo is said to have received its name from Don Juan Essequibel, an officer under Diego Columbus. At its lower course it was called by the Indians who inhabited the coast " Aranauma." The Tarumas call the upper Esse quibo " Coatyang Kityou," th e M acusis, and Caribees Sipou." § Mr. Hillhouse, who has ascended the Mazaruni and the Cuyuni to a considerable distance, found both rivers much impeded by rapids and cataracts.

Obtain a quantity of finely-powdered hellebore, and when the cater pillars begin to make their appearance avail yourself of the first evening or morning after a shower of rain, and whilst the foliage is wet, to dredge a quantity of the hellebore upon the infected trees from a pepper box or any similar article, taking care that the interior portions of the branches are well sprinkled with the powder. If the caterpillars make their appearance during a dry season, better wet the trees from a watering pan and apply the powder as above. De struction is almost instantaneous, and the operation is as simple as it is cheap—a pound weight of the hellebore, which costs only ls. Bd. being sufficient for one hundred ordinary sized trees.—Carlisle Patriot. AN INCIDENT IN THE THREE GLORIOUS DAYS.—The captain was pointing at the moment with his cane to the heights of Passy. The boy approached him, staring at him with astonished eyes, and, drawing a horse-pistol from under his waistcoat, laid hold of it with both hands, and pointed it at the captain's breast. He turned it aside with his cane, but the boy having. pulled the trigger, the ball entered the upper part of his thigh. The captain fell upon his seat with out saying a word, and looked with pity at this sinu b ular! enemy. He saw the boy still holding his weapon in both: hands, and quite frightened at what he had done. The gre nadiers were at that moment sadly resting upon their arms ; they did not deign to make a single gesture against the young rogue. Some of them lifted up their captain, others merely laid hold of the boy by the arm and led him to the officer' whom he had wounded. He burst into tears, and when he saw the blood streaming from the officer's wound down his white trousers, he was so terrified that he fainted. The captain and the boy were both carried together to a small house near Passy.-Nopler's Military Life. Snail SIIDJA AND lIIS BROTHER.—Baron Hugel, with whom I bad travelled from Kashmir, and myself, were in troduced by Captain Wade to Shah Shuja and Shah Ziman, :the pensioned ex-kings of the country I was going to visit. We found Shah Shuja sitting on a chair in a recess, or rather doorway of his house, with a vista, formed by two rows of attendants, that diverged from it, as from a centre . He ap peared to be a man aged about fifty, of the middle size, good natured, and port-wine complexioned; looking snore like a gentleman who had lost an estate, than a monarch who had lost his kingdom. He wore a dark-coloured robe, a white turban, and white cotton gloves. Baron Hugel had been received with great distinction by Runjit Sing ; I had come in for a share of it. Every application which the shah made to the government went through Capt. Wade; and yet he allowed neither of us a chair, but kept us standing the whole time: His brother, Shah Ziman, resided in a different part of the building : we went to see him .also. We stood ; he sat on the ground, pale, thin, dejected, and counting his beads. Ile asked much about Kashmir, and said that the shawls were not now so tine as they used to be. " I remem ber," lie said, " when the finer fabric could be drawn through a ring." He was praising the beauty of Kashmir. " Yes," remarked the poor blind monarch, ." Kashmir is certainly beautiful, and the air and water are good ; but," he conti nued, with a melancholy shake of the head, and a sigh as deep as I ever heard, " Kabul, Kabul! what is Kashmir to Kabul? and I shall never see it again !" We were surprised to hear from Captain Wade, that, in spite of their common misfortunes and fate, the two brothers were not on the best terms with each other. The next morning, Shah Shujah sent us several trays, containing the best display of native cookery that I had seen in the east : it had probably been superintended in management by the ladies of the haram.— Vigne's Visit to Kabul. EFFECTS OF CIVILIZATION ON THE POLYNESIAN Ist.Ons.—The principal improvements the natives have made are in religious observances, and in the acquirement of the rudiments of education ; the greater number can read the Scriptures in the Tahitian tongue • many can write a legible hand, and some few possess a good knowledge of arithmetic. The women have been instructed in platting straw-cinnet, in manufacturing hats and bonnets, in the use of the needle, and in the duties of domestic servants. The men are, to a limited extent, capable of working as shipwrights, blacksmiths, car penters, and joiners ; many also engage themselves to ships frequenting their island, when they speedily perform the duties of ordinary seamen with steadiness and ability. * * The Tahitians are now a Christian nation. They worship in the presbyterian form, and are under the pastoral care of eight British missionaries, who reside in the principal dis tricts round the island, and have charge of the whole ; al though in some of the more remote villages native teachers perform the clerical duties. No opinion is more questionable than that hazarded upon the amount of religious feeling pos sessed by any large community ; but we are justified in be lieving that these islanders are good average Christians, if we compare their spiritual state with that of the Christian world at large. Many of them appear to be sincerely devout, and steadfast both in faith and works; others are induced by hy pocrisy and interested motives, or influenced only by the pre vailing opinions of the day ; while a third, and by far the most numerous class pass through the rontine of devotional forms from a sense of propriety, or by the coercion of the laws, but view religious matters with indifference, and would be glad to escape from their restraints. The strictness, how ever, with which the island laws enforce the observance of religious forms leaves the native but little latitude to gratify his inclination in this respect ; consequently, on the Sabbath the churches are filled with the entire population, clothed in decent attire, and presenting an orderly and contented ap pearance, which makes a very favourable impression upon the foreign visitor. That a large proportion of the natives are well instructed, and impressed with the importance of their new religion, may be inferred from the many of their number that have emigrated as teachers to the idolatrous islands, where, by their precept and example, they have done much to disseminate improved habits and the pure doctrine of the Christian faith. It is also bnt justice to admit, that crimes of magnitude are now of rare occurrence amongst them, and that the dishonesty they so prominently displayed upon their early intimacy with Europeans Is now greatly diminished, or merged into the more ambiguous form of mercantile shrewd 71983.—Bennett's Whaling Voyaye. THE EASTERN STATE-PRIEST or TIIE HIGHEST ORDER, oR GOOROO.—The number of Bramin sanneasis is small. Under the name of Gooroos and Swamalus they may be re puted the bishops of the different sects, who exercise a juris diction over all their inferiors in every thing relating to reli gion and caste. They also perform certain ceremonies, ana logous to the rite of confirmation granted by English prelates, whether in England or India. They are supported entirely by the willing contribution of their disciples; which, never theless, are so burdensome, that a Gooroo never can continue long in one place. * * An hundred pagodas, or £36 15s. sd. a-day, is as little as can be decently offered to such a personage, or nearly £14,000 per annum. The Rajah of Tanjore has been said to give his Gooroo 250 pagodas, or £9l 18s. 61d. per diem, when honoured by his visits. The Gooroos travel in great state, with elephants, horses, palan quins, and an immense train of disciples. They generally travel at night, to avoid, Moslem or European scorn. They claim more than veneration ; they consider themselves entit led to adoration. On the. approach of a Gooroo to a place, every llindoo of pure birth must go to meet him. The other classes are not admitted to his presence.-21funie's Continen tal India. AN IRISH WaxE.—The following rich specimen of Irish anecdote is related among. other electioneering stories, by Sir Barry Boyle, an Irish Mintber of Parliament, and a prominent character in Charles O'Malley, the new work by the author of Barry Lorrequer. The person on whom the joke is played off, is represented to be a sort of under secre tary a litte'rateur, come expressly to remark and write upon that curious specimen of the genus porno, the Galwegian in his own locality :—" Peter,' said Mr. Macnamara, turning to the servant behind him, who's dead hereabouts ? ' Sorry one, yer honour, since the scrimmage at Portumna ; the place is peaceable.' Who died lately in the neighbourhood ?' "flie Widow Macbride, yer honour.' Couldn't they ,take her up again? Peter, my friend here never saw a wake." I'm .afeerd not, for it was the boys roasted her, and she wouldn't be a dacent corpse .for to show a stranger,' said Peter, in a whisper. Mr. Pettyman shuddered at these peaceful indications of thesneighbourhood, and said nothing. ' Well, then, Peter, tell Jemmy Divine to take the old mus ket in my bedroom, and go over to the Clunagh bog, he can't go wrong, there's twelve there that never pay a half penny rent, and when it's done, let him give notice to the neighbourhood, that we'll have a rousing wake.' You don't mean, Mr. Macnamara, you don't mean to say —,' stam mered out the cockney, with a face like a ghost. 'I: only mean to say,' said Phil., laughing, that you're keeping the decanter very long at your right hand.' Burke contrived to interpose before the Englishman could ask any explanation of what he had just heard—and for some minutes he could only wait an impatient anxiety—when a loud report of a gun close beside ttie house attracted the attention of the guests —the next moment old Peter entered, his face radiant with smiles. Well, what's that ?' said Macnamara. 'Twas Jimmy, yer honour; as the evening was rainy he need to take of the neighbours, and he hadn't to go far, for Andy Moore was going home, and he brought him down at once.' ' Did he shoot him ?' said Mr. Prettyman, while cold perspi ration broke over his forehead. 'Did be murder the man ?' Sorra murder,' said Peter disdainfully ; but why wouldn't he shoot him when the master bid him ?' "—Charles O'Malley. PURGATORY.—" Three pound,' says I, be-gorra ye might as well ax me to give you the rock of Cashel.' I'm sorry for ye, Mickey,' says he, gatherin' up the reins to ride off, ' I'm sorry for you; and itie•day will come when the ne glect of your poor father will he a sore stroke agin yourself.' Wait a bit, your reverence,' says I, wait a bit: would forty shillings get him out?' Av coarse it wouldn't,' says he. Maybe,' says I, coaxing, maybe, av you said that his son was a poor boy that lived by his indhustry, and that the times was bad?' Not the least use,' says he. Arrah, but it's bard-hearted they are,' thinks I ; • well, see now, I'll give you the money—but I can't afford it all at oncet—but I'll pay five shillings a week—will that do?' I'll do my en deavours,' says Father Roach ; and I'll speak to them to trate him peaceably, in the mean time.' Long life to yer reverence, and do. Well, here now, here's five hogs to be gin with; and, musha, but I never thought I'd be spending my loose change that a way.' Father Roach put the six tin pinnies in the pocket of his black leather breeches, said some thing in Latin, and bid me good morning, and rode off." — Charles O'Malley. GALWAY PRECEDENCE.—Now came a moment of diffi culty; and one which, as testing Mr. Blake's tact, he would gladly have seen devolve upon some other shoulders ; for he well knew that the marshalling a room full of mandarins, blue, green, and yellow, was " cakes and gingerbread" to ushering a Galway party to dinner. First there was Mr. Miles Bodkin, whose grandfather would have been a lord if Cromwell had not hanged him one fine morning. • Then, Mrs. Moses Blake's first husband was promised-the title of Kilmacud if ever it was restored, whereas Mrs. French of Knocktumnor's mother was then at law for a title; and lastly, Mrs. Joe Burke was fourth cousin to Lord Mari earth!, as is or will be every Burke from this to the day of judgment. Now, luckily for her prospects. the lord was alive ; and Mr. Blake, remembering a very sage adage, about " dead lions," &c., solved the difficulty atnnce, by gracefully tucking the lady under his arm, and leading the way ; th e others soon followed; the priest of Portumna and my un worthy self bringing up the rear.—Charles O 'Malley. MICKEY DELANY AND nrs PaiEsT.—One day I was coming home from Athlone market, by myself on the road, when Father Roach overtook me. " Devil a one ame take any notice of you now," says I, " and we'll see what'll come out of it." So the priest rid up, and looked ine straight in the face. " Mickey," says he, " Mickey." " Father," says I. "Is that th e way you salute your clargy," says he, "with your caubeen on your h ea d ?" Faix," says 1, "it's littl e ye mind whether it' s an or a ff , for you never take the trouble to say by your leave, or damn your soul, or any other polite ness, when - we meet." " YoU're an ungrateful creature," says he, " and if y ou only knew, " you'd be trembling in your skin before me, thi s m i n ute." " Devil a tremble." says I, " atter walking six miles this way.'; " Mickey," says he, changing his voice, and putting his head down close to me, " Mick e y, I saw your' father last night." " The saints be merciful to us," said I, " did ye ?" " I did," 'said he.

The demand for all sorts of Meat was exceedingly brisk, and for Beef much higher prices obtained. We scarcely ever recollect seeing the market cleared off so early in the day,—prime Beef yid to ad, mid dling yd. inferior 63d, coarse sic' to lid. Sheep, (sheared) 6.}d to 7d, Lambs ad to 8.0 Number of Beasts, 660; Sheep and Lambs, 6550. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JUNE 1. We have art abundant import of Butter, which has affected prices very considerably. Fine Carlow is offering to-day at 105 s, and mid dling Waterford at 95s to gss. The demand is not brisk, dealers looking for a large reduction in price, and, indeed, they are justified in the expectation by the present favourable weather. Pickled But ter is not over plentiful, and consequently commands rather a long price, IOSs having been got for a small shipment for the Brazils. In Beef and Pork there is nothing doing : this is usually a dull time of the year. A fair inquiry exists for Bacon. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, MAY 30. During the last seven days we have had moderate arrivals of Oats from Ireland, hut of other descriptions of British Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, the imports have been light. The receipts from abroad comprise 10,208 qrs of Wheat, 700 qrs of Oats, 1780 qrs of Barley, and ip,lso barrels of Flour ; and there have been released from bond 5778 qrs of Wheat, 3100 qrs of Barley, 55 qrs of Peas, and 624 barrels of Flour. The only change in duties, this week, is Is Gd per fir less on Beaus, reducing the impost or. that article to 5s per qr. Favourable weather and promising accounts as to the growing crops, have had the usual effect of rendering the millers and dealers cautious buyers; a disposition which, on the other hand, has been met by holders of free Foreign Wheat submitting to a reduction of 3d to 4d per bushel, at which a moderately fair extent of business has been transacted, including a few purchases for Ireland and for country account. Irish Wheat is now in very small compass here, and where it has been wanted, an advance of some pence per bushel has had to he paid.—American Flour, in bond, has attracted the no tice of speculators, and several thousand barrels have been taken during the week at 235 to 258 Gd per barrel : the prices free have, at the same time, receded a little, say, to :+55 to 355 6d. per barrel, at which a tolerably fair quantity has gone in the hands of the trade. —Oats have been much neglected, and must be quoted 2d per bu shel iheaper.—Oatmeal, too, has met only a limited inquiry, at a decline of fully 6d per load.—Several parcels of light Foreign Bar ley, for grinding, have found buyers, with a view to hold over, at 3s 10d to 4s per 60 lbs.—Beans, upon a moderate demand, are fully as dear.—No change as regards Peas. The Sugar market is only barely supplied, and as holders demand still higher prices, the sales are confined to 35J lihds B.P. at an ad vance of is per cwt. No sales reported in Bengal or Mauritius. Foreign Sugar.—A cargo of Maccio Sager, (the same erraneousl) reported in the London Prices Current to have been sold there,) hes been sold, afloat, to the Greenock Refiners. at 24s lid per .cvrt.'for whites, and 2ls 6d for browns. Bonded Refined—No sales reported. The arrivals c f Molasses since our last have been heavy, but they are not yet landed; the sales consist of 300 puns old Demeraras, for which the price is not alloWed to transpire, 340 puns Antigua at 40s, and 200 puns Trinidads, to arrive, at 37s per cwt.—Coffee. There continues a very moderate demand for Plantation, and the sales amount only to 70 casks of Jamaica, at rather lower prices. Of Foreign, 50 bars arc reported, La Guayra at 520, and Brazil at 498 6d per cwt.—Ginger. 100 bags East India sold at 17s 6d, 550 bags black Pepper at 30 to 4d.—Nothing done in Cocoa or Pimento. —Rice is in fair request, and the sales amount to 4700 bags Ben gal, at las fsd to 14s 6tl per cwt, and 140 tees dressed Carolina at 36, per cwt.—Rum. The sales are confined to 60 puns. at - 43 10d for Demerara, 17 per cent. O.P.,and at as 8d per gallon for common Berbice, I I per cent. U.P. othing done in Foreign.

There has been a good demand for Campeachy Logwood, chiefly for export, and the sales are about 550 tons, at £9 15s to &ID 2s tid for direct, and £9 105 for indirect imports ; a few tons Honduras have brought £7 12s 6d; 70 tons Cuba Fustic £9 to £lO, and 20 tons Camwood £22 10s to £23 per ton.—The only sale of Turpen tine this week is one of 650 brls. the pri6e not reported.—Montreal Pot Ashes go off slowly at 245 3d; in Pearl Ashes the transactions have been trifling.—hides.

Of these, 25 leaf and 120 stemmed were taken for Ire land, 27 Virginia and 14 Kentucky leaf for export, and the remain der by Manufacturers. The stock in the warehouse is now 3302 lilids against 5196 same time last year. Pt ices have ruled very irre gular throughout the mouth, particularly for Virginia stemmed, which has declined, whilst other descriptions have nearly supported former prices. The market for Mediterranean Produce generally has continued in a languid state the whole of the week. Of Brimstone the sales have been rather more than 100 tons, without any variation in value.—Sumac of all descriptions finds slow sale, and at barely sustained prices.—No sales are reported in Argots, Cream of Tar tar, or brown Tartar.—A few casks of Flag Annatto have been bold at Is per lb.—There are no transactions reported in French or Dutch Madders. A few bales French Roots have changed hands at the quotations.-20 lihds Quercitron Bark sold at 12s to las lid.— The transactions in Olive Oil have been on a limited scale, and the few sales were rather in favour of the buyers.—An early arrival of new Seal Oil has taken place this week, and the whole, consisting of about 50 tuns of pale., sold from the quay at £25 lOs per to, ; a few tons Cod Oil, in store, haVe been sold at £26 10s.—In nape and Linseed Oils not the least alteration cau be noticed ; the de mand for both, but particularly for pale Rape, being extremely limited.—Oil of Turpentine .sells in small quantities at about our quotation.—The business in Palm Oil has been extensive, amount ing to 650 tons, but last week's prices have scarcely been supported ; lOU tons have also been sold to arrive, the price of which is not re ported.—A limited business has been done in Petersburg clean Hemp, at £36 ; in other sorts no sales to enumerate.—ln Tallow there is not the least alteration to remark ; the market continues in the same steady position as for some weeks; past, and a fair demand is experienced for consumption, at the annexed quotations.

LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, MAY 30. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 29. In consequence of the continued extensive arrivals from America, and the large amount of the stocks remaining for shipment, the demand from the Trade this week has been very limited, and sales effected with difficulty at id per lb decline on nearly all descriptions, except Surat, which are very heavy of sale at last week's prices. Speculators have taken 500 American, and Exporters 600 American an.l 120 East India; and 3490 American, 230 Pernambuco and 110 East India have been forwarded into the country unsold during the mouth.

(Front the Circular of Messrs. Dawson and Hance.) The small sale by public auction of Foreign Wools which took Place to-day, did not go of with much animation, excepting the clean low qualities which sold with spirit at full prices. The liner descriptions, with the exception of the Spanish Wools, were chiefly sold, but at decidedly lower prices than have - been previously obtained by private contract, particularly as regards the Cape Wools which were in beautiful condition. We regret we cannot advise any material alteration in our Wool market generally, which still continues very languid, hi consequence of the almost total absence of orders for export usually received at this season, and we have not much gonfidence in any prospect of speedy im provement in the demand for Woollen goods.
