The writer in the Chronicle commences by adverting to those feelings of deep discontent with their condi tion which pervade the working classes in France, in England, and in the United States. He then observes, " the evil appears to be incident to the present state of socipl progress; and it demands the best efforts of le gislatures to avert the convulsions, of which it threat ens to be the harbinger." . _ _ In th an artic To allege that the — evil in question is " incident to the present state of social progress," is, we admit, to advance nothing definite on the subject. The real question which arises out of the admitted facts of the case, is, whether or not the present progress of society be in the right direction, and whether that progress be effected on sound principles ? The legitimate infer ence from the facts stated by the Chronicle is, we are disposed to maintain, that the present age, despite its " march-of-mind" principles of progression, is not so wise and so happy as other nations have been—ages far less distinguished than the present by boasting and self-glorification. The actual state of feeling amongst certain sections of the labouring classes is, in some respects, truly de scribed by the Chronicle. " The cry is not for more freedom, but better wages. The attempt is to barricade out the middle men from industrial interference, and not the Orleans Bourbons from the government." " " In both countries there is a sort of working-class aristocracy, which the rest aim at being equalised with. The French workmen claim the same wages for all. The intervention of the contractor or agent is felt by them as an oppression. They want toil to be paid, and paid equally in all, without allow ing intelligence and industry the advantage to which they are entitled. 'the movement, in short, resolves itself, as we stated yesterday, into an anti-property movement. The Chronicle is, however, to a certain extent, in error in its description of the character of that movement. It is not true, for instance, excepting in a certain sense, that any portion of either French or English workmen " claim the same wages for all." The workmen who cling to the anti-property theory may, indeed, be (le , cribed (although inaccurately) as doing so—inaccu ach as the anti-property men hold that the t system under which the produce of la ]. into " wages" for one class, and " pro r, involves the perpetration of fraud on The anti-property men, in rately, ina existent boar is divi wages the whole produce of labour should belong to the labourer, or rather to the society at large, ording to their views, every member of so ciety ought to labour, and to contribute the produce of his industry to the common stock. It is only in the sense here described, that any section of operatives claims " equal wages" for all classes orlabourers. Higher wages may, indeed, he claimed for all kinds of labourers ; but " equal wages" are not amongst the demands of the most discontented of the operatives in either country The Chreni, " unskilled la proceeds to admit that on the s" the whole brunt of modern Is.

They look around lumbers, and have notions of the education continualiv them. on their growing power of multitud And what may h,a the Chronicle's prescription for this state of things ? The conversion of "unskilled" .tilled" lahourers—the diffusion of " educa nd-a repeal 4:1 the corn laws! " There ought not," urges our contemporary, " to exist in this country a numerous race of unskilled la bourers. So long as it does exist, we are treading upon gunpowder. The permanent safety of society through all its ranks, and in all its institutions, is con tingent upon the instruction of the poorer classes. Every one should be put in training to become a skilled, instead of an unskilled labourer." education How very string "education" - is the panacea ! that the Chronicle, after showing t exactly as " education" has ex sery and discontent become dif )ouring classes, should still look thing " education" as a cure for le humbler portions of society. is merely education with infinite car tended itself, have fused arno to this indescril , -) the evils t' at aft' It is not Whig itteation,' in error) that th lab ‘wring classes require —but pro tection from the schemers who rob and oppress them. It is worthy of note, moreover, that the men who cla mour most loudly in favour of " education" for the poor are invariably the men who never weary in their attempts to lower permanently the rewards of labour— he men who never cease extolling cheapness" being only another name are invariably t heapness' for low wages to the labourer The Chronicle evidently misunderstands the mean ing of the terms " skilled," and " unskilled" labour. The labourer is denominated " skilled." or " un skilled," not by virtue of any reference to the state of his general knowledie—or to the quality of his " edu cation"—but to the el!aracter of the work which he performs. The humbler kinds of labour—those, to master which n o " apprenticeship" is required—are essentially " unskill e d ;" an d a ll t h e " e d ucat i on " in the world, if lavish e d on t h e men w h o per f orm th e kinds of labour in question, would fail to convert them into " skilled" labourers. Before the class of " un skilled" labourers can cease to exist, all the humbler performed kinds of labour must be and more easel annihilated HEARNE VERSUS STOWELL. (From the Manchester Courier.) According to the letter addressed by Mr. Stowell to the editor of the London 71mes, a new t r i a l i s to b e moved for next term. T he conduct of Mr. Baron Rolfe, and the course pursued by Mr. Stowell's coun sel, have left the reverend gentleman no alternative; and we have little doubt that the Court o f Q ueen ' s Bench will grant the application. net abundant cause for a new trial can he shewn, no one who has paid any attention to the late proceedings will deny. Tile case, as we demonstrated last week, stood upon two issues -Ist, whether it was or was not a libel upon Mr. Hearne to say that he had imposed a certain pe nance upon the man O'Hara—that particular penance i , nnosed by other priests, and sane ,es, discipline, and practice of his nether, in the course he pursued, aved malice towards Mr. Hearne. t point, it ma y b e sa id that no evi ki to prove that such a penance as (PlT.ara was coremonly enjoined by and as f ar as th a t par ti cu l a r p i - it s true, the evidence was defect as Mr. Cr oo k e a d m i tte d t h at "it mace of a priest . to prescribe pe at those penances are left " more or l ess to ion of the priest," and, that "it was difficult to define a limit" to that discretion, there was sufficient mance as that performed by O'Hara .scribed by Mr. Hearne, in the ex " without exceeding the prac cnurch ; therefore, it could be a course of conduct which permitted by that church. Of course, we do not take into our consideration the testi -tomes wko ought to have bee* oiled tinned by the d Mr. stove fouching fence IN that im fiance is C. nances the discret uch a jet Might nave been is " discretion, Lice and no libel to i:n came wihin the I loony of the wr for the defendant ; for, although that evidence may and does aid our conviction as individuals, it cannot be ad mitted in an argument upon the case as it went to the jury. The law always presumes that the best evidenCe that can be had is adduced; and even abiding by that strict rule, we maintain that according to the evidence of the witnesses on Mr. Hearne's side, it was no libel upon him to say that he was the imposer of O'Hara's penance. It could neither "endanger him in law," nor tend to "exclude him from society," nor " impair his trade." Come we now to the second point in issue, namely,— whether, in reading the document subscribed by the four policemen, Mr. Stowell was guilty of malice towards Mr. Hearne. Some nice distinctions between malice in law and malice according to the general acceptation of the term, have been attempted ; but, we take it, that what is understood by "malitia prcecoyi tata," or by the French definition, "un disposition afaire une male chose," was meant in the case before us. We leave that, however, to be settled by those who think the point worth discussing. What we maintain is, that no malice—either " express" or " implied"—was prqved against Mr. Stowell. He was engaged in denouncing principles not men ; and, although it hap pened that Mr. Hearne's name was made use of, the circumstances with which it was linked were no reflec tion upon him personally, nor were they related in that sense maliciously ; therefore, we say, that as. far as malice has to do with the question, Mr. Stowell was not guilty of libel. Baron Rolfe says it is not necessary to constitute a libel that malice should be proved. That is viewing the law of libel by the new light thrown upon it by Lord Denman ; but, for our parts, we are disposed to go along with Mr. Cresswell ; and in this, we are strengthened by Mr. Justice Blackstone, who, speaking of slander, says, (with emphasis on the word " maliciously,") that words to be actionable must be "maliciously spoken, which is part of the definition of slander." Hence it seems to be manifest, that on both the points in issue, the verdict of the jury worked in justice and wrong towards Mr. Stowell, and that a new trial ought to be granted. CAPABILITIES AND RESOURCES OF BRITISH GUIANA. (From ! Sch?mb!srfik's " drc) No part of the dominions under the British crown sur- passes Guiana in the commodiousness of its situation for com merce, and in maritime strength, in diversity of soil and luxu riant vegetation, as conducing to national prosperity, and in the connecting the interior with the coast regions, to make these treasures available to the fullest extent. In the fore going remarks I have given a general outline of the produc tions of this rich and beautiful country, and it is now my in tention to state how far its capabilities and resources might prove of advantage to colonists and the mother country, and Its riches be made subservient to the wants of mankind in general. The clayey and alluvial marshy land which is now under cultivation, extends to those sandy hills which I have already described, and has, when protected against the encroachment of the sea, and rendered mellow by labour, produced asto nishing returns, which make it probable that if immigration to the colony increases, its produce will be doubled in every ten years. This extensive district is at present only partly cultivated with sugar, coffee, and cotton, the three staple ar ticles of the colony, intermixed with a few plantains.—To enable my readers to judge of the richness and fertility of that soil, I may observe that it has been recorded to have produced 6,000 lbs. of sugar on an acre, or 20,000 lbs. of plantains.* To this fertility the former prosperity of the co lony was to be ascribed ; how much that prosperity might be increased, if the flow of emigration were to be directed to British Guiana, may be imagined chiefly, if many of its in digenous productions, which, comparatively speaking, are almost unknown, were added to the list of exports orinter nal consumption. It wants only the means of drawing them from their obscurity, to open new resources to the enterpris ing emigrant. It is not probable that British Guiana contains gold and silver mines. I have explored its chief rivers, and visited the mountains which traverse the heart of the colony, with out finding the slightest indication of precious metals. The bare and rugged mountoins of Pac rims, and the chain which takes the direction of the meredian in the equatorial regions, are the most likely to possess in their bowels gold and silver ; but the colony possesses a treasure superior to those metals, and able to enrich millions of its inhabitants, namely, its amazing fertility, and the diversity of its soil and natural productions. The sand-bills are followed by savannahs, which generally extend to the first rocky belt, and are sometimes interspersed with woods and rivulets. They are most extensive between the rivers Demerara and Berbice; they are also frequent be tween the latter river and the Corentyn ; but these must not be confused with those of the Rupununi, which are sterile. The former are clothed with nutritious and wholesome grass es, and in consequence of springs and brooks, and the thickets of wood with which they are interspersed, it appears that nature herself had pointed them out for the pasture grounds of thousands of cattle and horses. Those between the rivers Berbice and Demerara occupy upwards of three thousand square miles, and the favourable circumstance that they are plentifully watered by woodland to afford shade during the heat of the day, enhances their value as grazing grounds. _ . _ _ The soil between these hills and the central ridge of moun tains, consists of a strong, fertile loam, mixed with clay and vegetable mould, and sometimes with ferruginous matrer, which gives it a reddish appearance. Indeed it is a rich, primitive soil, retentive andspringy. The fitness of the hilly tract, of the central chain of mountains for the cultivation of coffee, and in consequence of its gravelly and clayey nature for the cultivation of the vine and olive, is perfect. The springy soil in these mountains would produce almost any thing; but the sides of the mountains, I am sure. as far as my experience goes, are qualified for the production of the finest tirapes, equal to those of Madeira, and without much labour or expense ; these fertile regions have a great advan tage over the African Isles, in not being subject to great droughts. The Catholic missionaties, who before thestruggle for independence broke out in the former Spanish colonies, were settled on the banks of the rivers Caroni and Caura, tributaries to the Orinjco, are known to have cultivated the vine. The revolutionary war destroyed their missions, de prived them of their lives, or rendered them fugitives. In ascending the river Berbice, and having passed the central ridge of mountains, we found, in lat. 4 20 N. the bank of the river low, and forming large inlets. The under stratum of the soil was here highly retentive, while on the surface it consisted of a claye marl, mixed with mud and sand, the deposit of periodical floodings of the river, it is therefore particularly qualified for the cultivation of rice ; and thousands of square acres, now lying in a worse than useless state, might thus become subservient to the wants of man. This morasty soil is bordered by gently undulating ground of great fecundity. The soil which I found between the two rivers, when crossing from the Berbice to the Esse quebo, was very rich : we found near the banks of the Esse ,quebo, at the abandoned Indian settlement Primrose, nume rous cocoa-trees; they extended more than a mile from the river's banks, being loaded with fruits in different stages. ,Though some of the trees might have been planted by the Indians, it was evident that nature had assisted in propa gating them :—their luxuriant growth and numerous fruit proved that they throve well in this soil.t The vegetation of the river Rupunnni is far less luxuriant. The savannah which approaches its banks, consists of arid sands upon a clay substratum, and are unproductive. Woods form only here and there a fringe along the rivers, and either disappear entirely at some distance from the banks, or become quite stunted in the growth ; the only fertile soil at the regions of the savannahs is along the foot of mountains, or on their ridges. If we turn our attention to the consideration, how far the mineralogical productions of Guiana might be rendered use ful to economical purposes, the clays of the alluvial flats first claim our attention, as being nearest the cultivated part of the colony. The immense masses of fine white clay of the river Corentyn would probably prove a valuable article for the manufacture of stoneware or porcelain, while the coloured and coarser clay might be used in the manufacture of bricks, which, at pre sent, for the construction of the necessary buildings on sugar-estates, are imported at great expense from Europe. The Indians are the only individuals who prepare a coarse earthenware by mere manual labour from the clays of the country ; the white clays of the Corentyn alternate with quartz particlee and layers of sand, the latter a necessary ingredient in the fabrication of porcelain. The sand which forms the fii6t elevation, when penetrating trom the sea coast towards the interior, contains much silex, and is well adapted for the manufacture of glass. Experiments were made with it in Boston, U.S., which proved highly satis factory, and prnduced a better glassware than is generally manufactured from the sands in the United States. These cliffs become of further interest, as their structure, if judged of by analogy, renders it probable that coal might be found in that situation ; if such proved the fact, it would add a new and valuable resource to those which the colony alrrady possesses. Steam is not only employed in the manufacture of sugar, but likewise in cleaning the coffee of its husks and the cotton of its seeds. Coal is at present imported from the mother country, comparatively at an easy freight : but would this continue if Great Britain should be involved in a war with any other power ? Setting aside all other advantages which it offers, a reference to this circumstance is alone sufficient to demonstrate the vital importance of the discovery of coal measures in British Guiana. Though it may be possible that gold and silver mines exist in the mountain chain of Pacaraima, no native specimens have ever been brought by the Indians to the colony, although they frequently bring the mountain crystals, red chalcedony, and coloured agates. Captain Cordiero, the commandant of Fort San Joaquim on the Brazilian frontier, told me in 1835 that the Indians from the upper river Branco had brought him at different times specimens of native silver. The Dutch made several attempts at mining in 1721, and sent a miner by the name of Hildebrand to examine the in terior; but though his search was conducted with great at tention, he did not discover any indications of the precious me t a l s . Red iron ore is sometimes met with in the granite regions but the brown iron ore is most con s pi cuous i n th e tracts previously alluded to. I have observed, elsewhere, that the oxide of manganese, which I have seen in the pos session of the Indians, consisted only of small quantities. Whether large mines of that metal are extant in Guiana it is difficult to say, and the limited use of it does not increase the importance of such a discovery. The Indians employ it to give a lustre to their native pottery. The granitic tract in the vicinity of the mouth of the Mazaruni, and the adjacent country, has already afforded building materials, and has been used in the construction of wharfs and in the building of houses : if once fairly intro duced, it will be of great advantage to the colony. The tracts of sandstones in the river Corentyn may prove likewise useful ; some of the blocks would square ten to twelve feet. The vegetation of the interior contains treasures which need only be developed to insure the welfare of millions, and to minister to the comforts, necessaries, and elegancies of mankind in general. The beautiful timber which abounds in the vast forests, and covers millions of acres, profits, under present circumstances, only a few ; and if we except the tim ber which is employed for colonial use, scarcely more than one hundred to one hundred and fifty pieces have been ex ported annually. This trifling export does not arise in con sequence of the inferior quality of the timber ; and, as every competent judge acknowledges, the mora and green-hearts vie or ever, surpass the East India teak anti African oak ; but the high rate of labour, and the trouble connected at pre sent with transporting the timber from the far interior to the coast, allows only a trifling profit to the enterprising wood cutter. There are about one thousand eight hundred to two * I -e been infor nay. _.stormed that at th e estate, Mary's Hope, on the Corentyn , 80001bs. of anger have been produced on an acre ; and with regard to plaintains it is g o ec oh r u agllyoutthe calcu lated n that an acre gives seven hunches a week t year. The above weigh t of 20,0001 b5. is by meansooths. o f extra ordinary, since instances are known that 3,0 plaintains have been produced. t The cocoa-tree is found indigenous on the banks of the Rio Branco ; it is, therefore, more than probable that those at Prinross are likewise indigenous. T. Several cargoes of green-heart have been sent to the Clyde, where it is preferred to any other timber ; but the want of labourers in Guiana makes it impossible to meet the demand. Another cargo was lately imported at Liverpool and bought by the corporation at a shilling per foot higher tiaaa any other woad. It is well InOwn that vessels built with indigenous wood (and there are now two in the trade of Demerara, the Moun taineer and the Christina, which are built entirely of timbers furnished from Guiana,) are of superior description with re gard to strength and durability : the vessels employed imme- . diately in the colony are i n a g r ea t m e a sur e cons tructed o f indigenour woods. If the great expense connected with supplying the British navy with timber from North America, Italy, and the Baltic be duly considered, it becomes an object of consideration whether it would not be advantageous to establish a naval arsenal in Demerara. This river is navigable for vessels of one hundred and fifty to two hundred tons for one hundred miles up; and though the bar does not allow vessels that draw more than twenty feet of water to go over it even at spring tides, it affords a safe and commodious harbour for thousands of that description, where they may anchor in five to ten fathoms water; indeed, the river from Fort Point to Hababu Creek may be said to form one vast harbour. Here the ships lie undisturbed by gales and harricanes, which are unknown phenomena ; thus its fitness for a naval arsenal be comes evident. I have already alluded to the valuable more, (Mora excelsa, Benth,) one of the trees most abundant in the forest. The wood is very durable in any situation in and out of the wa ter, remarkably strong, tough, and not liable to split. Its crooked timbers would be of the greatest utility for knees ; and the finest stems for vessels of any size ;night be procured, as well as the choice and valuable pieces in request for keels, kelsons, stern-posts, floor, beams, &c. The close nature of its wood, which never splits, recommends it for bulwarks of men-of-war, bomb-vessels, and gun-boats. Not less recom mendable are the planks of greenheart ; siruabally for plank ing ; the purple-heart for bulwarks, gun-carriages, mortar beds, &c. ; and the red cedar, which reaches a height of up wards of eighty feet, for masts and spars of vessels. The colony is also rich in woods which are adapted for cabinet work, turnery, and ornamental purposes, many of which are at present entirely unknown to the cabinet-makers of Eu rope, and which only in a few houses of the opulent colonists have been used for furnishing their rooms. The elegant ap pearance of these woods in a great measure hides the want of taste in the execution of the furniture. Pre•.eminent among these ornamental woods, stands the beautiful letter wood, which in elegance of appearance, and the readiness with which it takes polish, recommends it above all others to notice. If it should please her Majesty's Government to encourage the timber trade, it would not only open a new resource to the government, but afford double advantage to the colony. In consequence of the increased demand, the lands would be cleared, and by this a great step towards civilization and an improvement in the health of the colony would be gained. WRECKS OF THE LORD CASTLEREAGH AND LORD WILLIAM BENTINCK. (From the Calcutta Courier of July 8.) At four o'clock on Thursday a squall arose, and when it was over, the people from the shore looked again to the Castlereagh, but it was broken up. - The number of those saved from this wreck cannot as yet be exactly tohl ; it is said to exceed 200 ; and among them is mentioned Lieutenant Grant, of the Ist European Regiment. Among those whose unfortunate deaths are declared, are Captain Earle, of the 24th Regiment; Dr. Davies and Lieut. Walker, of the Engineers. The captain (Tonks) and the chief officer were saved through the exertion.of Mr. Atkin son, the second assistant to the master attendant. Among the persons saved was one recruit, who on the breaking up of the Lord William Bentinck swam to the Castlereagh, from which he afterwards had some difficulty to escape Tile shore was yesterday strewed anew with bodies ; those of the captain of the L. W. B. and of his son have been found ; very many exhibited the dismal effects of having been driven on the rocks, the eyes being beaten out, with number less bruises and various mutilations. One man's body was found with his child fastened on his back. Goods of various sorts are seen floating about or cast upon the shore ; among other things a portrait was found in a tin case, which looked placid, as if the original was to be for ever unconscious of disaster. A bag of letters from Karak was found on the rocks, and sent to the Postoffice, where endea vours are making to dry them. Among them are said to be some despatches for Earl Auckland. Nothing in the shape of letters or parcels has been as yet found from the Lot d W. Bentinck. Thus almost within a month have three ships been wrecked on the Prong, as this ledge of rocks is called, viz., the Com petent on the 7th of May, and the Lord W. Bentinck on the 17th, and the Castlereagh on the 18th of June. The like was never before seen in Bombay ; and the old Tindal, who has been 40 years in attendance at the lighthouse, wrings his hands, and says he never saw such repeated disasters. The public mind is powerfully excited, and its voice is loud in reprobating the system adopted for the benefit of this magnificent harbour, into which during fine weather there is but little difficulty to enter. But the want of suffi cient lighthouses during the monsoon, or in blowing, hazy weather, is much spoken of. The two points (Henery and Kenery) at the entrance into the harbour, could with ease be provided with such edifices. The Shah Allum, which on her voyage to Calcutta was from stress of weather obliged to put back in the beginning of this week, was nearly wrecked too, near those islets ; but the captain's knowledge of the port saved him. The pilotage and lighthouse dues are suffi cient to maintain those advantages to the benighted mariners —being for instance on a 1200 ton ship 230 rs. for the for mer, and 180 rs. for the latter. The want of a sufficient es tablishment of life-boats and courageous crews at the light house is also talked of; and yet such is the actual system, that the poor sufferers in the Castlereagh declared that they could not hear the report of the guns, though not more than a mile from the lighthouse, because the orders are that no wadding is to be used, and the report is consequently weak ened. Surely on such occasions, and when the storm is raging, a conditional power might be allowed to the officer to give double efficacy to those warnings. But now when the loss is so severely felt even by the Hon. Company, the necesssity of something effectual being re quired cannot be denied. Among those who witnessed the inutility, or rather the positive inadequacy, of the means used on Wednesday was the Hon. G. W. Anderson, third member of the council t • he went to the lighthouse, to see if there was any means of saving his nephew, who was coming by the Lord W. Bentinck, but he saw that with those means nothing could be done, and his nephew perished. He can bear the testimony to the, truth of these observations. There were 114 men of the Marine Bettellion on board the Lord Castlereagh, 19 of whom are missing ; and of the 24th N. I. there were 176, of whom 32 are missing. There are 15 in hospital suffering from wounds and bruises of various sorts, but none of them supposed to be in danger. One native officer and one sepoy have died of injuries received on leaving the ship or landing. Captain Tonks, the Com mander of the Lord Castlereagh, and one of the most skilful and experienced officers in our port, was picked up from a spar. We have received no account of the casualities amongst the crew, but know them to be heavy indeed. Dead bodies are now coming fast ashore, and already a great many have been buried. The body of Captain Earle, of the 24th Regiment N. 1., was found yesterday afternoon, and interred in the burial ground at Colaba. Mrs. Fraser, whose body was washed on shore from the Bentinck, was also buried last evening in the Scotch burial ground. A quantity of specie which was on board the Castlereagh, was saved through the presence of mind of Captain Tonks. He caused several barrels to be emptied, the money to be put into them, and then the bung-holes corked and leather to be nailed over them. The barrels were then thrown over- board, and have been since found on the shore. The number of the persons lost from the Castlereagh is stated to be from 70 to 80. iasrnuc thousand individuals employed in that trade, of which num ber seven-tenths are Indians, are remainder are blacks and coloured people, with but a few whites. MR. SIMPSON The Montreal Gazette of Tuesday publishes a letter, dated St. Peter's, Fort Snelling, 20th July, 1840, which, we regret to say, corroborates the first dreadful version of the death of Mr. Simpson, nephew of Governor Simpson, of Hudson's Bay, and of his two companions. The letter in the Gazette is written by Mr. Peter M`Leod, formerly of Montreal. It is very circumstantial in its details, which are substantially the same as formerly given. St. Peter's is about 400 miles nearer the scene where the horrible event took place than St. Louis, from whence the first account of the tragedy was re ceived. " You will recollect that, for the past two years, Mr. Dease and Mr. Simpson (nephew of Governor Simpson), of the Hudson's Bay Company, have been employed in the pro secution of Arctic discovery, by order of the company. Some time in February or March last these gentlemen returned, on their way to England, with reports of their discoveries, &c. Mr. Dease went by the usual route, via the Lakes. Mr. Simp son (for what reason I have not learned) separated from his companion, and determi ne d u p on p rocee di ng t o E ng l an d v i a the L nited States. By this way, perhaps, he deemed it the most expeditious route. His party consisted of three men and a boy. A few days after their departure from the colony Mr. Simpson showed symptoms of a deranged mind, and, in fact, ordered his men to turn with him, and go back to the colony. They did so, and returned seventy miles. Again he ordered his men to wheel about and come southward, re questing them to hasten their horses, in order to overtake a party of colonists, with whom they set out in the first instance. They were proceeding thus, when, on the evening of the 14th, just after the moon rose, and while the men were employed about their horses, and preparing the encampment, Mr. Simpson, without any provocation, (as reported to me.) took his double-barrelled gun, and first shot John Bird dead, and then tired the second barrel at Le Gross, a Canadian. who fell and survived but a few moments. The boy was a son of Le Gross ; and he and the other person, a young man named Bruce, without any interference on the part of Mr. Simpson, took two of the horses, and set out to overtake the party of colonists, whom they came up with that night. The next day, six men returned to the scene of disaster, and discovered Mr. Simpson's tent extended on the ground, and, supposing him to be under it, they were afraid to approach too close until they were certain where he was.. They, therefore, fired two vollies over where they supposed him to be lying. Im mediately afterwards, the report of a gun was heard from between where the two carts stcod. Upon going to the place, they found Mr. Simpson extended near his mattress, with the muzzle of his gun immediately between his eyes. The nightcap he wore is much blackened and burned. Having buried these three unfortunate men in the plain, the colonists proceeded to this place, where they arrived a few days ago. No reasons have been assigned for Mr. Simpson's conduct but one ; and, from all I can learn, he must have been la bouring under a melancholy aberration of intellect, and sup-, posed that Bird and Le Gross intended killing him for the purpose of getting possession of his papers."

PROVINCIAL THEATRICALS.—If theatricals have declined in the metropolis, says one of the London Sunday papers, the provinces present as fearful a picture. Bath (once the nursery of the stage) has ceased to pay for years. The pro prietor of the Liverpool Theatre resigns this season. The York circuit, now confined to Hull, Leeds, and York, hav ing ceded Sheffield, Doncaster, and Wakefield, barely pays eachTlie y N e o a r r ssic . Charles manager arlesi is illha f s or g c u e i c t l te t d o its expenses. Alanl e y' s c i rcu i t has been long in the market. loseo Brighton p o t n l v t s andi that theatre is a commonw ea lth, a li as a common Vertyn po'. m a e br m u Mr. H. Bennett manages to make Shrewsbury, Coventry, and Worcester pay ; we question if any one else could. Munro does the same at Birmingham, but lost money at Leicester. Beverley extracts, with difficulty, a living from Sunderland and Shields. Young Elliston could do nothing with Leamington and Stratford-upon-Avon. Barnett does wretchedly in all his towns, save Oxford. Sloman made money at Dover, Rochester, &c., but by a system to which slave-driving was kindness ; at present those theatres do not pay. Shalders scrambles on at Southampton, Portsmouth, &c., hut scarcely lives. Ternan (on the new broom principle) has done tolerably at Newcastle ; but every one of the theatres enumerated have been invariably deserted when Batty or Ryan, or other equestrian troops, came in their vicinity. Dissenters are taught that it is sinful to go to the play, yet they visit equestrian and mountebank displays. In towns where a company of eight gentlemen and six ladies, at salaries not averaging 30s. per per week each, cannot exist a month, an equestrian company, involving at least ten times the ex pense, will remain (making money) for six, seven, or eight weeks. This is the present state of dramatic taste in the provinces. The returns to the authors under Bulwer's act show that the worst and most trifling pieces are most fre quently played, and that the amount received from country theatres is decreasing week after week.

It appears from recent statistical returns, that the daily cost to the country of each prisoner in Newgate is Is. 91d., or 12s. Sid. weekly, and that the average daily cost of indi vidual prisoners in the London, Middlesex, and Surrey gaols, is Is. lid. or 7s. 81d. weekly. Now let us look "at home," where " Charity" ought "to begin." For the poor in the Cirencester Union, in the counties of Gloucester and Wilts, the Somerset House triumvirate, gave it under their hands and seals, on the 10th of October, 1836, that the dietary for able-bodied men should be 61bs. 2oz. of bread per week ; soz. of bacon, (the only meat allowed !) 7oz. of cheese, 61bs. of potatoes, 2 pints of soup, and 7 pints of gruel. Now we should like to examine the quality of these provi sions, and we should like to ascertain the justness of their weight It might not be a very difficult effort perhaps to form a tolerably accurate idea of the quality of the bacon, cheese, &c. likely to be sent to a workhouse, by a screwed down contractor, or of the richness of the soup. By the bye, what is the soup made of ? According to this dietary system, the weekly cost of provisions for an able-bodied, hard working pauper, [they take care that the paupers shall have a " full allowance" of labour, however deficient they may be in food,] will be less than two shillings --or perhaps what a Newgate prisoner's diet costs daily ; and we have seen some dietary tables, in which the weekly cost has been less than fifteenpence ! Suppose the weight of the arti cles to be honest, and their quality to be fair, we take it for granted that the quantity is not adequate to the due sustenance of nature. Nor are five ounces of bacon per week a sufficient proportion of animal food for either man or woman. The contrast thus furnished Letween the diet of prisoners and that of paupers, must be anything but pleisant to the feelings of the latter; many of whom, in their better days, have contributed largely to the poor-rates themselves, and kept excellent tables of their own. Nothing would delight us more than to possess the power of subject ing the triumvirate to just such a diet (the" gruel" included) as that of the unions for just three months, and we most earnestly exhort every elector, whether tory, whig, or radi cal, to demand from every candidate who may solicit his suffrages at the next election, a solemn pledge that he will exert himself to the utmost of his power to obtain some al teration of the present heartless, cruel, un-English mode of administering the poor-laws. We freely assent to the justness of the position, that nei ther gaols nor workhouses ought to be formed upon the mo del of palaces, or of luxurious banquetting halls ; they ought not to be rendered objects of attraction to the idle, the un principled, or the infamous. On the other hand we contend that neither thieves nor paupers should be tasked beyond their physical powers—should be injured in their frames or constitutions—should be subjected to disease or starvation. In this humane, benevolent, and enlightened age—this age of black emancipation and religious freedom--the thieves have wonderfully little to complain of. So averse are the " lib -rals " in their spirit of super-philanthropy, to the in flicton of corporeal punishment, that even a murderer can hardly obtain an introduction to the final executioner of the law. Lucky is it for the thieves that they are not under the control of the amiable and tender-hearted poor-law commis sioners.

EXTRAORDINARY DISEASE IN A HORSE. — On Tuesday an immense tumour, composed of immense layers of a yel lowish oily fat, was cut off the inside base of the tongue, where it joins the windpipe. of a very valuable thorough-bred horse, belonging to Mr. Vanderkiste, collector of customs, Limerick. The poor animal was for some days unable to swallow anything, and was in consequence rapidly wasting, and must ultimately have died. Two medical gentlemen, who merely visited the sufferer as a matter of curiosity in a comparative point of view, ventured to out the tumour out, which they succeeded in accomplishing, and in a moment after the horse rose off the ground, spat up this extraordinary tumour, fully as large as a Seville orange, and drank a quan tity of water. To reach the tumour it required the entire length of the arm inside the teeth. This is perhaps the most extraordinary disease ever known to have existed in such a situation. The horse is at Mr. D. Barrington's stables, Pery-square, and doing well.—Limerick Chronicle. FATAL STAGE-COACH ACCIDENT.—On Monday afternoon the following fatal accident occurred to a coachman named Burnett, who was driving the new company's London and Bristol stagecoach on its way to town. It appeared that Burnett had started from Thatcham, for London, about half past three o'clock in the afternoon, with a coach load of passengers and luggage ; about five miles from Thatcham, he stopped at a public-house, and, imprudently throwing the reins over the horses' backs, proceeded into the house, for the purpose of obtaining refreshment. Whilst standing at the door, drinking some gin and water, he perceived the old company's coach pass by at full speed, which he had just before passed on the road. Thehorses of the new company's coach, hearing the others pass, immediately started off at full gallop. Burnett instantly threw down his glass, proceeded after them, and, with great difficulty, succeeded in laying hold of the reins of the leaders. He, however, was thrown down by them, and severely trampled upon, and the wheels of the coach passed over his head, body, and legs, and when picked up in a few seconds life was extinct. He was con veyed to the Hare and Hounds, where his body awaits an inquest. Some of the passengers now jumped off the coach, and the horses, •being without control, .shot forward with increased rapidity, until they arrived at a place called " Jack's Booth," about two miles further on, where they were stopped by some ostlers. Burnett was one of the oldest stage coach men, having driven the " White Hart" and other coaches upon that road upwards of twenty years, and on this occasion was driving for another man, unable to perform his duty from illness. He has left a widow and two children, who are well provided for. He was, we understand, the brother of Mr. Burnett, who drives one of the coaches from Bristol. — Bristol Journal. TOUGH TRIPE.—A girl belonging to thi s n eighbourhood, was engaged as dairy-maid at Craignish, Argyleshire, last summer. The first night after going home, as the family had supped on tripe, before she could get her work in the byre brought to a close, Kate was told that she would find her share in a pot on the fire. Impelled by a sharp appetite, Kate approached one of the pots, carrying it off into a cor ner, and then and there commenced an attack upon what she conceived to be a square yard of tripe. She found it darkish in the colour, about the toughest fabric of human provender that ever encountered her ivory ; but, as she was young, and had never before tasted tripe, she felt ashamed to reject that of which she had been told that all the family had partaken ; and tore away at it, now using her teeth, now her hands, and, at times breaking it over her knees, till she managed to bolt the whole of it ; inwardly ejaculating "it was more like the hide than the inside of any best she ever saw." All night her horrible nightmare moans so loudly indicated that Kate's digestive powers were being severely tested, that the gude wife administered a bead of the small-still aqualo mas ter the tripe. It was found next morning, that Kate had taken the wrong pot, and had swallowed the dishclout, which had been left in the water to wash the dishes. Kate think ing it was a trick, her blood got up, and seized an old clout, with which she unceremoniously dislocated the shoulder blade of the eldest son, and shouting, as a sort of war-cry, " that naebody suld make a rope wark o' her stamach," let skelp at all till she had put the whole establishment to the rout. A reconciliation was effected ; but till the day she left, the " brawniest chiel" dare not mention tripe in Kate's pre -Ayr Advertiser.

For a large parcel of Belfast 96s was offered by a speculator and refused. Pickled Butter steadily remains as noted on Friday. Some warlike holders of Beef and Pork want more money. Peaceable folks do not how. ever, answer the helm, and the market is dull. Bacon held at 57s to ass, being is dearer, and in good demand.

The imports of British Grain, Four, and Oatmeal have been to a moderate amount; those from abroad arc comprised in 1,367 qrs. of Wheat; 11,013 brls. of Flour from the United States, 16,224 brls. from Canada. Duties have been paid upon 19,217 qrs. of Wheat; 8,427 qrs. of Oats; 1,963 qrs. of Peas; and 108,541 brls. of Flour. On Friday last the rate of impost ad vanced to 6s td per quarter, which will be paid on all arrivals during the next week, when it is expected to be again higher. At our market on Tuesday a moderate business was transacted in Wheat at the quotation of that day sen'night, and the sales of free foreign Flour were rather extensive, at 34s to 35s for United States, 33s to 34s per brl. for Canadian. Our millers and dealers have since been rather free buyers of both Wheat and Flour, and the full prices of Tuesday have been realized for both articles. Old Oats have been in very limited request, and are reduced in value Id to 2d per bushel. A few new were disposed of on Tuesday at 3s bd per 451b5., the quality very fine and well prepared, weighing 431bs. per imperial bushel : there have been no arrivals subsequently. Barley has been quite neglected. Beans and Peas remain without alteration in value. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT. 11 The demand continues exceedingly limited, and the market heavy; prices, however, are remarkably steady, the only particular change being in the fair and good fair qualities of Upland Cotton, which are difficult of sale, and may be quoted rather lower than last week. Speculators have taken 1100 bales of American. and Ex porters 600 American and 150 Madras. The public sale of 1000 Surat and 211 Peruvian, was well attended, but only 680 of the former were sold at *d per lb decline. 1000 bags :ea Island and 100 Stained will be offered by auction on Friday next.
