Liverpool. TORNADO AT NEW BRUNSWICK. ( From the New .York American of Saturday, Juue `2.) Last evening between five and six o'clock, the town of New Brunswick, and the neighbouring village of Piscataway was visited with a most destructive hurricane, which destroyed many houses, and caused three deaths—besides great loss and suffer ing. The number of houses destroyed or injured in New Brnns wick is estimated at from forty to fifty. In Piscataway three houses only are left standing ! We annex a letter received by the boat this morning. It is a singular circumstance, that in crossing from Hoboken, this morning, the engineer of the boat stated to us as evidene in his opinion, of some violent tornado having occurred in' the vicinity, that yesterday afternoon about two hours before sun down, a shower of leaves, small branches with their foliage quite fresh, sand, &c. fell suddenly on and around the boat, as from the clouds. The accounts now received, confirms too-abundantly, the opinion of this observing engineer. Extract from a letter dated New Brunswick, between 5 and . 6 o'clock, June 20th. Yesterday afternoon, between 5 and 6 o'clock, our city . was visited by a. tornado, which tpvad death and destruction in its course. -The:lower part of the city escaped entirely.

DENS'S THEOLOGY. The Bishop of EXETER rose to present a petition from a clergyman b-Aonging to the established church in Ireland, com plaining of the system of persecution adopted in Ireland towards the Protestants. The right rev. prelate took that opportunity to ask the noble lord at the, head of the government whether a letter signed " D. Murray," dated the 2.; July, and purporting to be written by Dr. Murray, one of his majesty's eominission ers of education in Ireland, had been received by him? Viscount Meelloce NE said that he had received a letter from Dr. Murray, stating that he had caused the letter alluded to by the right rev. prelate to be inserted in the newspapers, and call ing his (Lord Alelbourne's) attention to it. He immediately wrote back to inform the rev. individual that he had not read the letter, and then Dr. Murray forwarded to him a-manuscript covhooftt. Bishop of EXETER, said, that considering that the letter in question, proceeded froM a person holding so high an office under - the crown as did Dr. Murray, for in his, (the Bishop of Exeter's)_opinion there were few situations of greater trust than that ,which was occupied by those who were commissioners for uatiOnal education in Ireland, and considering also that that letter had been addressed to his majesty's prime Minister, the course which he at first resolved to take was to move that a copy: of it should be laid on the table of that house. - But there was something.in the letter which afterwards induced him to alter his determination. It contained an allusion to What had passed in their lordships' house, and be was - apprehensive that as that allusion might be considered a breach of privilege, it would be necessary, supposing the letter to be produced, that further pro- Ceedings should be taken With respect to it. Under these cir -1 cumstances, he . thought the best course he could take would be to give notice to the noble viscount (Melbourne) of his intention to ask that day whether or not such a letter had been received. The rev. prelate then defended himself against 'the charge of having attacked Dr. Murray* for the purpose of injuring the Irish board of education of which Dr. Murray is a member. He (the Bishop of Exeter) held in his hand a book put forth with the authority of the illustrissina et reverentutsim i archiepiscopi Dublinensis. It was a book which contained directions to the Rinnan catholic clergy for the. performance of divine service, and also a statement of the subjects to be 'entertained at the conference in the proyince of Leinster.: The book had also ap. p_ended to it a declaration on the part, of the bolialtseller, that Dens's complete Book of Theology was unanimously resolved, at a tneeting of the Roman catholic prelates W i itt n Dublin in September, 1808, to be_the best book on the subject whichcould he-published, "'as coittaining the most sea/re guidance for such ecclesiastics,as may,,by reason of the peculiar circumstances of this country, he deprived of the opportunity of referring tapub lie libraries or consulting those who may be placed in authority aver them : in consequence, an edition of this work wasordered to be printed by the present Publisher to the number of 3,000." It therefore_appeared that Dens's Theology was to stand in lieu of all other books to the Roman catholic clergy. The publish er then went on to say, that " inasmuch as the work is very rare, and scarcely to be met with, and inasmuch as his Grace Dr. Murray, Dr. Doyle, Dr. Keatirfg, and Dr. Kinchela, have made it the conference-book for the clergy of the province of Leinster, the publisher, as well to obviate the difficulty expe rieneed_by them as also to advance the cause of religion and morality in the other parts of the Irish church, is induced to re priot a limited nurnber of copies." That limited number ex tended to 3,000. Their lordships would peiceive that this book of Dens's was originally ordered to be republished in 1808; and when that edition was exhausted, another edition became neces sary, for which Dr. Murray had insured a sale by appointing it to be the conference-book for the clergy of the province of Leinster. .That fact, then, was sufficient to justify him in as serting that Dens's Theology was published with the authority of „Dr. Murray ; but there was another and more important fact to which he should call their lordships' attention. In the new edition of the work an 'additional volume was comprehended, containing the rules, conititutions,&c., of Pope Benedict XIV," and the supplementary matter was stated to be added with the sanction and approbation of his Grace the Most Rev. Arch bishop Murray. He really thought it would be wasting their lordships' time to press this matter further. He had, in his judgment, sufficiently established that the work had been sent forth under the authority of Dr. Murray, and it appeared, ac cording to the advertisement, to be specially intended for the edification of the Roman catholic clergy, for their secure guidance, and to enable them to advance the cause of re ligion and morality in the other parts of the Irish church. Such clergymen as felt disposed to possess. the work were particularly directed to send their names to certain booksellers. A supplementary scheme had been issued with the express sanction of Dr. Murray, containing matters not only 'offensive to protestant ears, but to those of foreign Roman Catholics, and doctrines which would not be tolerated in catholic countries had been published in Ireland. In the letter which had been lately published in the newspapers,_ Dr. Murray stated that the character of Dens's Theology had been entirely misstated. ." I did not," he said, " make it the text-book for our theological ”conferences; for, on such occasions, we have no such book, if by this expression we are to understand the work of any writer whose opinions (when not defined by the church as articles of faith) the clergy are required, or in any manner expected, to maintain." He must frankly confess, that he had not the same opinion of a " text-book" as Dr. Murray appeared to enter tain. In his judgment, a text-book was not so much an autho rity of itself as a book pointing out, when authority was re quired, where the canons, the decrees, and the hulls of the popes, which were to be considered the foundation of the Roman catholic faith, might be found. It was in that sense alone that be (the Bishop of Exeter) meant to say that Dens's Theology was put Jinni as a text-book. He must also state, that book was not regarded in Ireland quite so lightly as it ap peared to be by Dr. Murray. He had seen only that day a letter published in the newspapers, written by Mr. Nowlan, who had not very along ago conformed to the church of England ; and it was a very strong evidence of the sincerity of that gentle man's conversion, that he had chosen the present time for' de claring that he had in February last retracted the errors of the church of Rome, and enrolled himself among the followers of the church of England. In the course of a very able letter he said that he had refused pecuniary assistance, and that in aban doning what he considered a rich and pampered church, he sur rendered himself on the grounds of conscientious belief to the service of a church which was insulted and persecuted. He (the Bishop of Exeter) feared that there existed too mui h rea son for the latter observation. In reference to a remark made by Mr. Maguire, a Roman catholic priest, that " the Roman catholic religion rested on the authority of Johanna Sout }note as much as on that of Peter Dens," Mr. Nowlan observed, " Pray, when, and under what influence, did you write this dreadful fabrication ? Did vou imagine your assertions could pass unnoticed ? Pray, sir, 'let me ask you, is not Dens's The ology one of the reference-books of Maynooth college, where you and I have studied, though not as contemporaries? Is not that book left in the pulic library for the perusal of all the students? Again, had you or I ever heard of its perusal being prohibited? Hail you not often made its contents your answers for class ? And with all these questions, which must be an swered in the affirmative, will you still assert that your religion no more rests upon the authority of Peter Dens than upon the authority of Joanna S ou th co t e .? Many students had copies of _it in my time for their own use, and were never prevented from reading it. When 1 officiated as a Homan clergyman, many of the priests' conferences in Ireland were regolated by the ques tions and answers from Dens's Theology. To these circum stances must be added the fact, that Dens's opinions are as much respected in Maynooth as Blackstone's Commentaries in the protestant universities of England." He; therefore, was entitled to say, that Dens's Theology was not regarded as a trifling authority in Ireland. He should now endeavour to ex plain to their lordships what the nature of these conferences was, in, which Dens's work was ordered to be used as a text book. In Ireland, and in Roman catholic countries, the con ferences of the bishops with their clergy were different from the meetings of the clergy in protestant countries. They were held for the purpose of instructing the Roman catholic clergy, who professed a character widely distinct from that professed by the protestant clergy. They insisted on having an authority and dominion over the conscience s and conduct of the people, which no protestant clergyman ever presumed to dream of. He would read a short extract from a most authentic book, the Roman Catechism, sent f or th by th e au th or it y o f t h e council o f T ren t, and which the Rom an ca th o lic p re lat e s, when examined before the committees of parliament in 1835, admitted to be a decisive authority from which no Roman catholic could appeal—" First, the faithful must be taught how great the no bility and excellency of this sacrament is, ' For seeing the bishops and priests' are, as it w e re, th e i n terpreters and am bassadors of God, who, in God's name, teach men the divine law and the rules, and ' personate God himself in the earth,' ' they are worthily called not only angels-hut gods also, because they hold the power and the name of the immortal God among us. These were the words of a most authoritative work, declared to be so by Dr. Murray and all the Roman catholic prelates ; and they were not mere words, but they were acted on every day. Fur a proof of this he would refer their lord ships to a matter of public notoriety. In an inquiry which was carried on in. another place a Roman catholic clergyman de clared (and his honest avowal was honourable to him) that "in the confessional he was as it were God." But it might be said the itaian cathotfc-cfergy-Were not toldama.for ilia; 1.14,t,the y belonged to a religion which they believed to be true; that they must conduct themselves as befitted the ministers of that religion ; ' and that the conferences were necessary to inform them of what the heads of the church thought a fit and right mode of acting in the confessional. He was not so ready to admit the last point as the former, because he found that foreign catholic states were so entirely aware of the danger of allowing the priests to he instructed by such hooks as they might select themselves, or the bishops appoint, that they had thought it necessary to exert all the power, in .some instances despotic power, of the govern ment, for the purpose of preventing the Roman catholic priests from being instructed in books other than those authorised by the government. Tuscany, as appeared from the report of the :committee of the House of Commons on the regulation of Roman 'catholic subjects in foreign countries, page 17, had taken care to ordain that " the regular clergy were to study theology fr om • books permitted by the sovereign." In this country, where the government was not absolute, it was too much to expect that similar power could be exerted by the state; but the facts he had stated were sufficient to point out the danger which might arise from permitting Roman catholic bishops to select such books as they pleased for the instruction of the clergy. Ile must take leave to state that it was not easy to understand what honest purpose could be served by the discussion in the con ferences of such questions as the following : " Anne licitur ritiis infidelium tolerarel" . " Anne cogendi infideles grenao.fideliam sese adjungere ?" " Qum pante contra lobe ista infectos luta?" The answer given in Dens's Theology to the• first of those questions was very remarkable. It was there stated the Roman catholic clergy were not at liberty to tolerate the rites of here tics, unless for the purpose of preventing some great incon venience to the church. It was declared that whenever the clergy had the power, it became their duty not to tolerate tfie worship of heretics. The second important question wasian swered in the same book, which, as he contended, was published under the authority of Dr. Murray. The question to which he alluded was, whether heretics ought to be compelled to come over to the true church; and the answer was that they were to be compelled. Dr. Murray, in his published letter, described Dens's Theology as a work "comprising 4 large mass of very valuable matter, though containing some obsolete opinions; " and that learned individual mentioned as one of these obsolete opinions the right of temporal states to compel their subjects, by confiscation and other punishments, to embrace religious doc trines of which their consciences could not approve. If that were anobsolete opinion, why was it discussed at the conferences ? Was it intended that that opinion should cease to be obserete ? But he must be perinitted to observe, that some of these opinions were not obsolete in Ireland, however they might be considered in other countries. The right rev. prelate, after adverting to some other circumstances for the purpose of skewing that opinions not recognised in catholic states were not considered obsolete in Ireland, proceeded to read the following extracts from the Douay Bible, published iu 1816 under the express authority of Dr. Murray's predecessor and coadjutor. Dent., xvii.. 12.—" He that will be proud and refuse to obey the commandment of the priest—that man shall die." Note.—" Here we . see what authority God was pleased to give to the church guides of the Old Testament, in deciding, without appeal, all controversies relating to the law, promising that they should not err therein (and punishing with death such as.proudiy. refused•to obey their decisions;) and surely he has •not.done less for the church guides of the Isiew Testament." Matt., xiii„ 292—" No,, lest. perhaps, gathering up the cockles, you may root up the wheat also together with it." Note.--" The good mast tolerate the evil, when it is so strong that it cannot be redressed without danger and disturbance of the whole church; and commit the matter to God's judgment in the latter day. Otherwise, where ill men . (be they heretics or other malefa:rors) may be punished or Suppressed without disturbance and hazard of the good, they may and ought, by public authority, either spiritual or temporal, to be chastised or executed." Matt., xxvii. ' 2•1.—" Innocent of the blood of this just man." Note.—" Though Pilate was much more innocent than the Jews, Sic., yet he is damned for being the minister of the people's wicked will against his own conscience. Even as all officers are, and especially the judges and juries, which execute laws of temporal princes against catholic men : for all such are guilty of innocent blood, and are nothing excused by that they execute the laws which are unjust, for they should rather suffer death themselves than put an innocent man to death." The last was a very i important passage, because one of the ques tions propounded n the conferences, and to which no answer was given in the books, was " What is the duty of judges and juries ?" That Bible was a very expensive work, and sold in numbers, in, order to enable the people to purchase it the more easily. It had not been published, however , more than twelve months, when it was reviewed in th? British Critic, and he well recollected the cry of indignation which was raised against the publication. When the opinion of the public had been unequi vocally expressed, Dr. Troy, the late Roman catholic Archbishop of Dublin, sent for the printer of the work, and inquired how he ever could think of publishing such a work, and of stating that it was published with his (the archbishop's) sanction ? The printer asked the archbishop whether he had not authorised Mr. Macnamara to publish a Bible with notes ? Dr. Troy replied in the affirmative. " And did not your grace," continued the printer, "appoint Mr. to be the person to inspect those notes ?"—" To be sure I did," replied the archbishop.—" Then this is the very book," rejoined the printer, " so prepared and published." These circumstances were stated in a letter.which was made public at the time. Ile (the Bishop of Exeter) had now said enough to convince their lordships that Dr. Murray, believing in such opinions and enforcing such a system of ip struction_ for the Romish clergy of Ireland, rendered it .very questionable whether he was a proper person to 611 the office of one of the commissioners of education in Ireland. The rev. prelate concluded by moving that the petition of the Rev: James Robert Page, a clergyman of the united church of England and Ireland, be read and ordered to lie on - the.table. The petition having been read, • Lo'id MEI.BOURNE shortly addressed the house. His lordship expressed his reluctance to enter on the present discussion, and remarked that although - it had been conducted by the right rev. prelate in.terms sufficiently unctions, yet that the temper and spirit were likely to call up ancient recollections and produce animosity and discord. There was only one part of thequestion that at all related to him (LordAelbourne) or to his colleagues, as referred to in the speech which had been addressed to their lordships—he meant as to whetherthe conduct of Dr. Murray in sanctioning or recommending, using or employing this work of one Peter Dens, of whom he ventured to say their lordships had never heard till his name had been introduced in certain public disputations which had lately taken place in London, but who, as he understood, was a professor of theology in the University of Louvain about the middle of last century,— whether in sanctioning that work Dr. Murray had acted in such a manner as utterly to disqualify him from longer filling the situation he held as one of the commissioners of education in Ireland? He (Lord Melbourne) was no doubt extremely sorry that Dr. Murray was a Roman catholic, and with the views he (Lord Melbourne) entertained as to the tenets and principles of the Roman catholic religion, sincerely and deeply did he regret the fact of its prevalence in Ireland. But he must be allowed to say that he was not prepared to admit that Dr. Murray's having adopted that work, as far as he had heard it represented and characterized, with such an act as should disqualify him from holding his situation at the board. (Hear, hear.) He most distinctly declared that as his opinion. It was not for him on that occasion to enter into a discussion of the doctrines of the Rom-an catholic religion; it was not for him to canvass the merits of the work of Dens; no doubt they were sufficiently objectionable, and such objectionable doctrines, he was ready to admit., were to be found in almost every Roman catholic production of the period in which Dens lived. No one ever maintained that the Roman catholic church was a tolerant church; but having admitted Roman catholics to hold office in Ireland, how could they maintain that they. were ipso facto disqualified, because they professed the tenets and doctrines of their religion, and acted upon or recommended those works which undoubtedly had the authority of their church ? (Hear, hear.) It might have been the precept of the catholic religion to extirpate heretics, hut to extirpate heretics had also been the principle and practice of protestantisin in Ireland. (Hear, ear.) The confiscations of Ulster by James 1., the fire and sword which Oliver Cromwell carried through Ireland for the avowed purpose of extirpating the Roman catholic religion, might surely be set off against a single chapter on heresy Lo be found in the work of Peter Dens, professor of theology in the university of Louvain. (Cheers.) The Marquis of WESTMEATH said it would be a reproach to protestants not to oppose themselves to the system of persecu tion which in Ireland had been so energetically adopted against them. He regarded the Rornish priests not so much as clergy, but as political agents, endeavouring to obtain political power let the consequences be what they might—of confiscation or ex termination—to those who professed a faith different from their own. He thought the speech of Lord Melbourne would be pro ductive of great evil in Ireland. He could not approve of the concessions about to be given to the Roman catholics of Ire land, and was.grateful to the Bishop of Exeter for having called the attention of their lordships to the present subject. At the close of the debate, in which the Duke of Wellington, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Earl of Limerick, Viscount • Duncannon, Lord Ashburton, the Marquis of Lansdowne, and `the Earl'of Farnhaui took part, the petition was ordered to lie on the table, and the house adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—ThuftsDAT The Speaker took the chair at twelve o'clock. Several pri vate bills were advanced a stage; after which, on the motion of Lord EBRINGToN, the house went into committee on the weights and measures bill. The consinetation of this measure occupied the house until three o'clock, when the chairman reported pro gress, and the house adjourned. The Speaker resumed the chair at six o'clock. Several peti tions, &e. were presented, praying that the rights and property of freemen might be preserved. Lord Nlorpeth laid on the table'of the house papers relative to general education in Ireland. YARMOUTH AND YORK ULECTIoNS. On the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the following mem bers were appointed a committee of inquiry into the bribery alleged to have taken place in these boroughs at the last general election, viz., Mr. Pazakerley, Lord F. Egerton, Mr. M. Phi lips, Sir J. Y. Buller, Mr. Eiphinstone, Mr. Nicholls, Mr. Tancred, Mr. J. Young, (Cavan,) and Mr. Hardy. ADMISSION OF LADIES TO HEAR THE DEBATES. Mr. G. BERKELEY moved " that a select committee be ap pointed to consider the best means of setting apart and adapting a portion of the strangers' gallery for the admission of ladies during the debates, the mode of their entrance to be regulated by the Speaker, (loud laughter,) and to consider also the means of making similar provision with reference to the new House of Commons." The honourable gentleinan said, in support of his motion, that the practice prevailed in the Irish parliament, ex isted in the French Chamber of Peers, and was recognised in the House of Lords at the present moment. As a lady might wear the crown of England, he did not see why ladies should not exercise political influence, and it was well known thatthev possessed a large share of political intelligence, and that their influence often decided county and borough elections. The presence of ladies would,le thought, greatly improve the cha racter of their debates, as they would be carried on before a purer audieuce, and would have the good effect of checking the coarse personalities of which they had had too many specimens in the present session. The house divided ou this question—For the motion, 153;. against it, 104: majority, 49. The announcement of the result was followed by loud cheers. A committee having been appointed, Colonel. PE'RCIVAL moved that Mr. Pease be also on the committee. (Loud laugh ter.) Agreed to. On the motion of another member, the name of Mr.Ruthven, see., was also added. This nomination created a loud laugh, which was increased when it was announced that the committee was empowered " to send for persons, papers, and records." AttINICIPALCORPORATION; BILL On the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the house went into committee on this bill, which, from the alterations made, or p'ro posed to be made, had been recommitted for further consi deratiort. • On the 10th clause being read, Mr. PRAED moved es an amendment—" Provided always, and be it enacted, that in every borough, whether the same be a county of itself or not, where the right to vote in the election of members or a member to serve in parliament for such borough is, according to the laws now in force, enjoyed bv.persons entitled to vote in virtue of some corporate right s nothing whatsoever in this act con tained shall in anywise hinder or prevent any person or persons Who' now enjoy, of who hereafter, according to the laws now in A9r.c.e4 might have acquired, such corporate right, from enjoying or, a (nun ing" - stieh 'COrporate right—fol.-the , -puipose—uf...wating, such elections." On this amendMent the committee divided. For the original clause, 262; for the amendMent, 234: majority, 28. . Mr. J. Ports°milt moved a second amendment to the effect, " that in any city or borough which had the right of returning members to parliament before the Ist June, 1835, any person should have an inchoate right to vote in right of his birth or of servitude, should have those rights preserved to him as before the passing of this act." On this amendment the numbers—Ayes, 203; noes, 234. Majority against the motion, 31. The oilier clauses up to 48 were agreed to with some verbal amendments. The house adjourned at two o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS.-FIuDAY. The Earl of ABERDEEN presented a petition from Aberdeen against the Aberdeen university bill. LADIES IN PARLIAMENT. Lord .131touGtts hi said he observed, by the votes of the othei house of parliament, that it was intended to provide accommo dation there for ladies who wished to hear the debates. Now, he objected to the introduction of ladies into their lordships' house; he did not like to see politics introduced into private so ciety, and, in his opinion, ladies might be infinitely better em ployed elsewhere. He should, therefore, most certainly, if no other noble lord did so, object to such a course being adopted in that house. No person could feel a more anxious, entire, and absolute devotion to the fair sex than he did (a laugh), but he wished to see them always in their proper places. (A laugh.) The Marquis of LANsnowNE said, there were places in the house that might be used for the accommodatio❑ of ladies, but the word " ladies" had never 'been mentioned; and, so far as he was concerned in drawing up any report, it never should. (A laugh.) CORPORATIONS.-SIR FRANCIS PALGRAVE , AND MR. HOGG. Lord WHAIINcLIFFE, after adverting to the protest of Sir Francis Palgruve against the report of - the municipal corpora tion commissioners, which protest had been laid on their lord ships-table, said that he could see no reason why that of Mr. Hogg, another dissenting commissioner, should not also be pro duced. He would, therefore, ask the first Lord of the Treasury whether he had any objection to lay the correspondence with Mr. Hogg before the house? and, next, whether he had any objection to lay upon the table the . grounds on which Mr. Hogg, dissented from the other commissioners, not as a report, but as a protest. - Viscount MELBOURNE said, when the commission was ap pointed it was not intended that each commissioner should pre sent a separate report ; that being the case it had been deemed right by ministers not to receive Mr. Hogg's paper in that offi cial character. Lord W KNCLIFFIL-Why was Sir Francis Palgrave's pro test received? Viscount IVIELBouttNE answered that it was received erro neously by the then secretary fot the home department. Several bills were advanced a stage, and the house adjourned at seven o'clock. HOUSE OI COMMONS.-INIDAy The Speaker took the chair at four o'clock. Mi. LEES took his seat for the borough of Oldham. Several petitions were presented to the house upon which constersations arose, but none of them were of any particular importance. THE RIOTS AT BELFAST On the question that the house resolve itself into committee on the municipal corporations bill, Mr. Hume introduced the subject of - the "recent affray at Belfast, observing that, being an Orange riot, the subject was one of great importance; that it appeared,. by the evidence taken before the committee 'on Orange associations in Ireland, that Orange lodges not only prevailed throughout, the country, buteven extended to' many of the regiments. Upon being called to order, Mr. Hume said he would, if necessary, move an amendment to the effect that the' evidence taken before the committee be laid before the house. His object was to have the evidence respecting Orange lodges in the army, and the orders of the c immander-in-chief in respect of them,• laid upon the table, and when both were there he should then bring forward the subject. His object was to impeach ' individual of great station of high crimes and ntisdemean rs. If it were agreed . that the evidence to which he allude, should be laid before the house he would not say one word more. Mr, W. MATT 'v , as chairman of the committee, begged to say that the number of witnesses was so great, and the testi mony was of a nature so contradictory, that it would not be fair - to publish the evidence already given without suffering the case on the other side to be concluded. He begged to add, that the committee had observed with regret that communications the very reverse of truth, respecting the evidence and proceed ings, had gone forth to the public. After'soine further conversation, Mr. Hume gave notice that on Monday he would move.ter the production of this evidence. MUNICIPAL CoRruRATIoNS a BILL. On the !notion of Lord JOHN licssitil . the house went into committee on this bill. The remaining clauses, schedules, and preamble were agreed to, and the bill was ordered to be read a third time on Monday (yesterday).—The house adjourned at two o'clock. ASSIZE . INTELLIGENCE. HERTFORD, FRIDA Y.—Thomas Darby, aged 29, was indicted for the wilful murder of William Radley, at Eastwick, on the 6th instant. The prisoner had married the mother o f the de ceased ;'both Were agricultural labourers. The prisoner, when occupied in mowing grass, had partaken of some refreshnients with his step-son. Shortly after Darby became quarrelsome, and,` any apparent reason or provocation, struck hini • with his scythe, which, passing through his body, caused his al— most iminediate death. When takeu into custody by his, bellow-"' labourers he said :—" He could not help'doing it, it was, piafici in his heart" Theviiiiioner Was found Guilty, and sentence to be executed' on Monday (yesterday). • ARINGDON,i THURSDAY.—FORGERY.—James Rook was" in ' dieted for forging a check upon Messrs. 'Stephens and Co., bankers, Reading. The prisoner was a butler in the service of Wni. Payne, Esq., a gentleman residing near Maidenhead, and on the .12th June obtained cash for a check for LIU pur porting to be drawn by his master. On the discovery of the forgery the prisoner confessed that he had been advised to pro cure blank checks and fill them up for small. sums, ,which he could easily obtain cash for of the tradesmen in the neighbour hood. He.was found Guilty. Sentenced deferred. NORTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY.—ARSON.—Henry Newill, aged 45, was indicted for having., on the 2d February, set fire to a stack of straw and an outbuilding in the farm-yard of Joseph Chettle of Chelvaston. The prosecutor and - three other farmers, one of whom was named Smith, held farms at Chelvaston un der Earl Fitzwilliam. Smith was the owner of four or five cot tages, in one of which he resided, and the next adjoining to him was rented by the prisoner. In the month of October. Smith received an anonymous letter threatening to burn down a house which he had built—this letter was proved to be in the prison er's handwriting. The evidence adduced was of a circumstantial character. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. He was also found Guilty on another indictment of sending a threatening letter to Smith. Sentence deferred. BUCKINGHAM, THURSDIAY.—John Davis, 21, William Glass, 28, and William Smith, 20, were indicted for a highway robbery on John Longrove. The prosecutor, an extensive farmer at Great Marlow, is in the habit o; attending Wycombe market. On the sth of June, returning from that place to his home, he was attacked by the prisoners, who were armed with bludgeons, thrown on the ground, and robbed. Suspicion falling upon the prisoners, they were apprehended; one of them was identified by the prosecutor, and on the others some of the property of which he had been robbed was found. They were all found Guilty, and sentence of death was recorded against them. WINCHESTER, FRIDA Y.—Samuel Evans and Dick Curtis were tried for being present as seconds in the fight which took place some time ago at Andover, between Swift and Noon, to which the life of the latter fell a sacrifice. Mr. ltawlinson hav ing moved a postponement of the trial on the ground that the surgeon who attended Noon was still so ill that he could not appear, Mr. Justice Coleridge inquired, if the affidavit stated that it was probable he would be able to attend at the next as sizes, and on being informed in the negative, said he could not keep the charge hanging over their heads for ever; and if the case could not be made out without the evidence of the surgeon, the jury must be sworn, and the prisoners acquitted. This was then done. In addressing the prisoners, Mr. Justice Coleridge said they had considerable luck in the fact of the surgeon being so ill. They might depend upon it, if they continued that course of life, and any similar unfortunate event should occur, their sentence would be a severe one=probably transportation for life. They were then discharged. PAYMENT OF A FORGED BILL. A deeply planned and skilfully executed scheme for passing a forged bill of exchange, proved successful at Bolton on Saturday last. The facts of the case, we believe, are substantially as follows:--On Saturday last, an individual of gentlemanly ap pearance, and about thirty-five years of age, called at the resi dence of Peter Ainsworth, Esq., the member for Bolton, and asked iT he was at home. He was told that Mr. Ainsworth was in London, attending to his parliamentary duties, but, that his brother might be seen. To him therefore the stranger, who 'called himself William Parke, and represented himself to be a partner in the mercantile firm of William Parke and Co., 'Of Jamaica, piesented a letter of recommendation, dated Liverpool, signed " Thomas Braucker," in which Mr. Parke was recom mended to the attention of Mr. Ainsworth, as a gentlemin, the object of whose visit to Bolton way to purchase a quantity of machinery.—After some conversation Mr. Ainsworth addressed a note to Messrs. Bothwell; Flick. and Bothwell, brass and in n founders and machine makers, of the Union Foundry, Black horse-street, where Mr. Parke again mentioned his integtion to purchase machinery, and obtained an introduction by one of the partners to the Bank of 'Manchester branch bank, at Bolton, as a gentleman from Liverpool, recommended by Sir Thomas Brancker. There Mr. Parke entered into conversation with the cashier, and said he was desirous to dispose of a quantity of bullion. After some further conversation as to the terms, the cashier agreed to purchase some bullion, and it was to be sent to the bank on Monday morning. Mr. Parke then produced a bill of exchange, purporting to be drawn by John Bibby and Co., on Cropper, Benson and Co. for £486. 17s. at 60 days' date, and asked the cashier to oblige him by discounting it. In conse quence of the highly sans factory introduction, and the apparent rerpectability of Mr. Parke, this was done without hesitation. Mr. 'Parke received in exchange for his bill, six £5O. Bank of Eiuzland notes, and three £3O. Bank of. Manchester post bills (of which latter payment has been stopped,) and after promising to send the quantity of bullion agreed upon on Monday, he took his leave. Monday passed, however, without the arrival of the bullion; the cashier's suspicions were awakened, and, on writ ing to Liverpool, he ascertained that the letter of introduction, purporting to have been written by Sir Thomas Braneker,. was altogether a forgery, and that the bill of exchange was also a forgery. It was ascertained that Mr. Parke had left Bolton on Saturday for Manchester, in a post chaise, which was drawn to the door of the Star Inn, Deansgate ; but as no such person had stayed there, it is supposed that he had not entered the house; and no further traces of him have yet been discovered. A reward of £5O. has been offered for his apprehension. lie is described as a person of gentlemanly appearance and address, and rather pedantic in conversation, speaking loud and using words not generally current in ordinary intercourse. it is sus pected that he is the same individual described in a circular front the solicitor to the bankers' association to the bankers in 'town and country issued about a month ago,—as Wm. F. Jowett, who, it is stated, by forged letters of introduction and representing himself as a partner in the firm of Jowett and Crosbie, Kingston, Jamaica, had succeeded in negociating forged bills to a very considerable extent in the metropolis, at Bristol, and in several other parts of the kingdom, and who was supposed to be still practising these felonies with success, in the character of a commercial traveller. For the conviction of this individual, against whom the bankers were cautioned, we believe the association, or the parties sustaining the loss consequent upon the forgeries, offered a reward of £l3O. Without pretend ing to say that Mr. Parke and Mr. Jowett are indentical, we trust that Mr. Parke will, before long, be br -ught to receive the legal reward of sq . etever a trick as that which we have narrat ed.—Alanchester Guardian. LASS OF THE SHIP LOPER, OF NANTUCKET, A SOUTH SEA WHALEMANi , " May 25th, in the boat; in. let. 02 '22 south. " The ship Loper left llelcahtiano on the 21th ifey of March, hound to the United States, with a cargo of one thousand seven hundred barrels of sperm Oil on boarcl,..and,..having a small leak, which she had not lessened during the voyage, on the 6th of Mai the ship increased her. leak at the rate of six bundred strokes per hour, which continued a steady leak until the 19th of May, in lat. 03 5 south, long. in 37 55 West; at eleven o'clock p.m., the leak increased at the rate of three thousand strokes per hour, upon which all bands were called, and we commenced searching for the leak, which was found to be under the step of the mizzen mast, where it was impossible to stop it; when this was ascertained, a council of all hands was called, and we found it necessary to steer for the nearest land, therefore we hauled our wind and kept both pumps going; but this was all useless, for the leak still increased • on the '2oth of May, at nine o'clock, p.m., finding it impossi ble to keep the ship above water any longer, we were necessitated to take to our boats, leaving the ship with eight feet of water in the hold. On the 23d of May, the whole of the crew arrived at Maranham, in two'boats." SUICIDE AMONG THE HlNDOOS.—Examples of suicide are too common, even in Europe, to excite our astonishment; but among the Hindoos of a certain cast of mind the propensity to self-destruction absolutely amounts to a passion. Numerous are the anecdotes related in proof of this position. Of these one of the most curious occurred at Bombay. A Hindoo visionary, who, with many others of his nation, lived in the cocoa-nut woods near the city, had acquired, among those who knew him, the reputation of being an amiable man. He was in the pilule of life, and possessed a wife and four children. The natives, perhaps from respect to their European rulers, generally keep Sunday as a holiday. They who are rich retire to their coun try-houses and gardens, or walk cn a sandy beach near the see, wuich is also the resort of the common -people. One Sunday afternoon the above-mentioned visionary set out with all his family from his dwelling in the . woods towards the beach. On the way he informed his wife that ho had received an invitation from the Deity to go to heaven and take his family with him; that they were to proceed by water, and depart from Back Bay. What were the arguments by which he prevailed on his wife to enter into his madness unknown ; but they were successful. Accordingly the wretched parents proceeded to the beach, car rying each an infant in their arms. The two infants walked before them. In this manner they entered the water until the children sunk beyond their depth, and were carried off by (he waves. The two infants which they carried in their arms were thrown into the water, whither their mother voluntarily followed them. As the father was deliberately consummating, the sacri fice, he suddenly recollected that the disappearant, of a whole family in so unaccountable a manner might involve his neigh bour's in trouble ; he therefore returned to declare what he had done, and explain his motives, before he should finally depart, which led to his apprehension and execution. His punishment he endured with the utmost resignation, merely regretting the procrastination of his change in the metempsychosi, and that he had not been permitted to leave the world in his own way.— Forbe's Oriental Memoirs, -~ JULY - 2L 1535. TReASONABLE — CONDUCT OF THS The public indignation ought to be manifested without a mos tnent's - delay at the atrocious attack that bas been made on the King, through the medium of the leading whig paper, the/Worst ing chronicle of Tuesday last. It is impossible for any loyal subject to suffer such an overt-act of treason to escape public detestation. This it indeed a mark of the spirit of the times, as displayed by a desperate and reckless faction ! t t nd the bold ness of this open attack is still more confirmed by public placards, one of which. blazingly exhibited, at the end of Newgate-street, opposite the Post-office, was thus expressed, "A Protector loan r' —printed with the largest type, in black letters, on a scarlet ground. It behoves all loyal subjects to rally round the throne immediately, in order to afford his Majesty protection against the ministers who thus think fit to insult' and vilify him. The direct and unreserved taunts which they make use of,,and the threats which they have the insolence thui openly to publish,. require a prompt and immediate repudiation from the public, that his Majesty may be enabled and encouraged to treat the authors of these treasonable practices in the manner they de serve. The public peace and the Welfare of the copntry require it ; and it is hoped there will be no want of inclination to afford the. strongest proofs of a determination to come forward and support the throne.—Age. Burcnaas' HORSES. —Few things in a country life are more remarkable than the wild, triumphant, reckless speed with which a butcher's boy sweeps along the streets, and roads, and lanes, whether mounted, or in a rumbling, jolting cart, no accident ever happening, although it seems inevitable that the young gentleman must either kill or be killed, (perhaps both) every day of his life. How the urchins manage, Heaven knows ! but they do contrive to get holies on in a manner that pro fessed jockeys would envy, and *ith an appearance of ease to the animal,- and an evident enjoyment in the rider,,which pro duce sympathy rather than indignation in the lookers.on. It le seldom that an affair of plain, sober, serious business, (and the bringing us'our dinner does certainly belong to the most serious business of life,) is transacted with such"" overfloatiitig delight=- such gay, gallant, inexpressible good humour. The following anecdote (communicated by a friend) may serve to illustrate their peculiar dexterity in putting a steed on its mettle. --A gentleman of fortune, residing in Berkshire, who prides him self very highly on the superiority of his horses, was greatly struck by the trotting of a roadster, belonging to a butcher in his neighbourhood. The owner, however, refused to part with the animal, till an offer of seventy guineas proved 'irresistible, and the gentleman mounted his prize in high glee. To his utter astonishment, however, the brute could not be prevailed upon to exceed an ordinary amble. Whip and spur were tried in vain. For weeks he persevered in the hopeless attempt, and attest, he went in despair to the butcher, rating him in good set terms for having . practised an imposition. " Lord bless vim, sir," said the kn ight of the eleaver; . "he can trot as well as ever. .Here Tom," continued he, -calling to his boy, " get on his back." The youngster was scarcely idthe saddleoshen off the pony shot like an arrow. " How the.--deuce is this ?" in quired the astonished purchaser. "'Why he will trot just as fast with yon," returned the butcher, chuckling; "only you, must curry the basket !"-1 need hardly add, that the gentle man, not being able to comply with the condition, .was forced to make the best bargain he could with the original proprietor of the-steed.--Sperismais and Veterinary Surgeon's Magazine. RIOT AT • eota-GLAscow.--Ort MOndav evening last, a serious riot took place at Port-Glasgow. Thi.oughout the day, a number of idle people thronged the streets; and about half past IQ o'clock, on a preconcerted signal, they mustered in small parties, and, in a few minutes, amounted to somewhere about 90 or 100, armed with sticks, bludgeons, and other wea pons,'when they commenced an attack on every person they met, knocking .down, cutting, and otherwise ill using them. The Alarm Bell was rung, when the inhabitantsassembled, and drove the party out of town, they taking the road to Greenock. The mob assembled at the head of the Lanes leading from King Street to Fore Street—marcbed'down Church Street and Lyon's Lane, and formed six deep in Fore Street—marched westward along Fore Street and Shore Street, shouting and halooing, and flourishing their bludgeons. About fourteen persons were seri ously hurt—three of them dangerously wounded—ode of them Stabbed in the thigh, and another in the face; but as the business is in the hands of the Sheriff and Fiscal, we, at-present, abstain from saying more than that the party were Roman, Catholics, who pretended that their meeting was to attack on- Orange pro cession, which they say was intended. Several of the rioters are in custody.—Scottish Guardian. THE REV. ROBERT NEWTON. —This much-esteemed and valued minister has lately been the subject of inflammation of the lungs. The most efficient medical aid being within his reach, and active treatment being adopted, by the blessing or God, on the means employed, we have reason to believe that his life is considered out of danger. We have a deep apprehension, however, as to the results of this misfortune; both because the bangs will for a time be left weak and irritable, and because that kind of exposure to which Mr. Newton's active habits render him peculiarly liable, will necessarily limit his future exertions. —Watchman. NOVEL LACNEH.—There was on Thursday afternoon con veyed upon a carriage from the manufactory of Messrs. Tod & M'Gregor, engineers, to one of the cranes at the Broomielaw, a small iron steamer, having all her machinery and equipments. complete, and her steam up. She was at once lowered into the river, and immediately proceeded on a trial trip. This hand some little vessel is of tea horse power, and has been constructed by Messrs. Tod & M'Gregor for river navigation, to which she appears admirably adapted, her draft of water being about 20 inches. She is named the " Plata," and is, we understand, to be carried on the deck of a sailing vessel, her whole weight being under ten tons.—Scottish Guardiaa. POPERY IN AsstiucA.—We are much gratified to find from the Protestant Vindicator of New York, the Rev. J. A. James ; of Birmingham, encouraging his American friends in their op position to popery. The following appears in that paper for Feb. 25, of this year. Would that Mr. James and his friend* could act as decided a part for protestanism at home ! " Popery has directed a longing eye to that immense tract of land,. the- Valley of the Mississippi, and has already felt the inward heaving_ ambition to compensate-herself for her losses in the old world, by her conquests in the new. Tell them, that it will be a darker blot in their chronicles, than even the long cOn tinned system of slavery, if they permit the rapid, and swelling, and rolling tide of human beings, that is flowing towards that part of your territory, to be received into the begs and Marshes of Romanism. Should this be the case, rid part °flour la4dt will be safe, and a pestilential exhalation will arise, that will Aiffuse the moral mania over your whole country." Popery is so rapidly increasing in Detroit, that the priests are about esta blishing a newspaper to attack the Protestants. At Munro a new Mass-house is building, which will cost 30,000 dollars, one half of which has been sent from Europe. The. Nunnery, which was formerly under the management of Samuel B. Inuth, which was broken rip on account of the licentiousness of the. nuns, is to be re-established. The following circumstance will prove that papists in America are ready to kill any persons who become protestrints. A young popish girl went to reside with a protestant, and soon alter became so disgusted with the impudent behaviour, and filthy questions asked her at confes sion by the priest, that she would not go to him any more. This enraged the priest, and her parents, and other relatives. She then attended the sabbath school and protestant worship. Her father one Sunday followed her, and publicly threatened- to take her life, and it was with 'difficulty she escaped his popish vengeance.—Michigan.— Protestant -Journal. King Otho assumed the sovereignty of Greece on the Ist ult., but, according to letters from Athens received at Trieste, he has nut made so favourableari impression on the Greeks as had been expected. His refusal to conform to the Greek church has excited particular displeasure. Some of the Bavaria'ns are not so inflexible as their sovereign. "Travellers from Larissa," according to the German papers, " say that in the month of March nearly eighty Bavarian deserters from the neighbour hood of Zeituni had come to that place, who had embraced the Mahammedauv religion, and carried on their trades there. It was said that their number was still greater, but several had gond to Thessalonica, where the European consuls, in order to put an end to the scandal, had taken measures to send them speedily away. This apostacy from christianity hid so incensed the Greek population, that affrays frequently took place be tween them." CHANCERY S UITORS.—On Saturday, in the Vice-Chancellor's Court, considerable interest was excited by the appearance in the' court of a remarkably fine family, consisting of eleven boys and girls, the oldest of whom did not appear more than eleien years of age. The object of their appearance was to petition the court in person, to be allowed to put in their answer, by their next of kin, to a bill filed against them in that court. The prayer of the petition, as a matter of course, was granted. ' Napoleon said one day, speaking of a man who all his life long was unlucky, " he fallen on his back, I verily believe he would have broken his nose."—French paper. TIMBER DuTiEs.—llls Majesty's ministers have declared that it is not their intention to interfere with the present Kale of timber duties this year. • Loss OF THE ELIZA.—The underwriters at Lloyd's, London, have sustained a very heavy loss by the wreck of the Eliza, on her homeward voyage from Canton to London, with a valuable cargo of teas. This vessel had been missing for some time, and the owners of the ship and cargo have, in the apprehension of a total loss, insured nearly to their full risk. On Friday policies were effected at sixty guineas per cent, The Eliza was lost on the Paracels, in the China seas, according to information re ceived in London On Satuiday. HIGH COURT OF JUST mt.% rty,GLascow.—On Monday week Elizabeth NV:Niel was tried and convicted of the crime of poi soning her husband by administering arsenic to him. .L'hes evidence adduced was chiefly of a circumstantial character,..but strikingly connected. Sentence of death was passed upon her, which. will be executed on the 3d August.—William Grindley. pleaded guilty of iii assault of •ft most Atrocious charm:ltalia.. three girls, the el lest of whom was only nine years of age. 'Ais was sentenced to fourteen years' transportation. EXECUTION s.T EDINBURGH.—James Bell was executed one Monday week, at Edinburgh, for the murder of Serjeant-Major Moorhead of the 6th Dragoon Guards, in which regiment Belt was a private soldier. fbe unfortunate culprit was very penitent. WEFT,EYAN CONFERiNCE.—The general sittings of the Wes leyan Methodist Conference will commence at Sheffield in the morning of Wednesday, the 20th instant. The Ile-v. 'Richard Reece is expected to be chosen president. The stationing, and other preliminary committees are already beginning to assemble. Hon mete MURDER NEAR Yonx.—Thomas Robinson, aged 27, the .arnekeeperto Paul B. Thompson , Esq., M.P. , of Esrick , was, on 'Thursday morning last, most inhumanly murdered. He resided at Kexby, six miles from York, and had been from nine o'clock on Wednesday night, till the following morning, at a neighbour's house, paving his addresses to a respectable voting female. He left there in good spirits, anal was never afterwards seen alive. Two gun-shots were heard soon after he left the house, and about twelve o'clock at noon. on Thursday, his lifeless body was found on Dunnington Common, about 300 yards from the house. His throat was dreadfully cut, and there was a bruise on the left arm. His gun was found in an adjoin ing field, and his hat, coat, and waistcoat in I hree other places. It is supposed that he had pursued some poachers, and thrown off his clothes, as was his habit; and there is every rtsason to believe that inure than one person has been concerned in the murder. The deceased was a powerful, determined man, and was greatly esteemed by his employer and al! his neighbours. An inquest was held on the body on Thursday, and adjourned to Friday. After the inquest was adjourued, at twelve o'clock on Thursday night, the witnesses were examined by Mr. Preston, privately, :and soon after a young man, a farmer in the neigh bourhood, named Morley, was apprehended, conveyed to York, and lodged in the House of Correction,--Leeds Intelligrecer. REPRESENTATION OF Or,Dil M.—A. rumour has prevailed during the week that Mr. Fielden, M.P. for Oldham, disheart ened by the loss of his political crutch, the late Mr. Cobbett, and chagrined at the failure of the " intine,nee" he exerted in favour of Cobbett the Second, is about to resign the representa tion of that immaculate borough. We fear the wig, of some honest elector has given birth to the thoug,ht, and that the days of emancipation are not yet come or coming. Mr. Jesse Ains worth, however, whose qualifications for the office it surpasses our feeble powers, and probably those of every other mortal cave himself, to discover, is a candi - late for the not yet vacant office, and boasts (or rather did boast well nigh a week since) that he has obtained the promise of 260 votes. Who shall doubt it ItiOldhain all things are possible, and it were very fitting that the mantle of Mr. John Belden should fall upon the shoulders of Mi. Jesse Ainsworth. But the fates, we bee , have in this case otheiwise decreed. Should Mr. Fielden happila beim:laced to resign, a second conservative vs - ill be brought riirssard and (Mr. Fitton willing !) will be returltrd.--.--Mamhe.o • 4 ) ' Ibmiram instan Opera in srh charac Wash, until he coed E 1 how F ist, )n cc testi tend Arc( of a emit of it then nu it, boa s .tturii] Yean To M r. t Aliss Tic' the B nour DAN irreg the fi nexif cf ii of D, the awat of th allot' prot( * lt • 'math „ yv 1161
