RE-OPENING OF MYRTLE-STREET CRApEL.--,The-ye opening 'ceremonial services of -this chapel were 'con cluded last night by a tea party held in the school-room under the chapel. Tke large !room capable - of seating upwards' of 800 persons was quickly filled, and the unoccupied class-rooms, which were placed at the disposal of the extra attendance, were found. barely sufficient for their accommodation. Notwithstanding the large num bers present, the proceedings were conducted with great order, and the tea passed off with the greatest quietness. After the tables had been cleared a hymn was sung, and the Rev. Mr. Greene offered up. prayer. The Rev. Hugh Stowell Brown then - addressed the meeting. He said he was very much pleased to see so many of the congregation around* him on this occasion. He then gave a sketch of the history of the scheme for enlarging their, place of worship. - He observed that that enlargement had been rendered' an absolute necessity, as the old chapel was 'found quite incapable of accommodating the rapidly increasing number of worshippers. -,After remarking that,_ as he was not a business man, and would therefore refrain from entering upon the minutiae of the improve-- - ments, the reverend gentleman resumed his seat amid great applause. Several gentlemen then addressed the meeting, and Mr. Robinson gave a lucid sketch of the -improvements, which appeared, to be highly satisfactory both ,to the congregation and minister. Collections were then made to defray the extra expenses incurred in the extensive improvements which have been made, after which the meeting broke up. BANKRUPTCY COURT.—In, re William Hyde : This bankrupt, a ship and insurance broker in Liverpool, came up on his adjourned last . examination, yester day, before Mr. Commissioner Perry, supported by Mr. Evans.

The water commissioners' party, including of course all the members of the council, - with their ladies, in -addition. to the ladies and._ gentlemen, who will be-specially invited, numbering in all 250, or a little beyond: it, will set out from Glasgow at seven a.m. by special: train' for .Balloch, at the foot of Loch Lomond.

NEW BOUNDARY •DIFFICULTY. i.ENING POSITION OF AFFAIRS AT SAN JUAN. NEW Irons, Sept, 22, Evening. By an arrival at New Orleans yesterday we have re ceived San Francisco dates to the sth instant, and later intelligence from the island of San Juan The number of American troops on the island had been increasd to five hundred. Earthworks had been thrown up by the Americans, and their cannons com manded Victoria harbour. General Harney had de clared that he would call for volunteers if attacked. The British admiral on the station had refused to obey the orders of Governor Douglass—to bring on a collision, and he had also refused to bring his fleet to - the island, saying that he intended to await orders from the home. Government. The relations between the American and British officers continued very friendly. The reported massacre of troops in Oregon, by the Indians, is discredited. ry In an article on.the San J Herald of the oth ult. says Lan disputo, the New York "The. sending of General Scott to Puget Sound, while it indicates a disposition on the part of our government to pursue a moderate and prudent course in the difficulty that has risen between the gallant Harney and the hot headed Douglass, should not be taken as an evidence of a' - wish to compromise the present dispute with Great Britian. , " Since the return of Lord Palmerston to power the policy that he initiated in ordering the British cruisers to stop our ships in American waters, and at our very gates, has been again adopted. Secret negotiations is Central America—in direct opposition to both the letter and the spirit of the. Clayton•Bulwer folly—and cunning coanivings in Costa Mica, clearly indicate the spirit that animates the present British Cabinet in American questions. Every, sentiment of national honour, every impulse of national feeling, tell us that we must meet this policy in a like spirit. Compromise will not save us from dishonour, nor will palliation engender a spirit of justice on the part of the hereditary haters of American-progress and inflaenee. This is the position that the Palmerstonian theory has always held towards us." The circumstances of the present time are propitious to' us in a. conflict, if it must come ; and when it does come, that conflict must never cease till the last British ler is driven from the American continent, either South of us. Canada is already tired of From. Labrador to the lakes, and from he far ocean, it aspires to a complete re- North or British rul' moval of the political barriers that now intercept the currents of its trade and intercourse with us and its own industrial development. Many thousands of its citizens long for a politieal union with us, and to become a part of our great system of self-governed States ; others seek for an independent organisation, with unrestricted inter change, while few indeed cling withany sort of ardour to the present hybrid union with England. In Jamaica the selfish policy of imperial rule has produced results far more disastrous than in Canada. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, Sept. 22, Evening. Our Cotton market is quite dull and inactive, the sales for the last three days having been only about 1,200 bales. Quotations show no material change. Flour is buoyant, and prices have gone up 16 cents per barrel. Wheat and Corn, also, have an upward tendency; and the latter has advanced 1 to 2 cents per bushel. In the, Provision trade no change of moment has occurred, and prices are steadily maintained. On the Stock Exclaange a generally firm tone prevails. NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 21, Evening. The sales of Cotton to-day amounted to 5,500 bales, without any change in the quotations. There is nothing new in regard to crop accounts. ♦ LITERATURE. STATIS'TICS OF, AND OBSERVATIONS tPON; THE MINES OF CORNWAID,"by Thomas Spargo. London. These statistics and observations are from one who, through long experience as a practical miner, and an intimate personal' acquaintance with the mines of corn wall and Devon, has afforded inforniation so accurate :as to the position and prOspects of the various mines in those counties, that his publicatioii 'is one of great practical value. The author - has prepared a new physical, geological, and parish map of Cornwall, which, m addition to the information contained in; the ordinary map, lays down the positionand boundary lines of upwards of seven hundred mines, with the lodes, cross-courses, and elvan-courses traversing each,—shewing the whole geological formation of the county, the produce of the various mining districts, and other particulars necessary to guide and direct in the selection of shares in legitimate mining undertakings. In these publications Mr. Spargo evinces such an amount of practical knowledge of his subject as cannot but constitute him an important adviser in mining enterprise: THE BniTisn POSTAL GrtIDE..

EXTRAORDINARY AND USEFUL INVENTION.—There is nothing that housewives complain of with -greater truthfulness than the breaking of some favourite piece of glass, valuable chimy or earthenware. In hundreds of cases such things cannot be matched, and of course cannot be mended.

Sta,—lt will no doubt appear in the papers that a Church Rate has been lost at St. Helms by a majority of 105, after a three days' ion. Such is the fact : but it is a fact which, when explained, need not discourage those who are engaged in defending the Church against the attacks of her enemies. The polling for the flrst two days went on but slowly. Thu supporters of the Rate, toe confident of an easy victory, re served their strength for the third day's poll. The consequence was, that although they headed the poll by a majority of 18 at the adjournment of the poll at 1 o'clock, t 1 ' osession of the pollinl opponents ma- -grolutd at 2 o'clock, by sending up a large number of disqualified persons whose claims:had to be investigated—the time for polling be came practically shOrtened--by placing themselves in post .. lid In some cases by using force to preventtheir vo —by these means an apparent majority was obtabed against the Rate. It - should be further explained that the majority of 105 was - assisted by the manager of a plate-glass company re-* cording 86 votes as:its representative. Against these votes there would have been recorded about the same number repre senting another plate-glass company, had not the clerk of the company been forcibly prevented from recording. the company's votes. Tins the majority would have been reduced to about 20. But not only so ; there were about 150 voters on the Church side (as I have been credibly informed) ready to record their votes, but shut out by the well-concerted but not very Thus, the issue of the creditable plans of their oppo:ents, if fair play had prevailed, would have presented a large majority in favour of the Rate Thus stands the matter for the present. The maintainers of the poor man's rights have no reason to be discouraged by what has taken place at St. Helens. Let them organise well, act systematically, vote promptly, and make such arrange ments, in populous parishe4 especially, as will secure to every ratepayer the opportunity of voting, and this they cam do by multiplying the voting-places : and, by God's bless ,g, they will net only hold their ground, but stimulate others to exer tion and success.---I am, sir, your obedient_servant, EDWARD CARR, LL.D., Chairman of the Vestr Oct: I, 1859, THE EARL OF DERBY V. ASSASSINATION. TO THE EDITOR or THE NORTHERN. DAILY TIMES, Sts,—l have before me the Lancashire Free' Press and the Lirerp 00l Chronicle of this day. The former denounces the Earl of Derby for the course he has thought proper to pursue with such of his tenants on the Doon estate as are pre,umed to be accessories after the fact, to the murder of his late bailiff ; but I have looked in vain through its colunins (though it is an exclusively Irish and Catholic ,pak)er) for the information I' find Under the head of "Ireland" in the latter. The informa tion I' refer to affords to my mind satisfactory• evidence that the Earl of Derby has at last hit on the right course to pursue, in dealing with the' Ribbon conspirators. It is briefly as follows : 1. Two brothers, named O'Brien, have been arrested and committed is gaol, charged with the murder of Mr. Crowe, on Lord Derby's property at Doon, in July last. 2. The Doon police have arrested James Kennedy, charged with being one of the murderers of Edward Murphy, in June last. 3. A man, named Gehan, has been arrested, as the leader of a gang of Ribbonmen who waylaid and beat severely some of the witnesses who gain evidence respecting the assassination of Jessop, some . months ago. His hay. bourer (a snug farmer) is also in custody 4. Front private information, two brothers, tamed Ryan, have been captured, charged with the murder of the steward of H. W. Bradshaw, Esq., J.P., at Ratlicannon. 5. A man, named Stafford, has been arrested, supposed to be the murderer of Mr. Ely, in Nov., 185.8. Sevea supposed murderers arrested ,in one week, and no fresh murder recorded! This is completely reversiag the old order of thingsand may be called the legitimate fruits of Lord Derby's manifesto. But how is it that, with the exception of the cases Nos. 2 and 5, (the least noteworthy,) the new Irish , paper is silent on these striking facts?—Fours truly, A DERDYITE. October 1, 1859. P.S.—I see it is particularly resented that Lord Derby has not made an exception in favour of the priest. I think most Englishmen will agree with me in the opinion that; had he done so, he only have scotched the snake—now he may perchance kill it, as far as Doon is concerned. The Freeman's Journal ought to know that it is an opinion all but universal in England, that the priest's are at the bottom of the Ribbon conspiracy. THEATRICAL LICENSE - FOR NIGHTINGALE MUSIC SALOON TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES Dein Sia,—lriu will confer a favour by inserting in your valuable journal .the foll Owing. Having read your report of my application for a Theatrical License, I feel persuaded that, with. your usual liberality, you will permit me to correct one or two errors which are calculated to injure me, although I believe the same to be unintentional on your part. In your report, Mr. S. Helene asserted that the widthof my music-hall was 41 feet and the length 4(3 feet. But having measured it in the presence of three highly respectable persons this morn ing, I find the width insid& to be 46 feet, and the entire length from back of stage to end of hall 51 feet, and the entrance doorway exactly 5 feet 10 inches. And with reference to the lighting of the place (which Mr. Mame called a dungeon), I beg to say there are 94 burners, all of which are lighted at night. The dressing-rooms, I admit, are in an unfinished state, owing to alterations to be made for theatrical representations. And if Mr. Holme will kindly favour me with another visit in about ten days, he will find that objection removed, also it new door- Fay, and the place re-seated, and the second doorway capable of the exit of six persons-at one time., .Mr. Editor, it has always been my study to improve the plahe.and add to the comfort of my patrons: I have not Inor will I) spare any expense for their amusement, nor shall I relax in my eadea ,vours to procure a license„; and possessing a .eharacter unde niable, I trust my friends will rally round my standard, and by a continuance of their support, thus express their sympathy for the Irish.
