SlR,—Can you be good enough to inform your readers what the Mayor of Wigan was doing here this week ? Is it to find out who has " plenty- of money" to spend at the next election ? Is it possible that a certrin personage holding a high office in this town is to be brought forward on the radical interest merely on the above qualification? "Yours. &c.. H. F. THE TORY PRESS, WITH ALL THE NAMES OF ITS WRITERS. (From the Argus) • Mr. O'Connell declares that he is anxious to have all the names of the principal writers for the Tory•press. As we are desirous of obliging this gentleman, and as we know that our contemporaries care eslittle about the death's head and cross bones as we do, we shall gratify him in this particular. I. The London daily morning papers of the Tory party are the Times, the Herald, and the Post. 1. The Herald is conducted by Mr. White, the clever author of the " Mornings in Bow-street ;" assisted by Mr. John Bell, formerly of the True Sun, Mr. M. •Honan, as foreign correspondent, an author of. some agreeable works .upon Spain ; and the celebrated barrister, Mr. John Sydney Taylor, whose essays in the cause of humanity do him the highest hon Our. The theatricaldepartmentis ably conducted by a countryman of Mr. O'Connell, named O'Dwyer. 2. The Post is the property of the Byrne family—the son of the celebrated Rosa Matilda being-its chiefproprietor. It is edited by Mr. Thomas Bittleston, and Mr. Michele, the representative of a noble Italian family. The. foreign cor respondence is managed by Mr. Gruneison, who, our readers wilLrecolleet, was within a few hours of being shot in com pany with Captain Henningsen, by the ferocious Christinos in Spain. Mr. W. Johnson, for many years the able editor of the Aibi97l, contributes to its table-talk and general litera ture, aided by Mr. Frederick William Nayler Bayley, author of "Five Years in the West Indies," and other works. Its miscellaneous assistants are Lcird Ellenborougli, writing under the name of Zeta, and Mr: Fitzgerald, formerly sccre tart' of the Charles-street Club,.who fa: ishes some gracefdl poetic trifles, in which his friend Mr. -Praed, alas! now no More, , risNl formerly to..jpin hire. . • The Tirhes his been for many years conducted by Mr. ••Thoitias.parokieS,'late•or Canibridge, It is, in .a-- great Inca eip ' §lire;'Ltlie""dpeff" itif.: . l\4l.

Nothing but modesty restrains us from doing ourselves the justice of stating that the ARGUS is, as it deserves to be from its multiplied merits, decidedly the first among them.

As for our contributors, why it is not fair to expect - that we should print their names. We leave that to others. The list would exhaust half the peerage, and com prehend all the literary men of the slightest name now flou rishing their penS on the tory side of the question.

("Prorii the Chester Courant.) ••• • It is with feelings of the deepest 'regret, we announce the demise of Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, Baronet, Lord Lieu tenant and Custos Rotolorum of the counties of Denbigh and Merioneth, and Representative in Parliament of the former county. This melancholy event, which has deprived Cambria of one of her noblest sons, and society of one of its most valuable members, took place at Wynnstav, between two and three o'clock on rheMorning of Sunday last. The Hon. Baronet had, on the previous day, been in the enjoyment of his usual good state of health, and, apparently - recovered from the effects of hi.s late indisposition. The late lamented Baronet. was in the 68th year of his age having bee n b orn pii..the 26th of October, 1772 - . In 1817; be married Lady Harriet ' eldest' daughter of the late Earl of Powis, who died in Iris lifetime, and by whom he had two sons and one daughter. Sir Watkin is succeeded.in his title and estates, - -by his eldest son, 'now Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, .Baronet, .a cornet in the:first regiment of-lifeguards. The present Baronet,- who is a minor, will attain his majority in May, 1841. It is needless for us, in a district where the many excellent qualities of tlpi late Baronet were so well known and appre ciated,- to ,v - prek:bow deeply his death will he felt, not only in the chimestic circle a his relatives and - frietids, but through out the whole - Principality of Wales, of which he was With so much justice considered at once both the pride and the. orna ment. He was alike distinguished in bountiful charity to the poor; •and in princely munificence and hospitality to • his" equals. lii§..tniable qualities conciliated in a.retharkable degree •the esteemof 'those with whom he associated, and the respect of. all. To his tenantry he was no ;less a frieud'than an encou raging and considerate landlord. - was, indeed, one of.the few surviving examples of the true gentlemen of the olden. time. To the lovers of constitutional liberty and unflinching loyalty his - death, will be a cause of deCP regret ; for Cambria never possessed - a man more ardently .attached to the hal-, lowed institutions of his country than _Sir Watkin Wynn. •- • _ _ . (From the Salopian Journal.) Died,:,at his seat, Wvnnstay, on Sunday morning last, at four orelock, Sir Watkin 'Wynn, Baronet, in the 68th year of his age. By the demise of this truly excellent. • man, a Void has occurred in society which time itself can scarcely replace. Whether we consider the lamented Baronet in his position as a public man, or as a pattern of.all that can adorn the character of an English country gentleman,— whether we are to recall him to our recollection as the friend, the 'neighbour, or the chriitian, we can only say that he has closed his earthly career in the constant and practical dis charge of every duty—a bright example to all who, like him, were placed by Providence in a situation as responsible as it was distinguished. True to the sacred dictates of friendship, upright in every transaction of life, devoted in the lour of difficulty and dan ger.to the service of his country, ever loyal to his sovereign, yet 'the true friend and unflinching champion of the Consti tutional rights and privileges of the people, the liberal pro moter of all that could tend to the benefit of his native and loved principality,. beloVed by his equals, respected by all, mourned by. the poor, he is gone to receive his reward. - May . his bright example live in the recollection of those placed,•like him, in stations of rank, influence, and respOnsi bility ! May their retrospect be as free from reproach, their closing hour as peaceful and serene! , By the demise of Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, a vacancy has occurred in the representation of the County of Denbigh; and the Lord Lieutenantcy of the Counties of Denbigh and Merioneth, with the Stewardship of the Manors of Bromfield and Yale, fall to the disposal of Government. - The following letter is from one of the faithful and attached of the late worthy baronet's extensive establishment : " TO THE EDITOR OF THE SALOPIAN JOURNAL, " Sir,—l have the painful and melancholy task to announce to you that it hath pleased Almighty God suddenly to de prive us of our beloved and much-lamented master, Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, Bart. Sir Watkin, the good, hath breathed his last. Welshmen, mourn, for your chieftain is no more! " The morning of the sth of January closed the mortal ca reer of this great and good gentleman, in the 68th year of. his age. • In him the widow hath lost a husband, the orphan' a father, and hundreds the kindest and best of masters. Let every eye be .dirn with the tears of grateful and'atfectionate sorrow.

The brig, Ceres, Randels, of London, from Ramonski, River St: Lawrence, 'on het' homeward voyage, was totally lost on the 13th of September, whilst lying to in'a heavy gale of *hid, on Bird. Island. This island is a perpendicular rock the height of 'any royalmast-head, and' covered with Millions of fowls, called gannets, as large as any of our English geese. Ten minutes after the vessel struck she filled and broke up, and the master mate, and ten seamen perished. The car penter, James Irving, of the Orkneys, and George Wood, seaman, of London,' saved themselves by gaining the rook from the forema§t. When they had gained the summit of this rock, a scene was presented which filled them with fear. and astonishment, of being devoured by the millions 'of large birds which inhabited it.' Quaritities 'of heads, bones 'and' parts of fish in a state of putrefactiOn, with thousatithrofeggir and millions of young fowls in theitriestS;' were foinith' ,, The. eggs were their first attempt, in 'ordOr _to' 'satisfy the cravings.:l of nature, but they co :id not find one to feed unon; - as•they were all rotten ; and the young fowls wen:: their only resort. In this situation- the two unfortunate n-en remained for nearly; three days, when a schooner came so 'near that they could - , observe the men b'd 'thck ;as soon they sow licr, the car- • penter pulled off his shirt and' hoisted it'as a ggtiAl; 1 - 11111(); , ' notice was taken of it: AftdiWards two brigs. paSsba but, neither of them appeared to - see their signal of distrO , '• On the third day the brig Dykes, Sharp, of Maeyport,,out ward,bonykd for QuebsO. appeared: The eaptainthonicht saw sorinthir* otitha r(Tek; . tii . al shiel ever hear . of any 14e a'glaas att&dia*l.l tine*, saw a.siinal, which' he'tiaide' out -Whe, a 'blue shirt and two men moving' to and fro. He imitiediately lowered' • his steering.sad, stood towards the and caineas - near as he could with safety,.and then manned his boat. As scion as the two Unfortunate - men got on board they returned thanks to Captain Sharp, as their deliverer. At this time Captain Shiup had onboard six men belonging to the Onon. da o, which had been abandoned a few days previous. About three years ag6 Captain. Sharp took from the Rexford thirty five men, which vessel had been run foul of at sea. From a letter which appeared in the Quebec Gazette .of Nov' 2, it seems that public attention had been called for the purpose of raising a subscription in order to present Captain Sharp with a gold medal for his exertions in the cause of humanity. IMMIGRATION OF THE NEGRO RACE INTO THE BRITISH WEST INDIES. • (From the Colonial Gazette.) The negro race is one the whose immigration to the West Indies would be most advantageous both to the pre sent inhabitants and the new comers. That, is already the predominant race, and is the only one, except Europeans (whose immigration as labourers is out of the question), that would be received on a footing of brotherhood by the staple population. That, too, is th only race to which the 'climate of tho West Indiesis known to be entirely congenial. It is also of essential importance, with a view to serving the African negro, that 'his race should be preferred to all others. _ _ _ In this, as in every case where the aim is to increase the population of a colony by means of immigration, the first step would be to render the colony as attractive as possible to the class of immigrants. In order to attract any great num ber of the negro race to the West Indies, it is absolutely ne cessary that the principles of emancipation should be followed out to the end—that that race should there be placed on a footing of perfect social and political equality with the whites. If any white object to this, we should say that this foolish pride deserves the beggary which the triumph of his objection • would entail on his class. For while the utter.ruin of the : planters must occur without a great increase of labouring hands, it is equally sure that no ineasure.of negro immigra, tion will be adopted by parliament that does not repudiate all distinctions of colour.. Nor if adopted by parliainent would any measure of the kind prove sufficient for its:purpose, un-. less it made the British colonies a land of refuge ; ..a happy home for the persecuted negro of- the western world. This we address to such planters as forget that emancipation lkas taken place: To those whose object.it is to give the negro race, for once in the world, a fair chance of rising from their universal degradation, we need scarcely say that it is a sine qua non of success to banish every diStinction of colour. Supposing the British West Indies to stand out frOm . the rest of America by the repudiation of every distinction of co lour, there would be sources in plenty from WliiCh to draw immigrants of the negro race. The governifient of Trinidad has settled this point as respects the free-coloured people of the United States. Its mission to the States for the purpose, of setting on foot a system of negro immigration to that colony, has been completely successful. Equal rights under a sympathising governinent was the attraction which it held out to these unhappy people. After much'. communication with the free negroes of the United States, the government of Trinidad is satisfied of their disposition.. to. settle in the British West Indies, provided .they-be therelsecured against falling into the same political and social . degradation from which they now wished to escape. But - where .in.that part of the world is that race admitted to areal eqUality with the whites ? Wherever that race exists in Africa; they would be well disposed . to emigrate to a eounti'y of suitable climate, which offered the attraction of good wag:..-; and equal rights. From 50 points- between Rio . .de Janeiro and Boston, they would flock to, the British colonies,' if invited by :the call of justice to the negro. In all probability, however, the increase of population' in our colonists would still be inadequate to the demand for labour: The more intelligent of the emigrants from vari ous parts of America would soon • lay :by a' capital, and would themselves require labouring hands, Li . order to supply the utmost possible. 'demandf4r lab Our, recourse must be had to the fatherland of the race... The abject here would be to -substitute,for.. ..the exportation of slaves a system of free emigration. This is. the suggestion of Sir Edward Cust. It may startle the friends of the negro, but should engage their most 'serious ,attention. What is the objection to the emigration of labourers from Africa to the West Indies, any more than from Kent to Australia ? The sole objection is, that AfriCari emigration • might become the disguise of a slaVe trade. That might happen without fitting precautions ; but the objection ceases supposingohe pre cautions to be sufficient. One precaittion would suffice: a law should preclude individuals from speculating in the con• duct of emigration froth Africa, .to , the WeSt . Indies ; the whole process from . beginning- to end=from the first invi tation to emigrate down to the emigrant's comfortable-settle ment in the colony—should be confided to a special and re sponsible . public authority. The same law • might provide - specific securities for the negro's free consent.tobis removal,. for just such care 'of him during the passage as is bestowed on British emigrants . who proceed to Australidimder the: superintendence of a government commission, and .for i'Su arp Free support in the colony u n til engaged as a labourer for hire. It Were Well if th e l aw f urt h er ent i t l e d the immigrant negrO to )ilbe 'passage hack ver to Africa. and-Th These t o w b o t obtain, upon demand,i pro visions, supposing the cost of their execution to be thrown on the lando , vnersof , • . the West 'lndies would prevent the labour markeApf the icolouies from 'being o vers tock e d, e ith er thrukga tte`sign.'er .uel;ligertee,:and yet.

An essential condition of the success of . the plan—the economical, like the social attractiveness of'.the colonies—would thus be continually maintained,. Nothing more would be requisite to produce, ere long, an amount of free. emigration from Africa sufficient the African slave trade.- to destroy the very root of C.A4C,Par. 3II M We are authorised to say that there is not the slightest foundation for the- statements which have appeared in the French papers, that Lord Ponsonby is about to be recalled from his post as ambassador at Constatiti`opl e.

Those of our readers who are fond of a graphic sketch will not have failed to amuse themselves with that very pleasant and *gent letter touching the O'Connell meetings in Dub lin, :Ilia was published in The Times of yesterday, under the signature of our correspondent '6 B." A Dublin Con servative has opportunities, such as the.Englieli in, general cannot possess, ofieeeine the way in which the-wires- of. the puppet-box are worked from beneath by the big showman, who, after acting. both Puneh.and Devil, goes,round .with his hat to Coiled the halfpence. When " B." pulls up the;cur tain, and the showman's tricks are exposed, the excrtement ceases, the crowd: -begin,. tee:be. ashamed -of :themselves for gaping,. every - poor fellow . buttons . up his, breeches .pesket (WhOSe pd'eket ixineilffiCiently . geod repair- toebe e garmslied With a hutOn,) and theitinerant's.antie,ipated halfpence, in stead of swelling his pernicious ,means, are ; re sued ,for r t s iess fitter. arid more natural uses of the, sickly wife and the starving children. This is a disappointment which the balked and fe 7 rocious expectant can neither brook nor forget; and his rage . So far outruns - his cunning, that he commits the absurdity of telling all the world how sore he is. _, . The getting up of one of the O'Connell meetings in Ire: land is managed on the principle on which the city sharpers launch a-joint-stock company. The first point is to present a good decoy. A man of some rank, for • instance .a Lord, or; if that cannot be had, an Hon. Mister, is the best article to put _feirwarde. - but these are now become-veryscarce and difficult to -be prOcured. - Sudh persons 'h•ave , usually: some reputation to lose, and they do not like to sell it for quite so low a ,price as a " tremendous cheer."` 'The next. best thing appears: to - be a barrister, or, as the Irish callhirus a eoun sellors-and- as the whole patronage of- the law is pretty well .understohdto he at the Agitator's disposal, it is not to be - wondered at that now and then an - ambitious • young! man should allow himself to be tempted into a tool and .flattered into a dupe. - Who can tell what honours, what emoluments, inay await the professional progress -of an orator who.sig alizei himself in. the Corn Exchange or the Adelphi Theatre? He may be a Solicitor General, an Attorney-General, a Judge. a Master of the Rolls, or, if it suit him to leave the Four Courts .for -the mom-dazzling attractions of. Downing street and Whitehall,. he ,may become a Lord of the Trea sury, a Secretary of the Admiralty—nay, let him he but vio lent enough in Popery, and wholly guiltless of all acquaint ance with business, and he may come to be Vice-President of - the Board of Trade, and sit among, the Privy Councillors. • Yet even these allurements, .potent asthey are, .will., not, always secure a prOduceahle person to undergo the dishonour of. being .puppeted, patted, and patronised by such a master as the Dublin demagogue. There is thew no resource but a ' -stranger.. Our correspondent gives an instructive and di verting example of the way in which a stranger is - got up arid; dressed for the day in the sort of importance necessary Ink imposing upon an ignorant auditory.. It is the instanee, of a - - commercial traveller from a Manchester house, whom Our communicant, not recollecting •the good, ies.o's real name, 'cull's John Gilpin. John, being desirous to see the.lions Of Dublin, and particularly e that very loud --roaring and end s neatly Wild animal the live O'Connell, repaired to the Corn- Exchange to witness his antics. • O'Connell, who was driven to - his last straits for a chairman, happened in his extremity to hear of this Manchester runner,;. and John, who as a stranger was accommodated . with a station near the head of the room, had net been five minutes in his place, when, to his unspeakable surprise and horror, he heard the demagogue announce his name, with a motion " that the said John Gil pin, Esquire, should take the chair." " Poor Gilpin pressed 'forward to O'Connell, and assured him that he was no esquire, but a mere monthly runner for his masters, and that he never was in-a chair in all his life, and never intermeddled with politics, of which he knew nothing, and implored to be excused the high honour of which he was so utterly unwor thy. O'Connell replies at once, 'Go into that chair, my friend, and all Ireland shall deal with your employers.' The runner understood this businesslike hint at, once, and got into the chair, All this passed sub silentio in the upper con -clave, and of which the greasy mob were utterly unconscious; and then comes tbrth-O'Connell—' Gentlemen, I have mov ed a stranger into the chair, and with Irish hearts you will will give him an hospitable welcome. (Cheers,) Did I say astranger ? - I was wrong. The name of Gilpin is known by every man who hears me. "(An awful silence.) Is there one man in this powerful assemblage of Irish genius, intellect, and talent, . who can be so beastly ignorant as not to know that the name of Gilpin, in .the north of England, was the foremost in the cause of Irish emancipation? (Cheers.) Do you. now' 'know my • long-esteemed and valued friend ? (Cheers., and cries of 'We do, we do.') And yet I had great difficulty in prevailing .upon this modest. English merchant to take the chair. (Cheers.) But-could Ido less, when lie came oveteas the head of. the .greatest mercantile establish ment in England, to be present at this meeting, and, as he. himself so happily said; to see and hear what we were doing, knowing well:that there can, be no safety in England unless justicObe fititdone to Ireland ?' (Tremendous cheers.)" Poi a piece Of genuine " blarney," this effusion is not to be exceeded ,'' Our correspondent, taking a =meat random, has been rather lucky in hitting upon• that of John Gilpin ; for it is clear that-the worthy traveller, like his prototype, Was made to go a good deal '• further than he intended." Such frauds as this provoke only alaugh ; but others, from the same crucible, are too flagrant to he ludicrous. The last new imposture is an address to her Majesty, to be signed by, the inhabitants of all the parishes in all the counties of "the first flower. cu the earth, and.first gem of the .sea," and to be presented-to the:Qs-teen in person, by the.member for all•lre land in petson. , We shall see in what way the whig ministers of the crow.nioszilleeAvise her,Majesty to receive and answer' this insolentiromputtions „It insults the.

THE CHARTISTS - AND' THE ANTI-CORN-LAW AGITATORS, • (From the Standard.)' The anti-corn-law whig-radicals have been again shame- fully defeated by the chartists. The scene of this, their 'more recent dischmfiture and disgrace, is Sheffield, where, on Thursday, 'Mr.—(appropriation) Vi r ard—Mr. Parker and some others tried tt.get up a meeting in aid of the anti corn law swindle.: The - chartists beat them out of the Circus, their first lace of assembling, and then relentlessly pursued them to a Place :called Paradise-square, where the whig-radi cats sought a 'refuge, and there' beat them soundly again. The beating was all, however, merely figurative; and very Peaceable; for though there were hints Of a horsepond, and one 'or two blows struck towards the close of the proceed the general conduet of the chartists Was orderly; and Mr. Ward and Mr." Parker were permitted to slink away in • safety. The Morning Chronicle observes that it is " sorry to say that the proceedings at the anti-corn-law meeting at Sheffield by no means correspond with the' inference which it drew from the statements in the address from the working people of that town." It is natural enough that the Morning Chro nicle should be disappointed . The whigs have held the po pulace "by the ears long enough to expect a perpetuity of influence. Their influence is, however at an end, and now they must learn to follow those whOrn they lately drove, or they will be left in solitude. We are not without a hope that the whigs are making the discovery, and that the country may be permitted to rest •from agitation. Exhibitions like that of Sheffield demonstrate nothing -at present but the weakness of the whig-radicals.; if persevered in, they will expose the folly and malignity ofthe 'party. Let them not for a moment flatter themselves with the notion; that by incurring the hostility of the chartists, they in the least recommend themselVes to the favourable opinion of the friends of order. No ; every man of common sense sees that their arguments' are the arguments of chartism, and that the inflamed temper which they seek to kindle, is to the full as dangerous and malevolent as-any disposition by which the chartists have been animated. The difference between the anti-corn-law agitators and the-chaelist agitators is this : the first to seek a disaffection, by which, either masked as " moral -force" or nakedly- displayed in rebellion, their own, particular class will be gainers at the expense of all other classes, while the chartists entertain insane projects by which they hope to realise benefits to all classes. The designs of both are equally dangerous, but by no means equally base and criminal r they differ as far as mean villany differs from - generous folly. The whit-radicals, moreover, have pictured to them in little, by their late defeats, what would be the consequence of their success should they suc deed to their utmost wishes. The chartists are already too strong' for ,them.- . -Well, suppose the corn-laws repealed, 'what would they have to offer in opposition to the principle of chartist demands ? Every principle upon which they claim the repeal of the corn-laws is a chartist principle. The anti-corn-law men would limit the application of such principles to matters in which they' are to be gainers ; the chartists would 'apply them universally. . Well, as we have said, suppose the anti-corn-law men to have suc ceeded, with. what face could they resist the- further application of their own principles; or how could they dare to denounce the violent agitation by which them selves are now labouring to win success for these principles ? As far as the restraints of honour and conscience go, we are aware' they would have no difficulty in hunting, even to the gallows, the followers in their own track ; but much as they may despise the restraints of honour and conscience, the Whig-radicals could not dare to insult a stronger party than their own ; and 'raving carried their, repeal of the corn-laws, •they must consent to assist in the use of the same means in carrying the Charter—the moral necessity is complete. However, there is a hope that the lesson received in Sheffield may warn them that in calling anti-corn-law meetings, they are reallysummoning chartist musters. CURIOUS AND IMPORTANT INVENTION.—Mr. James Sutcliffe; of Limerick, Superintendent 'of the Dock Works, Under Sir Thonitis Dean and Co., has recently and taken out a patent for a pump, whiCh • bids . fair to ..,)• - i•c,ede every thing of the kind that has gone befott it: its-pririCi ple is' infallible, and infinitely supedoi - foi. all Practical . pnr poses.. It has already received the palm from a Multitude Tof the greatest scientific men of the present age, who have ex amined its structure. Its peculiarities are so strikingly di versified as to command strict attention. In its almost total. relief from friction, a continuous stream, and having no valves, can never be rendered useless by being choked, so common with every other one before ; the' vacuum is moven by an elipsis revolving in a calendar, and will discharge any thing that can pass up the pipe. It is made entirely of iron, so is almost everlasting. It will treble the quantum of the common pump by the same power, and if applied to' an en gine, will work wonders.

SIXTH DAY—MONDAY. ' THE DEFENCE. At the sitting .of the comt,, , thip ;Awning, Sir Frederick Pollock wasto — adclress the Suri . fo!• the dgenceof the pri- soner ; and in the course of sl;eech which lasted five hours and a half,..pointed:out a 'mini:cr., of trifling inconsistencies which appeared in,the.evidence for : the tiroseention, and sug gested that the Ohjed i otthe piisOncr, - and of the parties who assembled under his , cornmand, on the 3d of November, was not to, overturn . t4 go,yernincAit 4 or work any change in the institutions pftlie.'eountryibfit merely to resene the prison ers who .had been apprehimded during the night, and confined in the Westgate . lpn, ,argued that the mob, as appeared frorn the evidence of Sir Theins Philips, and from other eir enmst*nres, did not see thermilitary'when they fired into the room where the mayor and one of the,soldiers were wounded; l and that, as soon as they beeame aware of the presence of a military force, they gave way immediately: In concluding his, Speech;, the learned gentleman said :—" Taking, then, Mr. Prost'S conduct, his .dharacter, and his demeanour on that day, his . proMpt' surrender when accused of the part he had taken in the transactions, the issue of which he had, witnessed but did not expect, I see nothing which can war rant the imputation of the treason with which he is charged, and still less of that strong,., clear, and convincing evidence which my friend admits must be produced to workout the proof of it. Gentlemen, under these circumstances, I again say that I know. 'no public measure that would tend so much to the honour of the country, to the peace of the community, and . more to the quieting of that. alarm which these. lamentable . transactions have created, than a verdict of " not guilty" from you, if it can be pronounced by you with truth. There is here no question of safety—there is no question whether you can with safety pronounce. that verdict. The single question is, can you pronounce it With truth ; and •if you can, you will provide the largest measure of safety to the country that can be be stowed upon it. If you can pronounce it with truth—if you - can assure her majesty's subjects in all parts of the empire that the thousands and thousands who assembled on that lamentable occasion did not meditate rebellion—that their object was to enforce certain claims on behalf of a suffering brother chaitist•Hthat accidentally. prisoners were made upon the spot, where only they'had the means of. demonstrating their strength, and'that in attempting to rescue them; when blood was shed in resisting this rescue; they fled in dismay from the field which they had never intended to enter. Several witnesses were then called on behalf of the prisoner, who swore that. when the chartists entered the town, on the morning of. the 4th November, thev.said they were going to fi rescue the prikonerS Conned at the Westgate Inn'; and three of the witnesses swore that; on going up to the dqor of the inn, the chartists demanded that . the prisoners should be given up, and that the, firing began in consequence of, an at tempt made by one 'of the constables to seize a pike in the bands of one of the mob. Of these transactions, however,. • the witnesses gave very . contradietory . acconnts. Other evi dence. was called to proye..that there is no mail coach passing • through Newport, the. Stoppage of which could 'have conveyed intelligence to Birmingham and the north; of the rising which had taken . place ; and that the•factmust have been perfectly well known to:'Mr..Frost. . . The court rose at six o'clock. It' was understood that, after the examination of one or two Witnesses, on Tuesday, Mr. Kelly would sum up the case for the prisoner. TUESDAY. The report 'of the pr;;;(liiTgS in this case on Tuesday occupies nearly nine closely-printed whin - ins of the Times. Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK having, in his address on Mon day, stated that the prisoner had made provision for the payment of a bill which fell due on the day succeeding that of the attack, witnesses were. called in proof of this assertion. William Morgan, a book-keeper, of the firm of .Parsons and Hurles, stated that they had dealings with Mr. Frost for many years. They supplied him with goods. Prior to November last, there might have been a running account of about £2OO. When their travellers went round, they gene rally valued upon the customers, who accepted the bills, which were remitted to their employers. He knew of a bill of £57. It came to them between the Ist and 12th of August last. It would have been due on the 4th of November. The bill was dated the Ist of August, 1839, drawn by Rees Woods, (who is one of the travellers for. , tht house in ques tion,) upon John Frost, Newport, and accepted by him, payable at the West of England Bank, Bristol. That bill was duly paid at maturity ; they received billS of that kind from Mr. Frost about four times a-year. The preceding one to this would therefore have been due about August last. In cross-examination, the Solicitor-General asked if the witness did not know that Frost's business was principally conducted by' his family. The witness could not tell, he had never seen Frost. After a few other witnesses had been ealled, rrom whom but little that was material to the defence was elicited. Lord George Somerset was called and examined. The evidence 'of his lordship . was to the effect that in the spring of 1831, he was a candidate for the'borough of Newport, and his brother, the Duke of'Beanfort, was afterwards a candidate. During some electioneering-tumults, on two occasions, when he and his brother were in danger of being assaulted by the mob, Mr. Frost used his utmost .endeavours to stay the vio lence of the peonle,'and was the cause of reselling them from their peril. In consequence of some of the matter which had arisen'in the course of the defence having been new matter, which could not be foreseen, the crown was allowed to call other witnesses The testimony did not materially strengthen the case. When it was concluded, Mr. Kelly then addressed the jury in a powerful speech, which occupied five hours and a half in the delivery. The learned Counsel concluded with a very eloquent peroration, calling upon the jai'y to look at the whole features of the ease ; the life, behaviour; and character of the prisoner, and say whether he was capable of entering upon so vast a scheme of rebellion, and involving - his wife and family in the general bloodshed without' Warning. He would beg them to reflect that if they should hereafter discover that, from some error. ;l agto the evidence, they:had:consigned this wretched man'to death, what 4 . 1 / 4 .'6uld 'be their feelings should they inc the'l(W, 'w , hoM they had Made a widow—the children whom theY ;had Mad orphans. 11c had exhausted himself entirely, and would only pray God to direct them to a just conclusion. ;.'w trlslll The Chief Justice then . said—Prisoner at the bar, have you r n 7 4 i .,thinOriuilt l _eisrici - ' 7. tte'Court in. addition to that which you‘ 9 arnPareokiiiietfia r gid . foi - 'you ? , e rtsWircridfiel W6N'Tiltting, , #tise, atitVstridirr a lirtiv. tone MCI —,, Lords, lam so welyatistied with what my counsel, I 6 oter4iiiii eflatoclPAV Withinv; tettitt, ' , ..V.r , a .- , 7, - W-,!/7 ,' 1 ‘, tn*-VeafhFfitrakfflitlibil RAM U iihartlBmithend2drdtt, shiri ivould O adrll? ., (-!-:c. i -•, , 7 r ; lo R/Pi”M %.d a-oli - ' Thd ClWltiAti ?At 'the (7 ou rt - wort/d!;s4tior .Vtifilbliatm , , } yet, in oFder that the cave ini:;ht .nnisif on the fotiovrigg , l hh:ht.

His speech occupies nine columns in the Times of yesterday,' We find it imprac ticable to give even a condensed repOrt of this address. - • Chief Justice TINDAL then proceeded to deliver his charge. After explaining,the law . bY which the-case should be deter- Mined, he proceeded to reoaPitUlate . the evidence, which he did in his usually clear and sticcinct manner. - The learned : judge flieif . Prii6eede'd direct the attention of the jury to the deelaratiCrig'`inade as evidenced by the • several witnesses, and stated that it was for them to consider whe ther or not it was; tlreihtzeiitiosi and'object of the prisoner to attack' the - tralifaiY,'lhe Queen's forces, or to seize and keep possession of the. Queen's town of Newport; or to, blow up the bridge; dna - to P the mail to Birmingham ; orby delaying of the arrival of the letters there, or other means give effect to any concerted plan to spread general insurrection through out the kingdom; or Whether they believed that his object and intent was the. more moderate one alleged by his counsel, of malting such a demenstratiOn' of the moral force as it was called; by' showing how large an amount of physical force he' could assertible as might - .induce the magistrates to mitigate ,the, severity of Vincent's punishment. or to liberate fiiik altogether: You need not (said the learned, judge) so much trouble yourselves as to see that the prisoner has clearly made that out—because. that is not imposed upon - him, but it is for you to look at the cir cumstances withrall possible candour and fairness, and see if anything like such an intention appears to be probable on the face of Pleul. For vou'are not to call on him to prove his in nocence, it lies on the crown to prove exclusively that the crime charged against' hint amounts to high treason. It is your province to determine whether the crown has done this. You will look to the evidence before you,•and unless you find that, by clear, conclusive, 'unambiguous, and certain testi mony, the crime is proved to amount to high treason, with all the penal consequences attached to it,it will be your duty to acquit the prisoner : ; but if that crime is so clearly and satis factorily proved, you will find bins guilty. If such, unfor tunately should bethe case, and you should be fully satisfied that the evidence well establishes the guilt of the prisoner, t hen, however painful the matter• may be to your duty to de clare him guilty by . your verdict. The case is entirely for your consideration. It is a question in which the court can not interfere, and which it leaves to you, quite certain that you will come to that conclusion which the truth and justice of the case requires. The jury were then asked if they wished to retire to consi der of their verdict. • The Foreman answered " yes," and the bailiff was ordered to swear them in. After the bailiffs had been sworn to guard the jury, • The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said—lt is usual, my lord, in such cases, that the jurors should be asked if they wished for refreshment before they left the bar. . Chief Justice.TlNnAL then asked• the jury if they desired any refreshment. , The Foreman.—Yes, my lord ; we have had nothing since morning. [He then turned round to his fellow jurors for a few moments, and adOecl]—Some of the jury, my lord, think it will not be necessary. The jury retired at a quarter to six o'clock. The greatest anxiety prevailed in the court, which was crowded in all parts. The jury returned at half-past six o'clock, and brought in verdict of GUILTY; with a recommendation to the merciful consideration of the court. Chief J ustice TIN DAL. , - 7 Gentlemen, your recommendation shall be reported to the proper quarter. The verdict was received with deep concern by a • very crowded court ; but Mr. Frost maintained his self-possession and firmness. The farmers in the neighbourhood of Lanchester are busy securing, their. harvest. The day after Christmas-day three farmers entered , Lanchester for the purpose of engaging shearers, and on that day the novel sight of fourteen shearers in one field was witnessed. CAN IT BE TRUE ?—The borough of Marylebone, so noto rious as " a ' refuge for the destitute politicians—to wit, Messrs. Buiwer, Hall, Ewart, and Thompson—is about, so it is rumoured, to become still more notorious. Rat Gibson is,, it is said, to be brought forward by the Potters, the Ken- Setts, and the Longhorns. If this be the fact, surely Mary ; lebone will no longer be called the " refuge for the destitute.' If they receive the rat, the borough will become the very common sewer of politicians.—Morning Herald. . - DISASTERS . AT SEA. — The stormy weather experienced during the lastlortnight has been attended with considerable danger, and some injuries tothe shipping along the east coast. The two following disasters have occurred in our own imme diate neighbourhood, but it is gratifying to state that both of them have been unaccompanied by loss of life :—On the even ing Of Wednesday week, the sloop Apollo, of Leith, Mac kintosh, piaster, from Newcastle. to Leith, with coals, ship ped her anchor and cables in the Skate Roads, and the crew, finding the - vessel to be leaky, were obliged to run ashore be low Bamborough Castle. The night was very dark, and it was blowing . a tremendonS gale. Immediately on the event be col)3l4,:linOwni the Castle life-boat was launched, and the eWNi-tif the -vessel '1V713 promptly rescued. The following in - 11144161S manned the boat with considerble dexterity :---- Mr t Evans, custom-house officer, Bamborough; Mr. Willis, nderla nd ; Mr. .Patters on , fisherman, Monk's-house ; two fiShermen of 'the , name -of Rutherford, and a stranger, name unknown. - Several a ttempts were made to get theVeSsel,lint without success, owing to her having filled with water. 'The cargo would be saved. The other case'referted to is that of the Albion sloop, of Peter head, Mathewson, Master, bound to Newcastle, with pit props, which struck. on Goswick. sand ridge on Friday last, Abut sia o'clock. The crew remained on the vessel till the tide left het, when they were 'landed in safety. Part of the car *q , q was discharged in order - to l ighten her, and it is thought got tho off, tiria, if weather continues moderate , she may be liad n ikoiftht into'Berwick -harbour.

SAVIOUR'S CHURCH. We are scarcely permitted to issue a - single publication withoUt affording a fresh proof of the attachment of the people to our glorious Church Establishment, and the scrip-' tural system of religious worship and instruction which she maintains. Every opportunity of evincing that attachment is readily embraced ; and we hope we may now congratulate the trustees of St. Saviour's Church, that they have a fair prospect of seeing that edifice erected without being subject to any considerable pecuniary responsibility. The Bazaar in aid of the funds was held on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday last, and on each day was very numerously and fashionably attended. We are sorry our crowded space will only permit us to give the following The stalls, to the number of ten, were presided' over. Mrs. Crawford, MrS. Stokes; Mrs. Ashton, Mrs. Leather, Mrs. P. F. Curry; • Mrs. Lowe, Mrs. , Hodgkinsou„ Mrs. Alston, Mrs. Dutchman, Miss Simmons, the secretary to . 'the corinittee, and several other elegantly-attired females, who appeared to vie With each other in their efforts to pro mote the laudable objects. of the Bazaar, and practically to . second the simple appeal in the following lines, which were composed by a lady expressly for the occasion : Hither, stranger, turn thy gaze. 'Tis the, Queen of Beauty prays ; Here she cloth not take her stand With the laurel in her hand ; Here she bears no victor prize, Claims no knightly courtesies, - Praise and homage doth not want, But, a modest suppliant, Craves your kindly charity, Presses you to come and buy. • Would that she could image forth God's enduring church on earth, That bright Queen of Beauty, sent, • 'Midst the world's wild tournament, Not to crown the victor's brow — Holier hands his boon bestow ; Not to claim the adoring love— That belongs to him above ; But her champion friends to cheer, With a hope defined and clear ; But to make their hearts rejoice At her true unvarying voice. . • Ye, who love her teachings, conar - Help to raise another dome, ' Where truth's record shall be found, • And the song of praise resound: Ye, who mark her struggles, stay, Help her on her pilgrim's way : Ye, who in her courts have felt All your heart within you melt, llither come in liberal mood; Filled with glowing gratitude. Come, and help us in our task; Prayers, as-well as aid, we ask; Join with us in sweet accord, To rear a temple to the Lord : All your efforts should you bring, To perform ,so good a thing ; And this clay one way may try : Come and help us—come and buy Contributions were, forwarded by Mrs. Hugh Hornby, Mrs. Sewell, Mrs. Wordsworth, the Misses Molyneux, Mrs. Dugdale, Miss Littledale, &c. Donations were received from the Queen Dowager, Lady Ann 'Wilbraham, Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. Sherbourne, &c. The following letter accompanied the donatiOn from her Majesty Queen Adelaide . " Marlborough House, Jan. 7th, 1840. " Lord Howe presents his compliments to the directors of the Bazaar held for the benefit of the building of St. Saviour's Church, Liverpool. He is commanded by the Queen Dowager to transmit the enclosed note of £lO, as her contribution to that undertaking ; her Majesty regret ting that she has not had it in her power to send some work of her own hand." The proceeds of the sale and admissions during the three days amounted to upwards of £6OO ; and, as the purposes for which the Bazaar has been held are not accomplished, it will be continued • on Miniday, Tuesday, and Wednesday next, from eleven to five ; but the rooms will not be open in the evening. GLORIOUS CONSERVATIVE MEETING IN SCOTLAND_WARD. Yesterday evening the triumphant return of Richard Houghton, Esq., as representative 'in the Common Council for Scotland Ward, was celebrated by a dinner given to that gentleman and his friends, at Mrs. Musker's Hotel, " The Freemason's Arms," in Burlington-street. The assemblage of friends of the good cause was more numerous than was contemplated, and some difficulty arose in the arrangements to accommodate the whole of , the guests. The large room, was filled, as were a few minor apartments. The dining-room was handsomely decorated with flags, evergreens, flowers, &c. At the top was a flag with a figure of Britannia, and suitable inscriptions. On the other walls were numerous British ensigns, union jacks, and other national flags. On one side we noticed a very beauti ful flag—(or rather a portion of a flag only—the room not being sufficiently lofty to display it to advantage)—which had been presented to the pilots of St. Paul's ward, on New Year's Eve. It is painted by Mr. Edwards, of Prussia-street, in a masterly manner, on silk, and in the several compartments are emblematical designs having reference to our nautical town. In the centre is an admirably drawn picture of a Pilot Boat. The fabulous god of the ocean occupied another department.;. a view of the Lighthouse at the Rock Point another, and va rious other designs were well depicted on the " silk." This flag has a deep fringe of blue, and, we understand. cost about 60 guineas, subscribed by the conservatives of St. Paul's Ward. RICHARD TAYLOR, Esq. was called to preside on the oc ,casion. On his right we obseried Mr. Isaac Holmes ; Mr. Thomas Murray Gladstone; Mr. Robert Rigby; Mr. George Wright, and Mr. Thomas Wright Watson. On his left were Mr. Richard Houghton, the distinguished guest of the even ing ; Mr. Richilrd Jones': 'Mr. Robinso.n, (member for 'Great George's Ward,).and other, gentlemen ,whose names . .''we did not ascertain. The Vice-Chair was ably occupied by Mr. JaineVlYnuiiiiii.! . ' . ' . -,. : ~. . `-.) '-'The dinn . gr, : wts Axpelleut,, and sumptuous, and was served WI ' s 'ells the dessert—in a manner highly creditable to the • ties who provided. it. _ln addition to the usual substan-_ ) '- of English farst: r 44.4ase—Szass..abuudance -of grapes; I I:La t ' lfges, apples, and other fruit of the first quality ; and the Ft .5 4 nes . werellighly•spoken..Of - by the lovers. of that classical lxii'Crage. , - i , Mr. - Mei Stithlies•band was in attendance, and played .r... many favourite lattthappropriate airs during the evening, on the toasts .I;ei . ngigiy6p, , ,. -. d ' ' On the clop being Withdrawn, the CHAIRMAN said that the first.tonst - was one which he felt assured every Conserva tive would drink 'with enthusiasm. He proposed the health of her Mtljesty the Queen: (The toast was received with three time's'three loud and enthusiastic cheers, all who were present being upstanding.) " God save the Queen" was played by the band, and the conclusion was marked by three cheers. ' The CHAIRMAN said lie should now propose the health of an amiable and illustrious lady, who possessed all those graces and endoWments which adorn the - sex. . He proposed " The Queen. Dowager." The toast was responded to with the utmost enthusiasm, the cheering being loud and'long. " Here a health to allgood lasses." The next toast proposed by the CHAIRMAN was that of " The Great Duke," which was received with enthusiastic and prolonged cheers, and clapping of hands. The next health proposed from the chair was that of " Lord‘Lyndhurst and the 'House of Peers," which created a renewal of the cheering, and was followed by the playing of " Hearts of Oak" by the band. The CHAIRMAN then gave " Sir Robert Peel and the Con servative Members of the House of Commons," which was followed by thundering applause. 4, The Members for the County, both north and south," was a toast hailed with equal spirit. The CHAIRMAN then said that he doubted not but they would do ample justice to the next toast—" Our glorious Constitution in Church and-State." A gentleman well qua lified for the task would respond to the toast. (Loud cheers.) . . Mr. ISAAC HOLAIES rose amidst prolonged cheering. He said it had frequently been his province to address public assemblies on the local affairs of the town, and he was now called upon to advert to the constitution of the country. He did not think that that constitution was so much in danger, even from the recent seditious movements of certain parties, as from the ministers themselves—the vipers who sur rounded the throne—a ministry the most weak, the most corrupt, the most wicked that had ever yet gained ascen dancy in the government of this country. They could not be called a whit; administration. Even the son of Lord Grey and others of rank amongst the nobility had deserted them, and they had, in fact, become the slaves of a beggar— subservient to his beck, and ready at all times to do his bid ding. What had they done for this country ? Let its con dition testify. What had they done abroad ? Let them but look to Spain, the plains of which they, by their policy, had • crimsoned with blood, spreading destruction and desolation throughout a once powerful, friendly, and independent state.' The state of France and Portugal furnished equal testimonials of their policy, which had shackled commerce and Spread misery amongst mankind. It they looked to Russia, all wcitild be replied to. They had suffered that country,. all grasping as it was, 'to overrun and destroy Poland ; and had put no efficient check upon her, though she threatened'even to overrun our Indian possessions. Such, indeed, had been the policy of the ministers, that this country was insulted in the remotest quarters of the world. Canada they had all but lost the West Indies was in nearly a similar state ; and, coming nearer home, the state of Ireland was still more de plorable. What did they think of the agitator of that country exclaiming, that he would die in the last ditch before he would submit to the Duke of Wellington ! (Mr. Holmes here quoted a passage from a poet, illustrative of the despe rate condition to which that country had ben reduced.) Talk of slavery abroad, indeed ! The present incapable administration were the veriest of slaves. They submitted to be whipped and even to be scorned by a beggar. (Cheers.) He deeply lamented that the Queen of England was, through them, so placed that she knew not the danger that surrounded her. But he trusted a brighter day would ere long dawn, and that the present ministry would ere long be thrust from the station which they so unworthily occu pied. (Cheers.) He trusted that at the first meeting of parliament the influence of public opinion would show these men that they could no longer sway the doctrines of this great country. (Cheers.) 'W ith respect to this one ward., he rejoiced in the spirit evinced by the electors in making choice bf Mr. Houghton. That gentleman had nobly stood up for the interests of the ward and the town, and he, (Mr. Holmes,) had on no one occasion differed from him in his votes. It was a high proof of the estimation in which that gentleman was held by them that they had returned him to the council without his soliciting for a single vote. (Cheers,) He had now to draw their attention to a gentle r man who was worthy of their confidence and support—Mr. Murray . Gladstone. (Cheers.) The respectable borough of Preston had thought proper to send that gentleman a requisition to put himself in nomination for. that, town. Mr. Gladstone had not yet given his final reply ; and he (Mr: Holmes) entertained hopes that Mr. Gladstone would remain among them, and would come forward as a candidate, to represent one of the most important. wards of the town, and in which he would doubtless promote the best interests of the conservatives. (Cheers) There were present three gentlemen who had succeeded in wresting from the opposite party as many wards which they, (the radicals,) had considered to be in no danger. They had defeated them in St. Anne's Ward, and also in LiMe-street Ward, in the latter of which the radical candidate had re ceived his note of dismissal. They had then ejected the doc tor, who, like a four-pronged fork, united the callings of doctor, apothecary, surgeon, and druggist. (Cheers.) He concluded by hoping that the conservatives would, on the next election, nobly achieve that triumph of which they were worthy, and eject the " radical" who might attempt to op pose them. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then said that he had to propose the health of a gentleman whose return for the ward they had that day met to celebrate. He (the Chairman) doubted not but that gentleman would repay to the fullest extent, the confidence which had been reposed in him. He proposed the health of Richard Houghton, .Esq. The toast was received with loud and continued applause. Mr. HOUGHTON said he felt greatly obliged for the honour Conferred by the toast, and the handsome manner in which it had been conveyed. They had that day met to celebrate his return for the ward ; but they had a much higher object in view, and that was the choice of another candidate 'against the next November election. (Cheers.) So much had al ready been eloquently said by the previous speakers on the general topics which they had to discuss, that little was left for him to add. They might have found a more compe eat representative than him. (Cries of " No, no, we will stick by you till the resurrection gun is fired.") Mr. Gladstone would, he believed, be as excellent member of the council, and he hoped they would make the same exertions for that gentle man as they had made for. him, and he doubted not of his success. 'He concluded. by- proposing the health of Thomas Murray Gladstone, Esq. (Long and continued cheering followed the•proposition of this toast, and it was drunk with the greatest enthusiasm.) _ _ _ THOMAS M. GLADSTONE, Esq., responded to the toast, in an able and most eloquent manner ; but we,exceedingly regret that, being on' the eve of publication, we are preeluded from supplying more than a mere outline of, his address. He ac knowledged hiS sense of the honour done' to . him by so • resPectable an assemblage, in. grateful teruis.: , Hevext ad vexed to the warehouse question, contending, that but for the private exertions of individuals the warehouse dations would have fallen much short of -what they were at - present ; and that the project of building warehouses by the Dock Committee would be but increasing an already per nicious monopoly.. He next touched on the education question, expressing his opinion that the system pursued by the present corllbration tended to diffuse all the pernicious doctrines o popery and infidelity. He read an extract from the History of England in 177 Q, sliming the, striking analogy between that period and the present ; and commented upon each passage as he proceeded, in a very happy and humorous man ner. After some able remarks on the imbecility of the pre sent administration, he concluded by proposing the health of Mr. Isaac Holmes, their worthy representative. Mr. HOLMES returned thanks in a humorous address, in which he hit hard the radical party in the council. He pro posed the health of Mr. Robinson. Mr. ROBINSON returned thanks as a newly-elected " mem ber of the Liverpool House of Representatives," in a very neat and appropriate manner. He concluded by proposing the health of the Chairman. Mr. TAYLOR replied in a feeling and neat address. He proposed the health of the conservative electors of the ward, which was drunk with much enthusiasm. Mr. •DUNCAN, the Vice-Chairman, on his health being drunk, replied in an energetic and good-humoured address, and proposed the health of the second Luther, the Rev. H. WlNeile, and thanks to hina for his extraordinary ex ertions in the cause of Protestantism. (Tremendous cheers.) T. MURRAY GLADSTONE, Esq. proposed " the Conserva tive press," which was drunk with great applause; and was briefly and appropriately responded to by a gentleman pre sent. A number Of other toasts and sentiments were afterwards given, and elieited interesting addresses. The meeting did not separate till a late hour, all highly gratified by the enthusiastic proceedings of the evening. IMPORTANT NEWS FROM CHINA. important ~ By an extraordinary: express from Paris, intelligence from China has been received, contained in the Calcutta Englishman of the 11th of November. The news from China extends to the linh of Septem- ;•:;.::1T ber. It was brought by the schooner Hellas, which left Macao on the (lay last mentioned. This news is -moil: of greater importance than any previously received -I '' q from the same quarter. It appears that, we are AT ' . ,rzl'e:', Ta OPEN WAR WITH CHINA. The particulars will 'be , ' ,- xi 1 ' 1 it J found in the following letter from Hong Hong, and r the general memorandum subjoined :—. •. " Hoog Hong, Sept. 9. .... . - " On the 26th of August all the British were ordered to quit Macao on a notice of )2 hours, and with the exception of Mr. Beale, who remains as Prussian consul,.and Mr. 11...„,, ... Stewart, who would not quit his wife suffering from ill ness, and who had sought shelter in the house of Mr. King, the American merchant, and friend of Lin. We were all compelled to embark with so much precipitation, as scarcely to find time to take along with us our account-books and clothes. A day later, and not one of us could have gone on board the ships, as her Majesty's f r i ga t e Volage had then anchored at Macao Roads. The death of a Chinese in the scuffle at Hong Hong is the cause of this expulsion. Lin had called on Captain Elliot to surren der the homicide, but as nobody knew who he was, he issued orders to the Portuguese governor at Macao to drive out the English, although, had it been certain who the offender was, he certainly would never have been delivered up. The Chi nese authorities put in practice their accustomed policy by withdrawing all our Chinese servants. We then took Por tuguese, and they intercepted all provisions for the Eng lish, and would latterly have done so for all, unless we took our departure. The Governor of Macao, who possesses no means of resistance, did not, it must be allowed, issue any written order for our embarkation ; on the contrary, he officially gave out that he would afford us all the protection in his power; but he said in private, and insinuated, by means of his friends, that he could do nothing—that the houses of the English residents were likely to be surrounded by. the Chinese, soldiery, collected in the environs of Macao, and that serious danger impended on their persons and pro perty. On the afternoon of the 26th of August he announced to Mr. Astell, the president of the committee of public safety, that if the British residents were ready to embark next day at noon, the garrison would be under arms to protect the em barkation against the insults of the Chinese. The noon of the next day, however, brought to view neither soldiers nor a Chinese rabble to insult any one. Nobody but the governor himself, in full uniform, who had come to make secure tha the English were embarking, before he went to the senate to give in his report of the circumstance, which the moment it was done was communicated by that body to the man darins. The following day the Portuguese were thanked by Lin for - having expelled the English, and he an nounced his intention of coining himself on the follow ing Sunday to testify in person the satifaction he ex perienced on the occasion, though he, nevertheless, postponed ' his visit for several days. The Portuguese troops marched ..„ to the barrier to receive him, and accompanied him into ' Macao, when he was met by the authorities, wh o we l co m e d '' l him with sundry salvoes of artillery. He did not enter the _ i ll government-house, and he made but a very short visit, hay- ' .„ ing returned to - the Bogue, where report says another great ' ! - --' , e' commission had - arrived from Pekin. The opinion of the 1 A Chinese is, that Lin has caused too much " bobbery," and that the new commission has'-been despatched- to qualify his ,- - all'ir measures. Time will chew how this is.. Meantime British ~:sett trade to Canton is wholly at an end, and the Ainericans are turning the state of affairs to abcount as far as they are able . ... 14 1 ] Our affairs, indeed, as ...von .may rwell judge, are in the most , l 3 complete coofusion, when you h ear. o f our coun ti ng -h ouses . . being on boardlioats; Shi ps , 4 4 -<4'.° l) rlii Britishfkiverninent ' 1 1 must adopt severe mea sur e s against the Chinese ; we c an .i7l - 1 , never regain our commerce and influence among them, but 1 at the point of the bayonet. "Another most - affiicting occurrence has lately taken place. '1311.4A. The Black Jok e h av i ng left. Macao with Mr. Moss, a passen ger, on board, an d si x l ascars, was compe ll e d t o anc h or in `'`f ai l the Lanted Passage. and wait for the tide. She was there' , Jri2 4 surprised by three mandarin boats, and when all in her werer. j sound asleep, these barb ar i ans bo a rded her, ma ssacre d a ll the -110 lascars on board, and 'must have thrown their bodies into the sea, as none of them were found in the boat. A child was ,1i . . 01 1 among them, who was cut in two. One of the las cars , a ft er ' ' 1 having his ears severed from his head, jumped overboard, •lif 01 and was saved by Captain Wallace's schooner, after having ,ii,l been eight hours in the water. " The tindal of the boat also sprung into the water, but ." 0 with great expertness laid hold of the helm, when the hands ~1 , 41 of these ruffians, who, after committing such atrocitie s , ap parently parently wished to satisfy themselves that there was no one Th 101 4„ about, encountered his head in this position. He instantly :I . dived, and by his presence of mind made his escape. The passenger, surprised while asleep in his berth, was almost cut to pieces : his left arm was neatly severed from his body, with a wound in the head, and his far torn off, and placed between his lips in derision. The villains then wanted to fire the boat, but seeing another vessel approach they took to flight. Mr. MoSs, dreadfully mutilated as he is, is fully ex pected to survive, but his life was first considered in great danger. " On the morning of the 4th, when all seemed for the mo ment quiet, Captain Elliot, who, since the 23d of August had been at Hong Hong, got under weigh in his cutter, in company with-the schooner Pearl, under the command of Captain Redding, and stood , for the Bay of Coloon, intend ing to procure a supply of provisions for the fleet. Having arrived at their destination, a nd made k nown th e o bj ec t o f ~,.'; their coming, it appears that provisions were brought in abun- .. 1 dance, which may be re a dil y beli e ved, as th e i n h a bit an t s o f-,,i()", that district h ave a l wa y s s h own th emse l ves w illi ng t o d ea l . , o i: 4 with European s . Th e man d ar i ns , ho w ever, on h oar d th e war „., junks, opp ose d th e em b ar k a ti on o f th e supp li es, w h en Capt. ' - 2 Elliot intimated to them, that if in the space of half an hour the.provisions were not allowed to pass, he would open fire upon them. The halfhour passed, and the gun was fired. About three o'clock in the afternoon reports of guns were heard at the anchorage, which were at first supposed to be merely to salute themandarins ; but the fire continuing, we were going fudhs from our vessel at about half-past four,when I could o bserve what passed. Several other boats also got under weigh, and in turning the point of Hong Hong we saw several boats ap proaching, who came for supnlies of ammunition, and brought orders for the frigate Volage to get under weigh. Their war junks were endeavouring to put to sea, the Pearl 'and cutter obstructing their passage out, and compelling them, by a well-maintained lire, to seek shelter under the walls of the Coloon fort, which returned the fire of the cutter and Pearl shot for shot. About six o'clock, the frigate being in sight,,the boat of Captain Douglas, who commanded in person, with the European seamen on board, and three other boats with lascars, made an attempt to carry the junk by boarding, but this was found impracticable from the height of their vessels, which were provided with•pikes and board ing netting's. Captain Dui boat then opened a fire of 1 musketry, to which the Chine se replied b e tt er th an I ex ' petted. The result of the battle is this—we are left without provisions; and the junks escaped from us in the night. " Orders having been given to the boats to withdraw, and to hold themselves ready next morning, at break of day, to attack and destroy both the fort and junks, every one re paired at the appointed time to the scene of action, mustering -.i t ; altogether about 1,000 men. To the great surprise of all, the .„,' frigate, cutter, an d P ear l were seen t owe d away by th e i r boats, -:`"- ' having abandoned all idea of proceeding further in the matter. 'fir Captain Elliot's mind had, it appears, undergone a complete „./' change in the course of the night. Now, whether it was right ''.." in him to begin the affray or not, yet, having himself struck the , al first blow, there seems no doubt but that he.ought. to have di iti brought the business to a point, and captu r ed the nks that were preventing the supply of provisions. Whereas th e' 3 d only fruit of all the cannonading, which begun at three in the.A l afternoon, and - lasted till nightfall, is that we have managed' to compromise our se l ves s till f ur th er w ith the governmen t 10 of China, while we have, at the same time, failed to inspire qj it with any dread; for, after what has passed, it will, no doubt, reg ar d it se lf as th e v i c t or i ous p ar t y. Th e l oss in fli killed amounts to one mandarin of rank, an inferior man- ,;./ darin, and four Chinese soldiers, besides seven wounded. On our side, four Europeans are wounded, of whom it is supposed one will die. Captain Douglas received a ball in '- his arm, but the wound is not dangerous. .. . GENERAL MEMORANDUM. " Hong Hong, Sept.:6, 1839. " The chief superintendent having delivered over the mili tary superintendence of the defence of this fleet against the menaced attack of the Chinese government to Capt. Smith, of her Majesty's ship Volage, has been requested by that officer, with a view to prevent interference with previous arrangements, to continue to conduct the detail till any ac tual attack should he made, except only as respects a divi sion of light armed vessels, under the immediate orders of Captain Smith. " The chief superintendent has now to acquaint the commanders that he has received credible information of the intention of the high commissioner to assail the fleet by fire vessels, and other modes of annoyance. He has, therefore, .to direct that the ships may immediately com plete their water and other equipments, bend sails, and is other respects keep prepared for sea. He has also to re commend particular attention to the suggestion of his ge neral memorandum for the better protection of the fleet, concerning the keeping of strict Watch, the using guard among the sections, the furling of awnings at night, prepara tions of every kind against fire, and the most careful ab stinence from signals by lanterns, rockets, blue lights, and other means, firing guns Or Muskets after sunset, leading to the unnecessary alarm of the fleet, and in all probability to some serious disasters. " The chief superintendebt again •earnestly recommends the commanders 'lotto fall'intc'•the mistake of desTisint an enemy, or neglecting precautionarY measures of defence.
