ii 434 hitherto opposed, and which is fraught with fraud and Injustice. The motion, when divested of its Jesuit's bark and laid bare to ordinary apprehension, means this. The 84 rPlus revenue of the protestant church, " when not re quired for the spiritual wants of the church," is, for the first time since the revolution in 1688, to be placed at the disposal of parliament, and be, by parliament, ap- Plied to the " religious and moral instruction of all l asses of the community." Parliamet, or in other w ords, the House of Commons, is to decide as to the necessities of the church, and the "spiritual wants" of its members. Lord JoHN RUSSELL, JOs'EPH HUME, JOHN GULLY, Dr. BOWRING, Surgeon WA&LEY, and the sainted "tail," are to have the power of determining th e "wants" of the protestants of Ireland, of augment ,:l3g "Iminishing the supplies of the church, of sitting In Judgment upon its labours, of approving or disap- P r oving of its ministrations, and of extending or cur tailing its powers at their sovereign will and pleasure ! ! If this sort of popish and infidel inquisition is to be established in England it will inflict upon the people many humiliations, and perhaps lead to bloodshed and Co nfiscation. But the evil does not end with the vast a nd inquisitorial powers demanded by Lord JOHN Rus- S ILL He requires that parliament shall have the Power of distributing those funds, which parliament may declare to be surplus funds. In other words, parliament is to determine the amount of revenue to be subtracted from the income of the church, and have the privilege of distributing it in aid of such religious and moral pur- Poses as it may think fit to direct. For instance, the f unds called surplus by an omnipotent and irresponsi ble body may be appropriated to support some arrogant and upstart advocate of infidel or unitarian principles in some deserted but usurped chapel. A portion may be given to a few of O'CorsrtELL's priestly impostors in Ire land- A few pounds, in shape of largess, may be given to some political hireling who has denounced an honest voter from the altar. The proposition ot Lord JOHN linstrELL has no other object than to provide Vund, de rived from the church, to destroy the church itself, con fer Power upon the enemies of religion; encourage hos tility to the institutions of the country, and undermine and ultimately destroy the monarchy. We feel satisfied that the intelligent and respectable Portion of the people of England have only to reflect for Very few moments on the crafty designs of Lord JOHN R USSELL to see that they aim at spoliation—that they are founded in a malevolent hatred of the church— and that they are framed in a spirit of deliberate fraud. Can any thing be more monstrous than to assume, as the basis of this plundering proposition, that the church of Ireland has or can have any " surplus revenue." If by any unforeseen changes her revenues could be in creased, surely they cannot be increased in the ratio of t he Wants of Ireland. Is no difference to be recognised b etween popery and protestantisin ? Is it of no con. sequence to give to the Roman Catholics of that island a spiritual education ?—to disinfect their depraved minds I ron) the thraldom, the helplessness, and the desolation of idolatry ?—to raise them in the scale of humanity, and s nake them more amenable to law, reason, and the max ims of christianity—maxims they have never been taught *--law they disobey—reason they do not comprehend ? If this moral and spiritual revolution be not ruled to be desirable, we give up our case. But we contend that the first duty of an enlightened christian is to make all the available revenue of the Irish church applicable to the extension of protestant principles and christian duties. The statesman who asserts the contrary may be a block head. but he is also an enemy of peace, charity, moral- I tY• and real religion. He may simply be a candidate f or place, but still he is a firebrand in a peaceful country. Lord JOHN RUSSELL is a disappointed man of a very ;mall mind, but yet he is capable of doing much mis chief. He may not see to what terrible extremities his Principles lead. But it is no excuse for our apathy that he is destroying the house of RUSSELL. The revenues of the church of England were secured to her for the pur pose of propagating the principles of the reformed faith. Tile property of the dukedom of BEDFORD was given to t he house of RUSSELL, avowedly in recompense of its ser vices in the cause of the reformed religion. Parliament,' therefore, has no more right to touch the one descrip !i°4 of property than it has to touch the > other. The 'ands and revenues of the church are the property of the church. The lands and revenues of Tavistock Abbey and Covent Garden were the grants of royalty ; and the frequent invasions of their charters, for the sake of profit, 17 the RUSSELLS, particularly in regard to the "seven ac res." where the most wretched part of the metropolis now stands, were violations of law. Had the house of R USSELL been restricted to the conditions of their origi 4141grants, they would not have been worth one hundredth Pan of their present income. This, however, by the way. Lord JOHN RUSSELL has not yet reached the dream of restoration. He is only Playing The part of one of the Gadshill robbers in the Present parliament, " Pethee, lend me thy lantern," says Lord JOTIN. " 11l see thee hanged first," answers Sir ROBERT PEEL. The noble lord, flattered by very So rry purse-takers, fancies himself qualified to be prime mi nister and the leader of the House of Commons. vow- p oe t ! He forgets that Lord STANLEY has higher claims, and that he is only endured beciuse his ambition, b eing turned into a channel of party annoyance, gives no ?ffence, simply because it can create no jealousy. He 111 a respectable faggot; he is an useful drudge ; but as a *tar, or as a leader, if there were the slightest hope of range, Lord JOHN would be kicked into the first conve nient horse-pond, and there extinguished and forgotten. But the question comes—what is Sir ROBERT PEEL to 4° in the event of his defeat by a majority of the house "Pon Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S motion ? We do not fear e ueh defeat; but still having, in common with the nation generally, reason to repose the utmost confidence in the P r ofessions, the measures, and the talents of the right honourable baronet, we are most anxious that his inde- Pendence as a minister, and the ultimate success of his co nservative and enlightened principles, should not be thwarted or compromised by any factious vote of the ; Ouse; of Commons. Sir ROBERT PEEL is the only man a whose hands the interests and institutions of England ar e safe. He is disposed to make large and liberal con cessions—and to the utmost extent of liberality and con le:liation we are prepared to follow and support him; but on this question, involving the very existence of the c hurch and the preservation of the supremacy of the pro tatant religion, he should succumb to the majority of the goose of Commons, led by men who are the ene kalies of the church, we frankly tell the right hon o u ra bl e 'armlet that, come what may, we cannot, we must not, We Will not support him ! Re has with him the hearts of all good Englishmen. see has, in case of defeat, a sure, a noble, a glorious re la,,edY in his own hands. The country is delighted with "'s yet immatured but initiated measures. His tithe eetnamtation bill—his dissenters' bill—his Irish comput e° rY commutation bill—his legal reform bill—have gained , lint the cordial, grateful, and harmonious approbation of the People at large. He must not therefore make any e atnpromi se with Lord JOHN. He would sink incalcula u kI Y in public estimation if he did. The House of Corn :a °us underwent a wholesome purgation at the last elec. " I t• Taking all the Whigs, quacks, infidels, and Unitarians into account, there were at least one hundred Th at fifty m em b ers w h o were dispossessed of their seats. t at was a large blessing. Still there are from fifty to 11 4e1 enty members—we do not include the " tail"—who i " no pretensions whatever, either on the score of t alent or respectability, to sit in that house. A new l ection would rid us of these worthy patriots, and send Ut eri) back to pursue, if not a more honest, atleast a more Use ful calling in the country. In carefully looking over th e `nits we find room for at least forty conservatives that Telt have been returned in January last if they had had si l mie courage -to offer themselves. Lord JoHN RUSSELL tio iLl most effectually destroyed every remnant of repute h° which might have belonged to the whig party. : 1 coalition with O'CONNELL and HUME has convinced hi e rY intelligent man that his motives are factious, that s t e iews are selfish, that his whole conduct in opposition J u% se and malignant. There was a time when Lord ' 1 ,7 RUSSELL was held in high estimation by a large of dissenters, but he has most deservedly lost their confidence..._ Sir ROBERT PEEL, has done more for the dissenters during the few days he has been in office than Lord JOHN did in the four years of the Whig adminis tration. Now, then, is the time to strike another blow. The nation is tired of faction, of political and party squab bling, of personal invectives, of angry taunts, of " vulgar insolence," of nightly exhibitions of bravado and men dacity. If the vote of last night, therefore, or of to-night, or of to-morrow night, be against ministers, we sincerely hope that such measures will be adopted as shall expedite a second appeal to the people at large. There can be no mistake now as to the intentions or the policy of Sir ROBERT PEEL. Whoever doubted or suspected him a few weeks ago can do so no longer. He is supported by the country. He has no majority to contend against except in the House of Commons ; and if the people will it, as we believe they are inclined to do, that majo rity would very speedily be reduced to an insignificant minority. If the people, contrary to our conviction, should not so act, then to revolution we must come—a sweeping, a terrible revolution—an upturning of the ridges, a removal of the land marks, a sifting of the debt, a confiscation of the crown, church, and abbey lands— a robbery of the national creditor, the lay impropriator, the pensioner, the sinecurist, and last of all, THE POOR. in the total abolition of the poor laws. If we are to have revolution THE SOONER IT COMES THE BETTER. Our attention has been called to a bill introduced into the House of Commons, for the purpose of " regu lating the carriage of passengers in merchant vessels from the united kingdom to the British possessions on the continent, and islands of North America." It has already been printed by order of the house. As we are inclined to believe that the bill has originated in mis take, we are unwilling to speak of it as its enactments demand, until we are favoured with some additional information. The trade of carrying emigrants to Ame rica has been much} abused, and. the poor people sub jected to cruelties add oppressions beyond belief. But the evil which requires the speediest remedy has little or no connexion' with emigration directly to the North American colonies. The law does not regulate the car riage of passengers to the United States. Thousands of these persons go first to New York en route to Canada, and there is no law by which they can be pro tected from extortion and fraud, from starvation or dreadful sufferings during the passage. The same may be said of the emigrant trade to New South Wales, the Cape of Good Hope, and other settlements. We throw out these hints for the present, promising to recur to the subject. It is with great reluctance that we bring the conduct of the Reverend EDWARD HULL once more before the public. But he has himself solely to blame. He has chosen to cast reflections upon several if not all of the gentlemen who form the committee of management of the Asylum for the Blind, and it is hard to expect that they should submit to undeserved censure, and coarse attacks, in silence. It is a pity that the reverend gentle. man has no sensible advisers, or that having them lie should scorn their counsel, thereby showing the world that a vain man is generally his own detractor, and that. Mr. HULL is Mr. HULL'S worst enemy. His conduct before the committee alluded to has already been the subject of public remark, and it is now a matter of notoriety anything but favourable to Mr. HULL or the interests of the charitable institution out of whose funds he is so amply and, as we think, extrava gantly provided for. Not content with attacking these gentlemen at the committee board and through the me dium of the newspapers, the reverend gentleman has printed what is called a report of his speech, which he has, in rather a sinister way, circulated among his friends and acquaintance. This we take leave to say is not only a disingenuous but even a dishonourable mode of attack ing private gentlemen equally if not fully as respectable as himself. Mr. HULL states that be has been "grossly misrepre sented by a member of the body," meaning thereby a member of the committee of management. In another place he says 1—" The resolution having been rejected by the committee, I requested that my name might be withdrawn from the committee, as I considered that an imputation had been cast upon , my honour, and that I had been GROSSLY INSULTED !" These are hard words indeed. Those who do not know Mr. HULL as well as we do will very naturally imagine that he has been an extremely ill-used man— that he has received some deep affront—that he has suf fered some grievous wrong. All this is a mere phantom conjured up by the reverend gentleman himself ; for the gross insult•is like Pies story of a broken leg and seven motherless children, upon which he had subsisted for nearly half a year. All the injury which Mr. HULL has sustained is the revocation of a very impertinent resolu tion entered upon the waste book of the institution at his request. When this was done—and it was done unanimouslynot a single remark was offered by any of the gentlemen present. It was proper that such a reso lution should not be suffered to remain even in the ob scure corner where be had placed it. It was, therefore; blotted out, and hence the gross insult ! After this the public will be able to appreciate the serious complaints of Mr. HULL. We would advise him to take some soothing syrup and remain quiet for the next three months. This fretting, fuming, and making mountains out of crums is not calculated to minister to his serenity or usefulness. It only makes him ridiculous, and gives occasion to those to laugh who would other wise pity him. Our friendly advice, he may depend upon. it, is the best after all. ' " LONDON LATEST NEWS. City, Half-past Seven o'clock, Saturday Evening. We understand that Lord Eliot has been dispatched by our government to Don Carlos, with propositions fOr the'evacuation of Spain, and also with an expression of the determination of the English cabinet, in conjunction with France, to put an end to the unnatural contest prevailing in the peninsula, a contest in which the sanguinary massacres perpetrated speak far more of the character of the savage than of that of civilized mad. We also learn, this afternoon, that intelligence has reached Paris entirely contradicting the reported illness of Mina. This man of blood, it appears. is so far from ill, that he was preparing a grand blow of slaughter, and hed formed plans for carrying on his war of extermination upon a larger scale than heretofore.

SOMETHING MYSTER rous.—The Dublin correspondent of the Morning Herald communicates the following, which he says is likely to give employment to the gentlemen of the long robe : " A few months ago, an eminent merchant in this city, who, together with his lady, was remarkable for the profuse lavishing of his money towards Roman Catholic charities, has, much to the surprise and consternation of the mercantile world, stopped payment. On a meeting of the creditors it was discovered, in addition to the vexation of the assets being much less than what might have been reasonably expected, that a very large sum of money—alleged to be the property of the lady—had been so vested in a religious society of ladies, that to lay a finger on it seemed wholly out of the question. However, ene of the cre ditors, an attorney, thought otherwise, and forthwith prepared to take such measures as would be most likely to recover th cash from the pious sisters; and as a foretaste of his intentions, he laid a detainer on the body corporate of one of the highest functionaries of the Romish church, who, it appears, had medi tated a continental trip pending the disclosures likely to be re- vealed by this singular transaction, as his reverence's t yidyt)c..o is considered to be of the stmost importance.'.' . ' SHE LIVERPOOL sTANDARD. GLEANINGS FROM THE NEW YORK PAPERS. The gentlemen of the press in America are favoured with a richness of language and a redundancy of meta phor, which, to say the least of them, are highly amus ing. It is true that the flowers so used are not selected with much taste, and do not grow under the advantages of superior cultivation; but we have no right to com plain. Grapes do not grow on thistles. The New York Journal of Commerce, of 23d February (we like to be particular about dates), contains the fol lowing " affair of honour," which it professes to extract from a Mississippi paper. The standard of manners must be exquisite and refined to a very high degree, where two black rascals, not quite so respectable, and not one hundredth part so intelligent as a London costermonger, appeal to the duello. But here are the important parti culars. It will be seen that the character and reputaticn -of a portion of the newspaper press were very nearly compromised by the rencontre. " An apology is due to our patrons in town foi the non delivery of our paper on the last publication day. Our carrier, Alfred, a coloured man, had an unfortunate inisundeistandiug with another servant, which terminated in an " affair of honour" bet Ween the parties. " They met with pistols at five paces, loaded with three balls, and both fired nearly at the seine instant. Alfred received a severe wound in the right arm, after which both parties express ing their entire satisfaction, the affair terminated." , The state of travelling by the mails is thus described by the same journal. We can understand why a mail should be delayed, but how the last should come in before the first is a puzzler. What is meant by " the black pony" we regret we are unable to tell. " The mails are in a very disordered state. We get a dozen from New Orleans, half a dozen from Mobile, and nearly a.l many from Savannah and Charleston,—THOSE WHICH SET OUT LAST OFTEN ARRIVE FIRST. We do not believe that since the wretched administration of Mr. Barry commenced, the mails throughout the country have at any time been in a worse con dition than they are now. The black pony is loudly called for." During a storm, alias a " blow," in a town called Liberty, a man of the name of Hall is killed. On a serious matter of this kind modest and homely language would, according to our taste, be most befitting. The Americans however think differently, and they cannot allow an accident to pass over without indulging in a piece of genuine pathos. Mr. Hall is described as " having fallen a victim to the wind." A Dr. Samuel S. Pool, while skating on Little river, was suddenly precipitated into a hole and drowned. The moral from this is, that Pools should avoid Holes— if pos sible! . . The Americans, have menaced France with war. 'By' what follows it would appear that hostilities have already begun, but this sort of warfare is certainly the safest, if not the most natural. We copy from the journal of 24th February : " We cannot forbear mentioning, though with very deep morti fication, an incident of Saturday, which reflects great discredit upon a portion of our population. It was this:—Oa the land ing of the French officers from the ship at Castle Garden, be tween one and two o'clock, a mob assembled at the foot of the bride cumin , ' on to oppose their cumin on shore. It was a base raga .? muffin crew of boys and universalsuffraye voters, who threw them seUves in the way of the officers, and assailed them with insult ing exclamations, crying, " Down with the Frenchmen," "don't let them come," " drown them!! !" &c. &c. The officers were on their way to the consul general, who resides at the Battery, and the mob accompanied them thither, to the amount Of 7 or 800. " M. Le Forest was at the office of the consulate at the time, to which place a part of the mob continued their course. 'Their rude and ruffian cries were continued at his house for a time, and M. Le Forest represented the case to the Mayor, whose deportment on the occasion was such as might have been ex pected from that offices, who is alike a gentleman in his feelings and conduct. "The feelings of these strangers,—gentlemen themselves, and attached to a most honourable service,—were of course deeply injured from such a reception from the old friends and allies of their own country. They knew not what to make of such a popular outbreaking in a t►me of peace, and in a country boast ing so much of its intelligence and orderly character. But the most satisfactory representations have been made to them, and the subject is now, as we have reason to believe, understood in its true l►ght." How anxious the writer is to represent that this dis graceftl proceeding was the work of boys and " universal suffrage voters." Are we to infer from this that these sort or voters are ruffians. But where were the men— the genuine republicans—the moral and correct citizens, when the boys, and the 4 universal suffrage voters" were insulting the French officers? About this ,the less that is asked or told the better. But let us take a leap from New York to New Orleans, and see how men and manners progress in that locality. We at once light upon a rich scene in the assembly of the state. In our own beautiful House of Commons members occasionally accuse each other of uttering falsehoods, which certainly is very indecorous; but our honourable representatives do not vet carry horse pistols with them to assist at their deliberations. The scene is thus described by a native : NEW ORLEANS, FEB. s.—On the 3d inst., about the hour that the House of Representatives were to be called to order, the speaker, Mr. Alcee Labranche, entered the hall, when he was assailed by John R. Grymes, Esq., who raised his cane to strike him. Mr. Labranche, to defend himself, drew a 'small pocket pistol, which he discharged at his assailant without effect. Mr. GrytLes thereupon drew from his bosom a horse pistol, which he levelled at Mr. Labranche, and tired. The pistol proved to have been loaded with a ball and buckshot. l'he ball passed between two members, grazed the forehead of Mr. C. Lavergne, a member, and entered the wall of the hall. Two of the buckshot took effect, and were lodged in the arm and hand of Mr. Labranche. These are all the details of the affair necessary to make it perfectly understood. It is, in itself, an outrage the most un pardonable; for whatever may have been Mr. Grymes' cause of grievance, he cannot, by any argument or pretext, excuse himself in having entered the legisLitive hall to attack one of its members, the speaker, with pistols, thus showing a uisre spect to that whole body—to the state—and, indeed, endanger ing the lives of other persons disconnected with the affair. In the house, yesterday, the committee on the affray pre sented a report and resolutions to the effect that the speaker deliver to the sergeant-at-arms his mandate for the appearance before the house of John It. Grymes, that he might be heard iu his defence, and th e j u d gmen t o f the house be passed upon his Conduct. V of Itheeltalktl; e b r o ) f t following from the Journal of Commerce, RIOT IN CINCINNATI.—We regret to learn by the Cincinnati Journal that a serious riot occurred in that city a short time since, on the occasion of the consecration of the catholic chapel. It appears that Dr. Alexander Duncan, (a member of the Ohio senate,) happened to be standing in the street through which the procession passed, and not aware that the rules of their church require every person to uncover his head in the pre sence of the bishop on such occasions, he neglected to take off his hat. On the arrival of the procession opposite to where he stood, he was requested to uncover his head immedately. He replied th a t h e was i n a p u bli c street, and that how much soever he respected the forms and ceremonies of the catholic religion, it ill comported with his dignity as an American citizen to do homage to any man. On saying this he was immediately sur rounded by a large number of those in the procession, his but forcibly torn from hir head, his clothes torn, and himself beaten in a most shocking manner. Several other persons who had the hardihood to stand in the. presence of a foreign bishop with their hats on, shared the same fate with Dr. Duncan. By the ac counts in the papers there was a good deal of excitement on the subject, and fears were entertained that another Charlestown scrape would be the result." Such is popery in the land of liberty! When we call to mind that the Roman catholics of the United States are chiefly Irish, or of Irish descent, we see what these persons would. do in England if they had the power. In America a free citizen is ordered to uncover his head, in the open streets, to a vular priest who'is called a "bishop." This is certainly "going the whole hog." Englishmen would be compelled to undergo the same humiliations if they were to give further power to the bigots of the Romish church in Ireland. It is a comical kind of freedom in a free republic which insists upon a senator taking off his bat to a walking juggler; and it is a particular sort of liberty which kicks and bruises the said senator for 'refusing to obey the insolent order. If these tricks are to be tolerated, America is even a worse country than we suspected, and will be the most enslaved and degraded one on the face of the earth. LIVERPOOL POLICE REPORT. FRlDAY.—Before the MAYOR and Alderman P. BOURNE. ROBBERY FROM A. SHOP.--- . -A young man of respectable ap pearance, named Wolf Rees, was charged with stealing a quan tity of pencil cases, the property of Messrs. Kendall, fancy ware dealers in Lord-street. _ _ _ W. H. Brocksop stated that he was in the employ . of Mr. Kendall. He had on Thursday been cleaning some silver pen cil.cases, and, having done so, put them aside into one of the glass cases in the shop. Prisoner came in and purchased some steel pens. Witness went to the cash-clerk fur some change for him, leaving him standing by the counter. The moment prisoner quitted the shop witness missed the pencil-cases, and gave the alarm. The police were set "on the look-out" for prisoner; and, while they were looking for him, he, instead of making himself scarce, returned to the shop; he was kept in chat while a policeman was sent for, who apprehended him there and then, much to his surprise. On his person were found the duplicates for six pencil-cases, which he had pledged for six shillings. The selling value of each case was 2s. 9d. Elliot, the constable who apprehended the prisoner, stated that he denied the theft, saying that he had purchased the pen cil-cases last Tuesday. s The prisoner said he had;dealt at Mr. Kendall's for eivhteen months, and purchased pens and pencils from him at various times. It was true that he had stolen the pencil:-cases in ques tion, but he pledged his veracity that it was the tirst accident of the sort which had ever befallen him.—Cointnitted for trial. BRUTAL ASSAULT.—A ruffianly fellow, named Peter Disley, was brought up on a warrant charging him with assaulting Win. Henry Woods, the son of a marine storekeeper in Tithebi, street. The complainant's father said that he had desirilllM son, when persons brought anything for sale to the shop in wit ness's absence, strictly to interrogate them, and if necessary to detain them. Witness was out on the previous dav, and the prisoner came to offer'a brass stand for sale, and on being asked by the lad how he became possessed of it, the prisoner fitted the stand, and Struck him severely on the head. The complainant corroborated his father's statement, and the prisoner was fined 'ls. and costs, Alderman Bourne informing him, that had he not understood him to have a wife and six children he would have fined him £5. _ _ _ Saruttnay.—Before the MAYOR and Alderman P. BOURNE SCARCITY OF ROGUES.—The magistrates to-day had little business to transact, owing to an unusual scarcity of rogues "in the bridewells. The charges were fewer in number than has been the case for some time back, and not a single prisoner was sent to Bridewell. _ YESTERDAY.—(Before the MAYOR and Sir Tnos.BRANCKER.) ROBBERY IN MA sscisasTka.—A cadaverous looking foreigner, said to be a Spaniard, respectably attired, calling himself Josias de San Martin Suche, was brought before Sir Thomas Braucker in the private room, charged on suspicion of having committed a serious robbery at the Royal Hotel, in Manchester. From the evidence of 'James Sorley, one of the Manchester police officers it appeared that the prisoner and another foreigner were staying at the above hotel on Saturday night last, where they slept. On the Sunday morning a gentleman, named Taylor, of London, who sle . pt in an adjoining room to the prisoner's, dis covered that in'the course of the night some person had entered his bed-room, opmehl his portmanteau, and stole therefrom sixty three sovereigns. The prisoner and his friend having left the hotel suddenly foi,tiverpool, suspicion tell upon him, and Sot ley, the officer, was'dispatched.in pursuit. After a search through the principal inns, the prisoner was found at the Angel Inn, in Dale-street. When taken into custody he pretended to have no knowledge of the English language; but it was stated that during his sojourn at the Royal Hotel, Manchester, he spoke English very well. These circumstances having been stated, the officer applied for leave'to take the prisoner before the Man chester magistrates, which was granted. The police are on the look-out fur the prisoner's friend, and there is every reason to suppose, from a clue they have received, that he will be aopre henaed. The prisoner, on arriving at the hotel here, said that -he was direct from London. A hungry looking thief, well-known to the police, named James Carney, was charged with stealing a fine piece of beef, the property of a butcher, in Pitt-street. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner was anxious to treat himself to a sub stantial " tuck-out" on the Sunday, and not having the need ful to obtain one legitimately, he sneaked up to the complainant's shop, grappled with the beef, and succeeded in taking it. Whilst bearing off the prize, as the prisoner thought in triumph, a young lad observed his movements, and called out "'Butcher, •take stock of your beef." The prisoner, who had proceeded about twenty yards from the shop, on hearing this returned and placed the beef on the counter again, saying Ihat he had only taken it in a lark. The hotelier could not comprehend the lark, and gave the prisoner into custody. The prisoner, in his de fence, persisted in urging that the whole affair was a joke, and said that hail be stole a piece of beef he could never have looked a cow in the face. Unfortunately he was recognized by the police as an old offender, and the magistrates committed him for trial. _ _ JUVeNILE DEiINQUENTS.—Four disorderly girls, not more than 13 or 14 years old each and two lads about the same age, who live by robbery, were remanded on a charge of house rob bery, and of picking a gentleman's pocket of his watch. THE LIVERPOOL MEDICAL INSTITUTION. To those who have watched the increase of literary and scien tific institutions in this town it must be a matter of surprise that we do not possess one devoted to the sciences connects d with the various branches of the medical profession. Au attempt, however, is now making to supply this deficiency, which we hope will be successful. In order to further the views of the Liverpool medical prac titioners the Corporation has, with its accustomed liberality and anxiety for the promotion of all objects of a beneficial tendency, granted a piece of land in Duke-street for the site of a building to be erected for the purpose of forming a " Medical Institu tion." The objects contemplated by its founders are thus de scribed in a circular signed by Dr. Rutter, the treasurer pro tem.:- 1. For the reception and preservation of the medical library, which has existed for upwards of halt a century, and has now increased to such a magnitude as to he of very great value to the profession. During the period above mentioned it has been requisite several times to remove the library from one place to another, and the committee of the library have sometimes en countered considerable difficulty in finding a proper place for its reception. 2. For' holding general meetings of professional men, for meetings of medical societies, and for the occasional delivery of lectures. 3. For a pathological museum. 4. For the residence of a librarian. These are, and have been from the first, the only objects and purposes intended by the erection of such a building, and it is not now, nor ever has been, the intention of those who proposed this plan to establish anything resembling a College of Medi cine in Liverpool. The funds of the Medical Library Society applicable to the purposes of the proposed institution amount, we understand, to about £BOO. They have recently been further increased by a munificent donation of £3OO from Dr. Rutter, who has inti mated his readiness to add another, of considerable amount, provided his efforts, and those of his professional brethren in furtherance of this object, be seconded by the gentlemen of the town who are usually foremost in the support of works of general or local utility. The sum required over and above what has already been subscribed will not exceed £2OOO. The advantages of an institution calculated to promote the successful study of the healing art are too obvious to require any very lengthened argument in its support. In the establishment of a succession of well educated medical practitioners the whole community, without reference to sect in religion or party in po litics, is deeply interested. We have. therefore, great pleasure in recommending the Liverpool Medical Institution to the at- ITTEinP. nr. ACCIDENT TO TWO STE:UV! VESSELS.-LOSS OF LIFE. On Friday last an inquisition was taken before Mr. Pow nall, one of the bailiffs and coroner for the borough, on view of the body of James Bourne, a boy of fifteen years of age, who met with his death by two steam vessels unfortunately coming in contact.—lt appears that on Wednesday night, about ten o'clock, the Queen of the Isle, steamer, outward bound for the Isle of Mau, came in contact with the Irishman, steamer, in ward bound from Drogheda. The accident took place about two miles from the Rock-perch - Lighthouse. Both vessels had lights up at the time, and the people on board of both state, that they took the usual precautions to prevent them from com ing in contact. The precautions failed, however. A dreadful concussion ensued. The Queen of the Isle struck the Irishman just before the paiidle-box, carried away the houses on the deck, the paddle-beam, and engine, and caused much damage on board the vessel. The cook-house, which is immediately be fore the paddle-box was smashed to pieces, and the cook, James Bourne, killed on the spot, and the leg and the thigh of a pas senger were broken. Ihe Irishman, though seriously damaged in her upper works, did not make any water. The Queen of the Isle took her in tow and brought her into port in safety. Captain Heaney, of the Irishman, and several of the crew were examined touching the deceased's death, and the cause which unfortunately produced it. They were also cross-ex amined on the part of Captain Quayle, of the Queen of the Isle, for the purpose of eliciting that the fatal accident had not been caused by . any culpable neglect on his part. Whilst the wit nesses maintained, that every thing had been done to keep the Irishman clear of the Queen of the Isle, they seemed to think that the same exertion had not been made to keep the Queen of the Isle clear of the Irishman. Captain Heaney said that, having starboarded his helm, and finding that his vessel did not get much out of the way of the one of which he had seen the light, he ordered it to be put hard a-starboard, and immediately stopped his engines. Witnesses were then examined on behalf of Captain Quayle. Their evidence went to show; that, as soon as the light of the Irishman had been seen, the usual precautions were taken to keep the two vessels clear of each other, the engines having been stopped, and the helm put hard a-starboard, in which state it was when the Queen of the Isle struck the Irishman. The witnesses seemed to think, that if the Irishman had held on her course as when they first saw her, she would have passed a quarter of a mile on the larboard how of the Queen of the Isle. Six minutes night have elapsed from' the time the light was descried until the two vessels struck. When first seen, the Irishman was, according to the steersman of the Queen of the Isle, about a point on the latter's larboard cat-head. As she neared Captain'Quayle ordered him to port his helm a little; and two or three minutes must have elapsed from the time he ported the'heln and the strikinc , of the steamers. The engi neer deposed, that, seeing the Irishman alter her course, and apprehending danger, he went below, and immediately after wards received orders to stop the engine, which he had effected about a minute and a half before the vessels struck. He•was then ordered to reverse the Queen of the Isle, but the vessel • would not reverse in consequence of his having stopped her so instantaneously. He was sure the paddle-wheels were not go ing when the vessels struck. Mr. M`Bride, the Master of the Clarence Dock, bore evidence to the sobriety of Captain Quayle on leaving the dock and to his skill as a commander. The jury retired, and, after consulting about ten minutes, re turned a verdict of Accidental Death, and laying a deodand of PlO ou the Queen of the Isle. We feel an extraordinary degree of pleasure in giving in• sertion to tie following document, signed by the principal passengers on board, when the accident occurred :—"llfalia's Tale, at Sea, March 26, 1835. We, the undersigned, who were cabin passengers on board the Queen of the Isle, do certify, that the accident which happened between the Queen of the Isle and the sie•imer Irishman, near the Rock Light, at the entrance of the river Mersey, on the evening of the 25th instant, did not occur in consequence of any neglect or mis management of Captain Quayle, of the Queen of the Isle, but was occasioned by the steamer Irishman altering tier course, and running across the bows of the Queen of the Isle, when there was neither room nor time for the Queen of the Isle to clear the Irishman.—Peter Tessier, master mariner, London; B.

Sia,-4laving seen the truth of a paragraph with which I some time since furnished you, respecting the pope's visit to Ireland, questioned in a Dublin newspaper, the Evening Post, I think, and in another paper, the Freeman's Journal, flatly denied, 1 beg distinctly to state to you that the onus of the untruth does not rest on me; and I again repeat that I, no matter how, got a peep at a letter from " James Tuatii,” addressed to a friend of his in Liverpool, and extracted from it, word for word, the pa ragraph as published by you. Had the letter been a sufficient timein my possession I should have copied the whole of it, but this not being the case I extract ed only that part which I conceived to be the most important. But, now that the Dublin papers have had the effrontery to con tradict the truth of my communication, 1 beg leave to furnish you with the substance of what Mr. M'Hale also wrote to his "friend," which was to the effect—that the said visit was earnestly solicited by a leading member of the late administra tion, and that, although a change had taken place in his majes ty's councils, vet his holiness did not see that that circumstance should cause him to depart front his first resolution, which was, to accept the invitation. At the same time, Dr. WHale ventured his own modest opinion on the matter. Ile nearly, so far as my recollection serves me, expressed himself in words as follows : " I feel convinced that ere his holiness sets foot on our shores the good cause will be triumphant, that the protestant usurpers (usuapatts was his word) will be replaced by men who know the true interests of the country, and amongst whom must be the ever-glorious O'Connell." Let Mr. M'Hale deny this if he can. He may jesuitically say it is untrue, hut can he say he did not write a letter such as "I have stated he did? If untrue, pray who is the author of the untruth? Why, the doctor himself!- 1 am, sir, one who, though not of your politics vet A CONS.FANT politics, OF YOUR PAPER. THE LAW op LIBEL.-10 our assize reports the reader will discover another specimen of the liberality of the radical school. Mr. Edmund Grundy—the disciple of Cobbett and friend of the people—availing himself of the cruel power at present conceded against the press by the libel law, having been assailed in a squib, which was perfectly innocuous and fair.as an electioneer ing weapon, has commenced his action a:.:ainst—nut the author, though he was generally known—but thv unfortunate printer, a min (we presume) in humble life and small means, whose only offence was that he printed and published the offensive docu ment. Fortunately, however, the merits of the case were ad judicated by twelve men who knew the value of an unshackled press, and it is very probable that instead of gaining, Mr. Grundy may be "out of pocke " by his motion. We hope that. t he lesson may not be thrown away.—Ma nchester uniele. INTERESTING AND MELANCHOLY NARRATIVE. The fallowing, melancholy narrative of the privations and sufferings of Lieutenant Harmer, sad a boat's crew of his majesty's ship*Sparrowhawk, Captain Pearson, will be read with much interest . " Whilst the Sparrowhawk was lyiag in August last at Port Louis, one of the Falkland Isles, an account was brought that part of the crew of the brig • Mars, of London, from Van Die tuan's Land, homeward boated, were ina boat in the neighbour hood, unable to make any farther exertion to reach the port, and had left four of their comrades of a distant island, being prevented taking them on board by tle small size of the boat. Lieutenant .Harmer (the senior lieutetant), with Mr.' Haves, midshipman, and four seamen, volunteered to go in search of these suffering people iu this dreadful and severe climate, and accordingly they left the Sparrowbawk in Port Louis, Berke ley sound, on the 6th of September last, lu a small se a ling boat. In fifteen days, after enduring great hardships from the storms and cold weather, they reached atepot.on the mainland, whence they imagined they might discover the position of the island they were in search of; and accordingly Lieutenant Har mer, Mr. Hayes, and two seamen, landec with a spy-glass and compass to reconnoitre and survey, leaving two men to take care of the boat. But horrible to relate, from the inattention of one of these men, the boat was allowed to get adrift to sea with only one man in her. In a short time the poor fellow in the boat was observed to be doing his best to bring her back under sail; but he upset her, and was shortly after seen to be swept from the wreck. Who shall represent the feelings of those on shore, without. the means of sustdning life, and cut off from every resource, not having any means of making fire, and provided with nothing but three knives, every thing having been left in the boat! However, on the Tst of September, they pushed on for the settlement, at Berkeley Sound, distant, as they supposed about one hundred miles—tie country moun tainous aud swampy, and the cold intense, so much so that their clothes adhered to each other when huddled together for the night. On the ZI of October one man could go no farther, and Lieutenant Harmer remained with him. Mr. Hayes and three others went on; hut in a short time one of them returned, not having power to go any farther. They had nothing to. support life, but occasionally dead birds which they found, and limpets. Once they caught a cal, and another time they found a goose's nest with five eggs. On the 15th of October, Lieutenant Harmer and his two comrades reached Salvador Bay, where the Sparrow hawk boat was discovered, she having been despatched on the arrival of Mr. Haves and one man at the settlement after almost unheard of puivation— their lives having been preserved at the expense of one of their companions, who, unable to keep with them from being utterly reduced, was sacrificed for the support of the others." But fur this dreadful alternative they, would never have reached Port Louis to give the tidings of the dreadful, plight in which Lieut. Harmer and the two men were left. " When-'Mr. Hayes was taken on board the Sparrowhawk, his weight as only seventy pounds, and Lieutenant thriller was found very nearly as much reduced. Air. Hayes was shock ingly frost-bitten; but when the accounts left the Sparrowhawk at Rio Janeiro, on the 15th of November, ail the sufferers were doing well. It to know, th;it tho remain log of the crew of the Ma rs,for whose relief this tinfortuuatt, , exy, pedition under .-Lieut. Harmer Was undertaken, were iniracti lously rescued by an American sealing schooner, and put .ofr board the Sparr6whawk." - There can be no doubt but the Lords of the Admiralty will immediately perform the agreeable duty of rewarding these.un fortunate otficers - and crew for the manner in which they per formed their .duty under such peculiar circumstances. MURDERS BY POISONING. The town of Burnham Market, in Norfolk, and the ,vicinity, _ for some•miles round,. have for the last week been in the most -dreadful state of excitement, caused by the discovery of three diabolical murders which have already been committed, and a plan laid for taking away the lives of several others. The. cir-, cumstance that led to the discovery was as follows:—A woman named Mary Taylor the wife of P. Taylor, a journeyman shoemaker, was taken with a violent retching after dinner dn Thursday the 12th instant, and though medical assistance was procured, she died at five the same afternoon. Mr. Cremer, the surgeon, as soon as - he saw her, pronounced her to have been poisoned. An inquest was held on the body on the .fol lowing Saturday, when the jury, after sitting till eleven at night, adjourned the inquest ti II Monday, and ilea having . no evidence as ti) how the deceased came by the arsenic which had been found in the stomach, returned a verdict to the effect that she died by taking arsenic, hut that it was unknown by what means it was administered. There were certain rumours that the husband of the deceased had been connected with a married woman named Fanny Billing, who lived at the next dour, and this connection seemed to have been a great cause of uneasi ness between Taylor and hiS wife and a weak or two beforelhe' deceased had, it seems, taxed Billing with it. and they had had a quarrel. It was also discevered-that Billing had a short time before bought three pennyworth of arsenic of a druggist. Some flour that was in Taylor's house was also fouud to contain a quantity of arsenic, and from this theileceased had made ,some dumplings on the day she died. These facts coming out, the Magistrates thought proper - to hold a special meeting on the Wednesday, for the further investigation of the matter ' and Taylor and Billing were brought bef o re them, examined, and remanded for further examination. As Billing, however, was going away, a woman living next door, named Frary, who was frequently in and out of Mrs. Taylor's, was beard to say to her, "Maw, hold your own, and thoy can't hurt us." This led to further suspicion, and Frary was apprehended. It was then recollected that Frary's husband, and a child they keut, died about a fortnight before very suddenly Orders were then given to have them disinterred; their stomachs were sent to Norwich to be analysed, and they also were found to contain arsenic. On Tues. ay Billing was fully committed to take her trial for the murder at the forthcoming assizes. She is nearly 50 years old, has had fourteen children, and nine are alive. She has confessed the whole, but says that Frary gave the poison to Mrs. Taylor. She has also confessed to other acts of the same kind with Frary, and that there were several other persons that they bad marked out as their victims. She had made an attempt to poison her husband about the same time, but he did not take suflicent quantity, and recovered. Taylor is still remanded, and Frary has been taken speechless since Tuesday, and can not be recovered. Tne wife of her brother, who lived at Burn ham Overy, died about the same time suddenly, but has not yet .been up. Taylor says he was taken sick on the Thursday with his wife, but that he threw up and got better. Mrs. Frary was sent for to attend on Mrs. Taylor, and a witness by the name of Rowley says, when he Vk as in at Taylor's to be shaved, he saw, Frary, in making her sonic gruel, put something into it from a paper on the point of a knife, white, almost like flower, so that in all probability, to make assurance doubly sure,. she poi r . soned also her gruel. It was too the merest wonder in the world the poisoned flour (forit had not then been found to be poisoned) was not taken to provide for the funeral—indeed this seems to have been anticipated by the wretches, and then the whole family would have been their victims; but the management was fortu nately taken out of Frary's hands, and the flour providentially unused. Taylor has borne a good character for many years until he got connected with this woman. His wife was a very-- industrious person, and although they hal no family they had lived very comfortably together. She was .17 of age, and he is about the same. , • THE EXTENSIVE FORGERY IN THE CITY. The name of the principal engaged in the late ektensive . for gery in the city is Christopher Charles Foster, and the extent to which he has succeeded in defrauding his friends, and,those who Odd reposed confidence in his integrity, is, it is said, far, beyond that at which it had been stated—namely, £20,0011 His uncle, whose business, as well as the greater portion of his pro perty, he would, in all human probability, in a few years have succeeded to, and a distinguished capitalist in the city, will be the principal sufferers ; but there are others to whom he (Foster) was personally known, from whom he had borrowed various sums of money, and who will, in the event of his nut being taken into custody, be the losers. Lea, the officer employed.by the sufferers, has been most in defatigable in his exertions to trace out some clue to the retreat of the delinquent, his brother, and a third person (a lawyer's clerk) who went with him; but as yet he has not been able to ascertain much, beyond his lea.ving his residence at Woodford bridge, in Essex, on the morning of Sunday'week, taking with him a quantity of luggage; since-.which time be has not been seen there, or at any of his usual haunts in town. A few .drays afterwards, a young female, with whom he lived fur upwards ,of two years past, though he had a wife and four children, moved away the furniture, &c. to a house in Islington, and claims 'it, as well as a quantity of plate, &c. as her own. This property, it is said, as well as a large sum of money, he settled on herand her child, though he has left his wife and children destitute. • A report was current yesterday, that be had been apprehended in Ireland; but this appears extremely doubtful, as it is ge,ner ellv believed that his object was to get to America, and that he hail sailed by the Ontario packet, which left the Loudon Dock, oil Saturday week, and sailed from Portsmouth about the Middle of last week. On the night of Saturday week he placed £13,000 in cash and bank notes in the hands of a respectahl; publican in the city, to keep for hint until the following morning, when he called for it, and took the whole away. In the printed hand-bills which are circulated, and in which a reward of £250 is offered for the apprehension of the parties, it is stated thdt a man named Iludsoi, who was groom to Foster, had absconded with his master. Tins, however, is not the case, nor does he appear to have the slightest participation in the guilt of his employer. THE RICHES OF THE!.ESTABLISHED • CHURCH. 1. Only about two-thirds of the laud in England and Wales are titbeable.-2. Laymen have one-third of the whole of the tithes.-3. The .whole tithe paid to the clergy when wheat was £3.185. 2d. per quarter—(far higher than it is now)—amounted to £1.426,7r:7 18s., or less than a miliiod and a half.-4. If the tithes were.equally,divi4ed, each.parish clergyman would have; according to the present price of wheat, £l5O a-year.-5. There are in . England and Wales 176 living under' £3O a-year, 736 under £5O a-year, 1315 under £BO a-year, 1963 undii £lOO a-year—i. e., 4190 under £lOO a-year; and not 30 Worili £2000" a-Vear.-6. There are 4809 where there is no house for the clergyman, and of these 3080 are under . £lso a-year. Can the :clergyman build a house when he does nut receive £l5O a-year froni the living? All.the houses are kept in repair by th e cler •gy.nen. At this very time £220,0 0 0 have been burrowed by, clergymen to build or rebuild parsonage-houses.-7: l'h e f ees to the clergy in country parishes vary from. £3 to £7 ;on• every 1000 persons of populatiod.—Most of the fees do not . o to the clergy, but are given to clerks and other officers.-8. Only 11 bishoprics pay their expenses ! and from three of these the sub scriptions they are obliged to pay are £3OOO a-year each.-9. If the income of the parochial clergy, and of the bishops, and the cathedral property were .equally :divided among the parochial clergy, it would barely give £2OO to each, and nut of this they would have to pay curates in large parishes. These facts, it should be remembered, are taken from docu ments laid before parliament by the enemies, by those who complain of being heavily. taxed to support a rich 'and idle church. The money annually paid into the exchequer on account of the snuff and tobacco duties exceeds the WHOLE ItLYUNUE of the church establishment !—Front a few Facts addressed to all honest returners. • FlRE.—Last night, about eleven o'clock, a fire bisoke out on the premises of a furniture-dealer, in Park-lane.

All the interests of the province, with the exception of the coast fisheries, are represented in the governor's speech as being in a flourishing condition. The Assembly of Nova Scotia has decided against adopting his excellency's proposal for a more beneficial method of appro priating road-money. The population of New Brunswick, according to the last census, amounts 118,902. . . The casual tevenue of New Brunswick; for the year 1831, amounted to £19,000, one-third of the whole having been pro duced by the sales of crown lands. There were sold altogether 40,000 acres, so that the average 'nice per acre must have been about 3s. 2d. The number of purchasers was 231, so that each individual, on an average, must have had rather more than 173 acres. Had the legislature purchased the casual revenue on tile terms proposed last year by the Secretary of State, the pro vince would have netted £5OOO during the past year by the transaction. The government, it is said, will not again repeat its offer. _ _ The man, Lawrence, who attempted to assassinate General Jackson, has been declared to be insane by two physicians.
