From the News Malin iend Description of Cheltenham

WtYMOUTH, SEPT. 20.—We are grieved to state that
al: hopes ate vanished as to the safety of his Majesty's
Post-office packet, Francis Freeling. It is generally stip-
Psied that she was run down at sea by some unknown ship
during the late gale. By this disaster the wives of the
crew, seven in number, together with upwards of thirty
children, are left in the num afflicted state of distress. A
public meeting will he held at the Town-hall on Saturday
next, to devise means to alleviate their present sufferings.
The names of the passengers on board at the time are not
yet all ascertained.—Dm rut Chronicle.
TLALMAHVA 1111:st1NG COMPANY.-A great deal of
curiosity was raised on Thursday afternoon by the appear-
ance, on the Royal Exchange, of a number of men dressed
in the costume worn by German miners, with large blue
mock frocks, and pikes in their hands. %Vs are informed
that these persons, who are really German, have been en-
gaged by the Directors of the Company formed some time
nce for working the mines purchased by the Company in
!uth America. It is said that they have come to London
in order to ratify the terms which they were engaged upon,
ire they proceeded on their voyage across the Alautic.

THE CHL'IICH AND THE WESLEYAN METHODISTS.
The whole of the statements contained in many of the
London and Provincial Newspapers, concerning the pro-
posed changes in the economy and arrangements of the
Wesleyan Methodists, we have the fullest autlmrity to
contradict; and can assure our readers that ai respects
the formation of Bishops amongst themselves, the alien-
' lion in the hours of divine worship, (thereby avoiding
,church h,,urs,) and any coalition with the church, after the
Beverley faction, Sec. are wholly untrue, as time will more
completely prove.—Dec(o6rd Courier.
Bow BEL! s.—The probable fate, or at least future si-
lence, of the celebrated Bow bells, having been the theme
of general conversation in the metropolis, several of the
London newspapers have been led to publish comparative
statements of the weights of bells in different parts of the
kingdom, and by them the palm has been awarded to
York Minster: whereas the fact is well known to be other-
wi:;e—the ring of hells in the south tower of Exeter Ca-'
thedral far exceeding those of York, as the following table
will show :

There is in the same tower another bell, not used in
ringing, a peal on ten, called Pongamouth, weighing
1 lewt. 2711:5. Exeter also possesses one of the largest
bells in the kingdom, the Great Peter bell in the north
tower, weighing 12,5001b5, and surpissing those of St.
l'aul's, Lincoln, and York, which, however, have the ad-
vantage of occasionally opening their brazen throats and
astonishing all within hear-shot by their deep and sonorous
sounds,• whilst ours is condemned to silence, save the
feeble tones hourly emitted by the hammer of the clock
striking on it. Perhaps it is not a little remarkable that,
while Exeter possesses the heaviest ring of bells, it has
also within its walls the lightest pest in the kingdom,
those of St. Petroek's Tower being of the latter descry-
tien.—Ezeter l'aper.
