r!,',iging them to pursue to death this unhappy, unfortunate
man, it i 4 o Vain that in every case the same course has not

go a person of the name ot` Grove was taken up for forging
%sea of the 'talk of Briglawd, at Birmingham : the not, a
ared Plates from which they were struck were found upon
him; and he had such link hope of escape, that e:11, te
issugbt up to plead at the Warwick Assivs, he pleaded
; nor could all the persuasion of the Judge pre-
nil upon him to alter his plea. He was accordingly
patenced to the, and conveyed to a condemned cell. In
kw than eigla hours after his condemnation he was re-
seed to another cell ; and having been rispited front
:be awful punishment of death, be was ultimately seat to
rust Bay for On his voyage he met with great in-
*ropes. An w Governor having been appointed to that
element, Grove was allowed to go with him, in a vessel
Oar. All this accommodation was not rendered in con-
mance of any solicitation on the part of the convict or
am of his friends, but, strange as it may batat the re-
qtaw of the liade Englund, which no doubt weighty

It is reported that President Monroe, in his Message to

The Spanish Generals, Cantarac and Valdez, have di tinet

&Eldon to the other. This circumstance is, of course,
heianble to Bolivar. The Spanish privateer Quintanella

C.IRLOW BIBLE SOCIETY.

Another stormy Bible discussion has taken place in Ireland. A
debate at three days' continuance was carried on at Carlow, bet ween
the Boman Catholics and the advocates of the circulation of the
Scriptures. . .

Go the second day., an Irish paper says—
The Rev. Mr. 111•SwEestv closed the discussion. He said,
the gentlemen at the other side have challenged us to &contest with
them in Goblin, er somewhere else //ere 1 d'7l, and decirk
the bNable" u'dh the re/safe of them, or any use t f Meet, on this
spit. I promise you I will not take ten minutes to put an end to
the controversy. (Much noise—some calling order, others voci.
" Hear him, hear hint.")
Atter some remarks, which we could not catch, from the growing
confusion of the place,
Mr. 3I•Swr.EN directed the attention of the Meeting to the
text, " Pater mains tote eat"—" The Father is greater thin I am,"
and he challenged all or any of the gentlemen oppo•eil to hint, to
prove against him the Divinity of Jesus Christ, in case he should
personate • Socinian.
Mr. Fora rose—accepted Mr. M'Swc:ny's challenge, and pro-
ceeded to show, that Christ, in the passage referred to, acknow-
ledged the superiority of the Father, only in regard of Ilia
humanity.
Mr. .111`SwEEstY—That will not do, Sir; you have proved
nothing. You have given an explanation that may satisfy your.
*elf, of there being nothing in the passage inconsistent with the
equality of Christ with the Father. considered as to his divine
nature. Now pray, Sir, as it is a principle which you profess to
believe, that every one is competent to judge of the meaning of the
Scripture. should I interpret that •text as implying that Christ was
really, and in every respect superior to the Father. why should you
contradict my opinion ? According to yourself; I have a right to
draw my own conclusions front the perusal of the Seriptores; and
not only that, but I am as good a judge of them as you are. (If
course, then, you, possessing your Biblical principles, that every
one can judge of the sense of the Sacred Scriptures, cannot prove
against me the divinity of Jesus Christ, nor can you accuse ine of
error in denying it!
Rev. Mr. PoPF:—Did I not prove it already?
Mr. 11':stet:Env—No, Sir, I need only appeal to the intelligence
of the Chair, to pronounce that you did not.
The CHAIRMAN would not interfere, on the ground that he was
not there to decide between the parties. (You have not Answered
Mr. 31•Sweeny, resounded through the me,ting.)
Mr. POPE —1 will answer I' in writing to-morrow, or some
other time. (Now, now, from the meeting.)
Rev. Mr. DALY—As the Gentleman proposed us a question, Is
it not fr.ir that we should propose him another?
Rev. Mr. :11'SwEenv—I am not here on the defensive, an I
tame to this Meeting to oppose the principlis of the Bible So-
ciety. I am not obliged to answer you, but you are obliged to
answer me. However, I pledge myself, that when you will have
answered my one question, I will answer every possible one of
yours. (Frightful uproar.) Mr. 111•Sweeny then thanked the
Chairman for his indulgence, and left the Meeting.

THIRD DAY.
CA■LOW, MONDAY.
The Meeting of the Carlow Auxiliary Bible Society was held
this tiwetionn in the Presbyterian Meeting House; at which, the
Rev. Mr. Pope, in a speech of great eloquence, in support of a re-
solution. addressed the Meeting.
CoL RocurOßT was in the Chair.

—Yesterday morning Mr. Commissioner Harris, and Mr.
Commissioner Law, took their judicial seats for the first
time, in the New Court erected in Portugal-street, Lin-
coln's Inn-fields, where the sittings will hereafter he held.
The internal fittings up of the edifice are extremely con-
venient for all persons who may have business to transact,
and the building reflects credit on Mr. Soane, the architect.
The central situation of the Court will be found very con-
venient to the profession and the public.
Yesterday the prisoners, who stand committed on the
charge of felony, were removed from the several jails in the
City of London and County of Middlesex, to Newgate, pre-
paratory to their standing their trials at the Old Bailey
Sessions, on Thursday nest.

Sessions for Dover, of forging the acceptance of Cox and
Co. to a draft, with intent to defraud I.ieut. George Ver-

for judgment, when sentence of death was recorded against

FERMANAGH FOLIC E.—Extract of a Lt tt r from Tempo,
November 2'. 2 :—" Sir 11. Brooke, Mr. Irvine, and the
Chief Constable of the Police, are to be here at one o'clock
this day, to investigate into the conduct of some of the
police, for an attack upon the Rev. James Kelly, P.P. of
this town. It would appear that they broke into the house
where he lodges, and drew their bayonets upon him, and
said they would drag him out like a dog and tramp upon
him in the street.' The Rev. amtleman was obliged to
fly for Ettniskillen for safety. This county is in a dread-
ful state of agitation."
It is rumountl, that certain circumstances connected with
a recent brutal exhibition at Warwick, have become the
subject of inquiry from superior authority. It has been
stated, that twenty-five constables, each having his staff of
office, attended the exhibition. The. object of the inquiry is,
first as to the privity of the Magistrates, and next whether
the cqnstabies attended gratuitously, or by the order of
any, and what sup rior authority.—Britidt Traveller.
A man was robbed on Monday night, and wounded by a
pistol shot, mar the Trent bridge in the neighbourhood:of
Nottingham.

Friday night last, a dreadful explosion took place in the
Margaret Pit, near Newcastle, which, with others, is com-
prehended under the title of Newbottle Colliery. Eleven
men were killed.

An inquest was held in the parish of Croyland, on view
of the body of William King, a labouring carpenter, who
had been at work at a mill last Sunday, and became so in-
toxicated in the evening, that afti r eating a hearty supper
he was choked. Verdict—" Died by choking and suttb-
cation, being at the time intoxicated from excessive
drinking."
Pen ENTRIANISM.—An extraordinary feat of walking
was pe4ormed at Hull a few days ago, by a native of Cum-
b,:rlantl, only fifteen years of age ; aml a brother of his,
named M`Mulleii, aged eighteen, has since much amused
and astonished the inhabitants of Bingham by his extraor-
dinary speed. On Friday last lie undertook to walk ten
milts in two hours, half the distance backwards, which lie
very easily performed ten minutes within the time. On
Monday lie engaged to walk six miles an,l a half, the half
mile retrograde, in one hour, which lie accomplished three
minutes within the given time ; although at intervals he
seemed to move very leisurely, at others lie went with most
extraordinary swiftness. lie is a very likely, straight
youth, of prepossessing appearance, and genteel eddies'.
lie has off,red a wager, which none seems inclined to ac-
cept, that lie will walk eight miles within an hour !
