thir readers th►oughout ii;;cliaWillrive with an universal senti-
nut of grief the intelligence that the earthly career dour beloved
and rented Ilkhop terminated at Trichinopoly on the morning of
Monday the 341 inatant (April). Hia Lordship had reached that
pl,:e on Saturday morning, and on the following day hod preached,
and held a confirmation in the evening: after which he delivered
wilds disrotirae, concluding with a solemn and affecting farewell
to the congregation. . _ _

On Monday, at an early hour, his Lordship visited a congrega-
ton cf Native Christians, and, on his return, went into a bath, as
he had done on the neeceding days. He was there seized with
an &triplet-tic tit : sad w en his servant, alarmed at the length of

It is stated in the British Press that the intelligence of
the saccess of Sir A. Campbell in Ava, received by way of
the United States, was first announced in that paper. We
do not doubt the assertion, though we have not at present
the means of ascertaining it ; but the intelligence in question
must have been placed among some. American extracts,
where it escaped us, as well as others of our contemporaries.

A Morning Paper exhibits an amusing instance of the
discrepancy which so often exists between precept ari
prsctice. In an article of some length it inveighs bitterly
*ant several of its contemporaries, for adopting its intel-
h;ence without noticing the Paper from which they de-
r.sol it; and, side by side with this remonstrance, we find
the news from India, which we gave exclusively last
night, inserted without acknowledgnrient. " Yes, ma'am,"

Miewrz, Aug. 15.—Ilis Highness Prince Metternich
arrived at Joh.ennisherg on the 12th inst. Since the arrival
of the Prince, the splendid equipages and the many per-
sons of distinction, who arrive from all quarters, have
given to this country seat the appearance of a royal real-
m-ace. Among the reports relative to the subjects that
may perhaps he discussed there, none appear to deserve
relit except that a reso!ution may probably he taken con-

of the Commission of the Navigation of the Rhine have
had the honour of paying their respects to his Highness.
NAVAL WA *FA IL L.—STOCKHOLM, Ave. 11.—Among
the objects of the last mentioned expedition, it was pro-
posed to make experiments of the comparative advantages
of employing gan-boats, or little armed yolks, in a sea fight.
Th: result of these experiments was, that it was possible
by means of oars to make gun-boats move along as fast as
the yolks. From the nature of these little Istunlis, which
are scarce any thing but a floating gun-carriage, the fire
mast lit were rapid than that of boats. Yet the difference
of both in a given time was only 20 per minute, the gun-
ingt bavkg Creel GO shots in that time, and the yolk
