The Courier of yesterdsfAn republishing the Report
of the proceedings of the Afarineni' Church Society at
Liverpool, which appeared in our Paper of last Saturday
week, makes the following observations
We own, it does appear to us She strangest anomaly lawn'.
loofas, that they who would wish every man on land to hear the
word of truth, and diligently to pmethe the duties enjoined by
Christianity, should consider our seamen unfit for the same moral
discipline. Are the latter, es necessitate,'" prosmibed and repro.
bats class—cut off' from all religious communion, as if to be reli-
gious would disqualify them from their calling 2"
If it were not very common to find persons, otherwise of
good understanding, occasionally guilty as well of misre-
presentation as of mistake, we should be surprised at a re-
spectable Journalist going out of his way to make a com-
ment that does not bear upon the subject, and which has
very much the fir of wilful misconstruction,.
We will expose it once for all, in a very few words, and
we will take pains to do so, because we find it resorted to
by many who ought to know better—and who we suspect
* know better—but that it answers their purpose in the
Sly of defence, in the absence of all rational vindi-
Winn. The fallacy is this, when you point out the great
danger that threatens this kingdom from the rapid
spread of Methudisin in the British navy, and the
alarming change which the character of our seamen is
fast undergoing, from the fanatical preachers who are per-
petually drawing them, one after another, into their gloomy
and insane circle, you are replied to by an affected air of
surprise, that you should consider religion as useless or
dangerous to sailors ! as if you had objected to their mental
mid moral improvement, and were utterly Indifferent to
their condition either in this life or the life to come. All
this is wilful perversion.
With respect to the " EPISCOPAL FLOATING CHURCH
Soetxxv," looking to the strong countenance which it re-
ceives from the leading party among the Methodists, and
casting our eye over the names of the persons—aliens from
the Church—who compose its Committee, and who will in-
fallibly assume, in time, the whole direction, as to the
management of the funds and to the appointment of the
Ministers—how far a Society, assuming this imposing
title, anti constituted as this Society—according to its
prospectus—is to be constituted—is consistent with sound
policy

u it affects either the State or the Church as by
law Established, is a matter which we leave to be con-
sidered by those whom it moat behoves to look to it. For
ourselves, we confess, we are not friendly to floating
chapels; neither do we think it wise, in the way of ex-
ample, to follow in the wake of the Bethel flag. To
serarate Sailors from the rest of the community, and
to organize them iuto a distinct cla-s, from whatever
motives it may be done, is a proceeding full of danger. In
no quarter of society is it so dangerous as in the nary. If
it be true !hat there is at present no adequate accommoda-
tion for sailors in our places of worship, let such accomme.
dation be provided ; but do not let it be provided in the
spirit of exelnrion. Give them the means of meeting in the
same temple of devotion where others meet; let them not
be made to assemble as a class divorced, by the nature of
their profession, from the rest of their fellow-subjects;
give them the same benefit of an established ministry that
you extend to the rest of the kingdom ; and do not, by
consigning them to floating churches, make them feel as if
they were outcasts from the land. If they are to devote
Iva -

ything dear to life, and life itself, to the service of
their country, they ought in justice to be received into its
closest communion in all things that regards their true
interests, ■nd not be severed—even in appearance—from
the body of the National Church.

CITY, TUESDAY EYZEINCI.

The gloom which spread itself over the Consols Market
at the latter part of yesterday, chiefly, we believe, in con-
sequence of the failure of 4r. Williams's house, continued
throughout this morning. Very few transactions were
completed, and nom of them were to a large amount. The
price wig 87# all day, with ststezly any variation. Ex-
'chequer Bills were at par to is. premium.
The Foreign Market sympathised, as it generally does,
with the British Funds, and appeared under great depres-
sion. Greek Bonds were 29/, and Old Spanish ditto 17g.
, South American Securities were also held heavily. Co-
lombian Bonds at ; Mexican at 81 8 discount; Gua-
temala ditto at 31 4i discount ; Brazilian ditto at S dis-
count ; and Danish Bonds at 664 7.
The share Market was in a dormant state, and so it must
continue until it shakes off all the worthless companies
which oppress it like a night-mare, and which for the most
part brave been formed only for the purpose of putting ino-
ney into the pockets of a fcw needy and unprincipled ad-
venturers. We trect that those who may have been duped
by these dishonest schemes, will not cease to call for a full
statement of the affairs of each of them. The bubbles will
then become fully apparent, and will leave full scope for
the sound and thriving spect.lations to render manifest their
real va!ue. There were some bargains done in Anglc-

n;

that city to the 6th October. They speak of the great

will be brought to the happiest termination.

An artieht from Iliad& attributes to treachery the de-
fection of tbo ships Asia and Constance, which come time
ago way mareniletird to the Mexican Government. It
states that the seeped is commit: I, Martinez, was a man
known for his attaches/Art to the Cortes, but whom Ferdi-
! nand, nevertheless, pardoned, and continued in the com-
mand of his vessel. The consequence was, Martinez mu-
tinied against his Commanding Officer, made him a pri-
soner, forced him In undergo a mock trial, and then mur-
dered him I We fruit, for the sake of humanity, that this
is false.

A Paris letter mentions that the bidding on the Haytian

A letter, dated Marseilles, the 10th inst. and published
in a Brussels paper, Sates that a brig, lately arrived at that
port from Akzandria, has brought the French General
Linen, who is still in the service of the Pacha of Egypt.
The General brings the ratification of a contract, by which
a house at Marseilles has engaged to build for the Pacha
two frigates, each carrying 60 guns. The house in ques-
tion are authorized to employ the shipwrights and maga-
zines of the Government, at fixed prices, and make use of
the talents of one of the naval architectsof theetuvernment,

who will come from Toulon for the purpose. The building
of a third ship,* corvette of 24 guns, is given up for want
of timbee. The trench merchants are not without fear
that this may expose their vessels to the same depredations
from the Greeks as are suffered by the Austrians.
Letters were yesterday received from Smyrna, of so late
a date as the 27th ult. (received through Genoa). They
state that the Turkish Government had prohibited the ex-
port of silk ; the letters give rather a ridiculous reason for
this unexpected measure, viz. that it is intended to distress
the manufacturers of England, in retaliation for the assist-
ance given to the Greeks. The report of Lord ICochrane
being about to sail for Creece had reached bmyrna ; It had
produced a great sensation.
The Dutch papers mention that the KingoftheNetberlands
has named M. Sandberg, President of the Second Chambe,
of the States General for the present Session. The Cham-
ber having commenced its Sitting, received some Messages
from his Majesty, relarive to the Introduction of a new
gold coin, of the value of five florins, and one with a re-
vised project of Law for the Ist and 2d Books of the Code
of Commerce.
Accounts from St. Petersburgh state, that the new com-
mercial treaty with Russia and Prussia has led to consi-
derable changes in the custom-houses on the Baltic, and
in Lithuania ; those at Polangen and Jurburg are made
custom-houses of the first clasa, and the depots at Kiew and
Wane entirely abolished. On the Ist of this month a new
ship of the line was launched near the Admiralty dock-
yards, at St. Petersburgh; it is called the Hango-udd,
' and carries 84 guns. It is the first ship built in Russia un
the plan of Sir R. Seppings.
Accounts from Singapore, received yesterday, state the
loss by fire of the country ship Horatio at that port. She
was blown up. The Captain was the only person whose
life was saved.—X easing Paper.
Despatches base been received, at the Colonial Office,
from Lieutenant-General Sir G. L. Cole, G.C.B. at the

The priest of a smell commune in the neighbourhood of
Mons had foibideen his parishioners to dance on Sundays,
as they had been in the habit of doing, threatening that if
they did he would leave the parish. The following Sun-
day they danced as usual. The next morning the priest
left them ; and since that day, now aix weeks alo, the
parish has been without any religious minister. No one
knows what is become of him they have lost.—Brussels
Oracle.

In the north as in the south of France it is still the
custom in several places to treat those who contract a
second marriage with what is called a charivari (a kind of
marrow-bone and cleavers). This custom lately gave rise
to rather a droll seen- at Aix. The whole of the rough
musicians of that class having collected from all quarters of
the city, opposite the house of a couple just made happy,
began a most harmonious concert, which, however, had not
proceeded long, before the police dispersed the artists.
The din was interrupted, but not put an end to, for the
musicians took refuge on the roofs of the neighbouring
houses, and from that imregnable position regaled the
amorous couple with their aerial concerts for several
evenings.
Yesterday a meeting was held at Green's Hotel, to con-
sider of opening a new street to Lincoln's-Inn-fields from
the Strand. Sir J. Paul, Sir F. Ommanney, Messrs.
Twining, and about sixty gentlemen were present, when a
Committee was formed to mature the plan, which is to be
taken into further consideration on the sth of November
next, at a public meeting, to be held at the Crown and
Anchor Tavern.

The Commissioners of the Breconshire Turnpikes have
determined immediately to proceed in the making of a
new road in lieu of that steep and dangerous descent,
called Bailian Hill, in Cwroydwr, between Ttecastle and
Llandovery, whieh has been so long a cause of complaint
to travellers by coach and otherwise on that road ; and also
to complete the improvements at Bwlch Hill, between Bre-
con and (7rickhowell, both which improvements will tend
to render the road through that country one of the first
mail roads in the kingdom.
The Worcestershire Magistrates have decided that an
apprenticeship does not entitle to the freedom, should the
apprentice, in the course of it, change of follow a different
trade to that to which he was originally bound.
At the Quarter Sessions for the Borough of Beverley,
on Monday last, an indictment was preferred and found
against the Hon. George Berkeley Molyneux (Don of the
Earl of Sefton), a Captain in the 7th Hussars; iVilliarn
Augustus Broadhead, Esq. a Lieutenant ; end John
IVltite, Esq. Cornet in the same regiment, for an assault
upon Nathaniel Dalby, of the Beverley Arens-lim, and
Jane, his wife, on the 26th of September last. The de-
fendants pleaded guilty, and were fined—Captain Moly-
ncux, fifty pounds ; Lieutenant Broadhead twenty pounds;
and Mr. White thirty pounds. Another indictment was
found against Lieutenant Broadhead, Edward White, and
Charles Peckham, Esqrs., for a riot and assault upon the
watchmen or Beverley, on the 6th of October, to which
they pleaded guilty. The Court, in passing sentence, re-
proved the defendants in severe. terms, and fined each of
them in the penalty of forty podritle.—Null Advertiser.
A gentleman in the Bath Herald, with his name and re-
sidence, very public-spiritedly advertises the treatment he
met with from the landlord of the Swan Inn, at lVells,
who first denied that he had any horses in his stable, and
afterwards refused to let him have a pair a stage of twelve
miles only; though be discovered afterwards there were
three pairs in the stable. A few such exposure' as these,
where monopoly exist*, would soon ewe the evil.—Bristol

which the Court of Spain expects. to take place in those countries,
and which would triumphantly 'elute the reports received by the
British Government, that it has been deemed advisable to await the
issue of those events, rather than to oppose assumptions to assump-
tions, or to reason upon probabilities and conjectures. As far as
the event is concerned, however decisive it may appear, the un-
dersigned is charged to confine himself to stating, that it was with
much satisfaction the British Government witnessed it, before it had
made known its intentions to the other countries of South America,
because it was not then possible that those intentions could have the
slightest effect upon the war in Peru.
` The undersigned is charged to make only this observation upon
that part of .51. Zea's Note which refers to the supposed inaccuracy
of the feels which served as a basis of the resolution taken by the
lintaor.ie Government.
" The question which remains to beexamined is, whether Great
Britain., in negotiating with governments established de facto and
Secure Ros foreign invasion, is violating any principle of the rights
of nations Or any positive convention. To commence with the
latter of these points, u being till principal accusation against us,

This Treaty was concluded at the commencement of the
struggle of Spain against France, and was entirely directed to
meet existing circumstances, being conceived in terms which it is
impossible to misinterpret; it was a treaty of peace for the purpose
pitying an end to the war which had subsisted between France and
Spain since 1801. It is expressly designated, in the first article, as
• rusty of Alliance during the War, in which we were at that
time implicated, in common with Spain. All the stipulations of
the Treaty had evident tolerance to the declared resolution of the
French Ruler. that he would maintain a branch of his family upon
the Throne of Spain sad of both the Indies, and we were bound
indubitably not to lay down our arms until his projects against
Spain bad failed, and his pretensions in regard to America had
been abandoned; obligations of which England, as no one can
deny, has fully acquitted herself. This end once attained, the
conditions of the treaty were fulfilled, and the obligations which it
imposed necessarily ceased with the object to which they bore re-
ference."
