We have seen a lettecasitten from a native of shit coun-
ty, who accompanies Major Clapperton on his perilous ex-
pedition to Africa. It states that the Brazen reached
Tenerife on the 14th September, and was to sail on the
18th for Sierra Leone, rad not, as has been erroneously
seated, to proceed direct for the Bight of Benin. At that
period Major Clapperton and his adventurous companions
were all in good health and spirits, in the full hope that
they should be able to accomplish the important object
committed to their charge, and solve the geographical pro-
bleb in which the sourpepfd course of the river Niger has
been for ages involved.!— Cornwall Gazette.
DISPUTER OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CLERGY WITH
THE LAITT.—An efibrt was made last week by a number
of the most respectable of the Roman Catholic inhabitants
of the parish of Sonna, to open their chapel for divine wor-
ship on Suutlay last, and succeeded in removing the ob-
structions with which it has been barricaded these several
months. The majority of the parishioners that yet hold
out, determined not to yield until their late pastor, the
late Mr. Duffy, is restored to them, assembled its a large
body on Sunday morning, Toning vengeance against any
priest that would attempt to officiate, and also against the
persons who dared to open the chapel doors. Fortunately
tnformations of their desperate and rash designs were
brought to Thigh M. Tuite, of Sauna, Esq. who immedi-
ately collected the police from the different stations in the
vicinity, and arrived at the chapel in time to rescue the
priest from the hands of a ruthless mob, and to protect
I those of the parishioners who were in the interior of the
chapel from violence or perhaps murder: The clergyman
,deputed by the Bishop (the Rev. Mr. Mullen). succeeded
in celebrating mass without molestation, under the protec-
tion of Mr. Tuite and the constabulary, who afterwards
dispersed the rioters in all ilirectiduc The chapel of Ral-
inacarrig yet remains barricaded, nor is there any likelihood
at present of the ptrishioners submitting to the spiritual
jurisdiction of tithe, their bislops or priests.— Wert-neat/A
