leyan Methodists, that the attempts of that body
of Christians to fraternise with the Church, are
not only unsuccessful, but are repulsed in the most
insulting and contemptuous manner imaginable.
To such a pitch do the Clergy of the Endowment
carry their antipathy to the followers of WESLEY,
that they even deny them a claim to what they con-
sider the only Christian mode of burial. A Nor-
folk parson—and he, it appears, is not the only
recusant—has refused to inter an infant in the
churchyard, with the usual forms, because it had
been baptised by a Wesleyan Minister, and not by
one who had had the holy hand of a Bishop on
his head.

Now this, it will be generally admitted, is an
act of great and crying barbarity. It can matter
nothing to the little innocent whether its remains
are laid in consecrated earth or not—it will sleep
soundly enough anywhere, and will be a " minis-
tering angel " when this " churlish priest lies
howling." To the bereaved parents, however, it is
not so. A new and bitter pang is added to their
grief. Their wounded hearts are touched in tl.e
tenderest part, and, Oh ! shame I the blow is admi-
nistered by the hand of one whose duty it is to
bind up the broken-hearted, and to comfort the
" mourner in Zion." Lives there a father or a
mother whose bosom does not swell with indigna-

•
twit at the recital of an act like this—an act
which unites in itself the intolerance of a bigot with
the cruelty of a savage ?
How the religious sect thus insulted may digest
the affront it is not for us to conjecture. They halve
had, of late, a few not equivocal marks of the re-
gard which the Church entertains for them. The
present is a crowning tribute of respect. It tells
them that the clergy look upon them as worse than
Papists, inasmuch as they, the parsons, never refuse
to read the burial service over a person baptized by
a Catholic priest. Happily, however, the law is here
too strong for the Protestant priests. It puts a bridle
on their bigotry, and makes them do that by com-
pulsion, which, had they a spark of true Christian
feeling, they would delight to do of their own accord.
It is due to the excellent Bishop of the diocese,
in which this disgraceful transaction took place, to
state, that, as soon as the matter was represented to
him, he expressed the strongest disapprobation of
the conduct of the Curate who has thus set decency,
humanity, and the law of the land, equally at defi-
ance, and that he took the necessary steps to pre-
vent the recurrence of proceedings so discreditable
to the Church to which the delinquent belongs.
The name of this worthy we have not yet
learned, as the meaiy-mouthed Watchman, out of
delicacy, no doubt, to the Church, or perhaps from
gratitude for the kicks and cuffs which the Metho-
dists are every day receiving from that quarter, has
thought it his duty to suppress it. We should like
to know it, and to make it known. There is hardly
anything that may not be turned to account some
way or other, and this journeyman parson, if good
for nothing else, may be of some use as a scare-crow.

The packet ship England arrived yesterday at
Liverpool from New York, bringing New York
Papers to the 2d instant, with Montreal and Quebec
Journals to the 27th and 29th ult. respectively.
The commercial intelligence, of which a copious
summary will be found below, is highly important
to the mercantile community of this country. None
of the New York Banks' had suspended specie pay-
ments, though suffering greatly from the constant
drain upon them. There was but little business
doing, and all eyes were anxiously turned to
Europe, in the expectation that some relief would
shortly come from the Old 'World. Matters, how-
ever, were generally supposed to be at the worst ;
as by none was the commercial state of the country,
including domestic and foreign credit, considered as
irretrievably desperate. Were the price of flour so
high here as to afford a fair profit on the export of
that commodity, the United States' Banks would ex-
perience no difficulty in righting themselves, as the
grain crop in the States is very abundant. But
it is too soon to begin to speculate on the results of.
a state of things, which are but just in the first pro;
gress of development. We are for placing the
fullest confidence in the United States' banking
establishments, persuaded that one of the worst
steps that could be taken would be to depreciate
their securities, and thus compel them prematurely,
and without due preparation, to resume specie pay-
ments. All they want is tune to enable them to
do what they really seem most willing to accom-
plish in any way not entailing upon them certain
destruction, namely, the redemption of every frac-
tion of their securities.

The news from Canada is not important. Our
garrulous Contemporary the Morning Herald of
this day says, " the appointment to the Governor-
ship of Canada of MACKENZIE would scarcely
have been felt as a grosser outrage on the feelings
of the Canadian loyalists than the appointment of
Mr. POULETT THOMSON, the late President of
the Board of Trade." That the readers of the
Herald may be at no loss to understand the worth
of its editorial comments, the same Journal quotes
a most loyal address from the Magistrates of the
district of Montreal to the new Governor, having
previously published others from the citizens and
merchants of Quebec. But, perhaps, this is the
Tory fashion of manifesting a sense of " outraged
feelings." At all events it is the fashion pre-
valent just now in Canada. The new Governor-
General is as much beslobbered with the congratu-
lations of the " Canadian Loyalists" as if they
had never opened their mouths in repudiation of re-
' cognizing the representative of a British Sovereign
in a British merchant. The truth is, the Canadian
Loyalists, like their prototypes nearer home, have
no other object in view than the love of pelf. The
Tories there, as well as here, regard the State as a
milch-cow, whose dugs are only to be encompassed
by Tory fingers ; and while filling their pails they
are patterns of loyalty, but turn the cow to other
keepers, and their every word breathes treason and
rebellion.

Sir GEORGE ARTHUR arrived at Montreal on
the 27th, to meet the Governor-General, with a
view to make arrangements for the prevention of
disturbances during the winter.

NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, OCT. 30.
What has been the effect of the news received by the
arrival from Liverpool yesterday morning with eight
days' later dates on the Money Market and business
will probably be a question now generally asked, yet it
is a question very difficult to answer.
The embarrassments of the agency of the Bank of
the United States in London is one of the most promi-
nent topics of public conversation. The advance made
by the Bank of England to Mr. Jaudon in Consols was
300,000/. sterling. We think it probable that this ad-
vance would cover all the engagements of Mr. Jaudon
until the arrival of the Great Western, which would
probably take place about a fortnight afterwards—cer-
tainly all the engagements of which Mr. Jaudon was
then aware. We know that the Great Western took
out to him near 1,000,000 dollars in specie, and an
evening contemporary' who no doubt speaks on good
authority, says the
steamer also conveyed to him
2,000,000 dollars of
stock of the State of Pennsylvania.
If this stock should be converted into specie, Mr. Jan-
don would, no doubt, find himself perfectly at his _ ease,
but of this—undoubted as the stock is as regards its
eventual payment—weconfess we entertain our doubts.
We think, that in the
principal present critical position of the
money markets i
nEurope, and more particu-
larly since the discredit into
information, American securitieswhich' we have already
increased have fallen, and which
will probably be materially
very difficult,ieitfe not
