Up to the present hour we do not hear of any arrival
from the United States in our. ports, but in all probabi-
lity, as the Havre packet got into port, we may expect
in a few hours to hear of one or two New York packets
h►►ving arrived at Liverpool. It appears that the
United States Bank Shares come lower, 67 68.

In the Foreign Market the only operation at present
in the Dutch Stock, which left off on Saturday at 521 1
and opened this morning at 521 5311, ; this improvement',
attributed to an arrangement having taken place between
the Chambers and the King of Holland in respect to thi
financial affairs. Spanish Active closed at 241 25

It is stated in the Liverpool papers received this
morning, that on Thursday evening last, at a Reform
meeting held in St. George's Ward, Mahchester, Mr.
George Wilson, said that there are at present upwards
of 1,300 horse's-power, connected with the Cotton ma-
nufacture in Stockdale, totally unemployed, and that
most of the remaining wheels were working short time.
A report prevailed in the course of the morning of
an express having arrived from Dverpool with an
account of the arrival of the Indepedence packet from
New York. Up to the present, hour we cannot trace
it to any authentic source.

Very little has been doing in the British Market
during the morning, but in the Foreign Market it being
settling day to-morrow, the brokers and jobbers are
occupied in arranging their accounts ; the heaviest ono
to adjust will be that of Dutch, the extreme fluctuation
is about I to 4 per cent.

AIR. EDITOR,--A scene took place on Christmas.
day, in the Chapel of Torquay, most remarkable, strik-
ing, and characteristic. The Rev. Mr. Elliot performed
the duty, and was assisted in the Communion by the
Bishop of the Diocese. The Rubric enjoins that the
Creed of St. Al hanasius he said on that day instead of
the Apostles' Creed. Either from inadvertence, or a
knowledge that this Creed was. obnoxious to three-
fourths of the congregation—a Creed forbidden by
George 111. to be read in his presence, and considered
by many of the brightest ornaments of our Church—
either from one of these causes, or a self-conviction that
such denunciations were little consistent with the cha.
ratter of a Protestant Minister—the Rev. Gentleman
commenced the Apostles' Creed. He had not
proceeded far, when Bishop Phillpotts, with out-
stretched arm and voice of thunder, exclaimed—
" Whosoever will be saved." Thus interrupted, startled,
and confused, the rebuked minister paused, then, pe-
remptorily commanded, repeated in a low voice, the
A thanasian Creed. The service continued, the Bishop
showing, most undisguisedly. that he was irritated and
annoyed. When the priest read the Exhortation,
and came to "we eat and drink our own
damnation," he substituted for the last word " con..
demnation," again was the voice of the Descendant
of the Apostles heard, with startling emphasis, pro-
nouncing, " damnation! !!" The effect was electric.
No one but felt their blood creep in their veins—it can-
not better be described than in the simple words of a
female present, " The letters of my prayer-book
seemed to dance before my eyes, and I felt
sick at heart." Surely, Mr. Editor, it was most
unseemly thus to disturb the composure and Chris-
tian state of mind of all those who were devoutly
disposed. If the Bishop saw any thing in the conduct
and demeanor of his inferior, calling for animadversion,

surely the altar was not the place, nor during the Sacra-
ment of the Lord's Supper the time, for rebuke and
censure. But I will make no comment on this scene,

I forbear to paint it in the glowing colours it is capable
of. To the hearts of all true Christians, such a desecra-
tion of the anniversary of the day that blessed us with
the coming of the Herald of peace and good will to man,
can only bring sorrow and humiliation—to the well
wishers of the Established Church, dismay and alarm.
Torquay, Dec. 27, 1839.
