MARRIAGE OF W. E. WYNNE, ESQ., TO
Mrs SLANEY.—The tenants of the Peniarth estate and
well.wishers of their ancient family met to dine at that re-
spectable mansion, to celebrate the marriage of their worthy
landlord and friend. In the morning two fine oxen, value
381,, with a quantity of clothing, were distributed to the
poor of the parish of Llanegryn.
Mr. Drummond will leave Ireland in a state of
tranquillity totally unparalleled in our annals. This
country has becom eso peaceable that the Evening Mail
has abandoned its usual " state-of-the-country" heading,
for there are no crimes to record. One-third of our entire
Military force has been removed to maintain order in
England, and the remainder can be sent if necessary.
What a sagacious move that was of Lord Roden.
On Thursday, the 23d, the Glenswilly, of Glas-
gow, a fine ship of 632 tons, sailed, with a fair wind, for
Adelaide and Sydney, having on board eighty first and
second cabin passengers, and twelve steerage passengers,
servants of the above. This is the first vessel belonging to
Glasgow that has sailed for Australia. God speed the
bark I—Glasgow Argus.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE METHODIST
CONFERENCE, AND NATIONAL EDUCATION.—.A Hartle-
pool Correspondent writes as follows :—" Judge of my
surprise on Sunday morning last, to find in the lobby of
the chapel, a petition against national education ; my
astonishment being increased, when the preacher, at the
close of his discourse, addressed his audience to this effect :
—' There is a petition in the lobby, which I would wish
every man in the chapel to sign. It is intended, in a few
days, to make application to Parliament, to grant the sum
of 30,0001, to employ Papist schoolmasters to educate the
children of poor Protestants; the Popish scriptures are
to be introduced into the schools; and unless efficient
opposition is made, the poor Protestant children will be
made Papists, and thus Popery, which our fathers suf-
fered so much to expel, will be again predominant in this
land I' I need not tell you, that after this address, the
poor confiding people added numerous signatures to the
petition. I was prepared to meet party spirit in almost
any form, and in almost any place; but, that truth should
thus be ignorantly or knowingly violated by a Methodist
preacher in a Methodist pulpit, under the influence of party
views, was more than I was prepared for."—[This is a
specimen of the manner in which religious men sport with
truth when so doing answers a party purpose. What con-
nection is there between the Government establishing a
normal and model school, and making Protestant chil.
dren into Papists ?]
THE ARMY —There is a report that Lord
Hill is about to retire, and that the Marquis of Anglesey
will succeed to the command of the army—that Lord
Fitzroy Somerset will relieve Sir Henry Fane in India,
and that Sir Frederick Stovin will be the Military Secre-
tary to the Commander-in-Chief.—Natal and Military
Gazette.
NOCTURNAL BALLOON ASCENT.—" WE
FLT BY NIGHT."—Last night another of those exhibitions,
of late years so numerous, but the novelty of which, it
would appear, is not yet quite exhausted, took place from
the Royal Standard gardens, City-road. About a quarter
to eleven Mr. Gypson, the new aspirant for aeronautic
honours, accompanied by a gentleman whose name did not
transpire, took their seats in the car of the balloon, arid
everything being ready for the ascent, the word was given,
and in the course of a minute the ponderous machine,
which is entirely new, was released from the ropes, and
took her departure for "the regions above,"- amidst the
cheers of the spectators. Mr. Gypson discharging a
posse of fireworks from the car as they ascended. The
balloon took a south-easterly direction, and soon became
o *tin the clouds.
DREADFUL AND ALARMING FIRE.—We
regret to state that about one this morning, (Friday,) a
most dreadful fire broke out in the extensive coach-manu-
factory of Mr. Atkinson, situate in Pilgrim-street in this
town. It broke out in the back part of the factory next
Erick-street. Two engines were soon in readiness, but
owing to the length of time that elapsed before water could
be obtained, and the strong wind prevailing at the time,
the flames spread with most alarming rapidity, and before
two o'clock nearly the whole of the factory was enveloped
in flames, which raged with such fury as to cause appre-
hension that not any part of the buildings nor any of the
valuable and extensive stock they contained would ba
saved. Every exertion was made to draw the carriages
into the street, and a great many were saved, but the great
delay which took place before the engines were brought to
play in the front, created fears that tne fire would extend -
to the houses in Pilgrim-street. Several of the houses in DIED.
