CHRISTIE'S DISCOURSES on the DIVINE
UNITY. Fourth Edition, ss.

" The God" to the Trinitarian " unknown"--viz., " the God of "
his " Lord Jesus Christ."

If, then, believers in a tri-personal Deity were told of a people
who believed that the Supreme Being, once upon a time, be-
came, re vera, a beetle or a fungus, for a period of thirty years,
would not his " reason stand aghast, and his faith utterly
confounded," at so monstrous a superstition ? Now—with pre-
cisely the same sensations, in kind and degree, does the be-
liever in " the God of our Lord Jesus Christ" contemplate the
doctrine of the Supreme Being having become, re vera, during
the given period, a foetus—a child—a boy—a man. An oscillation
every now and then between these reflections twain, if it did not
teach the orthodox Christian divine truth, might teach him divine
charity.

(From the Western Times.)
EXETEIt, JAN. 7, 1837.—We learn that the meeting at
Totnes on Monday next, for the purpose of taking steps to
secure the rejection of N. E. N. Parker, Esq., will be most
numerously attended. The Hon. Chairman, Stanley Cary,
Esq , and the gentlemen who co-operate with him, have
been indefatigable in their exertions. It would be prema-

a decided Reformer will be proposed.

PREPARATION of the highest order for the
UNIVERSITIES and PUBLIC SCHOOLS, especially
those of ETON, HARROW, WINCHESTER, RUGBY, and
ST. PAUL'S, upon a plan peculiarly calculated to ensure a high
rank on admission, and prevent the disappointments frequently oc-
casioned by defective training. The leading features are, sound and
accurate grammatical knowledge, an early familiarity with prose
and verse composition, an enlarged acquaintance with ancient and
modern histery, and a systematic course of Scriptural instruction.
The School is of ancient endowment and established reputation ;
nor does it yield to any in the distinctions obtained of late years in
both Universities, where several Fellowships have very recently
been gained in the Colleges which are open to free competition.
The domestic arrangements are on a scale of liberality and comfort
equal to any school, and far exceeding many which are much more
expensive. The situation is central, healthy, and rural. The
terms are most moderate, when compared with the advantages of-
fered, which on inquiry will prove to be of no ordinary kind, and
such as are not usually presented through the medium of an
Advertisement.
References to characters of the first eminence.
Address, or apply personally, to the Rev. M. A., at Mr. Walker's
Chambers, Bolt-court. Fleet-street, where the Head Master may be
seen on every day in the present week, between the hours of Two
and Four—or at any other time by previous appointment.

VAUXHALL GARDENS•

These gardens gardens dozed for the season on SattrrdaY last ;
but, in consequence of the unprecedented success which has
attended the day fetes, the proprietors cline to tite deter-
mination of giving two additional entertainments this' week,
the first of which took place yesterday, and the Ganle"
were numerously attended.
The principal object of attraction was the ascent of the
Nassau Balloon, which took place at about a quarter to sir'
Mr. Green was accompanied in his aerial excursion by Capt.
Polhill, Mr. G. Webb, Mr. Beasley, and Mr. T. Hughes.
Up to the time of the ascent the weather continued very
favourable, and, there being a smart wind at the time, the
balloon ascended with great rapidity, taking a north-easterly
direction, passing directly over the metropolis, and in a verr
short time was lest to the view of the spectators in the
Gardens.
About twenty minutes after the departure of the balloon,
it commenced raining very heavily, and continued the whAe
of the evening, very much to the annoyance of the company'
and to the detriment of the amusements, which were nume-
rous and varied.
Up to twelve o'clock no tidings of the teronauts had
reached the Gardens. Indeed, had they effected a safe land-
ing, the state of the weather, perhaps, prevented their return.

HERRING FISHERY.

ABERDEEN.—Bad weather has interrupted the
labours,
of the fishermen at this port during the week. On the
nights the boats got to sea, they returned with a fair fishingt
but nothing to boast of. A good many had as high as tW
crans on Thursday and Friday, but several had none. The
average is now 127 crans.
CArritNEss.—The fishing on the coast of Caithness has
not been so successful as was anticipated ; and the bad
weather which has prevailed during the early part of last
week has operated against the fishery. We have sutnme",
up the number of crans caught at the different stations, and
can see nothing to lead us to any other conclusion than that
sales will be low. Reds are as low in London, this week'
as 19s. gross ; but this was the effect of a glut or run on the
market, which not unfrequently happens during the west
seasons.
PETERHEAD.—We have had a very poor fishing this
week, and our average, including this morning, for the
season is 116 trans.
FRASERBUR4H.—Our boats will average about 130
erans, and we have good grounds for supposing we are the
best fished port on the east coast.
BANFF.—During this and the end of last week, partly
owing to the weather, the herring fishing on this part of the
coast has nearly proved a failure.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
lame; ti milkman, living in Thomas-street, was
brought before thorged with the following
offence : . .

John Curtis, footman in the service of Lady lit. “er.
4+h.," was charged by Spice with an assault, but who
at the stnrgestidfi of Inspector Dewring was called upon to
give evidenu, stated that he tfit.' as ending Lady St. Ger-
mains and two other ladies, on Sunday altettwon, and when
in South Moulton-street the defendant, in a state cf in-
to*igation, with his milk pails on his shoulders, pushed
rudely and designedly against Lady St. Germains. The
defendant finding that his ruffianly conduct had succeeded
in frightening the ladies, madti n second push against
Lacy St. Germains,: and in a tone or vulg,..ir familiarity
said, " How do you do, Sukey ?" Witness put his
tine before the defendant and insisted upon his de-
sisting. The defendant, after aome abuse of witness, ap-
parently walked away. 'Witness had not proceeded
[Tiny yards before he received a blow on the back
of his neck, and perceiving that his assailant was the
defendant, he struck him in return a blow on the face
with his cane. The ladies became violently alarmed, but
fortunately a gentleman came up who took charge of them,
and placed them in the house of Lord Westmoreland.
The defendant made a second attack on witness, and broke
one of the ladies parasols over him ; but witness defended
himself successfully with his cane, and managed to inflict a
severe thrashing on his rntagonist. A policeman having
made his appearance, the defendant gave witness into cus-
tody for the assault. The inspector, after having heard
the statements on both sides, decided upon detaining both
parties, one for the alleged assault, and the other for being
drunk. _ _ _

Mr. DYER said the servant was discharged from the as-
sault. His conduct was perfectly justifiable, and such as,
under the circumstances of the case, he was warranted in
pursuing. As he had received the first blow, he was quite
ready, if the servant chose to press the matter, to hear the
charge against the defendant.
The servant said he did not wish to m.tke any further
charge, especially as he had already punished the defendant
severely.

In defence the defendant pleaded ignorance of the con.
duct imputed to him.
He was then fined five shillings for intoxication, anc
discharged.

PAVING OF OXFORD-STREET.

On Saturday there was a 7.nutpeirous attend
Y '
ance of cc"
trymen,,
in consequence of its having P been reviousl riree'
to receive a deputation of the inCabitanthouseholders of
Oxford-street, relative to the proposal made by the vestry
to pave that street.
The deputation, consistii•g of upwards of 100 of the
most respectable merchants and others paying rates in 0%-
I)rd-street, having been admitted into the Vestry-room—
Mr. IlicKsoN read a memorial, signed by about 420 out
of 500 rate-payers in that street, to the Vestry, detailing
the injury, in many cases absolute ruin, which w:ould inevi-
tably result from paving that street, and praying that, in-
stead, it should be Macadamized, as it had hitherto been.
Mr. J. Itooens complained that any member of that
Vestry should have called the if

LIVERPOOL CATTLE-MARKET, SEPT. 11.
The attendance at our Cattle Market this morning was very

quantity of Beasts at market was large, and prices remain the
same. The supply of Sheep was also good, but everything
was dull and heavy.
Lamb was to be found in abundance, but did not sell, al-
though the graziers were willing to submit to a little reduction.

The Duke of Argyle, who has been seriously indis-
posed, is convalescent.
VOLUNTARY CHURCH-RATE.—The churchwar-
dens are busily collecting the rate levied by themselves, af-
ter the refusal of the parish to sanction the impost. Thcy
boast much of their success, and doubtless many contribute
as a voluntary gift what they would not give on compul-
sion to such an object. A parish may not be taxed for
religious purposes but with its own consent. This is the
essence of religious liberty ; as the right of taxing the nation
by the Commons only, lies at the basis of civil liberty. We
rejoice in the issue of the struegle. A great principle has
been established, and at the same time the moderation and
temper of those who have been branded as friends of con-
fusion have been evinced.—Kendal Mercury.
Last night an inquisition was held on the body
of George Booth, who cut his throat in so severe a man-
ner with a knife which he snatched from the shop of a
botcher in the Horscferry-road, Westminster, that he died
from the effect of the wound. The jury, after hearing the
evidence of the House-Surgecn of the Westminster Hos-
, pital, and the bov in the service of the butcher, returned a
verdict of " Insanity."

pany's newly-appointed constables, No. 19.

son you were interrupting has as much right to give his re-

construction on the offence, and by your promising not to
repeat it, you will be liberated.

this city was lately travelling between Blandford and Salis-
bury, when he was overtaken by a thunder-storm, and
thereby induced to stop at Woodyate Inn, a lone house,
equi-distant from the above towns. Wishing to amuse him-
self, he asked the female waiter if she could lend him an
interesting book ? She smilingly replied, "0, yes Sir, that
I can : I've a very entertaining book in my box." She im-

WORSHIP-STREET.

Yesterday a young female, of respectable connections,
was brought up in the custody of police constable Wil-
liam Leach, H 97, and placed at the bar before Mr.
BROUGHTON, having been found in the street in a state of
stupefaction from liquor.
It appeared from the evidence of the officer that she
stated she left her father's home on the Sunday evening to
go to the Rev. Dr. Fletcher's Chapel, in Moorfields ; that
she had been there, and was on her way home through
Whitechapel, when she saw a crowd round an itinerant
preacher. She stopped to listen to his discourse, and while
there she was addressed by a man, who entered into con-
versation upon religious subjects. He talked about the
eloquence of the preacher, expatiated upon the spiritual
agency of God, and quoted Scripture for his purposes.
Charmed by his language, he at length persuaded her to
enter a house, where by his persuasion she was induced to
partake of some brandy and water. She bad no more than
a portion of one glass, when, on getting into the air, she
soon found herself senseless ; after which she bad no recol-
lection of anything till she found herself in the station-
house.
A paper was handed to Mr. BROUGHTON, on which was
an exact description of the person of the prisoner, and the
dress worn by her ; and it was stated that a gentleman had
that morning come to the office with the paper, that he
had recognised the prisoner, and that he was gone for her
mother. _

On the mother entering the office, she clasped her
daughter in the utmost state of distraction.
Mr. BROUGHTON then restored the prisoner to her
parents.

COMMISSION OF LUNACY.

Yesterday a Commission of Lunacy WAS held at the
Gray's.inn Coffee-house, before Commissioners W.
Yliilli-
more and C. K. Murray, to inquire into the state of Bea
of Mr. Christopher Alderson, a young gentleman borer
and dumb, and next heir to a considerable property.
'rhe Counsel for the petitioner briefly narrated the chief in
dications of the disease under which Mr. Alderson laboured.
Mr. Bains, a surgeon, who knew the family of Mr. Al:
Berson spoke to the idiotcy of the young man, who appearc
Ad
not to know the difference of the sexes, for when his ssister.
in witness's presence, put a question to him in writing, "I
ad
reply to it would be " Yes, Sir," therefore implying, de
the witness, that he did not know the distinction of t,he
sexes. Witness had frequently communicated with hire
means of writing ; and for this purpose Mr. Alderson
always carried a piece of slate and a pencil in his pocket
he was incapable of following up any idea of a questi".
On some subjects he appeared to have some little under-
standing ; but upon most he evinced an utter ignorance. t,
The bailiff who has the care of the estate upon whit
Mr. Alderson has been living since the death of his fatly'',
was examined at considerable length, and proved his melts"
dimly condition both of body and mind.
Dr. Sutherland was next examined, and was of opinl
that he had been of unsound mind since the period specified
by Mr. Bains, the first witness.
The Jury expressed a desire to see Mr. Alderson. 1(e
was accordingly led into the room by Mr. Bains, and en-
tered with a vacant smile upon his countenance. He is an
object of great commiseration, being afflicted with such al
complicatimi of human infirmities.
The Jury returned a verdict that Mr. Alderson had becn
of unsound mind since the 30;11 of April, 1832.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

HOME CIRCUIT—MAIDSTONE, MARCH 13.
This evening Lord Chief Justice TINDAL and Mr. JuFtiee
VAUGHAN arrived here, and the Commission was opened in
due form.

The Crown Court calendar is numerically heavy. The fol-
lowing is a summary statement of the critne3 with which the
prisoners stand charged :—Murder 1, horse stealing 2, bur-
glary 4, highway robbery 1, house-breaking 2, embezzlement
1, unlawfully possessing stolen property 2, abominable crime 2.
larcenies, &c. 62, maliciously wounding a person 1, maliciously
wounding sheep I, abusing an infant child 1, sheep stealing 2,
maliciously shooting 1, breaking curtilage 1, committed to give
evidence 1, committed for the want of sureties 2, stealing in
dwelling houses 3, in custody on suspicion, &c. 1, uttering
base coin 2—making a total of 92.
If some expected cause in the Nisi Prius Court should come
' on, the Assize will occupy nearly the whole week.
Charles Woollen, miller, aged 46, was placed at the bar,
charged with having stolen, on the 9th of January, 1836, two
ewes, the property of Joseph Newing ten, of Storsmonden.
Mr. Chad+•ick Jones having addressed the Jury for the pri-
,soner, the Learned fudge summed up, and the Jury returned a
verdict of Guilty.—Sentenced to transportation for life.

NORTHERN cinculT.—y., MARCH 13.
William Newsome was indicted for the murder of Robert
Marshall, door-keeper in the Debtors' Pusan, in Scotland-
street, Sherleld, on the 25th of July last.
His LORDSIITP, at the close of the case for the prosecution,
intimated that be thought there was nothing to go to the Jury
on the charge of murder. It was a qucntion of manslaughter
merely.
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty of manslaughter, and
the prisoner was sentenced to one year's imprisonment and
hard labour in the House of Correction.

James Far Mer was indicted for the murder of Joseph Wilke,
at Sheffield, on the 29th of November last.
Verdict—Not Guilty, on the ground of his: pity.
Joseph Ridsdale, the particulars of whose case were given
yesterday—he being indicted for shooting at one of Sir \Vil-
Earn Milner's watches—was at a very late hour on Saturday
night found' Guilty. Sentence was deferred.

NORFOLK CIRCUIT—BEDFORD. MARCH 11.
James Gibbs, aged 20, was capitally indicted with having
feloniously assaulted Elizabeth Pestell, widow.
Mr. GUNNING conducted the prosecution, and Mr. BYERS
appeared for the prisoner;. and from the evidence in chief of
the prosecutrix, who, though she stated her age to he 35, cer-
tainly appeared quite old enough to have been the mother of
the prisoner, the act imputed to have been committed was
clearly proved. On her cross-examination, however, she could
not give any very satisfactory reason why she did not raise an
alarm in the first instance, though the assault originated in the
high road. Under these suspicious circumstances his Lord-
ship dropped a very intelligible hint to the Jury, that it would
be roost unsafe to listen to such evidence, and the prisoner was
therefore acquitted.

TRACTORS, or MERCHANTS, nor any other, is required on
the _Address; and Letters directed

without any further remprks or description, will do for any Branch
of our multifarious Business. We beg further to observe, that a
Letter with one enclosure doubles the postage only, but several en-
closures would by far increase the same; thus 201. 40/, or 60/.,
for instance, if remitted in one Bank of England Nose would only
cause double postage; hut 201. remitted in two Ten-pound Notes,
or Four Five-pound Notes; would be liable to a much higher
charge. It is, therefore, most advisable for those having to remit
sooney to Hamburgh to forward the amount, whenever possible,
in One Note, or One Check, or one Bank Post Bill, &c. &e. The
same is advisably: on receiving Money from Hamborgh. Of course,
lar-Te sums, amounting to s,rne or many thousands may rather be
remitted in Bills of Exchange.

those having to give any Orders for such Branches of our
Ilu;iness ac must be executed before the 26th Ali ItCH are re-
quested to lose no time in forwarding the same.

ATTEMPT AT ASSASSINATION AT
THE EAST INDIA HOUSE, THIS DAY.

An atrocious attempt was made this morning, at the East
India House, to assassinate Mr. Loch, the Deputy Chairman
of the East India Company, by a man named Kearney, who
was lately employed in India as a conductor of Ordnance.
Having obtained admission to Mr. Loch's room, Kearney at-
tacked that gentleman, and with a knife resembling those used
by the Malays, inflicted two wounds, one on the back of the
head and the other on the cheek. He was immediately secured,
and is now in confinement. We are happy to be able to add,
that Mr. Loch is doing well, and that no apprehensions of
serious permanent injury are entertained by his medical atten-
dant.
