PARISH OF KENSINGTON.—During Friday and
Saturday, the extensive parish of Kensington was consider-
ably excited by the opponents of church rates objecting to
the whole of the items in the accounts of the late church-
wardens, from the salaries of the organist and pew-openers
down to the charges for the sacramental bread and wine, and
demanding a poll on the question of their passing. At the
close of the poll on Friday the numbers were—For the pass-
ing of the accounts, 101 ; against it, 35 ; and at the final
close on Saturday afternoon the numbers were—For the mo-
tion 222 ; against it 82, being a majority of 140 in favour of
the church party.
HORSES.—About twenty hacknies, apparently the
sweepings from Lord Chesterfield's stables, were sold yester-
day at Tattersall's. The prices which these cast-off nags of
his Lordship fetched at the hammer, would seem surprisinglY
high to those persons who are unacquainted with the relative
value of roadsters. Several of them sold for 200 or 300
guineas each ; a very little mare, much used, and which had
seen her best days, fetched we believed 280 ; and even her
three ponies, of only about thirteen hands, were eagerly bought
at prices which would treble the amount often paid by the
retired merchant for a whole carriage equipage--harness,
horses, vehicle, and all. There are hacknies which have been
sold for thousands, but the sum which will command a good
one—of course a better nag than common—may be stated at
500 guineas. It is said that Lord Chesterfield has in his
possession no less than 400 horses eating corn, besides those
which are turned out at grass.
WANTON MISCHIEF.—Some unmusical wightt
who had not the fear of Chipp's thumping before his eyes,
wantonly out the heads of his valuable drums at the Opera-
house, on Saturday night. It is conjectured that it was per-
petrated by some fellow who had been tried at the drum-head
for misconduct.
A physician, in Prussia, lately prescribed a medi-
cine powder to the wife of a stock-broker, in the
quantity
the doses of which it was necessary to be very precise, and,
therefore, directed that they should be equal to the weight of
a ducat. The physician, on calling on the following day,
found his patient's malady increased to an alarming degree.
Ho earnestly inquired whether the medicine had been admi-
nistered. The husband answered in the affirmative, and, as
011
proof, produced the empty box. " Good God !" exclaimed
the physician, " How is this? The quantity I directed to be
given was not more than a twelfth !" " Oh I" teplied the man
of money, " not having a ducat in the house, I took three
Prussian crowns, which are equal to a ducat, and even took
care to add the ayio according to the last quotation at the ex-
change !"

MORALITY OF THE TIMES.—In referring to a
letter on the subject of the late trial, in which the writer
states that " the unhappy plaintiff was goaded to persevere ul
his unfortunate action by the artful instigation of the Tine'
of the 14th of May," the Chronicle observes—" We certainly'
can hardly be surprised that, though he (the plaintiff) re-
ceived no encouragement from his counsel, he should dread
the perpetual obloquy with which he had been threatened If
he stopped short. We do not helieve that in the whole his-
tory of the Press of this country there is another instance of a
newspaper placing a man in the cruel position of being forced
to do an act of injustice as the only means of escaping disho-
nour. The Press becomes a dreadful enginsce of mischief
when it prostitutes itself to such purposes. What is the
crime of extorting money from a man by the threat of charg-
ing him with an unnameable offence, compared with this con-
duct of the Times? Weighed in the scale of equity, there
is hardly a conceivable crime which is not venial when com-
pared with the acts of the Times. If the conscience of the
writer of the articles in the Times, which were calculated t 0
destroy the happincto of a family, do not rack him in hi,s,
last moments,' he must bo the most callous of hurt; an beings'

AMERICAN SHIPS IN THE PACIFIC..— The
American sloop _Honduras, Captain Scott, after cruising
among the group of islands around Ascension Island, went
into Strong's Island, to repair and provision. The captain
and eight men went on shore for supplies

and cabin-boy in the ship. The deck swarmed,leaving the
with islanders
—when it ,vas apprehended an attack had been made on the
boat's crew ashore, as the captain was heard calling to the
mate to load the muskets. The'mate, hearing this, sprang
on board from the natives, who had seized him, and with cut-
lass and musket succeeded in driving them overboard. He
then slipped the chain-cable, and with the aid of the NI
spread canvass and brought the vessel out of the harbour---
making the best of his way back to Ascension Island, where
she arrived after 11 days, without foremast, and short of pl.!'"
visions. Having shipped a native crew at Ascension, she
sailed for Oahu, where she arrived in January. Small Wee
are entertained that Captain Scott and the crew escaped being
murdered. The crew of the Thetis, Captain Rogers, ba"
attempted to seize the vessel, two or three of the men
having entered the cabin at midnight, and with axes ap-
proached the berths of Captain Rogers, and Hannington the
mate, arid severed off both their heads. The trading-master
of the schooner hearing the alarm, seized a cutlass, rater a

mainder to subjection. He had taken charge of ta7dYrteisosne:i
