The Calcutta Papers announce the death of Mr.
John Palmer on the 21st of January, one of the principal mer-
chants there. Mr. Palmer entered business in Calcutta about
fifty years ago in the retail line, in partnership with Mr. St.
George Tucker, now a Director of the East India Company,
afterwards conducted it by himself, and subsequently joined
Mr. Barber, with whom he carried on business under the firm
of Barber, Palmer, and Co. Mr. Palmer afterwards entered
into partnership with Mr. Traill, whose partners, Messrs.
Paxton and Cockerel], had proceeded to Europe. Mr. Traill
himself shortly after retired, and Mr. Palmer continued the
business under the well-known firm of Palmer and Co., which
in 1830 failed, and drew down with it, within a few years, all
the long-established agency houses of that place.

Tuesday morning, eleven shepherds from Lochaber,
with twelve women, and a due proportion of collies or shep-
herds' dogs, left Inverness for Van Diemen's Land. One of
the Highlanders learning in Lochaber that Government had
offered a bounty of 201. to all married men, and not being pro-
vided with a helpmate, set about supplying this deficiency.
He had only three days to accomplish the task of courtship
and marriage, and he met with two refusals. At length, on
the last day that he could remain at home, he popped the
question to a decent young woman, who gave her assent. Her
friends refused, but the parties got on board the steam-boat in
the Canal for Inverness, and were determined to be united.
They had great difficulty in finding a minister to tie the knot ;
hut as the vessel was passing through Gairloch lock, at five
o'clock on Saturday morning, fortunately a clergyman came
on beard for a few minutes, and the ceremony was performed,
to the no small joy of the parties, and the amusement of sun-
dry Englishmen, passengers, who got on deck with nightcap
and greatcoat, to witness a marriage in Gaelic.---Inverness
Courier.

FOR THE TEXIAN FRONTIER.—Governor Can-
non, of Tennessee, has issued a proclamation responding to the
requisition of Gen. Gaines for assistance, in which he invites
the citizens of that State to come forward and volunteer their
services in his aid. The Nashville Republican expresses an
opinion that his Excellency's call will be readily and promptly
complied with by the people of Tennessee.—American Paper.

- _
THE CATHOLIC CLERGY OF GHENT.--The
Roman Catholic service is performed with great pomp in its
Cathedral, which pomp is greatly enhanced by the superiority
of the sacred music performed at it. I attended a solemn high
mass there on a Sunday, and a more magnificent service I never
witnessed even in Catholic Germany. The bishop, a good-
looking man, with an appearance of great humility, presided
over the ceremonies. It can scarcely be from prejudice that
I say, for I am of the same faith with themselves, but I think
I never looked on a set of men with more sinister countenances
than his officiating clergy. What is the most extraordinary
circumstance in connexion with their looks is, that the younger
they were, the worse seemed to me to be the expression of their
faces. The mild, gentlemanly look of the bishop contrasted
advantageously with the dark repulsive aspect of his inferior
clergy. Two vergers in full costume—a cocked hat of enor-
mous dimensions, a laced coat, broad belt, and epaulets, marched
up and down the church during divine service. Each bore
in his hand a long pole with a battle-axe on the end. What
business had any thing like the appearance of on instrument of
war and death in God's house ? Perhaps it was only emble-
matic of the church militant, a character which the church of
Ghent has always sustained ; or, in illustration of Words-
worth's well-known line—

" Yea, carnage is thy daughter,"
I know not. To me they appeared out of place and out of
keeping. I was much edified by the decent piety manifested
by the crowds who filled the vast edifice on this as on all other
occasions when I was present. I have a strong
.objection to
the system of begging in the churches during divine service,
practised generally on the Continent. Three persons, officers
of the church, I believe, come round and rattle a copper box
before almost every individual of the congregation. It has
the effect of distracting the attention from objects of higher
interest, while it has no mitigation in the poverty of the priests.
A church supported by the state, as the Catholic church in
Belgium is, should be above beggary. Another nuisance is
the collection of cents for the use of chairs; which, like the
former, takes place in the very middle of your devotions. Why
not take the money for the latter at the beginning of the ser-
vice, and for the former at its termination ? Habit may re-
concile others to it, but no length of time has succeeded in
making it otherwise than unpleasant to me.—A Saunter in
13eium.
