They will require that a register shall be kept in

I have thus stated the objects which his Ma-
jesty's Government have in view, and the principal
regulations by which they think those objects may
be most effectually promoted ; and I am d reeled
by the Lord Lieutenant to express his Excellency's
earnest wish that the one and the other may be
found such as to procure for the Board the sanction
of your Grace's name, and the benefit of your
Grace's attendance.

A full power will of cow se be given to the
Thud, to make such regulations upon matters of de-
tail, not inconsistent with the spirit of these instruc-
tions, as they may judge best qualified to carry. into
effect the intentions of the Government and of the
Legislature. Parliament has already placed at his
Excellency's disposal a sum which may be available
even in the course of the present year; and as soon
as the Board can be formed, it will be highly desir-
able that no time should be lost, with a view to the
estimates of the ensuing year, in enabling such
schools, already established, as are willing to sub-
scribe to the conditions imposed, to put in their
claims for protection and assistance ; and in receiv-
ing applications from par Jes desirous to avail them-
selves of the munificence of the Legislature, in
founding new schools under your regulations.
have the honour to be, my Lord, your Grace's
most obedient servant,

By his Excellency's command.

The Earl of HARROWBY was in the side, or
Members' gallery, during the delivery of Lord Junx
Rvs-
sELL's speech last night. A gentletnan sat near him, who
took close notes of Lord Joshes speech, and hastily quitted
the Members' gallery when Lord JOHN sat down.

In the Court of King's Bench, Dublin, on
Thursday, the Hon. F. CavENDlsx was convicted of a
libel on Lord 13tstanam. The defendant is proprietor of
the Mayo Telegraph, or Connaught Ranger, Newspaper,
and the libel complained of appeared in December, 1830,
and January, 1831. The transtctions in which they
originated were some details about a duel with Major
FITZGERALD, and the defendant imputed forgery, false-
hood, and cowardice, to the Noble prosecutor. The case
was tried in a criminal shape, and judgment deferred.
A DISGRACE TO THE CHURCH.--We have
received a letter from a correspondent, who states that a
reverend man (we will not say gentleman), who is en-
gaged to direct North-Riding souls to Heaven, and whose
address is in our possession, lately hired a horse of a cer-
tain innkeeper, " which he rode so hard as to burst the
organs of respiration, and the poor animal died in torture
a few hours after." The same reverend mon, our cor-
respondent says, boasts of having rode the first eightuen
miles in one hour—and the servant of his reverence states
that he (the Divine) killed his own horse, in the same
manner, a short time ago. It is well said that " a good
man will be merciful to his beast"—what then shall we
term this degraded animal in human form, whose official
duties, if this be correct, must he an abomination to
the Lord ? For shame, disgusting offender ! repent in
dust and ashes ! York Herald.

Yesterday morning the Rev. Mr. IRVING
announced to his church and congregation, that in conse-
quence of the differences which had taken place in the
church, it had been deemed proper to appoint a day of
special fasting and humiliation before Gon. Such differ-
ences, he said, had never before occurred, and now that
they had taken place, they were to him a source of much
regret. Thursday next was the day set apart to the pur-
poses he had referred to, and he hoped that it would t e
observed throughout the church by every family apart.
It was not a public, but a private fast, but he trusted it
would be generally attended to. There was not on this,
as on some former occasions, what has been miscalled a
manifestation of the Spirit, and properly called the extra-
vagancies of fanaticism. It is presumed that the diffe-
rences referred to by Mr. lavitio have happily occasioned
the suspension of the gift in the public assemblies of the
church. It is singularly unfortunate that a church so
highly and peculiarly favoured should be falling out
amongst themselves. Some sceptical souls may be dis-
posed, by this circumstance, to doubt whether Mr. lavlsfa
be correct in attributing the gift of tongues to the Holy
Spirit, especially as Sr. PAUL declares that amongst the
fruits of the Spirit are love and peace.

we understand, has got so far north as Aberdour, in Fife,
On Sunday week an old man-of-war's man commenced, i❑
the parish church, in the forenoon, to give a specimen of
his powers, and again, in the afternoon, a schoolinaster in
the neighbourhood proceeded to explain the mystery,
which had not been properly understood in the forenoon,
and went on exclaiming, " 0 yes—O yea—O yes—it is
all true,"—when he was cut short, and handed out of the
church by some rational persons who were near him.--

About half-past seven o'clock on Sunday
evening an indescribable alarm was created in the neigh-
bourhood of the Imperial Gas Company's works at St,
Pancras, by a cry that the retort-house was on are. In a
few minutes the whole of the retort-house and the roof of
the building presented one body of flame, and, we regret to
strte, spread with uncontroulled fury. By nine o'clock the
fire-engines had arrived from all parts of the town, but,
with the exception of the Protector, were refused admis-
sion. By eleven o'clock the fire had been overcome.
Two men were severely injured. The cause of the acci-
dent was as follows :--One of the pipes became leaky, and,
as it is termed, burst. The tar soon ignited and commu-
nicated to the doors of the retort, and thence spread over
the building. Fortunately, the retorts were saved, and
thus no stoppage of the works will take place.
On Saturday se'nnight a very curious fish
was caught and brought into Yarmouth, by one of the
fishing boats (WILLIAIvt GEORGE, master). It is about
the size of a large mackerel, fourteen inches long, rather
Render in proportion to the length, and of a dark brown
colour, with three large fins on the back, and two on the
belly. On each side was a glittering gold-coloured in irk
from the head to the tail ; one fin of the tail being the
colour of the body, the other of a bright yellow ; black
eyes, a large mouth, and gullet in proportion to the size
of the fish. On opening it, thirty-three penny pieces of
the date of 1702, and a silver thimble, were found in
its belly. The fish was shown at the shop of Mr. Ho-
BERT BLAKE, in the Post-office-row, where, we believe, it
now lies for the inspection of the curious.....-Norwich Eusl
