PROPOSED DISINTERMENT OF

MALIBRAN.

(From the Manchester Guardian of Wednesday.)
Since our last another letter has been received by Mr. J.
Macvicar, the boroughreeve of Manchester, from Monsieur
De Beriot, on the sti.'L..'i'net of the exhumation of the remains
of his lament-L.:,wifel The lettet, which is dated Brussels,
Oct t':n, acid which wo.; posted at Liverpool on Sunday
, last, M. tie Piennes and the courier being then (and we
believe yet) in that town, was received by the harm-I:reeve
on Monday. It was ereseirt - ,
o earnest suppli•
cation, and commences by stating that the writer has just
learned all the honours which been iervici'cd to the
memory of his beloved Aik. and by ex i'essint; his sincere
e
acknowledgments to the boroughrec've dr tht Part which
he had taken therein. Sufferink tn. 3 IMich himself to re-
turn to Manchester) 14 throws himself oh the kindness of
Mr. Macvicar tecond him in the dearest desire of hi:,
.
heart, `,;jotaining which he appears ttl siippose that the
bor-Jughreeve's authority tkli-powerful, that of transporting
the loved remiiis t`,), his own country. This vow (van),*
whiel+ lit' had formed, he says is the only consolation re-
maining to him, and if he cannot accomplish it his whole
life will be wretched. He therefore entreats the borough-
reeve to do him the favour to grant him his protection in
this sad affair. Being too ill, he says, to write in the first
instance himself, he had commissioned his sister to make
known his intentions to Mr. Beale. That letter not com-
ing direct from himself, it had not been thought right to
attend to it, although it had arrived at Manchester before
he interment. After repeating his request, and his assur-
ance of " eternal acknowledgment," M. de Beriot adds in
a postscript, that his relative M. de Fiennes, who would
present the letter, wait authorised to represent himself (de
Berint) in Manchester.
Meanwhile the Festival Committee, a few days ago, ad-
dressed a letter to the Clergy of the Collegiate Church,
requesting to know what was the course necessary to obtain
the requisite permission from the proper ecclesiastical au-
thorities for the exhumation of the body. The Reverend
Richard Parkinson, M.A., one of the Fellows, accord-
ingly wrote to Mr. Warde, Deputy Registrar of the Ec-
clesiastical Court of Chester, and that functionary, in his
reply, states that the corpse cannot be legally disinterred,
without a faculty, which instrument, he adds, is usually
granted in these cases by the Chancellor of the diocese (the
Rev. R. Raikes), merely upon petition, unless a caveat is
entered against it. This letter Mr. Parkinson communi-
cated yesterday (through the Boroughreeve) to Mr. Beale
and the Musical Committee, and we understand that the
Rev. Gentleman has also promised to transmit a copy of
Mr. Ward's letter, through Mr. J. F. Foster, to the cou-
rier and relation of M. de Beriot. We understand that
the Festival Committee met again to-day, and we presume
that they will then decide as to the propriety of entering a
caveat against the issuing of any faculty for the disinterment
of the remains of Madame Malibran de Beriot.
• Vceu means rather an earnest wish than a vow.

RAISING OF THE RED ROVER.

Immediately after the collision between the Magnet and
Red Rover steam-vessels, an application was made by the
proprietors to the Lords of the Admiralty, requesting the
use of gear from the dockyard at Sheerness, for the pur-
pose of raising' the latte:t tessel, On Wednesday morning
an order from the Admifaity to that effect was received by
Admiral Fleming, the Port-Admiral, who immediately
directed that every assistance should be rendered the pro-
prietors in furtherance of their purpose. During that day
:,,ltains, coals, &c., were got out. On Thurs-
day Messrs. Brown, Wiggins, and Jones, the
owners o Jted lioyeTi accompanied by Wallace, Bell,
ar
and WOO, Vie Whitstable and Herne Bay divers, pro-
ceed.,l in the :t..er Johnny steamer to the wreck,
description. They were
with Cliairig dfo or
shortly afterwards joirieu tly ternmoving lighters
from his Majesty's Dock-yard, %chid) were sneed,ilY
moored one on each side of the spot where tin:
sunken vessel was lying. The divers then shackled four
lengths of two-irich cable chains, one to each end of the
paddle-box beams, after which they swept her fore and aft.
A man named James Dowries, who until within the last
year was a labouring man at Herne Bay, thee offered to
descend and fasten a chain round the engines of the Red
Royer, which he contended would be a far more effectual
mode of raising her then any other. The proprietors
knowing that he had latterly 13citi great attention to the
raising of vessels, and also that he had fer six hours been
engaged in examining the engine, &c., of the City of Can-
terbury steamer, which is afire simile of the Red Boyer,
gladly accepted the offer. Dowries having put on a pa-
tent safety dress, accordingly descended shortly before
five o'clock, and astonishing to say, accomplished his Her-
culean task, haying rivetted a massive chain rourid the
shaft and frame-work of the engines, in the space of
one hour and three-quarters, during the whole of which
time he was under water. On being drawn up he appeared
much exhausted, his hands being severely cut, aid his
person otherwise injured. The order was then given for
weighing, and we arc happy to say that the project an-
swered completely, for at seven o'clock the vessel was afloat.
The greatest praise is due to Downes for his exertions, it
being the first time any vessel was raised in such a manner.
It has been ascertained that at the time of the accident the
Red Rover was pursuing her right position, being within
three-quarters of a mile of the Nore Light, a course which
she would have taken had it been the clearest day. During
yesterday she was towed towards Sheerness, where she is
expected to arrive in the courso of this day. Several other
steamers and other craft were in attendance, to witness the
interesting spectacle.

MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK.

DEPLORABLE LOSS OF LIFE.

Extract of a letter from a merchant at the Havannab, to
a gentleman at Portstrenithi dated Gth September last :
" During my long residence iii this city, I scarcely, if
ever, remember a shipwreck more disastrous and afflicting
in its consequenvs than one which has occurred a few
days previous to my writing, upon our coast, about fifteen
leagues to the eastward, and which has caused a very consi-
derable and painful sensation here, us I have no doubt it
has at several ports at the west end of the island of Ja-
maica. In consequenet of some of the survivors of the ill-
fated vessel being at present in our city, with whom I have
conversed respecting the melancholy catastrophe, I am
enabled to state particulars that may be relied on. It ap-
pears that on the 24th of August, the Medusa, a fin.' barque
of three hundred and twenty tons burden, commanded by
Captain James O'Neil, sailed from Port Morant, at the
'ast side of Jamaica, for Kinsale, in Ireland ; her cargo
of rum, sugar, indigo, pimento, and cedar ; she
consistsj
embarked I t
abrn and eight steerage paSsengers, the for-
mer of which were I:2.rnilies of great respectability ; she was
manned with a crew of It ; ood hands, independent of the
Captain and Mates. It was the intention of Cap-
tain O'Neil to go home by the windward passage,
between Saint Domingo and Margeetta, and for
several days the Medusa was beating i 0 windward
to effect her purpose, but owing to strong north-
east gales which prevail in these latitudes at this season of
the year, he was unable to proceed, and when distant about
six leagues from Cape Tiberon, the westermost point of St.
Domingo, he bore up, and resolved to go the leeward pas-
sage through the Graph of Florida, and by the banks
of Newfoundland. In the vessel's passage to the east-
ward of Jamaica she encountered very tremendnus wea-
ther, and the Captain endeavoured either to make Port
Royal, or Bluefields, but was unable. On the night -cf the
Ist of September the Medusa passed a large merchant ves-
sel totally dismasted, but from the heavy sea that was rtni--
ning at the time, they were unable to speak each other.
The distressed vessel fired signals of distress. On the
morning of the 2d of September, no traces of her was to
be seen from the topgallant-mastheads of the Medusa, who
was still going before the wind at 13 knots, under a close-
reefed foresail and mizen staysail. At this time the Mon-
tego Bag was to leeward considerably, and before darkness
on the 2d the land of the Grand Caymans was discerned
through the thick haze. At this time the weather had in-
creased to a mere hurricane, and the Medusa laid-to
with her head to the wind, under two storm trysails,
with her topgallant-'oasts struck. During the night of
the second, the most I.atense anxiety and, fearful ap-
prehensions prevailed on board. Captain O'Neil not
having a thorough knowledge of this move°, greatly dreaded
the Grand Cayman, the land of whit.' is so remark-
ably low that it cannot be seen until close upot; it. Under
all the critical circumstances the Captain found InOself in,
he thought it advisable to put the ship before the wino, and
heave up for this port. At midnight, on the 2d September,
land was discovered on the starboard bow. This proved
by the charts to be the Isle of Pines, off the East end of
our Island (Cuba). Considerable consternation took place
on board at this discovery, as the land in question laid
dead to leeward.' The ship was put about with great dif-
ficulty, and an offing was eventually gained, The appre-
hensions of the crew and passengers were now greatly
allayed, as the most lively hopes were entertained that no
disaster would occur before day-light, when the situation of
the vessel would be known, and steps taken for her safety.
The gale continued with unabated fury, accompanied by so
heavy a sea that it was expected the decks would be swept
fore and aft. Between two and three o'clock these fears
were realized by a heavy sea coming over the lee quarters,
disabling the wheel and carrying away her coops, carpen-
ter's chest, and other things on the poop. A few minutes
after another of greater magnitude came over the windward
side of the vessel, nearly amidship, the effects of which
proved dreadful ; the ship's carpenter and cook were carried
overboard and perished ; with them went the life and
jolly-boats, also the caboose, and a number of casiaa ; the
whole of the starboard bulwarks were carried away by the
same sea : to this was attributed the subsequent loss of the
unfortunate vessel, and calamitous results, as the vessel
now became unmanageable and drove bodily to leeward.
The Captain was aware that the land of Cuba must lay
close to leeward, and all hope of escaping destruction be-
fore daylight was now given up. The scene that followed
(as described by one of the survivors) can only be imagined
by those who have been in similar dreadful situations—all
was anarchy and horror on board ; between three and four
o'clock breakers were distinctly discerned on the starboard
bow, and now the mere shadow of hope that previously
existed fled ; all subordination now ceased on board, every
one thought of the best expedient to give himself a chance
of preservation. Signals of distress were fired, but they
were only wasted amidst the tumult of tic contending ele-
ments. The Captain ordered the masts to be cut away,
which was done by the few who were sufficiently collected
to still obey his orders. This cased the vessel, but she
still drove towards the " breakers," the foam pf which
had an awfully grand appearance. The Captain )new
the land to be the island of Cuba, but was ignoraCt
on what part of the coast the vessel was driving on.
Had not the boats been washed over, in the sea that
was running they could not have been of any avail in
the preservation of human life, as they could not have
existed through the heavy surf that was furiously rush-
ing over the breakers. A little after three o'clock,
as near as could be judged, the unfortunate ship struck,
her starboard bow first taking the ground, and im-
mediately afterwards she was thrown upon her beam-
ends, the sea making complete breaches over her deck.
One universal scene of destfuction took place, in a few
minutes after the first dreadful shock, only four souls of
the whole ship's company, crew, and passengers survived,
and these wretched men were some of many who lashed
themselves to spars, and committed their fates to the waves ;
they were picked up on the beach after daylight by some
Spaniards, in a mutilated and exhausted state ; three of
them were 'seamen, the fourth a steerage-passenger of the
name of Doherty. The vessel struck upon the " Callaro-
does," an extensive sand-bank, lying about half a mile off
the main land. The day after the wreck, more than twenty
bodies were washed on the beach, as also a quantity of the
cargo ; most of the latter became the booty of the Spa-
niards on that part of the coast. The cabin passengers
consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Urquhart and daughter, Mr.
M'Lean, Mr. Murray and two sons (youths), Mr. Oblara,
Mr. Farrell, and two other gentlemen, whose names I have
not been able to ascertain. On the night of the fatal wreck,
the Pomona, Captain Douglass, heard signals of distress,
when near Cape Corrientes ; but, from the state of the
weather, she was unable to render assistance. She was from
Jamaica, and bound to Glasgow. The four survivors arc
still here. Doherty is not expected to live. I have not
heard to whom the Mediae belonged. She had made three
previous voyages to the West Indies.

NEW WORK BY PROFESSOR HOPPUS—" TIIE
CONTINENT IN 1833."—This is a book full of instruction.
Not only does the learned professor tell us what he saw
but what he thought ; and the thoughts of such a mon
must, we are persuaded, be duly estimated. He visited all
that is usually embraced in a Continental tour, but he has
embodied in his very valuable and instructive observations
the reflections of his own highly cultivated and richly in-
formed mind. The possession of such a work is like the
company of a valued friend,who, not only directing us to what
is to be seen, but also assisting our attention in pointing it
to what is most worthy of regard. We can have no doubt
but this work will become extensively popular.

CHURCH RATES.—Ministers will sec that the
Dissenters, taking their stand upon the undeniable just:oe
of their cause—united as one man by the bond, not of
party, nor of secular interest, but of principle—fortified by
the concessions of their opponents, and supported by every
Churchman of liberal feelings, have resolved to put their
moral strength to a test, and to bring the church•rate ques-
tion to a fair issue. It will not be the fitult of the Dis-
senters if, in seeking the redress of an admitted grievance,
they come into collision with any party either in Church or
State. The Society now formed is strictly one of protection
and self-defence. Men of all parties agree to the preamble
of Lord Althorp's Bill, " Whereas it is eapedient that the
system of church-rates be discontinued."—" As to the pro.
sent system," said Lord Stanley, " I go along with the
Hon. Mernbei for Boston in condemning it to its fullest
extent !"—" If a person is not a member of the Church of
England," said the late Regius professor of Divinity at
Oxford (Dr. Burton), " I can hardly think it right to make
him pay for the repair of the fabric, or for any of the ap-
pendages of a worship in which be takes no part." Even
Sir Robert Inglis admitted, in the debate on Lord Althorp's
'Bill, that if the church•rate were a poll-tax (which it very
nearly resembles), individuals 'might with " mason and jus-
tice object to contribute towards the support of a church
entirelydissent."
from which they And Lord Stanley went
so far as to say, that if a similar rate were levied upon
Churchmen for the support of Maynooth, " individuals
would resist the payment by every means in their power."
We know not how justification of the principle upon which
the Dissenters resist the church-rate can be more triumph-
antly complete.—Patriot.
THE DESULTORY MAN."—It has seldom been
our fortune to meet with a work possessing that continuous
interest which constitutes a principal attraction in Mr.
James's new work, " The Desultory Man." Not one link
in the chain of incidents could be dispensed with, which are
individually amusing, and, as a whole, eminently calculate'
to delight. We are not saving too much in remarking that
the book once taken up, like " The Arabian Nights," will
not be laid down till the absorbed reader is recal:ed to
everyday pursuits by the emphatic hint—" finis."
