ON 'WESLEYAN LIBERALITY.

The Wesleyans have drained, we believe, above
200,0001. out of the people within the last year, by way
of celebrating the " Centenary of Wesleyanism." And
when we consider the quarterly ticket money, the weekly
pennies, and the constantly recurring collections—to-
gether with the vast sums they draw from the people to
build their meeting-houses, and otherwise to support
their unscriptural machinery—we are astonished that
the people should patiently submit to the payment of so
heavy an annual tax upon their industry, and upon their
credulity. The people are deceived and cheated out of
their money by false pretences ; but the real fact is, that
all the money which the dissenting teachers drain out of
the people, is spent for the propagation of error, false-
hood, and fanaticism.

LORD CAMPBELL.--The late Attorney-Gene-
ral, Sir John Campbell, now Baron Campbell, of St. An-
drew's, and who is the successor of Lord Plunkett as Lord
Chancellor of Ireland, is the second son of the Rev.
Dr. George Campbell. The latter was Minister of
Cupar, and no less distinguished by his piety and elo-
quence in the pulpit, than by his' attainments in polite
literature. He remained pastor of the same congrega-
tion for 54 years, and died in 1825. In 1776 he married
Magdalene, only daughter of John Hallyburton, Esq., of
the Fodderance, a branch of the ancient family of the
Hallyburtons, of Pitcur, end allied to the noble houses
of Morton, Aboyne, and Northesk.
An event which cast considerable gloom over
the inhabitants of Great Malvern took place on Wed-
nesday evening last, by an act of self-destruction com-
mitted by a young lady named Salmon. Having re-
turned on the evening in question from taking a ride,
the unfortunate lady had retired, as her friends supposed,
for the purpose of changing her dress ; but in about
five minutes her family were horrified at finding her
head nearly severed from her body—a deed which she
had effected with a razor. The cause which led to this
catastrophe is conjectured to have been a nervous affec-
tion and her contemplation of the reverses of fortune
which she and her family had expei:ienced. An inquest
was held on the body on Friday, and a verdict of " Tem-
porary insanity" returned.— Wormier Journal.
