The Special Session of the peace was adjourneti
at Tliurles -on Tuesday to. Monday nett at Cl in—..
mel, where it will be opened before Mr. Prime
Setkant Moore, and a Bench of Magistrates, for
the trial of several persons under the provisi'ons of
the Insurrection Act:

The West Kent Regiment have been ordered-
from Buttevant to Fermoy, tviieVe they are tO.ar-
rive on the 18th instant ; a detachment of this 're-
gimeut is :tlso to be sent to Mallow.—(Cork Ad-
vertiser, Oct. 21.) .

It will•.be•recollecied, that some of the French
Jourttasiaffiee,Led to be•much offended that a Hay-
tiangegroYGeneral, of the name of LAPAIX,
Hatnburgh, as an agent
or envoy from CHRISTOPHE, and expressed their
hope§:tlt4•the Senate would not insult the Sove-
reign of FRANCE by recognising a rebel. The
AUStri(ll2 Observer has the following paragTaph on
the sobject, of this LAPAIX :—" he object of his
mission to Hamburgh is not yet well ascertained.
Many ssippose that one of his views is to tiny up
arms and anniutnition fOr Hayti ; but his osten-
sible business appears at present to be the forma-
tion of-commercial connections for the King, his
master.
.He has engaged at Hamburg!) a gardener
and some musicians on advantageous terms, who
are to be forwarded to-Hayti on the first oppor-
tunity. Ile. probably also wishes to establish a
Haytian Consulate at that city. This General is
an intfyiopt well-4ehaved• man. It is %veil
that'tor some time past CHRISTOPHE has
had an agent in London, 'though he has never
been actually recoguised by the Governulerg."_,

Ilr. EDITOR,--7-IVe,,ivh,, reside i!t the c6ourry

'often Surpris:e that' the iol►alricant, of large to +»,
and particularly those of the n►e:rupoliS, are :Kl le
•to explain•npaoy things, which
.appear to us as
Iny,teries. In &Posey:Once of this opinion, lam
iuthrefol to prOpOse a few queries for the 6.plan
ation of yoorsell or any. of your Correspondents.
heOre I proceed farther, it may not be deent-
'ell improper, i I srr• son►ething of myself, anti
s,tate :isous lot itial6og such entluir►es. You
„must know then, that I have lived in this'eoun-

tiy many years, and lia‘e always considered my-

self firmly aunt:lied to the Ls ahlished Church,
...rlimgh endeavouring to live upon the most 'hien*.
terms with those 11110 dissent from it..

yeiirs, ago, a Sochty was formed in one At.
large towns, called " The Strangers rrielid:S6-
~ciety.': As this Society had for its . object the
:I:clitt of distressed strangers, J readily subscribed
'my- mite to sap Port it, though my neighbour
}lig church said, all its hinds were distributed by
Met!iodists Only. Not many years after a-Sun-
day School was established, hearing the fascinating
words, '' for Children of all denominations." 1: is
hardly necessary to say, that I became a warm
sup-
porter of it, and that my friend almost as warmly
apposed it, I confess that I was sanguine enough
to imagine the beautiful prophecy of Isaiah-7
The wolf. also shall dwell with the lamb, awl
the leopard shall lie dOwn with the kid ;-,mtil the
calf and the young lion

to, be.literally fulfilled. Upon hinting this to my.
friend, 'he..surlily replied, this is ever the case with
enthusiasts who select onlyeetaiii portions of scrip -
lure ivithout considering its full scope and intent.
Why may not I apply the text of St. Matthew to
this new -fangled scheme? " Woe unto you,
scribes ".ant! plimisees, hypocrites ; fox ye compass
sea and land to make one proselyte, and when lie
is made, lemake him two-told more the child of
yourselves." Here we parted., less
.phased with each otn6i than when we met:
Society next attracted my as 1:1
bad for many years; bv.eit a subscriber to the'So
cietyfor promoting Christian Knowledge,
teed this association with my zeal much cooled.
when I saw the Auxiliary,, the Branch,
and the nobody knows what names added to. it 4
I .was afraid of tke morose diSposition of my
ft kin!, who would, I know, call many of the.

pro,_eedings " sounding a trumpet."
Afier the glorious Battle of Waterloo; 'dame a

hz.pf:esseti with- feelings like these, Mr. Editor,
you may,supposethat I read the Subscriptions,
as they were adverti'sed, with- great earnestness.
In London, I saw parishes and rich individuals
doing as. they out to do; and subscribing nobly:
in:the Country too, we were not much behind!,
had, the Church very properly taking the 11t..aAi..
) 4f %chat p'eased me more, than all toe' test, was
the great tuodcsty of many Dissenting Congrega-
tions, whose. best friends inteq acknowledge.that
they do not always abound with this grace, in not
01)I l'ild;Ug their Subscriptions npon the public no-
tice, till after all the Churches had 'published their:
good.deeds. Now, Ir. Editot, what appears [DVS-.
ttriotis to •nie is, why these Congregations pre-
serve their silence so very lotlg upon this snbject ?
NI, friend,. but Ihope he is mistaken,,says, they
intend to sheW their patriotism, riches, andnurn-
ltes,.by uniting together, and sending, up one
large stint, which shall bury in evethistiug
obli-
t-iOlt, ail the Collections of all the Churches !
lupe, they are not meditating any such thing, yet
at he saute lintel cannot but lament, that they
p.hould think it necessary, contrary to. their usual
gtuskom, to keep their candle SO long hid undera •
bushel.
