WEST KENT ELECTION.

him on this occasion and also during his canvass. He re-
gretted that there were not more of his opponents present,
for he should not flinch from stating his political opi-
nions, and he almost regretted that his late honourable
opponent had not gone to the poll, for he really believed
if he had done so it would have prevented any probabi-
lity of a contest in future, as the majority that the Con-
servatives would havebbtained, would have convinced the
Radicals that they had no chance whatever in thjst county.
—(Cheers.) He would not pledge himself to the electors
any more than this, that if they thought he did not, in Par-
liament, ;set up to his professions, the sooner they
turned him out the better. He was a staunch supporter
of the Throne, and, of course, at the same time, the
Church, and, in upholding the union of the Church and
State, he did it on the most conscientious grounds, be-
lieving that if the Church was deserted, all the nume-
rous sects of religion now in existence would struggle
for the mastery with each other, and'a spirit of complete
anarchy and turbulence would prevail ; and he was con-
vinced that it was to the interest of all that the full
union of Chnrch and State should be maintained ; and
they might be assured that no Government could exist
without the blessing of God on .it. These being his
opinions, they would not, of course, be surprised to hear
that he was a firm opponent of her Majesty's present
Government, who had done more to injure the Church,
in the first place, than any other set of men in the coun-
try, and the Prime Minister himself admitted that the
measure he sanctioned would be a heavy blow to
Protestantism,—(Hear, hear.) His late opponent -ex-
plained that by this was meant Protestantism in
'lreland ; and he attempted to make out that
Protestantism in Ireland and Protestantism in England
were very different' things, but he must confess that he
could not understand the distinction. This was their
conduct to the Church, and he was prepared to contend
that they had done their best to injure her Majesty in
the eyes of her faithful subjects, and he himself knew
that in some -parts of the country the candidates who
supported Lord Melbourne canvassed the different dis-
tricts as the Queen's candidates, and a more unconiti-
tntional use of the name of her Majesty. could not pos-
sibly be conceived. Her Majesty's Ministers had also
done more than any other set of men to injure the Con-
stitution, but thank God they had not succeeded, and
the more they tried to do so the more they were beaten.
The Hon. Baronet then alluded to the foreign policy of

the Government, and said that their conductinalloWing
poor M'Leod to be confined as an American prisoner
merely,for ?gallantly doing his duty to his Sovereign was
a stain upon the honour of the nation, and he said that
all the proceedings of the Government showed it to be
an incapable and unprincipled Administration, and he
cited their conduct in reference to the Irish Tithe Bill
and the Corn-laws in support Of.his assertion. The Go-
vernment was now on its trial for the third time. Upon
the Jamaica question they pleaded guilty, and retired
for a short time to be brought back by their ladies, when,
as the 'electors would recollect, Lord Brougham said that
it was the first time in the history of the country that
the Ladies of the Bedchamber had been made political
engines ; and he added, that although the one half went
out, the better halves remained. in.—(Laughter.) Their
own House of Commons had said it had no confidence in
them, and they now appealed to the nation, and felt con-
vinced that th'e great Court of the people would confirm
the verdict that had been given against them.—(Cheers.)
LordMEasult.ii next addressed the electors and thanked
them most cordially for the high honour they had con-
ferred Upon hind. by returning him- as their representa-
tive, and he could hardly have expected that this would
have taken place .without a contest. He hardly hoped
that under existing circumstances, the Conservatives
would have been able to make a sufficient demonstratiin
to. deter their adversaries from coming forward, and to
have induced Mr. Hodges to resign, but from the returns
of the canvass he was induced to believe that gentleman
had adopted the most proper and honourable course as
he would not have had the slightest chance of success.—
(Cheers.) They were aware of his political opinions,
and it 'Would be unnecessary to go into them, at any
length ;
.he had no past services to refer to or
to give any . account of, and they must,
therefore wait until he had had a trial ; and
he assured them that he should always act up to the
principles upon which they had returned him as their
representive. He could only assure them that up to this'
time in his magisterial capacity, he had endeavoured to
administer justice equally to all, and to perform his duty
conscientiously, and they might depend that in. hisplace
in the House of Commons he would do all in his power
to carry out good ;laws for the benefit.of them all. He
was ardently attached to the Constitution, and he would
defend it to the utmost of his power, because he believed
it was the best bulwark for the protection of all their

The nomination of the candidates to represent this di-
vision of Kent, took place yesterday, on Penenden Heath.
During the last day or two it was announced that Mr.
David Salomons intended to come forward and oppose
the Conservative candidates, and the rumour obtained
some credence, and a good many of the electors believed
that he would appear at. the hustings, and this gave the
proceedings some additional interest.
The candidates, Sir. E.Filmer and Lord Mersham, were
escorted to the place of nomination by a very numerous
body of nobleman and carriages, and it was calculated
that there were at least five thousand persons present.
J. BEHRENS, Esq. proposed' Sir Edward Filmer as one
of the knights whom 'her Majesty had that day called
them together to elect, to represent them in the ensuing
Parliament.—(Loud cheers..) The splendid spectacle
before him showed clearly that the :Conservative opi-
nion entertained by Sir E. Filmer were those of the great
majority of the electors, and he congratulated them
most sincerely that the people of Kent at length saw
their error, and they were. now about to retrieve it,
_ _

interests. • He would endeavour by all means to educate
the people, but he would at the same time resist all those
rash experiments which many were attempting to drive
on for the purpose of oversetting all the ancient institu-
tions of the country. In his opinion the various
schemes of religion that had been recently set
afloat, were the offspring of Jesuitism, having
for their object, the destruction of the Pro-
testant faith, in order that Popery and all its horrors
might be restablished in England. He came forward as
an opponent to a Government which had thrown itself
into the arms of :a party,•avowedly, seeking the destruc-
tion of the institutizns of the country, and he also came
forward to represent the feelings of the Conservative
majority in the county, and the result of the election
showed clearly what was the predominant feeling of the
electors. The Noble Lord then avowed himself an op-
ponent of the Government projects in reference to corn,
&c., and expressed his opsnion tin* ina country that was
so heavily burdened with debt, protection was absolutely
necesary,,and that without it, it would be impossible to
compete with the untaxed labour of foreign countries,
and he concluded by again returning thanks to the elec-
tors for the honour they had cogerred upon him by re-
turning him as their representative.
A vote of thanks was then carried unanimously to the
High Sheriff, and after three cheers had been given for
the Queen, and three for the Members who had just been
returned, the eledtors separated. -

LEWES, ' JULY • 6.—Mr. Shelley was nominated this
day, and was most flithusiastically received. The poll-
ing was fixed for Friday and Saturday next, and the at-
tendance of the voters required at the respective polling
places.

BIRMINGHAM.—We are assured, on very good autho-
Tity, that although there was a contest of unusual seve-
rity at Birmingham last week, the successful candidates
have been returned entirely free of expense. The trifling
costs in each ward were defrayed by the Ward Com-
mittees, and the General Commiteee did not expendmore
than about 200/., which was the amount of the•legal dis-
bursements.--Birinnigham Paper.
LIVERPOOL CANDIDATES.—This town has furnished,its
full quota of candidates for seats haParliament, who have
fought' the battle on both sides, . with various success.
Our former representative, Mr. Ewart, has been re-
turned for, the .Dumfries Burghs, by a handsothe
majority ; his co-candidate for Liverpool, Mr. Thor-
nely, has .again been elected at Wolverhampton
without a contest, in a manner most honourable to him-
self and the consitituency ; and our townsman, Mr. Rigby
Wason, has once more been victorious at Ipswich. The
Liverpool Conservative candidates have been less suc-
cessful. Mr.-Tinne, who was spoken of for Coventry
and Barnstaple, neveicame to the poll, neither did Mr.
Sandbach, who was mentioned as one of the candidates
for Chester, The, Gladstones, who came out in great
force, only carried one seat (at Newark), and that.by the
favour of the,Duke of Newcastle. Mr. Thomas Glad-
stone, who has, in turn, represented the defunct 'consti-
tuencies of Queenborough, as well those of Leicester
and Portarliugton, wasdefeated at Peterborough, and his
brother, Mr. John -Gladstone, who lately succeeded at
Walsall, was defeated on the same ground. Mr. Card-
well, the barrister, the nephew and heir of the Rev. Mr.
Cardwell, of this town, was equally unsuccessful at Cli-
theroe.—Liverpool Paper.

by returning two Conservative Members to Parliament:
For many years they• had been mis-represented by a
Whig, but they had at length returned to the right path,
in support of the Church and the other institutions of the
country.
Mr. HOARE seconded the nomination, and said he
could assert, without any fear of contradiction, that if a
contest had taken place, Sir Edward Filmer would have
been placed at the head of the poll, and the Noble Lord,
the second candidate, would not have been twenty votes
behind him. The conduct of the Hon. Gentleman who
had retired from the contest, in supporting two of the
free trade propositions of her Majesty's Government, and
his general support of .the Administration, had created
such a feeling of hostility to his opinions in the breasts
o J,eila ttheloal and patriotic electors of West Kent, that he
not have had the slightest chance of being re-
turned
if' he had gone to the poll. In the districts of

that they would be sacrificing all their
by a Con-
by lending themselves to the support of
Ad-
ministration, and they almost unanimously determinedg
upon replacing their late Whig representative'
servative.—(Cheers.)
Col. AUSTEN then proposed Lord Mersham, and said
that his high talents and his great assiduity in the per-
formance of the public duties that devolved upon him
were so -highly appreciated by the county, that any ob-
servations from him upon the subject would be quite un-
necessary, and when the high and honourable character
of the Noble Lord in private life was superadded to those
qualifications, he had not the least doubt of his being
elected to the honour to which he aspired of representing
the 'county in Parliament.
Sir W. GEARY seconded the nomination, and said, he
congratulated the county, and the country at large, that
they had become aware of the delusion that was intended
to be practised upon them. They had not forgotten the
glittering promises of peace, retrenchment, and reform
made by the present Ministry when they took office, and
they had had ample opportunities of seeing what was the
result. The man they required to represent that great
county should be a man of integrity and honour—one
who would support measures and not men, and above all,
one determined to uphold their glorious Constitution in
Church and State. Such a man was Lord Mersham, and
he had therefore great pleasure in seconding his nomi-
nation.

LINDSEY NOMINATION.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) .
LINCOLN, JULY s.—Not less than 10,000 freeholders
assembled in the Castle Yard this day. Lord Worsley
surpassed himself in a powerful, clear, and manly
speech, which was listened' to with the utmost attention,
and made a deep impression on all the yeomanry pre-
sent. His " Conservative " opponents, Messrs. Chris-
topher and Cust, were lamentabiy in the back-ground ;
the former saying little, and that little of the weakest
and tamest description,'and the latter still less ; in good
truth, literally nothing. Whatever may be the pre-
tensions and talent of the juvenile scion of the house
of Belton in the Horse Guards, on the hustings he
is assuredly not at home. Never in the whole course
of our experience (and in our time we have seen many
a pitiful exhibition) did we witness such a miserable
specimen of would-be senatorial oratory. Talk of Mr.
Dawney, he is eloquence and wisdom itself contrasted
with the Honourable Charles Henry Cust. Many farmers,
who had been 'deluded by the gross misrepresentations
recently circulated by Tory dealers • in lies, disgusted
with the exhibition of Cust,land delighted-with his Lord-
ships' manly, Clear'now
and consistent speech, have
come forward and avowed themselves his warm sup-
porters. On a show of hands, the majorty was at least
ten.to one in favour of Worsley and Reform.

SOUTH LINCOLNSHIRE.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
SLEAFORD, JULY s.—At the nomination for Lindsey, on
the hustings, yesterday, Sir W. A. In gilby, Bart., after cha-
racterising H. Handley, Esq., late M.P. for Kesteven, as the
best Member that ever sat in Parliament, announcedhis
determination to nominate that gentleman on Wednesday
next, at Sleaford, in opposition to the dictatorial attempts
of Charles Chaplin, Esq., of Blankney, to foist upon " the
free and independent electors " two Conservative repre-
sentatives in the persons of Christopher Turner, Esq.,
paid Sir John Trollope, Bart. The object of the Tories
in this proceeding is manifest. Sir Robert Peel
is doubtless at the bottom of it, Lord Brownlow, by the
will of Sir Abraham Hume, being prohibited from in-
heriting certain lands, excepting on condition of his being
elevated to a Marquisate; and having no chance under a
Whig Administration, is doubly anxious to establish a
Tory reign. Lord Willoughby de Eresby, too, has
joined in this most disinterested opposition, in the hope
of being created Duke of Ancaster. And has not Charles
Chaplin an eye to the title' of " Baron of Blankney ?"

UNGANNON BOROUGH ELEC-
TION.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
This day, for the first time for centuries past, was
this borough contested by Mr. Falls against Lord North-
land and the Carlton Club. The contest continued dur-
ing the day, and at the, close Northland stood 56, Falls
52, which left 4 majority in favour of Lord Northland,
owing to the delay of the Magistrates swearing in the
Roman Catholics. Immediately on the announcement of
his Lordship being so closely. hunted, the mob com-
menced breaking 'the houses and wißdows of those who
supported Mr. Falls. Upwards of fifty houses are 4*,
.
etroyed, and property to a Larg,e .araoat was carried ok:

The HIGH SHERIFF then inquired whether any other
candidate was to be proposed, and being answered in the
negative, he declared that Sir E. Filmer and Lord Mer-
sham were duly elected.
Sir EDMUND FILAIER then came forward and was re-
ceived with the greatest enthusiasm. He said that little
more was now left for him to do than to thank the elec-
tors for the cordial manner in which they had received

by those vagabonds. Those who should have pre-
vented it remained silent spectators of the scene.
Not a prisoner was taken, although many were
known. The mob continued to parade through the
streets during the night, to the dread of the peaceable
inhabitants for their lives, and the next morning Mr.
Falls, on hearing of such awful destruction of property,
and the risk of the lives of the remaining voters he had
to bring forward to insure his safe return, could not be
induced to go to the, poll; and after making affidavit that
the lives of his voters were threatenel if t'le.y attempted
to poll, very properly came to the resolution not to go
on, and Lord Northland was elected. .

His Lordship had for several days been regaling the
Orangemen and tenantry at every cross road through
the country with bread and whiskey. It will sound
well in Parliament that 3,000 persons were collected,
and armed with sticks cut in the park. After they had
done their work, they were regaled in the public streets
with bread and beer. Much to the credit of Mr. Falls,
he would not allow a single friend of his to be sent
through the streets, or their lives would have been sa-
crificed. We trust the Irish Government will cause a
public investigation into such disgraceful proceedings on
the part of Lord Northland and his Committee.

WARWICK.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

-
SlR—The election for. South Warwickshire has terminated,
and the cid Tories are returned, but you will be pleased to
learn that our electors feel their own degradation, and that a
gentle hint has this morning been given which, if carefully
followed up, must convince our nominal members that their
minds must expand, and ,that they must become more truly
"liberal" in feefing, when on the next occasion they seek the
support of their constituents.
'rhe contemptuous, manner in which they endeavoured to
" walk' over the course "—has disgusted their own supporters,
and the enthusiastic ewe's. which followed the nomination of
Mr. Bradley area sufficient indication of the feelings of the
electors of this division, who are desirous of being represented
by men indepehdent in principle, and who are determined on
any future opportunity to.support such candidates.
I have only to add that the thanks returned by Mr. Shirley,
were simply and distinctly those of a man who thought " he
could do what he liked with his own."

GAINS AND LOSSES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Monday Evening.

Stu,—lf you really wish4o give your readers a true account
of the gains and losses of both parties in England and Wales,
you will not be sorry to receive the following corrections.
Giving the Liberals a gain in South Shieles, which I consider
very questionable, seeing that Ingham voted against Sir 11.
Peel on the Non-confidence. question, the gain over the
whole boroughs (not including Cardigan), is exactly eight,
and not four, to the Conservatives. You have omitted the
following :

Douglas,. ,Rochester.
Viscount Chelsea, Reading.
Hamilton, Newport.
Lawson, Knaresborough.
Mainwaring, Denbigh, and Crawford, Rochdale, are no
gains to either party, both the seats being held by the same
side in the last Parliament., The numbers really stand thus ;

Conservative gains.

being previously held by a Whig.

numerous details which are to be taken into account.]

AWFUL CALAMITY.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,-It is with pain I inform' you of an awful catastrophe
which has occurred this afternoon, in the boat-yard of Air.
Chambers. A vessel waslaunched at about three o'clock,
and, shocking to relate, she upset ; the number underneath
cannot at present be ascertained. She lays at present so.
There are about twenty got out drowned, and how many more
the Almighty Disposer of human events alone can tell.• At
the time I write this, they are carrying them past my house
in almost overy shape, some dead, and some, I am afraid, never
to be here for long.
I remain, yours respectfully.

Ring of Bells, Rotherham, July 3, 1841. _

P.S.—The greater part of them are children. Chambers'
boat-yard is in Masborough, in the parish of Rotherham.
Thirty-two are taken out. The vessel was launched side-way.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
SHEFFIELD, JULY 5, HALF-PAST SEVEN, P.M.

I have just time to write you to state that a dreadful acci-
dent occurred this afternoon at Rotherham, near Sheffield.
In launching a new boat from the stocks with upwards of
150 people on board, she fell over, and went keel up, forcing
the whole into the water.. Upwards of 50 bodies have
already been taken out, and at the time I write the seven o'clock
train is just in, and from the most authentic source I learn
that they were fishing up bodies at the rate of one every three
or four minutes.

[Rotherham is a ,market town in the West Riding of York-
shire, about six miles north7east of Sheffield, situate in a valley
near the confluence of.the small river Rother, and the Don,
which runs by Doncaster. It contains about 5,000 inhabitants,
and is celebrated for the iron works of Walkei and, Co., where
cannon of the largest calibre are cast. = The iron bridges of Sun.
derland and Staines were cast at this place. The coal and iron
are chiefly supplied from mines in the neighbourhood. A con-
siderable trade in various other articles is carried on by the
river to Doncaster and
.Hull. In the neighbourhood is Went-
worth-house, the magnificeatresidence of Earl Fitzwilliam.]

POST-OFFIOE.

beg the following insertion in your impartial
journal, viz., that it is high time that the Post-office
authorities 'Were acquaint ea with the irregularity in the
time of delivering letters in the suburbs of the town,
Southsea, Kingston, &c. It is actually a fact that
within a quarter of an hour's walk from the general
office to Southsea, (or say '2O minutes) letters are not de-
livered until 11 o'clock A. 11., whereas the London mail
arrives between five and sir A.M. It appears there is
not a sufficient number of letter-carriers, as I have seen
these men on their feet from nine till after„ten o'clock,
from six till nearly nine. As an inhabitant of this town,
in accordance with others, I consider it requisite that the
General-Inspector, or Postmaster of this town, should
look more to their duty, in order for the public to re-
ceive that accOmmodation which is required. .

VICTIMS OF THE YEOMANRY.
(From the Nottingham Mercury,)
The following is an imperfect list of the persons who
were injured• by the Yeomanry on Monday ;
John Richards, Bellar-gate, head cut,
James Parkins, Rid-strM, head and face cut, and leg
injured.
James Bamford, Leen-side, head cut.
Michael Flannigan, Narrow-marsh, face cut and side
injured:
Thomas Porter, Lenton, arms severely bruised,
George Patchitt, Narrow-marsh, arm injured.
George Mann, Wood-street, leg injured,
Richard Daft, Vreeman-street, head cut,
Richard Hall, Richmond-street, head much bruised.
William Spray, Cambridge-street, face injured.
William Whitehead, York-court, Millstone -lane,
kno,ked down by one of the yeomanry, and rode over,
head anti left side much injured.
- Job Tarter, Carlton, aged N, injured on the right
arm, and suffering from the kick of a horse.
lhomasWetherall, Kimberley, aged 65, much bruised,
and also suffering from kick of a horse.
James East, framework-knitter, aged 17, was walking
quietly up Bottle-lane, but unfortunately for himself, he
had a small piece of yellow ribband in his hand, this was
sufficient to arouse the blood-thirsty feelings of the yeo-
manry, and several galloped after him, one of whom, by
a violent blow on the head, felled him to the ground, and
then rode over him—head and face very severely cut, and
body much bruised with the horses' feet.
Six or seven were dressed. at Mr. Attenburrow's, one
of whom was carried there quite senseless. Mrs. Atten-
burrow, like a ministering angel, after the poor fellow's
wounds were dressed, gave them tea and coffee.
Mr. Robert Davison also dressed three persons, one of
whom was very seriously injured.
An old, pensioner who saw. the yeomanry onslaught,
exclaimed, " Well, I've been in many a battle, but such a
murderous scene as this I never witnessed in my life—
'Tis-well for the ruffians lam not armed." Does not
this speak volthies ?

THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND. IS
THE POOR MAN'S CHURCH,
" And all for love, and nothing for reward,"
As is evident from the following statement, showing
the small stipends for which the clergy undertake the
care of the souls of their flock
Archbishop of Canterbury £2o,ooo—Poor fellow !
Archbishop of York l2,ooo—Disigterested man !
Bishop of Durham l9,ooo—Self-denyispastor I
} What straits for the
Bishop of London 14,000 poor Man's sake !
Bishop of Winchester
Bishop of. Ely 11,000.$ minded !
Five more poor men's Bishops 5,000/. to 6,0001. a-piece
—how apostolic ! Six more successors of the Apostles,
3,0001. to 4,0001. a-piece—how poverty-strickdn ! Six
again upwards of 2,000/. a-piece—how like the early
teachers of Christianity ! Iwo, 1,500/. a-piece—One,
924/.—" They wandered about in sheep-skins and goat-
skins !" Besides a host of rectors, vicars, &c. &c., with
500/. t0_2,000/. a-year !
These figures speak more than it might be prudent to
put into words, lest we should be called Infidels and irre-
ligious ; but the figures will speak. "Does this said
Church (say they) look like the poor man's Church ?
Is it not a little like the rich man's Church ? If it is
the poor man's Church, how comes this anomaly of
starving flocks, and pastors oppressed with wealth ?
Cali it the Church of the rich, and you may call it b'y
its 'right name, but do not belie the Church, and insult
the poor, by giving it the other (solemn) nickname.
To call the Bishops' Church the Church of the poor, is
to heap upon it the severest calumny, and arraign it as
...a culprit at the bar of religion and common sense. It is
the Church of the aristocracy and their youngest sons.
Were her wealth her own, this would still be true ;
but is it he own—this poor man's wealth ? Alas ! we
go from bad to worse—a large part of this wealth has
absolutely been abstracted from the poor man's pockets
too gild the liveries and emblazon the arms of the
Bishops. One-third of her tithes was set aside for
the support and relief of the poor, and was, for some
time, so applied ; but the Church has contrived to
swallow the whole, and now sends the poor man to
the workhouse for relief, if haply he may find it.
The poor man's Church ! so indeed she is, if by this is
meant that her Bishops have the poor man's money in
their pockets, and that her enormous wealth his been
so far deducted from his due—so indeed she is, for, after
filling the pockets of her dignitaries,_ who turn their backs
upon the poor, she sends forth her ill-paid and half-
starved curates into the houses of the poor, who, instead
of her enormous wealth wherewith to relieve their wants,
are, in some cases, themselves dependent npOn their
parishioners. There are six hundred livings under 60/.
a year, and five hundred more under 80/., making upwards
of one thousand livings under'Bo/., besides upwards of
five thousand curacies, averaging 80/.,and many more of
them under 50/., and this in spite of ancient laws and
usages which would ensure to every pastor a liberal sub-
sistence, but which the Church has contrived to evade. In
this sense she is, and is determined to continue, the
Church of the poor man; whorn it has been her practice
to keep as poor as she fOund him. The poor man's
Church indeed !
Whose Church is she, then ?—this State Church ? As
a State Church, chiefly of the practically infidel and ir-
religious, Sabbath-desecrating Lords'', who leave, it to
the middle classes to keep the Fourth Commandment,—
important personages in the Church, who prepare fur
the Sunday, by spending the Saturday night at the
Theatre and the Opera, in order to solemnise their
minds,—gambling, cursing, and swearing Lords and
gentry—(who dares deny it ?)—who will maintain the
Church with their lives and fortunes ! Defenders of

the Faith, who trample on the Sixth Commandment,
and take away life for a word 'Ditelling Lords ! pil-
lars of the Church ! whose hands are stained with
blood. Men who, rather than own a religion, will hire
one,—who, disliking personal religion, take up with a
national one. A State Church is nobody's Church, and
suits them exactly. They are not Episcopalians : Epis-
copalians are excellent men : their religion is not Epis-
copalian,—it is anything or nothing, only it must be na-
tional : their religion is not the Christian religion—it is
the religion of the Sovereign and his Bishops. Hence they
will fight for it, or bribe for it, or drink for it ;
and they call it the poor man's Church, because the
State is nothing without the poor man—nothing unless
he works for it and fights for it (they are fond of fight-
ing both in private and in public—it is part of their re-
ligion) ; so, without the poor man, it could not be the
State Church, \and in that case they would be without
any religion at all. Let them call it the poor man's
Church if they will—but what a pity they won't pay for
it themselves when they get all the advantage of it. The
poor man has a private religion, and is willing to pay for
it—those whose religion is public, in the matter of it,
should pay for it as well: Why should not the pnblicists
pay for their own religion, which belongs to themselves
and to nobody else ? It is to be feared their religion is
no religion at all—at least it is not a national one. Now,
since a national religion is no religion at all—it is bind-
ing upon every man, therefore, to see to it that he has a
religion of his own, and that religious freedom, or liberty
to hold his own religious views and worship, be guaran-
teed to every man.--Patriot.

FALL OF A HOUSE IN DEANSGATE, MAN'
CHESTER.—On Monday afternoon, as a number Os work-
men were engaged in taking down an old building
Deausgate, Manchester, a loud cracking. noise was heard
and the building almost immediately fell iri with a tre-
mendous crash, and in an instant nothing remained of it
but a heap of bricks, rubbish, and fragmehts Of timbers
Four of the labourers in the lower part of the hobs t had
time to make their escape, but eight others were buried
in the ruins. Strange to say, though four or five of
them were on the roof when the house fell, which is
three stories high, all were extricated from the ruins
without any loss of life, although severe injuries were
reoolved. Happily, also, no one was passing at the time.
The labourers who were employed say that the throw-
ing large tiudntities of bricks down the chimneys of the
building, previously in a very insecure state, caused the
chimneys to bulge out and give way, bringing down with
them the external walls, and, of course, with them all
the floors, beams, rafters, &C,

PIItITOditAPHIt.—Ma Atop communicated to
the Academy of Science that M. Daguerre wag (Y 3-;
cupied upon a most important series of experiments con-
nected with the improtent of photography. Thus, with
the view of increasing the sensitiveness of the prepared
plates, utij he had sected flied td the fiction Of eletitricity;
while in the camera obscure; and had then imruediately
exposed them to the rays of light: The electric fluid
had, however, made the plates too sensitive, and so much
so that the mere opening of the covering of the plate itia
side the camera obscura could not be effected rapidly
enough to prevent some portions of the impression from
being much more vivid than others. M. Daguerre had
therefore made use of a preparation not so sensitive as
that which he commonly employed, and upon again em-
ploying the force of electricity had obtained such a de-
gree of sentiveness that only the millionth part of a
second was necessary for obtaining an impression ; so
that it was not expecting too much to anticipate that,
when further improvements should be effected, the
actions of the human body might all be taken by the
Daguerreotype.
THE MARQUIS OF ANGLESEY AT PLAS
NEWYDD.—The long expected visit of the Noble Marquis to
his ancient family seat in Anglesey, took place on Saturday
last. The Pearl, his Lordship's yacht, in which he was un-
derstood to have sailed from Southampton on Wednesday,
was seen on Saturday, soon after day-break. Minute after
minute, as the guns from the pier, Porth-yr-aur, and Twt.
hill, pealed forth their loud and joyous welcome, fresh crowds
of persons, some scarcely wide awake, came running to the
Quay from every part of the town, crying out, " Where
is he ? Where is ho ?" as though each were in expec-
tancy of a parent, a brother, or a child, long absent and
long looked for, to be welcomed, and to be loved. The Noble
Marquis landed at Carnarvon under renewed salutes, and the
most. deafening and long continued cheers from the assembled
multitudes who lined the qua;', the pier, and the walls. The
Noble Marquis, on landing, passed to the castle, and spent as
short time in reviwing that noble and venerable pile, of which
he is the hereditary chief constable. After leaving his hotel,
his Lordship embarked again, and in about three quarters of an
hour, the Pearl was got under weigh, and sailed for Pla.
Newydd, at which hospitable mansion his Lordship an ived
liter a pleasant sail'of about half an hour— cornarvon He. raid,
