There is a rumour that a great personage is
opposed to Church Reform. This, if true, the country
would seriously deplore. But, let who will be opposed to
it, the thing is inevitable, because indispensable. •
There is a report that Lord DUCIE is dead.
Should this prove true, there will he a vacancy in the re-
presentation of the eastern division of Gloucestershire, by
the elevation of Mr. MORETON to the House of Peers,—

The " grand " night at the theatre, under
the patronage of Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL and his
Committee, on Saturday last, produced the amazing sum
of 181. striking proof of the popularity of the newly
chosen representative.—Kent Herald.
A " True Blue" at a sea-port in East Kent
says, that some of the electors were bribed with three
guineas each by the KNATCHBULL party to stay away
from the hustings after having promised to vote for Sir
Wriaram COSWAY. Yet the Tories had the assurance
to hoist a standard at this place with the motto " Free-
dom of election." He adds that they almost went down
upon their knees to himselt in order to induce him to re-
tract his promise.—. Kent Herald.

Extract of a letter from Liberia (Africa),
dated Sept. 29.—" I have had the pleasure of seeing and
conversing freely with Was. LANDER, the great African
traveller, one of the agents in the expedition fi,ted out by
some English merchants to explore the river Niger. He
gave me much very interesting informaion respecting
the interior of this country. He says about 500 miles
back there is one of the healthiest countries in the world,
entirely exempt from those fogs which affect so injuriously
the health of those near the sea coast ; that no dew falls
there, and the soil produces every luxury of vegetation.
We are well situated and doing well. The spirit of im-
provement seems daily to increase in our town, which is
spreading fast. Our commerce is getting so extensive tha-
our merchants are building large warehouses ; three are
erecting at this time, one of which, of stone, s 100 feet
long, Not a week passes without an arrival in our har-
bour."

AWFUL ACCIDENT—A private I°l
T ales mentions to us a distressing accideoit
curred, on Saturday last, in the neighbourboo°4
n y, in which two lives were lost, and the safrA.'
valuable life endangered. On Saturday 00;
MORGAN JOHN O'CONNELL, of Grena, eel"
his relative, Mr. HUMPHREY MOYNIHAN,
a shooting excursion. In proceeding to th
ground, they had to cross the Flesk river, tbo
tulles from Killarney, by a ferry which is co°,
rope thrown across the stream, and a boat SO',
which is worked by a sliding ring and rope,
ferryman to guide it more steadily. The river"
swollen by the late rains, and the current red..,
inely rapid, so that it was thought prudent trt
O'CONNELL, the ferryman, and a poor fem
t passake, should attempt it at first. It is
ferryman was intoxicated, out by some accident
of the main rope, the boat was swung froni j
and he flung overboard. Mr. O'CONNELL
every exertion in his power to rescue the
man, and had nearly succeeded, when the r. -
I.cor fellow to get into the boat, filled it 04
swamped it. The woman clung to the
minutes, but overpowered by alarm, benum 4
