Baptism, hal entirely abjured his errors, and been 'since licensed
to a Curacy in the diocese of the Bishop of Bristol. In one of
hie recent letters to the Bishop, he says, " I see most clearly that •
in the Scriptures there is not one single instance of persons ep-
pointing themselves Teachers, nor of a congregation selecting its
own Teacher according to the manner of the Disienters; but that
the Apostles either laid hands on the Elders themselves, or estab-
lished a person to do so under their authority, as in the instance
of Titus, who was expressly left at Crete for that purpose, that.,
he might ordain the Elders in every city acivrding to the Aposioli
appointment."

Loss OF THE SHIP VALETTA.—Brtue 1
corn-
f
the ship Valetta, 800 tons burden, a private Indium%
mended by John William Phillips, an island and reefofeoral rock, •
in latitude 21 deg. south,, longitude 143 deg. east, hitherto un-
known, were discovered on the 10th of July, 1825. It appeal.
from a Bengal paper, and from private letters, that the Vidalia
Sailed from Port Jackson to New South Wales, on the 13th of
Joe, in ballast; had a prosperous voyage till the 10th of Joll;
but on the evening of that day, the, wind suddenly shifted, and
bleb'very strong, from ,the north. Breakers and a reef being &s-
-cried, every, exertion to work the ship off were made, but a trel
menilous swell baffled the most skillful efforts, and she struck so
forcibly oil the reef, as to occasion the loss of her rudder. WO t
much hazard, an anchor was got put, and many articles- thrown
overboard, which so effectually floated the vessel, that they me-
cessfully brought her into a safe cove, with no less than eight-,ket
water in her hold. By hauling the ship up, on examination, it
was found, that any attempt to repair such material injury Would
be deemed nugatory. There being no alternative, she +was reluv
tautly abandoned ; and a ,ship's boat (conjectured the launch) was
equipped, add after a sojottrnment of ninety-two days on the island
they proceeded on their destination to Calcutta, where they safely
arrived. No mention has been made of inhabitants. There can
exist no doubt of the accuracy. of survey of this discovery ; Mr.
Phillips being an intelligent gentleman, a Lieutenant in the Royal
Navy, and nephew to the late Rear-Adittiral Burney, who tccortv'
pulled Captain Cook on his two last voyages.

DREADFUL SUICIDE.-011 Friday afternoon, -
most determined act of self-destruction was committed by a yo"'ut
man about 25 years of age, named Johnson, an ivory-turner, re
siding in Mitchel-street, Brick-lane, Old-street. The father t't
the dectaied had for many years carried on an extensive business
in the same line, near Old-street ; but from a Succession of domes-
tic calamities, which partially affected his intellect, he had heel)*
compelled to tranifer it into the hands of a son-in-lacy,wit!'
whom, since that time, the deceased had been employed as a w;
neyman. These circumstances, added to the badness of the t
ray
generally, and a coldness of behaviour on the part of his brothel'
in-law, of which the deceased often complained, brought et
pression of spirits which had been visible for limelime, months p.
during which period lie made two ineffectual attempts to

once by hanging himself to the bed-tester, from which
was extricated by the, presence of mind of his wife, who cut hit°
down, and again by taking i quantity of oxalic acid, Which 04°
