MR. THOMAS ROWE, METHODIST PREACHER, TO THE
,RIGHT REV. THE LORD RISIIOPDF NRWIC
.H.
LynnO , Nov 1826.
MY LORD—I trust your Lordship will pardon the applica-
tion of a stranger, on a subject of a very powerful interest to
the parties concerned; and as the case has occurred within the
diocese of Norwich, I hope this application will not be consi-
dered intrusive or irregular: An infant child, in the parish
of Middleton, near Lynn, who was baptised by the. Rev.
Mr: Rowland, a Wesleyan Minister, died on Tuesday the
' Bth of this month. The minister of the parish, the very Re-
verend Dean Wood, has refused burial on the ground of the
infant being unbaptised. A copy of the register of the child's
baptism, and also of Sir John Nicholl's judgment on a simi-
lar case, have been delivered into the hands of the minister,
and yet the very Reverend Dean persists in refusing burial-
to the child. If it were a doubtful case, or if there were
any convenient ground in which the remains of the unolfend-
ing infant could be deposited, the parents would not have
I troubled your Lordship on the occasion; but as the body to
turning ton mass of putrefaction before the eyes of its surviving
relations, and they have do where to bury the dead out of their
sight:, they earnestly entreat your Lordship's interference' I
remain, my Lord, et,e,. THOMAS ROWS.

Sir--" Days (saysTn E..folibi)susphP'ousld"Zeviatk,lhand Multitude of
years should teach wisdom." How far Dean Wood may se-
cede to the truth of this remark, as applicable to me, I dare
not venture peremptorily to decide. But lam inclined to be-
lieve, from the intercourse which has passed between us upon
former occasions, he will not be indisposed to pay some defer.
ence to the opinion of a brother clergyman,. who is now in the
824 year of his age; anti 1 have no hesitation in stating most
unequivocally what that opinion is. The decision of so. well-
informed a civilian as Sir John Nicholl, justifies, I think, any
Alinister of, the Established Church in pursuing that line of
conduct towards Dissenters of all denominations which can-
dour, and meekness? and moderation, and Christian ,charity,
must make him anxious to pursue on all occasions, especially
upon so interesting a one as that mentioned in your letter, and
in behalf of an individual belonging to a sect remarkably peace-
ful, pious, and innofensive. Be so good as to show the Dean
what 1 have written ; he may, perhaps, be induced to respect
my suggestions. I am, Sir, yours, &c.

MR. COTIEIETT AT Ull lELAISPORD.-11115 (as g"
nerally represented) extraordinary man slept at Mr. Wade's,
the White Hart, in Moulsham, on Sunday night, and yeter-
day morning took a surrey of the town. Mr. Cobbett acknow-
ledges to have been disappointed, as he anticipated finding
no banks in this county ; but in all probability he did not
sleep much the worse for it,_ as he is accustomed to make
mistakes. He, however, predicts thht those banks which
now remain are but short-lived I Mr. Cohbett is a fine
well.proportioned man, about five feet inches high, ruddy
complexion, his hair almost as white as drifttd snow ; is very
abstemious and regular in his mode of living : he took a mut-
ton chop for his breakfast drank tea in a basin, and made his
exit by the three o'clock ' coach. He was particularly free In
his conversation, and has no doubt picked up sufficient mate-
rials in Chelnisterd to fill a number of his Itegister.—V4B637

The New Catholic Association met on Satur'
day at Burgh Quay, Mr. J. Redmond, in the
chair. The proceedings of the last meeting
being read, Mr. Conway observed, in reference
to the circular and formulary ordered by the Aso'
elation, that he trusted, before they should meet
again, a copy would he in the hand of every Ca tho•
tic clergyman in the kingdom ; and before a month
should elapse, he had no doubt that these formula'
lies would be returned filled, and in. such a shape
that the Association would be able speedily to,
lay before the Irish public a faithful report of
the state of education in Ireland. lie then argue°.
at some length in reference to the speech of Mr.
Frankland Lewis, and concluded by giving naticu
of a motion on the subject next Saturday. After
a few words from Mr. Reynolds, the meeting
adjourned.---(Dublin Evening Post.)

The WESTERN LITERARY and SctENTalc
INSTITUTION resumed their Lectures last night,
at the King's Concert Room, which was crowded.
The Lecture was on the Physiology of the Brain'
and delivered by Mr. SLEIGH. Among the re'

Institution, who have accepted of the oflice, are
His Grace the Duke of Norfolk, the Earls of

We have received the Etoile of Sunday, which
contains no foreign intelligence of interest. Let-
ters from Bucharest announce the passage of
General .GUILLEMINOT on the 6th instant;
he quitted Constantinople on the 17th of
February. A Telegraphic Dispatch announces
his arrival at Strasburgh on the 24(11 instant.
Mr. STRATFORD CANNING had not arrived when

General GUILLEMINOT left Constantinople.
Letters from Corfu, dated the 17th February,
announce, the recall of the CAPSTAN PACIIA,
41t the special desire of I IsItAILIAI PACIIA, who
imputes the failure of the attacks on Mis,so-
longhi, to the imbecile conduct of the CAPSTAN
PACIIA. Another attack was to be made on
Missolonghi on the 20th February.
The latest quotations of Rentes on Saturday,
were—Five per Cents., 96f. 35c.—Three per

There was a very animated discussion on Sa•
turday, in the French Chamber of Deputies
ea the presentation of a petition. from. Havre,
respecting, the Slave Trade, of which the
Prayer was, in substance, to render more
Oricacious the measures for suppressing a traf-
fic, 66 the impunity of which is a blot on the
French name." From the reiterated complaint
by our Naval Commanders on the African
station of the atrocities perpetrated by French
Traders, and the impossibility of restraining
the vessels of that !ration, by any but French
authority— we have very naturally inferred
that) as regards vessels of this country, the traffic
in Slaves has been effectually suppressed. We
know indeed, that from the indefatigable and
•
S ncere activity of our commanders on the coast
or Africa) a Slave vessel amenable to British
•
authority and surveillance, has scarcely a pOssi-
bithy of escape. It appears, however, from
the furious tirade of a M. DUDON, which will ho
found la our report of the proceedings, that " it is
not Prance that carries on the Slave Trade—
"it is England. British ships take Slaves on
the Coast of Africa as usual, and sell them as
cc op
slaves.
Ninety thousand slaves, were last
year introduced into the Isle of France, with the
a knowledge, or connivance, of the Functionaries
46 of Great Britain I" Of this information M.
Moor, finds proof in the English Papers—an
assertion which may create a suspicion, that
'to those organs of information, M. DUDON is an
.absolute stranger. The English Papers have
never omitted to give Extracts from the Par.
liamentary Documents containing authentic de.
Mails from our naval commanders, of the pro.
Iress of the trade—end from which it appears,
that while the coast swarms with Slave vessel from
'Prance and Portimil—which continue to ont-
o
tage humanity with impunity—an English slave
ship has so little chance of escape, that
`Capture has become a rare occurrence. It is
sickening to find a representative of the Great
Nation, so deplorably ignorant, as to talk of an int-
Portation of 90,000 negroes in a single year, the
"lue of which, at only WU' each, would be
*nine millions sterling

It is. &tatPd in a late number of the Memorial
.13ordelais, that the Princess MARIE ISARELLE, the
itegent, manifest, a most decided hostility to the
:Project contemplated hv the QUEEN her

mother. From the continued indisposition of
the PRINCESS REGENT, the duties of the office
devolve, principally, on the Duke of CADA-
VAL, who appears to be in very high esti-
mation at Lisbon, where he is respected alike, for
his integrity and talents. The other members of
the Regency—especially the patriarch, appear
also to participate in the confidence of the nation.
At Lisbon, not the slightest apprehension is at
present felt, from any possible effort of the
QUEEN'S party.

We have received a series of Frankfort_Papers
to the 22d instant. - A communication frum
Leipzig, of the 16th, gives a 'gloomy picture
of the distresS occasioned by the failure, of the
house of A Lou cciur at Zeitz, which is said to
have stopped payment, solely by reason of ina-
bility to find means of paying the C 4 wages of their
workmen till the end of the fair." The -number
of hands employed by, this house does not op-
pear to have exceeded 800; the stoppage,
nevertheless, appears to have affected many
houses of considerable eminence. In Eng-
land, the failure of a manufacturer employing
800 hands would naturally' cause distre: s in
the immediate neighbourhood, but taken by itself,

it would be comparatively unfelt by the trading
community. The distress represented to have
been thus occasioned by the failure of a single es-
tablishment, may serve to slaew the insignificance
of the manufacturing system on the. Continent, as
compared with that of England. fri a late Sit-
ting of the German Diet, the Act regulating the
Navigation of the Elbe, became a subject of
consideration.
_lt is gratifying to find, that
the free Navigiition of that tine River, is not
less an object of attention than the Rhine.
A Convention, signed by the Plenipotentiaries of
the . ditTereni power's interest.d in regulating
the navigation of the Elbe, was preiented by
the President, to -be deposited in the ar-
chives of .the Confederation. Thus, the

two great rivers, which give access to the
heart of Germany, are now open to the yes.
sels of all nations, and freed, from the oppressive
and vexatious interruptions, and interdictions, by
the which the internal Commerce of Germany has
for centuries been harrassed
