not merely the rich, but the poor and humble, had
contributed no less a sum than 7,0001. ? Let it not lee I
said that th 4 Corporation of the first City in
the world sought to save its funds under 1
such a paltry and miserable pretence as that put t
forth on the present occasion.—(Hear, hear.) I
He (Mr. Bowers) entreated the Court to remember i
that the claim was, in this instance, made on behalf of
thousands in the district to which its benevolence
would be applied, who rose daily without knowing
there was a God to worship, or a Saviour to whom to
look for redemption.—(Hear, hear.) On these
grounds, he trusted the Court would agree to the
adoption of the report.
Mr. D. W. Wean rejoiced that the Court had been
afforded an opportunity of listening to all that could
be said in favour of the proposed grant, which was
sought on the ground just stated, that it was necessary
for a church which had been built, and for the in-
struction of a poor and ignorant class of the com-
munity. He (Mr. Wire) concurred in the sentiment
that it was the duty of every man to assist in re-
moving ignorance from the land, and it was because
he so concurred that he opposed the grant.—(Hear.)
He opposed it, because he was of opinion that instead
of removing it would perpetuate ignorance, and tend
to enslave the minds of the people. The last speaker
had talked of the bug-bear of Puseyism. Did he
know what Puseyism was ? Was he aware that the
Puseyite writers disavowed the name of Protestant,
and had assumed that appropriated to another Church
—the Catholic Church ?—(Hear.) He (Mr. Wire)
protested against the surrender of the one name and
the usurpation of the other. Mr. Newman and Dr.
Pusey, in their fruits and sermons, spoke tenderly
and kindly of that Church from which the Church of
England had dissented, as they spoke slightingly of
the. name " Protestant." They sought to lead the
Church of England back to the Church of Rome, and
to abandon those tenets for which their forefathers
went to the stake.-se(Hear.) The Protestant had

great charter of eternal life. The avowed author of
the Oxford Tracts, however,

• only. What was Puseyism ? Not the Bible, but
the Church, and the traditions of the fathers ; not the
word of God, but the fallible writings of man.—
(Hear, hear.) The time had arrived when a
stand ought to be made against the adop-
tion of such sentiments and opinions.—(Hear).
Again, the Protestant Church disclaimed the worship

ARRIVAL OF THE AVON, AND LOSS OF
THE ACTXON.

SOUTRAMPTO2Q7 DEC. 12.—The Royal Mail Com-
pany's steam-ship Avon, Captain Strutt, arrived here
at ten o'clock this day, bringing all the West Indian,
&c., mails—those from the following places up to the
dates expressed against them, viz.:—Tampico, to
Oct. 26 ; Vera Cruz, to Nov. 2 ; Havannah, to the
10th ; Demerara, to the 3d ; Trinidad, to the sth ;
Grenada, to the 10th ; St. Thome', to the 15th ; and
Bermuda, to the 23d, being the day of the Avon's
departure thence.
She has brought on freight, it is believed, the
largest amount of specie ever shipped from the east-
ern coast of Mexico in one bottom, viz., 2,078,7391
dollars (268,067 of which are on account of the
Mexican dividends) ; 6001 ounces of gold dust, &c. ;
2,679 ounces silver in masses ; 991 b. 4oz. platina and
Plata Bruta ; 108 serons cochineal ; 23 serons purge
de jalapa ; 3 serons gum copal.
Also seventeen passengers, fire Government ditto,
two wrecked seamen, one invalid, together with the
crew of the late steamer Actaeon, belonging to this

THE LATE BANK ROBBERY BY
BURGESS AND ELDER, AND THE TRA-
VELS OF THE DELINQUENTS.
As this is probably the greatest instance on recoid
of the successful tracing and bringing to justice of
any party charged with crime, it may he considered
interesting to give a short account of John Forres-
ter's proceedings after his departure from England.
It will be remembered that Burgess end Elder had
left this country by the steamer Britannia, bound for
Malifax and Boston. At the time these persons left
England, it was of course impossible to say to which
of these places they purposed to go. It was, there-
fore, determined that Forrester should set off for
Halifax first, and endeavour to trace them from place
to place to their destination, wherever that might be.
The officer accordingly went to Halifax, but, upon
arriving there, was unable to find any trace either of
Burgess or Elder. His only course, therefore, was
to wait at Halifax for a day or two, until the Bri-
tannia, which was then shortly expected on her home-
way voyage from America, should arrive. The arri-
val of that vessel occurred about two days after For-
rester reached Halifax, when he was fortunate enough
to meet with the captain who had taken the two fugi-
tives out, and from whom he learned that the parties
in question had been passing by the names of Ellis,
senior and junior, uncle and nephew; that they had
made an acquaintance with an American gentleman
resident in Michigan, whom he (the captain) had
landed along with them at Boston, the two former
having in their possession a portmanteau containing
something of very great weight, to which they
seemed to attach much importance • and supplied with
this information, Forrester, as might be supposed, was
most anxious to get to Boston at the earliest possible
moment. There was, however, no vessel to sail fur
that place for ten days or more, and under these cir-
cumstances he determined to proceed thither by land,
through Canada. This alone is a Journey of about
GOO miles. In due course he arrived at .11 oston, and
there ascertained that the two Ellises, alias Burgess and
Elder, and the American gentleman, to whose good
offices they had recommended themselves, had pro-
ceeded to New Ye 4,
At New York a curious circumstance occurred.
Forrester had been advised to go to the Astor Hotel,
which is one of the most respectable of the houses of
public resort in that city, and upon his arrival he di-
reeted the coaebmen to drive him to that hotel, Upon
arriving at the Astor Hotel he found a great crowd
assembled in consequence of the election of the new
President of the United States. Thinking the situa-
tion rather too public, he desired the coachman to
take him to another hotel, in a more retired locality.
He W 45 then driven tq two or three other hotels, net
one of which he fancied, but at last he Ives set down
ze inn which he thought would answer his purpose.

it is scarcely necessary to
observe that this was not the hotsl ultimately fixed
upon by Forrester for 144 ttbofie• lie as quickly
possible provided himself with * warrant fur the ap-
prehension of the fictitious uncle and nephew ; hut
upon further inquiry he lee,rned that they had, accom-
panied by their new American friend alluded to, left
the city about a fortnight or three weeks previously.

York.

company.
The Avon was four days overdue, but it was partly
occasioned by some unavoidable delay and head winds.
The mails left for London by the eleven o'clock train,
and no doubt will be delivered this afternoon.
The railway authorities at Southampton delayed
the eleven o'clock train upwards of ten minutes, to
enable the mails to be dispatched by it.
We are sorry to record the total loss of the Ac-
talon steam-ship, belonging to the Royal Mail
Company, which took place on the morning of
the 20th of October, under the following circum-
stances :—She was rounding the Punta Canoe,
at eight in the morning, the Pops or high land
within the city being S.S.E. The Actaeon steering
south, struck at 8.40, upon a sunken rock, supposed
to be the Negrillo, but which, according to the chart,
should have been nearer the land than the ship then
was. Immediately she struck, the captain, with the
view of lightening her, ordered the boilers to be
blown off, but without effect till about 30 minutes
afterwards. A swell of the sea then lifted her off,
when it soon became evident that, in spite of every
exertion, she could not be kept long afloat. Sail was
then made to force her on shore, or into shallow
water. Precisely, however, at 20 minutes past 11
she went down in 6i fathoms.
The captain, officers, and crew, on this trying
emergency, behaved with the most praiseworthy
courage. Every one was calm and collected, and
the orders of the captain were obeyed with readiness
and punctuality. He was the last to leave the ill-
fated vessel. All hands were safely got into the
boats, and steered for Carthagena, from which they
were about nine miles distant. They landed in
safety, and were hospitably received by the autho-
rities.

As soon as danger was apparent, the mai;; were
taken out, and duly placed in one of the boats in
charge of the mail officer. That gentleman, in his
anxiety to do his duty, lost the whole of his wardrobe
and other effects. A small quantity of stores was also
secured.

There were only three passengers on board at the
time of the disaster. It was very fortunate that at
the moment of the wreck taking place the weather
was moderate. An hour previously, however, it had
been blowing a gale.

The Actaeon makes the fourth vessel lost since the
establishment of the Royal Mail Steam Company,
being a quarter of the number of steam-ships it has
afloat. They are—the Medina, the Isis, the Solway
(in which so many 'lives were sacrificed), and now
this unfortunate ship completes the number. The
Actaeon, however, was the smallest of the four, being
only 600 tons burthen. Her value, exclusive of stores,
&c., was about 25,0001. She plied between the
various islands for the intercolonial mails.

This unfortunate disaster has caused the greatest
sympathy to be felt for the company in the town of
Southampton, and no doubt it will be generally re-
ciprocated elsewhere. The loss of the three other

vessels was a great pecuniary blow to this spirited
company, and now that all the vessels are in good
working trim, makes their voyage with the greatest
punctuality, and everything has been going on
smoothly for some time, this calamity falls upon them
with additional force.

The Avon passed the City of Aberdeen on the
Bth instant, at 8 A.X., being then in lat. 47 14 N.,

lon. 18 W.

The Spartan frigate was at Vera Cruz, and the
Illustrious (with the flag of Sir C. Adam) and the
Hyacinth at Bermuda.
The John Renwick had arrived at Bermuda,
having on board the lantern and machinery for, the
Lighthouse in course of erection at Wreck Hill,
which it is supposed will be in operation at the com-
_

meneement of the new year, or soon afterwards.
