MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the London Yrw Price Current of yesterday.)

SUGAR.—The Market last week was apparently dull;
the Sugars from 48s. a 51s. were rather lower; at the
close of the Market the estimated sales were more exten-
sive than what had been generally anticipated, 2,800 hhds.
and trs., and there appeared a disposition among the sel-
lers to resist any farther reduction, as many offers for large
parcels a shade under the currency of the Market were re-
jected. The stock of Sugar in London is still more than
last year ; the deliveries last week 2,906 blb. and trs.
and 2,430 bags, being about 500 hhds. and tn. less than
the corresponding week of last year. At the close of the
market the estimated sales of Muscovades were 600 hhds.
and trs. The demand for Refined Goods rather improve°
last week, particularly for the home trade, the purchases
for which were considerable ; there was no alteration in
the price!. The Lumps fer crushing, 751. a 175., con-
tinue in demand for the Mediterranean trade; low Lumps
are dull, and rather declining. Molasses heavy, and quoted
at a small reduction.
EA ST INDIA SUGAR—The business in East India
Sugar is confined to the resales of the late India House
Sugar, at an advance of Is. a 1 s. 6d. per cwt.
FOREIGN SUGAR.—The purchases last week were con-
fined to 200 chests Brazil, low white Pernams at 255.,
low brown to yellow 17s. a 19s. 6d. The inquiries after•
Havannah Sugar were renewed, but no actual sales to any
extent were reported. The exports from the London and
St. Katharine Docks last week were about 200 chests,
the great proportion Havannah. This day by public sale
1,222 bags Manilla Sugar, of an uncommon good quality,
strong grey, all taken in. The average price of Sugar
last week, without duty, was 255. 8-d.
COFFEE.—There were few public sales brought forward
last week, and very few are advertised, owing no doubt,
• to the advanced season of the year, and the few parcels re-
maining in importers' hands ; the prices are steady, the
Market dull ; some goad to fine middling Jamaica sold at
735. ; the Demerara and Berbice went:off more freely, but
there was no alteration in prices. This day only 79
casks Berbice Coffee were offered at public sale, of a
favourite matir; the whole sold at full prices. Coffee
Market unvaried.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLL ANDS. —The Rum Market
has been very dull, and the purchases reported quite incon-
siderable ; they are confined to small parcels of low Ja-
maica, and proof Leewards at the former currency.—
Brandy is held with firmness. Geneva is still neglected.
HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW. —The Tallow Market has
been firm, and the prices improving, on account cf the
few arrivals lately, and the approach of the closing of the
navigation in the Baltic. Hemp and Flax are also a
shade higher. At the close Of the Market this day an
eminent house is contracting largely for next season at 29j
for Yellow Candle Tallow. Letters from St. Petersburgh
are dated the 30th ult. ; Exchange 10d. 11-16 a 21 32 ;
Tallow 95 to 96 ; bought 5 to 600; shipped of 166,000.
Faurr.—After our publication of Tuesday, a further
fall of 2s. per cwt. took place in Currants; they were on
tap at 755. At a public sale of old Currants, 358 butts
and Si erts. Cephalonia and Zante Currants, a consider-
able proportion was sold as low as 655. ; 9,300 boxes and
2,100 half-boxes New Valcntia, and 2,495 baskets New
Denia Raisins, were offered at public sale, but not a lot
sold ; there have since been considerable sales; the former
at 455, the latter:at 355: Figs go:off slowly at low prices.
RlCE.—There is no alteration in the demand or in the
prices of Rice.
Asces.—Ashes are still held with firmness, but the late
advance ha* rather checked the demand.

Cocoa sold 506. a 545., and good Grenada 28s. a 355.
SPICES.—There continues to be an inquiry after Spices,
but only where parcels are offered at low rates ; the pur-

little Pepper now offers under 3d. Pimento is again giving
way, it is ltd. lower.
TouAcco.— There are no sales of Tobaccowcoth reporting.
Hoes.--The Hop Duty was declared last week at
39,8661. lOs. 63. Since the duty was known there is
rather more doing, but at low prices; the new at 61. a Si. ;
last year's 5/. a 61.

Corrir.s.—The favourable intelligence from Liverpool
and Manchester respecting the Cotton trade last week had
some effect on the market here ; there was more demand,
but no advance in the prices could be obtained. The pur-
chases for the week ending last night inclusive consist of
2,550 Surat, at 3-191. a 44d. ; 30 Bawed, at ;
40 Porto Rico, at 641,1.

PRICE OF UREAD.

Quartern Loaf, 41b. soz. 83 d. 1 Half-quartern, 21b. 20z........414d.

An old English proverb says, that more know
To:n Fool than Torn Fool knows; and the in-
fluence of the adage seems to extend to works
composed under the influence of an idle or
foolish planet. Many- corresponding circum-
stances are detected by readers of whic4 tke
author did not suspect the existence. He nzn~',•
however, regard it as a great compliment, that in
detailing incidents purely imaginary, he has
been so fortunate in approximating reality, as to
remind his readers of actual occurrences. It is

therefore with pleasure he notices some pieces
of local history and tradition, which have been
supposed to coincide with the fictitious persons,
incidents, and scenery of Guy Mannering.
The prototype of Dirk Hatterack is consi-
dered as having been a Dutch skipper called
Yawkins. This man was well known on the
coast of Galloway and Dumfries-shire as sole
;ifoprietor and master of a bukkar, or smuggling
lugger, called the Black Prince ; being di;:
tinguished by his nautical skill and intrepidity,
his vessel was frequently freighted, and his own
services employed, by French, Dutch, Manx,
and Scottish smuggling companies.
A person well known by the name of Buck-
kar-tea, from having been a noted smuggler of
that article, and also by that of Bogle-Bush, the
place of his residence, assured my kind inform-
ant, Mr. Train, that lie had frequently seen up-
wards of two hundred Lingtow-men assemble
at one time, and go off into the interior of the
country, fully la►ien with contraband goods.
In those halcyon days of the free trade, the
fixed price for carrying a box of tea, or bale of to-
bacco, from the coast of Galloway to Edin-

burgh, was 15s. ; and a man with two horses
carried four such packages. The trade was en-
tirely destroyed by Mr. Pitt's celebrated coin.
mutation law, which, by reducing the duties
.•

_ .
upon exciseable articles, enabled the lawful dealer
to compete with the smuggler. The statute was
galled, in Galloway and Dumfries-shire, by those
who had thriven upon the contraband trade, the
burning and starving act.
Sure of such active assistance on shore, Yaw:.
kins demeaned himself so boldly, that his mere
name was a terror to the officers of the revenue.
He availed himself of the fears which bis pre"-
settee inspired on one particular night, when',
happening to be on shore with a considerable
quantity cf goods in his sole custody, a strong.
party of excisemen came down on him. Far
from shunning the attack, Yawkins sprung for-
ward, shouting—" Come on my lads : Yawkins
is before you." The revenue officers %vele in-

timidated, and relinquished their though
defended only by the courage and address or a
single man. On his proper element, Yawkins
was equally suceessfUl. On one occasion, he
was landing his cargo at the Manxman's Lake',
near Kirkcudbright, when two revenue cutters
(the Pigmy and the Dwarf), hove-in sight at
once on different tacks, the one coming round
by the Isles of Fleet, the other between the point
of Rueberry and the Muckle Ron. The daunt-
less free trader instantly weighed anchor, and
bore down right between the luggers, so close
that he tossed his-hat on the deck of the one,
and his wig on that of the other, hoisted a cask
to his maintop, to show his occupation, and bore
away, under an extraordinary pressure of can.
vass, without receiving injury. To account for
these and other hair-breadth escapes, popular
superstition alleged that Yawkins insured .his
celebrated- -btkkar by compounding with the
devil for one-tenth of his crew every voyage.
How they arranged the separation of the stock
and tithes is left to our conjecture. The buk-
kar was, perhaps, called the Black Prince in
honour of the formidable insurer.

The Black Prince used to discharge her cargo
at Luce, Balcarry, and elsewhere on the coast ;
but her owner's favourite landing-places were at
the entrance of the Dee and the Cree, near the
old Castle of Rueberry, about six miles below
Kirkcudbright. There is a cave of large di-
mensions in the vicinity of Rueberry, which,
from its being frequently used by Yawkins, and
his supposed connexion with the smugglers on
the shore, is now called Dirk Hatteraick s cave.
Strangers who visit this place, the scenery of
which is highly romantic, are also shown, under
the name of the Guager's Loup, a tremendous
precipice, being the same, it is asserted, from
which Kennedy was precipitated.
Meg Merrilies is in Galloway considered as
. .

having had her origin in the traditions concern-.
ing the celebrated Flora Marshall, one of the
royal consorts of Willie Marshall, more com-
monly called the Caird of Barullion, king of
the gipsies of the Western Lowlands. That
t
potentate was himself deserving of notice, from
he following peculiarities. He was born in the
arAl as he died at Kirkmichael, 23d November,
parish of Kirkmichael, about the year 1671 ;
1792, he must then have been in the 120th year
of his age. It cannot be said that this unusu-
ally long lease of existence was noted by any
peculiar excellence of conduct or habits of life'.
Willie had been pressed or enlisted in the army
seven times, and had deserted as often ; be-
sides three times running away from the na-
val service. He had been seventeen times
lawfully 'married ; and besides such reasonably
large share of matrimonial comforts, was, after
his hundredth year, the avowed father of four
children, by less legitimate affections. He sub-
sisted in his extreme old age by a pension
from the present Earl of Selkirk's grandfather.
Will Marshall is buried in Kirkcudbright
church, where his monument is still shown,
decorated with a scutcheon suitably blazoned
with two tups' horns and two rutty spawn.
In his youth he occasionally tool.; an evening
walk on the highway, for the purpose of assis:-
ing travellers by relieving them of the weight of
their purses. Oh one occasion the Caird of
Barullion robbed the Laird of Bargally, at a
place between Carsphairn and DalinelliLfgton.
His purpose was not achieved without, a severe
struggle, in which the gipsy lost his. bonnet, and
was obliged to escape, leaving i 4 on the road.
A respectable farmer happened to be the next
passenger, and seeing the bonnet, alighted, took
it up, and rather imprudently put it on his own
head. At this instant Bargally came up with
some assistants, and recognising the bonnet,
charged the farmer of Bantoberick with hay-
ing robbed him, and took him into cus-
tody, There being some likeness between
the parties, Bargally persisted in his charge, and
galr):i.cle worn by

terperfectly admitted, his trial before the

the man who robbed him ; anti he and others
likewise deposed that they
had found the accused

on the spot where the crime was committed,
with the bonnet on his head. The case looked
gloomily for the •
prisoner, and the opinion of the
Judge seemed unfavourable. But ih:re was a

person in the Court who knew well both wln
did, and who did not commit the crime. Thi
was the Caird of Barullion, who, thrusting him
self up to the bar, near the place where Bargall3
was standing, suddenly seized on the bonnet,
put it on his head, and looking the Laird full in
the face, asked him, with a voice which attracted
the attention of the Court and crowded c.udienec
—" Look at me, Sir, and tell me, by the oath
you have sworn, am I not the man who robbed
you between Carsphairn and Dalmellington ?"
Bargally replied, in great astonishment, " B 3
Heaven, you are the very man."—" You sec
what sort of memory this gentleman has," said
the volunteer pleader ; " he swears to the bonne;
whatever features are under it. If you yourself.
my Lord, will put it on your own head he will
be willing to swear that your Lordship was the
party who robbed him between Carsphairn and
Dalmellington." The tenant of Bantoberick
was unanimously acquitted, and thus Willie
Marshall ingeniously contrived to save an inno-
cent man from danger, without incurring any
himself, since Bargally's evidence must have
seemed to every one too fluctuating to be relied
upon.
While the King of the Gipsies was thus
laudably occupied, his royal consort, Flora, con-
trived, it is said, to steal the hood from the
Judge's gown, for which offence, combined with
her presumptive guilt as a gipsy, site was ba-
nished to New England, whence she never re-
turned.

Now, I cannot grant that the idea of Meg
Merrilies was, in the first concoction:id the
character, derived from Flora Marshall; seeing,
es I already said, she was identified with Jean
Gordon, and as I have not the Laird of Bar-
gally's apology for charging the same fact on
two several individuals. Yet lam quite content
that Meg should be considered as a representa•
tine of her sect and class in general—Flora as
well as others.

The other instances in which my Gallovidian
readers have obliged me by assigning to
" Airy nothing,
A local habitation and a name,"

shall also be sanctioned so 'far as the author may
be entitled to do so. I think the facetious Joe
Miller records a case pretty much in point ;
where the keeper of a museum, while showing,
as he said, the very sword with which Balaam
was about to kill his ass, was interruped by one
of his visitors, who reminded him that Balaam
was not possessed of a sword, but only wished
for one. " True, Sir," replied the ready-witted
cicerone ; " but this is the very sword he
wished for." The author, in application of this
story, has only to add, that though ignorant of
the coincidence between the fictions of the tale
and some real circumstances, he is contented to
believe be must unconscientiously have thought
or dreamed of the last, while engaged in the
composition of Guy Mannerly.

At Antwerp a family of six persons were
poisoned a few days ago by white lead, which has been
discovered in butter. The author of this homicidal fraud
is not likely to be detected, as the mistress of the family,
who bought it at market, is among the victims.
EXTRAORDINARY SIIOT.—Mr. R. SCOLES
late head-keeper to Lady WILLOUGHBY DE ERESBY, of
3rimsthorpe Castle), and considered by most a first-rate
"Tack shin, (having given proof of his prowess by killing
19 out of 24 pigeons,) a few weeks since, during the late,
buck season, shot at one, in Exton Park, the ball of which
we't through tie animal. and struck with great violence
apthst i -knot of oak in the park paling, and rebounded a
'clistainiel' Of 'it least 30 yards. The spent ball slightly
tapped his boot top and fell at his foot. The battered
ball may now be seen at the shop of Mr. GILBERT, sta-
tioner, Spalding.--Boston Gazette.

It appears that " wet 'uns" are not confined
to Newgate and Leadenhall Markets—or the stir made by
;he metropolitan authorities to detect and prevent the sa'e
pf unwholesome meat may be the cause of trying the
scheme in country markets. The carcass of a sow was
recently exhibited in Colchester market for sale, which,
from its appearance, soon drew public indignation, and the
owner, or part owner, amidst some execration, withdrew
It ss speedily as possible, but in order to give the affair a
savoury smell, the old man appeared before the Magistrates
Ast :he Town Hall, with a slice of the delicious grunter on
A plate, and complained that he had been slandered; that
it was good meat and bled well ; that in consequence of
the stir made, he could not sell it, and was, therefore,
forced to eat it hiraself. The case being thus voluntarily
brought forward, of course led to a few questions, such as,
" If it is good meat, why (lid you remove it from the
market ?"—" Why, Sir, becase they sed they'd bun it."
" Did the sow die alone ?"—"Nar, Sir, Nar." " 0, then
there wore more died with her ?"—" Nar, nar ; tell
ye, she worn't esakly well, sartny, she died becase she
could'ne make herself comfortable."—This explanation
excited much laughter at the expense of Master Sparatow,
Via() still stated it was as good a piece of pork as he had
aver eaten ; he was therefore left to pick his enjoyment
;Gm it as he pleased.—Hents Mercury.
AW,ANCHOLY EVENT.—A stranger, of gen-
teel appep•ance, and apparently about 40 years of age,
with brown bah', and beard rather inclining to red, came
t Renton Inn, parish of Coldingham, and county of Ber-
wick, en Monday the Oth instant, and was discovered
.; ' deal in bed next d about twelve o'clock, and an
xseptv vi:4 was found iu the bed-room, having the name
,pad aldress of an Edinburgh apothecary printed on the
;abet, sad the words " Prussic Acid" written on the
4: mitre of the label in distinct character. The stranger
wore ari olive coloured coat, brown great coat, black pan-
taloons, Wellington boots, and black hat, with the maker's
name and aidress " Hand's warranted water-proof, 84,
Cheapside," in the crown thereof, and his handkerchief
tol linen are marked with the letter K. He had no
ibui,.dle or money, and no letters or writings by which his
addreaz could be discovered, save a certificate by the Ma-
sager or' the Edinburgh Loan Company, of date the oth
November, 1529, wherein he is described 49 " Mr.
KING, Portland. place."—Should this paragraph meet the
ye of any one to hom the unfortunate stranger was
known, they are requested to address a few lines to Mr.
JOHNSTON, procurator-fiscai toe Berwickshire, that the
friends of the deceased may be made acquainted with the
melancholy event.—Edinburgh Evening Couraui.

Early on Monday morning the neighbour-
ood Union-row, in the Kent-road, was thrown into
Kors.;;Jera,de excitement, by its being reported that a
tamale, xelpyin n• a small room in No. 29, in that street,
had died tb Pigh; previously, and that her death had been
occasioned in consequence of being destitute of the com-
mon necessaries us life, On inquiry this proved to be too
true. The following are the particulars of this pitiable
occurrence :—About tell weeks ago, the deceased, whose
name was MA ais. Evalss, hired the apartments alluded to.
representing herself married to a person named SKILLMAN.
When possession was taken of tile room, a large iota was
brought in, said to contain bedding. The door was kept
constantly locked, and no one connected with the lodging-
house ever allowed to enter. On Saturday last the land-
lady got access into the room, in consequence of hearing
some one moaning very much, when she was [shocked at
beholding the deceased stretched upon a tattered mattrass,
with no other covering than a piece of old carpeting and
a worn-out sailor's jacket, evidently in a dying state.
There was neither chair, table, nor fire in the room—nor
any descriptiou of food whatsoever. The eyes of the de-
c-ased were sunk deeply in her head ; tile cheek-bows
a'most protruded through the skin ; her thin, bloodless,
and attenuated fingers were frightful to look at ; in her
body she had pined away to a perfect skeleton; and the
whole scene presented a most melancholy and soul-harrow-
ing picture of human wretchedness and want, in their
moat appalling forms. The landlady instantly had a fire
lighted, and sent out for the parish-surgeon, but his skill
was:.el,v,—food was offered, but it was loathed by this
y:,_
rtunate victim of famine ,• nature was exhausted, and
shortly afterwards she died. It appeared that the deceased
in early life had been in affluent circumstances. Some
years ago she eloped with the person whom she repre-
sented as her husband, but who Was previously a married
man. In consequence of some heavy losses they

The Hamburg Reporter and the Hamburg
Papers have been received to the 14th inst.—
The Emperor of AUSTRIA is said to have con-
gratulated his Imperial Brother of the North on
the glorious termination of the war. This seems
rather odd, after the jealous watchfulness with
which the progress of the Russian army was
regarded by the zlustrian Minister, Prince
METTERNICH. But perhaps the felicitation of
the Emperor is only a matter of court etiquette,
for there is a vocabulary of political as well as
civil compliment, which it is deemed expedient
to consult on certain occasions.

The passage of vessels through the Darda-
nelles is now perfectly free, and numbers take ad-
vantage of this licence before the cold weather

It is said that the Emperor of Austria has sent
an autograph letter to the Emperor Nicholas, in
which he congratulates the Russian Monarch on the
glorious termination of the war with Turkey, and

SALONICHI, OCT. 15.

A corps of 2,000 TurJs have
,just arrived here
from Negropont, among them are 600 regular troops,
who arc soon to go to Constantinople. It is inferred
from this circumstance that the island of Negropont is
going to be delivered up to the Greeks.

CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 16.

Within these six days above 20 more ships of
different nations have arrived in this port, and
among them 18 Russian vessels from the Mediter-
ranean, the greater part of which have already sailed
for the Black Sea. These ships had passed the
Dardanelles under Dutch colours ; notice, however,
was sent to them by the Porte immediately on their
arrival here, that though the exchange of the ratifi-
cation had not yet taken place, they might hoist
Russian colours, and that the firmans for the prose..
cution of their voyage should be delivered to them
without delay. Some Colonels and Aide-de-Camps
of the Sultan who have been sent to Adrianople
have returned from that city, and speak in the

highest terms of the friendly treatment they expe-
rienced at the Russian head-quarters. The city
and the neighbouring country are healthy, and the
cool weather having set in, we flitter ourselves that
we shall be free from the plague this year.
STOCKHOLM, NOV. 3.

A great deputation of the Estates of the King-
dom, with the Land-Marshal and Speakers at its
head, waited on his Majesty to-day, to present an
address of congratulation on his recovering from his
late indisposition. His Majesty replied, " Gentle-
men, I receive with emotion the congratulation of
the Estates on my recovery. The interest they
have taken is my health has tilled me with the most
lively gratitude. It is most delightful to a Prince
to know that he is loved, and most especially when
he is conscious of having done his utmost to de-
serve that love. Providence has fixed the term of
our existence. The Christian looks forward to it
with resignation, without either wishing or fearing it.
But when we feel the approach of death, we
more justly appreciate human infirmity. Restored
to health, the days which the Almighty may still
grant me shall continue to be devoted to the welfare
of my people. The same zeal for the happiness of
all, the same perseverance in maintaining the laws,
respect for property and personal liberty, will always
guide my conduct, and I hope that Heaven will
bless my endeavours. I repeat to you, Gentlemen,
tire assurance of my regard and Royal favour."
The Chambers of the Nobles yesterday granted,

by a majority of 123 to 41, the sum of three mil-
lions of dollars, to complete the materiel of the
array. The other Chambers passed this grant some
time ago.
The new Spanish Charge d'Affaires, M. Assarin,
lately arrived here.
Since last Saturday we have had pretty severe
cold, and the roads are perfectly good for sledges,—
This early commencement of winter has interrupt-
ed, in some provinces, the kbours of the field, and
will probably cause a rise in the price of corn ; but

we have good reason to believe that there will not
he any where a scarcity of provisions.
BORSEN- HALLE, FOUR o'CLocK.—Our supplies

of Wheat have been very trifling during the week,
and several purchases having been made for exporta-
ion, as well as for home consumption, a small rise
in the price of the best qualities has been the con•
Sequence. For inferior Wheat, of which the supply
has not been very great, there is no demand what-
ever.

For Rye there is but little doing, and sales can
only be effected at reduced prices.
Of Barley some extensive purchases have been
made by our brewers,—but generally speaking, the
article does not appear to be in demand.
Of Oats we have received considerable supplies
lately, but chiefly of inferior quality, and conse-
quently not easily to be disposed of. Prime qua-
lity continues to be in demand.
During the first six days of November nineteen
cargoes of Corn passed through the Sound; six
were bound for British, two for Dutch, two for
French, and seven for different northern ports: of
two the destinations were not known.

We have received Madras Papers this morn-
ing to the 10th July. It is asserted that the
newly acquired Provinces have become a burden,

instead of a benefit, to the Government, and that
they will be abandoned to the Burmese, The
weather had been hot at Madras, but some salu •
tary rain had fallen early in the month. Intelli-
gence had bee►i received from the north-east
frontier of the death of Dr. BEADON, surgeon
to the Political Agent, who was badly wounded
in the face with an arrow at Nogundee. It was
reported that only the territorial and Persian secre-
taries, and one Member of the Council, would
attend the Governor-General -to the Upper
Provinces.

A well written and sensible Pamphlet has
just appeared, entitled Church Reform by a
Churchman. It reminds us of Dr. WITATELY'S
Letters on the Church by an Episcopalian,
and, if not from the same pen, is very much in
the same spirit as the former publication by the
Principal of St. Alban's Hall.
Some of the most clear-sighted of our Bishops
and Clergy, perceiving the no small degree of
unpopularity attached to the Established Church,
observing on the one hand the rapid progress of
dissent among Christians of undoubted piety,
and, on the other, the many points in the Esta-
blishment vulnerable to the attacks of those who
openly declare their hostility to the principle of
protecting or sanctioning by law any Religion
whatever, are now known to have become ad-
vocates of a variety of changes in the system
and discipline of the Church, which a very few
years ago would have been regarded with horror.
The internal regulation of the Church is a sub-
ject on which we have no desire to express an
opinion ; many suggestions for alteration may he
found in the pamphlets we have mentioned, and
in a larger work, called " Church In-
quiry," which appeared last year, in which some
useful information is given with regard to the
American Liturgy, and the respects in which it
differs from our own.

But a more important consideration is, whe-
ther the Church would be rendered more effi-
cient for the end for which it was instituted, by
being separated from the State altogether ?
Whether it is fit, that the spiritual concerns of a
Church, whose divine Founder declared his
kingdom not to be of this world, should be re-
gulated by the King in Council ?—whether, in
short, the Church ought not be left to proceed
as it judges best, without being subject to the
control of the civil magistrate, so long as it con-
forms itself to the municipal law ? The reform-
ing Churchmen maintain that it ought, and that
its present dependence on the Government di-
verts the cares of its Clergy from the spiritual
interests of their flocks to the temporal advan-
tages of themselves.
'There is much weight in these arguments,
and yet the separation of the Church from the
State does, under existing circumstances, appear
almost impracticable. For, in the first place,
it would, in such an event, cease to be the
" Church of England ;" and, we apprehend, it is
to the Church existing under that denomination
alone, that the revenues taken by Parliament
from the Cathdies at the Reformation do, in law

and justice, belong. The Acts of Uniformity
point out the profession of faith to be made by
the occupiers of benefices, and the duty they
are to perform, so as effectually to exclude any
persons not being Members of the Church of
England from filling the livings; but in case of
the repeal of the Acts of Uniformity, as Dr.
W7HATELY and others would wish, what is

there, we should like to know, to prevent an
Unitarian or a Mahometan enjoying a benefice ?
Parliament appropriated the revenues of the
ancient Church to a new one, whose Creed they
at the same time prescribed. No man is bound
to conform to that Creed against his will ; but
if he does not, he must not think of being a
Clergyman of the English Church, and enjoying
the emoluments within the reach of such a
Clergyman. That is the real state of tl►e case.
If, therefore, the Church were to persist in

demanding a/ divorce, there is no pretence for
her taking ,away the revenues which she enjoys,
solely-on account of her married state. So long
as the Act of Uniformity is in force, the Church
must be content to submit to the controul of Par-

liament, who have at all events the power to re•
peal that Act, amt thereby, if they please, to
place the Church on the same footing a 3 the
Catholics or Dissenters.

We throw out these suggestions to the Church
Reformers, of whose good intentions we cannot
entertain a doubt, but who may, perhaps, find
themselves carried by their zeal rather farther
than they would like to go. We are far from
admitting that the interference of the GO/ern-
ment must necessarily lead to corruption ; for
the Protestant Clergy in Germany and the
Netherlands arc both appointed and paid b 3 the
State, like the army or navy, and it does not
appear to give rise to any charges of want of
theological knowledge, or neglect of Christian
duties. Their salaries certainly do not approach
to any thing like the revenues of our Clergy, for
there does not exist Church property to the
amount of four or five millions per annum spe-
cially appropriated to their use ; but the Clergy
of the Protestant persuasion throughout Ger-
many, and in other parts of the Continent, are
certainly not inferior to those of England, either
in learning, piety, or national usefulness.
The most moderate computation we have ever
seen, of the annual value of the benefices in Eng-
land and Wales, rates it at three millions and a
half, exclusive of the revenues of Bishops,
Deans, and Chapters. The number of rectories,
vicarages, and endowed chapels is 11,342 ; if,
therefore, all incumbents were equally paid, their
average income would little exceed 3001. per an-
num. Supposing the average to be even 4001.

per annum, this is assuredly not too much for
the maintenance of a Clergyman in a respectable
station in life ; but the evil is, that the livings
vary so much, that one part of our Clergy are
able to live in luxury, while the other cannot
maintain their footing among the gentry. It
was this very inequality that accelerated the con-
fiscation of the Church property in France ; it
is the same thing that checks the moral influence
of the English Clergy, and lowers the Church
in public opinion. If Parliament has the power
to interfere, and that it has cannot be seriously
doubted, it is this evil that it should first endea•
your to correct. The Clergy themselves call out
for reform, and in due season and the fulness of
time they may rely upon it they will have it ;
not always in the precise manner they wish it to
be given, but in such measure as the lapse of
time and the welfare of the people shall satisfy
Parliament it ought to be effecied.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE o'CLocr.

Madras Gazettes have been received at the North
and South American Coffee-house, to the 12th of
July :

(From the Gazette of the 11th of July.)
The shipping report is blank, both as to arrivals
and departures. The valuable ship Oscar, with all
her cargo, was lost on the Arabian coast on the
night of the 31st of May ; the loss is attributed to
an error in the chronometers, and a strong westerly
current.

A system ef reduction has commenced in Bengal;
orders have been issued for the 6th, 7th, and Bth
corps of Irregular Cavalry being disbanded on the
15th proximo, with the donation of six months' pay
in addition to fill arrears.

(From the Gazette of June 24.)
The India Gazette has furnished us with the ob-
ject of the Governor-General's late visit to the
East—reduction. It would appear that the newly-
acquired provinces are rather a burthen than a be-
nefit to Government ; and it is rumoured that they
will be abandoned to their former owners, s►nce the
amount of the revenue falls short. The Commissary
of the Ordnance has been reduced to a Deputy As-
sistant Commissary. The office of Executive En-
gineer has been abolished. The Deputy Commis-
sary-General has been reduced a grade. The offices
of Marine Paymaster and Marine Storekeeper have
been abolished. The flotilla has been reduced about
18 or 26 boats. Three Officers of theßornbay Marine
have returned to their Government. The Political
Commissioner has gone to England. The Civil Com-
missioners act without drawing their allowances. It
is reported that Military Officers now performing
the duties of Assistants to the Civil Commissioners,
are to be relieved by Penang Civil Servants.
