NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Hobart Town
dated nth November:

“ The Calista, Hawkins, from London, arrived here on the
14th ult. in 26 days, from Swanpliver. Many of the pawners
originally destined for Swan River have abandoned their intention,
and come here. They report very unfavourably of the Dew settle-
ment. The approach to Swan River is reported to be very &S-
-cult and hazardous ; and I am informed there is a bar to the har-
bour, which can never be removed.”

Despatches from Calcutta for the East India Company,
were brought to town at an early hour yesterday morn-
ing, by a messenger who came from Ancona. They
were forwarded from India overland to the Mediterranean.

The Duke of Richmond will, on Thursday next (the

11th instant), move the appointment of a select com-
mittee " to take into consideration the condition of the
working classes." The Lords are ordered to be especially
summoned on the occasion of such motion.

In consequence of the ungenerous and uncalled for
remarks made by the Earl of Aberdeen respecting the
Portuguese Regency established in London, the Mem-
bers of that Regency have determined on transferring
the seat of their deliberations to Terceira, whence, on
their arrival, letters of marque will be forthwith issued
against the commerce of the detested tyrant who usurps
the throne of the injured Donna Maria—a measure which,
by raising the torrent of popular indignation to its height,
will, we trust, contribute to hasten the downfall of that
perjured and perfidious monster.— P/yrnotetA Journal.
MR. COB IS LTT.—This talented man delivered a lec-
ture last night at the Mechanics' Institute, on the
abuses and corruptions existing in the Church Establish-
went, of which we give a poor outline on our first page.
If we are to judge from the reception of the Lecturer
by a highly respectable and— to all appearance—an in
telligent audience, his exposi has produced a powerful
effect. The gist of his argument was this : that the
poceeds of that property, miscalled church pro-
perty, including all tithes and temporalities, are
misapplied, inasmuch as the working clergy and the poor
—the legitimate objects of the original establishment—
are unjustly deprived of all benefit or participation in the
revenue ; that revenue being absorbed by a class who are
utterly useless, as far as the Scriptural instruction of the
people is concerned. It has been impossible for us,
in our report, to notice half the strong points brought for-
ward by Mr. COBaETT in support of his argument : or
to convey to the public an idea of the clear, rapid, and
demonstrative reasonings which he brought in aid of his
proposition. The aim of the lecturer was to impress upon
his audience the illegality of imposing Poor's Rates, and
the pusillanimity of the people in submitting to exorbitant
taxation, while Six Millions of money could be taken
from the enormous ovetplus of Church Revenue, and
applied to the relief of a degraded, oppressed, and ruined
people.
