SIR G. P. TURNER.

The last day his, Lordship sat in
.Court, he directed
that Sir G. P. Turner should appear before him in his
private room on Saturday. In compliance with that
order, Sir G. P. Turner was peseta, and an interview
wok place. We understood that Sir G. I'. Turner per-
si ,ted in his determination to traverse the inquisition, and
stated, that if Mr. Binns, his presen: legal adviser, did
rot choose to act for him, he would procure some one
vl:e who would. His Lordship, we further understood,
admitted the right of Sir Gregory to traverse the inqui-
sition, but requested that no unnecessary delay might
arise; as parties were naturally anxious for a determina-
tion of the question. his Lordship then stated that he
should refrain from making any order for the mainte-
nance of Lady Turner, or any other direction, until the
middle of next week, by which time it was hoped some
steps would be taken in the proceedings. Sir Gregory
promised to:comply with this requesqand immediately
left his Lordship.

• A Telegraphic Dispatch from Toulon, dated the 14th
instant, announces to the good people of Paris, that at
ten o'clock in the mor,:ing of that day, the Formidable,
of 120 guns, had been launched without any accident.
Saturday we gave a copy of an agreement entered
into by the principal Cotton-manufacturers of Glasgow,
to raise the wages of their, workmen; far different, we
are sorry to say, has been the conduct of the Silk-manu-
lactarers at Macclesfield. These worthies, it appears,
were not contented that the men should work twelve
hours a-day, they requited them to work thirteen, and
that without any advance of wages, and even wished
to confine the poor children an extra hour. The jour-
neymen remonstrated without effect ; they assembled to
discuss their grievances, and were answered by a muster
of Yeomanry Cavalry; at last they determined to strike,
and were aided by a liberal subscription by the towns-
people; when the masters, seeing how matter.; were
going on, agreed to withdraw their obnoxious proposi-
tion, and the people went to their work as usual.
At a meeting of the Synod of Glasgow and Ayr, held
In Glasgow on Tuesday, it was unanimously resolved to
apply to Parliament for assistance to 6641 additional
Churches in that city, and in other parts of the West
of Scotland, and also to extend aid to the support of the
Presbyterian Mitch in the West India Colonies. We
are glad to see our highly respected Clergy of the Esta-
blished Church taking up this ►mportant subject ; and
for their satisfaction we can state, and from good autho-
rity, that in extending the Church Establishment in the
'Nest Indies, though it is ostensibly a Church of England
Establishment, yet that it is the intention of Guyer nment
wherever Presbyterian Clergymen may be requited by
their fellow-countrymen in the West Indies, to sanction
and approve of the appointments, and to place them
Upon an equal footing in respect to authority and in-
crme, as the Ministers of the Church of Englind.—

On the 12th of April, the lightning struck a house
war the church at Eccloo, passed through it from top
to bottom, without deranging anything, and entered a
school kept by a Mr. LEDEGANCK. Dreadful 'cries im-
mediately rose, and LEDEGANCK, pale as death, came
out of the school, followed by 'fifty or sixty children.;
They were followed by per:rms carrying five chi!dren
that were stifled, and two killed, who were irnmediattly
surrounded by the mothers of the unhappy victims,
who, in their depair, filled the air • with the most dis-
tressing cries. One of those killed is a boy of fourteen
years, of age, and the other a girl of seventeen. Two
out of the five others are recovered, but three are still
out of danger.—Binvcis Paper.
Thursday mp,rnigan explosion took place in one of
the quarries in Duraeary, while one of the workmen was
drawing out the needle, preparatory to blasting .a par t
•of the rock. We lament to add, that one man was killeJ,
aid thcce most servtrrely wounded. The latter were con-
veyed to an Hospitai in this City. From the too great
frequency of similar accidents in the extensive works
carrying on at Kingstown and its vicir.ity, it is matter of
surprise and regret that no Hospital has as yet been
established there. Surely the torture attendant on the
removal of the unfortunute sufferers, to so Considerable
a distance, must incalculably diminish the chances of
their recovery ; not to speak of the great advantage
which in all such cases would result from immediate
surgical aid being at hand.—Freeinan4 Jonrnai.
