A great number of sportsmen visited our neighbouring

birds were by no means scarce, bat very wild. Good thou thought
themselves successful in bagging two brace, and very few killed
more than three brace. The day proved fine, and the sport on the

It is not, we believe, generally known that we hays an
American Bishop amongst us, led to this country with the view
of obtaining funds fora clerical endowment la the bath settlements
of America, where there Is a want of religious instruction. Bishop
Cause, moved by the almost destitute condition of the population
of Ohio, has relinquished the comforts of civilised life, and of his
home, in the province of Connecticut, and sacrificed the best part
of his small fortune in the foundation of a school for educating
young men for the Church, finding by experience that those alone
born and bred on the soil would consent to undergo the depriva-
tions and fatigues consequent on their pious office.
THE WESTMEATH CAUSE.—Weunderstond that this

by which Lady WISTMIATH has obtained separation and separate
maintenance, pursuant to the terms of her deed of separation.—
Westmeath eernd.

MARCH OF INTELLECT.—In the villages around Can-
terbury, bills have been distributed, announcing the destruction of
the earth by flood and fire. The event was to have taken place on
Friday last. It is impossible to describe the sensation this stupid
prediction created amongst the country people, many of whom
placed a firm belief in it; and actually offered up prayers for their
preservation on that particular day.—Kamitiai Chronicle.

mail from Lisbon, and one from Jamaica :—the former

Consul, that his pardon and liberation from prison would

We have an arrival from Rio Janeiro, two days later
than the last accounts ; it does not bring any political in-
formation. The exchange at Rio 25}-26.

pected here from the Brazil, does not come in a diplo
matic character, but only to compliment the new Em--
press of Brazil.

cation with him. The cause of the General's arrest was
not publicly known ; bat he was sent to Porto Cabello to
be under the surveillance of his friend Poez.

authority of a letter from Carthagena, that Mr. MILLER
has been apprised by Mr. WATTS, the British Consul,

satisfied with the title of Liberator President, as he con-
siders that his services to the Republic entitles him to
higher marks of distinction. He aims at the Imperial
diadem.

and South American Coffee-house, to the 13th March ;
but they do not contain any information of consequence.

the northwards. A sale of opium took place on tbs 11th
March, of Behar produce : 1,284 chests were put up, of
which the highest brought 1,325 rs., lowest, 1,300 rs.

THE LONDON AND PARIS JOURNALS.

~-

All the London Journals, liberal and ministerial, join
in expressing amazement that the people of France
should feel so much agitation and anger at the alarming
revolution that has just taken place in their Cabinet.
The warm zeal, and fine public spirit that formerly ani.
mated the London Journals, having long expired in
apathy, corruption, servility, and Babel,—modern Edi-
tors cannot conceive the necessity of a people, jealous
of their liberty, and fatigued with repeated conspiracies
against it, starting up with heart-felt energy to repel
what they consider a new collusion to degrade them.
—Accustomed only to grumble in a qualified way
against any obnoxious measures of Ministers,-4,)
palter, falter, and sink after a little bounce and froth,
flat as some effervescing liquor exhausted,—a determined
manly resistance to encroachment on right, the London
Editors understand as little as they can imitate. They
blame our neighbours, because they oppose a man sus-
pected of acting under English influence,—as if we
would not equally object to the government of any
Minister appointed over these realms at the instigation
of France, embued with French principles and secured
to French interests. Still one half the secret is un
known to our contemporaries ; or they dissimulate most
shamefully. The French,—better politicians than Lon-
don Whig and Tory wranglers in domestic brawls,—go
farther than the mere surface. They know that Pouc-
/sac and his paltry muster of insignificant adherents
come into the arena to fight the battle of the Goth,—
that the strings of this puppet are held by an expert
hand at Vienna, and the Austrian's disciples at
Saint James's.—lt is not the poor automaton they
fear, but the malevolent agitators that dance him.
They anticipate the desolating necessity of a renewed
struggle with despotism, Jesuitism, and barbarism.—
They know the creature, adventuring beyond his force,
sighs for the days of arbitrary power and "petits
savers," the times of Cardinal Machiavelism, Lettres
de Cachets, bag wigs and pigeon wings ; and that, if
his timid genius refuses him the audacity openly to at-
tack liberal institutions, he will steal and skulk in a de-
structive influence, at the command of the great master
spirit, who knows so well how to work mischief with
such a tool. The fate of Spain, Italy, and lately Portugal,
corroborates their just cause of apprehension. Their
Constitution is yet too young to permit them to sleep
over its danger. Scorning to be the passive, hacknied,
temporising slaves that exercise the London Press, they
manfully stick up for their Constitution ; and, being Con-
stitutional, they seek to see its principles promulgated
over the whole face of Europe ; and, seeking that, they
regard all enemies of these principles, the blessings of
which they enjoy and appreciate, as the foes of human
happiness, independence, and improvement.

*

Now that the danger which appalled us with just alarm draws
sear ; and Russia, under favour of English political imbecility, is
at last on the point of effecting the consummation of her long food
wish, the Journals—an syrup and approving consplacence--mooe-

rate the treacherous guardians of our interests from all charge of
weakness and neglect ; and endeavour to screen their mischievous in-
capacity, by making light of the awful and destructive consequences
which one more Russian victory will entail upon this country. Once
seated on the Dardanelles. Russia, unequalled in might, will sweep
the nags of nations from the seas of the Levant. With one hand
she will threaten oar commerce on the Mediterranean and the

Baltic ; and with the other our Government in India. Whelming
in power, she will dictate to Europe ; and Europe, to resist, must
again unite in mass—and, at an incalculable expense of blood and
treasure, must cope with the enemy at a distance and in deserts.
Thanks to the policy and foresight of British Ministers ! But
the error is not irremediable. A peace can be clapped up at
Constantinople, and Turkey preserved I—What dupery! What
drivelling !—Turkey saved,—and two Russian armies within a
short march of her capital!—save the bind from the wolf when his
claws are embrued in his vitals,—when, torn and expiring, he Nes
palpitating and dislocated never to recover !—Save Turkey!—let
us save ourselves--for it is time ;—and meanwhile, let us vote
statues to our Ministers; for, should we forget them, posterity
will not.

The Columbian frigate, Cundemamerca, put into
Santa Martha previous to the sailing of the Bristol,—
having sprung her fore-mast in her way to Porto Cabello.
General Santander was on board as a passenger, under

nor of Santa Martha was not permitted to have any com-

bello, to be under the surveillance of his friend Paez.
Private letters mention that Bolivar is not quite sa-
tisfied with the title of Liberater President, as he con-
siders that his services to the Republic entitle him to
higher marks of distinction—he aims at the Imperial
Diadem.
Accounts from Bogota, of the 7th June, state that Bo-
Ltv e a was still at Quito ; and the Colombian troops only
waited the dry season to attack Guyaquil.

ticularly gold, which is at 20 per cent. prem.
Accounts from Carthagena of 18th July, state, that an
order had been received from the seat of Government at

or sheet Macaronies 25 per cent.

CURIOUS MISTAH E.—A provincial Paper, in publish-
ing the proceedings in the Courts of Law, states, that a criminal
conversation was moved for by a Counsel, and after beating arta-
meats pre and mos. the rale was made absolute by the Court.
THE WIT OF A FOOL.—" What is the thinnest thing
you ever saw ?" asked a man, of a half-witted fellow, who, how-
ever, sometimes gave extremely shrewd answers. a Why," be
replied, "it was the thick end of a thin piece of cheese !" " Why,
you blockhead," returned the other, " bow could that be; the
other end must have been thinner still?* " Hal" exclaimed the
simpleton triumphantly, " but the ether end was so bloomd thin you
costsil as it at all /" As Mathews says, " I heard this myself!"
