The following is an account of the loss of the brig Helen, of
Greenock, 216 tons, Jamas Kass, Master and sole Owner, with
timber, for Portsmouth Dock-yard:—On the Bth of Septem-
ber she sailed from Buccari, in the Gulf of Venice, seven miles
from Fiume, and experienced very heavy weather the whole
way. On the 17th of September, about four o'clock in the
morning, at about 130 miles N.K. of Ushante, as she was scud-
ding, a sea broke into her over her tafrail, and completely broke
all the beams of her quarter-deck, carried away the mizen-mast,
land washed two men overboard, who were lost (David Scott a
seaman, and Archibald M'Kechnle, the cook), together with
the boats. It was she second mate's watch, and when the acci-
dent happened, they were in the act of calling out the next watch.
The Master and all hands were soon on deck, after being nearly
drowned below. The main-mast was directly cut away to wear
her, as she had broached too. She soon became full of water,
and all hands had to look out for their immediate preservation ;
some lashed themselves to the stump of the main-mast, and the
others got into the fore rigging; at length she got so settled, that
all were obliged to secure themselves in the foretop. The Mu-
ter was so exhausted from fatigue, that be was obliged to be
hauled up under the top, for they could get him no further,
where be was lashed, and about four r.st. he expired. About
nine a.m. of the 18th a French brig took the survivors up about
eight leagues from Cherbourg, viz. William Daw, mate ; Ro-
bert Weir, second mate ; John Dias, carpenter ; Andrew Acker,
George M'Killop, John Peters, Robert Brown, Urquarti,
seamen; and Robert Kerr, son of the Master, from the foneasp,l
and left the Master dead dere. She carried them to
and they arrived at Portsmouth on the 6th November, aligl
good health, by the Alfred packet, but with the kiss of every
article belonging to them. They remained on the wreck with
nothing but their shirts, except the second mate and boy:

gifted individual may come to the Throne, it is eer.
tainly possible that he may be led to infer, froin the
Bishop's application of our English political atiom,
(that " the Korn can do no wrong,") that he has a
riSbe to debauch all the Ladies of the Court; and
that, by a fictitious construction, not he, but the *Mi.
nisters Fat she time being, coistmit the act of adultery!
The observation of the Loan CHANCELLOR that,
" as to recriseirmlionohe had not been able to find
any authority in the Bible, which stated that a wo-
man who had committed adultery was to be consi-
dered hum:eat, because her husband did the same
thing," deserves some notice, from the singular sub-
stitution of innocence, in the conclusion of the sen-
tence, for recrimination in the commencement. The
question—and his Lordship knows it—is not whether
a woman who has committed such an act shall be
held innocent, hut whether, if her husband has com-
mitted the same act—and, especially, if in any way
he has contributed to her crime—be shall obtain a
verdict in a court of law against his wife? The
LORD CMANCRLLOR knows, as well as Any man in
England, that if any Riau come into Court, to seek
for a remedy in such a case. " he must come with
clean hands r
But as the Loan CHANCELLOR has been examining
his Bible, with respect to the crime of adultery, we
beg to refer him to a passage which applies to the
case of those who sit as Accusers and Judges, and
which we would recommend his Lordship to read to

the Haase the next time he talks about Scripture,
when be ought to talk of the law of England. The
passage to which we allude is in the eighth chapter
of John's Gospel ; and as this book is rather ancient,
-and not to be found in every Nobleman's library, we
shall quote the words:
" The Scribes and Pharisees brought unto Jasc•s a

wit Lin the time limited by the rules of the Nouse ; for if
• was a mere .after-thought, certainly no such permission ought

,o be granted.
I.ord D.IRNLEY was surprised that a plea of Yon mi ricordo
Ottr.iid meet with such disfavour from the Noble Earl opposite
—.':such I:7ughter)..--lie thought he was at least entitled to as
much favour from that Noble Lord, as his 'Protegee, Majocchi,
Lai received from him when at the bar—(Cuntipstsefl laughter).
Lind ERSKINE said, that though he bad the honour of'
beina a scotchman, he would not be 44 dumped" in the way pro-
rased. Ills plea was, that he had been prevented by illness
!rem signing with his friends: He would wait, however, the re-
sat of the motion, of which notice had been given by his Noble
Fr:end (Lord Holland).
The subject here dropped.
I.,rd 110 WA RD ro,e to correct a misrepresentation of his
,i,,,ch on the second reading of the Bill, which had appeared in
the Times newspaper. Ile had been represented as saying that
the proceeding was an odious one. He had never said anything
(..- the kind. He had concurred with the Noble Lord at the
I,,ad of the Treasury, in the introduction of the measure, and
.uuld never have meant to turn round new and condemn it in toto.
The I louse now resolved itself into a Committee on the Bill.
The Archbishop of TUA M.—" My Lords, it is with the
,ttr.ust pain that I offer myself to the notice of your Lord-
ships, which I should not have done, had it not been for the
i •ry direct manner in which the Body, of which I form a part,
were called upon by the Noble and Learned Lord who spoke
I. st yesterday. My Lords, I will refer you to the 32d verse
•;' the sth chapter of the Gospel according to St. Matthew.
My mind has long been made up to vote against the Divorce
rlause from that very verse, but if I can chew that the Illustri-
eus Lady whose conduct has been so long under consideration
had been put away by her husband, if I also show from the
Holy Scriptures a solemn denunciation from the law against
such putting away, then shall I shew sufficient ground to
Induce me to vote against the Divorce clause, which would
o lease the Ring from his marriage contract and leave him at
Ilbeety to marry again. That such a putting away of the
v.ife did take place is abundantly evident from the letter of
,'ne husband, to which alone I would beg leave to refer
The denunciation to which I have alluded is in the second
'Lister of the Prophet Malachi, when for literally putting away
wile, the face of the Lord was turned away from the people,
nd he regarded not their offerings. The temples resounded
ith the lamentations of the women; and the Prophet esta-
fished his charge against them as a crying sin, by reminding
hem of the first institution of marriage. The God of Israel
ath said, "he heteth all putting away." My Lords, I stand here
most unwfiling judge in this cause, and I will candidly confess to
tour Lordships, that nothing but force and the heavy penalties
Wilt your Lordships have attached to absence, would have
impelled me to attend this distressing investigation. I have
ern: brought here by compulsion—forced from the most im-
ortant duties, which no one but myself could be called upon to
ertUrm, and which have been suspended three months in con-
.luencs of my absence. But, however reluctantly I have come
-re, I have paid every attention in my power to the whole of
• z evidence on both sides—to the very able arguments of Coml-
!, and to the eloquent speeches of Noble Lords in the various
iews they have taken of this cause. I have attended every day
hour—and, I may almost say, every minute; and I have
:cd for the second reading of this Bill, because no other
was before the House, in which I could declare that a
-wry, and irresistible case bad been made out of the
Queen. But as to this Divorce Clause, my Lords,
reconcile myself to give it my sanction ; and if it
this Committee as a part of the Bill, I cannot give it
ippon; fur I would rather have the conduct of the
unnoticed, than that a Divorce should be added

PRESEYTATIOIV OP A ;PUSH FLAG.

-

PIItStUtATION Or A" WELSH FLAG !! Some
months sincia Cambrian Society was formed, to pro-
mote preaching in the Welsh language on board of
ships in the Thames. At a recent Meeting of the
Committee the Rev. G. C. SMITH, of Penzance, re.
, commended the establishment of Welsh Prayer Meet..
ings, and offered to have a flag made, as a signal.
On Sunday last, the sth inst. this Minister, accom-
panied by Captains and Seamen from different parts
of the Thames, and Members of the Bethel Union
Society, attended on board the Hope, Capt. Jonas,
of Aberystwith, to present a Welsh flag publicly, on
the part of this Institution, to their Brethren of the
Principalities. The Hope lay in a tier of ships off
Pickle Herring Stairs, opposite the Tower; her deck
was crowded—several respectable females attended
—the new flag was very large ; a blue ground, yel-
low star, and a dove, with an olive branch in its
mouth, and the words 66 CYFARFOD GWIDDI," signi-
fying Prayer Meetings, in large white letters, adorned
the centre. Mr. SMITH stood by the helm abaft ; a
studding-sail boom was raised perpendicular close
to him, and supported by two seamen; one part of
the flag was lashed to the upper part of the boom,
and the fly of it was carried out, and made fast to
the main rigging on the larboard side. The Service
commenced at eleven o'clock, by reading and prayer; ,
a pious Captain and sailor, from the Lower Pool,
implored a Divine Blessing. Mr. SMITH then ad-
dressed the assembly from Psalm ix. 5.—" In the
name of our GOD we will set up our banners : the
LORD fulfil all thy petitions." He remarked, that
banners or standards were usually raised to distin-
guiA an army, to invite to battle, or to announce a
triumph. Thus the flag Bethel with English sailors,
and CYFARFOD GWIDDI with Welsh. Whenever

these were hoisted, they would distinguish them as
the friends of religion and social order; invite them
to the conflict of faith ; and announce these triumphs
through CHRIST,: the great Captain of their Salvation.
The Minister then, grasping the pole, expressed his
high satisfaction in presenting his brother seamen of
Wales with the significant flag ; he had long been a
flag officer in Lord Nelson's fleet, and raised many a
flag, but none with so much pleasure as this. When
England was threatened with invasion,VolunteerCorps
were formed, and colours were presented unto them;
but these invited to the shedding of human blood,
and the destruction of our species. 61 CTFARIPoD
GWIDDI," on the contrary, was the standard of peace.
the star directed to the SAVIOUR, the dove announced
the wrath of Jenovau assuaged; and the words CT-
TARIPOD GwIDDi enjoining Prayer for all men, and
for all in authority. The Church of old had sung,
" His banner over me is love." Such is the flag now
presented to you; it breathes love to GOD, to CHRIST,
to Man, and to one another. By this shall all men
know that ye are CHRIST'S disciples, if ye love one
another. To-day you see on this deck sailors and
friends of all denominations, who meet to hail your
progress in Christianity. May " CitTARIPoD GWIDDt"
soon be hoisted in every port in Wales, and in every
part of the world where a Welsh ship sails. This
interesting Service closed by a Captain And Sailor
belonging to the Upper Pool publicly commending
their Welsh brethren to GOD. The approaching
Annual Meeting of the British and Foreign Seamen s
Friend Society, and Bethel Union, was then an-
nounced, and the assembly informed that this flag
would be displayed at the City of London Tavern
on that occasion. By a curious coincidence, the
Tower guns, for the sth of November, fired their'
usual salute just as Me Meeting closed.

The death of H. H. ST. PAUL, Esq. makes a va-
cancy in the representation of Berwick.
The wife of W. M,Farlane near Cambuskenneth
Abbey, died suddenly on the morning of Sunday
se'nnight, while she was in the act of preparing break-
fast for her children.

Last week, W. Stoney, underground agent to Mr.
Askwith's lead-mines, in Nidderdale, stopped. the
pumping machinery for some repairs, after which he
went up and let the water on the wheel again, when
(it not coming off so quick as he wished) he applied
his foot to assist it at the very moment all the buckets
were full. It unexpectedly went off with the velocity
of lightning ; he lost his balance, and went with it,
and in a moment was crushed to death. His body
was, with difficulty, got out, as it wedged the wheel
with the rock.

At Selbourne, as Stephen Lintott, a boy about
nine years of age, was playing with other children
under a sand-bank, a quantity of sand slipped from
the top, and caused suffocation.
Thursday, as a woman named Cole, whobad been
washing on board the Clarence, in Portsmouth har-
bour, was in the act of reaching water from the cask
in the chains, she fell overboard and was drowned.
Tuesday, a scaffold erected in front of a house in
the High-street, Portsmouth, gave way, and Mr.
Laver, and one of the labourers, were precipitated
to the ground from the top of the building. Mr.
Laver has broken his thigh in two plates, and also
fractured his jaw. The other man is much bruised.,
Last week, Mary Bowler, a very fine girl about
