MUNICIPAL ELECTION.CONSERVATIVE TRIUMPH IN
LANCASTER:=We have to congratulate oar fead'ers on
another triumph fOr the conservative cause in Lancaster. . In
consequence of the death of Mr. Councilman Parkinson, a
vacancy occurred in the council for the representation of St.
Anne's ward, and yesterday was fixed for the poll. The can-
didates were, Mr. W. Threlfall, on the conservative side,
and Mr. R. Charnley for the radicals. The result was as
follows at the close :—Threlfall, 139 ; Charnley, 119. The
conservatives thus winning by 20 votes ! This triumph is
the greater because St. Anne's has been considered the
radical strong-hold, most of the factories lying in it.—
Lancaster Gazette.
AURORA BOREALIS.—This singular phenomenon which
has so frequently appeared during the last few years, was wit-
nessed at Kendal, on the evenings of Tuesday and. Wedne-
sday last, in great brilliancy, especially on the former even-
ing ;it commenced about half-past eight with a full blue light
in the north, similar to the light seen a few hours after sunset
in the height of summer, during fine weather, afterwards ri=
sing in single bright pillars to the zenith; and, gradually in-
creasing, comprehended a large space of the heavens, rushed
about from place to place with incredible velocity, and some-
times Covering the whole sky up to the zenith. We never
saw a stronger light given by the Aurora; it being equal to
that of the moon in her second quarter: Oh Wednesday
evening it commenced in a similar manner as on the evening
previous, but was Of short duration, the sky being overcast
about half-past nine.—Carlisle Patriot.
FALSE TEETH versus MATRIMONIAL PLEDGES.—At a
trial which recently took place in Kendal county, Ohio, a
Miss Lasher recovered some 139 dollars from a Mr. Smith,
for refusing to marry her according to agreement. The de-
fendant insisted, as his excuse, that his inamorata wore false
teeth, and false curls, to boot, of a different colour from her
own natural hair; and that, with all due deference to the
court, he did not agree to marry any such things as these.
But the jury gallantly decided, that false teeth and false curls
were very good things in their, place, and that even if the
plaintiff wore them; " a gal's a gal for a' that," and so
mulcted the defendant in damages. So Johnny Smith had
to walk up and pay over his sovereign " cure all" for
wounded affections and broken hearts. We advise all ardent
beaux to profit by the example of John Sthith, and inspect
their future wives as they would the horses that they wished
to buy, by looking at their teeth. The law settled above
renders it incumbent for one to do so at the outset, or suffer
the consequences.—Rochester.Advertiser.
AURORA BOREALIS, OR NORTHERN LIGIITS.—This beau-
tiful meteoric phenomenon, occurred with peculiar brilliancy
on the evening of Wednesday last. Luminous streamers
began to make their appearance in the north at about nine
'o'clock, and they continued to increase in intensity until
nearly ten. Commencing below the horizon, they appeared
to pierce almost into the vault of heaven, and exhibited those
rapid changes and flick rings, attended with occasional
coruscations, with which these phenomena are usually ac-
companied. Uthough never witnessed, except in the clearest
and calmest evenings, northern lights ace almost invariably
the precursors of heavy gales from the south or south-west
within a period of 24 hours from their appearance. We per-
ceive from the London papers, that the same phenomena
which were noticed in this neighbourhood on the Wednes-
day occurred in the metropolis on Tuesday night ; indeed
the frequency of the appearapee of these meteors of late
years is in itself a most remarkable fact. Every autumn
now presents US 'with several instances, whereas almost half
of the last century elapsed without even one. When so rare
they naturally created a good deal of alarm amongst the un-
educated classes, who looked upon them as the forerunners
of pestilence or war—but now we do not hear of their being
regarded with any sort of superstitious terror, even amongst
the least enlightened of our countrymen. The phenomenon
itself has never been fully explained, not even by Captain
Ross's ingenious new theory, and we are half inclined to
think that a careful investigation of all the circumstances
attending it—its connection with magnetism and electricity
—with meteorology, &c. would be a matter far more de-
serving of a grant from the funds of the British Assciciation,
than any other objects to which we perceive large sums of
money were voted last week.--Staffordshire Gazette.

A SAGACIOUS ELEPHANT. —The magnificent elephant
Bolivar, who arrived in this country a short time since in the
New York liner the President, is one of the most sagacious,
docile, and intellectual animals of his species ever seen. His
gentle behaviour on the voyage rendered him a great favourite
with the passengers ; and it was the general practice with the
ladies after dinner to feed him with fruit and biscuits. He
was sometimes, too, indulged with a bowl of wine or brandy
and water, which he always drank with extraordinary avidity.
Upon one occasion a little boy, about four years of age, be-
longing to one of the passengers, wandered to that part of the
deck where the elephant's shed was erected ; he at length
contrived to creep into the shed. The child's mother be-
coming alarmed at his absence commenced searching for him
about the ship. She at last proceeded to the elephant's shed,
and was horrorstruck on perceiving her child very compo-
sedly endeavouring to encircle with his little arms one of the
ponderous legs of this gigantic animal, and expected every
instant he would be crushed to atoms by the elephant moving
his foot. Bolivar, however, stood still until his little uncon-
cerned companion came forward, when he lifted him care-
fully up with his trunk and placed him unharmed on the
deck, to the infinite joy of the distracted mother. The ele-
phant was formerly in the Tower menagerie ; but when that
was broken up he was taken to New York, and has since been
exhibited all over the union.—Times.

ADHESIVENESS OF TIMDER.—At one of the sectional
meetings of the British Association, last week, Mr. Eaton
Hodgkinson read a table of different species of woods, and
the power which they possess to resist a force tending to

We have been asked the question from Liverpool—What
is the shortest passage that has been made between Halifax
and any port in the British Channel? We will thank our
Naval Friends to furnish us with answer. The shortest we
have heard of is the Tenedos frigate, in 11 days and 12 nights,
to Portsmouth ' • of other short assages across the Atlantic,
we hear the IVa rspile 74, came from the Brandy Pots, near
Quebec, in 14 days 6 hours ; and the Niger, from Sunday to
the following Saturday, from St. John's, Newfoundland,
both to Portsmouth. The Revolulionnaire, we are told, ran
from Sandy Hook Light to the Lizard Light, in 11 days.—

CHESTER GAREISOI4.-Sir Hussey Vivian, master gene-
ral of the ordnances, accompanied by Major . Rivers, com-
manding royal engineer of the Manchester district, paid an
official visit to this garrison on Saturday last. Sir Hussey
minutely inspected both the officers' and soldiers barracks,
also the stores and magazines at the castle. We understand
Sir Hussey expressed himself highly satisfied with the good
order and efficient state of this establishment. After passing
through the government portion of the castle, Sir Hussey,
accompanied by Lady Vivian, visited the and dif-
ferent apartments of the County Gaol, and were greatly pleased
with the internal arrangements and general appearance of
this truly beautiful pile of buildings.—Chester Chronicle.
A novel operation took place in Chatham Dock-yard last
week, that of lengthening the Gleaner steam-vessel, which had
been taken into the dock for that purpose. She was sawn in
two a little more than one-third of her length from her stern,
and ways were laid from the fore part of her to tread on, the
purchase falls were rove, and brought to two capstans, and the
order being given by the master shipwright; the men hove
away, and in five minutet the fore section was separated from
the after part a distance of 18 feet. The space between will
now be filled up by new timber. There is no record of any
ship or vessel having been lengthened in this dockyard before
the Gleaner.

INSOLVENTS' ADVERTISEMENTS.—By the first section of
the Act (2 and 3 Vict. c. 39) to amend the Imprisonthent for
Debt Act of the previous session, it is 'enacted " that from
and after the passing of the Act all printers and proprietors
of newspapers shall, and arc hereby required hi insert any ad-
vertisement or adveftiteinents by the said recited act directed
to be inserted in any.newspaper, on payment of a reasonable
compensation for the insertion thereof, in such form as the
said Court, or any Commissioner thereof, shall from time to
time direct." In future, therefore, all such advertisements
will be charged according to the scale of prices of the news-
papers in which they appear.

ELECTION FOR TIPPERARY.—A CONSERVATIVE IN THE
FIELD.—Mr. Vice-president Sheil, we are glad to find, will
not be allowed to walk over the course of Tipperary. An
address in the Clonmel Constitution and Nenagh Guardian
to the freeholders of that county, assures them that a gen-
tleman in every way qualified to represent this county in
parliament—one who will command the resPett andeonfiden'ce
of all partiesand whose object in going to parliament will
be to attend to th'e ini'6le-sis of his conitituents, and not to
gratify his own avaricious disposition and selfish ambition,
will be ready at the day of election. •
LONDON AND HOLYHEAD ROAD.—From the 15th report
of the London and Holyhead road, which is just published,
it appears that the tolls on the trusts from St. Alban's to
Birmingham had been diminished about one half for the half-
year ending 29th of March, 1830,
_compared with the year
1836 ; but notwithstanding, the amount was little IeSS than
that received in rat 1817'. The railway, it is therefore
stattd, liar not produced any great injury to turnpike trusts.
Its most pernicious effect is that of reducing in value, or of
wholly destroying an immense amount of property vested by
innkeepers, coach proprietors, and other persons in the great
traffic which existed in 1837.

A porter of .La Rochelle, says a letter from that town,
named Jacques Supet, and who was born on the 4th August,
1739, having been attacked, when already at an advanced age,
with a severe illneest•Made a vow that if 11e. reenVered, and
attained the age of 100;.be Woad go to OntriAi batefoOted,
tend his bOtIY covered with no other clothing than a pair ,of
linen dtawers. On the 13th August, being then 100 years
and nine days old, he literally performed his vow, walking
through the streets, which were wet and cold, supported by
two friends, the youngest of whom was past 98, and attended
mass in the church of Saint Sauveur.
VAN AMBURGH.—The most absurd statements al?Otit M.
Van Amburgh are making, the round of the French press.
In a Sort of biography of Ilia. gentleman; we are told that
his irob-rite amusement in America was to walk into the
woods and tame bears, which he left at liberty, and visited
from time to time as old acquaintances. One bear which he
called Job, was, however, his travellinr, companion.. Being
at sea with this bear,. M. Vaii Andmirg7li Sm. Si shark, and
jumped overboard With an iron bar in hiS hand; NJ tame the
Monster.. The. shark, hOtkrever, got hold of the bar, and
br,,i.,ing let it drop to .the bottom, was about to make a meal
Of the man who had volunteered the task of civilising him,
when, in despair, Van 'Amburgh called to Job, who was qui-
etly looking on, confident of his' master's power, and
expecting to see the shark come on board as a docile pupil.
Job obeyed the call, and jumped overboard to assist the
shark-tamer. .He immediately, says the biographer, caught
the monster round the waist, and with one fraternal hug,
squeesed the breath out of his body. The shark Alra9 drawn
into the ship by means of a hobk and 'JO, reward
of hiS yaloht, was

MonnEn.—A most cruel murder has been perpetrated by
a party of Irishmen working at the SponAane works, west
Bromwich, on the body of an inoffensive and resFeetable
man. It appears `thrit there are two beer-sh Ops in Spon-
lane,. in; one of which the Irishmen hak-e it.stied an Order
that no one shall enici. tinder .fear of their resentment.. On
Saturday night, a highly"-respectable man, named Thomas
Barrett, in the employ of Messrs. Chance, of Spon-lane,
took a friend into the interdicted house for the purpose of
giving him a glass of ale ; they stayed talking there for
• some time, and on leaving to go home a party of about forty
Irishmen met them, and attacked them with relentless fury ;
poor Barrett was soon killed, and the. monsters then beat
his friend uptil be became insensible, when their left him a
SUppoSed bort* beside the dead body of Barrett: On the
Irishmen retreating, the Wounded man was removed to a
plaCe of- safety, but no hopes are entertained of his surviving.
As many as twenty. of the gang have been apprehended
as being caenNted with the murder, and a coroner's jury
has been summoned to inquire into the foul deed: Since
the perpetration of, this diabolical outrage; the Englishmen
in MessrsA Chance's employ have refused - to' continua in
their employ unless the IriShnien in the Works are immedi-
ately discharged.—Stafford Examiner.
ENOUGH OF THE Wittos.—The imposter vehemently pro-
claims to the people of Ireland that " nothing has been done
for Ireland." What ! nothing done for Ireland during nine
years of whig rule—for one half of which period he himself
was lord protector over those Whigs, and lord parathount
over a reformed House of Commons ? Nothing done for
Ireland by those ministers who, by the talismanic touch of
this wlEard, were metamorphosed
.from " base, brutal, and
bloody whigs" into the only friends to " justice, impartial
justice," for Ireland !—the " only good government that
- ever existed for Ireland "—the " best possible government ?"
How comes - this most saddening announcement ? He sus-
tained thOse whigs ; he. coerced those whigs ; he urged the
catholic, peasantry to oppoSe their best landlords by acts of
sanguary violence, and the catholid prelates and clergy to
violate their most solemn engagements, in supporting those
whigs ; and praCtised, and he still practises, the most vile
extortions upon all for' his own maintenance, as patron of
those whigs. - He had whigs in the cabinet and whigs in the
Court, whigs in the palace, whigs in the castle, whig govern-
ment in Ireland, whig ministers exercising power through-
out the entire united kingdom, Whig appointments to every
department in the state, whigs in the courts, whigs in the
customs, whigs in the excise, Whigs in treasury, whigs in the
Home-office', whigs in the Foreignoffice, whigs in the Colo-
nial-office, whigs in the India-board, whig law officers, whig
representatives from Ireland, whig majorities in the House
of Commons, whig legislators, whig laws, whig commis-
sions, whig commissioners, whig reports, whig sheriffs,
whig justice, whig journals, whig organization, whig agita-
tion, whig associations; whig societies, whig meetings, whig
dinners, whig toasts, Whig speeches, whig resolutions, whig
petitions, whig letters, whig trade unions whig political
unions, whig repeaters, whig pacificators, whig precursors,
whig justice-rent, whig sacred fund, and, though last not
least in his estimation, whig tribute for the imposter—yet
" nothing has been done for Ireland."—Eneas M`Donnell's
Letter to the Times.

A SMATTERING OF GERMAN.—I remember some years
ago going into the Chapel Royal, where a gentleman was
preaching away with much fervour andenction. Of course,
I listened with the most profound attention, but was not
lucky enough to catch the thread of his discourse. I could
gather up a word here and there. He spoke much of David
in Psalmen, Jeremy Prophetic, Paulus in Epistola, and so
forth ; but though I tasked my patience to the utmost, I
could not get on. Ile was to me the most unintelligible old
divine I had ever met—the inscriptions on the parymids were
easy compared-to So 'I gave it 'up at last, and left the
chapel rather more annoyed than became a man of my known
piety. Well, I met out side the door a beadle, a verger,
or some other official of that kind ; and wishing to obtain
from him the name of the preacher,l approached the inquiry
in an insinuating wanner. Pray, sir, (said I) what is the
name of that very clever gentleman who is preaching inside
at present ?" " Dat fary clever man, sare, (said the function-
ary of the doorway) his name's Kruger. Do you think him
fary clever, sare ?" " Decidedly, (rreplied, with all the ill
faith of a reviewer puffing a book of which he has read but
the title page) decidedly, one of the cleverest preachers I ever
heard." On which the man in office, with eyes beaming with
joy, extended his hand as to an old acquaintance, and grunted
forth something like S'prach en. sie Deutsch ? I was obliged
to confess that I had not studied the language of the
Hounlniyms with all the attention that perhaps it deserved,
and could not offer any reply to the question. " 'Och, den,
(said he) you ton't understand Sherman. Den how der
teuful do you know dat Toctor Kruger is a clever man, when
his preaching was all Sherman ?" I was thus discovered •,
and on beating my retreat~ vowed that I never would pretend
to know any thing about German again, let it sound ever so
like English.—Dr. Ill' Ginn.
VEGETATIVE POWER OF SEA SAND.—A few days since
a quantity of sea sand was carried out of Morecambe Bay,
about a mile from the Furness shore. It had been less than
an hour previously, covered a considerable depth in the tide,
and contained several cockles and other shell-fish. It was
immediately placed in pits or beds, 15 inches in depth, and
sown without manure or admixture of any kind—just in the
state it was when taken from the bay—with wheat, barley,
peas, mustard, cress, and raddish seed. In five days the mus-
tard, cress, and raddish seed had sprouted, and began to ve-
getate, having thrown out a considerable length of root,
whilst (what is most extraordinary) the shell-fish were even
then quite alive ! Thus we have wheat, barley, peas, mustard,
and cress, raddishes, all growing, and cockles and other shell-
fish in a-living state, in one and the same bed of sea-sand!
Should any one be at all incredulous as to the truth of this
statement he can easily try the experiment himself ; an ordi-
nary flower pot filled with sea-sand, sown in with almost any
kind of seeds, would at once put the matter to the test.
Common hay seeds, sown in October last in beds of sand
similar to the above, and treated exactly in the same way,
have grown to the extraordinary height of 3 feet 64 inches.
Some wheat sown about Christmas last (now in ear), 3 feet
9 inches; barley do., 3 feet 3 inches; peas sown about April
last (in full flower), 3 feet; peas sown about April last (pods
completely formed), 3 feet 2 inches. • The farmers all around
the Bay of Morecambe, in forming composts for their wheat
and barley crops, use of sea-sand about 26 carts (small one-
horse carts), lime about four carli, manure ten carts, per
statute acre. Why use so great Rilluantity of sea-sand if it
does not possess very considerable vegetative power ?
London Paper.

A severe hail-storm was experienced at Milan on the 20th
t. Many of the stones weighed two ounces and a half.

HINT to GARRENERS.—At a meeting of the Entomologi-
cal Society on Tuesday evening, Mr. T. Fennell communi-
cated a new method of preventing the destructive ravages of
caterpillers and earwigs on fruit trees, which he had prac-
tised with much success. He employs Indian-rubber sub-
mitted to the action of heat till it has lost all its solidity and
becomes a viscid juice. With this he saturates twine, which
is twined round the stem of the tree in various parts, and ef-
fectually prevents the insects getting up. The value of three-
pence is sufficient for the protection of twenty fruit trees.
We understand ‘a singular wedding took place at Boden-
ham, in this county, during the late deep floods. Arrange-
ments had been made by a worthy couple to get married ; the
day was fixed and everything ready, when unfortunately the
river Lug overflowed, and the spot where the church stood
, was deeply inundated on the very morning the happy cere-
mony was to take place. Determined, however, not to be
disappointed, a cart was hired, which conveyed the party to
the doors of the church, where they found the water was very
deep inside'; they, however, procured benches, upon which

THE BOLTON CHARTISTS.—John Warden, member of the
convention, and Geo. Lloyd, the two chartist leaders, who
were first apprehended and have traversed until the next as-
sizes, have found bail, it appears, for their appearance when
required. As they arrived, per railway, at home, on Mon-
day last, it is stated that the chartists intend to give them a
public dinner. The late arrests have had a powerful effect
upon the Working Men's Association of Bolton ; for, last
week, eight or ten of the members of the committee sailed
for New York in the .Silas Richards, and others have left the
town. Manchester Guardian.
It was determined that the next meeting of the British As-
sociation should be held at Glasgow on the 17th of Septem-
ber, 1840, and the Marquis of Breadalbane was elected the
• president. In addition to this appointment, Principal Mac-
farlan, the president of the Glasgow University, Sir David
Brewster, and Sir Thomas Brisbane, were chosen vice-presi-
dents ; Mr. Murchison, and Major Sabine, general secreta-
ries ; and Professor Phillips, assistant general secretary for
the ensuing year. Singe the domineneeinent of the meeting
in this plade a very considerable addition has been made to
the list of members, and the contributions to the funds have
been liberal. The report of the concluding meeting of the
society, held at the Town-hall, on Saturday, closed the pro-
ceedings, and nearly all the members of the association have
left the town.—Birmingham Gazette.

IMPORTANT TO PUBLICANS.—AI the Brewster Sessions

for the Lower Division of Strafforth and Tickhill, last week,
W. B. Wrightson, Esq. M. P., the chairman, called the at-
tention of the publicans prepent to a clause in an Act of Par:
liameot 57th Geo.-111. C. 11, which, although not generally
known, is still in force, prohibiting persons who keep licensed
houses from allowing illegal meetings and clubs assembling
therein. The act gave the Magistrates the power of taking
away the license, on proof being given of the holding of such
meetings, providing the landlord encouraged them ; and the
Magistrates thought it their duty, in consequence of late pro-
ceedings in different parts of the country, to caution the pub-
licans as to their future conduct with regard to them.

men Of thb 'Cori-eeit committee and their friends gave a dinner
to Mr. Bishop, at the Albion hotel ; Mr. D. Belhouse, jun.
in the chair. In the course of the evening, Mr. Brandt, the
barrister, in a very neat and feeling address, presented to Mr.
Bishop, in the name of his friends, a very handsome gold
snuff-box, with an inscription indicative of their esteem for
his genius and talent. Mr. Bishop made a suitable reply,
acknowledging the high gratification and deep obligations
which the kindness of his friends ih Manchester had cons

ferred upon him, and assuring them of his lasting and grate-
ful remembrance of the happy hours and flattering reception
he had enjoyed in Manchester: A very delightful evening
was spent.—Manchester Gaqi•digh.

THE MALT DISTILLERY AT WORCESTER.—The great
malt distillery at Worcester, which originated in 1729, is at
length to exchange hands, through Mr. Robins's instrumen-
tality. It is a singular instance of extraordinary and unde-
viating good fortune progressing
.through a long line of an-
cestry, during a period, of lio,years; that It has never Had to
dread a rival; and has remained in the same family through.-.
out generation after generation followed; and in every case,
retired with a splendid independence. Mr. Williams, the
present opulent and venerable proprietor (who, by the way;
is the oldest Magistrate in the county), is retiring with an
immense fortune, leaving to a successor (if he follow in the
same honourable course of dealing and be equally assiduous)
a prospect most inviting. It will not yield in its importance,
nor its gains, to 0-1 y iemitempprart,, and it is a §ingttlar fart

that thi'Otighbiit Ennland there are only tWelve malt distille-

Bristol, will rerider.the task of getting rich; at a railway
pace," beyond the possibility of dotibt; The Capital rentiired
will necessarily be considerable ; however, lots of the pur-
chase money, it is stated, may remain on solid security.—
Worcestershire Paper.
TUE MARQUIS OF LANSDOWNE'S JOBS.—It was announ-
ced last week, that on Sunday the 18th the Marquis of Lans-
downe had taken his departure from Dover for Ostend. The
Lord President of the Council left much unfinished public
business to the
.care of his colleagues. The Slave-Trade,
Bank of Ireland, and the provincial Police Bills, remained
for discussion and enactment. Mr. Spring Rice was in tilt
very crisis of his financial throes. " odds and ends"
were to be ttilitit tip ; And iritelligenee of the utmost Impor-
tance might haVe arrived from India, Syria; and Turkey.
Common decency, respect to his Sovereign and to Parlia-
Ment, ought to have kept the President of the Council at his
post at least till the Queen's prorogation speech had been
settled. But Lord Lansdowne cared for none
.of these
things. He waited till the Shannon. Bill was safe; :arid Off hb
went.,,,Tery particular paint did hit Lordship take to pilot
this bill through Parliament—and pour cause. Lord Mont-
eagle has suffered the brunt of public censure ; but had we
been aware of Lord Lansdowne's paramount interest in the
job, we should have taken care to direct a portion of it to-
wards that noble and grasping personage. The Marquis of
Lansdowne is, we understand, the real father of the project ;
having in 1834 put forward his late, son, the Earl of Kerry,
to moot it to the Housb of COminons. A Committee was
appointed; of which Lord Kerry was Oidirmari ; and the re,.
port was drawn up at Lanstlliwne Hoitiie. The reeult of this
movement—cautiously etnidiieted—is the ,Shannon grant of
£6,000,000 ; no small portion of which will go to-enrich the
Lansdown family. That this must happen, is evident from
the fact that the land on the west side of the Shannon, at
Wellesley Bridge, and thence stretching westward for a con-
siderable, distance, belongs to the Marquis. The enhance-
ment of his property by the building of Wellesley Bridge,
which cost the public XlOO,OOO, must hare been enormous.
It is the principal highway from the city of Limerick, With
its 60,000 inhabitants, into the very heart of an estate, pre-
viously not connected directly with the city. His Lordship
understands the management of these affairs. The Kenmare
and Bantry road and bridge was one of his smaller recreations.
This road cuts through another of his estates, and, at an ex-
pense to the public of about £30,000, brings an immense tract
of country to the very park-gates of Lansdowne Lodge.—
Should the Railway scheme for this part of Ireland succeed—
and we may be sure it has only been postponed, not aban-
doned—another immense outlay of English money will be
made on the property of this indefatigable jobber. The fa-
shion is to praise the personal disinterestedness of modern
statesmen. Bribes and peculation are nuknown in our day.
Men in office feel a lofty disdain of pelf ; and it has been gi-
ven out that the Marquis of Lansdowne declines the receipt
of salary. But he can well afford to despise a paltry £2,000
or £3,000 a year; who tises the influence of high office to
carry Shannon Bills. The Marquis belongs to a wiser gene-
ration than Harry Dundas. He keeps on the right side of
the law, and moves not except as `t the Act directs." Therein
lies the difference between old peculators and modetri jobbers.
The former were coarse practitioners, as inferior to their suc-
cessors, as the burglar or footpad is to the accomplished and
plausible gentleman who ruins you at ecart6.—Spectator.
CHURCH BUILDING Commissto..---=-The annual Report
of the Commissioners for Building New Churches has been
just issued. At the time of printing their last report, the
commissioners state that 225 churches and chapels had been
completed, in which accommodation had been provided for
297,912 persons, including 164,495 free seats, appropriated
to the use of the poor. Since that time, they report that 18
churches have been completed, affording accommodation for
16,000 persons, including 9,775 free seats for the poor,
making in the whole 243 churches and chapels, affording ac-
commodation for 314,412 persons, including 174,270 free seats
for the poor. In addition to these, 18 other new churches
are now building, and in a very forward state. The number
to be accommodated in pews is 7,207, and in free seats 9,949:
total 17,156. Plans for eight other churches have been ap-
proved of, and it is in contemplaticin to build eight others, at
various places. Conditional grants of money have been made
to 38 parishes, townships, or places, in aid of building churches
and chapels •, as also for providing sites for churches and
chapels in 46 other different places, interspersedly through-
out England. Applications for further church accommoda-
tion hate been made by the inhabitants of 47 districts, situate
respectively either in England or Wales. London, long here-
tofore designated "the city of churches," will soon, it is to
be hoped, better deserve that name, for as yet the wants in
this respect of its immense population are but half supplied.
It is most gratifying to observe, that so large a portion of the
"new buildings is set apart for the free use of the poor. The
more constrained habits of the people of this country do not
permit of the same description of accommodation being pro-
vided for all ; we are not sure that, under regulations, it would
not be betterjf it were otherwise, though undoubtedly the pre-
servation of order and decency in the conduct of Divine wor-
ship is more effectually secured by our system. Those who
have been in the Popish churches on the Continent; where the
distinction of pews is not generally adopted, cannot fail to have
observed, that on this account, as well as others, the service
is much less reverently conducted than with us, and surely
there is no place in which the strictest order and quiet are so
imperatively required. There, at certain parts of the service,
particularly upon the feast of the saints, nearly every one in
the church is in motion, and it presents more the appearance
of an exhibition room Ilan that of a place of public worship.
Still, important as it is to maintain a becoming order, as
little distinction as possible should be made, amounting, it
seems to us, to no more than giving a proper place and room
to every one. Nothing more conduces to soothe the minds
of the poor, to wean them from discontent, than to let them
perceive that here, at least, they are cared for, and that every
suitable accommodation is afforded them in a place where,
for the time, there is no inequality. It is surpritiro• that,
till within these few years, this momentous point should have
been so much overlooked. An observer, to be convinced of
this great error of the National Establishment, has only to
enter some of the old churches in London, in which he will
see the old body of the church choked up with pews, and the
seats for the poor stuck in nooks and corners, or huddled
together most sparingly and uncomfortably in the main aisle.
The same erroneous arrangement prevails in very many of
the older country churches, and it behoves every minister of
the Establishment to be strenuous in appropriating, in every
place of worship belonging to it, as large a portion as possi-
ble for the accommodation of the humbler classes. T'nere is
no fear that they will not avail themselves of it. It is ob-
servable, that in all the new churches and chapels, where this
object has been kept in view, the seats of the poor are even
crowded at every service, while in the older churches, where
they can scarcely either see or hear from the still incommodi-
ous position of the places set apart for them, they are com-
paratively abandoned. We rejoice to see that this untoward
and injurious error has been fully redeemed by. the commis-
sioners, and that as the poor form the majority in the com-
munity, the largest part of every new church and chapel is
freely devoted to them. Most heartily do we invoke success
upon such a course of acting ; it must and will come to good.
