THE WESLEYAN CONFERENCE

The following resolutions appear in the " Minutes of Con-
ference" for the present year :

" LAW OF MARRIAGE

" Q. 28. What is the judgment of the Conference as to
duty of members of our societies in reference to the present
law of marriage?
" A. 1. That, in unison with the general stream of autho-
rities, in both the Jewish and Christian churches, the eccle-
siastical law of this country, ever since the epoch of the
reformation, has affirmed the degrees of consanguinity and
affinity, within the limits of which the Divine Lawgiver has
prohibited marriage, to be such as are expressed or implied
in the 18th chapter of Leviticus ; and that, therefore, such
marriages alone are Godly and agreeable to the laws ' which
are contracted between persons not included in those prohi-
bitions.

" 2. That, from the same auspicious period to the year
1835, the civil or political law of England has adopted the
ecclesiastical view which is before stated concerning marriage,
by regarding all marriages within such prohibited degrees as
voidable by the ecclesiastical courts on proper process, com-
menced during the lives of the contracting parties; and
since the year 1835, by pronouncing all such marriages actu-
ally void, without the interposition of any legal process
whatsoever.

" 3. That, on the great New Testament principle of sub-
mission to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake, the
Conference is solemnly of opinion that the members of our
societies are bound by the law of Christ to conform them-
selves in all arrangements concerning marriage to the insti-
tutions of their country ; and especially because, in the very
form of their enactment, there is a national recognition of
the authority of the Divine will, as made known to mankind
in the Holy Scriptures.
" 4. The Conference, moreover, deemed itself now called
upon to declare, that by no means comely, nor of good re-
port, for members of our societies to repair to certain parts
of the United Kingdom, or to foreign countries, in the hope
of there finding facilities for contracting marriages within
the prohibited degrees, and without any intention of fixing
their permanent residence in those countries."

FRIENDSHIP.—Thou may'st be sure that he that will in
private tell thee thy faults is thy friend, for he adventures thy
dislike, and doth hazard thy hatred ; for there are few men
that can endure it; every man, for the most part, delighting
in self-praise, which is one of the most universal follies that
bewitched] mankind.—Sir Walter Raleigh.
" THE MAN OF THE PEOPLE."—At Manchester, on
Monday last, Feargus O'Connor addressed large groups in a
temperate speech. He was dressed in a fustian jacket and
trousers, in order that he might appear as much as possible
to be a " man of the people."
Our manufacturers of late years have become positively
insatiable; their avarice is unbounded—their powers of pro-
duction have increased two hundred fold—their means of
transit facilitated to an extent that has almost annihilated
time and space ; three-fourths of the property that has
changed hands during the last ten years, has got into their
possession ; where they formerly lived prosperously on one
thousand per annum derived from their business, they now
drain ten; they have west-end houses, and country houses,
and villas at the sea-side, and yet they are still unsatisfied ;
we firmly believe Mammon has so completely blinded them,
that to expect them to pause in their unholy crusade against
every other class, would be to expect a miracle. Trade is
now carried on, not on principles of fair and honourable
a competition,ail but with a view to the destruction or utter ruin

John Lacy, one of the borough police, proved being sent
for, about a quarter before seven o'clock this morning, to the
Boot public-house, in the Abbey parish. On entering the
house, the landlord informed him that a soldier' had commit-
ted murder in his house. On going up stairs to a bedroom,
the prisoner met him at the door, and said, " Lacy, take me;
1 have cut her throat," pointing at the same time to the girl
Pearce, who was lying on a bed in the room the prisoner
came out of. Witness immediately seized him by the two
wrists, and sat him on another bed in the same room. He
trembled very much, and the upper part of his person was
covered with blood. He had no shirt on, only his trousers
and shoes. His face was -so much covered with blood that
he could scarcely distinguish his features. There was no
blood on his trousers. Witness asked the prisoner what le
had done it with ? He replied, with a razor, and that it was
on the bed where the woman was lying. He looked among
the bed clothes for the razor, but could not find it, when Jane
Pearce pulled the bed a little up as well as she could, and
between the bed and the matress he found the razor he pro-
duced. [The witness produced the razor, which was covered
with blood.] He asked the prisoner if he had any reason
for committing the act, but he shook his head, and made
no answer. The prisoner also pointed out to witness his
shirt. On being produced, it was found to be covered with
blood, and very much torn. The quantity of blood on the
left side was the greatest. The prisoner washed himself in
witness's presence, but had no wounds on his own person.
He saw Jane Pearce lying on a bed with her throat very much
cut. There was also a cut on the right arm, another on the
right hand, and several more on her left shoulder, while the
bed and the room bore ample traces of the prisoner's crime.

Several other witnesses spoke to many other necessary
facts, and the prisoner was remanded for further examina-
tion.

THE CASE OF M`LEOD

(FROM THE NEW YORK INTELLIGENCER.)

On Saturday, ex-President Adams delivered a speech upon
the resolution concerning the case of M`Leod, which capti-
vated the attention of the house to a degree that might be
expected from the position of that distinguished member,
and his known familiarity with every thing that concerns the
foreign relations of the United States. Mr. Adams first
spoke of the apparent party aspects and objects of the reso-
lution before the house, and the debate in favour of it, and
of the strong condemnation which that conduct merited
which sought to make profit to a party, regardless of conse-
quences, out of a question which involved, or might be made
to involve, the issue of peace or war with a country perhaps
the most powerful on the globe. He then proceeded to say
he was opposed to multiplying issues with Great Britain.
We had one issue with that country (he was understood to
refer to the boundary question) where we were clearly in the
right, and she was clearly in the wrong ; and if we "must
fight, we had better fight about such a question than about
one where we were in the wrong. For he desired to declare
in the face of the country and the world his opinion, that in
regard to the affair of the " Caroline," a due consideration
of all the circumstances might lead to the conclusion that
we were in the wrong. The question was, and always would
be, who struck the first blow? The British, it is true, burnt
the boat and killed a man. But the question is, what was
the boat about, and what was the man doing in the boat?
The boat was engaged in hostile acts against Great Britain ;
it was employed in transporting men and arms to Navy
Island, in aid of an insurrection against the British authori-
ties in Upper Canada. We might go to war on this matter ;
and, after the blood and treasure of the nation had been
expended in support of it, we should have a peace. And
what then? The question would still be, who struck the first
blow? And were we sure we could find among all the
Christian nations an umpire, who would not say that we had
been all the while in the wrong?

TOMKINS'S LETTER TO JENKINS,
ON THE MANCHESTER CONFERENCE AND THE CORN LAWS

(From Blackwood's Magazine for October.)
Dear Jenkins,—'Tis long since I wrote you a letter,
For which there are reasons—some bad and some better ;
But I feel myself forced to unbosom my cares,
By the present position of public affairs.
The ministry, Jenkins, were not worth a thought,
Bat the measures that lately before us were brought
Demand on some points this familiar address,
Independent of what I may write for the press ;
For a pamphlet would pay, whether lumb'ring or limber,
With the title of " Tomkins on treacle and timber."
The event of the day is our great convocation,
To express the dissenting desires of the nation ;
And ne'er since the ark, if the truth be confess'd,
Entertain'd every species of beast in her breast,
Have there met such distinctions of horn and of hoof,
Such a motley menagerie, under one roof.
We had Presbyter, Papist, Socinian, and Quaker,
Quite unable to join in a prayer to their MAKER,
Yet as Christian divines here assembled together,
To inflame discontent, and to wish for bad weather.
What an atmosphere hover'd all over the place,
Showing equal abundance of grease and of grace !
What an odour of sanctity rose on the breeze,
Intermix'd here and there with that strong smell of cheese,
Which we friends of free trade often strangely exhale,
From our last night's debate over Cheshire and ale!
The whole thing was imposing—at least 11 EAVEN knows
There were plenty among us who tried to impose.
By-the-by our friend Stiggins was found every day
At the Temperance Tavern well moistening his clay ;
And few wonder'd to see how he stagger'd along,
When the flesh was so weak and the spirit so strong.
I had almost omitted the chartist dispute,
Which had very near pluck'd all our plans by the root.
But 'tis now quite arranged for our next celebration,
That we throw the door open and waive revelation ;
So that Socialist, Southcotist, Gipsey, and Jew,
With each sect and division of Turk and Ilindoo,
Indeed all who believe in a god—or a goddess,
Be it mere naked REASON, all neck and no boddice—
Shall be suffer'd to spout, and invited to vote,
Without any distinction of creed or of coat.
It is thought that as yet it would scarcely be civil
To have such as confess to adoring the devil,
Though some hundreds were here, who, without any gammon,
Make scarcely a secret of worshipping Mammon.
The harangues of our speakers were well worth attending,
And the pictures they painted were truly heart-rending.
Stiggins told us of many a family board,
Where of old he was oft entertain'd like a lord,
But, though one of the few whom they still kept a place for,
He now found the dinners not worth saying grace for.
Rich church-going folks might be pleased with their fate,
But dissenters were allin a pitiful state.
It would really have melted the ribs of a rock,
Thus to hear the good shepherd bemoaning his flock ;
Never hinting (to construe his words by the letter)
That he wish'd the sheep fatten'd to fleece them the better.
In the course of discussion one point was made clear :
That if corn became cheaper 'twould not be so dear.
Perhaps nothing else was conclusively proved,
But from that proposition we cannot be moved.
Yet stay ! we demonstrated also, I'm sure,
That in this cursed country some persons are poor ;
And that, if both your cash and your credit are fled,
There are few who will sell you beans, bacon, or bread.
Here perhaps you exclaim, " Why we knew this before,
And your friends have done nothing unless they do more !"
But Jenkins, my jewel, just mark what will follow,
Though here we'll tread soft, for our ground's getting
hollow :

Suppose that A. B. has a shilling a-day,
Which in bread and in beer goes a very short way :
Now, if bread become cheap, then his profit is plain,
Assuming, of course, that his shilling remain •
For no doubt if his shilling to sixpence shouldfall,
Why his gain on the bread might be nothing at all.
But assume, first of all, that these infamous laws,
Of a high price of corn are entirely the cause ;
Then assume, too, our wages and work still the same,
And I'll bet ten to one on our winning the game.
But to this, though quite right, I have one small objection ;
It don't go far enough in the proper direction.
My plan, my dear Jenkins, cuts many Miles deeper :
Pass an act to make EVERY THING just dne.thalf cheaper.
Then you'll see, when the new golden age is begun,
That the poor man at once has his two loaves for one ;
While, instead of the gig that has long been my care,
I shall trundle along in my phaeton and pair,
And, Ten-Tumbler Tom KINS my nickname no more,
I shall shine as the hero that swallows his score.
Here again I assume, amid changes so pleasant,
My commission, and credere, still as at present •
Yet the question comes back, our ideas to jumble,
Will our pay be as high when all other things tumble ?
In our corn-law discussions, a strange sort of puzzle
Has lately been meeting us rightl in the muzzle.
" You may injure the landowner, farmer, and reaper,
" But your bread will be never a:halfpenny cheaper !"
These opponents admit all our rules of free trade,
Nay, they summon Ricardo and Smith to their aid.
" But at present," they say, " with so slight a demand,
" Foreign wheat only grows on the best of the land :
" Take away the high duties, and then in a trice
" Poorer soils come in play, and that raises the price."
I reply—that supposing the prices to rise,
We'll export manufactures to meet our supplies ;
Thus at home and abroad we shall deal the same way,
Giving cotton for corn—with one difference you'll say,
That our farmers must buy from us—foreigners may.
How the balance may stand when we square our accounts,
Of our losses and gains the respective amounts—
If, in search of a market, 'tis prudent to roam
After poor Polish serfs, when we've yeomen at home—
Whether, beating about at Odessa for barter,
We shall ever catch any thing else than a Tartar—
What would happen some day if on every wheat cargo
'I he Czar or the Sultan should lay an embargo—
Are points which at present I leave undiscuss'd,
But which every free trader will take upon trust.
Thus, Jenkins, you see, we 'ye the best of it still,
Let logicians and landholders say what they will.
Then how shall we speak of the government scheme,
This hoax, this imposture, delusion and dream !
Which has done near as much as M'Culloch himself
To assign us a place on obscurity's shelf.
With their eight shilling duty paid year after year,
It is plain that our bread would be shockingly dear.
Then the change was mixed up with a plan of finance,
Where its fraud and its folly were seen at a glance.
But the thing that has fatally clench'd it and closed it,
Is the damaging name of the men that proposed it.
I for one never hoped to come speed in a trip,
Wtth such Jonahs on board fit to sink the best ship.
No description can tell the sad mess that they've made,
in d the business of Rag, Tag, and Co.,
And search of new principals Toinkins must go'.
Such a hatred and rage at the wretches I feel,
,Tleave
r hh
ee rain have ruin'd reform—they have ruin'd free trade—
That to-morroa,
I send my adhesion to Peel ;
Though I grudge that rank tories, and rude country bump-

kins,
Should gain such a supporter as,
Yours,
ISAAC TOAIKINS

Manchester, 10th Sept., 1841

The Leicester Chronicle, in noticing the effects of railway
facilities, states that not only are immense quantities of prime
butcher's Meat regularly sent to Londou on Saturdays, from
that town, but potatoes, apples, pears, plums, &c., are now
also sent weekly from Leicestershire to Hull, Sheffield, and
other large towns, in great abundance, to supply the wants
~f the market gardeners of those places. "We last week
heard (says our contemporary) of one gardener only who had
a contract to supply upwards of two thousand strikes of
apples, plums, &c."

" In conformity with the advice of her parliament, and in
pursuance of the declared intentions of Her Majesty, Her
Majesty has taken the requisite measures for the formation
of a new administration, and the arrangements for that pur-
pose have been completed by Her Majesty.
" Gentlemen of the House of Common:,

" We have it in command from Her Majesty to thank you
for the supplies which you have granted to Her Majesty for
those branches of the public service for which complete pro-
vision had not been made by the late parliument.
" The measures which it will be expedient to adopt for the
purpose of equalising the public income and the annual
expenditure, and other important objects connected with the
trade and commerce of the country, will necessarily occupy
your attention at an early period after the recess.

" Her Majesty has commanded us to repeat the expression
of her deep concern at the distress which has prevailed for a
considerable period in some of the principal manufacturing
districts, and to assure you that you may rely upon the cor-
dial concurrence of Her Majesty in all such measures as shall
appear, after mature consideration, best calculated to prevent
the recurrence of that distress, and to promote the great ob-
ject of all Her Majesty's wishes—the happiness and content-
ment of all her people."

MISCELLANEOUS

NEW METROPOLITAN CHURCHES.—II is stated that in
the course of the present month four new churches. afford-
ing sittings for 6000 persons, wilt be opened for divine ser-
vice in different parts of the metropolis.
We are happy to find that a railway is projected in Aber-
deenshire, which, if carried into effect, will form the com-
mencement (in connexion with existing lines) of a grand
northern line, connecting the five largest towns in Scotland,
namely Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee, and Perth,
and an immense number of places of less importance. We
trust the scheme will be warmly taken up by the capitalists
of the district.

A very melancholy catastrophe took place on Tuesday
last, at Long Newton, a village between Darlington and
Stockton-on-Trees. A three-year-old bull, which had lately
become unruly, was, in consequence, placed in a stable, and
there chained to the manger, with his horns also fastened
thereto with a rope, by th son-in-law of Mr. W. Stone-
house, of the above place, farmer and owner of the bull. The
latter person, on going into the stable, and observing the bull
tied by the horns, set to work to unloose the rope, not per-
ceiving that the animal had got rid of the chain, by having
torn it from his nostrils. The bull, on the rope being
loosened, .finding himself at liberty, and being much infu-
riated, immediately attacked his defenceless owner, and
throwing him down, gored him in several places in .the most
frightful manner. The son-in-law, hearing the eries of his
father, directly flew to his assistance, and succeeded in the
most miraculous manner in securing the animal, but too late
to save his parent's life, as the poor old man, from the inju-
ries be had received, expired shortly after the unfortunate
event took place. Mr. Stonehonse was a respectable farmer,
about 70 years of age.—York Herald.

CURIOUS CASE.--SEIZURE OF AN ILLICIT STILL. NEAR
HAWKSHEAD.—On Tuesday last, the exciseman, having re -
ceived information of a still being at work, proceeded with
the Hawkshead police to a lonely Cottage at Tilberthwaite,
five miles from Hawkshead, the residence of Lancelot Slee ;
and, after a careful examination, they discovered the place of
the works in a vault excavated under the stable, the entrance
to which was by a trap-door at the head of the stall, under
the horse's fore feet. The stall was kept well filled with
straw ; and, if Lanty had occasion to go in or come out, he
had nothing to do but to call the horse by name, and repeat
the necessary word, and the docile animal would instantly
stand off, or rise up, for the free ingress or egress of his mas-
ter. The flue of the boiler was ingeniously carried under
ground into the chimney of the cottage. The exciseman
was much surprised to And such a room under the stable,
and every thing so corlete for carrying on business.-
-Kendal Mercury.
DISASTROUS OCCURRENCE—Loss OF LIFE.—The trow
Sisters, employed in carrying timber from Bristol to Bridge-
water for the Exeter Railway, and belonging to Mr. Paul
Legge, of this city, was foundered in a squall, and the wife
of the captain, (Joshua Goulding,) two children, and a pas-
senger, were drowned. The captain, addressing the owner,
from Bristol, on Thursday, says—" We had a very bad mis-
fortune. We lost the trow, my wife and two children, and
one man a passenger. We came out with a fair wind, but
when we came to the Holmes a squall came off the land and
threw her down in an instant. My wife was standing in the
hatchway, and I told her the trow was going down, but she
did not come up. I thought she went to get the two chil-
dren out of the bed, and before she could get back the hatch-
way was under water, and she could not get out. There
were nine on board, and five were saved. We were all in
the water. Three of us clung to the boat's side for five mi-
nutes till we could get on board, and then we were driven
across the channel to Newport River, where a tremendous
sea was running. We did not know how soon a wave might
swallow us up. Our sufferings were very great." The trow
at the time of the disaster was on her fifth voyage.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF DEPRAVITY.—A letter from
Naples gives the following account of an extraordinary case
lately brought before the criminal tribunals of Sorrento and
Otranto. In the former of these towns lived a family, con-
sisting of a man named Hieronimo Pascolo, his son, Gas-
perino, aged 31, and Nunziata, the wife of the latter, a wo-
man of 19, of such rare beauty that several painters of
Rome had visited Sorrento, for the purpose of painting
her portrait, and introducing it into altar pieces for the
churches. These three persons were living in great harmony
until a friend of the husband insinuated that Nunziata was
faithless. Gasperino, resolved upon ascertaining the truth
or falsehood of this charge, the denunciator having been un-
able or unwilling to point out the party for whom the wife
had sacrificed her honour, pretended that he was going on a
journey for several days, and secreting himself when his
wife imagined that he was absent, entered her bed-chamber
at night. Here he saw Nunziata in a sleep, which appeared
to him to be that of innocence, and he was about to retire,
all doubt and jealousy removed, when she suddenly awoke
and left her bed. The husband placed himself in such a
situation as not to be seen by his wife, and watched her move-
ments. She left the room, followed by Gasperino, grasping
his dagger, and entered the bed-room of her father-in-law.
Gasperino; convinced by what he had witnessed, that his own
father was the criminal who had poisoned his domestic peace,
rushed upon the guilty pair and stabbed them both. The
father died immediately, and Nunziata gave no sign of life.
Gasperino then went and delivered himself up to the officers
of justice, avowing what he had done. He was tried by the
criminal tribunal of Sorrento, and condemned to death on the
ground that he had acted with premeditation, although the
wife, who had recovered from her wounds, admitted her
criminality, and declared that she had merely married the son
in order that she might have more frequent opportunities of
intercourse with the father, with whom she was in love. On
an appeal to the Supreme Court of Naples, the sentence of
the Criminal Tribunal of Sorrento was confirmed, but the law
officers of the crown took some legal objections, and de-
manded that both decisions might be reversed, and a new trial
granted. This was done, and Gasperino being brought be-
fore the tribunal of Otranto, was acquitted. .

COMMITTAL OF THREE NOTORIOUS BURGLARS.—On
Monday last, after a previous remand, Robert James, and
John Hoole were brought up before John Lister, Esq., on
several charges of felony. The charges against the prisoners
were numerous, and afforded a proof that their depredations
have been exceedingly extensive. The principal cases entered
into were the following :—Mr. William Thornly, of Close
Farm, Pleasington, deposed to two ducks and two drakes
having been stolen from his premises, which were found in
the possession of Robert and James Hoole. Wm. Jackson,
of Houghton Lane, Walton-le-Dale, swore that two saws,
which had been stolen from him, were found in the possession
of John Hook. Wm. Haworth deposed to having lost one
ghnblet and one whetstone, which were also found in the
possession of John Hoole. James Singleton deposed to
having lost one brace-bit, one axe-shaft, one saw, and one
square, which were found in the possession of Robert Hoole.
Roger Hargreaves, of Houghton, deposed to having lost one
sack and a screw key, which were found in the possession of
Robert Hoole. Richard Pye, of Further Gate, Blackburn,
deposed to having lost a brace, which was also found in the
possession of Robert Hoole. Mrs. Bennett, of Walton-le-
Dale, innkeeper, deposed to having lost, among other articles,
one decanter, which was found in the possession of James
and Robert Hoole. The last-mentioned witness had her
house, the Oak Inn, in Houghton Lane, broken into between
one and two o'clock on Monday morning, in April last. The
thieves had got in by pulling down a window which had no
fastening. They had tried to get through the cellar, where
there had been formerly a trap door, but which had been
built up at the out side, the door still remaining in the inside
and fastened. A crowbar was found by the window. The
thieves had only succeeded in obtaining possession of two
decanters, one nearly filled with brandy, and the other half
filled with rum. The prisoners were apprehended by police-
constable Thomas Carr, as we stated last week. He was
bringing a prisoner from Hon.:llton to Blackburn, about
seven o clock in the evening of the 27th ult., when be came
up to James Hoole, who had a bundle under his arm. Know-
ing that he was a bad character, he insisted upon examining
the bundle, when he discovered the stolen ducks. He then
pursued Robert Hoole, who was in company with James,
and this led to the further discovery of the stolen articles
above enumerated. All the prisoners were fully committed.

THE PEOPLE OF DiErpr..---There is not a single family
in the town that admits visitors, or throws open its drawing-
room. Each lives in his house as though the deserts of Africa
commenced at his door. Here are no literary associations,
no clubs, no frequented coffee-houses, no reading-rooms, no-
thing, in short, that gives sociability to society, and that ac-
customs men to toleration. In other places too I have found
parties ; but these met occasionally, and conversed together,
and treated each other with civility at least, if not cordiality :
they were foes who shook hands at the advanced posts, and
chatted together familiarly till the trumpet summoned them
to the fight. Not so in Dieppe. Thep eople of tat town
are very honest, clever, industrious, nay, even temperate and
moral people ; but in a social point of view, they are real bad-
gers, who live in winter upon their fat. without ever quitting
their holes.—Excursions in Normandy.
•

THE LOTUS Butn.—The white tents thrown out in strong
relief on the dark foliage of the forest,. were pitched on a
piece of open green sward, gently sloping towards a small
but clear and deep sheet of water, in whose placid bosom was
reflected the tranquil scene around, but broken here and
there by a partial carpeting of the broad-leafed lotus, along
whose wavy surface skimmed with fairy flight the beautiful
bird which hears its name. So graceful is the flower of this
plant, that the Hindoos make it give birth to Camdes, the
god of love. But let us return to the bird in shape it is
a pheasant in miniature, but, if possible, with much more
splendid plumage, which changes to every tint of the rain-
bow as it lightly runs along the surface of the broad lotus
leaf, and the bright feathers catch the reflected rays of the
sun. It is enabled to support its light weight on this frail
tenure by the rapidity of its motions and peculiar shape of
the feet, which, although not webbed, have toes of such un-
usual length, that they cover a very large space; 'and, like a
skilful skater, it glides with ease over a surface
.apparently
inadequate to its support.—Seeressand Sporis is 'Foreign
Lands, by Major Napier.
