addition to laws regulating fiscal and commercial matters,
to give grants for the building of additional churches and
schools, and thus to provide bread for the soul as well as
bread for the body. It was equally incumbent upon our
rulers to discountenance the teachers of error. Truth was
a correct representation of facts, and the truth of God
was to be found alone in the bible. In that sacred book,
things were stated as they were ; those things pointed out
which were required to be done by us, and what would
take place if they did not abide by them, when they were
called to their final account. It taught us that bread and
wine should be partaken of at the sacrament of the Lord's
supper. The Romish people though they gave the bread,
withheld the cup, and therefore did they teach falsehood.
Our Saviour said to the Jews, " Search the scriptures for
in them there is salvation "; but the Romans withheld the
scriptures, deeming them as a noxious pasture,—nay,
they had even been known to burn them. (Hear.) [An
instance of this, and of the prosecution of some parties
who taught the scriptures in Spain in 1814, was here re-
lated.] The popish priests called upon their deluded
flocks to say prayers in a language which they did not
understand. They therefore taught falsehoods, and ought
to be discountenanced. He could not but suppose that
our government wished that the children in our schools
and our people should be taught to worship the true God,
and not the idol that ought to be "cast to the moles and
the bats." Mr. Radcliffe had alluded in happy terms to
the Romish ship, and her un-seaworthiness. And this
reminded him that it would be well if a fleet of steam-
vessels were procured, and fitted with such men as he saw
around him, to proceedto Italy and make an aggressive
attack upon popery at its seat, calling for the countenance
and protection of the British government, so that the
time might soon come when the chair of St. Peter should
be vacant. (Much cheering and laughter.) And then, on
the first vacancy in that chair, he should wish to put their
chairman into it. (Cheers and laughter.) England would
then have nothing to fear from Rome: for he (the chair-
man) would elevate this country to the exalted station
which she ought to occupy. We had as yet only gone
half way up the hill of Zion. We must go to the top,
and there rear our national English temple, and
fortress of Protestantism so firmly and formidably that
there should be no papist outside or inside of the walls to
assail them. (Cheers.)
Mr. H ARBORD seconded the motion, and it was carried.

the Marine Surveyor's Committer..
A letter from John Farrar was referred to the Sub-
Committee of Works.

Mr. NicoL proposed that Messrs. Shand, Middleton,
and Nicol should form a sub-committee, to carry out a
resolution of the committee authorising negociations for
the purchase of the land required for the new docks.
Mr. AIXIN proposed, as an amendment, that all mat-
ters connected with the proposed new work be referred to
the special sub-committee. The committee went to the
vote, and nine voted in favour of the amendment ; only
six voted for the motion.

The committee then adjourned, after being in delibera-
tion for two hours and a quarter.

Mr. Thomas Lockwood, of London-road, was, on Fri-
day, unanimously elected honorary surgeon to the Eastern

RODNEY-STREET WARD.—On Monday evening last, a
great number of the conservatives of this ward dined to-
gether at the Adelphi Hotel, to celebrate the return of
Mr. Birkett. Amongst those present were Mr. Paynp,
(chairman,) Mr. R. Dawson, (vice-chairman,) Mr. H.
Lawrence, Mr. John N. Wood, Mr. Edward G. Deane,
Mr. Ellison, Mr. Samuel Holme, Mr. Hesketh, Mr.
Syers, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Rigby, Mr. Groom, Mr. Cul-
shaw, Mr. Bentley, Mr. Ford, and other influential gen-
tlemen. Mr. Alderman Crooke and Mr. James Aspinall,
were absent through indisposition, and letters ware read
from both those gentlemen regretting their inability to be
present. Some admirable speeches were made during the
evening, and strong allusions were also made to the
atrocious attacks which have characterised the opposition
to Mr. Birkett, and which, emanating as they did from
the radical committee, had quite a contrary effect to that
intended ; as it rendered neuter several parties who had
purposed voting for Mr. Lassell, and brought to Mr. Bir-
kett's aid several who had previously intended to take no
part in the election. One of the speakers alluded to se-
veral of the abominable and disgraceful attacks which had
even invaded the sanctuary of domestic life; and the most
determined resolution was exhibited to prevent radicalism
from ever again obtaining a footing in the ward. Mr.
Birkett, Mr. Henry Lawrence, Mr. Wood, Mr. Holme,
and other speakers, were loudly applauded throughout;
and such is the efficiency of the committee, and such the
local influence of the conservatives of Rodney-street Ward,
that the radicals may save themselves the trouble of con-
testing the ward against the present members; and Mr.
Evans (whose good feeling towards Mr. Birkett is gene-
rally admitted) will have the gratification of seeing Mr.
Birkett the representative of the ward as long, at least, as
he remains an alderman.

The CHAIRMAN combatted in a facetious manner Mr.
James's suggestion for an aggressive movement upon
Italy, which would be contrary to the laws of that coun-
try, and subject those who engaged in it to a voluntary
martyrdom. He rather advocated meetings such as the
present, and arguments in place of force. He then ad-
verted to the meeting of the Anti-corn-law League, (to
take place the next day,) and showed in a clear manner that
the plausible pretext of free trade, and cheap bread, was
merely put forth by these parties for their own aggrandise-
ment, and with a view to multiply their mills, and reduce
the wages of their servants. Though wages might in some
instances advance, though the price of food was declining,
this was a temporary operation of circumstances; and
they might depend upon it, that, as a general rule, the
contrary would bold ; and that wages would fall with a fall
in the price of food. He gave several illustrations of this
position, and concluded by advising those present not to
swell the number of the meeting at the Amphitheatre by
attending.
The doxology was then sung, and the meeting, which
was most enthusiastic throughout, separated in a quiet
and orderly manner.

CHARGE AGAINST A CAPTAIN.--OnFriday John Cal-
row, the captain of the brig Mediterranean, was brought
up on a charge of having, on the 6th of December last,
compelled one of his hands, John Hill, to go on shore at
a place called Chilongo, on the southern coast of Africa,
under such circumstances as caused his death, in a few
days after, on board her Majesty's ship Rapid. It ap-
peared, from the evidence of the chief mate and one of the
sailors, that the prisoner was a man of ungovernable tem-
per when under the influence of ardent spirits, and that,
during the voyage, he ordered the mate and most of the
crew to be flogged, and caused several entries to be made
in the log-book to the effect that there was a mutiny on
board. Hill was flogged on two occasions in the course of
a fortnight. The second time he received sixty lashes
from a birch rod on his bare back, which caused blood to
flow profusely, and immediately after two Kroo boys were
ordered by the prisoner to take him on shore in a canoe.
They put off, but the surf was running so high upon the
beach that they found it impossible to effect a landing,
and, in consequence, they returned to thesbip and informed
the prisoner of what they bad been obliged to do. The
prisoner commanded the Kroo boys to put off again,, and,
if they found themselves unable to land Hill, to heave him
overboard ; and he alsosaid, that he would give them a
watchword in order that they might know when to heave
the unfortunate man out. The canoe having accordingly
put off a second time, the captain sat upon the gangway
and sung out five or six times, " bapry hammer," the
watchword which he had just before told the Kroo boys he
should give. The native Africans, however, instead of at-
tending to the watchword and heaving the man over, kept
on their course and succeeded in putting him on shore.
Hill then made his way along the sea shore to Loango,
about twenty-five miles distant, where he received some
kind treatment from the persons in charge of an English,
and also of an American factory, but where he fell ill of
fever, caused, it is supposed, by the burning heat of the
climate and the fatigue and exhaustion he had undergone,
and, being carried on board the Rapid, he died in a few
days after. It was endeavoured to be Shown by the agent
for the defence, that there were several entries in the log
book tending to establish the fact that the crew were most
riotous and disorderly, that Hill had been treated, kindly
on shore by one of the servants of the prisoner, who was
at the English factory carrying on a traffic with the na-
tives, and that after having been landed he was in good
health ; but the mate and others who subscribed the en-
tries distinctly stated, that those entries had been dictated
to them by the prisoner, and that they, had subscribed
them under terror of their lives, the prisoner having, all
along the voyager manifested a most despotic disposition.
Mr. Rushton ordered him to be remanded until the next
day, and said that he should then commit him for trial a
the approaching assizes, under the sth and 6th of William,
cap. 19, sec. 40, for having forced on shore and wrong-
fully left behind at sea, at a place out of her Majesty's do-
minions, one of his own crew. The offence was a misde-
meanour by the statute, and the prisoner might be libe-
rated on finding bail, himself in £2OO and two sureties in
£lOO each. About half-past two o'clock on Saturday the
prisoner was again put to the bar, when Mr. Ellis, the
clerk, read over the informations of the several witnesses,
and bound over the latter in their own recognizances of
£lOO each to appear and give evidence at the assizes. The
prisoner declined to say anything in his defence. 1
following persons offered themselve

The inhabitants of Tranmere have given notice of an
application to parliament for an act to appoint com-
missioners, and for taking the trusts and arrangement of
the highways and turnpike roads into the hands of sur-
veyors, and for removing the present toll-bars, or to more
convenient places in the township.
CORONER'S INQuEsTs.—No fewer than six inquests
were held before the borough Coroner, on Saturday, The
first was on the body of Ann Eaton, which was found
floating in the water near the Sandhias-bridge. The de-
ceased, who was about eighty years of age, and occupied
a cellar in St. Martin's-street, proceeded, about a fort.
night since, at a late hour in the evening, to the canal,
for the purpose of gathering a few pieces of coal, and it is
supposed that she accidentally slipped into the water.
The second was on the body of Mary Murray, a child
thirteen days old. It appeared, from the evidence of the
mother of the deceased, Elizabeth Murray, of Frederick-
street, that, as she was on her way home, last Wednesday
night fortnight, she was seized with the pains of labour in
the street. She made for the house of a Mr. Baker, but,
before she had time to reach there, she was delivered of
the deceased, who fell upon her head on the pavement,
and then tumbled down two steps of a cellar. The witness
was then taken into a cellar, where she was delivered of a
second child. The deceased was severely hurt on her head
and back by the fall, and died on Tuesday last. The third
inquest was held on Ann Dunbar, a female 70 years of
age, and the wife of Henry Dunbar, a shoemaker, re-
siding in Sparling-street. It appeared that the deceased
was, on Friday night, left by herself sitting at the kitchen
fire, and that when her husband returned in the course of
an hour afterwards he found the place full of smoke, the
deceased lying on the floor with her head under the bed,
and the bed-clothes on fire. She died almost immediately
after. The fourth was held on John James, who died in
the hospital of the Borough Gaol, from lockjaw. The
fifth was on Thomas Tootle, of Leeds, who was found
lying in a beastly state of intoxication on the parapet in
Cheapside, and booked drunk and for safety, at t'ridewell,
where he was placed before a fire and covered with rugs.
He continued, however, to get seriously ill, and died about
eleven o'clock, on Saturday, from excessive drinking.
The sixth and last inquest was on the body of Ellen
Dempsey, a female sixty-two years of age, who occupied
the house 42, Pellew-street. It appeared that she took
her supper on Thursday night, apparently in excellent
health ; and that shortly after she complained of her head
and the failure of her sight, then she became insensible,

stt.ted the cause of death to have been effusion of blood
on the right hemisphere of the brain, the result of natural
causes. Verdicts in accordance with the evidence were
returned in the several cases.

FREEMASONRY.—The election of Grand Master will
be made at the next Grand Lodge by the masonic body.
On Wednesday last the Grand Lodge met in solemn
conclave at Freemasons' Hall, wben the Earl of Zetland
was. proposed Grand Master by Brother Peter Thomson
(who holds what is termed a " Lodge of Instruction"
somewhere in the city,) knd the Marquis qf Salisbary,
K.G., by Brother Captain Mathew, M.P., junior Grand
Warden of England. The John Bull supports strongly
the claims of the Marquis of Salisbury, and expresses a
fear that " a most improper political feeling animates those
who are desirous of conferring the office on the Earl of
Zetland, and that the election of the, noble earl will be
the knell of the craft in these realms, for it will evince
the fact, that to one party alone in politics is the succes-
sion of Grand Master to descend."

DEATH, FROM A PUGILISTIC CONFLICT.—An inquest

tor vv est nent, on the body of a young man named James
Gray, whose death had been the result of a prize fight
with a fellow workman. It appeared that the deceased
and his opponent had quarrelled and fought in the tap-
room of a public-house, but were not permitted to decide
the fight. Subsequently, deceased had frequently pressed
his opponent to fight again; and ultimately, a meeting
was fixed for two pounds aside, which took place in
Romney Manse, the result of which wns the death of the
deceased, as was supposed from a fall backwards in the
course of the contest. The coroner adjourned the in-
quest, for the purpose of procuring the attendance of the

J-UST DISCRIMINATION.-At one of the late grand re-
views in eastern Prussia, says a Getman paper, a brigade
of artillery was ordered to pass at full gallop over a piece
of uneven ground intersected by a ditch full of water.
One of the guns, from the horses not making a sufficient

rength, jumped down into the water, am

his shoulder to one of the wheels, lifted it out of the mud,
and resuming his seat, the gun crossed the ditch. Prince
Augustus of Prussia, who came up at the moment, cried,
" Bravo,-my lad !" and, tearing off a strip from his sash,
gave it to the artilleryman, telling him to fasten it to his
sword-belt in remembrance. in the evening the soldier,
when in his barracks, was surprised by receiving a gratuity
of 150 gold crowns. A short time afterwards another ar-
tilleryman, having heard this anecdote, wished, in his
turn, to display his strength. Prince Augustus, when one
day at the arsenal of Berlin, ordered a 24-pounder to be
mounted on its carriage. The man in question immedi-
ately raised the piece from the ground, and, unassisted,
put it on the carriage. The Prince, however, said, " This
man is a fool; he has risked his limbs and wasted hjs
strength without any necessity. Let him be under arrest
for three days."—Galignani's Messenger.

EMIGRATION TO THE WEST INDIES,

(From the Herald.)

conducted in the belief that the vessel despatched thither
would find hundreds of negroes, with their bundles packed,
waiting on the shore eager to step into the ship on its
arrival ; and because they were riot so found, :it was
not allowed to be repeated. But two of the Aterra
Leone requirements would alone account for the small
number of lAbourers procured therein, had the govern-
ment emigration agent been properly supported—they are,
the proportion of females and the length of residence in
the colony required. Equality of sexes is most desirable ;
but render male emigrants comfortable and prosperous in
the West Indies, and their wives and daughters will soon
follow their fortunes thither, and the women will become
as anxious to emigrate as the men and thereafter accom-
pany them at once. Freedom of emigration is indispensa-
ble ; but such freedom cannot require a six weeks' resi-
dence by an intending emigrant in Sierra Leone, where he
cannot find work a

must starve as a condition precedent
to seeking happiness and employment in the West IndieF.
Such a requirement at Sierra Leone is not merely posi-
tively cruel when complied with ; but it practically
amounts to an absolute prevention of the emigration of
all but the liberated Africans, and it hinders that settle-
ment from becoming the medium of intercourse and
civilisation between the West Indies and the interior of
Western Africa.

All these impoTtant points have, however, been under
the consideration, of Lord Stanley ; and it is not without
. • • • • .

reason that we indulge in the hope that his lordship will
follow out the success of his policy in the Mauritius, by
promoting the greatest possible circulation of free labour
in the tropical colonies, and save the West Indies. extir-

pate the slave trade, discourage slavery, improve Africa,
augment our-colonial markets, and, though last not least,
honestly increase the revenue.

THE GENTEEL BEGGING IMPOSTORS.—The dashing
impostors, John Neil, Caroline -Stephens
,(his wife),
Andrew Oraig, and Betsy Craig, were brought befOre /Ur.
Rushton, for final examination, yesterday. From the
had

formed part of an extensive and regularly orgAised gang
of impostors and saindlers, under a head or leader, lo-
cated in Dublin, who commissioned them, with instruc-
tions and fnrged documents, to go through the principal
towns in Ireland, England, &c. About a hundred forged
documents had been found. The Secretary of the Mayor
of Cork appeared as a witness, and proved that.the letter
purporting to be signed by him (as before noticed) was not
his writing. Mr. Rushton committed the two females for
trial, and remanded the two men,- saying that he would
this day decide upon the manner in which he should dis-
pose of their case.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE.--CLAIMING PROPERTY
WORTH FOUR MILLIONS.—A singular case ,came before
the Insolvent Court, London, on Saturday last. A boot
and shoe maker, named Wm. Mobbs, presented to
swear to his schedule, in which, amongst assets,
was a claim upon some property in the neighbourhood of
London, belonging to'Charles Strutt, Esq., M.P. It ap-
peared during the examination that the insolvent had
already been defeated in two actions for the recovery of
his imaginary estate; and yet, although strongly advised
of the inutility of his further claims, he obstinately per-

3g to have his schedule altered, andit-was
with much difficulty that he was ultimately persuaded to
swear to it and receive his discharge.

SISTERS OF MERCY.—" I am convinced that nothing
is so likely to destroy This country as inducing the different
classes to regard each other as castes. There must be a
way of intermingling the higher with the poorer classes.
The intercourse of ladies, of all things the most amelio-
rating, is invaluable. I have a number of female district
visitors thus employed. The Roman Catholics have re-
cently established a convent of Sisters of Charity close to
my parish, whose labours, in the way of conversion, I
seriously dread. They will effect more in one.year than
all the priests in Great Britain in seven. I name this as
a proof of the effect of sympathy with the poorer classes."
Convents 'have not,o►ily been established at Dublin, York,
Liverpool, Birmingham, and Newcastle, but in the very
capital itself. viz., at Bermondsey, and at Lambeth.--
Rev. .1. Garbett.

THE STATE BED AND BED-ROOM AT BELVOIR
CASTLE.—The magnificent state bed made expressly for
her Majesty's use during the Queen's visit at Belvoir,
was unique for its gorgeous embellishments, and the
splendour and taste evinced in its structure and hangings.
'stead was of the period of Queen Anne,
, acing surmounted by the regal crown of bur-
... Jed gold, resting on a cushion elaborately carved. The
hangings and draperies were composed of the richest silk
damask, colour Eau de Nile. trimmed with exquisitely
finished fringe in accordance with the draperies. The
colour of the interior was quite in harmony; and the
canopy terminated at the centre with the heraldic roses of
the houses of York and Lancaster. The walls of the bed-
room were covered with a most costly pearl-coloured silk
fabric, finished by a handsome gold moulding; and the
window hangings, and covers for ottomans, chairs, &c.,
were of a splendid white figured satin of British menu-
*are, and the carpeting was the finest our domestic
auld supply, and so designed as to blend harmo-
*t,e ornaments of the apartment.
MATRIMONIAL STATISTICS..--On the motion of Sir
R. H. Inglis, a return was ordered by the House of Com-
mons,-in May last, of the number of places of religious
worship in England registered for marriages under the
act of the 6th and 7th of William IV, c. 85, to the 30th
of June, 1842 ; also the number of marriages celebrated
yearly in England from the Ist of July, 1838, to the 30th
of June, 1841, distinguishing those by the Established
Church and otherwise. It appears, that to the date o
the return, 1,922 places were registered for marriage'
under the act. Under the second department it is stated,
that in the year ending the 30th of June, 1839, 114,632
marriages were celebrated according to the rites of the
Established Church, and 6,451 not according to the rites
of the Established Church, making the total marriages in
one year 121,0.83; of these parties, 97,546 only signed

The advocacy which free emigration into the tropical
colonies has always found from the present Ministers, the
success of Lord Stanley's bold policy in the Mauritius,
and the comparative failure of his more cautious policy in
the West Indies--all beget a hope that Government is
about to take some decided steps to open to the latter colo-
nies the most ample facilities for procuring labour, and
consequently capital. Already indeed has the Colonial
Secretary given encouragement to emigration from our
ultra-Gangetic settlements, and, through them, from
China to the West Indies ; but such encouragement is far
more valuable because ofthe authoritative sanction involved
therein to the views we are now promoting,than from any
great supplies of labour likely to be had in consequence
thereof from these distant parts of the world. Lord
Stanley is bound in consistency with his own adopted
principles, and with the views taken by the Cabinet on the
sugar duties, and in fairness to the West Indies, to extend
to them the advantages which have proved so beneficial to
the Mauritius. If Cooly emigration to that island be so
profitable both to it and to the immigrants, why, under
proper regulations, should not Cooly emigration to the
West Indies be equally profitable? The greater distance
of the latter colonies from India—the Malacca Straits
settlements, now opened to the West Indies, are still
-more distant—will always prove an obstacle to such emi-
gration to them ; but the existence of that physical obsta-
cle is the best o all reasons why factitious impediments
should be removed. Ensure at first the pet fect freedom
of the emigration from India—the comfort and the safety
of the passage to the West Indies—and the protection of
the immigrants when there, and the advantages of their
new homes will, in due course, conquer Cooly dislike to
long sea voyages, reduce the inequality- of the sexes, and
connect the East with the West Indies by identity of in-
terests and frequency of intercourse.
It is from Western Africa the West Indies may be
most easily supplied with labour; the shortness of the
voyage, the smallness of its cost, the general identity of
race between African immigrants and the black popula-
tion, and the moral advantages to be remitted back to
Africa, are all strong arguments in favour of relying on
Africa for West Indian labour. Hitherto such immigra-
tion has only been permitted from-Sierra Leone, and has
even there beers clogged with requirements which are even
more obstructive to its success than the indifference of
the local authorities and the interference of ignorant and
prejudiced missionaries. An effc
