The facts which this yearly comparison developes suffi-
ciently show, that the mania for overtrading has in a degree
passed, and that, as far as our commerce with distant
countries is concerned, much more caution is displayed by
the mercantile interest. The result is an astounding one,
that a decrease of no less than 146 ships has occurred in the
clearances for the Australian Colonies and New Zealand.
The clearances for Bombay and Calcutta also exhibit a con-
siderable decrease.

A citizen of Schwtyz, in Switzerland, named Charles
Herlobig, died lately at the advanced age of 103 years. He
was a remarkable personage, as being the last descendant of
Margnerite Herlobig, wife of Werner Stauffacher, who. ac-
cording to history, took a great part in the foundation of the

Swiss Confederation.
PASSAGE, JAN. 4.—The Rockshire, Duggan, sailed from
Quebec, on the Ist November, and on the 28th November,
when off St. Peter's, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, a tremen-
dous sea struck her, carried away bowsprit, foremast, main-
mast, &c., and washed overboard five men, three of whom
were rescued, but two young men (Edward Price, London,

cannon steamer went out from this on Monday evening, tool\
her in tow near the Light Ship, and brought her into Water-
ford in a disabled condition ; by this chance the Duncannon

Frost and Co., Quebec, and was bound to Liverpool. She
now lies opposite the Quay of Waterford, deeply laden and
dismasted. We understand she was insured.—Waterford

JAMAICA EXPORTS.—The table of exports affords the
most gratifying evidence of the increasing cultivation of the
colony, the total of sugar exported for the year 1841-2, being
45,613 hogsheads, 6494 tierces, and 2817 barrels, against
30,500 hogsheads, 4436 tierces, and 2296 barrels for the year
preceding. We can observe, also, a slight increase in the
present year's manufacture of rum, as compared with the
quantity of sugar, being to the extent of almost 300 puncheons
upon the whole crop ; but whether this is to be attributed to
the adoption of Mr. O'Keefe's improved system, or to merely
adventitious circumstances, we are not in a position to de-
termine. The coffee crop also exhibits an increase of above
1000 tierces ; and the ginger and pimento crop appear to have
been equally successful : altogether therefore we have reason
to congratulate our country friends upon the so far success-
ful results of their labours.—Jamaica Standard, Nov. 19.
THE CHURCH IN WALES. The state of the Welsh
Church is one of the deepest depression, brought on by the
miserable neglect which it has experienced. Indeed it would
have been well if there had been no other cause than the ne-
gative one of neglect. But there has been a positive cause,
which has been working for upwards of a century. The strong
disinclination shown by the Welsh people to the change of
dynasty at the accession of the present family caused the Go-
vernment to put Englishmen exclusively into her sees. The
consequence has been that the spirit of the clergy has been
broken, and the affections of the people towards the Church,
which were warmer than in any other part of the island, have
been alienated. How, indeed, could the clergy, when they

t against their

Ivan-Cement to the

saw an inseparable bar pu
rule of their native Church, maintain the same high tone as
their English brethern ? They were reduced to a body of
impoverished vicars and starving curates, hewers of wood and
drawers of water to their English masters.—Evan's

MODESTY OF AN AMERICAN EDITOR.—The New York
Herald (edited by James Gordon Bennet,) has the following
" leading article," under date 24th December last :—Debates
in Congress--Derangement of the Mail.—Onr readers were
very much disappointed yesterday, in not receiving- the report
of the debate in the House of Representatives on Wednesday,
in which Mr. Arnold, the fire eater from Tennessee, made a
great speech. This disappointment was caused by the con-
tinual mismanagement of the mails between Washington and
New York. Our reports of the debates in Congress, are so
life-like, so graphic, so admirable, so original and interesting,
that the public feel a most intense disappointment, when
they are deprived of them at their regular morning meal.
These sketches—daguerreotype reports—will have a greater

rative assembly Of the nation, than any of the dull, prosy
ones that ever were attempted. They have already created
a perfect mania in this latitude, and they will continue to do
so, to the end of the session. The disappointment in not re-
ceiving them is, therefore, intense. What can be the matter

THE WORKING CLERGY OF THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH.
—The Church and Slate Gazette, in its last number, sup-
plies a statistical description of this class of the Established
Clergy ; and founds upon it an earnest appeal in their behalf.
The document states that, " Of these curates th..tre are 3,088

who are so to non-resident incumbents; 1,720 who are resi-
dent in glebe-houses ; and 1,722 to resident incumbents. Of
the 3,088 curates who are so to'non-resident incumbents, 295
receive incomes under £5O per annum; 493 under £6O; 231
under £7O; 379 under £80; 395 under £9O; 111 under £100;

four who receive the pew-rents as the whole of their income ;
66 who take the whole income of the living ; 40 who receive
no stipend at all ; and 27 miscellaneous. Next comes the
case of the 1,720 curates, who are so to resident incumbents.

Of these, 128 receive stipends under £5O per annum ; 22

215., and 425. ; 11 who receive the pew-rents ; three who take
the whole income of the living ; 118 who have no stipend ; and
20 miscellaneous." An examination of these statistics will
give a result of from £BO to £lOO a-year as the average salary
of a curate.

LATE ELOPEMENT.—Captain Sher
time since eloped with a young lady of fifteen years of age
from the United States, and which afffir at the time caused
considerable excitement in America, from the circumstances
attending it, and a notice of which appeared in the London
journals, is at present residing at Surinam, where he fills the
office of Judge of her Majesty's Slave Commission Court,
but intend

3 return, as the American papers state, in con-
sequence of the ill-health of his lady, and will then take the
opportunity to endeavour to bring about an amicable recon-
ciliation between himself and Mrs. Shenley's family. The
property to which the young lady is entitled is about two
millions of dollars—near half a million sterling, and consists
of real estate in Pittsburg—no small fortune for this gallant
son of Mars to " storm and capture." It is bequeathed to
her under the will of her grandfather, the late General
O'Hara. The Pennsylvania legislature passed an act setting
aside this legacy, and giving the revenues to the trustee ; but
it may be supposed that such a law is null and void and of
no effect in a court of law and equity. It is most probable,
if the law thus passed be correctly represented, that the lady's
ultimata right to the property is fully conceded, and only
prevents her claiming it until she becomes of age. At the
time of her elopement she resided at Mrs. Inglis's seminary,
at Staten Island. Captain Shenley, immediately after his
nuptials, came to England, and was with his lady presented
to her Majesty on his appointment. He has been twice a
widower, having married first the niece of Lord Fife, and
secondly the second daughter of Sir William Pole, Bart. `

EXTRAORDINARY ANECDOTE OF A DOG.—Many marvels
have been narrated concerning the dog and his attachment to
man, but we know not that we ever heard of anything mote
extraordinary than that which we are about to tell our readers.
At the Red Lion hotel in this town, there is an old, one-
eyed, worn out dog of the terrier breed, named Crib. He
lies about in the yard, or stable. or kitchen, and enjoys his

consonant with his age and infirmities. Possessed of a pro-
