CANADA PAPERS

( From the Montreal Herald, August 26.).
\%e have gleaned from the American papers a few more die,
plays of unerring "judgment" and omnipotent " will," which,
though not very important, serve to show that the spirit of free.
dom is still alive and kicking in the best of all possible repub.

lies.
1. One Thompson. an abolitionist, was attacked by a sove-
reign mob at Lynn, Massachusetts. He was extricated by the
sheriff "from his perilous position, and smuggled out of the
church in a whole skin." lhe sheriff widget into disgrace at
the seat of the imperial government.
2. A riot at Newburgh—no cause assigned, always excepting,
of Course, the sacred right of insurrection.
3. In Hartford county. Maryland, "the court-house.wasburnt
last night," Why, or wherefore a court-house is burnt, nobody
has any. right to inquire.• The sovereign people may do as it
likes with its own.
These are all the displays of " judgment and will" that have
taken place • but several others are promised.
1. The editor of the New York Evening Star says, that if
Thompson, the abolitionist, visits New York, be will be "se-
verely handled."
2. A daily paper of New York offers the following amiable
suggestion :
"As soon as the weather grows colder, so as to make such an
operation pleasant, we mutt some respecter of morals will call
a meeting to take into consideration the propriety of tarring and
feathering the Rev. J. R. McDowell."
9. The, following scrap promises a great treat at Christmas
next:—
" A writer in the Mississippian says, that the names of near
four Imndred and fifty persons have been given, who are en-
gaged in travelling through all the slave holding states, for the
purpose ofincitiug a general insurrection, to take place on the
25th of December, 1835."
One cannot bat be delighted to find that the displays of
" judgment and will" meet pretty general approbation.
The following remark of the Journal of Commerce clearly
shows, that the gene al government, of which the Globe is the
organ, highly approvds the recent horrors :
" The spirit of riot has since invaded Washington, and we
find the Globe cracking jokes on the occasion, and ridiculiug the
efforts of the civil and military authorities for the preservation
of the peace."
The Norfolk Beacon, speaking of Robinson, the Englishman,
who was " hanged on the spr?t," says, that if the man were
guilty, it was but sheer justice" to hang him.
Even the respectable citizens of Baltimore, sacrificing—ibeir
private interests to the public good, looked on the displays of
popular sovereignty with a favourable eye. _
A correspondent of the United States Gazette says, iiths of the
Baltimoreans looked on the late riots with perfect indifference !

DANGEROUS SITUATION OF THE PRINCE
LLEWELWYN STEAMER.

(Front the Bolton Chronicle.)
On the 10th instant this vessel left George's Pier Head,
verpool, for Beaumaris and Bangor, having on board 58 passen-
gers, the wind blowing a fresh gale at the time. When we
passed the Rock Light House, the waves appeared to dash two
thirds of its height. A passenger, seeing this, said " I never
saw the sea before." The captain said, " Well, my man, but
you will see something of it to-day." This roused the fears of i
many, nor were those fears ll'grounded—the wind increased,
and all were ordered below, and the captain with difficulty con-
tinued his•course, until we got to Abergele Bay, where it blew a
complete hurricane. The passengers solicited him to turn back ;
he told us he could not get back for the sand-banks. " ).now
see," he added, "if we proceed, we shall share the fate of the
Rothsav Castle, nor is there any hope for us, unless we can get
to the Point of Air, and go down the Dee." lie immediately
turned the vessel about, and directed in course for the Dee. We
soon passed in sight of the Point of Air, and after having
rounded that point, we proCeeded for about four miles, when
the vessel ran on a sand-bank, this was at four o'clock in the
afternoon. The captain hoisted a signal of distress, but having no
powderr-he could not fire a gun. .Under these circumstance',
we remained until about eight o'clock, the wind blowing a hur-
ricane all the time. In the course of these four hours, one of
the steam pipes broke below, and the planks on deck began to
leave each other, and to lift up. They separated almost across
the deck for an inch and a half. Now the boats were both pre-
pared, and it was feared that the crew would leave us, but the
captain told us a boat could not live a minute. Nothing could
be dune to repair the vessel until she got off the bank. Only
the steam pipe was in some little way secured; and about eight
o'clock the water began to rise, and the captain ordered the en-
' giueer to use every effort to move the engines. In about half
an hour she floated, but frequently struck again, until at last
she struck and lay on her beam ends. The captain ordered
every man to keep his hold, as there was no possibility of stand-
ing on deck. All held.fast, while the sea swept regularly over
the vessel three times per minute, for an hour and a half, it be-
ing very dark and blowing most tremendously. The scene was
awful beyond description; every man now began to look to
Him who holds the winds in his hands, and directs the storm,
and happily (not by the exertions of the sailors, but by the pro-
vidence of God) the wind changed, and beat 'upon the vessel on
the other side, which in same way righted her. The captain,
seeing this, shouted 'o the engineer to make another effort—he
did so, and the vessel Lighted, got off the bank, and about twelve
o'clock we cast anchor. The hurricane continuing, the cable,
though strong chains, broke, and we drifted a little, until another
anchor with a stronger chain cable was got out. Here we re-
mained until the hurricane ceased, which was about five o'clock
on Friday night. The captain said he would now put all ashore
immediately ; preparations were ninde, but he refused, stating
that he believed they could repair the engine, so as to weigh
anchor at twelve or one o'clock, which would be high water.
This caused a great deal of hard sayings to the captain. Twelve
o'clock arrived, and then lie said he durst not venture until day-
light, but would get under weigh about ten o'clock. About fire
o'clock in the morniug, we saw we were about three miles from
Mostvn Quay, Flintshire, and nothing would satisfy a number,
but ihat the boats should be lowered, and they would leave.
The sailors were willing, but the captain objected for awhile,
but at last he gave au order that ail who wanted to go, might.
The boats were lowered, and 2G, with all they had, were landed
on the Fliritshire shore. At ten o'clock the anchor was got up,
and before eleven we set sail. Now a dispute arose whether
the vessel should go to Liverpool or Bangor. The captain put
it to the passengers, saying it was not safe to go to Bangor, hut
he would venture if thery would. It was put to the vote, and
given in favour of Liverpool by.a majority of five. Before three
o'clock we got into Liverpool, and we separated, thanking the
captain for his conduct during the storm.—Communicated by a
Passenyer.

Arabia never was conquered by any foreign nation. Its sands
have been its security, and the poverty of the scattered people
offered no temptation. It was always the native country a ro-
trance and superstition. In it SibTanism, or star worship,
prevailed for indefinite ages, till overturned by. Mahomed, who
was torn zt Mecca iu. t6O.
