WEST INDIES.

POPISH TYRANNY AGAIN.

(From the Record.)

.Fug.EIGIV AND COLONIAL.

The Clyde, Royal mail steam-ship, Captain Symons,
arrived at Southampton on Tuesday. after. passage of
eighteen days from St. Thomas's. The Clyde was not
.due till the 22nd.
The season throughout the West Indies has been unn-
Anally hot, causing great sickness -and mortality. Deme-
rara was particularly unhealthy, typhus and scarlet fever
raging, in addition to the indigenous fever of the colony.
The Jama'ca House of it,sernbly was opened by the
Earl of Elgin on the 15th of October. The Hill Coolie
proposition was brought forward in a very full house,
and, after a lengthened discussioa, was carried the
number, however, being limited to 2,000, ins- ead of 5,000„
as proposed by the Home Government. The vote has
taken the public by surprise, and is not regarded as the
most sensible proceeding, though some allowance must
be made for the extensive improvements lately effected in
the agricultural operations of the planters by means of
machinery.

On the sth ult. a fearful hurricane raged in Montego
Bay, and the sea was dreadfully perturbed. The schooner
Africanus was driven ashore, and very soon became a
complete wreck. It is impossible to describe the havoc
that has been occasioned. The whole line of coast from
Christie's-rock to Kathren's-beach has been ploughed up,
and bears more or less the marks of the extraordinary
violence of the sea. Every wharf has suffered ; and the
loss of lumber and other property is immense. The
crane at Gun-point-wharf (Jump's) was carried away.
The front part of the wharf (Jump's), occupied by Messrs.
Melhadaes, was considerably undermined. Persons of
all classes and sexes were to be seen hurrying about in
the greatest possible state of agitation and alarm. The
sea rose higher than it had ever before been known to do,
and the waves dashed into the bay with a noise equal to
that of the loudest thunder. A number of schooners,
lighters, and sloops were dashed to pieces, as were also a
vast number of boats.

On Wednesday afternoon last (the 16th of October) a
frightful conflagration, the work of incendiaries, com-
menced. The first property that fell a prey was Uit-
komst, the property of Mr. C. J. Visser, one of the re-
sident planters. After desolating IJitkomst, the fire kept
on its course in a direction due west towards the bead of
the canal, next threatening with destruction Java, the
-fine property of Messrs. Murray, Brothers, and Co., of
this colony and Liverpool. It next proceeded to a third
estate, bordering Jaaa on the west, the De Kinderen,
,onee the well-cultivated property of Mr. Revers, the
entire of which it has laid waste. From De Kinderen
the flames successively traversed plantations Mon Bijou
and Two Brothers, both coffee properties, committing
the mit dreadful havoc on them, and, by accounts re-
ceived from the canal up to a late hour yesterday evening,
were every hour expected, as they had then become quite
irresistible, to invade the next estate to the west, Vreed-
en-Vritulschap. Nothing but heavy rain, of which there
are not the least symptoms, can, we fear, save the whole
of the northern, and by far the most valuable, bank of
the canal, from its dentre to its head, from complete de-
struction.--Georgetown Gazette.

On the 9 h instant, as six passengers were crossing
Gibraltar Bay in a boat, it unforturntely, by some un-
known means, was seen to go down, when these persons,
along with the boaf man, were drowned.
The Rev. Dr. Hawks, of Philadelphia, has been elected
to the bishopric of Missouri, in connexion with the
American Episcopal Church. The Rev. Doctor is an
anti-Tractarian.

The 200th anniversary of the birthday of William Penn,
and the 160th of his landing on the shores of the new
world, was celebrated on the 25th ult., at Philadelphia.
with appropriate exercises.
CAPE OF GOOD Hors.—The advices from this quarter
state that the troops under the command of the Lieuten-
ant-Governor continued to occupy their position on the
frontier, while the question of the "neutral territory"
was settled, and notwithstanding the appearance of the
Caffres was peaceable, it was not deemed advisable to
withdraw them till the whole of the matter was arranged.
Sir P. Maitland, the new governor, had arrived at Algoa
Bay, and his first act was to order e arrangement of the
land claims in 1820.

LARDNER.—We learn, from the American papers
just received, that Dr. Lardner has recently sustained a
severe loss, The Providence Theatre has been destroyed
by fire, and with it the whole of his lecturing apparatus.
The building bad been occupied the evening previous by
Dr. Lardner, who delivered there the last of his course of
scientific lectures. Besides the scenery and fixtures of she
theatres, all the doctor's philosophical apparatus, including
the great microscope, and a splendid collection of paint-
ings, worth together 15,000 dollars, was consumed ; and,
it is said, the doctor had effected uo insurance on the
property.

SPAlN.—Accounts from Victoria of the 13th announce
the breaking out of an insurrection at Logrono, in the
province of Old Castile, beaded by the famous chief,
Martin Zurbano, who had raised the constitution of 1837
as the standard of revolt in the Ebro. A considerable
force had joined him. It does not determine what the
precise views of Zurbano are beyond the upsetting of the
present system. It is said that he proposes the constitu-
tion of 1812, udder which the Queen would be still a
minor, and the regency be again open to Espartero.
Zurbano has taken up a position in his old station of the
Sierra de Cameros, from whence, if he can but maintain
himself during the winter, he proposes in the spring to
ravage the low countries to the Ebro. He wilt have Much
difficulty to procure subsistence and bold his ground in
those desolate hills; but the Queen's troops will have a
still more difficult task to dislodge him.
NEW SOUTH WALES.—Sydney papers to the 30th of
July have arrived. The business of the colony was im-
proving, and the manufacture of tallow continued to in-
crease. Several of the cargoes intended for immediate
despatch to England had been made up with this new ar-
ticle. Accordirig to general account, the clip wool was
favourable, and the result of the late sales in the mother
country induced the flock-masters to hold out for higher
prices. The meetings of the three principal banks had
been held, and the reports made by two of the director-
ates were satisfactory to the wishes of the proprietors.
The Bank of New South Wales had declared a dividend
at 2 per cent. for the half-year; the Commercial Bank
was st .ted to be in a condition to pay off its late losses ;
but the Bank of Australia laboured under the disadvan-
tage of a heavy debt to the Bank of Australasia, which it
seemed to be considered there would be a-difficulty in
paying, especially as the directors of the latter company
were hot inclined to admit of any compromise. Accounts
in these papers from New Zealand to the 14th of July
allude to the shock cf an earthquake felt at Wellington.
Another fact worth notice is, that the whaling stations in
this locality had been very successful.

An occurrence took place at Malta a few months since
which will excite the surprise of the public in this coun-
try, and can scarcely be reconciled with our established
principles of Briti-h law and of religious liberty. A
priest named Camilleri superintended a large school in
Valetta for boys and girls. An attachment having
ensued between him and the mistress of the girl's division
of the school, they eloped to Gibraltar, made there a re-
cantation of their former faith and a profession of Pro-
testantism, and were married by the Protestant clergyman,
Archdeacon Burrows. They returned to Malta in a few
weeks and professed the Reformed religion, to which they
have since adhered. Camilleri has, as teas to be expected,
been subjected since to violent persecution both by his
countrymen and former Church. On one occasion his
life was only saved from the fury of an immense mob in
the streets by the timely exertions of the police : several
of the ringleaders were taken and condemned to impri-
sonment. Subsequently, an action was brought against
him in the civil court by the family of his wife's former
husband to oblige him to give up the two children of that
marriage, to prevent their being brought up in the Pro-
testant faith. Sentence was pronounced against him on
the plea that the vow of celibacy which he had taken
when ordained a priest was one from which he could
never be absolved by any earthly power—that, therefore,
the marriage was null and void—and that consequently,
as Mrs. Camilleri was, according to the interpretation of
the court, living in a state of concubinage—she was not a
fit person 10 be intrusted with the charge of her own
children. Cammilleri having refused to submit to this
decision, be was cited before the Roman Catholic Eccle-
siastical or Bishops' Court, which confirmed the sentence
of the civil court in the following terms :
" That, whatever in a spiritual point of view, as far as
concerns the persuasion and conscience of the contracting
parties themselves, may be the value of the marriage of
the applicant with the Rev. Michael Angelo Camilleri, he
having however in the country, and according to the law
of the same, already vreviously to such marriage, by his
own choice irrevocably contracted the incapacity to
marry, his connexion with the applicant cannot in the eye
of the law of the country, be regarded as, nor admitted to
be, a legal marriage so far as concerns its civil effects.
That the eircums.ance of the connexion of the applicant
with the Rev. Michael Angelo Camilleri not being recog-
nised by the law of the country as capable of producing
the civil effect of a legal marriage, affording by itself alone
and independently of any other consideration whatever, a
sufficient ground in law for the proceedings instituted by
the present defendant Evangelisti Fleri, it confirms the
disputed sentence pronounced by the first hall of the
Royal Civil Court, 6th February, 1844, with the expense
of this suit only."
It appears that some opposition was offered by Camil-
leri to the execution of the warrant of the Court for tak-
ing away the two children, in consequence of which he
was brought before the magistrate, by whom, upon the
evidence of the police, he was sentenced to an imprison-
ment of twenty days. This sentence was, however, im-
mediately commuted by H. E. the Governor of Malta to
a fine of 200 taxis (.£1 7s. d.,) and liberation.
[lt will be remembered that during the consideration cf.
the claim to the Dukedom of Sussex in the House of
Lords, Dr. Wiseman, a Roman Catholic bishop, gave the
following evidence on oath :—" A marriage at Rome be-
tween two Protestants, before a Protestant clergyman,
would be deemed a valid marriage at Rome. The parties
could not separate nor marry again. The rights of suc-
cession would take place upon such marriage. It would
the subject of ecclesiastical censure.
not be They would
-be considered as man and wife. If the marriage between
them would be valid according to their own religion, the
Church of Rome
would consider it valid." Now although
a Catholic
gives evidence that a marriage of this kind
would be valid at Rome, yet the Malta lay court declares
a marriage performed in Gibraltar between two Protes-
tants, and performed by a Protestant minister, as null and
void in Malta, a portion of H. B. Majesty's domi-
nions !! Who is right—Bishop Wiseman or the Court
of Malta ?]
