absolutely false, in every sense of the Nord, that leftan "eu,

The American ship IVisverley,, Capt. Philips, which sailed
from this port on the 6th. instant, bound to New York with
general cargo, and having onboard 114 passengers, 98 of whom
were Steerage passengers, returned: to Liverpool on -Sunday
last, having experienced the heavy {tales of last week, which
caused her to strain and become extremely' .-A large
portion of the provisions laid in- by the passengers has been
rendered totally unfit fur use.. The ship is . now. ordered to be
discharged, and the passengers, •we understand, through the in-
terference of the government agent for emigration with the
broker, •are likely to ho furnished with a passage by another
vessel. The new passengers' regulation hill is now in full force;
it arrived here on Friday, last. , , „ •

QustsunK Fstit.7—The cattle fair at Orin sitirk last week was
well attended, there being a great number shown. Very few
sales were made, and those at a much lower rate than the faint-

ers expected.
ACCIDENT ON THE BOLTON AND BURY CANA L.—FOT SOMC
weeks past workmen have been employed in making a diversion;
about a quarter of a mile long, in that part of the Bolton and
'Bury canal which passes through Charlestown,-the-oki site of
the canal being required fur the railrOad Which the canal pro,
ptietors are constructing. As the work approached its termina-
tion, it was found necessary to dam up tlie-water of the canal at
Agecrott Bridge. in order to prevent its bursting through the
narrow mound of earth which at the point of junction separated
the old from the new line, and the navigation of the canal was
stopped for a time. On Friday. morning week the dam was
removed, nod the water turned into the new channel • and

short time after the Bolton packet had passed throitgl, it was
discovered that the water was oozing through the new bed of the
canal and the cellars in the lower part of Charlestown were
inundated by the overflowing of culvert whiCh convels the
refuse water from the linen factory of Mr. Kaye, on the banks
of the cabal, to the river Irwell: An immediate search was
made into the cause of this Inundation, when it was discovered
that the cutreit w
under the bed of the canal nut arched over

with brick, but metely covered with flags, and that the water
had burst through theta into the culvert. Prompt means were
adopted to stop the progress of the-mischief, but without success,
and about eleven-o'clock at night the body (touter burst through
a thick wall which had been erected to protect the new embank
nient, and another 'new wall which had been built to separate
the towing path from the adjoining fields. The extent of wall
thus thrown down and washed into the fields was about twelve
yards, and the same length of towing: path was also carried
away. In addition to this considerable dareage wai done to the
garden of a market gardener, named Hobson, at Brindle Heath,.
and to the fields and gardens on that side of the canal which is
nearest to Manchester. A large body of workmen are new em-
ployed in the construction of a new culvert, and in repairing
the other ravages of the inundation, and in a few days the canal
will again be open.
Passengers in the Ft-17410nd, Captain Edwards, from Deme-
rara, which sailed on the 25th July last:—Mr. and Mrs. Parr,
Miss Ewing, Mrs. M`Leod, Mr. John Jacobs, and Mr.- Moses
• Benjamin.
CANAL STEAM Towitio-uos.z.—A steam-boat has been in-
troduced on the Regent's Canal, London, fur towing the barges,
, which -.bids fair to supersede the necessity of using horses for
that purpose. The paddle-wheel is affixed to the stern, little
swell is occasioned, and the banks of the canal will not be mate-
s dolly affected.—London paper.
THE MILITIA.—The Gazette of Friday night Contains au
order in council, under provisions of the act for the- further re-
ductions of the militia stab, and to suspend the ballet for tho
militia, seducing the number of serjeants (not inclUding the
serjeants-major) on the 10th of October next, in Certain propor-
tions, provided from schedules.
Wissz INDIA COMPENSATION.—The Gazette of Friday con-
tains an order in council, confirming and allowing the sub-
joined general rule, made by the commissioners under the eman-
cipation act, for the purpose of providing for the pavment of a
certain amount of the compensation monies which may be
adjudged to belong to, ut vested in, persons labouring under-
certain disabilities. "That in all cases in which any compen-
sation monies, not exceeding the sum of two hundred pounds
sterling, shall be adjudged by the commissioners to belong to,
or be vested in any infants or lunatics, such monies shalt be
paid to his. her, or their natural or other guardian or guardians,
committee or committees, to and for the use and benefit of such
infants or lunatics so entitled thereto respectively."

It may not be generally known that a clause in the corpora-
tion bill provides that the local courts shall have the powe, of
hearing and deciding cases of ejectment, where the !rent of the
-tenement occupied is not more than 1:20 w annum.

nuPour ov THE THIRD BRISTOL TEA SALE.—There Iva;
a snore numerous attendance of the trade than at any former,
sale; end, in addition to the usual buyers from London, the West
of England, and South Wales, were several from LiYerrsool, for
the first time, attracted, no doubt, by the unprecedented quan-
tity of line teas declared for sale, All the snuchong, gunpow-
der, and nearly all the hyson and peitoe teas were sold ; and for
the finest qualities of congou, souchong, and gunpowder there
was the greatest competition, and higher prices were paid than.
at any former sale. Fourth-fifths of the teas were sold. The
quantity of souchong and gunpowder exceeded by far that offered
for sale by the East India Company and private trufe, at the
very estentive sales just closed its the metropolis The quality
of Bristol teas will no lunges be contested after these reptatea
trials.

AN EXTRAORDINARY STURGEON.—A sturgeon, of consider-
able site, about five feet lung, Has caught on Friday, opposite
the Prince's Duck, supposed to have been previously hurt Ly
being iu contact with a steam vessel. It was roan perceived
floating on the water, upon which a boat was put out. by some
seamen, who captured it,

NEW CATHOLIC CHAPEL AT BIRKENHEAD.—Yesterday
mm rang, about ten o'clock; a' procession was marshalled iu
Williamson-square, consisting principalty of Irish labourers,
for the purpose of proceeding to Birkenhead to wituess the lay
ing of the foundation stone of the catholic chapel about to be
erected at that place. The procession was heaued by n band of
music. A large gilt cross, the banner of St—Patrick. and a
great number of other trumpery flags gave further eclat to the
exhibition, which passed from V.' t, re into Chu rc h.
street, and from thence, through Lord-street and James,street;
to the river. It will be remembered that early in July last,
upon the mere suspicion that the Orange Association of this
town intended to hold a meeting, riots of a very serious nature
occurred, which rendered it necessary to read the riot act and
call upon the military to assist the civil power—riots be it ob-
served, created by the very parties who yesterday had the auda-
city to parade their mummery through the very heart of this
large town. We have heard it rumoured that the chapel is
really intended fur a nunnery—a hether it be so or nut we do
not know.
Fink IN SCOTLAND-ROAD.—On Friday morning, about seven
o'clock, a fire broke out in the shop of Misses Jones, small-
ware-dealers, Scotland-road, which completely gutted it; and,
but for the manly exertions of a scavenger and several seafaring
men, with the assistance of a good pomp in the yard, and
plenty of buckets, probably the range of shops adjoining would
have shared the same fate, as the wild was blowing exceedingly.
fresh at the time. We understand that the Misses Jones-were
not insured, which is deeply to be regretted, as the shop was
their chief support,. and they had this week got a fresh stuck in.
There were no engines present.

been officially issued :—"Notice is hereby given, that, in all

THE SPORM.—TO weather from Wednesday -to Saturday
was very tempestuous. The barometer began to tall on Tues.
day evening; on Wednesday it continued to fill; and on
Thursday it sunk unusually low. The wind, which blew a stiff
trale from the westward onVednesday, increased to a storm on
Thursday, and, as night advanced, swept over the town with
ali the force of a hurricane. The Thetis, Post.office -steam-
packet, dropped down early in the afternoon to Watlasey.hole,
bat the river steamer which was enraged to take the mail and

passengers down to her failed, owing to the violence of th;
storm, in reaching the hole, and the Thetis was forced to re-
turn to the river as the good tide made.. The consequence of
this was, that the Dublin mail, which ought to have been de-
spatebed at five o'clock' on Thursday, was not sent off until
neon on Friday. The Thetis reached Kiugstown at Cite
o'clock on Saturday morbing, and returned to Liverpool by
seven in the evening, with the mail aurhnearly fifty passengers.
Violent as was the storm, we are happy to state that. the cla-
'map which it caused.tu the town and shipping was inconsider-
able. At sea, however, some lamentable disasters have occur-
red. The ship Sarah, which sailed, on Tuesday, for Dente.
rare, was wrecked on Friday in Carnaivon Bay, and the ship
Plutarch, from New Orleans, on the same day, near Thilv-.

ter, on which occasion a considerable number of gentlemen had
