CONVOCATION ASSEMBLY

The assembly met at eleven o'clock—the proceedings being
opened with Divine service.
A deputation from the Presbyterian Church of Ireland
came forward to the bar, with an address expressive of their
sympathy and concurrence of that church with the proceed-
ings of those who now constituted the Free Presbyterian
Church of Scotland. Several of the members of the popu-
tation addressed the assembly, warmly approving the course
they had taken in vindicating their principles.
Dr. Chalmers, in the name of the assembly, thanked the
Presbyterian Church of Ireland for their friendly sympathy
and regard as evinced by this address, and by the sentiments
of the deputation. He considered the Irish Presbyteria❑
Church a model of what a free church ought to be in connec-
tion with the State, for while it received a❑ endowment from
the State, it was allowed perfect freedom and uncontrolled
authority i❑ all its ecclesiastical affairs.
Dr. Cooke being loudly called for, stood up and delivered
a commentary on the subject of the Queen's letter to the
General Assembly. This document he thought very unin-
telligible, as it was quite impossible to understand from it
what were the intentions of the government in regard to the
questions which had caused the separation. He fully agreed
with those who bad seceded, though he deeply regretted the
injury which the disruption would occasion to the Established
Church of Scotland.

After the appointment of several committees the assembly
adjourned till the evening.

The assembly met again at seven o'clock, when the hall
was quite crowded.

THE FIRST SIINDAY.—On Sunday most of the city
churches, especially those of the Non-intrusion party, were
crowded extremely. In the evening Dr. Candlish preached
in the great hall at Canonmills. Here the crowds who
assembled were so numerous that not one-half of them could
get admission, in consequence of which Mr. Chalmers, of
Dailly, and Mr. 0. J. Brown, of Edinburgh, preached in
two separate parts of the park, to assemblages in the open
air. In St. Andrew's Church (the General Assembly Hall),
there was a prayer meeting in the evening, at which his Grace
the Lord High Commissioner and suite attended. The church
was also crowded to excess, hundreds being unable to gain
admission. The Moderator, Dr. Muir, Dr. Ralph, and Mr.
Proudfoot officiated. A somewhat remarkable incident took
place at the beginning of the service. When a psalm was
given out, his grace stood up to the worship, which example
was immediately followed by the multitude assembled, and
the same solemn course was properly observed throughout
the evening.—Caledonian Mercury.

A MARKETABLE INJunr.—The Gazette des Tribunauz
states that great sensation has been created in the quarter of
the Marais by the following circumstance :—On the Bth inst.
the Commissary of Police was called upon to visit the apart-
ments of a M. T—, for the purpose of detecting his wife
in adultery with his landlord, named B—. This was done ;
but M. B— was left at liberty at the desire of the com-
plainant, who soon afterwards visited him, and said he was
willing to abandon his intention of prosecuting if he would
nay him a sum of 20,000 f. This was refused ; and T—
then reduced his demand successively to 6,000 f., which was
also refused, 15— declaring that he would abide the judg-
ment of a tribunal. T— frequently repeated his demand,
and three days ago again visited B— to renew the pro-
position. Meeting again with a refusal, he took from his
pocket two pistols, and presenting them at the breast of
B—, threatened to shoot him if he did not comply with
hia demand. Tho wife and daughter of 13-, who were in
an adjoining room, rushed in, and disarmed the intruder;
and yesterday a charge of attempt at extortion, with menaces,
was made against T—, who was arrested.

IMPROVEMENT OF WATERMEN.—It war our painful office
last week to call the attention of our readers to some very
gross acts of cruelty exercised by men belonging to this class
towards the poor beasts used in dragging their vessels. But
it is gratifying to find that although there are so many water-
men hardened in vice and wickedness, there are others of a
different character. At the anniversary of the Sabbath So-
ciety in London last week, there were many pleasing in-
stances brought forward, proving that where cessation from
Sunday traffic had been obtained, and religious instruction
provided for these men, much good had resulted, and a bene-
ficial change had been, through the Divine blessing, pro-
duced in characters once abandoned and profligate. The
following is an extract from the report read at the annual
meeting of thzt Naval and Military Bible Society, held on the
9th instant :—" A novel and important feature in the past
year's operations was the employment of a special temporary
agent for nine months, to place the word of God in the hands
of boatmen engaged in the inland navigation of our rivers
and canals. The result of his labours in this interesting
sphere was the distribution of 2,353 copies of the Holy Scrip-
tures, of which 257 were sold, the remainder having been
placed in boats as part of their stores. Much gratitude was
expressed by many of these poor fellows on finding they were
thus thought of and cared for by the Society ; and there is
reason to hope that those who have been hitherto so igno-
rant and dissipated, may, by these means, be elevated in
their moral and religious habits. Agents at Northwich,
Uxbridge, Dudley, and Etruria (in Staffordshire,) bad also
distributed to canal boatmen 521 copies ; and 120 copies had
been furnished to the Inland Navigation Society, making a
total distribution to canal boatmen of 2,994 copies." We
understand that these grants were made among nearly 30
navigations, and many in consequence of express applications
from benevolent individuals, kindly interesting themselves in
behalf of this long-neglected class of their countrymen, con-
nected with their vicinity. We trust that increasing attention
will be paid to the instruction of this class, proverbial for all
kinds of vice; for although the arm of the law may repress,
to a certain extent at least, external acts of cruelty or rob-
bery, yet no thorough reformation can be expected unless
sound religious principles be inculated and public worship
devoutly regarded. We hope also that, in the plan adopted
by the Legislature for the spiritual welfare of the working
el apes,. thle demoralltal bruter on will o,olo4ked A

A newspaper is now published in Jerusalem in three lan-
guages, German, English, and Hebrew. It is said to be un-
der the superintendence of Dr. Alexander, the new Protes-
tant bishop.—Debats.
Mr. J. H. Sadler, at Holbeck, in Leeds, has invented a
loom for weaving each sail of a ship, even of the largest class,
in one entire piece ; thus greatly increasing the strength, and
diminishing the weight.
THE TEA TRADE, MAY 22.—The deliveries last week
were 504,045 lb., being again a full quantity. The trade,
though not brisk, has been steady. To-morrow there are
public sales of rather above 20,000 packages.
A poor girl, aged 13, whilst lett at home alone at Newtown,
near Leinster, was burnt to death on Friday last. She was
subject to epileptic fits, and whilst seized with one of them
rolled into the fire.
The Severn, West Indian Royal Mail Steam-ship, had her
first trial on Saturday. The result was very satisfactory.
Her speed averaged eight and a half miles per hour, and the
revolutions of the engines were 133/4 per minute.
The last number of the Quarterly Review, (published on
Saturday,) which is no mean authority, and which certainly
cannot be accused of any ungenerous opposition to the
Tractarian party, says, " that to preach in the surplice is as
uncanonical and unreasonable as it is unusual.
A New York paper mentions a recent attempt to blow up
the ice in Buffalo harbour by gunpowder, and concludes the
project to be impracticable, because a charge of 20lb. only
excavated a space 20 feet in diameter. Let them try a larger
dose.

MORTALITY OF LONDON.—The number of deaths in the
metropolis during the week ending the 13th of May, accord-
ing to the last returns of the Registrar-General, was 883,
being 20 less than the weekly average of the last five years,
and 29 more than that of the five past springs.
REPEAL PROCESSION.—The procession filled our streets
on Sunday. The Examiner estimates the numbers who ap-
peared in the procession at 500,000. Five Hundred Thou-
sand! Think of that, in a single gathering.—Cork Consti-
tution.

PREPARA.TIONIS FOIL WAR.—AII the Irish forts, castles,
and battlements have been inspected by a government en-
gineer, and ordered to be repaired and placed in a state of
perfect utility. Indeed, the preparations of government are
such as would indicated that a civil war is not far distant.—
Drogheda Conservative.
AN AIIERIC AN ERRATUm.—In a police article, yesterday,
we stated that William Vail had bit off a piece of the nose of
George Mount, when the amount of the matter was that
George Mount bit off a part of the nose of Vail. Mount
was held to bail in the sum of 2,000 dols to answer the
charge.—New York Herald.
MELANCHOLY EVENT.—On Monday morning, while two
young men, in the employment of Messrs. Fyfe, chandlers
and painters, Broomielaw, were engaged painting the bows
and figure-head of the ship Hamilton of Greenock, now lying
on the south aide of the harbour, one of them, James Fyfe,
an apprentice, was drowned.
On Thursday morning last week the frontal bone of one
of our old Scottish elks, now extinct, was dug up from the
river sand opposite to Kelton, near Dumfries. It is a splen-
did specimen, measuring between the topmost branches of
the horns four feet, round the whole from top to top eight
feet, and weighing 241 b. It was bought by a gentleman in
Dumfries.—Dumfries Journal.
SPREAD OF RIII➢ONIsM.—We have beard that the Ribbon
system has latterly been spreading to a great extent in parts
of the counties of Dublin, Meath, Longford, Cavan, and
Monaghan. We have also learned that the government, in
consequence of information received, has instituted inquiries
in the various localities as to the progress of the system.—
Dublin Advertiser.
The West India steam-ship Dee arrived at Falmouth on
the 18th instant. Several of the West India islands were
still unhealthy, and continued shocks of earthquake had
been felt at Antigua, Guadaloupe, &c., &c. At the latter
place it was calculated that about one-third of the crop
would be destroyed. The Dee brings the melancholy intelli-
gence of the Lord Bishop of Jamaica on the 10th April.
WHOLESALE SHEEP-STEALING.—OH Saturday James
Crouch, a drover, who has resided at Loughton, in Essex,
for many years, and his three sons, George, Charles, and
William, were finally examined and committed for trial, at
Waltham Abbey, on a charge of stealing 123 sheep, the pro-
perty of Mr. James Wickham, a gentleman residing near
Winchester.

EXTRAORDINARY SAGACITY.—A person of the name of
George Smith, after having resided at Ecclesfield bar-house,
near Sheffield, many years, removed thence to Leeds. Be-
fore he left Ecclesfiela he gave a cat, which he had had some
time, to a neighbour, and, strange to say, the cat arrived at
the house of its old master at Leeds, a distance of 26 or 27
miles, after a month's absence, almost worn to a skeleton.—
Wakefield Journal.
DEPRECIATION OF PROPERTY IN BRIGIITON.—At a
meeting held at the town-hall, on Monday, the proprietor of
the Bedford Hotel appealed against a charge of £1,250 in
poor-rates ; and counsel having been heard, the assessment
was reduced to £B5O ! Mr. Pegg (the hotel-keeper) stated,
that the receipts of his business for the year ending May 1,
1842, were £1,200 less than for the same period in 1842.
THE WRECK OF THE SOLWAY STE,MER.—MT. Lane,
the purser, and the thief officer of the late unfortunate packet
the Solway. will sail on Monday from Southampton, in the
Canning schooner, chartered for the occasion, with the ne-
cessary apparatus for diving, to recover some of the property
on board the Solway. These gentlemen have made suchterms with the underwriters, that, should they succeed, will
be mutually advantageous to all parties.—Standard.
SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.—About a fortnight ago, Mr.
Amis, veterinary surgeon, while walking through a piece of
ground in his occupation, in a lane called Little World's End,
near New Wisbech, counted the astonishing number of ninety-
nine bats fly out, one after the other, from a small hole in an
old hollow tree. It seems, that they return to the tree after
their Highly rambles ; for they may be seen to leave it every
every evening.—Stamford Mercury.
As examples of property doing its "duty" to God and to
the poor, we hold up, not to the admration of the world,
but to its imitation, the muhificence of one mill-owner, and
of one member of the Government. The mill-owner is Mr.
John Wood, of Bradford, who, at a cost of £15,000 erected
and endowed St. James's Church in that town. The member
of Government is the Hon. Sidney Herbet, Secretary to the
Admiralty, who at a cost of not much less than £20,000,
has erected a church at Wilton.—Halifax Journal.

MURDER.—As a man named Mabony, from the neigh-
bourhood of Listry, was returning from the repeal meeting at
Killorglin, on Sunday night last, he was waylaid and mur-
dered. It is said that he himself had been seven or eight
years ago implicated in the death of another person ; and it
is supposed that the friends of that person wreaked their ven.
geance on him when they found him alone and in their power.
The murderers have not as yet been discovered.—Kirry
Post.

RAILWAY Acct.nusr.—.in accident, which we regret to
say was accompanied with loss of life, occurred on Wednes
day week on the Glasgow and Ayrshire Railway, at the
junction of the Kilmarnock and Ayr branches. When the
late train from Kilmarnock had nearly arrived at the junc-
tion, one of the guards, named James Jack, in attempting to
uncouple the carriages which were to proceed to Ayr from
those going to Glasgow, lost his hold and fell in betwixt the
carriages, two of which passed over his body, killing him on
the spot.
CHURCH RATES.—At a petty sessions, held on Thursday
last at Hackney, several hundred defaulters were summoned
for non payment of church-rates. Some few begged to be
excused on the ground that the rate was " illegal ;" others,
that it was " antiscriptural;, others, that it was "unchristi-
an ;" and one gentleman, because it was "unneighbourly."
A novel case brought before the Bench was that of the rector
of the parish, the Rev. T. 0. Goodchild, who had declined
payment on the ground that his liability to repair the chancel
exempted him from church-rate.
Five PERSONS DROWNED.—On Saturday last Captain
Wilson, of Portaferry, with his son and three other hands,
left that place in a boat for Castleward, where they took in
some timber; and returning to Portaferry, in place of cross-
ing straight from Castleward Bay, they drifted down towards
Strangford Bay, the current being usually very strong on this
ferry. In their effort to alter the boat's course they were
unfortunately upset, and all on hoard perished. It is said
that some of the party had been under the influence of drink.
—Ulster Times.
Miss MlTFortn.—We are happy to find that the subscrip-
tion raised for relieving the difficulties of this amiable lady
has been so far successful, that in a letter to the Rev. William
Kinsey, acknowledging his kind interest on her behalf, the
gifted authoress writes :—" You will, I know, be glad to hear
that things are going on well, so far as the subscription is
concerned. The debts are all paid, and there will be some
hundreds surplus, which was what my friends wished in their
kindness ; for my own part, I was ever more set upon the
payment of the debts, but now both parties are gratified."
A NON-INTRUSION ONIF.N.—The morning levee of the
Lord Commissioner had been marked by an incident of a
somewhat extraordinary nature, and which history, though
in these days little disposed to mark prodigies and omens,
will scarce fail to record. The crowd in the Chamber of
Presence was very great, and there was, we believe, a con-
siderable degree of confusion and pressure in consequence.
Suddenly—whether brushed by some passerby, jostled rudely
aside, or merely affected by the tremor of the floor com-
municated to the partitioning—a large portrait of William
111., that had held its place in Holyrood for nearly a century
and a half, dropped heavily from the walls. "There," ex-
claimed a voice from the crowd, " there goes the Revolution
Settlement."—Edinburgh Witness.
SHOCKING HEATH Or THE HON. LADY JANE COLVILLE.
—The following are the particulars connected with the un-
fortunate lady's death :—lt appears that on Friday morning
her Ladyship rang the hell for one of the domestics to bring
a lighted wax taper for the purpose of sealing a letter. The
taper was brought, and placed by her direction on the floor
near the foot-stool. By some means her Ladyship's dress
soon ignited, and when discovered she was completely en-
veloped in flames.
The alarm having been raised, several of
the footmen succeeded in extinguishing
the flames, but, un•
happily, not before she was so dreadfully burned about the
body and head that she died on Saturday morning. lier
Ladyship was in her 54th year. It is a remarkable fact that
Sir George during the latter part of his life feared some me-
lancholy accident would occur to her Ladyship, and never
would permit a fire being made in her bedroom.
PECULATION IN THE HOUSEHOLD.—Since the sudden
disappearance of Mr. Ralph William Spearman (who held
the valuable appointment of Secretary to the Master of the
Horse in the household of her Majesty), at the latter end of
last January, from his residence in the Queen's-mews, Pim-
lico, the most searching investigation has been going on into
the accounts of the absent secretary, by an eminent account-
ant, the result of which examination shows a deficiency of
£B,OOO. The whole of Mr. Spearman's defalcations will
have to be made good by the Earl of Albemarle, the late
Master of the llorse, and by the Earl of. Jersey, who suc-
ceeded Lord Albemarle upon his lordship's resignation on
the 4th of September,' after the amount of the defi-
ciency which occurred during the respective periods of these
two noble lords holding the appointment in the Royal house-
hold ahall have been ascertained. itio tidings of Mr. Spear-
man h°'"he heard bs frisn'le 41Aldttl theapa

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.—On Sunday last, Miss Collins,
aged 50, the daughter of a distinguished naval officer and
sister-in-law of Dr. Connlly, committed suicide by preipita-
tine; herself from one of the upper windows of the Middlesex
Pauper Lunatic Asylum. She had been subject to various
delusions but was not an inmate of the institution ; and, had
come on a visit in order that her friends might determine what
to do with her. She had not been placed under restraint as
there was no apprehension of danger to her. At the coroners
inquest Dr. Conolly said that about 3 o'clock on Sunday
morning, he was awoke by the deceased coming haitily into
his bed room, which was situate a story lower than her own.
She asked if that was his (witness) bed-room, and if he had a
light? It was then dayligt. She then asked witness if he
could explain to her " the prediction ;" and added that she
thought it meant that she must burn herself, and that she had
been thinking of jumping out of the window. In order to
gain a little time, witness asked her if she had not slept well,
and what was the matter ? Deceased answered, " Oh, yes,
I have had a sweet sleep." Witness then began to get out
of bed, and the door having been left wide open by the de-
ceased, she instantly ran quickly away and up-stairs again.
Witness waited a moment to put on a dreasing gown, and
then foliowed her to her loom. Having knocked at the door,
and hearing no answer, he went in, and then saw that the
window was wide open. He would there mention that the
room he was speaking of was a private part of the establish-
ment in which the windows had been all altered during his
absence from the asylum, and did he not recollect that they
were not secured until he saw it open. Almost immediately
after entering the room, he heard a movement, and instantly
saw the deceased spring upon the window sill. He immedi-
ately ran ronnd the bed to the window, and caught her by
the left hand with his left hand, and by her night dress with
his right hand. At that time she had sprung from the ledge
of the window, and seemed to rest on a broad (spring) ledge
of the wall, about 9 or 10 inchos wide, and about four feet
below the window. Her dress shortly_ gave way, and she
partly tore it away with her disengaged right hand, and im-
mediately threw herself of the ledge, when the whole weight
of her body rested on the rist of her left hand. While so
situate, the deceased kept up a continued wrestling to get
away, in order to throw herself off. He, however, continued
to hold her by the wrist, or rather above it, and called and
cried out for assistance for, he should say, for full 20 minutes,
and was heard in different parts of the building, but the per-
sons who heard him could not tell whence the cries procee-
ded. Witness then felt her wrist slip through hie hand, and
he had then only hold of her by the hand, and eventually her
fingers, and at last, being completely spent with his exertions,
he could no longer bold her, and she fell to the bottom. Du-
ring the time he held her, whenever he renewed his hold the
the deceased renewed her struggles to get free. Her eyes
were shut, and appeared determined on effecting her object.
Witness immediately hurried to the bottom of the building,
and found the deceased in the area. She was lying on her
left side, and was nearly doubled up, and in witness's opinion
was then quite dead.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 23.
Though there is scarcely any addition to our supplies since
Friday, and the pretensions of holders, from the improved
tone of most of the country markets, are equally firm as on
that day, the disposition to active business has been materi-
ally checked this morning by the slack state of the trade in
London. Upon a moderate sale, however, all descriptions
of Wheat fully supported our currency of this day se'nnight,
and in particular instances, as in fine Irish and some Medi-
terranean parcels, ld. to 2d. per 701 b. advance was realised,
though by no means freely. No bonded transactions are
reported.
Flour in tolerable request at the amendment above stated.
Grinding Barley and Beans are rather more saleable, and
their late value maintained. Malt Is. per quarter dearer.
Oats are held for id. to ld. per 451 b., and Oatmeal for
Is. per 2401 b. advance upon the rates of Tuesday last, but
having in consequence little country demand, the sales to-day
are very muci► in retail.
