his OWL') advAdtage under the cover of falsehsodEbut like
all liar's and jesuits he did so in a way that must and will
open the eyes of the people of Scotland.
O'CONNELL professes to sympathise with the French on
the galling obstructions to which-the press has been ex-
poseht the citizen king. But will any man with a grain
of sense believe that O'CONNELL is siticere ? During
thelew' years of Louts PHILIPPE'S reign—only five in
all—that a free press existed in France, the Roman Ca-
tholic clergy kept aloof from and refused to recognise him.
When men were allowed to discuss all questions without
reserve the priests kept sulkily in the back ground, trem-
bling for the fate of their beloved superstitions, and la,
menting the loss of that plunder, and those taxes upon
ignorance and credulity, which they enjoyed before the
revolution. But the moment despotism lifted its hands,
and Louts PHILIPPE had resolved to coerce the journal-
ists who had raised him to the throne, the old bigots came
forth from their hiding places, nauseating him with their
congratulations, and offering masses for the good of his
soul. Popery and tyranny are synonymous terms, and
well O'CoNtqam. knows it; but it suits his present pur-
pose to tell a different tale in Scotland. How long will
any portion of the people suffer themselves to be duped
by such an impostor?

The FOURTH OF OCTOBER will now very soon be
here. The national importance of this day demands of
us that we again remind our readers of the solemn obli-
gation under which every protestant ought to foci him-
self, to observe this day as a centenary commemoration
of his deliverance from the enslaving thraldom of papal
bondage. It has been well remarked that the only way,
in which we. can shew our sense of the gracious interpo-
sitions of GOD in our behalf is by unfeigned gratitude,
and a constant remembrance of the Divine favours. But
alas! 'how •Pften, notwithstanding the lightness of the
imposed yoke, do the conditions of our acceptance of
these mercies remain unfulfilled.

The generality of mankind seem to act as though ,they
were too proud to acknowledge a benefit, even from the
GIVER of all good ! Indeed so diffiAllt has it ever ap-
peared for men to acknowledge and commemorate a fa-
vour at the hands of OMNIPOTENCE, that GOD foresaw
that it would be necessary to command that AARON'S
rod, and the pot of manna, should be laid up in the sanc-
tuary, and that stones should be erected at the passing of
Jordan, to prevent successive generations forgetting HIS
power and goodness to their forefathers. An instance of
this care on the part of OMNISCIENCE for his fallen crea-
tures is found in the injunction of the SAVIOUR himself
that there should be frequent commemorations of bis
death and passion, lest even that awful proof of AL-
MIGHTY goodness should escape the treacherous memo•
ries of the sinful race of ADAM.

We live in an age by no means over anxious to ad-
mire and take notice of any remarkable instances of
DIVINE PROVIDENCE, either in our preservation from
dangers, or in our deliverance out of them. It is no very
long time since a member of the legislature was found
with sufficient hardihood to deny. the necessity of recog-
nizing a superior and nver-rulingpolver in theadministra-
tion of mundane affairs. How thankful then ought we.
to be that it has occurred to the minds of those zealous
for GOD'S glory, and who sigh over the mention of our
national grievances, to recommend a religious celebra-
tion of the approaching Fourth of October. .
The reformation was not the work of one man, nor
the occupation of but a single day. There were several
circumstances in its progress which are every way
worthy of a grateful remembrance ; but we think there
could not have been a period of time fixed upon during
which a mightier achievement for the cause of truth was
completed, than that day and hour which presented pro-
testant England with the first complete English translation
of the Word of Eternal Life. The individual to whom,
under GOD, England owes the blessing of the first en-
tire copy of the Sacred Oracles in the mother tongue
is MYLES COVERDALE, subsequently made bishop of Ex-
eter in the reign of our young JoslAs, King EDWARD VI.
This MYLES COVERDALE brought his printing of this
Bible to a close on the fourth day of October, 1535.
Three hundred years have now passed since that glori-
ous event, and its ever having taken place is unmarked
by a periodical thanksgiving. Let this blot no longer
continue as.a stain upon the gratitude of the English
people ; let it no'longer remain a slur upon the piety of
a professedly christian nation.

The appearance which popery now wears is of a very
desperate character. The continent of Europe, once the
main stronghold of this debasing superstition, has, in
more places than one, refused to acknowledge the unli-
mite'd authority of a papal bull. The edicts of the
spiritual despot have been trodden under foot by those
very persons who once yielded to them an implicit obedi-
ence. To these repeated defections from the allegiance
once acknowledged to the man of Rome may be traced
the unblushing effrontery of these sons of error and of
violence in the recent attempts of the priests of Rome to
dethrone the lawful monarch of Ireland. No cairn ob-
server of events can fail to see that these attempts to
establish popery in the sister island are. but the struggles
of an intolerant church to subjugate that country to the
see of Rome, as was the case in the Irish rebellion, when
the papists submitted their distracted kingdom to the
tender mercies of Pope URBAN the EIGHTH. We must
never forget the following testimony of the great Romish
Doctor BELLARMINE, who, in his work "De Rom. Pnn-
tific.," in the sixth section of his fifth book, thus writes:
—" Papa potest regna mutare, et uni auferre, et. alteri
conferre, tanquam summus princeps spiritualis ;" i. e.
" The Pope can overthrow kingdoms—take away from
one and give to another—in his character of chief spiri-
tual prince." Nor is this the arbitrary opinion of BEL-
LARMINE. SUAREZ and Cardinal PERRON, with many
other of their mitred doctors, agree herein ; but, as if
this were not sufficient, we have four general councils to
attest its accuracy as a doctrine of the Romish church.
This doctrine is an interpretation and an attempted jus-
tification in the third and fourth Lateran Councils, in the
council of Lyons, and that of Constance.
We are fully aware that we shall be told that this
proves nothing against the present race of papists, and
fails to establish the identity of any doctrine held by them
now. We,'however, contend that this is a faithful repre-
sentation of one feature of the popish portrait. Had the
emissaries of Rome but the power, depend upon it they
would not fail to exert the " lawful privileges" which
they maintain the head of their church has a right to exer-
cise. The events of each recurring day prove to us that
it is no want ofinclination on the part of the assailants
which now for a time averts the deadly blow aimed at
our liberties and our religion by the agents of the pa-
pacy. When did an opportunity occur which found them
unprepared to strike ? The arm of oppression is ever
and anon upraiSed, and nothing but the absence of power
has ever prevented its falling with an unrelenting
severity.

We are not prepared to say whether or • no, in these
dominions, papists have of late years increased in num-
bers. Of this one thing, however, we are assured, viz.,
that the papacy has gained additional countenance among
us, and the holy indignation which was excited in the
minds of our forefathers at the recollection of a spiritual
tyranny has given place to a vile apathy while our best
and noblest interests are at stake. Shame, deep shame
to tbe descendants of LUTIIER and CALVIN, if they allow
the monuments reared by ancestral piety to be levelled
again with the dust. Awful, indeed, is our responsibility
if we allow the bright gem of truth to be torn from the
princely diadem, and a mass of tawdry and flimsy error
to be substituted in its place. The base union which has
recently been entered into between papists and infidels—
the .unnatural connexion of spiritual despotism with de-
mocratic contempt of discipline—the unhallowed league
of that nondescript band of lukewarm religionists and
avowed infidels yoked with the .fiery zelotism of papists,
cannot be an enduring system. They may, however,
remain united long enough to work much mischief, and
it behoves every friend of truth to buckle on his armour,
and to be prepared to give deadly battle to the emissaries'
of soul-destroying error.
To the clergy of the land we feel that it would.savour
of presumption did we remind Ahem of their solemn duty
‘un an occasion like the. present. We hie full confi-
:tlence in thoir piety, and place ,a ,firm yeliance.un their

unflinching zeal. We glory in the jtvou anticipation
of the forthcoming festival. Th'will, indeed, be a me-
morable day on which the walls of every church in the
united kingdom shall echo with the determined protest of
honest men against the debasing errors of the popish
creed: such a blowing of the trumpet of alarm cannot be
without its good effect. Those who now slumber at their
posts will awake to a sense of the dangers which
threaten the very citadel of their faith and hopes.
Popery already quails ere yet the threatened blow has
been dealt. Protestant England is aroused. The
faithful attendants on the sanctuary of her church are al-
ready girt and ready for 'the encounter—aye, were the
papacy ten-fold as strong in the affections of the people
as it is, its delusions must give place to the powerful ex-
ertions of the champions of the reformed faith.
Once more we conjure our protestant brethren that they
make this day a day of national rejoicing—a jubilee
worthy of the object it commemorates. if we fail to do
this, the very Heathens of old will rise up in judgment
against us. They failed not to adorn their temples with
the spoils taken in their victorious battles, and their
sailors recorded the favour of their fabled Neptune in
suffering them to escape from shipwreck by hanging up
their vestes votivas. Let it not then be said of us:that,
while we note down injuries and insults with a precision
corresponding to that described by the poet—

Menet alt inente repostum
Judiciuin Paridis—
that while we thus record what we ought to banish from
our memories, we are remiss in the sense we entertain
of benefits received ; let not our gratitude be like the
sudden flame of joy, which, though bright for a time,
soon, changing its complexion, grows pale, ends in
ashes, and is blown away. Let not such supineness be
chargeable on us. On the contrary, let us remember
that in.: celebrating the three hundredth anniversary of
the day on which the first entire copy of the English
Bible was completed, we are celebrating the possession
of a grand instrument in the effecting cur deliverance
from a degrading superstition. Let us recollect farther
that our cause is the CAUSE OP TRUM

EXTRAORDINARY Esc A PE.—As a gig, containing two persons,
drawn by a spirited horse, was proceeding down Bold-street
yesterday, between ten and eleven o'clock, a child about five or
six years old, in crossing the street, was knocked down by coin-
ing in contact with the horse, and the gig also passed over the
little creature ; it was, however, taken up unhurt, with the ex-
ception of a slight bruize on. the urn.

QUICK VOYAGE.--The ship City of Waterford, 375 tons, a
regular trailer to Quebec, sailed from Liverpool on the 17th
of July last, discharged, loaded a full cargo, and sailed from
Quebec 27th of August, and arrived at Waterford in 20 days,
having completed the voyage out and home in the short space
of 59 days. She has completed two voyages this year in the
period of four months and six days.
Passengers by the Laura, Captain Tobin, from Demerara,
Mr. Joseph Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Roberts. Mrs. Bowes, Mrs.
Heyland, Mr. Rolison, Miss and Masters Turton.

TRAVELLING FROM HULL TO LIVERPOOL.—It is in contem-
plation to start a coach from Hull to Liverpool in one day, via
Selby. Thence the passeugers will be taken ou the railroad to
Leeds, from Leeds to Manchester by coach, to meet the last
train of carriages to Liverpool the same evening. This will,
no doubt, prove one of the greatest accommodations to travellers
which has ever been presented to this large commercial town.—
Hull Rockingham.
CAUTION TO THE VENDERS OF BAD FISH.— On Thursday
last Wheeler, a market looker, appeared before the mayor,
and laid the following informations:—Against Eliza Peunett,
for" having, on the preceding Saturday, exposed for sale, in
St. John's Market, fifty-two pounds of plaice, flukes, &c., the
same being unfit fur food. Against John Grecian, the keeper
of a wholesale vault, at St. John's Market, for having in his
posseiision seventy pounds of bad fish of various descriptions,
which he was selling to hawkers. Wheeler further stated, that
be had, en former occasions, seized herrings and turbot from
this vault, which were in a state of decomposition. Against
Mary Jones, for having exposed for sale, in St. John's Mar-
ket, on the preceding Saturday, eighty pounds of bad fish.
Mrs. Jones said, that she had bought the fish in question from
Mr. Grecian, not knowing it to be bad. Against Mary Haines,
for having exposed for sale sixty-five pounds of unsound fish.
Mrs. Haines also pleaded that she had bought the fish from
Mr. Grecian. Against David Organ, for having exposed for
sale ninety-eight pounds of conger-eel, which numbers of per-
sons were purchasing from him when it was seized, though
Wheeler described it as completely rotten. His worship the
mayor stated. that, as this was the first offence of all the parties
save one, scrshould 'it also be the lest instance of his leuiency.
With ,respect to Grecian, his worship ordered that lie should
give up the vault which he occupied. The others were dismis-
sed without fine, but were ordered to pay the costs.
BIRTH EXTRAORDINAKY'—On Sunday last, at Bootle, the
wife of a labourer, named Southward, was delivered of three
fine girls, all doing well. Mr. Shaw, iu a letter to a contem-
porary, says:—"'They are fine, beautiful infants, and are
er+td Vii- most• coinfortylsly together in a large clothes-basket.
They have..been baptized by the Rev. Mr. Gladstone; by the
names of Mary, Ellen, and Margaret. In proof of what ex-
ertinus and privations the peasantry can endure, this poor
woman was working hard at the washing tub until a late hour
on Saturday evening. The mother and her little progeuy seem
very comfortable at present—thanks to the care and attention
of a worthy gentleman and his lady, of. Walton, who hive sent
them a nurse and some baby-linen, besides allowiitg, them
whatever their bountiful establishment produced." We do not
know whether the gentleman to whom Mr. Shaw alludes is the
same who not only sent a half barrel of ale to the poor woman,
but promised to give her £lOO if she could bring them up so as
to walk.

REFItAcToRY WoRKMAN.—On Thursday last, Joseph Leigh
was brought before the Mayor and Sir T. firabcker, charged by
his employer, Mr. Arch. Mimsfield, earthenware manufacturer,
Canning-street with repeated acts of neglect of duty. It appear-
ed that the prisoner filled the situation of "glossed fireman ;"
that on Tuesday last he left au oven in the process of firing to
the'care of a boy for several hours, while he was seated in a pub-
lic house. This was just discovered in time by Mr. Mansfield's
son, or the whole, of considerable value, wouldhave been dama-
ged by an excess of fire. When he again came to the works he
was intoxicated and behaved with the utmost rudeness and vio-
lence. On several former occasions he had similary misconduct-
ed himself, for which he had been discharged, but the prisoner
would not be discharged, replying he must see about that, as lie
was hired, and would not leave. The magistrates expressed
themselves in the strongest terms of indignation at such con-
duct, and committed the prisoner to the house of correction for
two mouths and to be kept to hard labour.
CAUTION TO PUBLICANS.—The keeper of a tavern, in Be-
Vington-bush, was, on Friday last, summoned before the
mayor, on information of John M'Comb, head constable of the
district. The latter stated, that he was passing the house, on
Tuesday last, when be saw an immense crowd in the yard as-
sembled to v,itness a pugilistic encounter. He requested the
landlord to part the combatants, but he refused, and set him
(the officer) at defiance, telling him he might do it himself if
he pleased, .but, for his part, he did not conceive that he was
answerable, and the officer might do his worst. His worship
the mayor reprehended this conduct of the defendant, and
stated, that he was determined to visit such disorderly proceed-
ings with the utmost severity. The defendant was then fined
in the full penalty of £5 and costs, which was immediately
paid.
SINGULAR THRFT.—A gentleman named Yates, stood for-
ward in the Police Court, on Saturday last, and charged a
young man, who appeared at the bar, with having stolen from
an "infirm gentleman," named Gardiner, in whose service the
prisoner had been, a very valuable and curious watch,—a new
invention of Mr. Gardiner's,—for which that gentleman was
about to obtain a patent. Mr. Gardiner, it seems, had just ar
rived at the successful termination of his labours on the ma-
chine, when it disappeared. The prisoner confessed that he
had taken the watch, bnt he had it not in hisi possession, nor
would he divulge the name of the person with whom he had de-
posited it. The prisoner was remanded.
A WhALTHY BEGGAR.—On Thursday last John M'Laughlin,
a cripple, who moves about in a bowl, in the costume of a cook,
was played before the Mayor on the chargeof having been found
soliciting alms in an attitude most persuasive. The mendicant
profession, it appears, is the only one which the prisoner has
pursued for sonic time past, and it would seem that he has had
a most flourishing practice. The constable Stated that, when ta-
ken to Britleurel!, there was fonend in his po:•ket the sum of £4
b 5.241. his worship ordered hint to be handed over to Mr. For-
ward.

YORK ML7SICAL FESTIVAL.--The receipts .nt this festival
amounted to £16,769. l Is. 6d. In addition to this amount, the
following donations have been received :—The Duchess of
Kent and the Princess Victoria, .ClOO ; Duke and Duchess of
Northumberland, £150; the Hon: W. Duuconibe, M.P., £5O;
Lord Radstock, 10s.; the Earl of Tyrcounel. £10; Geurge
Folliott, Esq., Chester, £5; John Paynter, Esq., (by Dr.
Wake,) £5. ss.

DISCOVERY OF THE BODY OF HENRY BAILEY, LATE CON.
STABLE OF CHEETHAIAL—Tbe remains of this man, who lost his
life in an attempt to save that of a little girl who had acciden-
tally fallen into the Irwell, were found ou Saturday, the 12th
instant, about a mile from Barton Bridge, and above six miles
from the place where the occident occurred. The body, from
having been six months in the river, was in such a state of de-
composition that every feature was completely destroyed. lt
was, however, identified by a shoemaker, who •ecognised his
own work on one of the shoes which Mr. Bailey wore at the
time he was drowned.
FIRST LORD OF THE ADMIRAT.TY.—The Earl of Mint, has
been appointed First Lord of the Admiralty, in the room of
Lord Auckland, who is about to proceed to India as Governor-
',General.

SEAMEN'S WaGEs.—A case of some importance to seamen,
was decided on Saturday, at the Thames police-office, London,
by Mr. Broderip the sitting magistrate. Captain Jackson was
summoned for the sum of five pounds, which John Shreeves,
young man, claimed as a balance due to him for his services on
board the eefendaut's vessel, The Four Brothers. The captain
considered he had no right to pay the amount, as he expended
that sum for medical attendance and board and lodging for the
lad at Milford Haven, where he met with an accident.—Mr.
Broderip said that the defendant could not deduct the turn—the
master being bound to provide the complainant with proper
nourishment and medical aid, if he fell sick or 'net with an acci-
dent while employed in his regular duties. The defendant
must pay the £5 with all costa.
MONUMENT TO THE MEMORY Op SIR JOHN Ma.Lcor.sr.—The
Carlisle Patriot of Saturday lust contains an interesting account
of the ceremony of laying the foundation stone of a monument,
to perpetuate the memory of that distinguished general, sche/ar
and statesman, Major-general Sir John Malcolm, K.G.C.B.
The site chosen for the monument is the most lofty hilt in the
v,iciuity of Langholtn. There was a grand masonic procession
formed at Langholm, at which Sir James Graham. as.provin-
cial grand master, attended; and, after an appropriate prayer
had been offered by the Ilev. W. B. Shaw of Laugholm, per-
formed the ceremony of laying the stone. On the return of the
procession at large party of gentlemen dined together under a
spacious tent in the yard of the Salutation Inn. Col. Charles
Psitle) presided •ao chairman, supported by Admiral Sir Pulte-
us, M xlcoltn, and General Sir James Malcolm of the
.11oy
Verities, the lirothors of the.lato Sir John Malcolm.

LONDON LATEST NOWS.

City, Saturday Evening, Hnlfipast Seven o'clock.

We have had arrivals to-day from Bombay to the 10th May,
Madras to the 26th April, from the Cape to the Gth July, and
from New York and St. Vincents. The commercial letters
from Bombay state, that from the interior there was a good
quantity of cotton come to market, and it was expected that the
quotations would be lower in consequence. Freights for Eng-
bind had advanced to £3 10s. to £4 per ton. British manufac-
tnres were in good demand. Bombay and Surat had suffered
severely by the prevalence of small pox.
By the last arrivals from Delhi, information was conveyed of
! the assassination of Mr. William Fraser, the Governor-General
and Commissioner there; and that the public-authorities had of-
fered a reward fur the discovery of the assassin. Gteat exer-
i tions had been made by the magistrates for this purpose, and
1 expectations were entertained that a native who had been ap-
prehended was the guilty person. A decision had been given
against him by the late cotninissiouer in a suit in whiCh several
Lacs of rupees were depending. The individual was one of Fyz
Mohamed Khan's people, and had held possession of some pro-
perty illegally, from which he was ejected by the decision of the
I late Mr. Fraser.

In consequence of the statement made by the Governor of the
Bank on Thursday, Bank Stock has suffered a rapid decline
from 2151 to 208; a reaction took place on Friday, and some
business was done at 209, 2094, and this day at 2104.

In the Foreign Stock Market a more than ordinary activity
has been displayed at the close of the week. Spanish Bonds
finally closed at 424 money, 42i for account, and Set ip has ad-
vanced to 173, discount. Portuguese New Bonds left off at the
improved price of 884 for the account, and the Three per Cents.
