convey it to the barn, at the bleach works of Mr. T. R.
Bridson, Little Bolton, the prop fell from beneath the hind
part of the cart ; and unfortunately a man, named John Hor-
rocks, fell from the top of the hay, and alighted with his
breast upon the prongs of a hay fork which stood erect. Be
was pierced to the heart, and died instantaneously.
THE NEW TARIFF.—The first importation ot horned
cattle under the new measure passed the London Custom..
house on Monday. It consisted of four bulls from Switzer-
land of the celebrated Dun breed, which is produced in that
country, and during the summer months is pastured upon
the lower acclivities of the mountains. They reached Lon-
don from Rotterdam, and had been brought down the whole
course of the Rhine. Their value was estimated (of course
for the purposes of the breeder) at about £BO per head.
As far as we can judge at present, the passing of the new
tariff bill seems to have removed a little of the gloom and
stagnation which have been felt in commercial affairs with so
much severity for the last two months, and we hope blisiness
will now proceed more steadily. The fine weather for the
harvest will help to restore confidence; andwe have no
danger of further impediments from legislative interference
till next year. The prices of the French funds do not rally
yet from the depression caused by the death of the Duke of
Orleans, but our market has ceased to be affected by this
cause, and we expect soon to see prices reach their old limit.

" How DO THE WATERS COME DOWN AT LoponE."—
In consequence of the late heavy rains, the mountain streams
in the neighbourhood of Keswick are " filled fra bank to
brae," and Lodore presents at this time a formidable and
most magnificent appearance. It comes down from the tre-
mendous precipice with the roar of thunder, and is distinctly
heard at a distance of many miles. Not a favourable day
passes without a crowd of tourists assembling to view this
magnificent waterfall in its grandeur. The Greta and other
rivers in the neighbourhood were much swollen ; and fears
were entertained that they would overflow their banks, and
lay the adjoining meadows under water.---Kendal Mercury.

Mr. WATSON was still of opinion that a summons which
was not sent through the post-office was not a legal service,
and as they were called together for a most important pur-
pose it was the more necessary they should be a legally con-
stituted meeting. He wished to know what the money—a
very large sum, £30,000, which they were called to sanction
the borrowing of—was for.

Mr. 1-11m.ijArt read the notice calling the present meeting,
which was to sanction the borrowing the sum of X 30,000 on
the rates and tolls of the ferry, and on the ra:ts culd property
of the township.
The CHAIRMAN said they had no knowledge legally before
them what the money was for. They knew privately that
it was All right, but 'still he was of UPinitinuffetryl-ditght to
have a statement legally laid before the board, before they
sanctioned the borrowing so large a sum.
Mr. HILLtArt said he had to inform "the board that no
tender had been sent in, and therefore there was no business
for the board to transact at the present meeting.
Mr. APPLEmos inquired if the proper means bad been
used to make it known that the money was wanted ?
Mr. HILLIAR said it had been advertised.
Mr. WATSON said he thought it extraordinary that Mr.
Mallaby, who had called the meeting, was not present, or
that he had not sent some information to the meeting on the
subject.

Mr. GREEN.—I beg leave to move that we do now ad-
journ, as we have no knowledge what this money is for.
Mr. WATSON seconded the motion, and he begged fur-
ther to state, that the act required fourteen commissioners
to be present, but as there was not that number in attend-
ance, it was not a legal meeting.
Mr. HILLIAR said all that was necessary to be done was
for the ehairman to declare that there was no meeting.
Mr. GREEN said he would not alter the terms of his mo-
tion. He simply moved that the meeting adjourn, and he
did not mea❑ to state any reason for that motion. He
should not qualify it.

,
Mr. WATSON would second it that they adjourn sine die.
A COMMISSIONER said he understood a copy of the Ferry
Bill was to be sent to each commissioner—that ought to be
done, but he bad not yet received one.
The CHAIRMAN said it would be done. He bad not yet
received a copy, and he understood only two copies had yet
been received.

Mr. HILMAR said a copy would be sent to each commis-
sioner as soen as a snfficient number were procured.
The CHAIRMAN then put Mr. Green's motion, which was
carried, and the commissioners separated.

THE BISHOPRIC OF JERUSALEM.

(From the Prussian State Gazette of July 12.)

BERLIN, JULY 11.--His Majesty has been pleased to ad-
dress to the minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs the following
orders in respect to the relations of the Bishop of the
United Church of England and Ireland in Jerusalem with
the German congregation of the evangelical religion in
Palestine :

" I send you herewith a letter from his Grace the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, Primate of England, which contains
the definitive proposals respecting the relations of the bishop
of the united church of England and Ireland in Jerusalem
with the German congregations of the evangelical religion in
Palestine, which are inclined to place themselves under the
jurisdiction of the latter. You will see from this letter that
the prelate secures to the congregations of the German Pro-
testant faith in Palestine the protection and pastoral care of
the English bishop at Jerusalem, without any other condi-
tions than such as the exercise of the protection itself re-
quires. The publication of these proposals will be the best
means to dispel the misunderstanding of some well-meaning
persons, and to render the misrepresentations and calumnies
of the evil-minded of no effect. Though there are at pre-
sent no German Protestant congregations in Palestine, but
the formation is still to be looked for under the influence of
favourable circumstances, yet young divines of the German
Protestant Church, whom the/ increasing interest in the la-
bours of the missions for the conversion of the Jews induces
to go to Palestine, will certainly think it desirable to avail
themselves of the offers contained in the letter of the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, to obtain a greater freedom of action
and a more successful result of their labours, by accepting
the protection and care of the Bishop of the United Church
of England and Ireland. I am very ready to support, in a
suitable manner, young divines of this kind, when they have
been examined and found duly qualified, and especially
proved themselves to he thoroughly grounded in the doc-
trines of the Protestant faith, according to the Augsburg
Confession, and I invite you to,point out to me any such
persons. FREDERICK WILLIAM.
" To the Minister of State, Eichhorn."

" Lambeth, June 18, 1842.
" Sire,—As it seems to me to. be desirable that your Ma-
jesty should be thoroughly acquainted with the relations in
which the German congregations in Palestine will stand with
respect to the Bishop of the United Church of England and
Ireland in Jerusalem, I take the liberty most respectfully to
submit the following proposals, which I hope will be agree-
able to your Majesty :
" The bishop will consider it as his duty to take under
his pastoral care and protection all the congregations of the
German Protestant faith which are within the limits of his
diocese, and are inclined to place themselves under his juris-
diction, and will afford them all the support in his power.
The German Liturgy,
which has been carefully examined by
me, which is taken from the liturgies received in the churches
of your Majesty's dominions, will be used in the celebration
of divine service by the clergyme.n who are appointed, on the
following principle :—Young divines, candidates for the pas-
toral office in the German Church, who have obtained your
Majesty's Royal permission to this end, will exhibit to the
bishop a certificate from some authority appointed by your
Majesty, in which their good conduct as well as their quali-
fication for the pastoral office is in every respect attested.
The bishop will, of course, take care, in the case of every
candidate so presented to him, to convince himself of his
qualifications for the especial duties of his office, of the purity
of his faith, and of his desire to receive ordination from the
hands of the bishop. As soon as the bishop has fully satis-
fied himself on these points he will ordain the candidate on
his subscribingsian, and, the three Creeds, the Apostles' the Nicene,
and the Athana
on his taking the oath, of obedience
to the bishop and his successor,
will give bim
permission to
exercise the functions of his office.
" ' With respect to the confirmation of young persons of
such congregations in Palestine, the clergyman of the con-
gregation will prepare them for that purpose in the usual
manner, will subject them to the requisite examination, and
profession of their faith. They will then be presented to the
bishop, who will confirm them according to the form of the.
Liturgy of the United Church of England and Ireland.
With the most profound respect, I have the honour to
remain, Sire, your Majesty s most sincere and humble ser-
vant, " W. CANTERBURY.
To His Majesty Frederick Silliam Iv.,
King of Prussia.'
