Letters dated the 15th of August were received yes-

the (;overumeat. It was supposed he had been de
meted in carrying on secret pondence with the
north, with a view to revolutionise that quarter.
By the following notice yesterday, at Lloyd's,
it would appear that our Governmeat has at last
afforded some protection to our merchants' cons-
mem in the West Indies :—" His Majesty's ship Tyne,
and a frigate, Isavieg cagier convoy twenty sail from
Jamaica, pet into Gamine on the 16th of August."
The "Secret Service" on which his Majesty's ships
Medway end Southampton sailed the latter end of last
month, from Portsmouth, is believed to be no other
than the estirmination of the Pirates at Cape St. An-
toci°, and that they are empowered to take possession
of dl places which have become the haunts of those
freebooters in that quarter. The last time this subject
was brought before the House of Commons, it was
stated that negoeiations were pending with Spain with
a view to suppress effectually those disgraceful and
horrible depredations. It is now understood that the
negociations have been attended with the wished for
'mew so much so, indeed, that the Spanish Consti-
tshooal Government has permitted us to take such
steps in any part of the territory or possessions over
whirh it still shims sovereignty, as may be necessary
for the protection of our commerce. It is also said that
Sir William Acoort's mission to Madrid, and the friend-
chip between the two Courts which it indicates, are sot
stwoooected with the foregoing concession. 111 that
ease, it remains to be seen what arrangement has been
wade with Spain respecting the recognition of South
American Independence ; for blinisters certainly gave
Parliament to understand that this most important sub-
ject was included in the negociations already noticed.
YORTsitucTil, OCT. 7.—Yesterelay arrived his Ma.
its ten chip Genres, of 84 guns, and Trapeze, 46 guns,
Captain Itieleardsoo, from the East Indies. Captain
F. A. Collier brought the Ganges to England ; she
was frailt at Bombay, and has brought home the
flame wurk of two other ships, and between her and
the Topes 450,000 dollars. Transports were taken
op to brill home the 65th regiment from India, and
the regiment may be shortly expected, as also the
11. h regiment.
We noderstaod that Rear-Admiral Sir Benjamin
Ilateofteil, E.C.8., is about shortly to proceed on a
'foie in the Glocester, 74, which ship has been nen-
',rimed on the plan of Sir Robert Seppings, of the
!idly Board, with a r-nod stern. Her compliment
ail be increased to 400 men, by taking the crew of
ntegnarel-ships, and by marines from head-quarters.
The object of the Lords of the Admiralty, in mending
the Glocester to sea at this season of the year, is to as-
terrain, in severe weather, what advantages are to be
derived from the peculiar manner of building ships on
this principle.—(llensprAire Citywide.)
Ma. JUSTICI Pass,—(From the iftridatterer Gerard.
taa.)—We rnentiqued, cursorily, in our paperer the 14th
u1t.11.1, the laying of the foundation stone of a new Act
el a'arliameat Church at Preston, by Mr. Justice Park,
the Recorder of the borough. We did not then notice
4hy portion of the speech which the learned Judge utter-
ed us the occasion ; bat shall now insert a few ,rel-
ates of it, as preliminary to an exposition of its caporal-
Med humbug:—" I am extremely happy that it was in
the power of my son to give a site for one of them (the
thatches) upon his estate, the foundation of which has,
by the blessing of Almighty God, now been laid: but I
eta still more happy that be has bad the inclination to
bestow this portion of his property, on which to found a
Leese fur time due worship of Gal; and, I hope, for spi-
titaal comfort and edification of his fellow-townsmen.
Ventlemea, it has been the wisdom of pions men, who,
hare bad the means, In all ages of the Christian church,
to appropriate a part of their substance to build tem-1
Iles where God might be fitly and decorously wor.
shipped; thasbespeaking a reverend remembrance of his
Lune, and a laudable desire to make his praise glorious.
Every effort, therefore, of societies of men—every OW-
ens or benevolent deed of individuals for establishing
or extending the church on earth—is a co-operation with
the rilamielaty in promoting the accomplishment of par-
poses, which must ever have been the object of hie gra-
cious attention from the foundation of the world. How
gratifying is the thought to a pious breast of being ' a
worker together with God !' " No one, of course, could
doubt 51r. Justice Park's happiness at his son's posses-
sion of an " estate I" bat the pretences put forth in the
preceding extract make it proper that the real eircum-
stantes under which a portion of that estate has been de-
voted to " pious uses" should be made known. It ap-
pears, thee, that such is " the wisdom of pious men"
at Preston, that there was actually a contention between
Mr. Justice Park's son and Mr. J. Pedder, the banker,
which should frier the land whereon to build the

their substance" to this purpose. In mot of fact, it is
awned, that private influence was used to induce the
Lemeduioners to take Mr. Park's land. in preference to
that which was offered by hi r. Pedder. Now for the ob-
i'vt of this " co-operation with the Almighty." Mr.
Park asel Mr. Jame' Pedder have both land which has
hell for years advertised to be disposed of for Wither/
°Poo, without obtaining any customers; and it was a
Portion of this unsaleable building land which each

4t!, and its value greatly enhanced by the proximity
