Remarkable religious increment in Ben
gal In the London Missionary Register
for June, received by the Great Western,
we find a highly interesting account of a
religious awakening among the Hindoos in
the vicinity of Kishnaghur, one of the sta
tons of the Church Missionary Society on
the Jelinga, branch Of the Hoogly. about
70 miles north of Calcutta. II seems that
10 SIS villages, extending for 60 miles along
the Jelinga, TO the NJ E. and s. w. Of
Kishnaghur, more than 1900 Hindoos have
throw away their idols within few months
and expressed desire to be admitted into
the Christian Church. The movement
bears strong resemblance to that witness

FIRE AT BRUNSWICK. Our citizens
were called together, about one o'clock this
afternoon, by the cry Of fire, which proved
TO be on Mill street. Two two storied
dwelling houses, situated near tho upper
falls, owned by Col. A. j. Stone, and oc-
cupied by several tenants, were destroyed
before the fire could be subdued. When
first discovered, the fire was on the roof Of
one of the buildings, and it is supposed.
originated from spark falling from the
chimney, and had made such progress be-
fore the arrival of the engines and ladders,
that it was impossible to save either Of tho
buildings destroyed. There was but li.tls
wind at the time, and the buildings were
within few feet of the river, had ii been
otherwise, several other houses, situated
within two or three feet of those destroyed,
must have also been consumed.

The above precious confession, we copy

Is it not little remarkable, that this Ian.
guagc, which the Democrat now so justly
uses, is but a repetition of Wing senti-
ment' Nothing can be more true than
that the Wings, to a man, both IN and out
of the Legislature, nobly threw aside ey-
cry party prejudice, and unanimously join
ed, heart and hand, in the support of Gov.
Fairfield and the great State and national
question, of the disputed Territory. p
We do not pretend to say that there was no
difference Of opinion, as to the manner of
sustaining our rights. Undoubtedly there
was-but il was an honest difference, hon
es,ly expressed, and promptly yielded to the
views of the majority, and there dropped.
The policy of the Wings was to secure our
rights, peaceably if posslble-by force if
we must.

Governor wished for aid in driving off the
trespassers, the Wings were among the

Steam Navigation bet,ceen ENGLAND and
Boston. A large and highly respectable
meeting of Merchants and others interest
ed in the subiec, of the proposed steam
communication between England and Bos-
ton, was held in that city on Friday after
noon. The main business of the meeting
was to consider proposition made by Mr.
Cunard, who is the contractor, for running
the steamboats, from England, touching at
Halifax, 10 some port IN the United States
Mr.. G., II appears, az we learn from a re-
port OF the proceedings in the Boston Ad-
vertiser, is willing to establish that port as
the terminus for the vessels, on condition
that, by twenty years contract, wharf
and dock suitable for his accommodation,
should be provided by the gentlemen inter-
ested there, free of expense to him, they
being privileged, however, to charge the
owners of goods for Wharfage and storage.

ed Mr.. G. by merchants in New York. II
was stated that he was ready to leave the
situation Of the wharf to be decided 10y the
convenience of the citizens. 1t was pro-
posed that the requisite fund should be rails
ed under the charter of the Ocean Naviga-
ton Company, granted by the Legislature
al its las, session. This Company is not
yet organized and as all the necessary pow
ers for procuring n wharf and making ar
engagements with Mr. Cunard could be OBJ
tanned by its charter, the most convene Mt
way of making these arrangements seem

act of corporation. The whole subject,
however, was left to a committee appointed
at a previous meeting, which was enlarged

EXTRACT
From late Petition to her Majesty and the
Houses of Parli0ment.

Houses of Parliament.
"Hunlby sheweth--That a doctrine is
and long has been incnlcated on many OF
her Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects,
according TO which, all Christians not be-
ing members Of the Church Of Rome are
necessarily devoted 10 eternal torrents in
the world to come, and this merely IS in
consequence of their not being members of
that church, and in despite OF their faith in
Jesus Christ, and conformity to the precepts
Of His Gospel.
That your petitioners have no hesitation
in designating this doctrine as blasphemons,
and as necessarily rendering the holder
thereof dsloyal subject of a Protestant
sovereign, an unsafe member of a Protes-
rant state, and incapable of preserving the
due relations of fellowship with Protestants
and they are convinced that to the prev
alence of this doctrine alone, many of the
most serious evils of Ireland may be a,tri-
buted.
Your petitioners, thei efore most respect
fully submit to your--&c.-the neces-
sity of instlulng an inquiry, as to whether
or by whom the doctrine aforesaid is incul-
Gated on her Roman Catholic subjects, or
any Of them. And they further submit,
that the promulgators, under whatsoever
authority or principles, impious in the sight
OF God, and detrimental to the state, ought
TO be rendered amenable to punishment aJe-
quate to their offence.
And your petitioners viii ever pray"

the greatest lion now in London, | should
say unhesitatingly, Daniel Webster. He
is feted aud dined without intermission.
Artists are besetting him to sit for his pic
ture, phrenologists are crowdng to get
sight OF his wonderful cerebral develope-
ments. Daniel Webster is one of those
men who carry the stamp of greatness, ua-
equivocaly, upon their blows. No one
can see him, and doubt his intellectual pre-
eminence. | have perceived that in the
manner of most of the Americans whom |
have encountered in society here there was
all obvious constrant of manner, an as
sumption of dignity, and a constant appre-
hension lest, by some solecism, they should
do discredit to their country, or betray their
ignorance. How different the demeanor OF
Webster! With what an unconstrained
consciousness of equality and what manly
simplicity and ease, does he mingle among
the first titled dignitaries of our land! Talk
of the aristocracy of birth and the graces of
hereditary gentRity-how paltry and UNI
grounded do they seem by the side of such
aristocracy as Webster 's-the aristocracy
of talent and the graces Of conscious pow
err We are all expecting, with interest, to
hear a specimen of Mr.. Webster's oratory,
and an opportunity will soon be presented,
in the public dinner to be given him by your
countrymen, in London, for his display.
