We learn from private information. on which we can rely, that the Channel Islands, soldiers, Jersey without and Guernsey, are thronged with French arms it is true, but still interlopers there without any ostensible object. We do not say how much isoportance ought to be attached to stance: but in the Islands themselves it is considered a circumso lar AS importance, that 200 families bave broken up their establishments and returned to England in consequence. Another circumstance which bas occurred in our own town, altbougb, perhaps, more trivial in itself, indicates the state of feeling in France upon the subject. The colony of egg-merchants, some of whom have resided here for the last twenty years, have thereby clearly indicating the ideas suddenly entertained by the decamped, class of persons in France with whom those persons are connected.

THE BRITISH QUEEN Steamer arrived here, from the River, on Tuesday, Sept. 1, and proceeded on her voyage, from the Motherbank, about 7 p.m. having been detained several bours beyond her time, in consequence of the passengers not arriving at Southampton, per railway, at the expected hour. She took out about 100 cabin passengers, of whom about 50 came from Southampton, including 20 from Havre, 950 packages of fine goods, and in specie, being the most valuable cargo she has ever taken out, besides many thousands of letters and newspapers. WRECK OF THE MARY beautiful gun baving been recovered, by Mr.

Abbwell, from the wreck of the Mary Rose, which was sunk at Spitbead about four centuries ago, we venture to recommend that some of the splendid pieces of brass ordnance recovered from this ship and the Royal George be placed on the Platform, or round the Green, on the Queen's required Bastion, for efficient without they interfering would with constitute the space where, guns, a memorial of bye-gone days, well worthy of the fame of this Arsenal, and which could not fail to interest visiters from every part of the empire. The melancholy interest attached to the ill-fated Royal George, and the livelier and more pleasing reminiscences of the exertions of the Eighth Henry to raise and improve his navy, must equally be points of common interest to every Briton from every part of the nation. We trust the Admiralty will see the desirableness of such a measure. THE GARRISON county members have given the accustomed donation of five pounds each, bnt the borough members being unusually generous, have abridged their usual donation to two pounds each. We understand that it is in contemplation among the committee to get up a donkey.race of extraordinary attraction, to run for the Borough Members' Plate," considering that a donation of so much munificence ought not to be degraded by any admixture with the ordinary donations.

The Benedicts took their inninge first, and at the finish of the two frat hands the bachelors were nine a-head; the (parties then retired te dinner.

The married 1e-commenced play at balf-past three o'clock, scoring in their second band 65 runs. The commencement of the bachelors' second hand was certainly very promising, the three first mates making 34 runs. The Old uns" were now awake, and being aware that the remaining seven bats were bard hittere, and with the exception of one or two, not very careful hands, exhibited their tact in the disposition of their Geld, and placed their party out most judiciously at this period 23 runs were left for the skill of the next seven wickets, but the alteration made in the field told most effectively against them, three catches were expeditiously made, one run out, one thrown out, and the derangement of the wickets of the sixth, concluded the match in favor of the married gentlemen by seven runs.

Blackfriars, London. SUSSET. CHICHESTER. SEPT.5. THE LATE LORD BISHOP OF CHICHESTER.

-In addition 10 the Biography we gave of this Right Rev. Prelate last week, we are now enabled to add the following. William Otter, fourth son of the Rev. Edward Otter, was born at his father's vicarage, Cuckney, Notts, on the 23rd of October, 1768. He was educated at Jesus College, Cambridge, and took the degree of in 1790, in the examination of which he attained the honour of fourth Wrangler, and became M.A.

in 1793. He was ordained to the curacy of Helstone, in Cornwall, from which place he was recalled into a residence at Jesus College, having been elected Fellow, and subsequently appointed Tutor. In 1804 he became Rector of Colmworth, in Bedfordshire, and the same year married Nancy Sadleir, eldest daughter of William Bruere, esq. formerly secretary to the Government, and Member of the supreme Court at Calcutta. After being removed successively to Chetwynd and Kinlet in Stropshire, he accepted in 1825 the ministry of St.

Mark's Church, Kensington, which last, he resigned in 1830, on being appointed Principal of King's College, London. In 1836, he took the degrees of B. and D.D. and was in October of that year consecrated Bishop of Chichester, The procession was met at the West entrance of the Cathedral, by about 60 of the Clergy of the Diocese, headed by the Dean, who commenced the beautiful and solemn service for the dead. The body was placed in the centre of the choir while the burial service was read.

The choral part of the service consisting of the portion of the Psalms appointed for the occasion, and Blake's beautiful anthem I have set God always before were well performed by the choir. The choir was hung with black and the Tradesmen generally throughout the City, partially closed their shops. The Right Rev. Prelate has gone down to the grave like a shock of wheat in the time of harvest. and his memory and his good works will long survive in the breasts of all who knew him.

He was man take him for all in all, We shall not look upon his like again, A very interesting meeting took place in the library of the Cathedral, immediately after the funeral of the late Bishop, the Dean of Chichester was called to the chair, and was supported by the Earl of Chichestel, Archdeacons Hane and Webber, the Canons Residentiary. and many of the clergy and laity, It was resolved unanimously that a durable monument should be erected which would testify to future generations, the respect and veneration felt throughout the Diocese, for the memory of the late excellent Bishop, who had given rise to fostered and perfected so many useful institutions, having for their objects the Glory of God, and the welfare of the Diocese at large. That the testimonial which the meeting believed to be most in unison with the feelings of the deceased would be one that would forward those objects; and that the education of the poor being the last great subject which occupied his arduous thoughts, it was further resolved that a training school should be erected by public subscription at Chichester, for the purpose of educating young men to act as masters of the differect parochial, national and other schools, throughout the country, and that such schools should for ever be called Bishop Otter's School." We are quite sure that ample funds will be raised to complete a testimonial which arises from such motives and is intended tofpromote such benevolent objects. The Duke of Richmond, and the Earl of March, returned to Gordon Castle on Monday week, from Glen Fiddich, where the sport, according to the accounts recaived, was not very good. Lord and Lady Grotton, Viscount Cantilupe, and a distinguished party have arrived on a visit to the Duke and Duchess.

Lord George Lennox, M. P. has left Lennox Lodge, Boynor, for the continent, Sir Thomas Baring, Bart, has we understand concluded the purchase of Oakwood, nearthis city, late the property of the Rev. George Porcher. Bryan Martyn, esq, the.

present tenant, intends giving early possession. Mr. Martyn has been, looking at San Colts, late the seat of C. Baker, esq, deceased, and some other residences in the neignbourhood, but has found them all too circumscribed for bis establishment, and we much fear Chichester will in consequence lose the benefit of this gentleman's patronage and support.

We noticed nearly all the leading families of Ryde and neighbourhood. Madame Persiani and Signor Rubini's singing was of the best kind, and was most rapturously applauded; they were ably assisted at the Pianoforte by Signor Nigri, and at the Corno Obligato by Signor Puzzi. BATTY's CIRCUS continues to attract very numerous and respectable audiences. We are at a loss on whom to bestow the most praise belonging to the company, all of whom give the greatest satisfaction; the whole being under the direction of that talented performer, Mr. Pablo-Fanque, of Astley's, London.

It is Mr. Batty's intention to remain in Ryde about a fortnight longer. On Sunday, the 23rd of August, two sermons were preached at St. Thomas's Church, in behalf of the funds of the Ryde National Schools, by the Rev. Charles Wodsworth, M.A.

Prebendary of St. Paul's Cathedral, Vicar of Hardingstone and Cotton, in the Diocese of Peterborough, and Chaplain to Lord Palmerston. The very elequent and able advocacy of the preacher elicited between and 501. We some time ago had the satisfaction of recording the liberal douation of an acre of freehold ground by George Player, esq. for a parochial burying place, in the immediate vicinity of this town.

On Friday last a vestry meeting was held in the parish chuich of Newchurch, for the purpose of considering the best means of carrying this important measure into effect. The Rev. Spencer Phillips, Vicar, in his opening address, stated to the vestry, that although on ordinary occasions of this sort the proceeding was generally by rate, yet, as there were some circumstances in the present case which night render such a method not the most desirable, he left it to the meeting to consider best plan to be adopted, in order to raise a sufficient sum for 'enclosing the ground, It was then determined, that as the matter was a local one, no general rate should be proposed, and the following resolution was unanimously adopted: That in the opinion of this meeting it is most desirable that the poor of the town of Ryde and its neighbourhood should be spared the expensive and distressing necessity of conveying their dead during all weathers over a distance of nearly six miles to the place of their interment at Newchurch, and it being most important (both for their sakes as well as for the great and obvious accommodation of the other inhabitants) that there should be a burlal place in the immediate vicinity of the town, the liberal offer by George Player, esq. of an acre of ground for this purpose be thankfully accepted, and that a committee be appointed to collect subscriptions for enclosing the ground, and for otherwise carrying the measure into effect. In the first edition of our report of the meeting, convened at the Town Hall by the Rev.

J. Spence, on Tuesday last week, (about the twentieth line from the bottom) instead of this scheme," it should read his school. We have heard the Rev. J. Spence feels somewhat aggrieved at the first part of our report respecting the disgraceful affair at Node Hill Chapel, on Sunday, the 23rd ult, in reply to which we say Plain truth must have plain words." Mr.

S. told us himself, at the Town Hall, that he was interrupted in the chapel by Mr. Gould's giving out the hymnThere is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign." whilst he was speaking to his congregation; and we had the remainder from sources we can rely on for veracity. NEWPORT, SEPT. 5.

IN the present state of religious and civil affairs, when every attempt is being made by the political dissenter to overthrow our National Church surrounded, indeed, as she is, on every side, by enemies of various characters, we rejoice that we enjoy fully and freely the Liberty of the Press," and are, through its medium, enabled -while her foes are saying Down with her, down with her, even to the ground to prove, from every-day experience, that Voluntaryism is a fallacythat there is no friend like an old friend," those who separate themselves from our Established Church being often either carried about with every wind of doctrine," or else deceived by the sleight and cunning craftiness of wicked whilst the Church of England -attacked as she may be by every species of obloquy--is the bulwark of sound doctrines, and the sanctuary of Scriptural piety. She aims not at the appetite for novelty, neither does she wish to gratify itching ears;" and while the world is constantly raving for some new-fangled doctrine," or desiring their eyes to be dazzled and their ears gratified by some fine minister-" having men's persons in admiration because of advantage!" she is with unbending firmness "contending for the faith once delivered to the saints," and earnestly and energetically imploring her children to 46 hold fast that which is At such a time, then, as the present, and under such circumstances, (to adopt an opinion of Osler) do away with a National Church in Great Britain- let our country have no established religion at all--let society in England be sub-divided into the following stiange medley of the different sects: Quaker, Calvinist, Baptist, Wesleyan Methodist, Sociaian, Irvingite, Primitive Methodist, Unitarian, Brianite, Roman Catholic, Socialist, one sect being under the fosof government; while others may be at full tering care liberty to declare themselves without the pale of any sect, and would. thereby not be compelled to support any that the thus parcelled out into community professing to worship God, -we should soon find were country these varied systems of religion, or of infidelity, "which may soothe the consciences most or please widely the prevalent tastes of at all; for, when left of their respective votaries," the to sect will be that no religion its own free choice, corrupt nature will in too trammels of many cases speedily throw off altogether the religion, its worship, its restraints, and its prevailing expense: deand we shall soon have Atheism as the nomination among we us. have only proof to refer our readers In of the reasonableness to of our assertion, the present religious destitution and consequent wretched ness of a neighbouring country, where the voluotary principle is now in full working. We have introduction beeninduced to make these few observasions by way of to the remainder of the report of a Public Meeting convened by the Rev.

J. Spence, at the Guildhall, in this town, -and the whole of which report we promised ID our last publication, but our parcel unavoidably arrived late in the week, and the following was obliged to stand over THE LATE DISREPUTABLE AFFAIR RESPECTING HILL CHAPEL. Continued from last week.) The document sent to the Rev. J. Spence by the deseons, and enclosing the names of 109 whom they said persons, were dissalisfed witb him as their minister, stated there was a decrease in the members of the chapel, occasioned by his being unacceptable as a preacher," He went to the first person on the list, and asked Messrs.

Rice, Lankester, and others. Name, name," sundry voices Hold your tongue, Spring Rice," Turn Lankester He would name- Mrs. Essex. He asked her (referring to letter) if she was not satisfied with his preaching? She the replied in the affirmative, and said she had no sleep ever since she had signed that letter but certain individuals had been to her, requesting that she should do so, stating that it was for his (Mr. good, He went to other persons, and it had been represented to them that Messrs.

Lankester and Pinhorn were men of great influence, and they could increase his school if he would resign his pulpit. He was also prepared to prove that many of the persons whose names were affixed to that letter never signed it (At this moment another terrible broil ensued. Amidst immense shouting, stamping, and clapping, Mr. Lankester jumped up and wished to ask the speaker a question, and was un. derstood to enquire if Mr.

Spence did not preach away his congregation before he came here? but the clamour was so great he could not proceed, Here other persons attempted to speak, and there was a general cry of order," close and an attempt made by the females to the out of the hall.) Mr. Spence said Mr. Lankester was rush not a member of the chapel, and if the peace of the meeling continued to be disturbed, he would speak to the police officers, who were in the room, to keep order. Mr. L.

said if he was not 3 member he was a trustee, and he (Mr. $.) had no power to put him into coop." This tumult having somewhat subsided, Mr. Whittington attempted to make a remark, and was proceeding without much interruption, when Mr. Lankester was again on his I cannot endure this -it is worse than the Spanish inquisition, 1 demand to ask 3 question as an Englishman's right, and will stand here all night rather than not be heard. Mr.

Spence has made a false statement. He preached away his congregation at Aberdeen, and he has preached to eight people only in Newport. I am afraid of no man, woman, or child in the town. I wili be heard." (Sundry a lie, Lankester You're a great man, no doubt and What man, woman, or child, do you think, cares for 66 Order being now restored, Mr. Spence resumed To prepare the minds of the people against him, it had been induatriously circulated he had preached away two congregations before he eame here, The rev.

gentleman then gave a lengthened statement of his connections with the chapel at Aberdeen, and read many interesting and satisfactory documents, by which it appeared that he had been pastor of that congregation fourteen years, and the church had greatly increased during his ministry; he also read a letter signed by all the deacons, inviting him to resume his pastoral duties again at that church. From Aberdeen he went to Ireland, and after doing duty in Cork some time, he voluntarily resigned his charge. He had experienced the greatest kindness from the congregation there also, and after he left they presented to him the handsome sum of 1407. stating they could not suffer him to retire without shewing some token of the value of his ministry." He then asked Mr. Lankester to produce his proofs that he had preached away his congregation? Mr.

Lankester said, That is my private opinion!" Is not the church at Aberdeen new broken up If you were so much liked, why did you not stop there? wish had -(great laughter.) (A conversation here ensued Mr. Spence and Messrs. from which Lankester and Rice, it appeared that they had offered him a certain sum to give up his situation here, with which he was dissatisfied, and upon being pressed to name some he which they would not give, and intended demanded amount, to sell the chapel to get rid of him. When Mr. Spence spoke of the 5007.

Messrs. Laakester and Rice smiled contemptuously -the former saying, with a sneer, Five hundred pounds, indeed They may laugh, He had made that offer not for the paltry sum of 5007, but to convince them they could not turn him out. He was educated for the Es. tablished Church, and if his object was filthy lucre, he could attain that object by going into the establishment. Mr.

Spence then spoke of the declining state of their church, remarking that only one out of those who had been united to them during the last thirty years had publicly joined in prayer. He wrote to the deacons on the subject, expressing 8 wish that certain seasons should be set apart for public prayer and fasting, but they declined his proposals: and letter, bearing the names of parties who were not members, summoned him before them; of course he did not attend to their mandate. After that time vestry meetings were held, deacons elected, and other business was transacted without his knowledge. Things were now in such a state that he wrote a letter to the deacons proposing that Dr. Morrison, of London, and the Revs.

Mesars, Adkins, of Southampton, Reynolds, of Romsey, and Ford, of Lymington, should form a committee to enquire into the state of the affairs of their church, stating his willingness to resign if those minis. ters co: ridered him at fault. And such a meeting took place on the -ubject which it was impossible for him to describe, It was atated that the ministers would give just such a decision as he wanted- -other ministers had no right to adjudicate for them -they did not want them -they were not going to give the power out of their own hands-aad if they had ministers, he Mr. would not abide by their decision it was also insinuated the tru.tees had power to lock the chapel doors to prevent his preaching, and they could stop his salary. He replied, if he could not have justice in that way, he should be forced to go before the world.

Mr. Spence then remarked on some -corner meetings at Mr. Rice's office, and other places, during which remarks Mr. R. sapposed an observation Mr.

S. had made about treading on a worm," alluded to himself, and begged him to retract the expression -at the same time explaining that all the party Mr. S. had caught at his office met there accidentally' -(laughter). We are now obliged to bring our report to 8 conclusion.

It appeared there were many private meetings held afterwards, and some rare specimens of lying and hypocrisy penned in the shape of resolutions, and letters to different individuals -and, be it remembered, these meetings were all stated to have been begun in prayer! One of these communications was sent to Dr. Morrison (after they had refused to call him and other ministers in to decide their dispute), complaining that Mr. Spence's unpleasant and uncourteous manner prevented their having any further communications with him officially," and insinuating that the members wished him to leave. It appeared, also, some of the people were dissatisfied with his preaching extempore; he then read his sermons, and Mr. Gould told him the people were delighted with his new arrangementbut added, Don't notice that I said so." Mr.

Lankester remarked, that system was not much liked, Mr. Spence replied, he knew there were some people who would not be pleased -(hear, hear). Mr. Spence then spoke of his salary, saying he had never received the amount stipulated for on his engagement but he had not complained, or even mentioned the fact up to the present time, He then remarked on the trust deeds of the chapel; he had but lately seen the deeds, and from them he learned that the trustees had such a power and rule in the church which was not at all in accordance with his principles, and had he before known what he then did, he should never have come amongst them, After speaking of the willingness always evinced on the part of his congregation to subscribe to religious and charitable objects, and of the kindness he had experienced from many of them, he referred to the Interruption at Node Hill Chapel on the preceding Sunday, and concluded by observing he believed most of the calamities which had arisen in their chapel were produced by the continualstruggle between parties for power. (The reverend gentleman sat down amidst great shouts of applause, which lasted for some time.) Mr.

Lankester then addressed the meeting, observing the candour Mr. Spence had displayed that evening had quite overpowered and disarmed him; he had written a speech occupying eight or ten sheets, which he must now destroy, At the same time, he hoped they would give him credit for being candid also. When Mr. Spence first came into the town, he told him plainly there was great opposition to his being their minister. He blamed him for thus publicly exposing the affairs of their chapel, and said he would quote passage from the 18th chapter of St.

Matthew If thy brother offend thee (Here the hall resounded with shouts, such as "Sit down, Father Matthew," quote Scripture," Turn him out," As many of the friends did not like quotations from the Bible, he would not give them. It would have been better if Mr. Spence had held that meeting at the chapel -he could have done so if he chose. Mr. Spence explained; he had intended to have done so, but was prevented by Mr.

Gould in giving out the notice on Sunday it was their intention to prevent him from holding the meeting there, and he knew of no other better place to seek redresa than in this hall of justice, (Great cheering.) Here Mr. Lankester attempted to make some other ob. servations about the people of Newport being fond of effer. vescence, but from the great confusion in all parts of the Hall, he could not be heard, and Mr. Rice advised him to sit down.

The Rev. J. Spence then tendered his resignation as Minister of Node Hill Chapel, (which was accepted by Mr. Saunders, one of the deacons,) and after making a remark respecting a legacy left by the late Miss Stagg, for the benefit of the poor, he observed he had taken his gown from the chapel, and hoped they would not charge him with stealing it, as he was told some parties did his predecessor, Mr. Bist.

because they must remember his was presanted to him Mrs. Jackson, a lady for whom he entertained the highes. esteem (great laughter and cheers). A gentleman in the gallery here inquired if they wished to publish the proceedings of the evening, as he was con. nected with the Times newspaper.

Mr. Spence said parties may do as they please -the present was the only way he had of doing justice to himself; the proceedings would never come from him: and he should be ready to tender the most ample apology, if he had inad. vertently made use of any observation which was not correct. Some parties contended he should never have brought the affairs of their chapel before the public; whilst others said it was quite right such dirty proceedings should be exposedif it had been a church job" there would have been no question about the till at last there was a general cry that it be published in all the papers -with sundry die rections such as Set Rice's speech Don't forget Lankester," The Hall now exhibited a scene of the greatest confusion, and the meeting broke up. It being generally supposed that the meeting called by the deacons the next night (Wednesday), at Node Hill Chapel, would be public, and a rumor getting about that they intended to disprove many of the statements made by the Rev.

J. Spence the preceding night, we, in common with other persons, attended at the appointed place; but found the chapel closed -save the vestry-door, where the select" only were admitted. One of the trustees, however, came out, and assured us it was a private meeting! A day or two after, ve received from him the following Node Hill Chapel, Wednesday, August 26th, was unanimously agreed that the Rev. J. Spence's resignation be accepted.

Resolved, That it is the opinion of this meeting, that nothing could have warranted the Rev. J. Spence's leaving the pulpit, after preaching 8 funeral sermon for an aged member last Sabbath evening, without either offering up the concluding prayer, or pronouncing the benediction and further, that he could not be warranted in printing bills, calling a public meeting at the Town Hall, (as he had not been refused the use of the chapel) and expesing the private affairs of the Christian church and congregation over which he had presided. Resolved, -That the above be entered on the church books." We cannot suffer ourselves to conclude the report of this shameful proceeding without giving an extract or two from the works of celebrated who have delineated in their Dissenting Ministers, Dissent, and the necessity we own have for pages an a picture Established of National Religion, which we shall not easily forget. In a volume entitled Christian Fellowship," by the Rev.

J. A. James, an Independent Minister, we believe, we find the following weighty and appropriate passages scattered about in some half-dozen pages bis When 8 minister is removed, the choice of a successor always brings on a crisis in the history of our church. No event that could happen can place the interests of the society in greater peril! The feeling of too many of our members may be thus summarily expressed I will have my way." Such a spirit is the source of all the evils to which our churches are ever exposed, and of which, it must be confessed, they are but too frequently the miserable victims! Distraction and division of churches have frequently resulted from the election of ministers. At this perilous crisis secret canvassing, cabals, intrigues, and the most disgusting exercise of the most disgusting tyranny between opposing parties, take place.

If the two parties cannot unite in peace, let them at least separate in peace. Alas! that this should so rarely be the case! Divisions in our churches produce incalculable mischief: since they not only prevent the growth of religion, but impair and destroy it. Sometimes the majority yields to the minority! In some cases a division is necessary, and the minority separate, and then how much ill. will and un-Christian feeling -what and jealousies and evil-speakings commence and envies We have been accused of wrangling about continue! till we have lost our religion in the teacher of religion affray and the state of many of our congregations proves that the charge is not altogether without foundation." Nor does this same minister forget to tell us the character of of the Lord Deacons (as he terms many them) of dissenting meeting houses. In speaking of deacons, he kindness and assistance a cloak for Some deacons their or a silken web to wind round the fetters own tyranny, for the slavery of their pastor! For they are preparing what is the deacon of some of our dissenting communities? The patron of the living, the Bible of the minister, and the wolf of the dock! an individual who, thrusting himself into the seat of government, attempts to lord it over God's beritage, by dictating alike to the pastor and the members who thinks, that is virtue of his office, his opinion is to be law in all matters of church government, whether tem.

poral or spiritual; who, upon the least symptom of opposition to his will, frowns like a tyrant upon the spirit of rising rebellion among his slaves! Such men there have been, whose spirit of domination in the church has produced a kind of diaconophobia in the minds of many ministers, who have suffered most wofully from their bite, and have been led to resolve to do without them altogether, rather than be worried any Dr. John Owen, the celebrated Republican Dean of Christchurch, and in whose name Dissenters glory, in one of his sermons before the rebel Parliament" of 1652, thus expressed think, if you were well settled, you ought not, rulers of the nation, to put forth your power for the interest of Christ, The good Lord keep your hearts from that apprehension! If it once comes to this, that you shall say, you have nothing to do with religion as rulers of the nation, God will quickly manifest that he hath nothing to do with you as rulers of the nation, Certainly it is incumbent on you to take care that the faith, which was once delivered to the saints, in all the necessary concernmenta of it, may be protected, preserved, propagated to, and among the people, over which God hath set you DISSENTERS! LOVERS OF VOLUNTARISM HATERS OP OUR ESTABLISHED CHURCH! Read mark! learn and iowardly digest BRITISH AND FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY. The Anniversary of the Isle of Wight Ladies' Branch of this Society was held at our Town Hall, 00 Wednesday evening. The Rev. A.

Hewitt being unanimously called to the chair, made 3 few introductory remarks, and called on the Mr. Giles to read the report, which was a very inteRev. resting one, The Rev. Mr. Harland proposed that the report be adopted, which was seconded by the Rev.

J. Maude, William Brackenbury, esq. one of the secretaries of the parent society, then read the first resolution. He spoke of the present prosperous state of their society, and the unison between their's and the Tract, Missionary, and other religious societies, which was great encouragement for them to continue in their labor of love, till they had supplied the whole family of man with the pure Word of God. He then referred to the inroads socialism was making in society, and called on all Christians to be united in their efforts for the Church of Christ.

After observing on the great thirst there is in Wales for biblical knowledge, he spoke of Ireland. There was no lot of people in the world Englishmen ought to respect more than the poor Irish -they had followed us even to the cannon's mouth, for our protection and we had not forgotten them schools had been supplied, and between 60,000 and 70,000 copies of the Holy Scriptures had been distributed in Ireland; in fact, they had never denied to Ireland one bible or testament which she has asked for. He related one or two anecdotes illustrative of the Irishman's open and generous character, and spoke of the increased demands there for the bible, as well as at France, Belgium, Spain, and other European countries, He then spoke of the Jews; from all quarters they had most extraordinary news about this interesting body of people. It is asserted there is scarcely a Jewish family in Prussia but what has one or two members of that family baptized, They also hear that Jews in every quarter of the globe are on to return to their own land and it is generally believed among them that this is the year in which our Saviour will come and dwell on the earth, and if he does not, many of them have inade up their minds to come to the conclusion that they have been deceived. He then referred to the islands of the seas, particularly mentioning New Zealand and after speaking of Canada and the Indies, he animadverted some length on the horrors of slavery, still existing in Africa: and the efforts that are now being used to release that unhappy divi.

sion of our earth from the state of misery under which it now exists. We have not room to follow the learned gentleman in all his details of the cruelties indicted on this wretched people -it will suffice us to say; that half. a-million of the population of Africa are annually either enslaved or murdered, The Rev. J. Spence seconded the resolution in an appropriate speech, The Rev.

Mr. Giles proposed votes of thanks to the Mayor, for his kindness in granting the use of the hall; to the Rev. A. Hewitt, as chairman and to W. Brackenbury, esq.

for the interesting details he had given them of the progress of their soeiety, which propositions were seconded by J. Eldridge, esq. and the meeting was then dis. solved. Lord Worsley and family have arrived at Saint Lawrence Cottage, Undercliff.

On Sunday last, a most impressive sermon was preached at Shanklin Church, by the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Jamaica, in aid of a subscription for increased accommodation in that church. The church was crowded to excess, and a handsome collection of 30l. and upwards was made at the door. FORGERY. Mr.

The case of Captain Henry Adama, of the Dart steamer for running down a fishing-boat off Cowes, which has excited so much interest, came on this morning for hearing, when the court (which is a very large one) was nearly billed.

Mr. Thomas Cook on the bench. Mr. Hearne (son of the town- clerk of Newport) conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Hoskins, of Gosport, the defence.

From the examination of the witnesses (of whom Mr. Moucher, of High-street, West Cowes, was the chief) It appeared, that about three o'clock in the afternoon of the lib of August last, the steamer, Dart, which belongs to the Brighton Steam Navigation Company, was on her passage from London to Brighten; when off Norris Castle abe ran down a fishing-boat, in which were four persons, of the names of Linington, Flux, Hamerton, and Brown, the former of whom was drowned. The steamer, it was stated. was proceeding towards Cowes, and when near Castle Point (where the boat was at anchor) the witness above alluded to exclaimed That is the Brighton steamer, and I am afraid that she will be on the boat," and in a few minutes afterwards the steamer's paddle struck the boat in which the four persons were, which immediately went to pieces. Three were saved, by great exertions, but the fourth was lost.

To a question put by the learned Chairman to Mr. Moucher, as to the position of the steamer, he said be thought there was plenty of room for her to have cleared the boat. He did not hear any one call out in the steamer to keep off, although there were a great many persons on board, at which time they were in seven or eight fathoms of water, the young flood just coming up. It was admitted by the witnesses that every attention WAS paid to the sufferers by the Captain and company of the vessel. A gentleman of the name of Black, who was on board at the time, proved that the captain (Adams) was steering the vessel, and had the command of her that day.

Mr. Hoskins, on behalf of his cilent, said he could assure the court that none felt greater sorrow than the captain did for what had occurred, but that it was purely accidental. With were respect to the company to whom the ateamer belonged, they anxious for the most vigilant inquiry, in order that the public might be satisfied that no blame attached to their officers. The Chairman -This Is a case in which the public must be fully satisfed that there has been no negligence on the part of the commander of the vessel, and therefore I think it a fit case to go to the General Quarter Sessions, when the evidence will be fully gone into, and where I am certain justice will be done to all parties. I will not say whether due vigilance had been used on the part of the captain.

The body of the poor lad has not been found, and consequently no inquest has been beld, but there has been sufficient evidence produced before me to show that this is a charge which calls for the most searching investigation. The prisoner must therefore find bail to answer the same at the sessionshimself in and two sureties in 204. each. Two of the captain's friends in court immediately became responsible for his appearance, and he was liberated until the 26th of October next, when the Anal hearing will take place at the Town-ball, Newport.

FARNHAM, hop plantations have not looked 30 bad since the year 1823, and bets are now made that the parish will not produce I cwt. per acre; in fact, 80 dreary is the appearance to a traveller passing through the parish, that scarcely a hop would attract his notice, nor remind him he was in so celebrated a plantation. The very best town grounds are not likely to grow more than 2 cwt.

per acre, while scores of acres together in other parts of the parish Il not have a basket put into them: and yet there are some spots of inferior land at Compton, Tilford in the Born, and little pieces inclosed on the common, which wil grow from 5 cwt. to 10 cat. per acre. These are the inferior sort of hops, and are excluded from the Farnham- row, at Weyhill, where are sold the fine white bine hops only. The Farnham district paid, last year, nearly duty.

The duty for the present crop is estimated at and inost people are against even that amount. A few pockets of the growth of 1838 have lately changed hands at 10 guineas per and high prices may be reckoned on for the few fine samples that may be pro. duced at Wey-hill this year. MR. L.
