¦ gjjfc ihe devil never more dangerous or ugly than jl ^ ie puts on the garb of righteoHsness and ap-^^ ss as &q angeL And hence we deem this the ^ \ ggi time , when the whole press teems ^ ftis strike among the Scottish parsons ; i pieij the "Whig , dissenting , and middle-class ^ d jne o especially , are lauding to the Tery echo te cevotedness and patriotism of the new eeceders , ^ 5 ^ the whole matter in a rery Bhort compass ^ j ^ our readers ; thai they may know how to ^ jjj ^ e the ** sablime moral spectacle which ffell win admiratioa whOe it excites
rever-55 ; e whole matter of contention arises , in the &s 5 instate , out of a question of patronage ; than vjjjj few ihings hare cansed more bickering and ^ gaijHO in the church , ijjje advocates of patronage , or the right of an i jfl rldnal , under given circumstances , to present a Is ^ ce to a dnly qualified perBon , argne thus : — » If i m&nbaild and endow a church , it is surely jjajore than jost that he should choose the minister iBi ii would be a gross fraud on his just rights to T a : ce should hare no control oTer that which he v ^ sg if cad bnilt and given . Now there is someja ihis
^ argument , plausible at first Eight , but pj ^ ordint with the free spirit of Christianity when pjje nearly examined . When building * nd enjg ^ jjg ihe Church , the donor is supposed to be ^ jjjjed , and-claims credit for being actuated , by prjlj p . ou = acd benevolent motives ; it is a free h 6 » ibe g * < ory of God and the good of man . But , jj ; xeiaists the neht of patronage , he , in fact , ^ jsii t he gift * and s : m claims for his own that \ jj ^ jji fcae passed from his possession entirely . Tell | jg D 0 ; thiJ he has a right to attach conditions to ! uj eft . He has so ; but the condition ? must be ^ 5 . He ha = no right to attach contradictory con' caeS j and then to insist * n the fulfilment of the -. by which liis own interest or caprice is served
fgffci regard to its co-ordinate conditions , which , g # the interests , or feelings , or happines of ygss . Xow , this is done whenever a minister is , sshe Scotch say , "intruded" on- a parish orconjngiBon . Suppose the first donor to hare given jise entire cinrch—land , buildings , endowment , tjij ail , ( which is , perhaps , aa strong a case sr patronage as can be set up ) he give 3 this Church ic the Tery purpose and on tha condition of its josg appropriated to a certain use ; and by this upropriarion other parties necessarily acquire isfe—rights of conscience , mote sacred even than § jse of property ; they acquire the right to hare ae word of life dispensed to them by a priest in nm they haTe confidence : they hare a natural
*« &' to form their own opinion upon this subject , of ifccb no man can ionesily deprive them , and for fikh bo equivalent can be offered ; the donor when i fc pyt the property knew all this , and he gave it skjet ; to these conditions ; he has no right there-Jr to violate these conditions ; nor has he any ajhl to dsg hi 3 benefaction with another condition fiseh must or may violate them : if he do so , he is psri = ely in the condition of Ananias andSapphira ns kept back part of -the price of the land which &r pretended : o hare given to the Church : whilst
i was in their own hands they had a right of con- - fee ! over it—bat when it waa given from them as a cfs to the Church , they had no longer any such i ^ rt , acd were subjected to the seTerest censure ud punishment for daring to usurp it . ' Ikis seems to us to be precisely the argument rf patronage , giving the most favourable "view to l &e ease of its supporters ; and it results in the con- j ession that patronage is , under all circumstances ] QdaKfcl to Christians ; that it is incompatible' . ¦ 3 h the free spirit of Christianity , and cannot be :
{ Erased withont trenching on the people ' s rights 1 & seems also to have been the view taken of the Btterby the early Scotch Reformers ; all of whon > fasranced patronage in strong and severe terms . Bat notwithstanding this denunciation it has still used in the Scottish Church from its first establishwtsL The civil law regarded and treated patronage as jreperiy , and even fixed the compensation money to ie paid to the patron upon the setting aside ot his 2 tht . The right of patronage was exercised in this . Ksner . The patron , when a benefice became neant , selected a candidate for the office and pre- ,
soted him to the Presbytery within whose jurisdiciim tie benefice might be situate , praying them to » diin and induct him . The Presbytery first acnaiced the qualifications of the candidate , and , 2 , after trial by the parishioners , more than one- iicf of the male heads of families , being communi- ' arts in the parish , did not agree to reject him , ] Bens their reasons for so doing , he was inducted j iso the living . In the event of rejection by the . jariih , the candidate could appeal against the : naaitv of the reasons for his rejection , first to the . Syaod , and finally to the General Assembly , by n » in the event of the objections being declared j fc 3 e . he could have the benefice restored to him . i
Such was tha law ; but the democratic spirit of the Seweh never well submitted to it . It was seldom aeted oa until of late year 3 when the spirit of resistanee agitated and has finally dismembered the whole tsbnreh . In 1824 , an Act of the General Assembly , winch commanded all Presbyteries , in cases of pre-KJSasi&a by patrons , that , if a majority of the male bevis of families , being communicants in a parish , tjtewd to any candidate as their pastor , he ' should fce summarily rejected by the Presbytery without ¦ to eoicamnicants being required to give any reason fe objecting to him . This is the famous veto act .
Xow ibis seem 3 to be a purely democratic rule of > KHm ; lad it is in upholding this rule againEt the * El » nty of the civil law that the late Moderator of &e Church of Scotland and the other 400 ministers «^ di £ Biiarie 3 have thrown up their livings and * ted « d from the Church . tt this was in reality what h seems to be at * 3 sight , a free giving to the people of 8 a choice of their own ministers—we should be ^ Susd to bestow as much praise on the " sublime * ° r * l spectacle" as any of the diB 3 enting organs of ^ < fey . But a little closer examination strips the
« sa ind thews the real face . The matter contended fe by these 4 tK » Scotch priests is not that of the Pwple ' s rights , but of their own exclusive domina-& 3 over both patrons and people . This Teto Act * k « a stems eo democratic is in reality an act Tot Jkdag erery parish and the whole temporalities * tbe eatire church in the hands of the priests ex-^^ C'y , to the entire Bhntting out of the people koni aay power at alL Uf course with such a
f » P » e as the Scotch , the priests would act warily 18 brinang into requisition euch a power as ^ i but it is nevertheless assumed . The * io 2 e tiling lies in the few words " leing ttoaxuhicanlt of the varish . " This ifi the * ia& * n which 4 oes the whole mischief ; and to un-^ -wsd its working we need but look at the con-^ -on of the Ecclesiastical Courts of Scotland .
^ There are four Ecclesiastical Courts in Scotland r * « st ^ the Court of Kirk Session for eT ^ y parish , r * P ° *« d of the Minister and two Elders , with Wrer to increase their numbers by other -Elders it **** by themselves . This is a Court of parochial ¦ " apiine , and may limit te tchom it pleases the ad-Z ^ ralion of the Holy Communion , trara tlacisg ™ ta ^ HASDS OP YEW OS . tLUir IHX BJGHT OP £ Xir ? ^ ihe teto . The second Court iB the
Pres-2 ^« 7 , composed principally , and for business purg * almost wholly , of the Ministers of a certain i ?** ' . Elders are included , bnt they axe merely ^• toca of the Ministers . This Court ordains and J- ^^ Mi niste rs within the Epher e of its juri sdic-^ i Tbe Court of Synod is but an extension of ZT ^ nsbytery ; and the General Assembly , or SnfP «| e Court , is an Ecclesiastical Parliament , comrj ™ € JfigislaiWe and judicial functions recognised J « d binding upon the whole Church , " Kow here then we have the whole secret of ihe
< ieT » i * &i € 5 s of these seceding ministers to the high *^ fe of principle ; and we have also here a Eum-** & * reason for Doctor Chatmebs' disavowal of -T ^^ nsm . Several portions of the Bertren d ^ oeior ' s speech on bs ! 2 g chosen to the Moderator ' s ^^ « the 2 \ ew Chureh Assembly , which have ^^ cted ms ? i recjsrk : ed much seeming astonish-^ « noat ; Libr ^ sb , are scfficiently < b-rjons -wbea We : & " £ &t tbc rca ] principle of this Veto - Act .

The Veto Act limits the righto to the communicants j and the Minister and two Elders , constituting the Court of Session , in any parish , may restrict the privilege of communicating ( for in Scotland permission to communicate is a privilege , and not a right , as in the Church of England ) to as few persons as they please . There are populous parishes in Scotland , where the Clergy have restricted the participation in the Holy Communion to eo more than seven heads of families ! Thus the real operation of the Veto Act is to place the whole power of the Church of Scotland in the hands of the priests . It is an engine by means of which they are placing the ecclesiastical above the civil power—the priest above , and irresponsible to , either magistrate or people . This the very high priest of the JJon-intrnsionists , Dr . Chalmers , openJy avows . He warns the Voluntaries that he will have nothing to do with them , and that they are to hope for no portion in his work . Thus it is that after all it turns out , on examination , that the mighty cry of these Scotch priests about " the sacred rights of the Church of Christ " means , just as usual , the power of the priesthood and no more . Dr . Csaimebs announced that the gross receipts in aid of the Free Church were £ 223 , 023 6 s . lid . Now this must have been " voluntary" mosey , we much marvel that the Doctor ' s high sense of principle , and his determination to have nothing to do with volunfaries did not induce him to reject it . But trust the priests to permit the voluntaries to give what they please ; so that they give only and take nothing .

THE WELCH CHARTISTS .
Where are they ? What are they doing ! Are they still alive ! or has the very spirit of patriotism crossed the Blue salt wave along with its devoted embodyment in Frost and his companions 1 Up ! Cambriens , up ! and shake off this disgraceful lethargy . Let us not be compelled to write you tbe degenerate sons
Of ancient sizes who knew no fear , nor felt Despondency ; but onward ever reaching , With their hopes , their arms , gave battle to the death . And in their mountain homes , -with wild wood notes , Tbe song cf freedom song and its fair spirit Cbarished ; leaving for their sons example bright To be all disregarded tiras ! Let us hear again of the * children of the mist " gathering upon the mountains , and of the " sods of the -valley" taking counsel with each other , that the spirit of liberty may again breathe over them its happy influence . It would do us good ; indeed it would , to hear something from Wales .

THE LONDON CHARTIST MONTHLY MAGAZINE . We have been favoured with a proof number of this new work , which is , we believe , published in London this day , ( Thursday ) . Heartily do we bid welcome to so valuable a " companion in arms" to aid in " the holy war " . The Editor , Mr . John Watkins , is well and deservedly known to tbe whole Chartist public . His official connection with it is sufficient warrantry that its columns will be filled with ** the right sort of stuff , " and we truly hope that the Chartist public will extensively " take it in . " We give the following from the introductory address by the Editor : — " TO OtB READERS A > D SUBSCRIBERS . 1 Pro aris el focis . *
" The 1 st of June . '—the glorious 1 st of June !—this day is memorable for the great naval victory gained on it over the French by Lord Howe . But we hope to render it more memorable—more glorious to us Caartists as the day on which the first number of our first Magazine came forth . Lord Howe ' s victory waa gained at the expence of truth acd justiee- ^ -it was an attempt to quell the rising spirit of liberty . Our little privateer will crnise in behalf of a better cause—we shall seek to free enslaved industry , and to succour oppressed virtue—we are the friends , not the foes , of ioan . We have a roving commission , like Paul Jones ; and wherever we can make a successful descent on the shore of ignorance , wherever we can carry off prejudice , we shall not fail to do so . Our standard is the Charter , and on it is inscribed " sociaJ happiness . "
" Our prospectus has stated that this work is undertaken by a committee of Chartists who have launched their vessel—christened it—manned i t- ^ - and now it put to sea with its freight of democratic truths—not yet chartered but soon to be so—sailing , sot on its own account , but on account of the cause , and with the favourable breeze of public opinion . We shall keep due on in a course of progress ,- like the Centenary ship laden with missionary intelligence , which we shall dispense at every favourable opportunity , and wherever we think it may do good . Onrs is a magazine not for powder and bullet , but for such weapons as St . Paul speaks of : Tha armour of righteousness , the breastplate of truth , the sword of the Spirit .
** This work is ' got ont' in shares , but withont the most distant idea to peenniary profit . Every shareholder ha 3 voluntarily and gratuitously rendered his support , and looks neither for interest nor principal back—looks for no return whatever—but is ready when called on to make a further advance on the same liberal and disinterested principles . Tbe work is devoted not to individual or party interest , but to the advocacy of those rights on which the
welfare of working men depend . We caie not for self in so good a cause ; but we trust that our subscriber ? will be so numerous as to prevent the necessity of further sacrifice . They will see to it that those who have zeal to serve them , shall not suffer for it , nor serve them in vain . Confidently we call on the public generally to give ability to our inclinv tion- We acknowledge no sovereign but the people , whose patronage we cheerfully anticipate will not be withheld so lon ^ as we prove ourselves loyal and
active . " Had this work been brought ont by an individual , or as a private speculation , it would have required the expenditure of a large amount of capital in advertisements and puffs to give it notoriety ; but we- have no such resource , and no snch reliance . We trust not in exciting curiosity , nor in tbe efficacy of promises too wonderful to be performed . We discard the puff system altogether . We wish to take no one in , but we wish all to take as in—to buy our book ; and we trust to its intrinsic contents alone—to a sincere desire to promote the principles which we advocate , and to an earnest wish to benefit the interests of out feUow labf urerB .
"It will be our aim , as much as possible , to diversify the matter of these pages : our contributors will eode 3 vonr , therefore , lo make their articles snit . We shaD each month present to oar readers an olio of good digestible fare , suitable to all palates —a kind of kaleidiotcope , which phases as follows : —Chartist History , Chartist Theology , Chartist Philosophy , Chartist Politics , Democratic Tales , Poetry , Reviews , &c . We shall make snch
selections from the matter before ns as we may think most conducive to the interests of the Magazine , and the cause to which it will be rendered subservientactuated neither by fear Dor favour . We shall ourselves , at all times , wr ite what we think—independently—for we should deem ourselves unworthy of the peoplf ' s confidence if we could flatter either them or their tyrants . All that we ask in return , is calm , dispassionate judgment . Let Reason be the ^ umpire : now Providence speed us for the people- "
There are , besides this , a variety of other articles —mo 3 t we sn 3 pect—as usual in the first number of every periodical , from the pen of the Editor . We recommend strongly to all our Chartist friends , of literary character , to " take up" the Magazine—to support h not merely by baying and pushing it , but by ivriiing for i-, Many of those able and wellwiitten essays upon various subjects , to which we are compelled , by the pressure of news , to refuse insertion , would here find a proper vehicle . We shall probably trouble friend Watkina occasionally with a stray lucubration of onr own , as iime and opportunity may serve . The present number coming upon us in the hurry of baanefis , we have not bad time to read any article but the one from which we
give extracts above . The titles of the rest speak well for them ; they are as follow : — % { Progress of Liberty in England from the earliest period down to the present time ?— A " Letter to Archbishop Canter , by a Christian Chartist f— " Knowledge , " & poetical ecrap;—The commencement of a tale called " The .

Feargus O'Connor To Numerous Correspondents.
FEARGUS O'CONNOR TO NUMEROUS CORRESPONDENTS .
The glorious uncertainty of the law has prevented me from giving definite answers to many correspondents , and especially to those who have written on behalf of London localities , inviting me to auend projected demonstrations . The fact is that I have not been able to call myself more than a prisoner at large since September last , and when I thought that the hour of liberation had arrived , I find that I am oncn more to appear before the Justices of the Queen's Bench , on Saturday . I cannot possibly , then , make any engagements unJil this longpending question is disposed of ; and I trust that those who have written and have have not received answers , will believe that they were not neglected intentionally . I have been busily engaged in writing ageneral defer ce of Chartism , which will be found in tbe eighth and last number of the Lancaster Trials ; and while speaking of those trials , it is a curious fact that eome agents complain that there were too
many numbers , and that they were too long ; just as if I could have helped it . Long as they were , if cut short by one single witness' entire evidence , they would have been incomplete ; and if wanting one defendant ' s speech , 0 Lord , what a row we should have had . Long as they are they will live beyond the present day , and will yet , and that e ' er long , form a part of the history of this country , and not an unimportant portion either .
I am really in such a whirlpool of thought and anxiety about the Irish movement , racking my brain to discover how we can best serve it , without running any the slighest chance of injuring either that or our own Charter , that I can think of but little else at present . ea . rgus O'Connor . London , June 1 , 1843 .

It is guile impossible for us to give the name of every subscriber to the Defence or any other Fund : tee can only give the sum total from each place . S . Boonham , Nottingham , sends us a forthcoming notice of a Chartist tea party ; but does not say when it is to be held . Samcel Walker , Ashton-under-Lyne . — We do not know . W .

any such moveme 7 it as that lo which he alludes having from us a determined opposition . We are for no project of merely transferring the ass and his burden from one gang of thieves lo another . But we must work cautiously ; and W . W . must allow us to trork our own way , and to bring out things at our own time . We have perhaps a larger view of the field af action than he may have .

LEICESTEB . Independent Order of United Brothers . —Leicester Unity . —Another Lodge in connection with this Order was opened at Leicester on Monday last , when twenty one persons were duly initiated and three more proposed . NOTTINGHAM . —At a general mooting of the workmen employed in the plain silk glove branch , held at the Shoulder of Mutton , Barker Gate , on Monday last , for the purpose of taking into consideration the evil 3 under which the hands were labouring , by the enormous charges in the shape of frame rent , and other infringements . A committee was appointed , with power to add to their number , to prepare an address , setting forth the various impositions to which they were subjected , and calling npon thoBe employers who are thus charging to desist from such practice , and return to the old system of frame charges . Tae trade are called upon to meet on Monday next , at eight o ' clock in the evening , at the above house .
TODMOEDEh-Shocking A ccident . —On the evening of Monday last , a guard of a luggage train , upon the Manchester and Leeds line , was thrown down between the waggons , and tbe wheels ran over his head , and crushed it in a very shocking manner , so much so that his brains fell upon the ground . It appears that it was a long train , and there was a pilot engine behind ; and , with the first engine having the steam turned off , the one behind caused the waggons to come in contact very forcibly , and he was thrown over the side of the waggon by that means . At an inquest held on Wednesday , a verdict of accidental death was returned . Ti-e unfortunate man , whose name is Hampson , has left a widow and two children .
BBOMSGrBOVE . —The trade of this town is in a most deplorable state . The Btaple trade is nail-making . The masters have reduced the men twenty per cent , and now they want a further redur '; .. ii of fen percent ., which the men have all struck again ^ t , aa the average wageB do not amount to above 5 s . 9 d . per week , out of which they have shop rent and tools to pay for . which is one shilling per week , leaving only 4 s . 9 d . for a man aud his family to subsi ? t upon . The workmen parade tbe town every day in large numbers , but are very peaceable . On Sunday , they went in procession ( about a thousand ) to Church , and some of tbe principal men in the town talked of forming a union to take the trade out of the truckmasters' hands . The churchwardens and overseers called a public meeting on Monday morning , and the men went to it , but were refused admittance by the police , who were stationed at the gates ; and when a deputation entrance
from the working men ' s committee obtained they were informed by these generous souls that if they refused working at the masters' prices , they would be refused all relief at the Union Bastile , and if they persisted in congregating together they should be taken up ! This is middle class sympathy with a vengeance . The men assembled on Monday at their usual place of meeting , when they were addressed by Mr . Wm . Clements , a nailer and a Chartist , who showed up the would-be philanthropists and gave the factions a good dressing , not forgetting the parsons , in not coming out to endeavour to gain the people their just rights . The magistrates sent for a troop of iiragoons from Birmingham Barracks , and they marched into the tpwn about eight o'clock on Monday n ? ght , when the town was aH very peaceable and quiet , and not the loast symptoms of disorder ; but when ihe troop marched in , the town was up in arms to know what was the matter that they were sent lor , but no one could answer .

Strange and Romantic Story . —A correspondent , who writes from Ballaghaderrine , county of Mayo , and with whose name we are acquainted , sends us the following strange details : — " Ballaghaderrine , Thursday , May 2 o , 1843 . —Yesterday the inhabitants of this town were annoyed by an announcement that there was a woman in custody who had served as servant man in this town for upwards of six months , and was known by nearly all the inhabitants as the great lady killer . lu fact , this person could not stand at the house door but the girls would flock about him ; and so jealous wera they of each other , that one of them was fined by the magistrates of this district some time since for scandal , arising out of this strange partiality . On being examined by surgeon Dillon , and one of the magistrates of the Ballaghaderrine petit sessions ,
it appeared that the name of the supposed man was Catherine Reilly ; that she had been married to Michael O'Malley , of Binghanes ; that she had lived with him for five ye » 3 , and borne one child ; through bad treatment- she was driven to adopt tho resolution of leaving him , and is now eighteen months away from him . On leaving her native place , she went direct to Ballina , and purchased men ' s apparel , in which she dressed , and then proceeded to Ballaghaderrine , where she was hired as servant . In the course of three or four months , a servant maid fell in love with the assumed man ; they plighted troth , and were joined in Hymen ' s bonds . They are married now four months , and the only excuse—but no , we shall leave this part to the imagination of our , readers . They are both detained in custody until Monday , the next petty sessions day at Ballaghaderrinc . —Freeman's Journal .
A Brute . —James Lepleton , a decrepid pensioner , aged 54 , residing at Rainhill , near Liverpool , has been committed to the assizes on a charge of having seduced his own daughter , who is under fourteen years of age , and whom he afterwards turued out of doors .

REPEAL MEETING IN CLARE . The Clare Journal , a Tory paper , gives an account of a meeting held in front of thecourt-house of Ennis on Sunday , in consequence of the following notice issued on Saturday : — "The Liberator dismissed from the commission of the peace ! ! Men of Clare , now is the day and how is the hour . The work of Ireland ' s freedom must begin where the foundation stone of her regeneration was laid , in Clare—glorious Claro . Clare men ! born slaves , but determined to be free ! Meet at two o ' clock to-morrow ( Sunday ) the 28 th May , in High-street . " The Clare Journal states that there was an immense assemblage at the hour appointed : —
Mr . Charles O'Connell addressed the meeting at some length , and with considerable effect . He said the government had dismissed tho Liberator from tho commission of the peace , which was only an incuinbrance ta him ; they deprived themselves of the aid of an intelligent and pacifying magistrate , and to vex their faces they cut off their noses—( laughter ) He had a most gratifying fact Ito tell the meeting . Mr . John M'Namara , a most respectable man and intelligent magistrate , declared to him that the moment he heard of a magistrate dismissed for attending a repeal meeting , that moment he would send up hiu subscription to the Corn Exchange . The government had other irons in the fire which
wanted more serious attention . There was the Scotch presbyterian question ; the Chartist proceedings , and other dificuities ; but the base , rancorous , and bigottcd crew determined to operate on Ireland alone , as far as coercion was concerned . He concluded by moving tho following resolution : — " That our best thanks are hereby given to his Graco the Duke ot Wellington and Sir R . Peel , for the energetic measures they have taken to secure to us a repeal of the parchment union ; and that we do assure those wise statesmen , that for every magistrate they dismiss for declaring their opinions upon an odious act of Parliament in a free country , they add 30 , 000 determined repealers to our ranks . "
The Rev . Daniel Lvricii appeared amidst loud cheers , and said , although he spoko of the baneful effects of the union in the Old Chapel on last week , still ho could not resist the temptation that now presented itself . In tbe spot where they now stood they achieved Catholic Emancipation , and there , with the blessing of God , they would effect , the repeal of the union—( loud cheers . ) Tbe Rev . Mr . Hennessy then came forward and complimented Tipperary on the glorious reception given to the Liberator there . The struggle of 1828 was still fresh in their recollection , and Ciare would rot be Clare if she did not make a grand display on the 15 th of June . He impressed on them all the necessity of having their contributions ready when called for ; and concluded a uhort but energetio speech , by calling for three cheers for the Queen , three cheer 3 for the Repeal of the Union , and three for O'Connell , which was respondtd to by every ono present The meeting then separated in a peaceable and orderly manner .

BISHOP AUCKIAHD .-A public meeting of colliers waa held at Cokton-hill , in a field belonging to Mr . Wm . Dixon , on Saturday last ; On account of the dullness of the day the meeting perhaps was not so large as might have been . Notwithstanding the short notice and only seven days previous agitation by Mr . Swallow , yet there could not be less than 1500 present , for the purpose of asserting their rights , and giving the right hand of fellowship to their brethren in the North and South . Mr . Tnomas Mycroft , of West Auckland , was called to the chair . Mr . P , Atkinson moved the first resolution , which was to the same purport as that adopted at Shaden s-hill meeting , and reported in the Star of the 20 ih mst . Mr . Robert Smithan aged collier
, , seconded the resolution in a most effective and practical speech . Mr . Swallow proposed the adoption of the collier ' s petition , aud that the pitmen of the Auckland districts pledge themselves to give all the information they possibly can in answer to the questions in the Northern Star of May 20 . Mr . Daniel Thompson ( a person who was discharged for being a delegate ) seconded it . After a vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting separated in an orderly manner . At the conclusion of the above a delegate meeting was held at Mr . Wm . Dixon ' s , when Mr . Mycroft was again called to tho chair . The Hs-t of collieries was called over , and it was found that al ! the collieries in the district , with the exception of seven , wero represented . After the several sums of
contributions had been handed over to the treasurer , the following resolutions were agreed to— " That a general meeting of the Auckland districts be held at Cokton-hill , Bishop Auckland , on Saturday the 24 th of June . " " That every debate bring one ehilliuff eacti to defray the expences of the district , ov r and above what is to be paid into the general fund . " " That every delegate bring proper credentials , 9 igned by the chairman and secretary of the ssciety ho may represent , er he will not be allowed to have a voice in the delegate meeting . " " That Mr . Daniel Thompson be recommended to the Executive as a fit and Droper person to become a lecturer of this society as a talented and tried friend to the Union , and as ho has been discharged from his employment on that account .

The Belgian journals relate the following strange occurrence : — "A gentleman named C——— , a native of Holland , has been for some time confined in a madhouse at Brussels , for religious monomania . Ho one day got loose , and climbed up one of the trees , with the design , he said , to go to heaven . Those below , who saw him climbing up , feared a fall , and the director of the establishment ordered mattrasses to be placed under the tree . Before this could be done , he jumped down , came on his feet , aud was but little hurt . The shock , strange to say , cured his mental alienation , and a few days since he left tbe madhouse perfectly Well . "
Latest news from America . —The Hibernia , — The new mail steamer Hibernia , Captai Judkins , arrived at Liverpool on Sunday morning last , ( May 28 'h ) , after a wonderfully rapid passage of eleven days and twelve houra from Boston to Liverpool , which is the shortest passage ever yet made across tho Atlantic She brings New Yoric papers to the 15 th , and Boston to the 16 th inst . We learn from the papers that the Hon . Daniel Webster has retired from office , after having secured the re-establishmont of firm relations of peace and amity between his own country and England . Mr . H . S . Legare , formerly Attorney-General , has been appointed Secretary of State in his place , but this ia only a temporary appointment . We find the
following paragraph in the Boston Evening Journal of the 15 th instant : — " The Sandwich Islands . —We learn from the Army and Navy Chronicle , that advices have been received from the Sandwich Islands as late as the 8 : n of March . On . the 2 oth of February , in consequence of demands made by the British officers , which the King could not , or would not , comply with , the islands wer e conditionally ceded to 0 , 'ieen Victoria . Possession waa taken of them the same day by Lord George Paulet , commanding H . B . M . ship Carysfort , and the British fias hoisted under salutes from the fort and ships J" The commercial accounts from the States are pretty favourable , tke demand for specie from England being at an end , and the markets generally in an improving state . '
Death of a Pier . —We are sorry to read in the morning papers the decease of tho well-known Pier at Greenwich . Tbo deceased had been long in a sinking state and had been subject to water on the head , as well as other ills of a very distressing character . The allusion sometimes made by sailors to their legs when invoking a coolness in the lower extremities was frightfully realised in the case of the late Pier , whose timbers were completely shivered between seven and eight o'clock on Thursday
morning . The Pier of Greenwich had the second title of Baron of Dividends , and though never known to be in hot water , waa on several occasions nearly swamped in the cold element . The Pier , which had bean proceeded against for a nuisance , has left no is ? ue , but the genera ! issue , which it pleaded to a declaration served , upon it when in extremis . Father Thames , the mortgagee in possession , ha 9 carried off several of the timbers , and invested this , the only property of the deceased , ia a bask of all sorts of deposits . —Punch .
Another Fire at the Dukes ' s Warehouses , Liverpool . —Another conflagration broke out on Saturday evening , in the western wing of the pile of warehouses situated between the Duke ' s and King ' s Docks , tho eastern end of which was severely injured , only three weeks ago , by a similar calamity . The fire was discovered about half-past five o ' clock , shortly after tho men had quitted work , when flames were eeen issuing from the roofs of the second and third warehouse ? from the western end of the range . Information having been promptly conveyed to the fire-police station , engines and water carts were soon on the ground . Nine engines were ultimately brought into play , and a plentiful supply of water was procured from the docks . In spite of all endeavours that were made , the fire descended to two rooms ( filled with cotton ) of . the fifth story of the second and third warehouses ,
where its progress was arm ted , the whole of the four stories , below being saved . Tho entire damage , we are informed , will not exceed £ 10 , 000 . The cotton consumed in the four rooms belonged to Messrs . Molly , Provost , and Co ., and was insured in the Royal Exchange Office , which company will suffer , with what they have en the buildings , to the extent of £ 5 , 000 . The ten warehouses of the pile are insured in unequal proportions amongst various offices . The chief sufferers on the present occasion are the Liverpool , the Sun , and as before mentioned , the Royal Exchange ; but their loss , we are happy to find , will not be very large . Some grain and other property in the lower rooms of the warehouses principally damaged , and of those on each side , have received considerable injury from the water . The grain , we are informed , is insured iu the Allianoo OfiSce .
Perth . —The Military and ^ habitants . —The following is an extract of a letter from Perth , dated Friday . We should hope the statements which it contains are exaggerated : — " Last n \ ght , a dreadful riot took place in this town , in consequence of a quarrel between some of the trades lads and the soldiers ( we believe of the depot of the 68 : h . ) A party of the military sallied out of the barracks , and in revenge attacked the people with swords ( query , bayonets ) and sticks , when a fearful commotion ensued . The constables were called
om , and the Provost had the Riot Aot read . The riot , however , was not quelled before tbe soldiers were severely beaten , aud a number of the constables so seriouily injured that they are not expected to recover ; indeed , I have heard that Fome of them are already dead . There are several of the soldiers in prison ; and it is said that tbe military are ordered to be removed from the town , which , it is to be hoped , will take place without further mischief , though this is greatly feared by many people here . "—Caledonian Mercury .
The Croal Coaches . —Diblin , May 30 . —The neighbournood of the Post-office was last night thronged by thousands of persons watching the departure of the Saxon coaches on their second journey , and a casual observer might hare remarked that there was a much stronger disposition to riot manifested among the mob . than on the previous evening . According as the mails made their appearance they were greeted with tbe usual yells of execration , in constquenco of which several ot the horses became restive , while those drawing the Belfast mail , in their alarm , made a violent plunge at the corner of Henrystreet , knocking down two men in tho crowd , and dragging the coach over their bodies . Both men received Bevere injuries ; one of them expired this
morning ; but it was after all the mails had left that the mob seemed determined on an Lmute : and the police , it was evident , were the objects of the popular " excitement , " partly , it cannot be denied , from the over-zeal of the peace-preservers in restraining attempts at rioting by the rather frequent application of the baton to : he heads and shoulders of the antt-Croalites . Retaliation , however , quickly followed ; and stones of considerable magnitude were hurled indiscriminately at the police , one of whom , belonging to the mounted force , had his eye knocked out by a missile discharged by one of the rioters . At length , by the interposition of Mr . Studdert , a divisional magistrate , the mob dispersed , leaving a vast number of
their body prisoners in the hands of the police . At half-past ten o ' clock this morning the rioters were brought before Mr . Studdert , at Henry-street police-office , who after hearing evidence , summarily punished the prisoners by fining tho bulk of them 40 s ,, or one month's imprisonment , while others had the penalties increased to 60 s ., or two months ia Newgate , tbe magistrate remarking , that as the public mind was then in a very excited state , he was determined t-Q , repress the spiri : that wad abroad by ihe inflicti ¦ . >¦¦ . oi tho heaviest lmiuahrnoi . t which the law fanetionod in such ra-e ? .

Troops for Ireland . —On Sunday morning , we believe quite unexpectedly , the 2 d Dragoon Guards ( or Qioeu ' s Bays ) , then stationed in the cavalry barracks , Hulme , received the " route" for Ireland , and they marched from Manchester on Monday , for Liverpool , on their route to Ireland . It is said that their present destination is Mullingar . —Manchester ^ Guardian . The Evening Post states that two brigades of the Guards are under orders of readiness for Ireland . No period has yet beoii fixed for their departure .
It is stated that two armed steam-vessels , the Cyclops and Rhadamanthus , have been ordered for service on the Irish coast during the imaginary insurrection . They are , it is said , to bring over large Bupplies of military stores . All this only serves to accelerate the Repeal agitation . The Government are pursuing a most absurd and mischievous course ; it may prove a most perilous one . More Dismissals ov Magistrates . —James Sinclair , Esq ., a mn ^ iatrste of the county of Donegal , has been this day superseded at his own request , Mr . Sinclair is a Protestant , and an anti-Repeal *> r ; but the unconstitutional proceedings of the government are calculated to give umbrage to the sincerest friends of the union .
