AMERICA . Liverpool , Satcbdat MoKitnro . —By the arrival of the Britannia Royal Mail steamer , Captain Hewitt , at tils port , this morning , -we hare receiTed New York papers to , the 15-h , anil Boston to the * 16 ih September , making the voyage in eleven dp . ys and a half from Halifax , and twelve days and a 'jalf fromBosten . The steamer Caledonia , which left here on the 4 ih September , arrived at Halifax -in twelve days . The Britaasia has brought about thirty -passengers . The following are " extracts
krought by this eonveyaaoe z—Ukued Suns . —In polities nothing new has occurred , except the Meeting of a great political State Convention , held in the interior * which has taken up Mr . Van Baren as the candidate of th » democracy , and has instructed its delpgates tosnpport tiim in the National Convention . This cuts off tie hope of every other candidate so far as this State is concerned . 2 a other respects the political Iwmon presents tbe same aspect as when we last 'described "ft .
The yellow fewer alarm has passed ' away , and no iartber apprehensions are entertained . We have had a ^ rholesoae change in the temperature of the -weather , -which most have an effect to stop the creation of the miasma . Business is reviving to an extent beyond onr hopes . Both in KewTofkj Boston , and Philadelphia , it is admitted there is much doing , and npon a basis ^ rhieh fa believed to be sound . The cotton crop of the South is defective . The "wheat croo of the North is most abundant .
There had been a disastrous accident on the Sus-^ aebaimah Railway , occasioned by the breaking of to © front axletree of the first passenger car , by which that and the two following cars were thrown off the rails . A considerable number of persons were seriousl y injured . Forgeries to a very large amount have been committed at New York , by ' whieh thebankBhad been -defrauded by false cheques , of j £ 29 , OO 0 , by a person named Henry Sannders , a youth of eighteen years only . He made an unsuccessful attempt to board tiie Great Western as she left New York on her last
voyage , but missed her , and went to Albany and Boston . At the latter place he was taken after having taken bis passage to New Orleans ; subsequently , about ^ 25 , 000 of the money was reoorered in the "bands of Mr . asd Mrs . Haggi , in whose possession ie had confided it . JXTBAOEDCTAHY BUBGLABT -AKD ROBBERY . —The extensive jewellery store of Messrs . E . and S . S . Bockwell , of No . 9 , Astor-house , lias been burglariously entered , and valuable watches , silver , and jewellery , estimated at about twenty-five thousand dollars , -was stolen therefrom . All the elegant gold watches in the large case near the door were taken , asd all the valuable diamonds , one of which was estimated at 1 . 200 dollars . Gold chains , diamond
Tings , and breast pins were removed , and a large 'quantity of silver , tea , and table spoons , were taken among other valuables . It is strange that with such a valuable , stock of jewellery , no person was kept to sleep in the store ; but is still more strange , that such a robbery should take place in one of outmost public thorougfares , and tbejogues escape detection . They will quickly meli the available " gold and slver for immediate ^ purposes , and retain the precious stones and other valuables until a chance to send them for disposal to some European city . The Messrs . Rockwell ofEsr a-reward of 500 dollars for the recovery of the property , -which if extended to as many thousands , will probably be the means of
restoring a large portion and arresting the thieves . Casada . —Tke Wbkat Crop asd JWeatheb . — "We are happy to hear from all parts of the conntry around , the most favourable accounts of the wheat crop . Indeed , we have ample proofs of its being abundant in quantity and excellent in quality . "We see daily arrivals in town of new wheat , and some lots have appeared in excellent dry condition , weighin as high as sixty-four pounds per bushel . The millers report the yield of flour as being large and good . In the memory « f the oldest inhabitant there has not been known sc long protracted a time of dry harvesting weather . Merchantable wheatin our market brings from 43 . 3 d . to 6 s . ^ d . per bushel . — Byimcn Gasetle .
Serious Riohsg has occurred on the Braniford canal , in Canada . The ringleaders have been arrested . In Miramichi , to& , at Chatham , New Brunswick , there has been rioting , which is not yet suppressed , but only Emothered by the exertions of the troops under Captain Grant . One or two lives are said , by the St . John ' s papers , to have been lost . It is right to add that that these riots are of a local , rather than a political character . The British schooner A-rarniah has been wrecked sear Chalenr £ ay , and seven lives lost . The steamer Adventure , ninety-eight tons , arrived at Quebec from Toronto a few day 3 since , being the first steamer that has ever run down all the rapids , and made the whole voyage . The pardon of several Canadians , implicated in the insurrections of 1837—38 , has created quite a sensation .
Sra ChaxlesMetcaxtz , the Governor-General of Canada , has been visiting the Eastern t ownships . He appears to have been warmly received by the population . Sasteks Fisheries . —A letter from ¦ Captain Stephens , the commander of one of our provincial revenue cruisers , published in the last Acadian Recorder , states that the seal fishery out of Margafee , CheticaEip , and Sydney , has been very successful daring the present-staBon ; a fleet of fourteen sail from these perts having returned from the ice -with about 10 , 000 yp ^» The mackerel fishery in the spring proved remarkably unsuccessful , cot more than 500 bands having been taken -where upwards of 23 , 000 barrels were obtained last year . The summer herring , it is stated , have been pretty plenty about Terbay ani the coast ontvards . From the cod fishery only a limited supply may be expected .
The Xabiader fluhflnea promise irelL The " salmon fishery , in p&rtiealBT , has been very successful—np Trarda of 1 , 100 Uerees having been already taken . . The number of vessels that have passed through the Chambly Cinal , this season , up to the present date , amount to about one hundred , and of these only two Have proceeded direct to New York without unloading at Si . John ' s . Saved timber and salt form the bulk at their cargoes . Texas . —The steamer Sarah Barnes arrived at New Orleans from Galveston on the 26 th , with Gal-Teston dates to the 22 d ult .
The Commissioners on the part of Mexico and Texas ,-respectively , are to meet at Loredo some time during thia month , and upon a satisfactory adjustment of the points there to be discussed being accomplished and ratified by the negotiating parties , Commissioners are to be appointed to settle all existing difficulties between the two countries , under the friendly mediation of Great Britain , France , and the United States . Colonels Williams and Hockley are appointed Commissioners on the part of Texas . Asa drawback to thiB , however Santa Anna has stated to Elliott that " he will not entertain any proposition having for its object the separation of Texas from Mexico . " This we should suppose "would be preposition No . 1 , on the partof Texas .
Captain Elliott has made a formal requisition in the name of his Government for the restoration of 3 , 000 , 000 acres of land , designated on the old maps as Cameron ' s and Beale ' s grant—a grant from the Mexican Government to these parties . The plea of Texas for resisting the claim is , that it was made with the Mexican Government before the revolution , and that that government is alone responsible for its infringement . Commander Moore has been dishonourably dismissed" from the Texan Navy . Texas is in a very -disorganized state . The President , Houston , is stated to be very unpopular .
Mexico . —A friend at Mexico wites as follows : — ** We are on the eve of the elections , and I -will beforehand announce to you that Santa Anna must lose them , and bs will have another congress to dissolve . The Yucatan Commissioners are not likely to come to terms with Santa Anna . Disturbances m a serious nature for the Government are , I think , tobe feared in Tobasco . " A new theatre is constructing in Mexico , 10 be called El Gran Teatro de Jsanta Anna . The papera contain full descriptions cf this magnificent edifice . It will be one of the IWRestaad . inost splendid in the -world . It will con-* 2 - ^ / eats - Il s ornaments , pillars , painting ? , and other decorations , are to be of the most gorgeous character . There was no prospect of any immediate arrangement of ibe exiting diScuJties between Mexico and Yucatan .
BITE 5 O 3 Atses , —The war between Bu « no 3 Ayres and Monte Video , or rather the Banda Oriential , or which Monte Tideo is the capital , still continued but was earned on Bluggishly , as we infer from the fact that there had been very little fighting a bulletin wa 3 issued at 3 Ionte Video . June 20 announcing that President Rivera had gained a victory over the Buenos Ayrean division of Colonel Flores bnt the ( Buenos Ayrean ) British packet saya the report was without any geod foundation . Moste Yidxo . —The Monte Video Government ¦ was endeavouring to obtain a loan of 500 , 000 dollars .
on a pledge of the Custom Hou 3 e duties for 1844 . They had sold the Government House for 80 , 000 -dollars . An affair had occurred at Monte Video between Mr . Garibaldi and the Brazilian Charge d ' ASaires , vhieh threatened the interruption of peaceful relaizmB between the two countries . Senor Regis , the Garjed'Affaires , had withdrawn from the town , and gone on board the Brazilian squadron , which is formed in line outside of the harbour . A steamer was despatched to Rio Janeiro , with communications for the BzazOian Government , the result of which is anxienily awaited .

According to the packet , the iDSur / ^ snts had & great number of men taken pri-Bonfjta , « nd lost upwards of 1 , 000 hoxBes , all their ar « illery , baggage , &c Greece—We stated in our last lhat a revolution had eccarredin Greece j press of Chartist and other intelligence prevented us giving the details . We now lay them before our readers ; premising that they are somewhat abbrevated ; rendered necessary by the many demands on our space . All the leading features of this triumphant popular movemeBt will be perosed with interest . The revolution "was begun on tfee-aight of the 14 tb , and effected before noon next day . We take the narrative of the Greek
Observer" The hostile attitude assumed by tie Government against thoBe whoaongbt to enlighten it , the extrnordinary dispositions adopted -within the lart few dayB ¦ with a view to assail the liberty and the very lives of the cit'ztns ( a military tribunal had been established ) most devoted to the national interests , should necessarily tend to hasten the manifestation of the contemplated movement . Last night at two o ' clock a . m ., a few musket shots fired in the air announced the assembling of the people in the different quarters of Athens . Soon afterwards , the inhabitants , accompanied by the entire garrison , marched towards the square of the Palace , crying , 'The Constitution for ever ! ' On reaching the place , the entire garrison , the artillery , cavalry , and infantry , drew up under the "windows of the King , in frent of the Palace ; and the people having stationed
themselves in the rear , all in one voice demanded a constitutien . The King appeared at a low window , and assured the people that he would take into consideration their demand and that of the army , after consulting with his ministers , the Council of State , and the representatives of the Foreign Powers . But the Commander , M . Calergi , having stepped forward , made known to his Majesty that the Ministry * was no longer recognised ; and that the Council of State was already deliberating on the best course to be adopted under existing circumstances . Shortly afterwards , a deputation from the Council cf State presented an address to the King , comprising , among other things , the following requisitions , which it described as measures emanating from the vranta and wlshea distinctly expressed by the Greek
nation" Your MBjesty will consider it expedient to appoint a new Ministry without delay . The Council of State recommend to the approbation of your Majesty , as persons competent to form it , because of their enjoying public esteem and confidence , llessrs . Andre Metaxa , for the Presidency of the Conncil of Ministers , -with the TJepartment of Foreign Affairs ; Andri Londos , for the Ministry of War ; Canaris , for the Navy Department ; Rbigas Palamidis , for the Interior ; Mansolas , for the Finance ; LeonMelas , forJuB'ice ; and Michel Schimas , for Public Instruction and Ecclesiastical Affairs .
" 'Tour Majesty 'will be pleased , at the same time , to sign au ordinance , which will impose on the new Ministry , as its first duty , the convocation within the delay of & month cf the National Assembly ; which will deliberate npon the definite Constitution that is to be established in concert with the Royal authority , as the segis under which the throne and the nation shall hereaftei be placed . The extraordinary circumstances ef the country rendering the convocation of the National Assembly an urgent necessity , and not admitting of a new law of election being previously framed , jour Majesty -will permit your Ministry to convoke that Assembly , agreeably to the spirit and provisions of the last law of election in vigour before 2833 with the Bole difference that the electoral colleges shall elect their presidents by a majority of votes .
" The lew Ministry , invested with the full powers necessary to conduct the Government in accordance with the gravity of the circumstances which led to its formation , uTirII render an account of its acts to the National Assembly . ' " Whilst his Majesty was reading the propositions of the Council of Stats , the representatives ef the Foreign Powers presented themselves at the Palace , and were told by the Commander that nobody could be admitted at that moment , the King being in conference with the deputation of the Council of State . The latter came out fwo hours afterwards , -with the consent of the King . The new Ministry then repaired to the Palace , -where they held a long consultation with his Majesty ; who
shortly appeared on the balcony , surrounded by his Ministers and other personages , and was received with acclamation by the people . The cry of " Long live the Constittrtional King ! " resounded , together "with that of ' Tfee Constitution for ever ! ' The new Ministers entered immediately on the discharge of their functions . The military revolution was directed , on the part of the regular army , by the ColODel of Cavalry , Dametri Calergi , and on that of the irregular army by Colonel Macryany . At three o ' clock in the afternoon , the garrison , after dtfiHng before ^ he Palace , Te-entered their quarters , preceded by their bands , amidst the acclamations of the people . An hour afterwards , the city , in which order had n » t been an instant disturbed , resumed its customary aspect . "
Next day the King issued a decree convoking a National Assembly within thirty dayB . The Council of State issued a decree , thanking the people and the army , exhorting them to continued order , and dictating to the army an oath of ** fidelity to the country and to the constitutional throne , " and of attachment to the constitution to be settled by the Assembly . The Council also decreed that the 15 th September should in futnre be a national festival . Simil&r movements took place at Chaleis and Nauplia .
Letters from Athens , of the 17 th ult , Bay that all foreigners who held offices under Government were to be dismissed , with an exception in favour of the veteran Philhellenes . It is said that the King yielded with bad grace , when he fonnd ; resistance on his part would be nnavailing . It was eleven o ' clock ajn . before his obstinacy was subdued . The military bands were then playing the " Marseillaise " and the " Parisienne "; which gave him cause to suppose that affairs might proceed to unpleasant extremeties . On the 16 th King Otho took his customary airing ; and was siluted as he passed along the streets , with cries from the people and soldiers of H Long lire the Constitutional King 1 "
Intelligence from Athens , of the 17 ib instant , adds nothing of sews to the account of the recent revolution , but gives some interesting traits of its most extraordinery moderation . Tzinos , a minister , who had ordered the infliction of torture on several occasions , was hidden for a time in the King ' s palace : he was forced out ; but his only punishment was to be banished , and to be guarded by the troops of the new regime from the fury of the mob . Vlahopulo , the old Minister of War , indiscreetly presented himself , and ordered the troops to withdraw : Calergi merely paid , " Take the Bavarian away , and shut him up 1 " and he was put under a guard in his own house .
Herat . —Letters from Erivan announce the important fact of the death of the King of Herat , Kamram Schah , whose throne has been usurped by his Vizier , Tar Mahomed Khan , who has expelled the sonB of the late King . The usurper has been acknowledged as King of Herat by the Schah of Persia to whom he sent his submission . Extbaohdisaht . —The Bcraldo of Madrid of tbe 21 at says—** Yesterday a woman died at St . Andie at the age of thirty-three , after having given birth to
five boys , who all died shortly afterwards . ' RxrssiAM TrRAiwr . —Tbe Commerce gives the following to show the rigour with which the police of Poland is conducted : — " A foreign merchant arrived at the frontier with post-horses . His passport stated that he was to travel vritb . his own . From this circumstance alone be was taken into custody , and sent as a prisoner to Warsaw , and it was not without the greatest difficulty , and through the mediation of many influential friends , that he obtained his liber ty . "
Belgixs Railway . —The Belgian and Rhemish Railway will be opened on the Hth icebi Rome—The two bandits who , about three years ago , attached and robbed Don Miguel while he was ont shooting , were executed at Rome on the 12 ih inst ., having been condemned for various robberies and murders . ill all " robbers" and " murderers" were treated in the same way , Don Miguel would have been " execnted" long since J Mckdebs is Pabis . —Amongst the malefactors who have been lately arrested oa a charge of street robberies in Paris , attended with violence , is a man named Teppaz . who at first gave important information ; bu » it was at the same time evident that he coneealt d a great part of the truth . On Friday , after having been permitted to receive a visit from his mother , he demanded to bo bronght before the chief of the police of safety , to -whom he
saidu l know ihat I am about to commit myseli" beyond a possibility of escape ; but I promised my mother to te ll all , and 1 shall keep my word . I have committed many robberies , and assisted at many atrooious deeds ; but there is one act the recollectiau of which haunts me night and day . "In 1836 I was enrolled amongst a band of assassins by a man named Poildevache . When I showed any hesitation to commit violencej my companions kicked and beat me to give me courage , as they said . One evening that I was watching near the canal of
Martin ^ in company with two others , a man of about thirty-six years of age passed by . One « f the band , Rampailleux , having judged by his dress that he had money , seized him by the throat and threw him to the ground . Poildevache then ran forward and seized the legg of the victim , whilBt I , by order of the others , searched his pockets . As tbe victim ^ as making great exertions to escape , Rampailleux fv ew ^ J * knife ' ^ yk ft * Wait , and I will give you the police BeaP , and he stabbed him several times . He then took the dead body on his shoulders , whilst Bernard held it by the legs , and they then flung it into the canal . °

The poVics have Bince arrested another of this hideous baud , a man named Piednol , twenty-nine yeare of a ge , ten of which h « passed atthegallies . On Saturday , says the National , appeared before the Court of Assizs of the Seine Henry Salmon , twenty-one years of age , born at Joigny , and accused of murder committed on the person of John Seichepine , in the wood of Vinoennes . Henry Salmon confessed his crime . His sole defence may be summed np in these words : — " I wished to possess his papers , aud I lo ? t my head . " Having been found guilty , he was condemned to death . He heard his sentence without betraying the slightest emotion .
Belgium . —Hobriblb Mubder . —An inhabitant of Lomtnel , in ; Belgium , suspecting that his wife had misconducted herself with an officer of the customs , a few evenings ago , reproached her with her infidelity . ; A violent quarrel ensued , and the woman became so exasperated that she went to the room of the custom-house officer , who lived in tho same house , and , taking a pair of loaded pistols from his table , returned with them , and discharged one of them at her husband . Having wounded , but not killed him , she deliberately fired the other into his breast , and completed her object . The reports brought several persons to the spot , and she was at once secured and committed to prison . The next morning , she attempted td destroy herself with the sharp edge of the cover of a pot , in which some coffee had been brought her . She mado a
severe and ragged wound in the throat , but did not accomplish her purpose . The custom-house officer was not at home at the time of the murder , but has nevertheless been arrested , and committed to prison . Cologne . —The Way to cure Duelling . —Lieut . Pelzdr , who lately , in consequence of a dispute at a ba ll , fought a duel -with M . Main , a bookseller , and shot him , was sentenced by a court-martial to be beheaded . The King has commuted this sentence to fifteen years' imprisonment in a fortress . Lieutenant Pelzer has accordingly been conveyed to-day to the fortress of Ehrenbreitsteiu , as well as the two seconds , who are condemned to ten year . * ' imprisonment . The other two persons implicated in the duel are said to be sentenced to five and two years ' imprisonment . No doubt is entertained that the imprisonment of the two seconds at least will be considerably abridged .
Hambdbgh , Sept . 28 . —The brandy distillery of M . Schot , on the Green-dike , was destroyed by firo last night . France—La Reforme states that five of the persons arrested as participators in the the Commu&iet plot of the Rue Pastourelle had been set a ' , liberty . Other warrants however had been issued by the Attorney-General , but the charges against the accused were not of a very serious nature . M . Henri Dourille , a literary man , lately arrested as an accomplice of theirs , does not , it appears , belong to that portion of the Radical party . Ho always strongly condemned the principles of the Communists . Jaras = e , a political convict , attempted to commit suicide by swallowiDg varnish used by carpenters . Boudin , who was condemned in the affair of tbe Republiedn Monitor ^ had become insane .
[ Such is the treatment given by the infamous son of the infamous Egalite , to the men who blindly raised him to a throne , on the strength of the pledge that that throne should be " surrounded with Republican institutions . " One patriot swallowing poison and another driven mad ! Suoh aro the "legitimate" fruits of middle-clafs treachery . How long—How long ? 3 Paris . —Murder and Suicide . —M . Pamel , a performer at the Opera Comique , having lately lost
his voice , and consulted several physicians without deriving any benefit , the calamity so preyed upon his mind , fearing that he woulU lose altogether the means of supporting bis wife and four children , that in a fit of delirium he mortally stabbed his son , ten years of age , stabbed another boy in the loins , wounded his wife dangerously ; and finally , the police coming to arrest him , he escaped into another room and there plunged the poignard into his owa heart up to the hilt , and expired immediately ,
The Wiie of Gaxjdet . —Madame Gaudet , the widow of the celebrated Girondin , lately died , at a very advanced age , at St . Emilion , in the department of the Gironde . Another distinguished female , Madame Sirey , niece of Mirabeau , wife of the wellknown juris-consult of that name , aud mother of the unfortunate young man who met last year bo deplorable a fate at Brussels , died at St . Germain-en-Laye , on Thursday . Serious Accident at Marseilles . —A Russian
vessel having appeared a few days ago in Bight at Marseilles , a number of persons assembled on a drawbridge communicating with the mole , and commanding a view of the sea . The weight of such a crowd , amounting at least to 150 persons , proved too much for the timber work , and the bridge gave way , bearing with it tbe living mass into the water , and on the quay below . Strange to say , however , this terrible event , which would seem likely to cause a great loss of life , passed over with only five fractures and about a doz ^ n contusions .

Indications are visible that the "far North" is about to prove as troublesome to " the powers that be" as Wales and Ireland have been for some time past . The Non-Intrusionists have left the * ' kirk ;" and if there their hostility to the existing order of things had stopped , government would have cared very little for the change ; inasmuch as there are not wanting plenty of " waiters on Providence " ready to clutch at the " loaves and fishes , " abandoned by Chalmers , Caudlisb , and Co . But ( as in the " sister kingdom" ) the violent orations of the chiefs , of the Non-Intrusion movement , have not been without their effect . When Macgill Crichton , the noted Don Quixote of the movement , talked about " unfurling the broad blue banner of the Covenant : " M unsheathing the claymore ; " and
taking themselves to the " hill-sides there to emulate their martyred Bires who died for the faith ;" people—at any rate the simple working people of the far north—thought all thia was in earnest ; and that tbe worthy knight-errant meant what he Baid . Accordingly we find the flocks of the seoeders dis . posed to take a step beyond that of their shepherds : not only have . they left the kirk themselves , but they seem determined to allow no one else to enter it . Thus in different parts of the North whore the heritors have attempted to " settle" new ministers in the vacated churches , they hare been met with open physical resistance . And no little damage has already been suffered by lords and ladies , sheriffs and procur&tor-fiscals , ministers and elders , in their attempt to " settle" ministers in parishes , to which ministers the people -were opposed . Here is the latest " pronunciamento" of the Highlands : —
* ' Non-intrusion Riot at Resolis , near Cromatby . —Thursday being the day appointed for the settlement of the Rev . Lewis Rose , presentee to the parish of Resolis , vacant by the secession of the Rev . D . Sage , the rev . members of Presbytery , Colonel Hugh Bailie , M . P ., of Redcastle , and Lord-Lieutenant of the county , Sheriff Jardise , and other gentlemen , accompanied by ladies , set out from the residence of Sir Hngh Frazer , G . C . B ., at Braelangwell , in vehicles ; but on arriving within a short distance of ihe church , they found that the church , which occupies arising ground , was surrounded by a numerous party of males and females , for the most part under mature age , and that a few minutes previously , on perceiving the approach of Mr . H . T .
Cameron , procurator fiscal of the district , aud a sheriff ' s officer , they had at onoe forbade their approach to the church , by greeting them with a volley of stones , although Mr . Cameron is a celebrated non-intrusionht himself . The lord lieutenant , Colonel H . Baillie , M . P ., and the sheriff , aud Sir H . Fraser , being present , it wus hoped that respect would be paid to them by the riotous party surrounding the church ; accordingly , leaving the ladies in the carriages , the members of Presbytery were accompanied towards the church by the above , among other gentlemen , and parties amounting to 100 . They were not , however , permitted to proceed , for on coming within reach , vollies of Btones were hurled at them in such a manner as to oblige them
to retreat . Matters having now assumed a most alarming appearance , an officer and three or four revenue-cuitermen , who were in the neighbourhood , were hastily brought up , armed merely with their cutlasses and pistols . One double-barrelled gun and a lew pistols were all the arms that could be distributed in addition amoug the maintainers of the law ; others being obliged to provide themselves with slicks . Having formed is as good order as possible . with the four ¦• ouitermen infrmt the Presbytery and escort , preceded by the sheriff , again advanced towards the church , and were received , when within reach , by volleys of stones . The sheriff then read tie Riot Act ; bat , before concluding it , would have been brought to ihe ground by a stone , which he only avoided by bobbing his head . One woman , more Uold than the -rest , advanced so near that Mr . Cameron , tbe Procurator Fiscal , seized her : she
resisted ; however , so vigourously that it was not untu they bad both fallen and rolled upon tbe earth that ano was secured , placed in a gig , and driven off to Croiuarty gaol by a messenger at arms . Scarcely a persoL . had not been struok by stones before the order w ^ given to Jire upon the rioters . One ran was japparontly wounded in the leg , but , being on ao elevation , tfce pistol , although loaded with ball , did not , do much apparent damage , and , net possessing further ammunition ! the revenue officer ordered the patty to charge with their cutlasses and with sticks . At " this juncture , and while leading his men on , he was knocked down , aud it is said had a rib fractured by a blow from a stone , and , unfortunately , about the same instant , he received a severe wound on the back of the neck from a missile , which covered him ¦ with blood . The force being clearly insufficient for ^ ffacting an entrance into the church , under such I

circumstances , and especially as it was asserted that there was a large party lying in wait in the wood above the church , the Presbytery were deforced , and retired to effect the settlement in a private house . In the evening the shertff ' s officer who had conveyed the f emale to prison w as waylaid , seriomly maltreated , and his vehicle destroyed . A mob also surrounded the gaol at Cromarty the greater part of the night , and an attempt to rescue was anticipated by the authorities . Under these circumstances , and as similar outrages are expected at Knock bain , and other places where ministers hate to be settled , it is said the Lord Lieutenant of the county has applied to Sir Nevil Douglas , the Commander of the North British Forcea , for troops , there being only a handful of men for garrison daty of Fwt George , "
A precious sight this ; the reverend members of the presbytery , skulking behind " reveniife officers , " and trying to smuggle their contraband wares into the kirk under tho legal protection of" pistols" and " bludgeons . " And then the valorous Mr . Cameron with his triumphant capture of one womaa , after Bhe had well-rolled him in the mud ! Why , Lochiel is fairly pat to shame by this valorous exploit of his namesake ! But " wait awee" ! Since the above was written we have received the following account of more " routs , riots , and tumults" in the " far Nortb" :-
" Further Rioting im East Ross—the Minister of Logie Deforced , &o . —It is with no small mortification , and pain we have to record a recital of additional disturbances in the eastern part of this county . The Rev . Mr . Mackenzie having been indueled by the presbytery at Diugwatl , proceeded to preach at Logie on Sunday last ; but found a vast collection of people congregated at the church , in the utmost state of excitement . The entrance was barricaded , and a lawless , desperate mob hovered round it , resolved to prevent any person whatever from going into the church . Lady Ross , Balnagotvn , drove up to the church , and was assailed with the most virulent Billingsgate . Not only so , but a woman actually struck at her ladyship with a
sticks , and sho received a blow m the arm . Lady Ross then withdrew , amidst a shower of stones and blackguard abure . Shortly after this , Mr , Ross , of Cromarty , accompanied by his son , Mr . George Ross , arrived at the church . Access was denied them , and the most scandalous and impious language uttered . The church bell was tolling , and ihe noise and clamour of tbe crowd was at that pitch so as to threaten the most awfal consequence ? . Mr . Ross repaired to Tain for Mr . Sheriff Cameron , who accompanied him to Logie . Tho Rev . Mr . Mackenzie had by this time gone away ; but as there was still a large crowd at the church , the sheriff used the utmost exertion to restore quiet . We understand that some of the people Baid , if a bite were given to them for a church they would desist from further
annoyance . The crowd shortly afterwards disappeared , without further violeace . " At Rossken , on Sunday , a mob collected , in the expectation that : the Rov . Mr . Mackenzie was to preach , aud of course prepared to obstruct his entrance . Having been made acquainted with the actual state of matter ? , Mr . Mackenzie did not appear ; and having collected , tromob could not but Perpetrate some mischief . The precentor of the parish church , Donald Fiaser , having been recognized , way immediately assailed , and tbe mob would have torn him to pieces , had it not been for the interposition of Lieutenant Mac ' eod , who , having been on that part of the grounds near the church , checked the rabble that pursued Mr . Fraser , and iu a manner rescued him from their violence .
"On Tuesday morning , four officers arrived at Invergordon , from Tain , with warrants for apprehending two individuals connected with the riots . On this being known , tho bell was put through the town , and an immense crowd immediately collected , who rescued the prisoners and ordered the officers to go home , under the penalty of being stoned to death . The men took the hint , and their prisoners are still at large . During all Tuesday crowds surrounded the church of Rosskeen , the people ignorantly expecting that the Presbytery would appear that day , to go through again with the settlement of Mr . Mackenzie . " —Ross shire Advertiser .
Se s 6 : ; the '' moral and religious" people of Scotland are now a ** lawless and desperate mob , " —vomiting " Billingsgate , " "blackguard abuse , " " scandalous and impious language , " &c , &c . Such are tho libels heaped upon the noble peasantry of the Highlands , by miserable , lying , quill-drivers . The people are termed " mob" and " rabble" too , because the patrons of this lickspittle thing , the Ross-shire Advertiser think proper to trample upon the conscientious feelings of the peopln , and the latter thiak proper to shew resistance . Verily the newspaper press ia almost universally tbe very sink of iniquity . Mark too what the people want : " if a site were given them for a church they would desist from further annoyance . " Now we have hot much fellow-feeling with the "big guns" of the Nou-Intrusion movement ; for wo can understand their motives , and therefore despise them . But we do sympathize with the people , —the oonaoientiouB honest people ; and
they having left the " kirk of their fathers" because they could no longer conscientiously worship therein ; what more reasonable than : that at their own cost they should seek to build churches elsewhere ? But no , thia must not be ; the " lords of the soil" eay the land is ours , and we will "do what we like with our own , " and acting in this spirit they have refused to let or sell a solitary foot of ground on which the people might assemble for religious worship ! This is not all . The Scottish aristocracy in general , and the Duke of Sutherland in particular , has been guilty of most gross tyranny towards the seceders . Is there any wonder then , that tho people should exhibit ; tho spirit they are now shewing ? We see by the Aberdeen Herald that two hundred troops have been ordered to Ross shire , and 'cere on their march there the latter end of last week ! If Donald ' s blood is once fairly roused , there will be work for them .

SOUTH WALES . l from our own Correspondent . J So , so ; " the truth alwaystella the bestJ" for onr Welsh newspapers , which were so lately lost in admiration of the gallantry displayed by our rural police , have at length made tee discovery that tbe conduct of that force has neither been of such a laudable or praiseworthy nature as they had led their readers to suppose . Even the Swansea Journal , that most contemptible of all puerile publications , has now , at the eleventh hour , communicated tbe astounding fact , that the gallant Captain Napier , his four full-privates , two sergeants , one inspector , aye and even the magistrates who accompanied them , have a reasonable chance of figuring
where better men have stood before them , and obtaining the unenviable title of " tbe prisoners at the bar . " Tme the editor or reporter in noticing the circumstance gives it as Mr . and Mr . ; but we all know who accompanied tho police on their memorable excursion to Pontarddulais ; and this paltry effort at concealment iB of a pat with tho cringing cowardice which that newspaper has ever shewn , wbeD the conduct of the authorities" was under review . However , every man who took part in the attack on the rioters , on the above occasion , is , according to these authorities , to be brought to trial on the charge of not having proceeded according to " the statute in that case made and provided ; " sad if bo bronght to trial , there is little doubt that a jury of Welshmen will do them ample justice .
Agreeably to the promise contained iu my last , I attended a public meeting on Wednesday , which was announced as a meeting of the inhabitants of five parishes , with most unpronounceable names , and to be held oq the Alt-Cyn-Adda mountain . The place of meeting was about seven miles from Carmarthen , and in tbe immediate vicinity of tbe burgh of Eidwelly . The hour was fixed for eleven o ' clock , but it was nearly twelve before tho bueinesB commenced . On the ground there could not be less than a thousand persons , generally of the class of small farmers , with here and there
a sprinkling of the " higher orders of society . " It was bitter cold upon the mountain top . ; but notwithstanding both wind and rain , the great bulk of the meeting remained firm to tbe conclusion , although tbe proceedings occupied nearly six hours . A whole brigade of reporters were present representing the four local papers , the London Times , Chronicle , Herald ; and last , though not least , your humble servant of the Northern Star . Every accommodation was afforded to the scribes , but the labours of nipst of us , excepting one or two who could hieroglyphic the Welsh * terminated on the conclusion of Mr . Williams' address .
On the motion of Mr . Williams , Philip Howell , Esq ., mayor of Kidwell , was called to the chair . Hugh Williams rose and said—Gentlemen , amid the grievances which we long have suffered , it is a source of some satisfaction to see Buch a respectable assembly gathered together , in order to make these sufferings known , in the hope that some means of redress may be applied . We have already had large meetings to lay our grievances at the foot of the Throne , the first of which was held on Mynedd Selen , and the next on Mynydd M&wr . The first of these was a glorious display ; but tbe scenes of outrage which were daily occurring , threw a damp over the second . Yet still the people mustered iu their thousands , determined to make their Bufferings and their prievances known . I then had the honour of submitting certain resolutions to these meetings , which I am happy te say were
adopted ; and subsequently we held a meeting at Trelearch , in order that our common grievances might be generally submitted to oar common country , the meeting at Trelearch was burked in consequence of Imperfect notice having been given , and a alight attendance only took place ; bat although few were present , yet 1 fcave no hesitation in saying that they represented the feelings of the great body of the community , as we were unmiinous in oar views , unanimous in onr sentiments , being truly actuated only by one mind , and having only one object in view , the alleviation of the condition of our fellow men . Thia agitation has engaged the attention of all England ; reporters are present both from London and the provinces , who will disseminate t . ' ie sentiments which shall this day be delivere 4 &M over the countrynay , all over the civilised world . I gladly ibear teatimoDy to the service which , * ioa bees ilons . tojjsjy that

mighty engine , the press ; and we have all reason to be grateful to tbe press far advocating the cause of the poor Welsh . It basjbeen objected to these petitions to our Queen that they are too long ; but a long list of grievances require a lengthy petition ; and my own opinion is , that they are rather too short . The first subject which it notices is the tolls ; and I may take some credit to royaelf for being the first who called public attention to the crying grievance of turnpike tolls . This is a little work which I issued from tbe press so for back as p . 839 . You all know onr national
anthem , "< jfod . save ; the K'ng , " ^ hkb , to suit the altered circumstances of the country , was transmogrified into "God save ibe Queen ; " but I then considered , as I do now , that the rhapsody and rant therein contained are a disgrace to a people who claim to be free ; and the sentiments of revenge which are there inculcated cannot consistently be entertained by any individual having the elightest claim to Christianity . In the little work I have just alluded to , I introduced a piece which I considered to be free frem these objections , which I entitled " God save our native laud I " I shall now read the first staczi in that poem :
" God save pur native laud I Vouchsafe thy fosfring hand ! God save the land—From tyrants , tolls , bastilea , Barracks , and cat-nine-tails , Game laws , excise , and jails—God save the land I " In the noteB appended to that statzi , on the subjects of tolls and bastiles , I have said : — " Tolls . —There is no country where legal plunder , in the shape of tolls , ^ prevails to so great an extent as in England and Wales . The several corporation , port ,
ferry , fair , market , and town tolis , are grinding and monopolizing enough ; but those collected at turnpikegates , or common- road-plunder-bars , are still more grievous . All tolls impede traffic and intercourse ; and , beside their impolicy ! are a clumsy and corrupt species of taxation . Highways should be under one general and responsible direction , possessed of talent and scientific skill . The amount of our turnpike-road tolls might be made alone ; to defray the cost of a moderate government ; as it ia , but a small portion is applied to the actual improvement of the roads , while the greater part disappears into a variety of dark channels—in peculations , jobs , and patronage . "
" Bastiles —This is the only country in the world : where the reduced middle classes , and all the producers , composing the great majority of the national voice , , are reduced to worse than savage life ; where they have no prospect in poverty and old age , but imprisonment fa union workhouses , there to be treated as imposters or criminals ; separated frem their wives and children , and subjected to tbe caprice of a host of officials , living on the poor rates in ease and luxury : thus steeped in poverty to the very lips , to have their best feelings outraged , and their mostjsacred engagements h « ld in scorn . " Such , continued the speaker , were my views iu 18 S 9 , and such they continue unchanged to tbe present day ; and I am glad tbat the recent destruction of the turnpike-gates , though unlawful and indefensible acts , have yet succeeded iu drawing the attention of the press of England to the subject ; and this grievance is rapidly disappearing . I contend , moreover , that tho New Poor Law is thoroughly inapplicable to the rural districts , as
farmers cannot devote a sufficient length of time to the investigation of the complicated accounts of tbat board . For my own part , I have no hesitation in saying that I , a professional man , who , from habit and experience might be supposed to . be better qualified to sift and examine accounts than you who devote your lives to agricultural pursuits ; yet these fellows have become so expert in cloaking over the inaccuracy and incorrectness of their books , notwithstanding that jugglery and insidious jobbing are as conspicuous as the sun at noon day , yei were an angel from heaven to testify to the fact , the determined vagabonds would swear him out of it . The speaker next adverted to the various other points mooted in the memorial , which embraced the better regulation I of county stock and legal fees , fixity of tenure , and assessment of rents ; each of which topics were dwelt upon at considerable length , and were listened to throughout with the greatest attention . I
A number of other speakers followed , who addressed the meeting in the Welsh language , all of whom were enthusiastically cheered , and the Bpeechifying continued until five o'clock in the evening , when tbe meeting broke up and the Alt-cyn-Adda mountain was left alone in solitary grandeur . Rumours are rife that South Wales is to be p ' . aced under martial law ; but if we get more " martial" than we are , Heaven only knows where our « 'martial" course will end . Every town and village is swarming with trebps ; the very apple-wives have their stalls capsized , and their wares scattered along the street , by charging troops of cavalry : scarcely half an hour elapses but bugles or trumpets -are ringing fottb . their " cilia "
through our streets ; and many of our magistrates have their mansions garrisoned by soldiers , ia « rder to protect their worshipful persons from harm . We also hear many stories of " drillings" of Rabeccaitea among tbe hills ; but whether these Btorles are true or false , they have raised no small alarm in the minds of many . Bat , be this as it may , Rebecca has been quieter this week than usual . Some , xyho fancy that tiu-y possess correct means of information , tell us that the present lull is occasioned by the anxiety of certain parties to get their friends admitted to bail ; and if their present endeavours in that mattur are unsuccessful , the calm will be but the prelude of a earning storm—a storm to which all that is past will be but as the gentlest whisperings of the infant breeze- !
She has , however , been having a " lark" or two with the myrmidons of the ( law ; one bailiff , who was in possession under a warrant for distress , having received some not very tender remonstrances from the whips of her daughters ; and another having obtained a lodgment in the farmer ' s horee-pond . There ia now no possibility of txicuting distress-warrants in the country ; and the lawyers are getting laughed at whenever they attempt it . An attorney in Carmarthen bad been trying this method of " raising tbe wind ; " and be was accordingly waited upon by tbe party against whom he bad commenced proceedings . The farmer told him that be could ' nt pay ; land the attorney replied that he
must distrain , as bis injunctions were imperative . The farmer rejoined , that if such steps were adopted , he must apply to his old mother for aid . " D n you and your old mother , " said the lawyer ; " you must reniembc-r that you arc ia Carmarthen now ; and if you begin to talk about your old mother here , we shall clap you into the big house at the end of the bridge . " Well , well , ' responds the farmer , " if you bave a big house in town , my old mother has a big house in tbe country ; and if you clap me up here , sh&'ll olap you up there , the very first time yon shew your nose among tbe hills . '' S . » saying , he tore tbe summons to pieces , and coolly walked out of the office . He has heard no more of his law-suit . i
The spy-system is carried on to a great extent One person , representing himself as a clergyman from Manchester , took lodgings at a res pcctable inn . Ho had remained there for some days , and was very particular in his inquiries about 'Becca . But as this is the corampn topic of conversation , ! these enquiries excited no suspicion . Circumstances , however , arose which called particular attention to this gentleman ' s motives ; aud an open letter having been accidentally left by him on the dressing table , ; afforded a clue to his real character , although it w . ia written in cypher ; but as Capt Scott's name and Capt , Napier ' B were often repeated , the " peepers" were at ; no very great loss to judge of bis clerical profession ; a ^ d the pump being conveniently located in the stable-yard , a plentiful dose of the " cold ¦ water cure" was administered to him on his return , when he was advised to shift his quarters .
The trustees having resolved tore erect ibe Minka gate , preparations were accordingly made . But'Becca resolved to spare them the unnecessary trouble ; and accordingly assembled her forces dn Saturday last . At her former visit she ha < l spared the gate posts , they being of iron , and possibly too hard ; for her to digest ; but on tbat night aha shivered them to pieces , aud broke up alt the materials which bad been laid down to build the tollhouse , resolved that tolls should no longer be levied there . j Same time ago the gate at Pen-y-Girn was broken down and a farmer named Davies was apprehended on
suspicion . Evidence | was heard againat him and h « was fully committed for trial . Bail to any amount was tendered and refused . } They also refused to hear any testimony in the prisoner ' s behalf , stating that they had heard plenty to warrant a committal . The prisoner ' s council applied to the Qtfeen's Bench for a rule nisi ; which was granted . When they found the turn affairs were taking , they wrote to Mr . Maule , solicitor to tbe Treasury , enclosing him a copy of the depositions . He wrote back saying they had no ground for committing him at all . After bearing this , the parties who refused bail to the amount of £ 3 00 Q , accepted the sauio in £ 400—Such is Welshijustice .
Victoria versus KEBecci . —Proclamation . —By the Queen . —A Proclamation was agreed to , at the meeting of the Privy Council , held by her Majesty at Windsor CaBile , on Monday last , strongly reprobating the " tumultuous assemblages" in the * ' counties of Pembroke , Cardigan , and Carmarthen " , and . calling on all "justices of the peace , sheriffs , uudersherifrV , and all other civil officers ; " to repress ail such " tumults , riotn , outrages , and breaches of the peace" : and offering a reward of Five Hundred Pounds , to any person who shall M discover and apprehend , or cause ) to be discovered and apprehended " , all persons ; guilty of incendiarism , or outrages against life : and Fifty Pounds for the apprehension of all other offenders !

The Slave Trade—The Portuguese schooner of 44 tous , the Esperanza , has been condemned by the Mixed Commission Court , and broken up for sale , agreeably to our treaty with Portugal . Her instructions contain a tale of horror , requiring no varnishing to render it a romance . She was commissioned for the coast of Africa , for the Mosambique , and with a crew of ten men , and provisions for fifteen days {!) was to tako in 220 slaves , or if small bales , so the . 'laves are lormed , 250 ! and easily packed in a space of ( what ? gracious God !) the hold of a vessel of 44 cons , with a height of thirty-two inches —ayo , inches ! between the slave , or under , and upper deck . Manacles and chains were on board , to the number of 900 . for another cargo : and with
provisions for fifteen days was this frightful freightthis cargo of human misery—to cross the wide Atlantic , to traverse , at , a bird ' s flight , Dearly four thousand miles . Suppose calms , or adverse winds , or storms occurred—suppose the voyage was delayed for twenty days , to no port dare tho slave-ship run ; from no vessel dare she seek for assistance ; 250 human beings , without water or food , crammed into a space not high enough to sleep when lying down in one position for twenty days and nights , in a hold fetid with their own filth , without ventilation , with a putrid and foul
atmosphere , on deck 23 inches from the ceiling . Can any fiction , any romance , portray what might bave been the bitter agony , the tortures of these Africans \ A slave can be purchased for ten bars of baft , or ten pieces of blue cloth , say twenty shillings , and will fetch at Brazils 480 dollars , or often £ 120 . Tho immense profit renders the slave traders regardless of human life ; one slave in every ten , if brought to Cuba or Brazils , yields an ample return ; and anxious as our cruisers are to check this wretched traffic , the western coast of Africa is too vast aud extensive for the fleet employed to watch it .
