Dr. Dickenson, the incumbent of St. Ann’s, Dublin, and Chaplain to the Archbishop of Dublin, is to be the new Irish Bishop. He owes this important preferrnent solely to his merits. We believe that he is not only no- connected witb any members of the Government, or their supporters, but even unacqua' with any o them, excepting those whose duties fix m in Dublin. Hts claims are his talents and his virtues. He is one ofa class of clergymen uncommon in England, and still more rare in Ireland, who belong to no faction or clique. He has shown his politics only by the support of every liberal measure and of every useful institution. He was an open and strenuous advocate-for the comprehensive system of education introduced by the Educational Board at its commencement, when the success of that great experi- ment seemed scarcely to be hoped, and when its defen- ders were the objects of a High-Church and Orange persecution, even more general and more bitter than that by which they are now assailed. In the prominent situation to which he is now elevated, he will be e wor- thy associate to Arclibisho Whately and Archbishop Murray in the glorious con ict which they are waging for the people of Ireland against the violent and prejudiced of both persuasions and of both countries—against the Ereters of England and the M‘Hnles and Beresfords of Ireland—Morning’C'Iirtmiclr, Nov.

Mmusmcu’ Issrtrurc.—Last evening, M. H. Perley, Esq. delivered his commencing Lecture, on the Early HistOry of New Brunswick, and as might easily have been anticipated, from the peculiarly interesting nature of the subject, the spacious H all was crowded with eager and attentive listeners, amounting in number to at least 800. Every one must naturally desire to know as much as possible, of the country in which his lot is cast; and those who listened to Mr. Perley last evening, must have been both gratified and instructed, by the pleasing and luCtd manner in which he treated his subject, by the research displayed, and the highly interesting and (to very many,) novel facts adduced. Mr. P. has been for- tunate, in having had access to many original and offi- cral documents. not hithererto attainable by historic writers, but which materially elucidate the history of this young btit rapidly rising province; lie has made diligent and efficient use ofthese advantages, and we hesitate not to say, that he has succeeded in compiling the best and most authentic history of New Brunswick ever yet published. Repeated plaudits from the audience cheer- ed the Lecturer, and testified the gratification he impart- ed; and mttcb impression appeared to be made, espe- cially by the statement of one fact; viz., that in the reign of Henry Vll. John Cabot, in the employ and under the flag of England, after discovering Newfound- land‘nnd St. John’s Island, landed on the shores of this Province, between Richibucto and Miramichi, two years before Columbus reached the main land of Amer- tcu; and thus New Brunswick was the first portion of this great continent on which the feet of Christians ever stepped. I The lecture wasillustrated by the display of a great vartetyofancient Indian implements and utensils ' and afl'orded the greatest satisfaction to the audienc'e’ The subject will be concluded on Monday next when we doubt not the ball will be crowded ; and we ctin'sidcr that the whole province is greatly indebted to Mr. Perley for this most useful and interesting product of his talents, and research ; which indeed should be committed to the press, and thus preserved from oblivion.

[Among the numerous assemblage at the Mechanics’ Institute on Monday evening, we noticed His Honour the Chief Justice, his Honour Judge Parker, his Honour the Speaker, the hon. Hugh Johnston, and a very large number of our most respectable citizetts. His Honour the Chief Justice expressed himself highly gratified with the Lecture, and with the great prosperity of the In- stitute; and as an evidence of his desire to eitcourige so

E15112 colonial retrain. MONDAY, JANUARY 25, 1841.

The late hour at which the Mail arrived on Saturday even- ing qelevcn o’clock), has occasioned the postponement of the pub ication of our present number untrl to-day. ' ‘

The Royal Mail Steam Pocket COLUMBIA, being her first trip across the Atlantic, arrived at Halifax on the 19th rush, in 13; days from Liverpool. Her latest London dates are to the 4th of January. For want of time to make selections, we avail ourselves of the summary of the news furnished by the Halifax papers. ,

A report had reached England, brought over land through Russia, that the British Forces had captured Pekin. We doubt, however, the correctness of the information.

The Princess Royal has been vaccinated twice, the first up lication having failed. y the following items it will be seen that the war mania was reviving in France, and was supposed to be encouraged by the Court, as fear of hostilities had passed by—and some ulterior designs were to be forwarded by the excitement.— Spain has hardly recovered from her civil war, when she finds occasion to quarrel With ltcr nearest neighbours.— .N'ovascotian. - . The Egyptian power, like the presumptuous earthen pitcher competing with vessels of iron, seems shivcred to pieced—Encouraged by France, Mehemet braved the allies, and now lies at the mercy of them and his former master. This must be very humiliating to the fiery old man. A few weeks before and he might have made excellent terms, saved a fine army, and withdrawn within his Egyptian possessions on honourable terms—now he bows to his conquerors, and talks of the omnipotence of fate. On the 7th December, the Stromboli entered Alexandria, with despatches from Admiral Stopford to the Puchn, retir- sing to ratify Admiral Nupier’s convention. On the 8th, the Magacra arrived, with Admiral Stopford’s flag c‘aptuiu, and a second letter from the Admiral. This offered, in the name of the four powers, to maintain the Pacha in E t, provided he agreed, within three days, to restore the ur- ish fleet and to finally evacuate Syria. On Dec. 10th, the Pacha conceded all that was demanded—The refusal to re- cognize Napier’s convention mortified the Paella, and caused charges of inconsistent and unfair conduct.—-—-A,letter of en- tire submission was forwarded by the Pacha t0 the Porte’s Viceroy. In this he claims favour, and calls himself his sovereign’s old and faithful servant. The difference between Napier’s convention and that agreed to by Admiral Stopford, appears to be the mode of withdrawing the E ptian troops from Syria, and the time of delivering up the cot. The flustrian Observer, according to the Constantinople in- telligence of the 9th Dec., states that the Ottoman Porto has JUSI announced to the Corgis Mplomutr'que, that all the coast of Syria being occupied y Turkish troops, the blockade of the ports .of the territory must be considered as raised.

Arrouamsrstv—Dgfeat of Dust Mohamed—Letters from Culiul of Sept 20th, give the particulars of'a decisive victory obtained over Dost Mahomed on the' 18th, at Bamean, by a. small force under Brigadier Donnie, consisting of six pieces of horse artillery, six companies of 35 native infantry, and between 400 and 500 of the Schah’s troops. The ene- my were a thousand strong, headed by Dost Mahomed and the Waylee of Khonun in person. They left three Sirdars and 500 men dead on the field, together with their entire baggage, standards, and the only pieces of ordnance in the Essessmu of Dost Muhomed, who fled seriously wounded.

. an attack on a fort in the same district, Oct. 2lst, a Brit- tle cqrps were repulsed with the loss of anumber killed and wounded, including Capt E. Connoly, who was shot through the heart. t _ From China we have an account of an attack on the island Chusan, which took place on July 5th. The city Ting-ha—heen was taken, after a. show of resistance. The Chinese troops abandoned it in the night. A few lives were lost. A letter detailing several circumstances of the attack, says, that the worst enemy found in the place was an intoxi- cating liquor called samsho. Much of the stuff was destroy- ed, but not all, and drunkenness and disorder were the cou- sequenccs. Demonstrations were making at several points, but nothing decisive appears.
