Jew, nicknamed Bufl'y, who was, and possibly is still, a ve active agent in illicit transactions. Some hundre of tubs were prepared at Boulognei their shape and colour being altered and disguised bye coaun of Paris plaster, studded here and there With {Elvefi shells, or sea-weed, so that the resem- bled ps of chalk, such as are found no or cliffs upon the coast of Kent. A cargo of spirits, in tubs of this description, was carried across to Dover during the night, and dropped upon the sands above low-water mark, so as to be dry when the tide re- ceded. The boat then put 011‘ to sea'and disappear- ed _; and .soon alter day-break one of the smugglers, attired _1n n Carter’s gaberdine, with a long whip upon h1s shoulder, drove carelessly past the block- ade sentinel, proceeded down across the sands, and leisurely loaded his cart with what seemed lumps of_ chalk, intended for burning into lime; he then had a few pieces of real chalk over the top, drove again past the sentinel into the fields, where the cart was unloaded in a twinkling, and the operation repeated, till every cask had been conveyed ' to a place of safety. As no boat appeared in this afl‘air, ad _but_ one person attended the cart, there was nothing in the least likely to attract attention, and to excite the suspicion of the sentinel. The‘scheme accordingly succeeded so well that it might have escaped detection altogether had not the secret been discovered‘to one of the officers of the Coast Block- ade Service—United Service Gazette. FRENCH Rnraiu'uom—Some of our readers will. prpbably remember that, in April 1839, the French brig Gnfiin fired into her Majesty’s steam ship Medea, on the “fest India station, wounding one of the seamen on board, a native of this town, named Matthew Harper. The French Government agreed to make reparation to the sufferer by granting him a pens‘ion; but for months Matthew lived in hope, or rather,'perhaps, on the kindness of his friends, for the promised pension came not. On Thursday lost, however, a mysterious looking letter arrived for the hardy tar, which, to his great delight contained a bank post Bill for £65, being payment of his pension from the day of his wound, fifteen months ago, and afier the rate of £52 a-year.——Whitehaven Paper. _ Cnuacu or ScornAxn.—Dr. Chalmers has pub- lished another pamphlet on the subject of Non-In- truston, in which in answering the question, “ What ought the Church and the people of Scotland to do now ?” he submits four propositions :—First, that as they have [tailed to obtain the ratification of the Veto Low, by Legislature, it should aled. His se- cond proposition is, that the Assembly “ instruct the Presbyteries to the Non—Intrusion principle on the ancient and immemorable footing of the call.” His third is that the people‘ should be stirred up to agi- tate for a more popular system. And his fourth proposition relates to the disposal of the refractory ministers of Strathbogie, and such refractory Licen- tiates as Mr. Edwards. These he contends must be punished severely that is, we resume, deposed,) in vindication of the ignity and onour of the Church, unless they come on their knees to the Assembly. Gal-:A'r Eerosrox A'r SPITHEAD AGAINST THE Wancx or 'rru: ROYAL GEORGE—By far the most inagnificient exhibition which has yet been witness- ed of the enormous force of gunpowder when exploded under water took place on the 5th August at Spithead. The charge, which consisted of twenty-five barrels, or 22501b., was placed at the depth of eleven fathoms and a half, Or about seventy feet under the surface, nearly over the original position of the fore-hatchway of the old ship. When 'Colonel Pasley’s preparative trumpet sounded,‘ all eyes were turned to the launch in which Lieutenant Symonds stood with the ends of the connecting wires of the voltaic battery in his hands. Scarcer had the word been given to “fire !” and the trumpet sounded, when the whole area was shaken as if by an earthquake, the surface became ruflied like the top of a glacier, and in the next instant, literally in less than two seconds, the water bulged up and rose to the height of about twenty feet, alter which a sort of second burst or bulge occurred, which pro— jected the sea in huge masses high into the air. Such was the violence of this effort, that the spray was thrown completely Over all the adjacent vessels in a drenching shower, accompanied by gusts of wind radiating fi‘om the centre. Various estimates were formed as to the height of the column or col- umns of water. Some went as far as 100 feet, and some as low as 50. The commotion in the water, and the ocean of mud, dead fish, and other symp- toms of violence which spread far and near, gave every promise that the operation will answer the purpose which Colonel Pasley has in view. The Clergy of the diocese of St. David’s have unanimously expressed their regret that a Bishop should have been appointed to that See who was ' rant of the Welsh language.- The Archdeacon vies has been made the vehicle of this complaint. -—Hercford Journal. _ Very many Dissenters have come into the Es- tablished Church through the ministry of the Rev.

Pamcn Loois NAPoLnon.-—-The Chamber of Peers met on the 18th Au . for the purpose of form- ing itself into a Court of I ustice to try Prince Louis Bonaparte and his accomplices, who are 88 in num- ber. After the Chancellor had read the Royal Ordinance constituting the House into a tribunal for the trial of the “mm” of Boulogne, Frank Carre, the Attorney General, presented his requisi- tory against the accused, and the court havmg a ' ted a commission of inquiry, adjourned :me It was said that the trial would commence about the 15th October. v - , OnWe mornin,sastheT s,m the quarters of the Palais y . qu'ays. the Palais de Justice, and also in the fau-_ bonrgs, crowds were running in all directions to read a large manuscri t bill which was profusely posted on the walls.

MONTREAL, Sept. 10.—-Contrary to expectation, the Grand Jury returned a true Bill this day against Thos. M‘Adam, for the wilful murdet of Arthur Farquhar. This has given a new feature to_the case, and will, mdst likely, prevent Mr. M‘Adam from getting out on bail. If this should turn out to be the case, he will have a‘ chance of having his trial before the next Criminal Term, in March, as the Grand Jury, in their Presentment to the Court, recommend the necessity of holding a Court of Oyer and Terminer, or the immediate discharge ofa large number of prisdtiers who have been lying in gaol for long periods. .

THE Cunard Atlantic Steamers having com- menced plying between Liverpool, England, and Halifax, Nova Scotia, :1 new era is formed in the History of the North American Colonies. This expe- ditious mode of conveyance will, doubtless, brin to their shores a number of individuals in search of‘hea th- ful and fertile locations; and the Advertiser, therefore, solicits such persons, having agricultural views, to visit Prince Edward Island, sojustly styled by writers " The Granary of British North flmerico.” It is situated in the Gulpli of St. Lawrence, and is only two do s’ travel by Coach and Steamboat from Halifax, N. This Colony, Willi respect to salubrity of climate, fertility of soi|,nnd excellent waters, is second to few, if any, in the British Dominions. The capitalist who determines on emigrating, may here purchase wilderness lands from 15:1. to 25s, per acre; or improved Farms, in dif- ferent sections ofthe Island, at from £2 to £6 er acre, according to situation, and the value of the uildings erected upon the property. The soil of this Island pro- duces nearly all kinds ofgrain, hay and vegetables; and cattle, as well as agricultural implements, suitable to the Colony,can be obtained at moderate prices. There are twelve Agricultural Societies, established within the-last few years, actively employed in introducing from dif- ferent countries the most improved breeds ofLive Stock, Agricultural Implements, &c. suitable for the farmer. To the Emigrant, even though but a small capitalist, Prince Edward Island ofi‘ers many advantages :-—First, its general prosperity, which is sufficiently proved by the increase of its exports, and its steadily improving revenue. Second,a healthy climate. Third, aplentifu supply ofgood waterthroughout the whole Island. Fourth, the fertility of the soil; and its freedom from all taxes, burtliensome to the Seitler. Fifth, the convenience of settlement, whereby the ruinous expenses which are sometimes incurred, by having to travel hundreds of miles,ufter landing, to a place of location, are almost totally avoided. Sixth, a certain remuneration for the labours ofthe Agriculturist, by a sure market, and a fair price, for all the surplus produce of his farm. Seventh, the labourer readily meets with em loyment, and re- ceives liberal wages. Eighth, to the ritish Emigrant it ofl'ers the enjoyment of the benefits to be derived from the laws, language, customs and manners of his native land; and he preserves in himself an identity ofinterest with that of the parent state. Ninth, Prince Edward Island is now only thirteen doys’ travel, by 'Cunord's line offltlantic Steamers, from England; and, if a ColonyI affording regular opportunities of speedy intercourse wit the mother country, and possessing the advanta as before enumerated, be desirable, the Advertiser,w has spent twenty years in the Island, thinks he may safely venture to invite such individuals as have resolv- ed, or shall determine to emigrate, to ay it a visit; and should they be induced to establish themselves and families here, in. preference to a foreign state, they will have the satisfaction to know that their posterity wil be scions of the British Empire. - [If Persons deirous' of purchasing either Improved or Wilderness Lands, are respectfully solicited to a ly (ifby letter, post paid) to the Advertiser, at his 030, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. \ ‘VILLIAM DOUSE, Land Agent.
