Thev could not have come more opportunely, as I was suffering considerably from indigestion at the time. I immedi- ately commenced taking the pills, and found great benefit in a few days. I have taken them subsequently, with the same ef. feet, which induces me to believe that they ate an exceedingly beneficial remedy in indigestion.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAV, JULV 10. Lord Campbell's Law of Libel Bill was read a second time. The Limitation ot Actions Bill was read a third time. The chief portion of the sitting was occupied with discussing the Church Endowment Bill. The bill was read a third time, but some additional clauses were to be added, which were to be discussed on Tuesday. After some further business, the house adjourned. TUESDAY, Jt'LY 11. The Church Endowments Bill was read a third time and passed, a clause having been introduced by the Bishop of Lon- don, which, he said, would obviate all the difficulties with res- pect to the bill, and would place the Ecclesiastical Commis- sioners on the same footing as the governors of Queen Anne's bounty. The Church of Scotland Bill passed through committee, after a brief discussion on some of the clauses, and the house then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY, JULY 10. Mr. Turner requested information as to whether or not the Government were prepared to advise her Majesty to visit with her signal displeasure all persons engaged in duelling, or if they would bring in a measure next session on the subject 7 Sir Robert Peel was alive to the importance of the subject, but was not prepared to make any declaration without mature consideration. The adjourned debate on Ireland was resumed by Captain Bernal, who cited the words of Sir Ro^ p 1 uttered four years ago, in which he expressp.J on the importance and necessity of 8" .ft'pittfon Ireland. He touched on the staUb of on behalf of the Irisl- lo^ci Mfc&mpVilnl urged church, the franc1 p«op!e=-theft Welched condition, the Conservative -ise, &c> 5 abd passed from tbence Co the great in flam r- meeting held in Dublin in 1837, at which much pro -.atory language wa's used, and many magistrates were -*ent, and yet none of them were dismissed. Amongst the speakers at that meeting were Mr. Serjeant Jackson, now a judge the present Solicitbr-General and a Master in Chan. eery. What confidence could the Irish people have in a Go* vernment aad party which thus rewarded the bitterest assaitants ol the religion and character of the great majority ? Address- ing himself to Sir Robert Peel, he entreated fiirti not to listen to the coercive party in the Cabinet, tot to Vemember the advice given to Charles the first—to rtmove the causes of the com- plaints. Sir Howard Douglas took up the topic of American sympathy with the repeal agitation, the animus of which was apparent in the feeling of hostility towards Great Britain and he stfotifcly denied the parallelism of the cases of Ireland and Canada. 1 he system now pursued in Canada was adverse to its tiue in- terests, and the British connexica. the agitation in Ireland, was entirely the work of one man—there was no existing real grievance which could warrant it; in proof of which be quoted returns, showing in recent years a gradual and steady increase of home and foreign trade, and other Motions of growing prosperity in Ireland. Sbonldno^thlSr member do so, he would propose a specific motion" strttigly deprecating the existing api, tation, and declaring tfcAt no concession shall be made to the demands of the agitators, until the country be reduced to peace and quietness. England was a Protestant country, under a Protestant Queen and this great state, which had stood the shock of the world ,n arms, would be overthrown from within J 8'r0Dj> me.-sures were not taken to ensure the peace of Ire- tn an ,jje intejjrity 0f the union. Sir H. Douglas concluded proposing his motion. The motion was not seconded. Mr Villiers Stuart, ob the pftrtWf the Irish people, asked no (avours--tbey vimpfy demanded their right to be placed on the same fooling of equality as England and Scotland. Why was it, that a country alleged to be so prosperous was almost ready to rise in arms against the government 1 The people of Ireland were steeped in poverty and wretchedness, which he traced to bad legislation and mis.government. Even the Repeal of the Union would not cure the social evils ef tfv; country-thest could only be removed by a course of taip&itial justice on the part of the country. The first treat evil was the present condi- tion of the Establi*h«rf Church, which was a badge of con- quest, iind ft Vending grievance, inasmuch as it was forced on a prople of a different form of faith. The tithe did not belong t tT) the tandiords but he thought that the burden of the Pro- testant Church should be borne exclusively by it members, two modes of doing which he pointed out, either by increasing the amount of assessment, or by voluntaiy contributions. The equitable adjustment of ecclesiastical revenues, and other re- medies, would change Ireland from being a thorn in our side to the greatest friend and supporter this country could possess. Captain Rous, referring to the policy of the late government, said, though tied up by the bigotry of the Scotch Presbyterian Church, and the bigotry of the English Protestant Church, we nevertheless contrived to pacify the Agitator, who pacified Ire- land and we had some years of tranquility. But the present government, in addition to the bigtt'try of England and Scot- land, had also the opposition Of the Irish people, and thus we were brought directly In collision with them. Catholic Eman. ctpation was but an instalment—'he rest must be paid sooner or later. The state of the Protestant Church was monstrous —a revenue of half a million for 700.000 Protestants, and which was paid for the support of tiergymen, many of whom had XI.500 a year for tftV.ihg cate of twenty-five parishioners. Let us change places with the Roman Catholics, and then see what would be our feelings. Strongly denouncing religious war cries, Protestant ascendancy, or Roman Catholic suprem- acy, he argued that the only way to govern Ireland was by consul ling the feelings of the people-Ihat was the way to com- maof} ft ship or a regiment, and it was equally applicable to a nation. Sir William Somerville contrasted the speeches of the two gallant officers, Sir Howard Douglas and Captain Rous, the latter of whom exhibited a remarkable contrast to the former He lately returned from Ireland, where he found society in so dangerous a state, as placed an awful responsibility on the go- vernment. Their conduct in obstructing the measures of the late government, and their legislation since they came to office, had largely aggravated the present state of things. The Act of Emancipation had not been carried out in its spirit; the sub- ject of Registration was made a viiuleot party question; the, No Popery" cry had been raised and even the boasted mo- deration of the Irish appointments of the present government, was not borne out by the actual facts. Nor wat their legisla- tive or executive administration conciliatory-particular in- stances of which he adduced, especially in the recent dismis- sal of magistrates, which was not carried on on any definite principle, and in the marching and counter-marching of the troops, making themselves a laughing slock to the people.— He recapitulated some of the arguments used by previous speakers—as a Protestant himself he knew that there was an increasing body of Protestants in Ireland whose feelings were strongly opposed to the present distribution of the revenues of the establishment, and who felt the injustice of their ap- plication to the exclusive support of the clergy of a sma pro- portion of the population. Would they 8° lo 0 luPPor( he present system ? If so, the voice of civilued Europe would condemn them. He knew Ireland well a a 6 enjoyed and held dear might be placed in jeopardy by their policy, and he solemnly prayed that they might be a °Pl 'hat course which might conduce to the we are asses of the ""The Aoorney-General defended the judicial appointments of the government spoke of himself, his opinions on education, and his canvassing of Dublin University and, amongst other topics, came upon the subject of the church and told Lord J. Russell that Mr O'Connell hau said the VVhigs could not ex- pect to regain office, or his support, without a re-adjustment of ihe ecclesiastical revenues of Ireland. As to the repeal of the Union, if there weie any looking to foreign assistance to effect it, he hoped and trusted there were enough, both Protestant and Catholic, to maintain II- Lord Howick thought that the adoption of Mr. Smith O'Brien's motion would be the regular Parliamentary mode of intimating to the people of Ireland that something more effec- tive waa about to be done for them than had ever yet been at- tempted. The speeches which had been made, not on one, but on both sides of the house, would justify its attention for tbough in opposition to the motion he bad heard quotations from old speeches, and the repetition of forgotten arguments, 1 here had been no exposition of the views of the Government, 4nd they were alllefl to the conclusion that all that was to be Jone to remedy the grave evils of Ireland was an Arms Bill, and a slight amendment of the Poor-law. the agitation ex- cited in his mind great alarm and terroi not that he doubted the power of Government to put down any insurrection, but be- cause it afforded proof of the growing alienation of the Irish people, and showed that in our hour of danger and difficulty, Ireland would be our weakness instead of our strength. The meetings for Repeal were dangerous, and the motives of ihe agitators censureable j but he shrunk from the prospect of an attempt to put these meetings down, without doing some- thing to allay the discontents of the people. We must con- quer their affections, not by acceding to their demands, but by removing their grievances. These originated from two causes; one 'he wtetchedness of the people, a main element in which was the slate of the relation of landlord and tenant the other, the relative positions of the Roman Catholic and the Protestant Churches, by which the natural pride of the people was wounded and their feelings insulted. No direct interference of Government or legislation could immediately remove the wretchedness of Ireland all they could do was to remove Ihe obstacles which interfered with the development of industry. But iu this respect they could not do much; the country had stores of mineral wealth, inagnificeat river3, and fertile soil and the people, as evinced by their conduct, either in America or England, showed that they were on industrious, cheerful, and active race. English capital went to Chili or Petu, and could not be wanting for Ireland all that was required was security; and wretchedness was the moving cause of those agra- rian outrages by which capital was deprived of the assurance of security. The people, looking to the land as their only re- source, clung to it with the tenacity of despair; the legal power of the landlord bad fiequently been harshly and cruelly used and though what was asked under the name of fixity of tenure" appeared to be inconsistent with the rights of property, something like what Mr. More O'Ferrall had lecommended, securing the tenant in outlay for improvements, ought to be considered the responsibility of it lay on the Government, in whose hands it ought fitly and only to be placed. By removing the discontents of the people, tranquillity would be restored, and capital would now in, paving the way for more extended application of labour in public works. This policy had suc- ceeded in England in the reign of Elizabeth, when great num- bers of the people had been thrown on charity by the destruc- tion of the monílStelies-lhey were provided for by poor laws aDd public labour. Increase of the means of communication was a p.ime element in civilization and railroads, in their construction, would find far fewer obstacles either in Parlia- mentary opposition or in the expense of land-very differeni from whatsimilar undertakings experience in this country. The Government, indeed, opposed railroads undertaken by the State, on the ground of expense, and interference with private speculation. But in the insecure state of Ireland, it was pecu- liarly the business of the State to lead the way. He looked also to systematic colonization and to industrial education, or training, so as to accustom the people to skilled labour. But all this would be useless without soothing the wounded pride andfeetingsof the people of Ireland. It was not inhuman nature that they could view composedly the relative positions of the Roman Catholic and Protestant Churches—even the Pres- byterian Church in Ireland, not established, received an an- nual sum from the State. The professors of the Catholic reli- gion in that country had been treated with contumely and in- sult and tbe people of England should well consider the con- sequences of going to war for the sake of maintafting such a system. Repeat the insulting clauses in the Emanci'plion Act, by which they are stigmatised as idolaters, and their bishops de- "'•k t> °Se °f ePist:oPal > °Pen a diplomatic intercoutse with Rome, and send there a distinguished Catholic Dob.'eman; and deal with the property of the Irish Established Church. On the abandonment of the appropriation clause, he had warned them that the question would be re opened; and it was so now. The tithe rent charge was national property,and ought to be applied to national purposes-the education of the feeopls in religion, placed in the hands of commissioners and equita- bly distributed, so as to correct th* Wrong and outrage of which the people complained. On the subject of the franchise, he was glad to find that the Government were manifesting that a late repentance was better than none. But their conduct on the reform of municipal corporations was a signal example of the short-sightedness of party warfare, inasmuch as what might have been a boon they converted into a fiesh grievance. He was of opinion that the Lord-Lieutenancy of Ireland might be abolished. for power and responsibility erenow incobVeniently and unequally ivided between the Lord-Lieutenant and the Home Secretary there was kiso another inconvenience-that the Lord-Lieutenant 3 household comprised a number of idle Officers, whose only business was to fetch apd carry tittle-tattle and party new.

Mi1 Gaily Knight was willing to give the Catholics all he could get for them but be it bigotry, or what you please, the people of England and Scotland had made up their minds, and any attempt to subvert the Established Church in Ireland, would not only cost any minister his place, but even the Sovereign the Crown. (Hear, hear.) He hoped that Sir Robert Peel woftld keep the middle course in his policy- avoiding extremes. Sir Benjamin Hall considered that the Government did not dare to put down the igitstion in Ireland for two reasons- fear of the Orangemen, and fear of Mr O'Connell. (Cheers.) He exhorted to conciliation. and considered the opposition was justified in obatructing the Arms Bill; till they ascertained the intention of government. Lord'ocefyn condemned the agitation, felt that something must be done to abate the alarm which it c and to pre- serve the peace, and declared that he h^d too good ?n opinion of his Roman Catholic countrymen to think »^.at they would be parlies to any meastir* fti the spoliation of the church. He concurred with the opinions which had been expressed about public works, and the promotion of industry but the agitation, by disturbing tranquillity, drove capital from the country. The objects of the Repeal Association were revolutionary, and juf- ficiently warranted the resistance of the motion. The debate was then adjourned. TUEBDAY> JULY 11. The adjourned debate on the grievances of Ireland motion was resumed by Mr. M. j O'Connell. The hon. member repeated much that had been said before, without adding any- thing new Mr. Sirtyth ascribed th* difficulty of Ireland not So much to the popery of that country as to the no-popery of England. Ife regretted that Sir R. Peel had not taken some occasion since his acccession to office to remove all the restrictions that yet remained to the Roman Catholics, and that he had not in- creased the grant to Maynooth. He called on the government to come forward with large measures of conciliation, such as those proposed by Lord Howick and Lord John Manners. The honourable member concluded a speech that was hailed by the opposition with extraordinary cheering, by denouncing minis- ters^or hot being prepared to grapple with danger or meet a great emergency, but for remaining the inactive attendants on public events. Mr. Hawes, Mr. Crawford, and Mr. Ross supported Mr. O'Brien's motion. Mr. Bateson opposed it. Sir R. Peel followed in a speech respectable iri length, me- thodical in arrangement, uttered ivith great suavity of voice And manner full of doubts, and pregnant of fears, but lamen- tably wanting in determination, explicit in few points, unsatis. factory in all. He began by proving that Mr. O'Brien scom- plaints of the parsimonious spirit of the Imperial Parliament towards Ireland since the Union, and of the inequality of tax- ation were totally groundless. The right hon. bart. then went through the grievances, social, political, land religious, under which the advocates of the motion contended Ireland laboured. He was willing to consider any propositions that could be brought forward, tending to settle the differences between land- lord and tenant, provided a legitimate legislative remedy could be applied to such complicated matters, which he feared could not be discovered. Lord J. Russell described the premier's speech as more wor- thy an opposition member minutely dissecting the plans of go- vernment than that of a great minister, able and bold enough to propound measures of his own equal to the great emergency that had arisen. After pointing out the different courses that the Government might have taken, the noble lord thus too truly described that adopted Another course, is that on which the government relies, namely, that of doing nothing —of proposing no measures-of waiting to hear what other members have to say—to talk of one having made a doubtful proposal-of another having thrown out a plausible suggestion that required consideration-of a third having proposed a plan which would only give satisfaction lor a moment-and resolv. ing that, on the whole, it is better to stand still and see the re- sult. This is a course which adds to the alarm which is felt at the consequences of what is going on, because it argues a want of capacity and energy, and an inability to understand what the times and the present disturbances demand to be done." The noble lord likewise thanked Sir H. Peel for his very kind forbearance in not using his parliamentary majorily to pass the Registration of Voters Bill, but gave him little credit for his consistency in and out of office and then entered into a con- sideration of the various propositions submitted to the bowse. The noble lord thus concluded —" It is for this house, as the right hon. gentleman has said, to decide on the immediate question before the chair but let him not think that by put- i ting the mere ministerial question, Have you confidence in the government!'—a question that brings down to its assistance all that was yet doubtful as to the course to be pursued—who are yet unwilling tolput themselves in opposition to the govern- ment-he will put an end to the present subject of considera- tion. The arguments of the government-the temper of the government-the fear, which I must say, a Secretary of State has exhibited—perhaps I may be allowed to call it a magnani- mous fear, will make people reflect on the present condition o Ireland and they must-they will-be forced to take into con- sideration the state of Ireland with regard to this country. Who knows what will be the effect produced in our foreign af- fairs. Who knows how soon the attempt of Louis XIV. and of Napoleon to place a member of the French dynasty on the throne of Ireland may be again attempted 1 We are now on friendly terms with the United States. I hope and believe that those friendly terms will be continued and will be increased. But see! there again the Irish Repealeis have proposed to disturb your Canadian frontier for the purpose ot weakening your strength in Ireland-and if the people ponder, as they will, they must come to the conclu:ion that if you arc—1 will not say conciliatory—I will not say benevolent 'but if you are merely just, you will be invincible; if you hesitate you will place youiselves in peril; if you act unjustly, the consequences of all injustice will rightly follow your decision." On the motion of Mr. Blewitt, the debate was then adjourned at three o'clock.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT MANCHESTER- MANCHESTER, MONDAY EvENHiG.—Thj most destructive conflagration that has occurred in this town for a considerable period, took place at an early hour this morning, when the whole of the extensive warehouse occupied by Messrs. Nightingale and Co., in whi#h was stored npwards of 1>0UU bales of cotton, and about 300 sacks of flour, was. with its con- tents, totally destroyed. Ihs warehouse in question was situ- ated near to a vacant plot of ground, and well known in j "j chaster as Granby-iow-field, and fortunately stood detac"e from any other buildings. being bounded on the east side by an arm of the Rochdale canal, on the west by Zara-street, And having coal-yards at the north and sooth ends. The building was five stories in height; its length was twenty yards, and its width nineteen. The occupiers, Messrs. Mightingale and are carriers by water between Liverpool and Manchester; the warehouse was filled with goods belonging to different ma. nufacturers in the town and neighbourhood. The fire was first perceived about 15 or 20 minutes after six o'clock this morning, by some persons who were passing along Zara-street, on their way to wOlk, and whose attention was at- tracted by the sight of flames issuing from two of the windows in the third story of the building. At that time there was no person on the premises, the hands usually employed there not having gone to work. Tbe alarm being conveyed to the police yard, wnicn is at tbe distance of about three-quarters of a mile, Mr. Rose, the actIVe superintendent ol the fire police, immediately dispatctiea tour large engines, each with its complement of firemen, to 1 e spot. Owing to the extremely combustible nature of the matenals with which the building was filled, the progress of tile flames was inconceivably rapid and by the time the en gmt's arrived, which was very shortly after the alarm was given, the »°o fallen in, and tbe fire was raging from the bottom to tbe top 01 the building, the only part which appeared to be free from its ravages being the counting-house, which is situate on the ground floor, at the south-west corner of the warenouse. Mr. Bose lost no time in disposing the engines to the 8rea- advantage, and the proximity of the canal afforded a cap' supply of water. On the other side of the canal, immedtatety opposite the burning building, was a vacant plot of groun in which two of the engines were stationed and these played with great effect upon the back of the premises. At this time the flames rose to a tremendous height, and, the ground being high, were seen to a great distance in all directions and alarm thus produced soon brought together a vast concourse o people. It was soon evident that nothing could save the build- ing, for in about forty minutes from the arrival of tbe eng'nes> it was completely gutted, and the walls began to give symptoms of falling. One of the engines was, at this time, stationed in the coal yard, on the south of the building; fortunately Mr. Rose perceived that tbe wall was giving way, and ordered t e men to remove the engine. This was no sooner done than the wall fel I with a tremendous crash, covering the very spot where the engine and men bad been employed. The other walls fell in succession, the east wall falling into the canal, which is par- tially blocked up with biicks and bales of smouldering cotton. The amount of damage, as yet, cannot be exactly ascertained but the value of the materials in the building could not, it is stated, be less than £ 12,000 and the building itself is estimated at batween £ 2,000 and £ 3,000. Amongst the parties to whom portions of the cotton belonged are Mr. Bailey and Mr. Ashton, and others whose names have not yet transpired. Most of these gentlemen have floating po- licies of the respective amounts of their goods, which are in- sured in different offices, but we understand the offices on which the heaviest loss will fall are the West of England, the Man- chester, the Sun, the Phctnix, and the Imperial. It is probable that not more than a few hundred pounds worth of the property, at the utmost, will be rescued from the ruins. The building is insured for £2000. At present not the remotest idea can be formed as to the way in which the fire originated. EARL GRET.-The answer Tuesday was, that the noble eail had a good night, and was going on favourably.

HEREFORD MECHANICS' INSTITUTION. Public curiosity in this city and neighbourhood has been kept alive for the last fortnight, in consequence of the announce- ment that Sir S. Rush Meyrick, K.H., L.L.D., F.A.S., &c., president of the above Institute, intended to commence a series of lectures on the History of England. Monday last was fixed for. the delivery of tbe introductory lecttife, when the anxiety bf the public to avail themselves of the privilege of free admission, was unexampled in the annals oftheinstitute. So great, indeed, was the attraction, that the room, from the number of applicants for tickets, might have beentwicefiOed. The lecture was delivered in the Hotel Room, which, prior to the entrance of Sir Samuel, was densely crowded, every nook and corner being occupied by one of the most respectable assemblages ever congregated within its walls. The ladies— who in this locality are invariably judicious patronesses of lec- tures-s-assembied in Attractive and goodly tiutnbefs. The ele- gance and vaiiety of their costumes, to say nothing for the mo. ment of their natural charms, their grace and beauty, gave an an embeHithment to the scene, which will no be easily or soon obliterated from the recollection of those present. At the hour named, Sir Samuel entered the room, and his appearance was most rapturousiy applauded. Having, with a little difficulty, owing to the crowded state of the room, gained access 19 the nlatform. he was greeted with renewed manifesta. tions of esteem and respect. The lecture embraced a succinct history of this country from the earliest ages cjowo to the Conquest- The ability and elo- quence with which the various incidents were narrated and de- scribed, were entitled to the highest praise. The learned lec- turer freely spoke of the rapacity of certain clerical parties in their exactions of tithes, and other matters, which were consi- dered by him deserving of censure or rebuke. There was no mincing of words Or phrases, and these points told upon some of the andiehce, who coincided in the justice of the strictures. A very faithful copy of the Bazenas tapestry was exhibited At the back of the platform, and was much admired. It covered a large space, and extended several feet in height and breadth. The principal objecis represented in this celebrated specimen of ladies' needlework, were described and pointed out by the lecturer towards the close. Charles Anthony, Esq, moved a vote of thanks to Sir Samuel Meyrick, for his able, eloquent, and very instructive lecture. Being seconded, the vote of thanks was responded to with general approval. Two or three members addressed the meeting on local topics closely connected with the Institute after which the meeting separated, all, we venture to affirm, looking forward to the next lecture with pleasurable anticipation.

DESTRUCTION OF BOLGOED TOLL HOUSE & BAR, GLAl\10ltGAJIISIIIRE. At about a quarter to twelve on Thuisday night last, a party consisting of about two hundred men on foot, headed by Re- becca arrayed all in white and who rode a white horse, were seen approaching this bar from the direction of Pontardulais. The object of their visit was easily surmised, and the inhabitants of the ft'w houses in the neighbourhood apparently apprehen- sive of danger, retired within doors. Rebecca advanced to the toll house and demanded admittance, which having been given she directed a few of her troop to carry out the toll collector's goods and chatties to the side of the load, and to protect them from injury till they had completed the object of their mission. She then gave: the word of command for a total demolition of the house and bar, and actually, we aie assured, within five minutes the bar was cut to pieces, the house in ruins, and the whole party in full retreat. During the time they were engaged at work a portIon of their gang kept firing guns and huzzaing.

THUNDER-STORM IN THE NORTH. TIT (From the Aberdeen Herald of Saturday.) J nis part of the country was visited on Wednesday evening by one of the most terrific storms of thunder and lightning that we nave ever witnessed. Throughout the fore part of the day it was warm, but somewhat rough and hazy. The wind changed frequently, veering from south-west to east and north and the barometer, which had been wavering rather low for several days previous, sank—the rapidity of its fall increasing as the evening approached, till, at 9 P.M., the column indicated 29 deg.55 mm., at 50 feet above half tide-level. Throughout the after- noon, one or two indistinct peals of thunder were heard far to the southward, but. during the earlier part of the evening, peal after peal, each nearer than its predecessor, rolled on in quick succession. About eight o'clock, the war of the elements com- tnanced in earnest. The lightning flashed so unintermittently that. at times, before the thunder peils that followed it had rolled a.way, another sheet of flame illuminated the whole murky horizon. The storm continued at this rate for about two hours, accompanied at first by a smart shower, that grew heavier and heavier, till at length it became a perfect deluge, falling in II whole water," flooding the streets and the ground apartments of low-lying houses to a very considerable extent. In one house, in Wallacenook, the water from the street was "knee deep," and the furniture floating in the apartments. So heavy, indeed, was the shower, that, on examination of a rain guage, it was found that the enormous quantity of one inch and a half of water had fallen in the short space of three hours. But had no more injury than what was done by the rain taken place on that evening, it would have been more than counterbalanced by the benefit that was received by the parched crops. We are sorry to say, however, that the more powerful element of the storm has seared on more hearts than one—a melancholy memorial that neither time nor change will serve entirely to efface of that awful night. Several lives have been lost, and there are reports that have not yet been authenticated of other accidents of a like nature. A girl of the name of Paterson, residing in York-street, Footdee, was struck by the hghtmng. and thrown into a state of insensibility, deprived of faculty, in which melancholy state she continued till yes- terday forenoon, when she breathed hei last. Another indivi- dual, whose name we have not heard, a teacher of music, near, Udny, was struck dead on his way home from his class-room. l ne unfortunate man was travelling between two others at the time, but neither of these was injured by the blow that so sud- denly stretched their companion among the clods of the valley, some others narrowly escaped, and a few losses of less impor- tance than the loss of life have, it seems, been likewise caused by the same agency.

IRELAND. fi. rJ?A^AL REPARATIONS AT COVE. n 1 r F ow.lnS letter, from the London correspondent of the Dublin Kvenuig Post) shows that extensive arrangements are in progress or the victualling of a fleet at that station — ONDON, 'HURSDAY NIGIIT.—Your information, respecting the real object of the imval armament at Cove, is likely to prove correct. J-arge quantities of provisions and naval stores are shipping or that place. At this moment one of the splendid Peninsular Company's steamers, of 1,000 tons is taking in provisions and stores for Cove. All this must, I think, be done wlthru Z n measures in Spain.

A provincial paper says, "Ireland never yet displayed the filling of a more splendid or a larger wheat crop than the present season is fast preparing for the sickle." The diminution of cr.me in Ireland is apparent in all the calendars for the approaching assizes, notwithstanding the insurrectionary character of the returns trumped up for Sir James Graham, to aid the passing of the Irnh « Arms Bill.

IjTlrlE IViElMJM]| NEWPORT, FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1843. THE GREAT DEBATE ON IRELAND. Notwithstanding the variotis excuses and defences made for the Irish Church Establishment by its sup- porters in Parliament, we think it is clear to all un- prejudiced men, that from the tone of most of the independent members of the House of Commons of both parties, that its days are numbered, that in spite of the assistance of Sir Robert Peel, who holds that its downfall Involves that of the Eng- lish Establishment, and that the English people, would prefer civil war to seeing its overthrow, a sentence of doom has gone forth against it. Of the two admitted causes of Irish agitation, namely the existing relations between landlord and tenant, and the Church Establishment, it is obvious that the latter will be remedied by the common sense of the nation, sooner or later, and all we hope, as advocates of peace, is, that the remedy may be applied before the concession comes too late. Had the revenues of the church been curtailed by the appropriation clause, to their just and fit- ting dimensions, the repeal agitation might never have assumed its present alarming height. The monopoly of the whole of a nation's revenue, dispo- sable for religious purposes, to a minority of eight hundred thousand out of eight millions, is, on the face of it, a scandalous and indefensible in- iquity. It seems to us to revolt both the pro- fessed spirit of Protestantism and the genius of Curistianity itself. For what is the sole argu- ment of the advocates of the Irish Establishment ? Is it not this that the church in that country is a sort of clerical garrison, kept there as an assistant to the Orange yeomanry, the absentee landlords, and the constables. Is not this, we ask, to degrade the church to a level with the Irish Arms Bill, to make it part and parcel of loop-holed barracks and fortified Dublin Castles. Of all the low and degrading estimates of reli- gion and its ministers, we take it, this is the worst. Protestantism asserts the right of free enquiry- the right of every man to seek eternal happiness according to the lights of bis own consience, and the doctrines of his Bible, but this anomalous Irish Establishment state is to convert it into an inquisi- tion. Will the people of England fight to main- tain a system so repugnant to their sense of justice, and their common sense ? Will they be prepared to see the Boyne running once more red with blood" as the madmen and bigots of Orangeism demand with out-cries, or will they sooner listen to the bowlings of wild beasts. We believe that Sir Robert Peel laboured under a great delusion when he asserted that England was prepared to go to war for the Irish Establishment, from a feeling that its ovetthrow involved that of the English Church. Englishmen are neither such bigots nor such blockheads as to rush into a civil war in defence of a position so utterly indefensible, and we beg leave to say that it would be an insult to assert that the Church of England's stability depends on that of an Establishment which must be supported by the bayonet. All the verbiage of Sir Robert Peel amounted to a confession that he would do nothing to remedy Irish grievances that existing things were quite right and proper. What, let us ask, does all this avail in the face of the shocking fact reported by the Parliamentary commission on Irish railways, that the people of three provinces, and part of a fourth, were reduced to live upon a species of potato far less nutritious, as an article of diet, than a Swedish turnip, and which in England would not be thought fit food for swine. While this is go- ing on, and absentees, as we before said, are screw- ing rents of three and four pounds per acre out of wretched beings, whom oppression and hopeless pe- nury render desperate, can we wonder that Ire- land is on fire end to end ?

On Sunday last, the Rev. Mr. Waite, of Bristol, preached two eloquent sermons at the Tabernacle Independent chapel, on the anniversary of that place of Divine Worship. Very full congregations attended, and evinced their approba- tion of the rev. gentleman's ministration by a fixed attention to the eloquence and beauty of the discourses, and by liberal col- lections at the close. A tea party was held at the Town Hall on Mon- day afternoon last, in celebration of the anniversary of the Tabernacle Independent chapel, in this town, on which occa. sion, R. Mullock, Esq, mayor, presided. The assembly was not very numerous, but the enjoyments of the evening were of the most pleasing kind, and afforded unmixed delight. The Rev. J. Waite, of Bristol, whose instruction of a musical class, comprising nearly every denomination of Dissenters in Newport, was lately attended with such striking results, ad- dressed the assembly in a speech replete with excellence o! style and appropriateness of matter; and was followed by the tuneful voices of a large number of the audience, in singing appropriate hymns to tunes selected for the occasion. The Mayor, the Rev. Mr Gillman, minister of the chapel, and the Rev. Mr Davies, of Highbury College, London, also delivered excellent speeches, which elicited much applause. The singing was marked by a high degree of excellence which, previous to the lectures of the Rev. Mr. Waite, in Newport, had never been a'.tained and the rich treat it afforded to all who listened, will long be remembered. The receipts on the occasion were to be added to a fund contributed by the ladies of the Taber- nacle chapel, towards the liquidation of the debt on that place of worship. We have been informed that a singing class, upon the Hullah system, as recently taught by the Rev. Mr. Waite, in this town, has been formed in the English Baptist Sunday school, Commercial-street. The class commenced on Wednes- day evening, and numbered upwards of fifty. Mr. Theophilus Morris,—one of the honorary secretaries of the Institute,—has kindly undertaken the office of teacher and there is no doubt but that under his able and excellent tuition, the class will speedily attain a mastery of the sweet science of singing. We hope the example thus set, will be followed by all the Sabbath schools in Newport. A potatoe of the prolific class, lately turned out a produce of eIghty. one, in a garden on Stow HIli. This was indeed "prolific." An accident of a frightful nature, but which, hap- pily, did not prove fatal, occurred on board a schooner lying at the Moderator wharf, in this port, on Tuesday evening last. It appears that the schooner Venus was discharging oats, and that John Boyce, one of the seamen belonging to the schooner, was upon a stage, erected for the purpose of carrying the cargo ashore. While employed upon this stage, which was at a great height above the deck, Boyce, by an accident, slipped his foot, and fell with terrible violence on the deck. When the poor fellow was picked up, it was discovered that his left arm was almost smashed, being broken in two or three places, and his skull was cut and bruised in a frightful manner. He was im- mediately taken to the Seamen's Hospital in Charles-street, and under the skilful treatment of the surgeon, there are hopes of his speedy recovery. At the last committee meeting of the Newport Mechanics' Institute, on Tuesday evening, it was resolved that immediate application should be made to several gentlemen in the town and neighbourhood, to deliver lectures to the members and friends of the Institute. It is somewhat surprising that in a district containing so many gentlemen with great abilities and much leisure, and a Mechanics' Institute with so large a num- ber of members, so few lecturers should be found anxious to disseminate their knowledge amongst the less.cultivated portion of society. We hope the applications about to be made, will be successfully met. DR. BAINES.—On Thursday morning last, the interment of the distinguished and much lamented Dr. Baines, the Bishop of Siga, took place at Prior Park, near Bath. It was one of the most solemn ceremonies ever performed in this part of the kingdom.
