NEWBBISGE CHURCH. rrHE COMMITTEE frfr^upeiintend n^the Erec- 1 tion of GLYN TAFF (NEWURIOGE) CHURCH, are compelled to make a further appeal to Christian benevolencc for this appeal they will briefly state the reasons. The ground for the Church was the gift of B. Flail, Esq., M. P. It was supposed from the nature of the soil, not only that a sure foundation would be gained, but that stone sufficient for the building would be pro- cured. In this expectation the Committee were disap- pointed, and a quarry was opened at an additional cost of .£200. The Contract was scarcely signed when ma- terials and labour advanced 10 per cent, causing a further expence of £200. 'Hie objects for which funds are now required are, making the approaches to the Church, hnddin a boundary wall—and securing the congrega- tion from the dagger and inconvenience of damp, by a -a, in air apparatus. On this simple statement of facts, the Committee feel assured that the Christian lib-rality which enabled them so speedily to commence the wprk. and carry it oil thus far, will not fail them for its completion.

TOTAL WRECK OF THE KILLAIiNEY…
TOTAL WRECK OF THE KILLAIiNEY STEAMER (PLYING BETJYEEN BRISTOL AND CORK) AND LOSS OF LIVES. iarj*i (From the Cork Southern Reporter of Tuesday.) This ill-fated vessel left the Qllay in this river at nine o'clock A M. on Friday last. The weather, as our readers may recollect, was very severe on that morning, with frost and snow, and the wind blo ving fresh from the East. SlIe had ;;ot down b'lt a little below Pass ge, when, anticipating and preparing .for the weather that was outside, the carpenter got directions to fasten do>\ n the dead lights, which was partially done, but one being stiff or out of order, could not be managed. The vessel then proceeded to sea, it being observed by persons on the beach of Cove that she went very slowly, and was greatly out of trim. This, however, may he easily ac- counted for, as sheNiad over six hundred pigs on her deck. After getting out of the harbour the fall of snow became heavier, which made it qui'e impossible for any of the passengers to remain above, and even the Captain and such of the crew as it was necessary should be in motion could hardly keep their legs. The snow and wind were increasing and the Captain was asked whether he would not try and make Youghal, but he said lie dared not near 'he land, which was completely obscured by the snow. Some little time after, being then, perhaps, about twelve miles from the harbour, the Captain deteimined to put back, and wearing the ship. which she did well, though there was a report that in doing so she was in great danger, she bore 11p tor the harbour, which she entered at one o'clock, having left it at ten, and ran up as far as White-point, where she dropped an- chor. Here two of the cabin passengers, Richard Callaghan, Esq., brother to the city Member, and Mr Nicolay, an officer ot the 99th Regiment, came on shore, the lormer bringing with him his luggage, but the latter left his on board. Mr Callaghan abandoned the ship altogether and came home; but Mr Nicolay returned to her, and at five o'clock p.m. she again left the harbour, the weather, as we learn, having in no degree moderated. On Sunday, at about eltven o'clock, a messenger reached town, dispatched by Mr Galway, of Fort Richard, to the Agents of the St George Steam Packet Company, communicating the disastrous intelligence of the total loss of the steamer upon one of the rocks called the Rennie's, about two miles from Robert's Ciove, where she had gone to pieces, and that several persons, of the crew or passengers, were discernible on the rock, but with whom it was impossible to communicate, the sea running so high that no boat or craft could live in it, and the roaring of the surge being so great that no voice could reach it. The most intense anxiety, as may be easilv imagined, pervaded the city all day Sunday, and to the enquiries respecting the persons who had taken their passage, and did not,like Mr Callaghan, leave the vessel after her return to Cove, the information that could be obtained waS very vag-ue. It was ascertained, however, that Mr Robert Law, an extensive coal merchant, and Mrs Law two young Gentlemen of the name of Foster, sons of the late Clement Foster, Esq." of B z, Ilyinaloo, and nL-ptie,, of Mr Cuthbert Kearney, ol Garrettstown Mr Collis, sonof Wm. Cooke Coll is, Esq.; Dr.Spolasco, and his son, about seven or eight years of age Mr and Mrs Morrissey, respectable traders, we hear, who resided in Mallow La ne, and illr Nicolay, the officer already alluded to, "e ttie c bin Passengers. There was also on board a frietK^ot the Captain's, oc the name we believe of Collins; he was lame, and had come over from Bristol with him on the preceding Wednesday. The number of steerage passengers Mutduot be learnt with any accuracy but it was satisfactory to be assured by persons who were at the Packet Olfice on Friday morning, when the Killurney was leaving, that tilev were very few. Having, as we have stated above, proceeded to sea at 5 p M. on Friday eveiiiiig, the unfortunate vessel got as far as Youghal, when one ot the pipes of the engine became choked, which filled the engine-room with water and put out the fires. She thus got totally unmanageable, and the Captain attempted to put her before the wtnd, but her sails, were blown to atoms, and she drilled at the mercy of the waves past this harbour, the galeall the time increasing, and about four ° c'ock on Saturday evening struck on the rocks called the Rennie s, to westward of Roberts's Cove, and became a total wreck. When the ve>sel first struck, 29 persons got on the rock, where they retnained until Sunday morning before any assistance could be rendered them! Our respectable fe'low-citizen, Mr Law, was drowned wllea the vessel struck: Mrs Law ot on the rock, but was washed away on Saturday night. Sunday morning set in rather favourably, and Mr Gal" ey, of Fort Richard, Mr Hu'l, Mr Knowles,and almost all the neighbouring gentry were early on the spot. Mr Conway and Mr Robinson, of the St Georgo Steam Packet Company, were also in attendance, when every exertion that skill and courage could call into action was used to save the attendance, when every exertion that skill and courage could call into action was used to save the unfortunate people, who were so near that their voices could now be easily distinguished, but from want of any means toreach them all hope of saving them was given liP; when Mr Hull and MxGalwey suggested the plan of passing a line from one head- land to another, which would fall on the rook where the people were. This plan, with some difficulty was carried into effect, and the line reached the people- but they being too ealef, t,,vo of them got on the rope together, when it broke. and the poor fellows met a watery grave. Night now setting in, the parties on shore were obiiged reluctantly to give up their exertions, and leave the poor people to spend another dreadful night on the rock. The next morning Mr Galwev, Mr Hull, Mr Knowles, Mr Conway, and Mr Robinson were early on the spot, aided by the Water Guard, commanded by Captain Irving and Mr Charlestown, who had procured Captain Manby's apparatus from Kinsale; but on trying, the shot fell short of the rock. Mr Galwey's plan described above was then again tried, and with complete success, when the rope was passed to them with a basket containing some food, and a note from Mr Conway, telling them how to place the hawser; and here an instance of noble self-devotion was shown by the poor sufferers, who with one accord, although starving themselves, handed the basket to the captain, who divided it amongst them, first supplying a poor woman, the only female that survived. A cot was then passed along the hawser from the cliff to the rock, and each of the people, the woman first, were safely landed their names are- Baron Spolasco. ) r, • n > L/abiu Passencers.

They were immediately wrapped in warm blankets, provided for them by Lady Roberts, (who was most unremitting in her attention), and conveyed to the neighbouring houses, where they had medical skill, and every other attention paid them, which their desolate condition called for. Mrs. and Miss Gal«ey, of Fort Richard, too, were actively and humanely engaged io attending to the sufferers. There is no vestige of the vessel, with the exception of the boilers. Twenty-five persons met a watery grave. We should observe, that one of the young Mr. Fosters who left the quay in the morning in the Killttrnay, went out at Passage, having only gone on board to see his brother off, who, and young Mr Collis, were under instruction by Mr Richard Beamish, the engineer, and were going over to him. It is said that Mr Foster gained the rock, but slipped, und fell into the sea. his young friend making a fruitless effort to save him. The crew were nearly all from the neighbourhood of Bristol. The cargo consisted principally of flour, butter, leather, and pigs, and must have been valuable. Of the pigs, of which there were 650 on board, Hit) belonged to the Messrs Adams,of Black- pool 200 to a poor man named Michael Murphy, who some time ago lost 3„0 on board one of the London vessels, and 70 to a woman of the name of Sullivan. The rock against which the luckless vessel struck or swung is in the centre of a bay, formed by jutting promontories at either side, which ap- pear a mile asunder. It is about 250 yards from the clitt; which is quite perpendicular, and 300 yards above the sea. At this very place the entire Light Company and band of the 32d regiment were lost during the American war.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. a ( Continued from our~last page.) IIOUSI OF LORDS.—MONDAY. Lord Ashbur'on and Lord Western took the oaths to- day, and subscribed the rolls of Parliament. Lord ELLEN BO ROUGH moved for some further accounts relative to Canada, after communicating with Lord Glenela across the tallf- Agreed to. Lord A SlI nu RTON presented petitions for the reduction of duties on letters, from Kingston-upon- Huil, Edinburgh, Irvine, Aiistrtittier West, and other places. The subject was one which had excited great attention in the country, and he hoped that ministers would give their serious attention to it. The Noble Lord also presented two petitions from the Chamber of Commerce in Manchester, and the Society for the Protection of Trade in Liverpool, against cer- tain provisions in the Imorisonincnt for Debt Abolition Bill. Referred to the sclect committea. The Earl of MINTO presented two petitions for a diminution of the Post-office charge upon letters, from Hawick, and another place likewise a petition in favour of the vote by ballot. CANADA. The Duke, of WELLINGTON wished to know from the Noble Viscount opposite, what course would be taken by him, as regarded fixing the day for the second reading of the Canada Bill, which stood in the Com- mons' votes of that evening for the third reading ? Their Lordships would not sit to-morrow, he apprehended, and it might be convenient to know on what day the second reading of the Bill was.intended to be moved. Viscount MELBOURNE said lie was anxious that the measure should be considered by the House with as little delay as possible, on account of the great importance of the subject; and whether the Bill came up to the House that evening or on Wednesday, he should name Friday for taking the second reading. SLAVE APPRENTICESHIP. The Marquis of LANSDOVVNE pr sented a petition for the abolition of slave apprenticeship. Lord BROUGHAM said he held on his hand a peti- tion signed by between 16,000 and 17,000 persons, and he could answer of his own knowledge for the respecta- bility of a great many whose names were among the signatures. The petition conveyed the unanimous opinions of the numerous body who had signed it. The petitioners had an undoubted right for believing that, after the very large sum of money which had been granted by way of compensation, the planters would have carried into effect their part of contract. That sum of money, which was voted by Parliament and a confiding country, was given under a firm belief that it would produce the effect intended, otherwise he was fully persuaded not a million of money, not one pound, not a sinle farthing ever would have been granted not unless it had been imagined that it was necessary by way of compensation. It had turned out that no loss ha<l been sustained, but actual gain, and the proprietors of slave property had had that twenty millions as a com- pensation for a profit, and not for a loss their property had now actually increased in value by the abolition of slavery. The petitioners prayed their lordshIps that the negro slave, under the form of indenture apprentice- ship, should be freed as soon as possible, and they prayed the House to fix the 1st day of August, 1838, as the period when the apprenticeship should cease. The Noble and Learned Lord then laid the petition upon the table but did not state whence It came; he would take. he said, that opportunity of stating what he should do, when he presented a petition which he had from Leeds to the same effect, as well as thirteen others from diffe- rent parts of the country, all having a similar prayer, as regarded this important subject, as soon as the more pressing matters of Canada should be out of that House, in one way or another. He should fix an early day he hoped it would not be later than a week or ten days, for submitting a proposition which he hoped would enable their Lordships to accede to the prayer of the numerous petitioners to whom he had alluded. Lord MINTO vindicated the conduct of the navy, de- clarin that if any officers could havr omitted to search vessels suspected of being slavers, where tha riirht. of search existed, it was a high offence; but he did not believe that inny thing of the kind cotilt be proved. Lord BROUGHAM also moved pursuant to notice, for various returns on the subject of the slave trade, and for the order in council of July last, relative to the ap- prenticeship of natives of India Lord GLENELG said that the foreign secretary was now engaged in negotiation with Portugal to 'carry into effect the object of Ihe Noble Lord. -All admitted the extent of the horrors that existed but he did not think that they were traceable to the system of head- money. It was the earnest "ish of the Government to bring the matter to a satisfactory conclusion. The papers were then ordered. Lord HEDESDALE moved for copies of despatches from Sir T. Campbell, the governor of Nova Scotia. Lord GLENELG declined to produce the papers, but expressed himself reatly to give the dates, &c.; and with the information promised, Lord Itedesdale e-preised hisnself content. Their Lordships then adjourned till Wednesday. "4># HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MOVDAY. Mr WAfvLT.Y', after having presented petitions on the subject of the sentence on the Glasgow cotton- spinners, gave notice, that to-morrow week he should bring forward his promised motion regarding this case. Colonel SIBTHORP moved for return1; of payments to the Stamp-office, for duty on tire and life insurances, the expense of collecting, See. Sir if. IS'GLIS presented a petition from Leeds, with die signatures of 34 clergymen, complaining of the operation upon their conscicnces of a clause in the Mar- riage Act, requiring them to sin certificates of the marriage of parties who viewed that contract as a civil and not a religious ceremony. Lord J. HUSSELL rsyaved, in consequence of the state of business, that the House at its rising do adjourn to Friday next; which was agreed to. Lord J. RUSSELL then moved the third reading of the Lower Canada Government Hill, upon which, however, the House divided, after observations from Sir G. Sinclair, Mr Hume, Sir R. Inglii, Alr Grote, &c. The numbers were—ayes, 11'0; noes, 8— majo- rity. 102. The Bill, after the proposal of a rider by Sir G. Grey, as to its duration-, giving power to repeal it this session, was then passed, and ordered to the Lords. A new writ was ordered for in the room of Mr Lynch, who, it was understood, has been appointed to the mastership in chancery, vacant by the death of Mr Roupell. The Houte then adjourned to Friday.

LA TEST INTEL LIG ENCE. IMPORTANT FROM CANADA. (From the Standard of Thursday evening, February 1.) The Times has published a second edition, the more recent part of which we take leave to extract from the columns of that journal (From the New York Weekly Herald of Satur- day evening, January 6.) The Evening Herald contains always the latest intelligence from the seat of war, on the Niagara frontier. We have now special cor- respondents at Buffalo, Rochester, and Albany, throughout the whole line to Navy Island. Our means of information are more perfect and com- plete than any other paper on the Atlantic sea- board. When the northern and western mails are too late for the first evening edition, we invariably publish a second edition, at four o'clock. Just as we were going to press we received the following" hig-illy important dispatch from our special correspondent at Albany;— "ATTACK ON NAVY ISLAND.—CAPTUHED BY THE mtrriHii. Alhany, Jan. 3, Dear Sir,-As you may suppose, all sorts of rumours arc rife and current here; but there is one lately reached us by a gentleman- direct from Iiuffalft, to which considerable credence is given. It is more nor less than that an attack has bcell made on Navy Island on New Year's-day, by the British regu- lar troops and Loyalist volunteers, headed by Colonel M'Nab, and that under cover of a severe cannonad- ing from the Chippewa side, they finally effected a landing. Some severe fighting is said to have taking place, which resulted in the Loyalists obtaining pos- session, and remaining masters of the island. It is further stated, that they came down the stream hug- ging the shore of Grand Islsuid close, and so ejected a landing on that part of Wivy Island immediately covered by the east end of Grand Island Such is the rumour — which I send to you for what it is worth. %Ve -.ire all excitement here, but this excitement does not manifest itself in any particular outburst of public feeling; but rather in a silent, sullen, settled determination of vengeance, for the atrocious act of butchery recently perpetrated. It) all parts of the city., young, active, hardy, and daring men may be seen scouring up their riflles, and setting their shot guns in order. There is no longer any concealment of their intentions; no alleged 'hunting or shooting party.' They openly statc that they mean to take dinner at Toronto in two or three weeks. A meeting of citizens was held here yesterday, relative to Canada and the bite outrage. Great excitement prevailed, and Mr L. F. Allen, of Buffalo, was sent for from the I louse of Assembly. lie came, made a short speech, and recommended calm and deliberative conduct till further particulars should arrive as to the behaviour of the British authorities. After which the meeting adjourned till to-morrow, Thursday. Dulee's funeral was attended by nearly 3000 people. Jn coming into town this afternoon I met at east frolll o to 30 men, armed in various ways, and in groupt>3 of various numbers, taking up the I Iiiie of march for the scene of action. 1 send this by a special messenger. In haste." We have Utile doubt that the Albany rumour is well founded. When we expressed our hope a few days ago that Sir F- Head would be able to reduce the rebels bv a blockade, we antici- pated a very different line of conduct on the part of the United States government from that which it has pursued. Indeed, the sole chance. of avoiding ail open war with the States left to Sir Francis, seems to have been the crushing 'he last remains of the rebellion by a coup de main. The House of Lords ineton Wednesday night, when the Canada Bill was brought from the Commons, read a first time, ordered to be printed, and to be read ;1 second time on Friday next.

TO ADVERTISERS. Of all the fallacies that were ever attempted- to be im- posed on public credulity, the Parliamentary refurn" of the number of Stamps issued, as proufs of tli: circu- lation of a paper, is one of the greatest. It is in the power of any Journal with more policy than honesty, to swell the apparent amount of its circulation by a judicious order for Stamps, so as to include the months named in the return. Why did the last return stup at five months? Why was-not December iii- cluded? Our consumption of Stamps is 5,000 month- ly. We have ordered 10,000 each alternate j month the 1,200 teas the repayment of a loan by the Merthyr Chronicle. We have stated facts, and we ref r those who may be disposed either to doubt, or to gratify their curiosity, to Messrs. Pewtress, Low, and Pewtress, stationers, Gracechurch Street, from whom alone our Stamps have been procured.

IimiTHYll TYDVIL, SATURDAY, Fcb. 3, lti'JS. After some interval, in which we have been spared the mention of a name odious to all honest ears, we have to return to O'Connell- What game this unlicensed ruflian intends to play during the Session is known only to him- self; for he certainly does not condescend to give Ministers any further knowledge than what answers the purpose ot his jobs. A part of his I V policy is to let those dependents feel the dis- comfort of his absence; and the consequence is, that poor Lord Melbourne is forced to eat a double share of dinners at Buckingham Palace to keep up his interest with the circle there, and Lord John Russell is pelted, black-balled, and beaten on every occasion. In the meantime, of course Mr O'Connell is screwing up his price calmly, and huxtering with his dandv Lord Lieiftenant for sa:aries of all kinds, and strength- ening the faction. However, this adroit style of settling the na- tional ailairs has Its disadvantages even to the Agitator himself. His element is agitation. He i)iiist I)(,- and I)i-aivllii, triierever lie is, he must be lying and chicaning, tricking a dupe or abasing an oppollent, as long as tardy justice suffers hiin to degrade the character of his country and insult the common sense of mankind. But in England this is a safer game. In the House of Commons men listen with easy con- tempt to every word he utters, suffer him to run on without regarding what he says, and then proceed to their business. Here his strength is neither in his reason nof,"riis folly. Men regard him as Punch, who beats his wife and abuses all the world for the sake of gather- ing a crowd, and the halfpence of that crowd. They talk of him as a vulgar mille, who plays a vulgar part, and is content if he can exact his pay for his absurdities. If lie had not the thirty poor creatures, whom he leads, like a keeper of wild beasts in the cart behind him, he would he no more regarded than any other clamourous fellows, who' mistake noise for argument alizi silent scorn for assent and conviction. But in Ireland the case is different. There, if he quar- rels, he quarrels with a kindred race, less lucky it may be than himself in this world,-involulI- tary sans culottes beggars in purse as much as in principle;—politicians taught in the school of pauperism, and brawling for the rights of na- tions, because they are too idle, too charac ef- less, and too drunk to be able to earn the food of men. O'Connell, in an hour of supreme blockheadism, the fruit of supreme arrogance, has begun a war with these men. lie, whose whole life has been employed in maddening their follies into feroci'y, has now taken up- the trade of mad-doctor, and expects to awe- his half-naked patients by the thunders of lli93 voice and lightnings of his eye." The mounte- bank is astonished that his mummers presume to ape his tricks and practice knavery on their own account. The poltroon who knows every depth of public ingratitude, for he has fathomed them all in person, is astonished that the rabble whom he has pampered so long now refuse to be driven, and insist on driving in their turner fhe late meeting in Dublin deserves to be registered -in the memory of every man who hopes to rise by faction. There O'Connell was roasted in the belly of the brazen bull which he himself taught to roar. He jll vain professed that all his endeavours were to "emancipate the coulltry" from any do- minion of an unfeeling because a foreign- Parliament, and procure their onm" legislature again. This is the echo of Hume's letter to the- Canadian faction. Well done, Messrs Papineau,. • on both sicks of the atlantic It is of Ito use- whatever to repeat that O'Connell in the fl'iuse- of Commons always denies the idea of repeal,, while in Ireland it is his perpetual thenle-his- cheval de battaile. Yet on this occasion his horse; was foundered, and the repealer in spite-of his; profligate application to every bad and matt impulse of the rabble was hooted into silence- It was in vain that he tried ridicule, and abuseit General Napier by the clltting and classic nam of "a d old ruin of a General," (for which, if the Geller II does not desire to show that the name- is well applied, we presume he will demand Mf O'Connell's authority to christen him afresh.) It was iu vain that he promised Ballot, Universal Suffrage, and Short Parliaments—against aotl of which he had voted in Parliament; the rabble' would not be convinced. Not a man of them would endorse the Hill. Not a man of them would suffer himsetf to be either clamoured" down or sneered down. They gave him all- they had to give -tlitiir-scoi-n. But what wilI; Lord John say to this new pledge of repeal Nothing. There is no measure of bitter patience* that can outmeasure the equanimity of that little Lord. His talents may be ridiculous, his- attainments shallow, his manliness effeminate,, and his decision weak as water, but his political, patience is unrivalled. No,-lie will say nothings The British Minister will allow Mr O'ConnelB to go on calling on Ireland to free herself frotm all dominion of England, and call England foreign government, and he will smile on the: man who used the words, thank him for hi* vote, and bury his wrath iu the receipt of hi* quarter's salary.

The Mezentian process of tying tùø dead the living was attempted in a Bill submitted to the Meeting at Merthyr on Wednesday last- To a Bill for the appointment of a Stipendiary Magistrate, with a salary payahle out of al1 equalized rate to be levied upou those who are* to derive protection from his services, there' would have been no objection on the part of those who are the largest contributors to the* rates-the iron masters, though they did objec,t to the rating of the furnaces as under the old* system.

What is the next step? If a word of ours could reach the ear of the Lord LieutenanU whose almost fastidious delicacy has always ill- ducedhim to consult the opinions of the inhabi". tants, who by no possibility will ever be brought to agree, we would request his Lordship to urge upon Ministers a general Bill, which should involve a compulsory enactment for all places containing a certain amount of population, (and who were without a municipal corporatioll) to provide a Stipendiary Magistrate and an effec- tive police, whose salaries should be defrayed by a rate oti the inhabitants.
