THIRTY THOUSAND WOMEN PICKING HOP CUUIOl'S SCENE IS WISCONSON. A Wisconsin paper says Probably in all the his- tory of hop picking, since yeast and lager were in vented, there has been nothing to compare with the scenes that have been going on in this region, and in Kilbourn City especially, for the last six or eight days For two or three weeks the hop-growers have been gathering their supplies, aud the merchants and traders of this place, Baraboo and lieedsburg, have been on the jtiwi), w-titit,g on their customers. The first of last VV« OF week the pieRers began TO come iB, auu WIEIC UIUSB lJ'Ç \1 least thirty thousand lively at work picking the hops of the region that ships tliem at this depot. Of this thirty thousand at least ten thousand pass through th:s villae. Wauou loads of from eight to fifteen each have been iiliii, st constantly passing through town for the last. eight days, generally coming from the north and east and crossing the liver into Sank County. Of tho ten thousand that pass through tliis villuge, about eight thou- sand c >me on the railroad from the east and stop here. The instalment by cars, some three hundred, came last week, Tuesday evening. W ednesday evening nearly one thousand came. Thursday and Friday evenings each tivi- or sis bundled. Saturday afternoon it was i-ii- moured that a very la.r1;e nutUb,r Wle uu the wa', au(\ the rumour was corroboiated by the great number of teams that seemed to be in waiting. About train time (half-past seven) prolnbly about one thousand persons had collected at the depot to witness the arrival. It was then found that the cars were two hours behind time, and that instead of one train two were coming, with twenty-eight cars loaded. When the two hours were up the crowd at the depot, had increased ttid this, with the acres of two and four-horse waggons about the de. pot,and the music aud fun of the merry drivers, formed no small preliminary show of itself, lint as the two trains came thundering al"i)g, and as they stretched therns- Ives away beyond and away back of ttie depot and stopped, excitemeut was Oil tiptOl. And wheu two thou- sand pickers began to jour out of every dour of those twentv-eiglit car: the scene beat all other Western shows. Cheering, laughinir, siugiog, sh aiting Admirahfecon. fusion—no disorder. Sections t f tens, platoonsof twen- ties.coinpanies of forties, all officered, moving in every p 6siblo diiection corporals guiding their squads cap- tains giving orders to their companies; marching and counter tnai'ehiug—direct aud iu cc/t /on -forming camp aud breaking camp; armed and equipped with uw. brellas, parasols, satchels, baskets, band boxes, bags, babies! Teamsters shouting for their loads—rush for the, waggons—tumbling in all formed a scene to beat any army camp or movement! We can't do justice to tbe snbj-et. Hut great as was the display on Saturday evening,it was untie than matched on Monday evening \Ve have no means of knowing exactly how many came ou the two trains, but from the best information we can get we put the number at twenty-live htiiitired Two hours before the trains arrived 210 teams were counted, which were waiting to take the pickers to their destina- tions. After the couut teams continued to come iu; and hen the train arrived there must have heeu nearly <J00 SlIlle of the four-horse teams take eighteen or twenty, and the average is at lea-t ten. But some teams do not get their loads, because two long trains could not bring tiieni-we hear that the trains were full before they anved at Ocouoinowoe; and that hundreds who had gitliered at the stations this side of there had to be left, to come by the tiain to-day —(we write on Tuesday). But undoubtedly 250 waggons were filled with at least ten each. Truly, hops are king, and in this region "0,000 queens are waiting on the old fellow."

Several of the Vienna journals announce that the Empress Eliztbeth is again in an interesting situation. The deliveries of tea in London, estimated for the week, were 3,202)b3olb) which is an increase of 753,5'JOlb, compared with the former statement. A letter from Italy in the Siecte says that it is all but certain that the Fell system of mountain railway will soon be applied to the passage of the St. Gothard and the Smipioii. Franklin Pierce, formerly president of the United ■States, lies serl udy ill of cholera morbus, at Concord, New Hampshire. It is feared that he will not recover. As an instance of the mildness of the season, a cor- respondent informs us that some crocuses, strawberries, and an apple tree are now in full uluulu iu tile gardens attached to Killmgbeck-liall. The Hull Town Council have resolved to iuvite l'i-itieu Alfred to Hull on the 11th of October, to unveil the statue of the late I'liL)CO Consort, in the People's l'ark. Colonel Pease, of Haslewood, and Mr C. Sykes, place their mansions at the disposal of the Prince in the event of his vi-iting Hull. Last week intelligence was received of the total destruction by fire of the Liverpool and East India trader Maha Lukshhii, on the voyage home from Bom- (my tu the ler.-ey. She had a large antI valuable carg", amongst which were 5,888 bales of cotton and a large (luautty uf "eel" alld other East India produce. A portion of the crew were picked tip aud taken back to Bomtiav, and the remaiuder were taken oil' the burning vessel by pissing ships. It will be lemembered that a young man nameJ James Bell, wlito had been sentenced to live years' penal servitude for sheep stealing, was recently liberated, owing to the discovery that he had been wrongfully con- victed. Mr Uuerrier, a salesman, had been put to great expense in securing Bell's liberation, and Mr Alderman Lusk, M P., applied to the Home Secretary to reim- burse those expenses. He has now received a letter t'roui Mr Ado!litis Liddell, stating that Mr Hardy was prepared to lec 'iumeud the Lords of the Trei-ury to repay to Mr tJuerrier whatever reasonable and proper expenses lie ni:ty have incurred in connection with this etse, and desiring him to furnish, with that view, a (le- tailed account of the money so expended to the Secre- tary of the Treasury. General Peel has addressed another letter to the Times ou toe .Mi'tiiect of the increase 1 army expenditure, in reply to some remarks made by Mr Child, rs in his recent speech at Pontefract. General l\el contends that tin- extra expenditure recently incurred cauuat be met by corresponding reductions in other portions of the esti- mate> I eutirely agree," he says, with the Royal Commissioners, that our army is baiely suiiicieut to pel form the duties of a peace establishmenta d if you will ollin, reftM- to the estimates and see the votes that are entirely governed by the number of men, you will at once perceive the diHkdtyof making reductions in any other than the votes for stores, the very votes in which the guns are to be provided for. There is, to be time one vote which I hope to see reduced, and that is the vote for the administration of the army.' The Liberal Government were certainly not very economi- calor fortuuate in dealing with that. I left it at i'lSo.tOO in 18511 and found it at 1:210,000 in lSthi, aud in addition to that increase several of the best clerks in the War Office had been invited and encouraged to retire upcn pensions long before they were entitled to do so." A'õHAI\1.> OUTIUGK IX WALIX.—A few days ago an outrage of a very determined character was perpetrated on a sheepwilk, named Moelypti-k, ill the county of Brecon, the property of Colonel Powell, of Xatiteos, for- merly M.P. for Cardiganshire. The sheepwalk iu ques- tiull consists of some thousands of acres of grazing land, no habitation of any kind whatever being met with for miles. li) or,lt,r to I)i event the l,tiiii I)vin, (gr;iz (I ai)(I otherwise made use of by the fartlleJ OIl tlw borders of the sheepwalk, and a right of common thereby acquired by tliein, the landlord, about two years ago, in conjunc- tion with the tenant, built a house upon the waste, aud olaced a man to live iu it as a shepherd. This person, with his wife, and a child six years old. were the occu- pants of the cottage s,) bitilt. On the Thursday nigllt, the husband being away, and the woman and chillI in bed, apartv of about 1-3 men entered, and ordered her to get ,I), they intended pulling the cottage down. She did so. aud immediately afterwards the whole building, together with the bay and turf stacks ou the premises were set on fire. The woman was not. allowed to clothe herself previously to being evicted, aud, accordingly, in her night-dress, had to travel with her child for sever; hours before (hiding a shelter at an hospitable fat ni-honse, called Carreghoyd, where she remains in a j.recarious condition owing to fright anil the exposure to cold. The perpetrators of this outrage had their faces blackened, their dress turned iimiile out, and had adopted other precautions to prevent identifi- cation. A handsome reward lias been offered by Colonel Powell, the landlord, for the discovery of the guilty parties.

THE ELECTION FOR THE DENBIGHSHIRE II BOROUGHS. LimCUAI. MEETING IN FAVOUR OF MR WATKIN WILLIAMS. A meeting of the Liberal electiors of the Uenb)!? district was convened on Friday, the 25th nit. Mr Gee,l propo?-d that Mr Evan Thomas, blacksmith, Denbigh, ( take the chair. The Chairman then addressed the meeting, who evi- dently from the "hear, hears." etc., coincided with what he was saying. He briefly iutroduced Mr Hugh .) ones, grocer, who began by referring to Mr Mainwaring's new a Idress andcouiuariug it with the old one. lie said that in the new one he could not find anything clear or straight- forward about it. From it he could not surmise who he intended to support, Mr Gladstone or Mr Disraeli. I here were some expressions which led him to suppose that Mr Mainwaring was prepared for a complete turn ronnd again. There was scarcely a single subject dealt with in a satisfactory way. U, contrasted Mr Watkin Williams's address as a perfect model of straight- forwardness—plain and easy to understand. He re- marked upon the change which had taken place among the people and the little influence the screw had now- adays to what it used to have in former times. The Chairman then introduced Mr \Vatkiu Williams, who was received with enthusiastic cheering. He said th it he had to congratulate them on the issue of a second, and totally different address since he had last addressed the electors uf Denbigh. He was glad of it. It (ii,l him great credit, for he thought before he was fighting a mere shadow. It was his (the speaker's) inten- tion before thejelection to criticise and thoroughly cut up from beginning to end the new address. To-night his time was limited as other speakers more able and eloquent than himself had come to address them. (Cries of n'), no, go on.") He hoped that to-night he should not be betrayed into saying anything disrespectful to Mr Mainwaring. He had no personal interest in him I I and had only come across him in tue course oi nis uiu-, vassing. They (tbe electors) knew him better than lif, did. He did not want tbough to criticize his qualifications, but would pass on to criticise his public career it would be were affectation on his part to ab- staiu frolll doiug so. An old friend of his (W. W.) grandfather aud great-grandfather had come to him and tried to dissuade him from holding public meetings and pitching into" Mr Maiuwaring, but he reminded him of the parable of La Fontaine s, viz., the fox without a tail trying to persuade the whole tribe of foxes in a public council of the race to cut offtheit- titils-be having iuobly lost his own in a raid on a farm-yard. His friend had advised liiin to cut off lii« (W. W.J tail. It was a mistake on his friend s part, for be assured the present audience that as loug as he had health he would call a meeting aud do his best to expose and cut up the little dirty tricks they practised. lie WM persuaded that they could not conduct an election with lavender kid-gloves. They practised upon him all the engines in their power, and iu return entreated him not to expose the tricks the) resorted to. But he would expose them—he was determined to do it to the best of his power and ability. He would tell them the truth about it-it via no use keeping sacred the menu t'icks they were guilty of. He had something to tell them to-night which wonld gladden their hearts, and would create a sensation not only in the Denbighshire boroughs, but throughout the United Kingdom. He intended to publish it and spread it far and wide, that Englishmen travelling in Europe might read it in the Times aud other But lie would reserve that for the close of his speech. It was only one of the sueakmg tricks resorted to. He had no time to criticise Mr Mainwaring's new address thoroughly. lie said that he might himself be doing an injustice to him, but he thuught, comparing the dates ,f tlie. printers —not the date from Galltfaenan mind— and the litst style with the style of his previous act. dress that it was not his address at all!—(applause) -that he might fairly be acquitted of all responsibility in the matter, that he had placed himself iu the i.auds of a com- mittee, If Mr Mainwaring were to tell him (thespeaker) as ranch, he would say to him I believe you." Hut he must not trespass on the time of the other speakers but there was one statement in the addresi which must have struck the most casual observer. The charge he referred to was that the resolutions of Mr Ullld. stone for the disestablishment and disendowment of the Protestant,Church in Ireland were brought forward hastily." Hastily', the gentleman continued, he would like t. kuow what he called hastily. lie must say that Mr Mainwariug had, unintentionally no doubt, pleased him very much. He felt it. For at the lapse of tico mnnths after he issued this address Mr Mainwaring had condescended to treat upon all the subjects coutaioed in his (the speaker's) first and only address. Mr Mainwaring was very independent and and only knew that if he got returned to Parliament, and Mr Gladstone turned out the government—as he assuredly would do -Mr Mainwaring would most probably, not liking the hiss of power after tasting its sweets, change over to the side of Mi- Gladstone. (Applause.) Mr MainwariHg had said, lie again reit, rated that the resolutions of Mr Gladstone were brouirht forward and accepted by the House of Commous hastily. He considered that it was a gross insult to the electors to tell them that the thing was done hastily. He could only ask where he had been if he considered that the step was hastily brought for- ward in 11168. He would nut ask the audience to take his word for it, but would show them real m iterials for it. II" then proceeded to read extracts from the foil iw- ing papers. They were he said no doubt new to many. Mr Gladstone had never brought his resolutions forward till they were ready for work. (Cheers) He would not rea l them all fur tbt. would take up too much time, but would hand them over to the reporters, so that those who liked might see them ill the public papers. [,-Jt.e end of this report.] At the conclusion of reading he said that he had not read a single extract under twenty years, and that was what Mr Mainwaring called hastih/. Mr Mainwaring was going up as an independent. We did not believe in them unless they were great geniuses such as Mr Koebuek but for Mr Mainwaring to go up as a neutral was positive nonsense. It was an insult to the electors not to tell them who lie was going to sup- port when he got into the house if he did get there. He should state whether he was going to support Mr Disraeli or Mr Gladstone. But he (the speaker) could tell tliem thereasou why he did not tell them in his address, it was because he himself did not know. (Loud and pro- longed cheering.) Ile knew enough of political life, in the I louse of Commons, to know that a man who went up as an independent was an object of ridicule in the bouse unless he came out as a genius, lie hadiuteiiued to give them some statements of Mr Burke,but he had forgotten to bring them. He then read an abstract from a speech of Mr Disraeli in the house last summer on th., pliey of being an independent. He challenged the Tories to deny that. He was of opinion that it was shameful treatment on his part not telling them who he was going to support. He said that it was ini- possiule that an election could be conducted without sneaks and cheats, but he was determined for one if he got to the Itouse-it might be the first, second or third trial—but he would not be beateu once, nor twice, but would persist—he would uproot and ransack 111 their underhand work, and briug it to the light of day, (Cheers.) By some mysterious proceedings he did not kuow how-hut somehow trn;[, will out all the pro- ceedings in D .IV t.ing street, no matter how secret they were, found L.ir way into some morning paper or other, and what he was about to tell was uuquestiunably the truth, and would give them a lesson this election that tiiey Would not forget in a hurry. Wheu he exposed these tricks at Wrexham, a gentleman, who was fighting against the interest of the Duke of Marlborough in the borough of Woodstock, followed his example and ex- posed the tricks of the more powerful party, and what was the result ? the supporters of the duke were shamed and resorted to these tricks no more, and he believed that this gentleman would carry the election through exposing them. They all kne.v the Denbigh Asylum, (i ,beers.) He was sorry to mention the instance he was about to rebte-(shame, shame,)—but it must come out. He saw they koltlv to what he reftirred-(Ish,,itne, shame,) but for the benefit of those who had not he would repeat it. If he relatedauythingduaoeurate it would give them an opportunity of publicly denying it. But to proceed, at the Asylum a number of men who possess votes had, when their daily toil was over, interested themselves in politics. They have had the audacity to suppose that they can support a eallditL.te-(quite right) I --wltu w,.s himself! (Cheers.) A certain geiitlouiau- but what was the use of mincing matters—Mr Thomas II twltp-, of Vstrad—(shame, shame,)—Chairman of the ■Quarter Sessions—there was no need to say shame as yet, what lie was about to say might be considerably in favour of tliilt getit!eLTiiiii-(ii(I not like these men interesting themselves in his favour. He (lhl nut Cotu. plain of that. Well, Mr Hughes had consulted with Mr George .I ones, secretary to that institution, and a com- mittee meeting of the managers of the Asylum was called. Now then occurred what he did complain of. (Shame, s hame, and groans ) Well, how the proceedings of the committee meeting transpired he would not say, I.ut truth will out. And to proceed,at the Asylum com- mittee meeting a geijtleu)an-bitt what was the use of mincing matters, Mr Thomas Hughes, of Ystrad, chair- tltall "f the Q tarter Sessions. (Shame, shame.) Don t cry shame yet. What I am about to say may be greatly in favour of that gentleman. Well, 1 homas ilughes, Esq., Vstrad, had said that tile men of the Asylum had interested themselves in polities, and had been can- vassal* for Watkin Williams and had refused to desist, and determined that they would give up their place before their principles." The Chairman proposed three cheers for the mn of th" Asylum, which was cordially responded to. Mr Watkin Williams: Thomas Hughes, of Ystrad, then moved an infamous resolution. He called the reso- lution of that man—a friend of his father and grand- father-infamous. It WHS- 0 That a man who thotlght So little of his place and of them should be dismissed." (Shame aud groans.) He liatl not told them half yet. A ilan (Colonel fleaton) asked Mr Hughes if t!t.- --cla to supporting Mr Williams neglected their duties, and Mr 1 Hughes ausweied, "No, no." Col. Heaton Do you really persist iu the motion ?" aud Mr Hughes having replied in tho affirmative, Col. Heaton said I beg to propose an amendment, and before I do so, in my opi- nion, a man who would sacrifice his place before his prin- ples is likely to prove a good servant, and I therefore beg to move that his salary be doubled! Capt. Lee Thomas seconded the amendment, and he (Watkin Williams) was happy to tell them that the amendment was carried! (Cheers aud loud and prolonged ap- plause. ) When silence had been restored the Chairman rose and said he begged to propose three cheers for Colonel Heaton, Captaiu Lee Thomas, aud the majority. A cordiai respouse was given by the meeting, when Mr Williams continued Now, f.e ,t.emeu, was not that a glorious day for Denbigh. H,, aked if ttil iueot- iug thutlght he should have dune his duty, had lie shut his mouth, and like a wretched coward not said a word. If returned to the House of Cwinmons he would consi- der it his duty to exnose every dirty trick of the Go- vernment likewise. He said that if he did it the gen- tlemen of the county would cut him-bllt he did not care for that. He only asked the electors to stand by him as he had stood by them. II e said tuat a gentle- man at Ruthin came to him one day, and said that he was very sorry, but instead of giving him his own vote he would give him three others. He askrd him what he meant; could he not give him his vote ? fie replied that ho could not without sacrificing his interests. He theu said to him" What right have you to promise me three other people's votes, when you have no right or power over thew 1" He would rather lose every vote than not go to work straig itfoi wardly. But he was certilill that for every vote he had lost that way he should giliu twenty others. As Sir Hubert Briseo said the other night, he believed they were s titid to the core, and would stand by him in this election and would carry him. (Loud cheering.) A Gentleman in the audience stepped forward and asked Mr Williams if he meant Mr Hughes, senior, of Ystrad ? Mr Williams thanked the speaker for remiuding him of it; he should have said so before. It was Mr Hughes senior. A friend to whom he had relite(I the incident said But it was at a private committee." He an- swere,l-" It was (iiiite tilue ttiat it ohoti,,i cea,c t,) be private aud should be brought to the light." (Immense cheers.) He should ouly compare this action to the action of the rector of Llanfwrog. If Mr Hughes thought to do it in society he should be taught a lesson wiiioh lie wuuld not furget doiioy the wliulo of his lile- time. If any of the electors sutleaed through what he had said to-night, he would sutler with them. He favour- ably contrasted John Jen Kins, Esq., Ex-mayor of Kutnin, with Mr ltughes of Ystrad. He said .Mr Jenkins hid not allowed Mr Mainwariug to canvass his work- men whilst at their work, because if he canvassed them at home aud he became too pressing, they could order him out of the house bet they could not do that iu their master's yard, He would like to know lioiv Mi- ll ughes of "1 Btrall would feel If the Emperor ot Utissia, or any other despotic sovereign had command of his estates, and having consulted with Mr Williams, threatened that if Mr Hughes meddled iu the electious he would take away his estates and reduce him to tiog- gary and breaking stones oil the road. He would not comment more upon the ciroumstauce, fur the facts themselves were far too eloquent for him to descant upon them. The gentleman at Kuthin he referred to had told his workmen to vote as they liked and to use the franchise—winch would jirobaoly be of uo use to them except at the foi thcouiiug eleetiou—freely, lie then called attention to another instance which had uc. curred at Kuthin, but which he said was on a far dille- rent principle. A man at Kuthin had promised his vote to him and the rector of Llanfwrog had tried in vaiu to get him to break that promise, and uecause he stood firm he dismissed him from his employ. (Shame, shame and groans.) there was a statement at UeubigU that the men of iiuthiii were breakiug their promises to him. It was a downright untruth. The men directly they heard of it got up a meeting, ou the spur of the moment, without his interference at all, and when he accidentally passed Llanfwrog bridge he Was imme- diately assured of their constancy to him. lie tlieu thanked the electors for what they had already done for him, nut was certain he Co uid never repay them fur it. Hut he would try. If returned he would go, not as it great speaker, but as a downright hard-worker, lie would endeavour to forward their interests in the House or Commons. He would uot go as a mere tool of Mr Gladstone, or Mr Disraeli, hut he would let the leader whom he intended to support—and that was Mr Glad- stone -know that the Denbigh people had interests aud he would tell the members, if he got there, what his views aud opinions were. He then resumed his seat amid thunders of applause. A few ulluutcl having elapsed, he called attention to a squill he held ill his hand. He said that he could only tell Mr Morris (the printer's name at the bottom), that it was a forgery, and that the words were nut his words at all. In fact they were a (Itiotatium from the work of a friend of his when he was at college aud eigh- teeu years of age, and if M** Morris had had auy spirit of honour about him, he would have stlted it assuca on the placard. He said that even if they had been his opinions when he was eighteen years of age, they had had a considerable time to undergo a change. 14c theu resinned his seat amid thundering and deafening cheeis, which continued for some time. The squib or placard iu question and was most art- fully contrived, so as to appeir a short notice from Mr Watkin Williams himself. The quotation being above the lait li,ic -'Sticit are the opinions of your zealous servant, Watkin Williams. Mr Griffiths (Gohebydd), a well-known orator in these parts, very ably advocated Mr Watkiu Williams cause. After him followed the llev. Mr Tliomas, of Liverpool, who also spoke well in favour of the Libcratcaudtdate. During his speech three cheers were called for Mr lj LAd. stone, and he was loudly, and heartily and fiequeutly cheered. He considettd that the Permissive Bill was not one of the important questions of the day, that the electors should not embariass themselves at the forth- j coming election. Mr. Gee then followed. At tile c-11. elusion of a good speech, he paid a high compliment, to Mrs Watkin Williams fur the noble aud effective man- ner iu which she had assisted her husband iu canvassing. The meeting then separated. The following are the extracts read by Mr Williams in the course of Ills I BISHOP OF NORWICH—1825.—"Could he bring himself to believe that any country required a particular Ecclesi- astical Establishment, which tor its ill dnteiiaiiee de- manded a violation of the fundamental principle of justice ami true religion—a subversion of the Divine precept of doing nut.i others ou all occasions as you would wish to be done by—a departure from the equity of the Divine commandment, then he woald say that a Church reipiiiiug such support did noL deserve to be upheld ill a. free com- munity. it the Church of England could not be else maintained than by the permanent mtlicion of pains and penalties, then he wt*uld not scruple to say—let it fall, Spctck of tnc Bishop of Xonctck, May 17, l«S2o.

THE THREATENED UlSriST iBLISHMENT OF TtiE IRISH CIIUICii. The following are a few extracts from an address on I the above subject by a resident Irish landlord — To the Loyal and Chrhtiin Electors of Great Britain and Ireland. FELLOW-COONTUYMEN,—Most respectfully and ear- nestly 1 pray you to read and ponder what I Hay. Hav- ing spent about twenty- years iu England, and about1 thirty in ltclaud-knowiug intimately both countries luv long experience and position justify uie in address. ing you, especially now, when our beloved Q;lCelJ and j country require every honest patriot to do bis duty, N ever wa there, since England becune a ii ttioii, so solemn an issue a* that which an ungodly alliance of revolutionary uieu has force I upon us, and the general election now at hand will have to determine whether these sons of violence shall succeed, or wtiether the II L. L cause of religiou, order, aud prosperity snau uiuuipn. ¡ At that coining election, the elector* of the empire will have to decide whether it is their will that this hitherto Christian nation shall disestablish Christianity. Such is the awful wiue. Then how tremendous, how fearful the crisis. The (iod-dishonmmng host commence with Ireland, and, if succeed, the attack will follow with irresistible force on England. Ireland is now prosperous; her part of the National Established Church is sound in doctrine, earnest in effort, and successful In its work. Within the la,t forty years the members of the Irish branch have voluntarily raised above half a million <>i money for erection or repairs of cathedrals and churches, aud its Church societies (is the ln.>hand Church Missions, &c) have been, and are now, extending their blessed im tiuence of religion and loyalty through the land, ami at the present time thirty conveits from limine are faithful ministers of our Clltlreh in Ireland, and three of theoe wcr ordaiued ltotiiisi) Should England cast of fthe Protestants of Ireland, disestablish and roll their branch of the United Church, she will prove heiself to be most perfidious. If she yields up Ireland to the Pope she will be a cowardly traitor to her Gud, and, as au agent over a large istate wrote to me, Theil Irdalld will be a greater thorn in Eiigiiiijd's side than ever; certain commotions, blood- iiiied, and iiiisery would quickly follow. Honour and sympathize with the noble wives, mothers aud daughters of Irelaud's Church, who, in her defence, have sent an address to her Most Gracious Majesty, with above 14'3,OU0 signatures, reaching one mile ami «30U yards in length an address originated with and carried on by a most devoted and noble lady, asd^ted by other 1 aoies of rank and influence throughout the kingdom, widi the hearty approval of the Lord Prim..te, &e. I would say repudiate uot the Truth of God side nut with the revo- Illtiouaryallll treacheious men who labour to separate Cliliicli ifoll) State, and break up the unity of this j hitherto great uatiou. Britons, if you could do tiiis, you would sound the death-kueli of the liberties of Ire- land, and then farewell to the peace, security, and glory of England. This crisis required much earnest prayer and humiliation before God Protestant electors, bestir yourselves, and vote only for the mail who will bind himself to uphold the uniou of Chuieh and State; nnke no further concessions to liome cheer and defend our Prote:;t.\lJt Quec>¡, aud ell- courage her Maje>ty to withstand to tiin last this out- rageous and pirtnstu attack upon the Church and Con- stitution of this realm Experience has fully established the fact that liritaiii, to be truiy great and prosperous, mu-t be Protestant. ile" ii I)efeiiil -i-s (if the Faith at home and abroad. Tuen loyal constitutional electors, your God, your go- vernment, your safety, require you to stand forth in your might. Choose and elect men who will pledge them- selves to resist R-itne, anti uphold the Piotestaut churches and State, and the Queen's supremacy Do this, and your country will be saved from spiritual tyranny, from confusiou, rapine, and anarchy, if not from invasion itself. Come what may, God helping ns, we in Ireland will prove faithful to Christ and His Church we will not be slaves; we would die sooner than let the Pope rule supreme in our couutry, even if England prows false. But this she will not do. ihen forward, and, firmly united, let us meet the foe, and Gold will defend the right. Ours shall be the winniug side. The Protectant churches shall lie purified aud preserved. The laws and liberties of England and the empire shall not be over- thrown, and the bright sun of prosperity, peace, and security shall agfiu burst out upon a rescued aud grate- ful people.-I am, &c., A RESIDENT lHISIl LANDLORD. N.B.-Since the first thousands of this address were printed, the glorious majority of Do has been obtained lU the House of Lords, and the Christian public are deeply indebted to the Lord Cluucellor, the Earl of Derby, the Archbishops of York and Armagh, &,e, for their noble and unanswerable defence ot tho Pr »tes- taut Church in that momentous debate. Ttiatili God, we have a House of Lords."

VISIT OF THE PRINCE OF WALES TO KXOWSLET.—\> E have the pleasure of announcing that the Prince of Wales is expected at Knowsley liallaboutthe latter end of October for a few days' shooting. It has not yet transpired whether this visit is intended to be strictly private, or whether the Prince will be accompanied by the Princess. There is no doubt that there wili I e a number of distinguished guests invited to meet the Prince aud in order to accompany the party who enjoy the sports of the tiel.

SKIUOUS RAILWAY ACCIDKNT AT OLD SWAN. —A cattle dmver, uauivd James Owen, or 44 Welsh -lack" as he is called by his acquaintances, met with a serious accident on Sun lay evening on the new line of rail to the Stm- ley Cattle Market. He had been waiting on the plat- form of the Cattle Market Station, when th, tr.tin tl""U Holyhexd with cattle arrived. It was then very dark and raiuiug, aud shortly after the arrival ot the ttain the attention of some of the drovers was attracted to a wag* goii by the howling of two dogs, and on proceeding in that direction they found Owen lying on the road in a state of inseusibihty. lie had received two very severe injuries, one to the left leg, the other to the left arm, and they are supposed to have beeu caused by the wheels of the waggon. With ddficulty he was removed to the 1 iloya! lulij-mtry, his dogs endeavouring to prevent any one approaching him.

This we are sure of, that when every parish in the Princi- pality shall have a school within a convenient distance, a id the appliances of education in a far more perfect -1-ite than they are at present, the mass of the p-ople will be much more adapted to exercise the franchise in a inarner conducive to the real good oi their country.

But these have uufortauately bet,ii "few and far between," and we are not aware that V\ ales has hitherto ranked itself with countries of like population III the arts oi life. A visit to atjy of the late lutei-iia- tional Exhibitions held in London or Paris, will convince anyone of this. Government commenced to lend its assistance to a national scheme of education in 1845; but it appears that V\ ales did not avail itself of this aid to any extent for many years after, aud even now, twenty years since the adoption of the scheme, ajicicnt government schools are not met with in one school out of evtry six. Our elief is, that though schools have of late years greatly multiplied, that in very few cases leal education is going ou, aud in subsequent articles, it may be our pro- vince to enquire into the true cause of this. At the present time there are three Normal Schools in Wales. These are the Carnarvon, and Carmaitheii, con- nected with the National Society, and that at liangor connected with the British and Foreign School Society. To give our readers an idea of what each college is doing, we shall deduce a few facts Iron) the Hejioit of the Committee of Council on liducation for l £ (J2-3, and taat for IStiz-S.

The town of Car- narvon was severely visited with cholera, and typhoid fever succeeded. Three students died between November lSdti and November 1807, and three more were com- pelled to give up their work.

I had an accouut from the Vicar of Carnarvon oi the sufferings of the people in the town, and the fear- ful nature of the visitation. Deficient water supply and the proximity of a gieat open drain were considered the chief causes of the disaster in the college. I examined into the piaus a'opted for remedying defects.

Theological dl-elwions as to the teaching of the Piiucipal had caused much agitation. As far as my observati n went he gave excellent instruction to the students, and his complete dev. tion to them and his work had secured their respect and affection. "I thought it a great misfortune that local jealousies and party feelings should have been stirred up to inter- rupt a good and honest Work. 1 Mr Boucher had been somewhat unceremoniously dismissed from his office, and had appealed to the V 181- i tor, the Archbishop of Canterbury, who has, I believe, since decided that lie had no jurisdiction in the mat- ter What the result of the discord may be is uncer- I tain, hut it must be very injurious to the work of training.
