On his • way from Pekin he composed an account of interesting occurrences in his journey, which will throw much light OR the otomli; and religion of the inhabitants of that nhnoet unexplored country. He has sent paper and printers to Mr; Milne at I!alacca, who Aril' print oil' !):300 copies of the Chinese New Testament ; he has printed a volume of dialogues, Chinese and English, end the sceond part of his great work, the Chineso Dic tionary, and he is now revising; translation of lienteronomy. Much maybe eipected, as the result of these enlightening works in the Empire, most parts of which arevery populous, and in many of them there ate some inen of reading, and mental application. -Amaoysa.—Mr. Kain, the laborious Missionary to , this country, and the Molueca Islands, has Lees very sisidoot!s in his progress to the conversion of the people , . The natives of Rulalion, north of Karuko, sent to him while at Sermon to come and preach to them In former trines they wore Christians, but sitirering the hardships of Nlohatatnedun wart:tre mid conquest, there books %%we destroyed, and they were reduced to a wretched state of ignorant and enslaved Idolatry ; they rtteived hint gladly, and burnt their houses of worship de.lioated to the Devil, and all their Idols. He is erecting a new church at Amboyna for the separate use of the slaves, anti the same people who hare destroyed their Idols, are cutting down timber for this building. The inces sar. t labours of this exemplary minister, in a country where the thermometer is at 83, has determined the directors to send two a.ssi.:tant:, one of whom is to be a printer. DI:ADM ACCIDENT. life mentioned in onr last Paper a dreadful accident °era olo „.,1 by b...• explosif iof lire damp. The folio Mg is a more particular accoont :- 6 6 .o.te duty imposes upon us the painful task t.' announce another Shocking accident uccasimed by the ignition .4 . Me damp. On Mon day the .30th ult. about eleven o'clock in the forenoon, an explosion took place at tile liow Pit, in llarraton Colliery, near Chester-le- Street, by which melancholy accident, we lament tJ say, thirty-eight :own and boys have unfortunately perisheA. The force of the explo. lien was so great, that twa of the icon Wit blown from the bottom to the pit month, in 4 state too shociting •tot describe : several of the urea als also ascended !he anika corf and two rallies, from the top of the machine, ware thrown acousidwaable height into the air. Only three men were taken ont alive, awl faint hopes are entertained of their recovery. Of the sulferers, there are ten of the name of Hill, viz. a father, two sons, and seven grandsons. What adds not a little to the distress occasioned by this accident, is the reflection that it war occasioned by the obstinacy of one of the pitm 31, who, notwithstand ing he was cautioned against it, persisted in emering the mine with a candle instead of the safety lamp. The following is the verdict of the Coroner's Jury. by whom the circumstances were: arcfully inves tigated :—The deceased came by their deaths in consequence of :it, explosion of fire damp, occasioned by the using of candles instead of the satiny lamps, contrary to orders given. 66 On the Werinesday afternoon following, some pitmen descend thl into the new pit, at Ilerratoo, in order to ascertain the injury it bad sustained front the explosion of the old pit above described, when, shocking to relate, eight men were sufftwated in consequence of the impure state of the air in the mine."—Duchatu County Advertiser. THE LATE RUBBERY ON LUDGATE HILL.—The novel and very extensive rubbery committed a short time since open the house of Messrs. Rimini. and Bridge, Is likely its a few days to be cnntpletely developed. The following statement Of facts which have already transpired, so far as it may be prudent to diselose them, may be relied upon c Soon after the robbery, Nlessre. Handle anti Bridge applied to the Lord Mayor. His Lordship instantly adopted Illea• tares, and a number of suspected parties were brungfet betime Lim. Aiming them was the wife of one of the pasties who effected the robbery, and who underwent several private ee l minations before kiln. She, however. invariably pro. 'ft sari( her ignorance of the transaction, and even for 4 time denied all knew ledge of the accused pet tie t. From the eir. cumstalice, however, which had crone to the knowledge of the Lord May or, he kit it his ditty to detain her, null upon seVCIAI 0«!ON1011S visited her in the Compter, where partici'. lar care was token to render her situation ac comfortultle as possible, and where she also underwent several private ex. aminations. Vrom these and the exertions of Vickery, the Dow Street Officer, resulted the confession of the woman, land by extraordinary management, the subseenent recovery of part of the stolen jewels, to the animist of 10,0001, and upwards. A great number oh papers, Illustrative of the plea of the plunderers, have been tound, and the infisrmation they convey is of such a nature, as to leave little doubt of the recuvt•ry of the whole of the property of e Welt 'Messrs. Hints die and Bridge have been pluialered. Of the nature of the information, anti the steps at this moment adopting for this desit aole purpose, we are not at tibia ty to speak. It has been sitegt stet to ns by a person who was very rear being a Allf• facer, a few weeks since, by 4 similar freed, that the parties are not Frenchmen or foreigners, but Eneli,limen. At It ast iu our ittant's case, those who effect. d a similar fraud on were Englishmen. He states, thut two persons came to Lis Atop and looked our a guild uhrtmeno ter, sallied at eighty guineas. They returned mast day, hat tlaally departed with. out making the purchase. On looking at his chronometer a few bouts afterwards, the maim , tinate shopkeeper di-covered Oa! a 1'4.3111/011 metal watch, very notch resembling it iu ap. ;iiiince, Vial inserted in the chronometer box in its stead. Ttis pet •on recovered his property afterwards by a kind of mitnete. He saw one of the swindlers at a fashionable sale of jewellt ry and curiosities. rind having sent the clerk privately for it constable, the thief was taken into a room and searched; witen the chronometer was toned in his fob. He tell on his knees, and bawled out fur mercy in good English and the person robbed, with mute humanity than justice, tus tied hint loose again mem 601%e1y.

Nrlt Yong, I.—in an intercepted dispatch, writ ten fawn Valladolid. in New Spain, rind published in The Aurora, we have a distinct account of the situation of that country, and the cause of those numerous disasters which the royal interest has sustained. From this document we are led to believe, that the indepeurienee of South America may Hot only be securely relied on, hut is au event that it appears may Ise very J:!..1 ily anticipated. 'the best tiiends of Ferdinand are the daily progress of disasters; they are aware of the causes, but propose nothing which has a remote prospect of suceess. In fact, taking the peculiar situation of South Ame rica into view, there appears nothing favonrable to the Royal arms in extending the present contest : the resources of the kingdom are gradually exhansting themselves ; and such as are coliected with extreme difficuky, are wasted in skir mishes, remarkable only for their imberility awl extrava gance. The tractional parts of this vast country in revolt are daily knitting themselves together, and cementing their (111/011 Hy the common ties of interest and multi:it suffct ings. Kai:tried with this slow, though sure progress towards in deprisdetece, the Patriots, whose numbet a daily Met ease, and whence cruise rains ground, will hue no time to bring the contest to a speedy issne. Supported by the powerful pro tection of puLtic opinion and the desponding hopes of the Royal party, the Continent of America may very shortly be wholly released from European jnrisdiction,and confederated against European tyranny or eoutrotil. One of the principal causes to which the fillet' e of the Spanish cause is attributed, is the deficiency of money. The mines of Mexico, hi which were formeily eniployea 100,000 men, now scareely find labour far 90,000; and the coinage of the A has been annually decreasing, until it is not mere than six millions of dollars. This snot is not sufficient to lure) the CIIITt lit Vit• peaces Ili' the Cuomo', much less afford any assistance to Spain by esporta Hutt. internal tit::es do not, at this day, minima to one fifth of the former income, and the revenue taws arc daily violated by smugglers d' varlims dc- Scriptions. - _ The trilinte formerly paid to the King iv now Waned ; and any attempt at comelon induces the party to go over to the enema. s are no longer to be depended npnn ; net of fifty dis tricts under the joristlietion of an Archuishop, thirty-seven are ih the hands of the insnrgents. The plate belonging to the Church. and which former/ no inconsiderable share of the wealth of the country, has been long applied fur politic purposes, and no oue is now• disposed to lend more.

Now, it ith treat defer race to this acute stud intelligent traveller, vs e suspect that he never visited an English church-yard at all; fur we never yet saw an act of suicide recorded on a tomb-stone. rt person in Urtetiock is in possession of a canary bird, which recently btonglit forth five young from four eggs.

RAIN ON ST.SWITIIIN'S-DAY, .1 tnLY.—St Swithio at his own previous solicitation was buried in the church yard, instead of the chancel of his Cathedral, and when an order was obtained to remove his relicks into the choir, a most violent shower of rain 11:11 on the des tined day and continued for 39 successive days with out intermission ; in consequence of which, the idea of removal was abandoned as dikpleasing to St. Sv.ithin ; though the Saint. afterwards is supposed to have relent ed, and suffered his bones to be taken from the Ceme try, and lodged among the remains of the other Ilishcps . , in A.D. 1093. From this Legend arose the vulgar opinion of its raining fbr 40 days more or less, if it rains on the 25th. The legal latitude of the words more or less is not allwuys broad enough to secure the certainty of the prophecy. INQUEBT.Y.
