Arrival of the Caledonia.
Fourteen Days Later.
The steamship Caledonia arrived in Boston
at 8 o’clock on Monday’evening 17th’, bring-
ing London and Liverpool papers to the 4th
“fourteen days later than the intelligence
brought by the Hibernia.
The Caledonizi brought 75 passengers to
Halifax. and 69 to Boston. _
Subsequent to the departure ofthe.Hib.-.r-
nia from Liverpool nothing of any interest
to the people of this country had talcen place
in the British Parliament. A trifling rise
is noticed in the corn market, although the
prospects for the forthcoming harvest
are still favorable. Money continued very
abundant, but the agitation in Ireland had
occasioned some fluctuation in English secu-
rities. In the manufacturing districts little
business is going forward, and a great want
and deprivation is still endured by a great
mass of the laboring people.
Irelantl.—Mr. O Connell, (says_ the Ett-
ropcan Times) continues ' his triumpliant
course ofagitation in the sister kiriudotii, in
wh;'ch he is so powerfully assisted by the
priests. The rent comes pouring in by
thousands weekly, and he is almost daily
engaged in addressing hundreds of thousands
of his countrymen in various parts Of.,.l]lS
kingdom. But the nioyeincnt-owing.
probably, to the people on thisside ll).l3'Il'lSn
Channel becoming more fainiliar Wll'l it-
excites less attention, or, rather, less alarm,
and it forms a less prominent topic than
hitherto in the journals. _
At a repeal meeting held at Ennis, on the
l5th ult. there are said to have be”! 79.000
persons present! Other accounts estimate
the number at 150,000.

attracting considerable attention in Euglaiid,
and was the cause of much complaint.
Insult to the American Minister.----Mr.
Everett, the American minister to England,
was grossly insulted at the University of
Oxford a few days since, as the heads of that
institution were about to confer upon him
the degree of Doctor of the Civil Law.-:-
VVe find the affiir reported as follows, in
VVilmer’s News Letter of the 4th.
The moment Mr. Everett was presented,
a furious storm ofdisapprobation arose which
increased to such a pitch that llle Vlct‘
Chancellor was compelled to dismiss the
convocation, (after having conferred_ upon
Mr. Everett his degree) without hearing the
prose essays or poems read. Against the
granting of the degree a‘formal and formida-
ble protest has been entered. because, as the
protestors say, Mr. Everett, who is an Uni-
tarian, and who was an Unitarian preacher.
is not entitled to any degree which an Uni-
versity eiuinently and especially Triuitarian
can confer upon him. His Excellency has
been distinctly informed that the annoyance
with which he has been assailed is not di-
rected to him personally. It is solely and
simply a mark of the displeasure the under
graduates and a certain portion ofthe. gradu-
ates entertain against the conferring of a
distingtiished academical honor upon a man
who distinctly repudiates the religious
opinions which the members of the univer-
sitv of Oxford are sworn to uphold.” .
Anutlier paper, remarking upon this oc-
currence, says: _ _ _
_ "The hootings and uproar had their origin
in no higher motive than thts——that Mr.
Everett was a Unitarian, and had been_ a
preacher of that persuasion. 'l‘.h.e_ English
Universities are the very hot beds of bigotry,
that of Oxford especially; but no one irri-
agined that its inmates would have gone the
iength of insulting an amiable and accom-
plished gentleman and a stranger, the repre-
sentative, too, of a country with which our
own, bv blood, language, and commerce is
so iirimediately associated, because he
thought and acted for himself on mere spec-
ulative points of doctrine. Democratic
America will not be surprised to hear, that
of all species of blackguardisin. aristo-
cratic blaclrgardisrn, is the most degra-
ded and reckless. The heads of the
college have made all the reparation in their
power to the insulted feelings of the Ameri-
can Minister, by the presentation of an ad-
dress, expressive of their regret at such an
untoward event, coupled with the assurance
ofthe high respect for his character as a
man and a diplomist. The .insult is the
more uupardonable when it is ‘remembered
that honorary degrees of the university have
frequently been bestowed upon notorio:is and
avowed infidels, without a word of clamor.”

General Association of Conneclicu.l.——
The. annual meeting of this body was holden
at Westbrook, on Tuesday. Wednesday, and
Thiirsday, 20=h. 21st, and 22d ofJun'e. Rev.
Nathaniel Hewett, D. D. was elected Moder-
ator; Rev. Mr. Griggs, Scribe. and the
Rev. S. D. Jewett, Assistant Scribe.
The annual sermon was preached by
Professor Goodrich, of Yale College. At
this meeting, the subject of slavery was in-
troduced by the Rev. Dr. ' Porter, of Far-
mington, by a resolution, in wbicli it is stated
that a convention of the friends of the .~l.-ve
was recently held at Faziningion, and it was
proposed to hold a series of them during the
year, therefore
Resolver], That the ministers of tbis_asso-
ciations be encouraged to attend, as they find
it convenient.
Rev. Mr. Sprague, after remarking upon
the occasion of the late convention. said he
rejoiced to see the anti-slavery cause coming
into the hands of Christians. He knew that
the political ()rganiz..tioris wt re offensive to
some of the warmest obolitionists. The old
socittics had about dtstroved themselves by
going into politics; the best men withdraw-
ing from th:-.:n, as in 3. recent case, where
the State Socioty resolved to form itself into
a State oi'_vaniz-ation, and several prominent
men at once withdrew, such as John T. Nor-
ton, Esq and others.
General To-m Tliumb.-—-'l‘his young gen-
tleman, who was it short tiiue ago a great
favorite with the ladies at the Museum, was
born in Lancashire, England, in 1832, and
weigh--d at his birth nine pounds and two
ounce-s. He is now 22 inches in height,
and enjoys excellent health. His parents are
of the usual size, and they have two girls
fully grown up, of common proportions.-—
'I‘he General, as he is called, is perfectly
formed, and is always in fine health and
spirits, and enjoys his beef stake and Maderitt
like an epicure. Dr. Smith the editor of the
Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, took.
quite an interest in the General when he
was at the i\'luseuiu, and his given us the
following of this moderate wonder :—"Tho
name of this little miniature man is Charles
Stratton—thoiigh universally cog-nominated
General Thumb. He. appears now as fully
developed in body as he ever will be. in
mind he is it child, where it is presumed he
is destined to remain. Of all the dwarfs
we hzive examined, this excels the whole in
littleuess. We gaze up.n this little body,
dressed out in the extreme fashion of the
day, with indefinite sensations, not easily
described, since they are neither precisely
painful or pleasureable, but partake of that
class of mixed etiiotioiis which are felt, but
which laiiguage has not been able to ex-
plain.”——Bosl. Bulletin.
Riols in Canada.—At Kingston, on the
l‘2.=.li of July, the Orange Lodges of Irishmen
attempted to celebrate the unnivers-ry of the
Battle of the Boyne, and for fear of becoming
embroiled in quarrels lorebore to get up a
public procession. But towards eveniugthe
hotel in which some of the Oraugcmen were
assembled was surrounded by a mob. which
was however, dispersed. Soon afterwards
several guns were fired into the crow from
the foundations ofthe new Catholic Church
and from the windows of some cottages. A
lad named Robert Morrison was instantly-
killed by two balls, and several others were
wounded. The Mayor called out it strong
military force and made a thorough search
over all the premises. The troops them-
selves were fired upon, and one or tun per-
sons were wounded. Ten persons have been
arrested, and the names of a Mr. A. Thiba-
do and Martin Foley are mentioned as
prominent actors.
Eli/Lu Burrill t/ie Blac/csmif/z.—We learn
from the Bingor Courier that in the settle-
ment of a case at that place, relative to an
estate in St. Tliomns, a document was pro-
duced as evidence, which was written in
Danish, anl contain-—d forty loolscap pages,
but there were none that could translate it. It
was sent to Mr. Burritt, of Worcester, known
as the Learned Bl.icl.'smith, who returned a
translation of it, which is spoken very high-
ly of by the editor of the Courier. In a let-
ter, Mr. B. remarks thatthe translation cost
him twelve day's l.r=or, for which be pre-
sumed the sum of$l8 would not be an un-
reasonable compensation, as that would be
‘about what any blacksmith would charge,
pi'ovi(lt-d they could do it with hauimer and
tongs.’-—Taunlon IV/trig.

The first consequence ofthe jingle, was a

Important from the Society Islnnrls—-
T .- P: vi ence Journal has rec ntly pub-
lished two interesting letters from Tahiti.
r__r \l|'g some particulars respecting the ocvu
potion of those Islands by the French which
we do not remember to have met with before.
We extract the following passages. from
which it seems that the English have been
putting their finger in the pie. The letter
quoted from is dated February l0.
"‘l'he government has gone on regularly
ill within the last ten days, since which tve
nave had nothing but rumors of war; and l
have an idea that we shall have a serious
disturbance here, ifthe tranquility of Europe
is not disturbed by it; for you itiust know
that about twelve days ago we had an urri-
val here of H. B. M. ship Talbot, Capt. Sir
Thomas Thompson, direct from England,
and of the Bussole. a French frigate.
Sir Thomas brought letters from the
English Government to Queen Pomare. and
as she was, on the arrival of the frigate, at
Morea, he sent a boat from her 39 come over
is she n t-er hazl been at Tuhilii since the
French had got possession, and hoisted their
protectorate flarr. Btit on the receipt of Sir
Thomas’s letter she came across in state, with
the old Tahiti flag, therehy disturbing the
peace and tranquility of the place, and acting
directly hostile to France. Sir Thomas
then requested the Queen to call a meeting
ofall the inhabitants of the island, to know
whether it was their wish that the French
should take possession and govern the lSli1ml-
The meeting took place yesterday in the
Queen’s enclosure, and it was attended by
about l0,000.
When called upon to speak, they all
agreed to a man" in not wishing the French
to remain on the island, and they all Wished
the Queen to allow them to go and pull
down the protectorate flitg; but she would
not allow it. Last night. l'l0W€Vt“': ‘he mg
was hauled down, and the signal-hnlyitrtls
cut away. The captain of the Bussole
threatened to fire upon the place if theflag
does not go tip again. and the captain of
the English frigate has threatened to fire on
the Frenchman the moment it shot is fired
upon the town.
As the tenor of :he English letter_was that
England would protect her against any
foreign power that should encroach upon her
dominions.and the frigates at present lie
already for battle, and as the Queen and
most ofthe natives have fled to a distant pazt
ofthe island, there is no knowing how this
affair will end, though I trust the French-
man and the Englishman will fight it out.
as they are equally ntntchcd. I care not
which wins.

TAHITI. March 24, 18-13.
In my former letter to you I informed you
of the manner in which we were Sllualfld
here with the French and English; and 1
have now to inform you that the business
wears a more serious aspect than ever; for
on the 12th of the last month, Commodore
Nichols arrived here in II. B M. Vindicitive
of 25 guns, bringing presents to this Queen
from Queen Victoria; and having heard of
the manner in which the French had gained
possession of the island, immediately made
known, in a public meeting of the iiativts,
his intention of lying here and protecting
them aguirisl. the encroachiiients of the
French at all hazards.
The uextd-av, being third day of his ar-
rival here, he iiubent sails and warped his
ship ahr.-gist the Queen’s residence, where
she is still lying. We have also two French
sloops of war here that have been lying heft‘-
for the. last two months, doing nothing but
watching the proceedings of the English
Commodore with the utmost jealousy, and
they intend to remain here till the arrival of
the French Aditiiral, who is expected daily.
We then shall have rumors of war, if not
actual war itself. as neither party is disposed
to give way to the other; and both parties
have compromised their national honor so
far that they cannot draw back without cou-
ceding to each other, which ueithe-r.a_t pre-
sent appears disposed to do. My Opinion is
that the small island of Tahiti will be the
cause of involving France and England in a
conflict, for it is the island which they both
want; not the improvement of the natives,
as they pretend.
Should the French Aduiiijal, on his arri.
val here, tike umbrage at the manner in
which the English have conducted in his
absence no doubt we shall have the com-
mencement of a row here, as the John Bull
commander is at hot lleatled and fiery old
chap, and is in one of the mosteflicieutships
in the English navy.
Tlio Forget‘ of l84l.—-A titan by the
name of Clinton has been arrested in London
who is supposed to he, says the Journal of

teriug certificates of deposite, procured by
him ofthe Commercial Bank at New Or-
leans, about the 20th March, l84l, soon af-

Rebellion in I/lznois -—The St. Louis Era
of the evening of the 5th, says :—"I‘wo hun-
dred citizcns of Coles county, Illinois, havoe
resolved in public meeting that no heed
should be paid to the decision ofthe Supreme
Court of the United States, setting aside the
appraisement law of Illinois; thatall officers
be advised not to carry out such decision in
the sale of property; that they be asked to
resign their offices if they cannot comply
with such recotnmenrlations; that they, l.hl'
people, will oppose them by all fair and mild
means, and if that will not do, they will op-
pose them by force of arms and all other
means in their power; that committees br-
appointed to ascertain from such officers
whether they will persist in such sales or
will resign their places; that the decision of
the Supreme Court is regarded as iinjust,and
not binding on the people of lilinois, and
that they pledge their lives, fortunes, and sa-
cred lionors to sustain their resolutions.’
s-puseyism, Puseyism l” said an old lady
"looking staringly over her specs, at a news-
paper which had much to say about P-u.seg/-
ism. ‘I always thought folks would get more
in favor of cats, and this editor is clear car-
ried away with them."
The Hartford Times gives the Register of
this city and its other equally prudent breth-
ren a severe spank for their carefulness as
will be seen: ,
"Some Democratic editors refuse to ex-
press an opinion about the Presidential ques-
tion. Let us keep still,they say; there is no
use of agitating the matter—we won't say
nnything—-somebody else may not think
precisely as we do. Very We'll, keep still-
you have a right to do so——antl public opin-
ion will drag you along by the nose; quite
an enviable position for an editor.”
To which the Regsst-r responds:
The course persued by ‘some democratic
editors,’ savors more of personal interest than
the wellfare of the party. A little more
modesty, and less selfishness, would perhaps
better become them. and render their labors
quite as effective. An observance of this
rule in limes past, might have saved us from
humiliating dt-feats.
A new rule for calculations in Arithmetic
has lately made some noise in this region.
We wish that some body, by the aid of this
rule or nth:-rwisr-, would asceituin the exact
amount of our City Debt. According to the
old mode of 'figu ring’ instead of about «‘Sl9'u‘-
000, we make it exceed $:?.00,0UOl! We
do not it is true, know the precise date of all
the Bonds which have been issued, (who
does ?) but that there is a very handsome ex
cess of debt, over and above the last sum
mentioned, is we think a good deal more
than probable. ‘Where interest at 6 percent
is payable semi-a.nnua.ll1/ and new Bonds
are issued to pay suc/1. interest as fiast as it
accrues, a debt is apt to increase with great
rapidity. It is indeed.

Surgical Opera—lion.—A new upper Lip
has been given to a young man in Hartford.
who was deprived of one when a boy. This
nice surgical operation was performed by
Dr. Ellsworth. The Hartford Courier says
the new one is handsomely formed:
It seems, the material had been taken from
the cheeks on each side. ; and although the
operation was extensive and extremely se-
vere, yet so perfect is the union that scarce-
ly a ‘scar can be .-een—none extendirig be-
yond the outer side of the nostrils; and upon
the red ficing of the lip. no eye can possibly
detect the point of connection between the
two halves. The lip is really a handsome-
one, quite equal to the best cores of ll'll|'-lip,
and better than any we have ever seen. No
one would for a moment suspect that it had
traveled from the cheeks to its present loca-
tion, which it graces as well as the original,
except perhaps that it has not qtiite as free
and easy motion, although enough for all
common purposes.’
T/ze llIinl.~—'1‘lio N. O. Courier gives the
following as the coinage at the Branch Mint
in that city during the last month—tl.at isto
say, from the first of June to the first ofJuly:
In gold, $185,000
In silver, l30,000
Total, $615,000
From the lst of January, 1843. to lst of
July, that is to say,duriug the last six months
the coinage atnounts, to $2,902,000.
It is tinderstood that none of the Bonds,
originally issued by this city, will fall due,
previous to the year I848. It appears how-
ever, that scrip to the amount of $10,000
was issued in l837—this, if made payable
in ten years, must of course be provided for
in l847. Soitie persons seem to suppose,
that even according to the late decision. the
city is not bolden for the s/tort bonds. i e.
those issued in payment of interest. ‘It is
mist.-ken, that they are.’ The City Agents
at a Meeting held in i838, were authorized
to put out such bonds, to the amount of IO,-
(IOO and in l840 they were authorized to
make afiu-titer emission. not exceeding in
aunounl the interest then due, in June I842.
Guess we are infor it.
