feated a numerous body of the rebels, and made 75 of them prisoners. On the 8th Colonel Taylor, and a body of 200 British settlers, defeated five times their number of rebels and United States' allies, marching to join the main body at Napierville; the engagement took place at Odellton, within sight of the United States' frontier. The rebels and their auxiliaries were commanded by Doctor Nelson, one of those excluded from mercy by Lord Durham's ordinance. On the 9th the rebels broke up from Napierville, and on the 10th and 11th Beauharnois and Laprairie were retaken. Sir John Colborne concentrated his troops on the 12th at Napierville and Chateauquay, and executed, according to the Montreal journals, a severe vengeance upon the rebels whom he found there, burning the houses of the disaffected through the whole disstrict of Acadie. This melancholy but unavoidable visitation upon the guilty terminated the rebellion; and Sir John Colborne confidently predicts, in his despatches, that it will not be renewed this winter.

An invasion of Upper Canada, by which the attention of the British commander might be distracted, and the military force of the colony divided and weakened, was, however, part of the concentrated plan of the traitors and their republican confederates. Accordingly, on the night of the 11th, at the moment when, at the distance of about 180 miles eastward, Sir John Colborne was putting the last hand to the suppression of the rebellion in Beauharnois and Acadie, 800 republican pirates embarked in two schooners at Ogdenburgh, fully armed, and provided with six or eight pieces of artillery, to attack the town of Prescott, on the opposite side of the river. They failed in the attempt to disembark at Prescott; but, by the aid of two United States' steamers, effected a landing a mile or two below the town, where they established themselves in a

windmill and some stone buildings, and repelled the first attempt made to dislodge them, killing and wounding fortyfive of their assailants, among whom were five officers; but on the 15th, Col. Dundas brought a reinforcement of regular troops, with three pieces of artillery, against the invaders. From the water they were fired upon by Captain Sandom, who had two gun-boats; and, after en during the attack for about an hour, they hung out a flag of truce and surrendered at discretion.

SOUTH AMERICA.

An insurrection has occurred in Peru, the result of which was the deposition of Santa Cruz, the assertion of the independence of Peru, and the dissolution of the Peru-Bolivian Confederation. The blockade of Monte Video was still contioued by the French squadron with unrelaxed rigour. The Chilians effected a landing without opposition at Ancon, near Lima, on the 6th of August, in number about 5300 men, under the command of General Balmes. After several ineffectual attempts to negociate with the Peruvian General Orbigosso, on the 21st of August General Balmes attacked the Peruvian advanced posts on the borders of the river Rimac, when a general engagement ensued, which lasted about four hours, and the Chilians remained masters of the field, which was owing to the treachery of the commander of the Peruvian cavalry, all of whom, consisting of nearly 1500, went over to the Chilians, and left the contention of the field to about 500 infantry, who were obliged to give way, and the Chilians entered Lima at eight o'clock in the evening, accompanied by the ex-General Gamarra and several Pe ruvian exiles.

The Peruvian infantry fought desperately, and left 250 killed and wounded on the field of battle, and the Chilians about 150 killed. Gamarra caused himself to be proclaimed Provisional President.

erection, besides 1001. from the master and fellows of Clare Hall, 507. from the rector, 501. from Mr. W. Bennett the shipowner, the same sum from Major. Gen. Sir W. Gomm, and 251. from Mr. W. Evans, M.P.; about 3601. has been subscribed by the inhabitants. The total expense of erection, and the endowment for the minister, is 5,7701., of which 4,0617. has been collected, leaving a defi. ciency of 1,7091.

Nov. 16. The palace of Raphoe was burnt to the ground. Raphoe is one of the suppressed sees, and, since the death of the late excellent prelate, Dr. Bissett,

who had expended a considerable sum in improving it, the palace was occupied by a care-taker, and his family, employed by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, whose property it was. The only article of furniture was an organ that belonged to the late bishop, which was saved.

Nov. 25. A new church, erected by James Brook, esq. of Thornton Lodge, near Huddersfield, for the accommodation of the inhabitants of Meltham Mills, in the employ of Messrs. Jonas Brook, and Brothers, was opened by license from the bishop. This church is built after a plan recommended by the Bishop of Sodor and Mann. It will seat about 250 persons, and adjoining it is a school, which by means of sliding shutters may be thrown open and form part of the church. The school-room is calculated to hold about 600 children. At the other end of the school there are two dwellinghouses erected to correspond externally with the church, one for the clergyman and the other for the schoolmaster. The building is in the Gothic style, handsomely finished inside, lighted with gas brought from the manufactory, and furnished with an excellent organ. The whole edifice is erected at an expense of 40007. A truly Christian example is here set for the opu. lent manufacturers in the country to provide for the scriptural wants of those who are in their daily employ.

Dec. 1. The rice mills of Messrs. Ewbank and Co. at Shad Thames, were almost entirely destroyed by fire. damage is supposed to exceed 20,000l.

On Sunday, Dec. 2, and following days, a series of very destructive storms visited the southern coast. On Portland beach, in particular the loss of vessels and of lives was very dreadful. Seventeen vessels were lost during the gales of Tuesday and Wednesday, between St. Alban's and Bridport, and many of the crews entirely perished. The Edystone Lighthouse received considerable damage. On the coast of Ireland, also, the lighthouse and part of the pier at Ardglass, in the Bay of Dundrum, which had been nearly completed at an expense of 26,000l. were destroyed bythe violence of the late storms.

Dec. 10. A new chapel, built on a site adjacent to the Barracks' burialground, a mile to the north of Hastings, and called St. Clement's chapel, after the parish church, was dedicated by the Lord Bishop of Chichester. On the foundation stone is this inscription: "This stone was laid by Mrs. Sarah Milward, Patroness of this Edifice, 18 April 1838." And within is the following: "This Chapel was erected in the year 1838. It contains 542 sittings, and in consequence

of a grant from the Incorporated Society for promoting the enlargement, building, and repairing of Churches and Chapels, 362 of that number are hereby declared to be free and unappropriated for ever. John Parkin, M.A. Minister. Thomas Catley, Chapelwarden." Mr. Catley is also the architect, and the building is a neat design in the Early English style. The land was given by Mrs. Milward, and that lady contributed the greater part of the expense.-On the same morning, by a fall of the cliff, the small chancel of the new church at St. Leonard's was entirely thrown down.

Dec. 13. The consecration of Trinity Church, Gray's Inn Lane, took place. It is built of brick, with a small steeple of stone. Beneath are catacombs, which will hold 1000 coffins, and the church will accommodate 1500 persons. It has a handsome organ, built by Messrs. Hall, of the New road. The cost of the whole is about 7,2007. near 3,000l. of which has been raised by contributions from the parishioners.

Dec. 20. The premises of Messrs. Francis, and Co. Sugar-bakers, Whitechapel, were destroyed by fire. They were situated in Half-moon Alley, and commonly known as the Rush house, it is said from the proprietors having for. merly exported largely to Russia. The value of the property destroyed is estimated at 120,0007. of which 27,8007. was insured.
