    2. West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser. Friday 28th February, 1851. Part One TAPSCOTT'S LINE OF PACKETS, for New York. Regular Packet of the 5th March. The Magnificent fast-sailing Z line Packet Ship "Arctic," Capt. JOHN ZEREGA, 2500 Tons Burthen, will positively sail as above her regular day. This splendid new Packet Ship is one of the largest and most superb Ships afloat, and is fitted up in a superior manner to meet the wishes of all classes of Passengers, having Private Rooms in Second Cabin and Poop, for Families or Single Persons; which with the well-known gentlemanly and kind attention of her Commander to his Passengers, should command for this noble Ship a decided preference. The superior qualities of this noble Ship have been fully proved during her last passage to New York, when so many first-class Packets returned after being at sea as many days as it took the "Arctic" to make her voyage. For terms of passage, and to secure a preference of berths, Deposits of GBP1 a-head should be remitted by Post-office Orders, or otherwise, to W. TAPSCOTT and Co., St. George's Buildings, Regent Road, Clarence Dock, Liverpool, and 7 Eden Quay, Dublin.

EMIGRATION - The Barque "Good Intent," JOHN WARBURTON, Master, is expected to sail from Fowey for Quebec, with Passengers, on or about the first week in April next. The Fares will be the same as of any Ship from Padstow, Falmouth, Plymouth, or other parts in the Channel; with the full allowance of Water and Provisions to every Passenger. This well-known Ship, which possesses such superior accommodations, and which obtained so much approbation from the passengers who have sailed in her, is strongly recommended to those who intend crossing the Atlantic.

EMIGRATION TO QUEBEC - The fine fast sailing Coppered and Copper-fastened first class Ship "Daedalus," 650 Tons Burthen, THOMAS BULLMAN, Commander, will leave Padstow on or about the 10th of April next for Quebec, and will take both Cabin and Steerage Passengers. The "Daedalus" is a regular trader, has a comfortable Poop Cabin, and airy, spacious, and lofty between decks, which will be fitted up in every way calculated to ensure the health and comfort of passengers. The fortunate passages of this favourite vessel are well known, and as she is the finest ship leaving Padstow this spring, persons intending to emigrate, are advised to inspect her before engaging their passage. The passage money will be very moderate, and the passengers will be plentifully supplied with provisions and water according to the Act. The advantages of Padstow as a port of departure are well known and appreciated by all connected with the county of Cornwall, as vessels sailing from then have often from its situation, been many days less on their passage than those which have been advertised to leave other ports. This is therefore well worthy the attention of all about to emigrate. Apply to Mr. HENRY HICKS, Newquay; Mr. S. WORDEN, Amble; Mr. N. KEAT, Delabole; Mr. JAMES BRENTON, Rock Quay; or SEATON, BRYANT and Co., Padstow. February 25, 1851.

PROPOSED NEW CHURCH AT STELLENBOSCH, CAPE OF GOOD HOPE - There is, at present, no building for public worship in connexion with the English Episcopal Church, in the whole district of Stellenbosch. The only service in English in the town itself of Stellenbosch, or within fifteen miles on any side of it, is that of the Church of England, which is now performed in the Government School Room, which for many reasons, is not convenient for the purpose. Besides a large coloured population, the town and neighbourhood of Stellenbosch contain several resident English families, many young persons, who have emigrated from England within the last fifteen or twenty years, and are a favourite resort of the numerous visitors from India who come to the Cape for the benefit of its fine climate. It is therefore most desirable that there should be, with as little delay as possible, a church erected in Stellenbosch, in which all of these may have the opportunity of meeting together to hear the word of God, and the gospel preached in their own language, and may enjoy the privilege, in this distant country, of joining in the same solemn offices of devotion and praise as their friends are using at home, and as they themselves enjoyed before they left their native land. The Rev. F. CARLYON, the minister of the district, appeals therefore with confidence to the Christian sympathy of all who have at heart the extension of the Redeemer's Kingdom, for a supply of the funds necessary for the building of a church at Stellenbosch, where, it must be felt, it is so much needed. A most suitable site for a church has been granted by the municipality of the town, and the good work will be commenced as soon as a sufficient sum has been raised to warrant the building committee in taking such a step. FREDERICK CARLYN, B.A., Minister. Mr. W. McDONALD, Mr. GEORGE BLATCHFORD, Churchwardens. Stellenbosch, June 13, 1850. Subscriptions will be received by E. T. CARLYON, Esq., Truro; EDMUND CARLYON, Esq., St. Austell; and at the Cornish Bank Truro, Falmouth, and Redruth. Also, at the London and Westminster Bank, London; and at the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. It is requested that all sums shall be made payable to the Lord Bishop of Cape Town, and the Rev. F. Carlyon, and that it may be expressly stated that the remittance is sent for the "Stellenbosch Church Fund." MARRIAGES BILL - The Earl of St. Germans moved the second reading of the Marriages bill. The Noble Earl contended that marriage with a deceased wife's sister was not prohibited in Scripture, and quoted largely from authorities both theological and legal in support of his argument. The Archbishop of Canterbury opposed the bill on religious grounds, and moved that it should be read a second time that day six months. The Bishop of Exeter in seconding the amendment, denounced as incestuous the marriages which this bill proposed to legalize. The Bishop of St. Davids admitted that there was no express prohibition in scripture against these marriages, but the public feeling against them was so strong that he could not consent to the second reading of this measure. The Bishop of Norwich opposed, and Lord Gage supported the bill. Lord Campbell said that the parties seeking relief by this bill had knowingly and wilfully violated the law. He was opposed to the measure on principle, and hoped it would be rejected. The Bishop of London, Lord Brougham, and the Bishop of Ossory likewise spoke against the measure, and Earl St. Germans having replied. Their lordships divided, when the bill was rejected by a majority of 34 - fifty peers voting against the motion for the second reading, and sixteen for it. THE GREAT EXHIBITION - Reduced Fares By Times Coach, Truro to Exeter and back for 24s.! ! ! - On Monday the 3rd of March the "Times" will commence leaving Pearce's Royal Hotel, Truro, at half-past Four (after the arrival of the mail from Falmouth), and will continue to do so every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, reaching the White Lion Hotel, Exeter, at Five in the Afternoon, in time for passengers to proceed on to Bristol by the 5.45 train. Mr. PROCKTER has also determined to commemorate the present eventful year by issuing return tickets (a new era in coaching) available at any time, so as to enable his friends to travel from Truro to Exeter and back again for the reduced charge of twenty-four shillings, being a saving of twenty-five per cent. over any other mode of transit, as the following list of prices will shew:- Truro to Exeter and back 24s. outside. 42s. inside. St. Columb and back 24s. 42s. Wadebridge and back 22s. 36s. Camelford 20s. 39s. N.B. - The "Times brings up passengers to Launceston for the Express Coach to Bideford and Barnstaple, and also to Tavistock. The fairs will be received by Mr. Prockter, and tickets will be given in exchange. Observe - twenty minutes allowed at Launceston for refreshment both up and down. THE SHERIFF'S CARRIAGE - A very elegant state carriage is in course of preparation by Messrs. G. FRANKLIN and CO., coach-builders, Exeter, for the high Sheriff of Cornwall, Mr. WILLIAM WILLIAMS, of Tregullow. THE ARMY - Mr. W. R. OLIVEY, son of Mr. H. O. Olivey, of Mylor, has been appointed (by purchase) an Ensign of the 91st Regiment of Infantry, now stationed at Liverpool. Mr. J. C. ADAMS - The portrait of this eminent mathematician has been painted by Mr. MOGFORD, and will be engraved by Mr. SAMUEL COUSINS, on of the first of mezzotint engravers. It is gratifying to see that the portrait of this gifted Cornishman, the twin-discoverer with Le Verrier, of the planet Neptune - is about to be given to the world through two of our most celebrated artists; and it is gratifying also to observe that the subscription list is headed by his Royal Highness Prince Albert.
