Nelson, Jan. 1, 1849. C. Elliott.

The friends of the Voluntary Principle, will learn with deep interest that the Hon. and Rev. Baptist Noel has seceded from the Church of England establishment, and it is said on the ground of his no longer approving of the union of Church and State. The rev. gentleman took a formal leave of the congregation at St. John's Chapel, Bedford-row, over which he had presided for a period of 26 years, in December last, but it is '•■ not known what are the ulterior views of the reverend seceder. Man v. Hoßßß.— After the last race of the Union Hunt Club meeting, a very novel jumping match, for £50 aside, over a hurdle about four feet high, came off between Mr. C.H. Reynard, and Mr. W. Watt's horse, the veterinary surgeon of Settrington, five years old. Th« conditions of the match were, that it should be a clear leap, and in the event of them clearing it, the hurdles were then to be raised higher, until one or the other was beaten. Mr. B. B. Thompson was chosen umpire. The toss of choice of jumping first was won by Mr. Reynard, when he ordered the horse to leap first. The horse then came at the hurdle, ridden by Mr. W. Wilson, but did not succeed in clearing it, slightly tipping the hurdle as he went over. It was now Mr. Reynard's turn to jump, when he cleared the hurdle at the first attempt, and consequently won the match. Wilson then tried the horse at a much greater height, when he proved himself a first-rate leaper. The horse stands about 15 hands high.— -Yorkshire Gazette. A Yakkbb Mats. — Some time since the Yankee schooner Sally Ann, under the command of Captain Spooner, was beating up the Connecticut river ; Mr. Comitock, the mate, was at his station forward : according to his notion of things, the schooner was getting rather too near certain flats which lay along the larboard shore. So aft he goes to the captain; and with his hat cocked on one side, says, " Captain Spooner, you are getting rather too close to them 'are fiats Jthad'nt you better go about?" To which Captain Spooner replied, " Mr. Comstock, do you go forward and attend to your part of the skuner ; I'll attend to mine." Mr. Comstock " mizzled forward in high dudgeon. " Boys," said he, " see that 'are mudhook all clear for letting go." "Ay, ay, sir, all clear." Down went the anchor, out rattled the chain, and, like a flash, the Sally Ann came luffing into the wind, and then brought up all standing. Mr. Comstock walked aft, and. touching his hat very cavalierly, •• Captain Spooner," said he, " Mr part of the schooner is at an anchor !"
